"I am a Canadian first and mining man after, It won‘t do me any good to .. make more â€"money. If s;:I do T‘ll have to go on relief, because the government will take all my money out of me in income tax. Twenty years ago I said the surface had onl# been. scratched up North and they laughed at me.

Mydro Helps With Power lines of the Ontario Hydro being gradually pushed into more reéemote ore areas, there was bound to be a boom in mining within the next few months, Mr. Hammell predicted.

Work for Al "‘A few more intelligent government moves along the same lines, and we can really start to go to town in the North," Mr. Hammell went on. "With the resources this country has in its mines and other flields, there shouldn‘t be a man in Canada out of work. There woan‘t be, either, if politicians follow up such action as this with others deâ€" signed to help development. These fellows at Ottawa are looking alive now to the great future of our mines and what that means to the Dominion.

Mining resources of Northern Onâ€" tario are so vast and represent so much new wealth and business to Canada that few realized what they could mean to national prosperity, he said. "Well," he added, "governments are beginning to realize it and to recognize it in their administration. That‘s one of the most hopeful signs of the year."

Aside from the straight financial angle, Mr. Hammell felt the concession from Oltawa indicated a new psychoâ€" logical approuch to encouragement of mining and business generally.

From the slow motion pictures we would say that it must have been the floor. Arrived to Matachewan on the morning of the twelfth and as it rainâ€" ed cats and dogs there for two days, I had the Indian chief take some of the wrinkles out of my canoe. The rest also took some of the wrinkles out of my back, although I did not get a great deal of it, I helped to repair all punctures with amberoid. The log Jams and willows just about ruined the canoe, but it is hunky dory again. But, believe me, I did not take it lyihg down, either. Every time I went to bed I would fairly massacre them until I forgot the sprayer at one end of a portage or another. May just as well have been both ends for that matter, as they had a decided advanâ€" tage on their side from then on.

There was a little matter of willows during that ten or fifteen miles. When I was not fighting a log jam I was trying to shove and pull my way through the willows. The Whitefish River gets so small that the jolly old birch bark canoe would have been somewhere up in that creek yet, if it had been half an inch wider. People here ask me why didn‘t I portage instead of going through all this. Well, you may rest assured I did. Plenty. The maps that I am using are very good and you can‘t very well go wronz witih them, although I managed> to once, but got back on the trail again. Waited for days and days to come to greenstone and granite as advertised on the map, but when I did get there, it was covered with wet musket anyâ€" way. that is where the trouble started. It is a log jam from there to Whitefish Lake, a distance cof roughly twelve to fifteen miles. It took me about five days to cover that distance. It was more walking than canoeing. Had to go over log jams. had to go under them. Had to go around them and had to portage them. Had to cut some out and had to make new portages for them. And did all sorts of flies have their fun during this period. It was a glorious feast for them for a solid week in that tiny creek in the muskeg and willows.

Indian Woman Jumped in Front of Train at Kirkland Having gathered momentum, the British armament programme is now in full swing. In the House recently Sir John Simon Chancellor of the Excheâ€" quer said that Britain‘s expenditure on arms this year would be $3,416,000,000. Britain today is turning out as many aeroplanes as Germany; will soon be turning out more. The British navy is still the most powerful battle fleet on the seas. Total expenditure on weapons of war this year, Sir John said, would be about $7,000,000,000. Pictured as an elderly, benevolent and befuddled old gentleman by the Nazis, Premier Chamberlain is fast emerging from the lethargic attitude he was supposed to have entertained. That muchâ€"talkedâ€"of unmbrella has passed the stage of being a sword. It rapidly is developing into a huge club to be wielded in the interest of peace. It may readily beâ€" seen that Mr.. Hepburn is not a beli¢ever in underâ€" statement. It might be well recall one of ‘his many, many uterances peoâ€" garding relief at this time. It may be recalled that his reply when askâ€" ed why cash relief was not given dirâ€" ectly to the recipient, was the old one about the recipient spending the monâ€" ey foolishly and not upen necessities. Perhaps the federal government feels the same way about the provinces. Premier Hepburn‘s feud with Prime Minister Mackenzie King was amusing for a time. Then it became rather silly. When the Ontario Leader inâ€" imated he would refuse to allow algvam,age of federal grants for relief municipalitucs in sthis province to take work projects, it began to look s though the foud would have dangerâ€" ous repercussions, It was carrying a spite a little too far to inflict it upâ€" on the general public, most people thought.
