From Mucker Here to j Minister of Mines} MONDAY. MB 2181". 1938 Hon. W. J. Asselstine Recalls Old Acquaintances in Por- cupine. One of the most prominent and po- pular of the guests at the Canadian InstiLute of Mining and Metallurgy at Toronto last week was Hon. W. J. Asseltine, Minister of Mines for Bri- tish Columbia. Hon. Mr. Aseeltine was among the pioneers of Cobalt and For- cupine camps. and with all the “re- miniscing" that went on at the Insti- tute gathering; it was only natural that Mr. Asselstine should recall old days and 02d friends. The Globe and Mail last week had the following reference: Minister of Mines Got Start A: Mucke: Hon. W. J. Asselst-ine.

" Beware the New Originating cFrom "Grab Samples" in The Northern Miner) Something new in the way of a come- on scheme to interest the pubhc in a mining project has come out of Mexico. It is rather clever in its way. as it appeals to the well known cupidlty of man in a somewhat unusual way. Something for nothing is the basis of the scheme. of course. Apparently the Mexican organization has bought an extensive Canadian “sucker list” and has been circularizing the names. Canadians who never own- ed a share of stock in any project out- side the country creceive word from Mexico that they have already paid in a certain sum of an interest, in The Chiapas Mining Co. They are told that by the payment of a modest balance they will receive their stock. In order to facilitate matters the circular has attached to it a “Lost Certificate Affidavit" which the alleg- ed owner of the stock is asked to sign and return. Anyone following out this suggestion would. of course, be com- pounding a felony. The literature sent to the intended. victim includes a dficriplh’e circular. giving pictorial and othm- details of the mine which is said i -. have produced 355000.000 in 11".” years under British management. A phot23raph of the layou» of the old plant is: reproduced and also a picture of a mocivrn small gold mill whim is: to replace the old Apart from all that it should not be necessary for Canadians to be warned that the plan is simply designed to get them to send in a remittance on the pretext, that. they have already partly paid for shares in a Mexican gold mine of which they had never before heard.

Consulting Engineer. in company's annual report, which sum- marizes work from May. 1936. to the end of 1937. The lease which the company had on the Goldale shaft for period of Lhree years expired and work therefrom was discontinued. due to negative results. Mr. Wright says he still believes chances of finding commercial ore at depth on western part of property are excellent and points out that drilling he recommended from adjoining work- ings on the 3.000â€"f00t level has yet to be done. Contiguous claim to the south was purchased and drilling showed good vein structure with further under- ground drilling recomeinnded. 1. 1936. to Dec. 31. 1937. to which is add- ed $7.450 for loss on sale of fixed assets.

Interesting Address at C. I. M. M. Meeting. Centralization of authority. multipli- cation of officials and lack of respon- sibility on the part of those supposed to be in charge of operations appear largely responsible for Russia’s failure to meet objectives of her five-year plan." Dr. E. L. Bruce. Queen's Uni- versity. last week told the Canadian Inst-itte of Mining and Metallurgy in a presentation of his observations during a recent visit to Russia. “It is like’iy that this failure explains some of the constant accusations of sabotage that appear in news from Russia during recent months." he said. “Where there is failure to fulfill the plan some reason must 'be found that will not reflect on the wisdom of the government and the party. Russia had departed far afield from the original Communist plans of benin he said. Classlessness no longer exist- ed.

Interesting Display at Convention Last Week «Globe and Mail» No comment upon the big convention would be complete without mention of the exceptionally interesing and well- presented exhibition of machinery. chemicals. instruments and other pro- ducts of affiliated industries which has been a part. and a very important one, of the biggest gathering in mining‘s history in Canada. By far the largest collect-ion of mining needs ever assem- bled on this side of the international line. it also provided the 14.000 peeple who had seen it up to last night With a graphic picture of the modern me- thods and equipment attend-ant upon Canada’s important industry and of the part, science plays in .thc advance- ment of that industry. From tiny cam- eras, which modern engineers use to bring back visual evidence of their dc- velopments. to giant crushcrs with two~ ton castings, the cxhibiion was a pano- rama of the tremendous strides made in recent years. In our opinion it was cne of the best and most informative innovations yet introduced under the auspices of the Institute and should be repeamd in other meetings of the kind. R. A. Mclnnis Sees Great Future for Forest Experts P... A. McInncs, formerly manager of the Avbitibi Power and. Paper Co. at Iroquois, Falls. and for years president or the Northern Ontario Aesociated Boards of Tiade. but more recently general manager of the Anglo- -Cana- dian Pulp and Paper Co. Ltd. of Que- bec, and president of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, in a re- ccnt interview. said: “As the industry has: grown to huge proportions it has become more stabilized and the at- tention of executives has been directed "Such matters as forestry and con- servation have been greatly developed and in all the various ramifications of the industry there is a call for young men who are willing to enter it as a professionâ€"I lay emphasis upon that word. I mean a profession in the same sense as it is understood by those who enter mining. Technical training is essential. but naturally the progress of those who come in to the industry depends to a considerable degree upon other essential qualificationsâ€"toler- ance, broadvmindedness and vision. “As a proof of the statement that the industry offers a future to young Canadians I might point out that 20 years ago the pulp and paper compan- ies in this country were manned al- most entirely by non-Canadians. To- day they are managed and operated largely by Canadians. Not only that but Canadians trained in our own industry have found many Opportuni- ties in other countries. in great, degnee toward perfection of production and development of new p' 'roceCL/bso “The demand for the type of man I have characterized. pardmflamly in forestry. will be great/2r and greater." known 3: located at west of n ported to in high-g known as the Lucky Cross property. located at Swastika few miles to the west of the Kirkland Lake camp. is re- ported to be devempmg important. ore in high-grade and low-grade veins in underground work.

Young Davidson Mine Not Milling the Highest Grade While Young Davidson Mines treat- ed higher daily tonnage during the month of February. production was be- low that of the previous month due to treatment of a lower grade of ore.
