As these percentages show little change from jyear to year it may be assumed that lode gold deposits will erontinue to be the main source of the Are we Ju growth is | continuge to 0e L metal in Canada At present the older mines are Cconâ€" tributing about 45 per cent of the lode gold output, and the younger mines about 44 per cent. As the total producâ€" tion has been increasing steadily for several years, it is therefore evident that the older mines are maintaining their ore reserves, Moreover, there appears to be every likelinood that these min?s will be capable of maintaining their operations on the present seale for many more years, as, owing to the inâ€" creased price of gold, lowâ€"grade ore from the older workings is now being milled. One mine alone reports that in 1935 and in 1936 it was drawing 37 per ecent of the total ore milled from maâ€" terial formerly regarded as waste rock.

The finding of new mines is not trhc‘ only way by which gold production can be maintained and increased, as the| history of gold mining shows. For exâ€" ample. gold increased almost four times in value between 1300 and 1717. Inl the latter year it was fixed at the equivalent of $20.67 an ounce. ’1“11'1.5l was purely an arbitrary figure, but 1t1 was sufficient then to bring forth a | requisite volume of production. Howâ€" ever, in 1930, the International (xcolo-, available on the poss far northern regions, work so far carried out able hopes of making Notwithstanding the ed., because, other CONGIUIONS â€" VUllis equal, mining and millirg costs per ton are about the same regardless of the grade of ore. It becomes evident then, that the mining of the lower grade ore today is made possible largeâ€" ly by the increase in the price of gold. It should be remembered that an ore which was worth only $4.00 a ton under the old price is new worth $7.00, There is still another way whereby our presert rate of producticn may be maintained and that is through the lowering of costs per ton of ore treated. This is being brought about by the imâ€" provement in mining and metallurgical methcds that have made possible the gradual lowering of the grade of ore milled, as well as permitting the minâ€" ing of gold ores that could not formerly be treated.

Let them answer that, He has been behind the mahoâ€" gany ever since the bar was established; a fixture, as it were; a stable feature of the Leagus. He held a concession, granted Hy the leagued nations of the world. That‘s how important he was. Through all the ups and downs of the League it was Carlo‘s Cluty to remain at his post, caln and unshaken at the core of a jittery world; and he did. He knew how to comfort the despairing and rejoice with the exuberant. He held the key that released varying emoâ€" tions. He was a diplomat among diploâ€" mats. Carlo, the bartender. And now he‘s gone. A country unâ€" friendly to the League saw another way of hurting it, and it struck through Carlo. What has Fate in store for this (From Globs and Mail) The League of Nations gets another jolt from Italy, The League‘s bartenâ€" der, capable and popular with interâ€" national figures, has been obliged to take off his agpron and throw up his job. His name is Carlo. Poor Carlo! It will not be nice to go back to Italy, and perâ€" haps do ordinary and ‘uninteresting work. The artist cannot turn readily to mental labour that any one can undertake. But apparently Carlo was subject to the recall; and he has been recalled. Stories or Carlo no doubt have been told in setect circles throughout the world.
