This work should be finished about the end of August. Asked if there had been any drilling done below the 975 level, on which drifting on the main zone had been disappointing, as reported in the anâ€" nual report, Mr. Segsworth replied that ‘three holes had been completed and another was now drilling. Two of the completed holes were blank and the other, while not cutting ore, returned some interesting values. It was also explained that only between 40 and 50 acres of the 320 acre property had been intensively explored, while there were five whole claims on which nothing had so far been done. While the balance sheet in thc anâ€" nual report showed that market prices of investments as at March 31,1939, were a little below the cost price, it was stated that was a particularly bad day on the market and since then the conâ€" dition has ‘been reversed. That is, market price is somewhat above cost price. Of the $356,764 in stocks and bonds carried in the balance sheet, 47 per cent was in Dominion and C.NR. bonds; 11.8 per cent in Provincial Government bonds; 5.1 per cent inâ€" dustrial bonds; 29 per cent in mining stocks and 6.2 per cent in industrial stocks.

May production was $95,516 from 5,713 tons for average recovery of $16.71. Low figure for April was explained by Mr. Segsworth as being due to part of the ball mill being defective and plant was shut down for five days while the part was being replaced.

Loans Only Exceeded by Toronto Montreal and Winnipeg By mining men it will be welcomed as a deeply appreciated gesture, exemâ€" plifying the remarkable understanding shown by the royal couple in the imâ€" portance of the industry that offers the greatest hope for the immediate future. The industry will now have two firm friends in the highest place in the Briâ€" tish Empire. It would be idle to speâ€" culate upon the eventual result of this more intimate Royal knowledge of the greatness of the industry, but that it will be far reaching goes without saying. When Their Majesties passed through Toronto, this department of The Globe and Mail expressed regret that they were to be given no opportunity of seeâ€" ing for themselves the wonderful mines of this Province. The omission has been happily remedied and in a most happy way, by order of King George himself, and we therefore give thanks to any who may have suggested and engineered the unscheduled visit, firm in the belief that no special event of the Royal tour will have more farâ€" reaching effect. The King and his lovely Queen are now of us indeed. It was entirely appropriate that the Royal underground visit should have been to the greatest nickelâ€"copper mine in the whole world, producer of nine other different â€" metalsâ€"gold, silver, platinum, selenium, tellurium, palladâ€" ium, rhodium, iridium and rutheniumâ€" largest enterprise of its kind in the Doâ€" minion. employing 17,282 people in all and 10,147 in mine and smelting works, with over a billion dollars in gross proâ€" duction and close to $275,000,000 in dividends to its credit already, and with long life still ahead. (From CGilobe and Mail) The visit of Their Majesties King CGreorge VI and Queen Elizabeth to the great FProod Mine of International Nickel Co., at Copper Cliff, Ont., will be taken everywhere as one more outâ€" standing proof of the interest taken by Their Majesties in those things that really matter during this wonderful triumphal tour of the Dominion.

The applause was almost continuous and its sincerity impressed the listener thousands Oof miles away from the scene of the reception. The singing of the national anthem did not compare with the performance of the Mendelssohn Choir, but while it may have been occasionally out of tune it was so joyous and hearty that it reâ€" flected the heart of democracy. And as usual, the Queen whose charm has captivated the hearts of everybody was equal to the occasion. When a crying baby, who had been hauled out of his humble crib at an early hour in order that his parents might travel miles to see the royal couple disturbed the proâ€" ceedings, the Queen stepped down from the platform and took the little Briton in her arms to comfort him. The most important event which has taken place in Canada since the Great War is the visit of His Majesty George VI and his gracious consort Queen Elizabeth. God Save the King and God Bless Queen Elizabeth is the since prayer of the Canadian people.
