President Segsworth told the meet- ing that on June 15, company will start deepening the shaft an addit- ional 450 feet below the 975 level. pre,- sent bottom horizon. 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 an- nual report, Mr. Segswort'h 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 the an- 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 im the market and since then the con- 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 ONE. bonds; 11.8 per cent in Provincial Government bonds; 5.1 per cent in- dustrial bonds; 29 per cent in mining stocks and 6.2 per cent in industrial stocks.

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

The industry will now have two firm friends in the highest place in the Bri- tish Empire. It would be idle to spe- 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 see- 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, flrm in the belief that no special event of the Royal tour will have more far- 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 nickel-copper mine in the whole world, producer of nine other different metals-gold, silver, platinum, selenium. tellurium, pallad- ium, rhodium. iridium and ruthenium- largest enterprise of its kind in the Do- minion. employing 17,282 people in all and 10,147 in min'e and smelting works, with over a billion dollars in gross pro- duction and close to $275,000,000 in dividends to its credit already, and with long life still ahead. tProm Globe and Main The visit of Their Mama" King George VI and queen Elizabeth to the great Prood Mine of International Nickel Co., at Copper Cliff, Ont.. will be taken everywhere as one more out- standing proof of the interest taken by Their Majestla in those things that really matter during this wonderful trlumphnl tour ot the Dominion.

The applause was almost continuous and its sincerity impressed the listener thousands of 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 re- fleeted 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 pro- 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. We use the word common not in a disparaging sense but to differentiate them from Cabinet Ministers, Privy Councillors and privileged individuals who enjoyed a preferential position. The demonstration made by the Can.. adian people at all the little jumping off places was simply magnificent.

At present there is a special ,tax of $500 on all chain stores, this ,having been increased from $200. The ,notice of motion is with the idea of re- turning to the original tax of $200. The advocates of the decrease say that pne of the big chain stores bought a lot and intended to put up a modern new building, but in view of the $500 tax they decided to build instead at Bour- Jamaque, near Val d'Or. On the other hand there is serious opposition to tho ,idea of reducing the license fee from its present figure ot $500.
