His fertile brain did not take long to assess the value of that tunnel. Here was a way of opening a canteen in Basutoland, which, as Mr. Recoulle always realized, would make you a milâ€" lionaire in no time. It was a safe venâ€" ture for Loftus, and Channing, never at any iime very scrupulous, did not take much persuading to come in. I was an afterthouzht. an afterthought, let me add, of Loitus‘s brain.

But hansg on; I‘ll get it, and you can read the amazing yourself."

CHAPTER XXIX CURIOUS CONFESSION "Well, if you‘re quite certain," said Malcolm, "that Cynthia is determined to sell the place, and that you yourself have no feeling in the matter T‘d love to buy it." "Good man,"~ replied Cornseille, "‘hat‘s a great relief to me. Cynthia wouldn‘t live here at any price; and as ‘or myself, I feel quite differsntly about the whole thing, because it‘s you." f "Richt; ~then +that‘s setled," said Mailcoim, and the two friends shook hands formally over the bargain. They were sitting on the Campsic veranda on the day of Cynthia‘s and return from their honeyâ€" moon, within sight of the river, khotlo and kopje, the scene of those events which, in less than two months, had wrcught such a change in their future. ‘"‘Then you don‘t resent my share in that wretched business!"

And where‘s Corneille?" you must remember that." But the old man did not pause for Malecolim o reply. "Old Petros, th> beat boy, was here just row. He says that that famous boat of theirs was full of liquor and riflesâ€"sixty! â€" And ammunition! The police have th>m, and Petros saw ‘hem with his cwn eyes this morning.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "The storekeeper Aaronson suppliecd us, and his way of doing so was also the safest imaginable. Our daily supplics were poured by his own hands into a wooden vat concealed in the roof above his private office. A pipe led from it into the wall below, at the spot beside which you may have noticed Tom‘s whey cart always stood when he was resting his horses in the hotel yard. It was a matter of only a few minutes for Tom to connect the rubber tube atâ€" tached to the whey cart with the tap conccaled in the wall, and to reverse the process of transferring suppli>s when, conforming to Channing‘s curious fad, he watered his horses at the Campâ€" sie pump on his return home. ‘ l l EeSE "The only other detail in the organâ€" ization I have not yet explained, is the signal from Campsice to Chisf Manks to apprise him of the delivery of consignâ€" ments. Will you tell me how you disâ€" covered the secret of those signals, and . wers thus able to kesop watch at the’ river on the very nizhts on which wel cperated? It defeats me that anyone could have read mischief in a mob of cattle grazing on a bult rezognized as set apart for the special delectation of halfâ€"starved Basutoland cattle." "That gang also brought with them the mechanical arqusbus which fired the lifeâ€"line by which the boat was drawn across to Basutoland, and the collapsible boat whose design was conâ€" seived by Loftus. Corneille will reâ€" member, too, that Channing got all his farm machinery through Loftus and, unlike everybody else, received it in its criginal export cases; and these providâ€" ed an excellent means for getting the riflies for the trads in arms to Campsice. "Ssnortly afier the plan had been conâ€" ceived that great philanthropist, Lo{tus, sent down a batch of 2 hundred downâ€" andâ€"cuts from Johannesk‘urg for a month‘s holiday at Campie. During doubtless they bensefited by ‘the change, the day they were downâ€"andâ€"outs; doubtless they kenefited by the changs, for at night they were a band of most efficient workmen who installed not only the tank at the Campsie pump, which received the daily supplics brought from Brandfontein in the falssâ€" bottomed whey cart by the admirable Tom, but also the pipeâ€"linse which alâ€" lowed the precious liquid to graviate to the cave and then halfâ€"way down the passage, where it was ‘apped into canâ€" vas waterbottles. hank, though thas was hardly nscesâ€" sary, as that spot was already known to every native as the lair of the mythical serpent, the great Kwena. One or two natives saw the boat cross when the trade first began. That was enough. The news of the snake spread far and wide through Basutoland, and ensured us absolute safety; and I doubt that even now you would get natives going to that part of the river at nicht. ‘"That is how Manko came to cloze that path to the river. It gave his minions greater privacy on the river besides being our chief customer; inâ€" deed, he made everything still safer for us, by ‘bscoming sole agent and distriâ€" butor of our commodities, We GC2a with him alone, and payments were all in kindâ€"cattle and diamonds on one side, and drink and arms on the other; and you willâ€"realize that there was no difficulty in accountinz for inconveniâ€" sntly largs amounts dsposited in the bank, when Channing could pretend :o | do so regular a speculative trade in‘ Basutoland cattle. | wl s enc m on en on en omm o. ommc ‘‘Nothing was left to chance.

He readily took on the role of commission and deolivery agont, times from the police post, is not to ke despised. The object, I should say, of my signals, was to assurse our friends on the river that the police were not on pa:rolâ€"an unlikely enough poassibility in any case, but one whicth had to be climinated; for this was to be a safe game.

Mr. James Y. president of Noranda Mines, president of Paâ€" mour Mines was elected a direâ€"tor of the Mutual Life of Canada at the recent annual meeting. Director Mutual Life (To be Continued) ; It is not often that interest in gold ’or the base metals is overshadowed by that of the nonâ€"metallic minerals ,but such was the case last year when developments in tne Turner Valley oil field of Alberta proved to be the centre of attention. Toâ€"day this field is reâ€" cognized as one of the most promising Perhaps the most significant eviâ€" dence of the strength and stability of Canada‘s mining industry is the fact that despite the disturbing developâ€" ments in Europe, and a worldâ€"wide reâ€" cession in business, the value of our 'mineral output last year was in excess of 440 million dollars G>ld again esâ€" tablished a new record, its production being valued at 164 million dollars, alâ€" most 60 per cent higher than that in ©1934. Each year for the past several from fifteen to twentyâ€"five new gold milling plants have been entering | production. Last year, thirtyâ€"eight new producers were added to the list, a greater number than in any past year, and at present eleven plants are under construction. _ Gold fared better in 1938 than did the base metals, for, although the total output of copper, nickel, lead and zinec was much higher than in any previous year, the value because of the decline in metai prices was somewhat lower than in 1937, when it amounted t> 168i million dollars. , Yet, despite the de-l cline from 1937. the value of our base‘ metal production in 1938 was more than 80 per cent higher than in 1934. l Last, but of course, not least, a part of this wealth created by the mines helps to swell the public revenues of the country. Mines making profits in their operations, like individuals and other corporations. pay income and other taxes to the Dominion Governâ€" ment and to the provinces and muniâ€" cipalities in which they are located. No published figures are available as to the total amount paid by the mines in taxes of various forms. Yet from the annual reports of three of the larger mining companies, we find that an amount approximating 13 milliimn dolâ€" lars was set aside for taxes in 1938. services, including labour, our mines are expending a total of about 265 milâ€" lion dollars a yearâ€"As the mines are widely distributed and require such a varied range of g‘>ods for their operâ€" ation. the expenditures have a benefiâ€" cial effect on practically every comâ€" munity and every industry. Dividend payments are now in excess of 100 milâ€" lion dollars annually compared with 50 millions in 1934. | _ _One of the most important, although fperhaps less spectacular, achievements jis the progress that has been made by the industry in devising more efficient methods of extracting the metals and ‘minerals from their ores, and the utiliâ€" zation of byâ€"products formerly wasted. Many of the major mining opsrations have "byâ€"product" recovery plants, in {whlch large quantities of sulphuric acid, sulphur, and the less commonly occurâ€" , ring metals are now recovered.

' The part thus played by our minâ€" eral resources in maintaining our 2coâ€" nomic stability during the past 5 years brings forcibly to our mind the advanâ€" tageous position we, as a nation occuâ€" py in the abundance of our natura} resources, The development of these resources is a national enterprise and all of us have more than a passing inâ€" terest in them.
