During Christmas In the home, the joy of Christmas reaches its peak, bus every year childâ€" ish laughter is changed to tears, or is possibly stilled forever, becaus> of some careless or thouszhtless act of an indulâ€" gent but illâ€"advised parents. Tragedy has pretty well done away with practice of lighting candles on Christâ€" mas trees, decoravions, etc. Electric lights are safer, but only approved cquipment should be used and i: should be kept in proper repair. Lights that become very hot should not be installed on Christmas trees, nor in clos> proxâ€" imity to flammable shades or other similar materials. Flamseâ€"proofed deâ€" corations only should be us>d. These obsefvations with regard to Christmas i trees and decorations apply even more particularly to public gatherings, where the lives of a large rumber of children are likely to be endangored in case of I accident. Smokers should exercise particular care at this s>ason when there are so many opportunities for accidental fires from carelessness. Grate fires should be well screened to prevent the escape of sparks and to protect small children and their toys from them. Wasts: wrapping papers should b> immediateâ€" ly disposed of and not 3e permitted ts accumulate. After Christmas When evergreen vrees have become dried ow, they will burn like powder and give off heat and smoke so rapid that they constitute a severe hazard to both life and property. As soon as they have served their purpose, they should be removed from che house and taken away. Under no circumstarcse should they be kept in the basement or near any heating equiprent. Because of their extrem»e flammability and the danger of a "backâ€"fire" it is not a safe practice +o trv to kurn them in the furnace. Other fiammable materials, such as waste paper and surplus boxes, should also be disposed of and should not be piled away in the basement or attic. ‘ The Christmas Spirit! "Tis a Wondrous Thing‘!

An. eastâ€"west striking vein of quartz and. calcite is exposed in several crenches dug many years ago. The lava is carbonated near the vein, but very little‘sulphide minâ€" eralization was observed.

The general strike of the veins is N. 80° E., and they dip steeply north. The veins contain tourmaline but not many sulphides. C. W. Pextonâ€"Charles W.

The veins follow fractures cutâ€" ting across the strike of the flows. Low gold values have been reported. M. Bartnettâ€"M.

No further information is availab!‘s. Claim P.9,608 â€" CTlaim P.9,608 is a patented situat»d in the northâ€" west corner of lot 2, concession II. The rock outecropping here consists of masâ€" sive lava. A shafs was sunk to a depth of 50 feet abour 25 years ago, and some diamond drillinz has been done singe. Ssmall quartz stringers containing disâ€" seminated pyrite occur in the lavas., Possibilities of the Area Very little prospecting has been done in th> area, except in Jessop cownship, because most of the ground is already patented or is covered with a thick mantle of glacial drift. A few lots have been prospected sither by the owner or by a mining company. Furâ€" ther exploration of the carbonatized zone occurring in the lavas in concesâ€" sion III of Hoyle township might prove worthwhile. Bigâ€"Scale Sturgeon Fishing in the North Some years ago a great deal was said about the possibilities of James and Hudson Bays for commercial fishâ€" ing. One of the scrong points in conâ€" nection with the "On to the Bay" movement, which culminated in an exâ€" tension of the T. N.O. Railway to Moosonee, was the claim that whe shipâ€" ping of fish and the fishing industry generally would prove to be of value to the extension. Company Formed to Exâ€" _ploit Fishing in Albany River. Later it was announced that the fishing was net up to the mark, from a commercial point of view, and conâ€" siderable disappointment was the reâ€" sult. However, now comes a story to the affect that "fish (presumably sturgâ€" eon) are so thick in Albany River tha it is dangerous for: planes <to land." From the story, as published in the is is dangerous for planes to land." From the story, as published in the daily press, we quote: "Under a small group of skilled foreâ€" r>n, Indians on the Albany River will start work Monday on a $100,000 conâ€" struction program intended (lo bega@n bigâ€"scale sturgeon fishing by spring.
