The second prOperty is situated in the northeast corner of Shaw township and includes 18 claims equipped with office, blacksmith shop and camp accommoda- tion for twenty men. In a survey of this group Hamlin B. Hatch, consulting geologist, reported: .“Geological condi- tions on the north four claims of the Williamson are similar to those condi- tions in other parts of the Porcupine camp where ore has been found.” Fur- ther surface exploration in preparation for drilling is planned. According“ to a report by W. B. Airth. consulting engineer, the Deloro -town- ship property, consisting of three claims located approximately one mile south- eaSL of Preston East Dome, is underlain by rocks typical of the Porcupine area. Two veins were uncovered on surface and, in recommending diamond drilling Mr. Airth stated: “It may only remain for a thorough programme of explora- tion and development to prove the ex- istence of an orebody.” The new. 601npany, of which Charles V. Gallagher, M.P.P., South Porcupine, is president, has an authorized capital of 3,000,000 shares of $1 par value each. A total of l‘,000,000 shares were issued for properties, and shareholders of Williamson Mines will receive one new share for every four old shares held. Recently incorporated to take over the undertaking of Williamson Mines Limted in the Porcupine camp, Wil- liamson Gold Mines Limited has com- pleted financial arrangements and is planning a programme of diamond drilling on its properties in Deloro and Shaw Townships.

Phone 101-2-3 All the people of_ Canada wanted was to be' assured that the war was being prosecuted with the energy such an undertaking must have, and which they had reason to believe it was not get- ting. Mr. King has refused the assur- ance which would be afforded .by a parliamentary session and has told the electors that they will have to take his word (for it. The self-proclaimed apostle of parliamentary supremacy says in effect, “You must trust me, but II won't trust you.” He has said before that the Government “takes full re- sponsibility," but when the time came to give an accounting of its responsi. ibility, the Government. shirked and re- fuses to give any accounting except on lthe hustings where the possibility of intelligent and critical auditing is re-. {duced to the minimum. Sudbury Star:â€"â€"W’hi1e radio produc- ers rack their brains for comedy ideas, the Finns put on a quiz programme and ask Russian prisoner about world affairs. But Mr. King has arranged that there shall be no opening of the Govern- ment’s record in the searching light of Parliament. His sycophantic admirers speak of his courage in trusting himself to a vote of the people. Stich a descrip- tion hardly applies to an attempt to steal an election by gagging Parlia~ ment and blin‘dfolding the electors. They are not to be permitted to see any of the details of the Government’s re- cord except. those which the Govern- ment is ready .to reveal. For months the Canadian people have been told that there must be no critic- ism of the Governments war effort, as everything would be discussed at length when Parliament sat. Everything, they were assured, would be thrown open to inspection at that time, and then was the proper time for intelligent critic- ism if it Were deserved. But what the King Government has actUalIy-done is many times worse than the mere limiting of parliamentary dis- cussion. It has eliminated such dis- cussion altogether by the dissolution of Parliament. (From Toronto Telegram) If the King Government had allowed Parliament to sit and had attempted to apply the gag by limiting discussion of the various affairs connected with the prosecution of the war, it would have been rightly subjected to strong criticism. The indignation of the Can- adian people would have been made known in no uncertain terms.

Jack Thompson and Billy Richard in red and black military uniforms, with high gold hats, performed a fast duo tap dance, and J‘ackr'I‘hompson gave A special feature of the evening was a floor show ‘by pupils of Mr. Henry Bergeron, who delighted the gathering with sure, light, and clear tap-dancing routines. “The ‘Sailor’s Hornpipe” in tap rhythm was presented by a group of five charming little ladies, Betty Giroux, Ruth Irving, Myrna Vaillant, Cecile 'Patrie, and Irene Durbois, who donned 'blue and white sailor costumes for the presentation, and sweet little Miss Doreen Brunette, in a lovely frock of pale blue organza, performed a solo tap routine. Although the dance at the Riverside Pavilion on Tuesday evening, under the auspices of the 'I'immins Welfare Com- mittee, was not as well attended as the occasion merited, the event was one of the merriest to have been held here for some time, and was thoroughly en- joyed 'by all.

TIME. ONTARIO (‘ANADIANS MAKE MUSIC Toronto Telegramzâ€"The fellow whb can keep his ieet. on the ground seldom walks around with his head in the clouds. " As to the possibility that the rest of the world will decide to abandon gold as a monetary basis. this authority says that agreement is all but unanimous that the danger is too remote for serious Ioonsideration, and winds up with the following: “Despite the fact' that any kind of pmphecy is risky, and that more than one 'irnpossibility' has be- come a fact in recent years, the guess is hazarded that gold will continue to hold its historic and traditional place as the world's standard measure of valueâ€" and if the price changes, it will move not down, but up." As to what chance there is that the price W111 eventually fall below $35, that can only happen if United States should arbitrarily cease to buy all of- fered at the price. and the best reason for doubting any such step is that ad- mittedly harmful repercussions would far outweigh any imagined advantages that might be suggested. Not only the international. but the national economy would suffer tremendous dislocation and shock. ' It is also shown ”that only 201.1 mil- Ilion ounces of new gold was produced lin the world during the six-year period ' 1934-39, inclusive, so that 108.2 million ounces necessai‘ily came from accumu- lated stocks that at the end of 1933 lwexe in foreign countries in the hands E‘of banks or individuals. The value of merchandise (gold and silver excluded) imported into and ex- ported from United States in the last six years shows an excess of exports over imports of about $2,500,000.000, and in balance United States accepted im- ports of gold abullion to that value. The remainder, about $300,000,000, is ac- counted for by so-called “capital flow‘fl the general motive behind which is security and safety. Em‘braced in the latter is Capital withdrawn from abroad by US. citizens and funds sent to US. for safe-keeping by foreigners. Except in such ways, the $35-an-ounce price was not a factor in the flow‘of gold to United States. Fundamentally, the flow of gold to United States is caused by two principal factors: (1) Because people think that wealth in the form of gold, or stocks, or bonds, or other pieces of paper, is more secure there than elsewhere; and (2) because the United States has for ex- change physical ‘assets that people in foreign countries consider more valu- able to them, at the moment, than gold. And as a corollary, people in United States regard the gold as more valuable to them than foreign goods of any kind Higher price for gold stimulated pro- duction, and accounts for a substantial part of the difference between 130.8 million ounces mined in 1928-33 and the 201.1 million ounces mined in the six years that followed. United States also had to trade more products or manu- factured goods for each ounce of gold than it would have had to trade if the price had not been raised. In addition to entire production of gold for those six years, presumably worth $7,040,000.000, United States ab- sorbed foreign stocks worth $3,790,000,- 000. These two \lots, with gold reserve at the end of 1933, constitute the ac- cumulation now lying idle in the vaults at Fort Knox and elsewhere. Between 1933 and 1938 United States increased its reserve from about one- third of the world’s total monetary supply to nearly three-fifths. In ounces, acquisition was 221.3 million ounces, an increase of 114' per cent. In January, 1940, total had reached 503.0 million ounces, or increase of 309.3 per cent. (From The Globe and Mail) Mining and Metallurgy, the official org-an of American Institute of‘ Mining Engineers, in the February number carries an interesting article upon the gold situation, under the caption “Gold- en Elephant.” Realizing that specula- tion is rife as to the ultimate fate of the treasure, the matter is reviewed on the basis of ounces, thereby eliminating the factor of the raise of 3335 an ounce.
