The Ottawa Journal has always been a friend of the North and of the mining industry, and because of this it is regrettable that some words used by The Journal should be generally misinterpreted. The Journal in a recent editorial pointed out the value of the mining industry to the country and then added a word of disapproval for mining speculation, which it considered a bad thing. Those who are in close touch with mining know TIMMINS®, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Associlation; Ontarinâ€" Quebo* Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group The Advance has been expecting that Sault Ste. Marie would be right back with a story of a man in ‘that town who had his pants and his shirt stolen while he slept. The Sauli, however, seems to have been too occupied with other matters to attempt to beat the story of the stolen boots. But along comes Sudbury with a tale that puts the boots to the story of the boots for trontâ€"page mention. The Sudbury yarn says that Leo Levesque cut the feet out of the socks of Herman Houlahan while the latter slept. Herman Houlahan was formerly an Ottawa school teacher. Houlahan had been forcâ€" ed to seek other work tuan school teaching to make a living and had been employed in Sudbury. He had drawn a pay cheque for his work and after paying some bills had taken $80.00 home with him to the room he occupied in company wtih Levesque and another young man whose father is said to be a professor of music in Toronto. Houlahan countâ€" ed the money and placed it in his pocket while the other two young men were in the room. He then turned out the light and transferred the money to his socks for safety. Apparently, however, Levesâ€" que smelled the money in the socks, and rising in the night, neatly cut the bottom of the socks and was able thus to secure the $80.00. Had Houlahan slept with his boots on, he would likely have had his money in the morning. ~In the West in pioneer days men used to boast about dying with their boots on. In this North in these days it seems to be much more important to sleep with your boots on. By this plan you save your boots, your socks, andâ€"in Sudburyâ€"your eighty dollars. In pioneer days in the North a man‘s money would be reasonâ€" ably safe in his socks, his pants, under his pillow, or lying on a thair. In Timmins in its earlier days there were scores of houses that were never locked up. One residential front door was never locked, for the simple reason that it wouldn‘t lockâ€"the lock didn‘t work. But it didn‘t matter. Merâ€" |chants often used to go home at night and forget to take in the suits or the rakes or spades or whatâ€" not left on display before the store in the daytime. The goods would be still there, safe and sound, in the morning. But times change! What a differâ€" ence! A man loses his boots to the lightâ€"fingered while he sleeps Or the socks are cut from his feet, and his money taken! Perhaps, that Sudbury man was lucky to find his toenails all in place in the morning. Anyway the fellow that broke into ‘the bank by cutting the bottom of the socks got two monthsâ€"a month for each sock. Apparently nothing for taking the $80.00! It may have been on the principle of the price ticket put on the pair of trousers in the store:â€"*"Pants, $2.00 per leg; Seats Free." Recently Timmins had a case of a pair of boots| being stolen from a transient while he slept as a charity guest in a semiâ€"public building here. Thel man who stole the boots from the sleeping man| was tracked and traced by the efficient Timmins police and sentenced to cne month in jail for his particularly mean theft. The man who stole the boots was a stranger to Timmins so there was no| reflection on the town in the case. Indeed, the moral of the case seemed to be that people who want to steal boots from sleeping men should select some other town for that sort of crime if they consider their own freedom. The whole case} worked out more or less satisfactorily all round,} except that it has never been definitely and surely' known whether the transient was wearing the| boots when they were stolen, or whether he was| one of those fussy individuails who find it necebsary, to take off their boots to sleep. special Low Fares for Easter Season In preparation for the Easter holiâ€" day period, when many people wish to take advantage of the spring weather for travelling to visit relatives and friends in other centres, the railways Of Canada®will place in effect special low round trip excursion fares for the general public and also for teachers and pupils, good between all stations from coast to coast and Newfoundland, according to C.

These rallway :iments ately it is not what The Journal said. Speculation is the very life of mining. Without it, there can be no mining. Unless people are ready to take a chanceâ€"â€"a long chanceâ€"there will be no mining properties developed. It was the speculative spirit of the late Noah Timmins that made the Porcupine mining industry possible. Had he not ventured his moneyâ€"and others like him followed his galâ€" | lant exampleâ€"there would have been no Cobalt,; ‘ no Porcupine, no Kirkland Lakeâ€"and the history of Ontario would have been differentâ€"and not so satisfactory. There has to be the spirit of advenâ€"| ! tureâ€"of taking a chanceâ€"in the mining business. ’ It is because of this that The Advance has always !urged that the returns from successful ventures must be greater than in ordinary business it there are not large returns in the successful cases,| i the venture is not worth while. There is also the thought that there must be specially good returns in the cases of success to offset the losses in the many failures that seem inevitable in the game. exactly what The Journal meant, but untortun-‘ | | There are many peopleâ€"some with much money, _and some with lessâ€"to whom speculation makes | particular appeal. They are ready to take the | chance, and only ask a fair run for their money. This is the point of the matter. There should be a fair run for the money! The Advance believes that The Ottawa Journal would support this form l of speculation to the limit, as necessary and vital i to mining development. As a matter of fact it is | necessary in all business and all enterprise. | | 9 It is this element of speculationâ€"of ventureâ€" of chanceâ€"that makes it impractical and imposâ€" sible for mining to be conducted by governments. Some of these who opposed the giving of a grant to assist in the extension of hospital facilities for the people of the town have the impudence to sugâ€" gest that those prominent in urging this piece of justice and good business are not ratepayers in the town. As a matter of fact it will be found that the heaviest ratepayers in the town are the strongest advocates of fair play for the hospital. As a sample it is pertinent to quote the case of a recent meeting at which the hospital grant was discussâ€" ed. There were three men speaking against the grant, and three in favour of it. Any one of the three who spoke in favour of the grant pays each year more in taxes to the town than is paid by the whole three opposing the grant. What The Journal means to condemn is simply the rackets that appear in connection with mining venturesâ€"the "wildeats," as they are known. The public, however, has adopted the false opinion that the wildeat spirit is specially concerned with minâ€" Ing ventures. To judge from public comment the whole 1929 crash was centred round the mining stocks. It is safe to say that wildâ€"catting was much more prevalent in commercial and industrial stocks than in mining ones. The wheat market trimmed the suckers even more effectively than the wildcat mines. In Timmins, for example, there have been commercial exploitations that make the wildest wildcat seem the tamest of tabâ€" bies by comparison. The attempt of a few in town to create illâ€"will between those of different religious faiths should be sternly repressed. Timmins has gotten along well for many years past without this form of illâ€" will, and those seeking to stir up this type of strife for their own mean ends should be set to their proâ€" per place by all concerned. Earl A. Freeman, justice of the peace at Yuma, Arizona, last week fined his wife $10 and costs for speeding. "I‘ve known your husband for a long time and know that he sought to teach members of his family to drive carefully and observe all traffic laws," he told the accused in public court. What the lady said to him in private is not known, but may be guessed. In any event, it is a safe bet to say that the justice of the peace in this case had to pay the fine and costs himself. With the safeguards given by the Ontario Securities Act, mining ventures appear to be well guarded, indeed overguarded, perhaps. There are no ways whereby the foolish may be fully protectâ€" ad from his folly, or the undue greedy kept from the results of that greed. But in attempting to safeguard from the results of undue greed or folly, there is always the danger of improperly curbing the venturesome and the daring. It is not wise to condemn speculation. It is speculation that has made and developed countries. On speculation has been built all advance and all progress. What is needed is speculation, with the speculator havâ€" ing a fair chance and a fair field all round.

It is some weeks ago now since he was convicted on the charge of illeâ€" gal possession of gold. He claimed that he had merely transported the gold from Timmins to Toronto for a stranâ€" ger who had promised to pay him $2500 Eor the service. Whether the authoriâ€" ties believed his story or not, he was convicted of illegal possession of the gold, but was not sentenced at the time. He has been in the Don jail since, while the gold has reposed in the vaults at the Toronto city hall. On Friday last Herman came up again before Magistrate Jones for senâ€" tence, but he was remanded until April 2nd. It is understood that the remand is to allow Magistrate Jones to decide on what is to be done about the gold in question. The counsel for the defence, R, H. Greer, K.C., fyled a memorandum with the court in the case. This memorâ€" andum points out that the section o the criminal code under which H:rman was convicted does not give the court the right to dispose of the gold. "This court has no jurisdiction," Mr. Greer held, adding that it might have . been an oversight whetn the law was drafted, but he assumed as defence counsel that the omission was delitkerate. At Herâ€" man‘s trial no evidence was presented by the crown to show that the gold had Jten stolen or that any mining comâ€" pany had reported a loss by theft.
