Convict Toronto Man in Highâ€"Grade Case Hyman Herman Found Guilty in Second Cases Hyman Herman, aged 39. a tailor, with one child, who won some fame earlier this year by being caught by Toronto police wearing a special corset underneath which was concealed gold valued at around seven th‘susand do‘llars, was on Friday found guilty of having gold concealed on his person and illeâ€" gally having gold. Sentence was deâ€" ferred U@ntil Wednesday. Hermag was first tried in February and was senâ€" tenced to six nronths but won his freeâ€" dom on an appeal. At the trial Friday it was held by the defence that he was being tried a second time for the same alleged offence, but the crown held that this was a different charge. H erman‘s story was that a stranger gave him $25 to go with him to Timmins where they got the gold and he was simply carryâ€" ing it for the other fellow when arrested. Herman said he had been on relief in Toront‘> recently. To celebrate the twertyâ€"third anniâ€" versary of the ‘beginning of mission work among the Finnishâ€"speaking citiâ€" zens of Timmins and South Porcupine, the Finnish United Church congregaâ€" tions of Timmins and South Porcupin: and their Sunday Schools, Young Peoâ€" ple‘s Groups and Choirs and English Language Schools are planning special occasions during the month of Decstmâ€" ber. Dear Sir:â€"I should be very much obliged if you would, through the colâ€" umns of The Advance, ask the public of Timmins, to bring in to the Mines Rescue Station any clothing they may have to spare.

To Celebrate 23rd Church Anniversary The chain of celebrations is to start with an everyâ€"person canvas among the Finns of the district for the support of the Church. Voluntary donations will also be acceptsd from businressmen and other citizens of Timmins and South Poercupine district who appreciate the â€"value to the community of a virile and efficient church, also among nonâ€" English speaking citizens. The date of the anniversary services has not been decided as yet, pending arrangements with special spz2akers for that occasion. It will, however, be near the 12th of as on that day twentyâ€"three years ago the first serâ€" vices of worship in the Pinnish lanâ€" guage were held in Timmins and South Porcupine. There are left only about a dozen or two of the oldâ€"timers, who were present on these occasions, and six babies who were baptized at thess serâ€" vices and who are now grown up. They are expected to be prestnt at these anâ€" niversary celebrations with their childâ€" ren and wives and husbands. It so happens that the first minister to the Finns and Scandinavians of Timâ€" mins, South Porcupine and district, the Rev. A. I. Heinonen, is again now after twentyâ€"three years their minister.

This difference is strikingly portrayed in a review of the "Canadian Mining Manual" for 1896. The subâ€"title of the report is in itself an interesting indication of the difference between the ‘mining Industry of that time and this. At the same time the very issuing of such a volume showed that even in those days there were men of vision, faith and foresight who pictured in their minds the possibilitiee of this country from a mining standpoint. The report was reviewed last week by the "Grab Samples" column of The Norâ€" thern Miner, and the article is well worth thoughtful attention. The folâ€" lowing is the review:â€" Mining in 1899 The Canadian Mining Manual for the year 1899 makes interesting reading, if you can secure a copy. It was pubâ€" lished by B. T. A. Bell of Ottawa and it was described as "An Authentic Digest of Information Relating to the History, Organization and Operations of the Collieries, Metal Mines, Blast PFurnaces and Smelting Works of the Dominion of Canada and the Colony of Newâ€" foundland." Mr. Bell had a connettion with the Department of Agriculture and had numerous other titles, as Editor, Canadian Mining Review; secretary. Canadian Mining Institute:; Hon. Secreâ€" tary, Mining Society of Nova Scotia; Secretary, General Mining Association of the Province of Quebec, etc. The total mineral production of Canâ€" ada was estimated for the year 1898 as $38,000,000 and this figure showed a gain of $10,000,000 over the preceding year. The Yukon â€"had contributed $8,â€" 070,000 in gold in the year, which acâ€" counted largely for the advance made. ‘Gold production of Ontario was only $275,078 in the year and for Quezec the figure was $6500. The total output of all minerals for Quebec was figured at $2,000,000 and for Ontario $7,201,891. ~British Colunmbia led all provinces, with $10,906,861 and Nova Scotia was in secâ€" ord place with $8,000,000. Nickel proâ€" «duction in Ontario had only reached a value of $514,220 and copper output was about half that valuation. The Canaâ€" dian Copper Company and the Oxford Copper Company were advertisers in the manual, the latter cffering "Ferroâ€" nickel and ferroâ€"nickel oxides for use in preparing "nickelâ€"steel for armour plates." â€" Robt.

The Eustis Mining Company was in business at Capleton, Qusebec, and adâ€" vertised that it was prepared to conâ€" tract with sulphuric acid manufacturâ€" ers for their supply of sulphur. Other advertisers were Ledoux and Co., J. T. Donald and Co., assaying companies ENTERS OUR PRIVATE and INDUSTRIAL LIVES Shipments from Canadian Talec and Soapstone deâ€" posits go back to the period from 1886 to 1906 when some 50 to 1420 tons were shipped. Before 1900 the production consisted mainly of impure Tale and Soapstone shipped from the Province of Quebec. At the turn of the present century operations were commenced on the high grade talc deposists of the Madoc district in Ontario. A certain amount was mined at Anderson and Sooke Lakes in British Coâ€" lumbia. The production figure for the year 1935 From babyhood Tale is used by individuals and inâ€" dustry, too. Talc Jhas a soft, greasy feel and is pearly in appearance. It is usually translucent with a white or greenish to grey colour. Tale is casily split, into thin sheets, which are flexible but not elastic like Mica. Talc is consumed domestically in the paint, pulp and paper, roofing material, soap and cleaning preparaâ€" tion indyustries. Also in the manufacture of toilet preparations. Canada is one of the four countries of the world producing Talc, the United States of America, France and Italy being the others. for Canada was 13,803 tons. This was valued at $139,556.00.: Some 8,927 tons of tale were exp'.)rt.ed during this period. oTTAW A KIRKLAMD LAKE ST. JOHN‘S, NFLD.

Krupps of Germany were offering mining maâ€" chinery, including crushers, ball mills and stamps. It is notable that most of the advertisers of machinery and supâ€" plies were British or American, with agents in Canada. Exceptions were Imâ€" perial Oil, the Fairbanks Company, the Ontario Powder Company, Canadian General Electric, the B. Greening Wire Company and the Wm. Hamilton Manâ€" ufacturing Company. The universities advertised in those days, the School of Practical Science, Toronto offering courses in civil and mining engineering and the Kingston School of Mining likewise. In the latter institution, now part of Queens Uniâ€" versity, there was a threeâ€"year course in mining engineering, analytical chemâ€" istry and assaying; a fourâ€"year course in mining, chemistry and mineralogy; a prospectors‘ course, anticipating the present facilities: "The School offers to miis foremen, assryers, prospectors and mining men generally special courses of instruction beginning Januâ€" ary 9th, 1900, and continuing eight weeks." Dr. W. L. Goodwin was the diâ€" rector. The Province of Quebec was offering inducemernts to foreign capital to invesâ€" tigate the mineral resources of the proâ€" vince. The price to be paid for mining lands was $5 per acre for inferior meâ€" tals and $10 for superior, the latter emâ€" bracing gold, silver, lead, copper, nickel, graphite, asbestos, mica and phosphate Of lime.

This mineral is mainly used, in the shape of blocks, as a refractory lining in alkali recovery furnaces in paper mills using the sulphite process. Fowdered soapstone is used as a filler in various industries. When mixed with Portland cement it has been used successfully for interior plastering purposes. It gives a very white velvet finish, Soapstone is also used in the manufacture of fireless cookers, fireplaces, stoves, wood or coal burners and electrical heaters, When polished soapstone takes a soft marbleâ€"streaked appearance.
