"The mining and meâ€" tallurgical standards of Canada, and Ontario ‘in particular, are second to none in the world. If the in charge of the mines are allowed to work out the destinies of the industry with a minimum of government reguâ€" lation and without the burden of too much social they will conâ€" tinue as before Canada an outstanding producer n»f metals and perâ€" haps some day, Canaia may be first instead of second goldâ€"producing counâ€" try of the world." ~ Arguing against the theories of biâ€" metallists, Mr. Bateman quoted the cpinion of banking authorities that to harness gold and silver would be equivâ€" alent to harnessing a horse with an 0o%, and he predicted a general return Oof nations to the gold standard. In the event that United States should be forced to temporarily suspend the gold standard by internal difficulties, he echoed eminent financial opinion that such a move would increase rather than decrease confidence in gold. Possibilities are Great Calling attention to the comparativeâ€" ly brief history of gold mining in Canaâ€" da, the speaker declared that the counâ€" try still offers definite possibilities for larger and richer mines to be discovered and that the finding of such deposits was merely a matter of time. Production of gold has »een the prinâ€" cipal factor in stabilizing Canadian exâ€" change in the difficult economic and financial period since 1929, said the speaker. Empire Built on the old Mines of North ada during the current 12 months perâ€" lod, was the prediction of George C. Bateman, secretary of the Ontario Minâ€" ing Association, in a recent address at Sudbury. Mr. Bateman stated that acâ€" cording to a survey he had made, provâ€" ince by province, the probable gold proâ€" duction of Canada, for the year 1933, exclusive of exchange compensation, would be about $67,500,000, as compared with $63,500,000 in 1932. Tracing the history of gold, the speaker referred to the historical fact that periods of depression frequently ended coincidentally with the discovery of new rich gold fields. He referred to the recent expeditions of prospecâ€" tors by aeroplane into the mountainous, cannibalâ€"infested wilds of New Guinea, the discovery of what was believed to be the western extension of the African Rand, and the growing Canadian gold production, as evidence that the proâ€" duction of gold may prove to be an imâ€" portant aid in lifting the world out of the trough of its present financial diâ€" ffhiculties. Secretary of Ontario Mining Association Predicts New Records of Gold Proâ€" duction for 1933. Refers to Gold as Stabilizer, All previous records in the producâ€" tion of gold including that of the year 1932, will be exceeded in that of Canâ€" H. €, SCARTH, Manager F. £E, COOPER, Manage: "Gold, like all other commodities," he said, ‘"is sold in the highest market and the highest market at the present time is the United States. The governâ€" ment placed an embargo on the export of gold in order to conserve its own gold supply to add to its own reserves and to use the metal at the most adâ€" vantageous time. It would be unthinkâ€" able for the government to have conâ€" fiscated the product of the gold mines any more than to confiscate the proâ€" duct of the farms, except at a fair price. There is no concession to the gold mines. They are merely receiving for their gold what they would receive in the open market. In fact, it has cost the gold mines money, whereas on the other hand the government by withâ€" holding the gold and sending it to the United States when exchange was high, has realized a substantial profit." The following humorous mixâ€"up of the report of a wedding and a funeral will give many a good laugh. Here is the article from The Blairmore Enâ€" terprise:â€" "Reading in the local paper of two issues ago the article entitled "Makâ€" ing Best of a Bad Job," reminds me of another booze artist, this one an editor, who went on his usual fourâ€" day spree two days before his paper was to appear, leaving his work to the "devil" and proof reader to get the paper out on time. Finding they would be unable to make the grade, they tried to arouse the "boss" and succeeded in getting the fact through his befuddled brain that his reputaâ€" tion or something was at stake ant telling him that a funeral and wedding notice were just sent in which they couldn‘t possibly handle and that he must tackle them at once. So he took his pen in hand and wrote: "Last night, or was it this morning, the whole community were plunged into the deepâ€" est sorrow to learn of the sudden marâ€" riage of Susan Ketchum and Joe BOWâ€" ers, which ‘took place in the bridal room of the municipal hospital. The bride looked stunning in her going away dress of purple mauve as she lay in her beautiful white casket surrounâ€" ded by sorrowing relatives, banked by a garland of mistletoe and carnations. The United minister sang the marriage ceremony which united the happy couple. The late Mrs. Hicks leaves to mourn her loss a daughter, Kate, and a son, Bill, Joe and Kate were given many useful and pretty gifts and will be at home at the funeral parlors of George W. Brisket, who had charge Of the funeral arrangements. The Menâ€" delssohn wedding march was played to the tune of "When I‘m Gone You‘ll Soon Forget." We congratulate the Placing emphasis on his confidence in the gold standard, the speaker poinâ€" ted out that in there seemed to be an erroneous impression abroad in conâ€" nection with the payments of exchange compensation to gold mines. Demand Rules Price "Gold, like all other commodities," he said, "is sold in the highest market able 1 quart happy couple in their great sorrow. In the midst of death we are in life. Bill, the bride, is a cousin of the edi~â€" tor‘s widow and has lived here sixty years. Rest in Peace. A fuller account of the funeral will appear in next week‘s issue as we are too full of sorâ€" row to do justice to the happy festiviâ€" tivities. Once more we say hello!, but not goodnight!" Drawing attention to the comparaâ€" tively brief history o7 gold mining in Canada, the speaker was of the opinâ€" ion that the difficult conditions connecâ€" ted with prospecting in ‘Canada was only delaying inevitable new discoverâ€" ies. The country offers definite posâ€" sibilities and the finding .of new and larger mines was only a matter of time.

Naâ€" turally it usually falls To prevent a general collapse of the banks throughâ€" out the United States last week through the popular tendency to withdraw the‘r money, President Roosevelt decreed a general banking holiday. The reperâ€" cussions of this were felt in Canada. The first thought here, of course, was to remember the Unsted States action in depressing the Canadian dollar in recent times, Following this, of course, there were considerations of the way the situation would affect Canada. Then the side issues began to crop up, many of them amusing. Some of the latter kind are entertainingly touched upon by the column, "Grab Samples" in The Northern Miner last week. "Grab Samples" says:â€" "A big fellow from Philadelphia breezed into the manager‘s office of a bank on Bay Street, Toronto, the other Monday morning, and whispered "Can you lock the office door, boss?" The door locked, he took off his pants. Ripâ€" ping out inner stitches he built a mound of big U.S. bills on the floor. Outside the door waited his wife and twelve children. "Split this dough fourteen ways, and open fourteen accounts" he instructed. The pile was worth $65â€" 000, plus $13,000 exchange. He said he was a fruitdealer, though he may have been a bootlegeger. Anyway he got seared of his bank and on a Friday drew out all his money, jumped in his car and travelled day and night to Toronto and safety. The Philadelphia bank folded the next day. "This is not an isolated instance of the fiight of panicky American money to Canada. Customers of another Torâ€" onto bank‘s head office were amused the other day when four gaily clad gipsy women filed up to the receiving teller‘s wicket and opened negotiations. After some excited conversation they began pulling out money from various hidâ€" den places in voluminous partiâ€"colored skirts. Curious byâ€"standers crowded close and were somewhat astonished to note the number and denominations of the bills brought out. A snap estiâ€" mate placed the final total at about $35,000. The women said they had hurried over from Detroit and when asked by the teller why they had not stopped at Windsor to deposit the money they said that "they would not trust any of those small banks." Canadilans have had Some Entertain ment Through the Incidents Arising from the Banking Situation in the U.®.A. "The "bank holiday" of certain Of the American states is causing strange repercussions.

It is tightly sewed up for him now, where he can‘t even spend it himself. "In Denver a strange experiment is going on. An enterprising firm of busiâ€" ness people have had Handy and Harâ€" mon of New York make up for them silver disecs about the size of a silver dollar. These tokens are stamped on the face "1933 Silver, 430 grains" and on the reverse, "Pedley and Ryan and Company, Denver."
