Commit Pellizzari For Trial: Charge he Tried To Wound With Firearm Antonio Pellizzari was committed for trial before a judge and jury after a preliminary hearing before Magistrate Atkinson in police court on Tuesday afternoon. The charge against Pellizâ€" zari and on which he elected trial beâ€" fore a higher court was that he shot at Vergina Pressaccos, of 360 Cedar Street, south, with intent to maim or wound him. Case to Go Before Judge and Jury. Neighbour Says Pelâ€" lizzari Shot at Him Twice for No Reason on Hallowe‘en. Could Have Killed Him Easily Had He So Desired Says Magistrate, P Pressaccos told the court that on October 31, Hallowe‘en, he drove a truck into a lane near Pellizzari‘s home. It got stuck and he and his uncle, Anâ€" tolio Giovannelli, were making an effort to free the vehicle from the clinging mire. Suddenly, he looked up and saw Pelâ€" lizzari pointing a gun at him. He called to him to put down the rnun but was given no reply. He and his uncle called many times Bbut the accused continued to point the gun in their direction and made no reply. Then he fired the gun. He ducked, Pressaccos told the court, and the shot went into the side of the truck. He ran. behind a small building and Pellizzari shot again. The shot hit the truck and a nearby tree and post. The before Magistrate Atâ€" kinson on Tuesday was a preliminary enquiry. ~Ats conclusion the Magisâ€" trate commented that it looked more like criminal negligence on Pellizzari‘s part rather than a deliberate effort to maim Pressaccos but that he was willâ€" ing to let the l?;ghcr court decide that issue. f The cotnplainant was of .the opinion that Pellizzart had a shotâ€"gun. He said that he fired from a distance of 30 to 35 feet. The, next day Pellizzari came to him and: .Sald "Don‘t do bad to me and put m€ in jail." Pressaccos denied that there was any trouble between him and Pellizzari. He said that he stayed at the accused‘s home for two years and during that time had mo trouble with him.

GENERAL DRY BATTERIES OF CANADA LIMITED, TORONTO THE FEELING 1§ GENER AL elecâ€" Canadian Mining Industry Booming at Present Time The stimulated Canadian mining inâ€" dustry is expected this year to produce approximately $450,000,000 in new wealth. The output of the gold and baszs metals mines is now at levels never before reached and gold proâ€" duction alone will approximate $180,â€" 600,000. Interesting and Informative Review Given by Annual Special Number. The significance of Canadian metal output with the German War raging cannot be overstressed. Gold, nickel, copper, lead, zinc, silver and platinum metals are pouring out of the mills and refineries of this country in a flooding stream at a time when metals are the lifeblood of our armies. Oil production is at an all time high. Coal output is increasint. . Asbestos and aluminum tonnages are on the upturn. The outlook for the mining industry was never better. Gold is now bringing the producers $38.50 an ounce and the output in 1940 should exceed $200,000,â€" 000. There are ten times as many gold mills as there were in 1914 and gold is now recognized as a prime war munâ€" ition. The Canadian government has wisely refused to penalize the gold producers and has offered every enâ€" couragement to swell the yvolume of the vital metal which has won wars before and will do so again. In 1914 Canadian output was only 773,178 ounces; today it is at the rate of 5,000,000 ounces anâ€" nually. The value of an ounce of gold has nearly doubled in the interim. Productive capacity of our base metals, as compared with 1914 is indiâ€" cated in the following tabulation: 1938 1914 Copper, tons . _ Nickel, tons ..................105,286 22,7059 Lead; tons‘..::.:.s........ _ 209464 18,168 FZineâ€" tons ie esc A90,. 103 Copper, tons ............. .400 â€" 3 6,G0 1 Nickel, tons ... z... â€"22,709 Lead, tons ... inss 2090 404 10 ;1O8 Zinc, tons o .190,753 3,623 Canada leads the world in nickel, platinum and radium production and is rapidly attaining second place in gold. It is amongst the world leaders in the output of lead, zinc, copper and silver. It has added to its list in recent years radium, selenium, cadmium, uraâ€" nium, tellurium, fridium and rhodium. Canadian metallurgical and reducâ€" tion processes are the most advanced in the world. Producers of metals and minerals in the Dominion have successâ€" fully competed in the world market throughout the depression and have resord2ad the remarkable performance of increasing volume and value of mine cutput in a time of unparalleled financilal stress. The creation of nearly half a billion dollars of new wealth annually has a natural reaction on the national econâ€" omy. There are at this time some 112,000 pecple directly engaged in mining in ‘Canada, with an annual payroll in excess of $140,000 000. As an instance of the buying power creaâ€" ted by this outpourinz of new money it is computed that the gold camp of Kirkland â€" Lake spends _ $1,100,000 monthly, mainly in the southern and eastern areas of the country. The rise of mining to a place of paramount importance has created something like a revolution in the Dominion‘s â€" manufacturing industry. There are now produced in Canada nearly 90 per cent of the machines and supplies required for the winning of metals where a few years ago an equiâ€" valent percentage was imported. In the November 9th issue of The Northern Miner a special annual reâ€" view of the Dominion‘s mineral indusâ€" try is presented. IN 136 pages there are provided in articles, tables and picâ€" tures a comprehensive outline of the essential facts. Articles deal with gold, base metals, war minerals, currencies, mine wages, the buying power of the industry,. and other allied subjects. The whole presents a stimulating picture of present activity and expanding outâ€" look. Huntsville Forester:â€"Seasickness and other forms of nausea may be cured with oxygen treatments. Thirty Years Ago the North Was Virtually Unknown Cobalt and Sudbury Were the Only Big Finds. The following interesting articles is from the annuai number of The Norâ€" thetn Miner:â€" Thirty Years Ago ‘Through the courtesy of Hon Paul Leduc, Ontario Minister of Mines, The Northern Miner has seen a map of Canada, published in 1908, issued by the Department of the Interior at Otâ€" tawa. This map is especially of interâ€" est at this time for the reason that it was issued for the purpose of indicatâ€" ing the location of Canadian mineral deposits. A strikim: feature is a red line drawn right across the Dominion marked "Country north of this line virtually unprospected, except along some of the principal river." This red line extended from southern Labrador, across Northwestern Quebec and Northern Ontario, turned a good distance south on the prairies and then bore off up into ‘the Yukon. In Onâ€" tario it extended south of the Grand Trunk Pacific line until it reached the north shore of Lake Nipigon. The gold camps of the North were unknown; there was no Timmins, Schumacher, Kirkland Lake, Rouyn, or Little Long Lac area thirtyâ€"one years ago. The principal gold areas were in Nova scotia, at Lake of the Woods in Onâ€" tario and in the Atlin, Kluane and Klondyke areas. In southern British Columbia and in the Cariboo area of that province placser streams were notâ€" ed, with but little lode mining indicatâ€" ed. There was not a single metal mine in Manitcba. They Knew of Atikokan Oddly enough, in the of recent developments, the Atikokan iron field is indicated on the map, as well as anâ€" other iron field to the south of Atikoâ€" kan, marked "Hunter Island" and not now heard of. But the prospectors for iron never found the real deposit until 1937 and it is now being developed. The Thunder Bay silver district was indicatâ€" ed as was Cobalt and Gowganda. Gold Fields That Failed The gold fields of Nova Scotia, of Beauce in Quebec and of Lake of the Woods in Ontario never proved to be the success the map maker suggested. In recent years a determined effort has been made in the same Ontario and Nova Scotia areas, without very subâ€" stantial results. It has been hoped that modern prospecting, mining and milling methods, together with the higher price for !zold, would wring proâ€" fit out of former failures but the naâ€" ture of the deposits has worked against this result. The Klondyke placer fields are still being worked after thirty years, with an annual output of about $2,000,000, but the Cariboo placers have long since lost their importance, although there is still some output. â€" However, the long cherished dream of lode minâ€" ing in this region has materialized handsomely in recent years. There is now no mention of the Kluane gold area scuthwest of Klondyke, although it was r@â€"arded as important by the map makers of 1908. Placer Was King in West The British Columbia section of the map shows extensive placer mining on the Fraser River, a long departed inâ€" dustry. There was no gold mining on Vancouver Island where the Zeballos field is now flourishing. Silver was shown in the Slocan area,. also in Thunder Bay. Lead and zinc. were also mined in the Slocan but=â€"there was little accent on copper, only a few scattered operations being shown in British Columbia. In Ontario some cepper activity was shown on the north shore of Lake Superior and on Michipiâ€" coten Island. The copperâ€"nickel deâ€" posits of Copper Cliff were marked and the Worthington operations of Mond Nickel were indicated. It is noted that the Parry Sound area was getting atâ€" tention for copper and this field is sttain being prospected at this writâ€" ing. In Quebec the metal was being mined in the southern townships ajong the St. Lawrence. â€" Periodic attempts have since been made to find commerâ€" cial deposits there without success. Little Known of Far North Beyond the line north of which the territory was virtually "unprospected," the only mineral discoveries known in 1908 were the lignite of Abitibi Ruiver area, the tar sands of the Athabaska River, the copper deposits on the Copâ€" permine River, reported by Hearne over a century previously on his historic trip to the Arctic seas for the Hudson‘s Bay Company. In what is now Northâ€" ermn Quebec there were only three iron deposits marked and these were inacâ€" cessible then as they are today. On the coast of Hudson‘s Bay there were four>â€" iron showings. Incidentally, Northwestern Quebec was largely in the Northwest Territories in 1908. There was in 1908 no suspicion of the radium and silver of Great Bear Lake, the cotper on the same lake, the gold of the Yellowknife and Lake Athabaska, the oil of Fort Norman, the lead and zinc at Great Slave Lake. About the only markings on the map north of latitud> 54 were rivers, lakes and Hudson‘s Bay posts, except in Briâ€" tish Columbia where mining and prosâ€" pecting had been carried to latitude 65 deitrees north. Manitoba and Saskatâ€" chewan were absolutely barren of inâ€" dications of metals. In the prairie provinces subsequent pros pectin g brought in the great Flin Flon copperâ€" zinc property, Sherritt Gordon, of the same type: as well as a half dozen gold mines in the central section of Maniâ€" toba. The Missing Gold Link The long link between the east and the west and which may be designated at present as the midâ€"west mining areas could show little in the way of THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO metallic mining in 1908. Today this is cne of the important gold producirl; areas> in Canalda. A recent survey shows that where a few ounces of gold were reported annually in this region around 1908 there are now 37 mines in production with a value of $37,174,M16 for metalliecs secured in 1938. Last year the region‘s mints paid $7,869,102 in dividends. In Western Ontario a‘one at the present date the Howey, Little Long Lac, Central Patricia, Norâ€" thern Empire, Jâ€"M Consolidated, St. Anthony, Pickle Crow, McKenzie Red Lake, Wendigo, Leitch, Sturgeon River Gold, Bankfield, Gold Eagle, Sand River, Hard Rock, Tombill, MacLeodâ€" Cockshutt, Sachigo River, Madsen, Straw Lake, Hasaga, Uchi, Kenric‘*, Magnet, Berens River and other proâ€" perties are productive, with an estiâ€" mated cutput of $8,700,0060 in gold in the first six months of 1939. In view of the recent oil developâ€" ments in Alberta it is notable that on the 1908 map there was not a single inâ€" dication of cil in the west. The coal and â€"gas areas are plotted but if the presence of oil was suspected no sucâ€" cessful effort had been made to bring in wells. Minerals Then and Now In the list of minerals in the legend of the map there are included, gold, platinum, silver, lead, zinc, antimony, arsenic, coal, peat, petroleum, natural gas, iron, ochre, nickel, cobalt, manâ€" ganese, copper, chromium, apatite, gypsiim, asbestos, mica, salt, graphite, slate, grindstones, corundum and ceâ€" ment. On this list are a numker of minerals which have not been successâ€" fully mined in the interim from 1908 to the present day. * Compare the 1908 late list with that of 1938 which includes antimony, arâ€" senic, birsmuth, cadmium, cobalt, copâ€" per, gold, lead molybdenite, palladium, rhodium, iridium, platinum, radium, selenium, silver, tellurium, titanium ore, coal, natural zas, peat. petroleum. asâ€" testos, diatomite, feldspar, fluorspar, graphite, grindstones, gypsum, iron oxides, magnesite, mica, nepheline syeâ€" nite, phosphate, quartz, salt, silica, soapstone, sodium carbonate, sulphur and talc, as well as clays, cement, lime, geravel and stone. Since the map has been published the mining frontiers of Canada have been advanced far into the north. Theline beyond which the country is "virtually unprospected" has been extended in: a wideâ€"sweep northwestward to the Arctic Ocean. There remains still a deep segment covering the "Barren Lands" of the Northwest Territories and anâ€" other in the east of northwestern Queâ€" bes and in Labrador which is little known. But the deepened southern fringe has become extremely important in the economic life of the Dominion through its rapidly increased mineral production which in 1938 was valued at $444,4932,222, compared with $85,557,0C0 in 1908 when the reference map was published.

Allaying Dust in British Columbia Mines at Present PFully aware of its importance in the prevention of silicosis, mine operators in British Columbia are aggressively attacking the problem of prevention and elimination of dust in their mines, accordiry: to D. A. MacLeod of the Workmen‘s Compensation Board, Vanâ€" couver. . Before the Workmen‘s Comâ€" pensation Act Amendment Act was passed late in 1936, he states, most of the operators were already keenly inâ€" terested in the prevention of silicosis. This interest has been intensified at all the mines, and measures have been adopted to decrease the amount of dust in the mine atmosphere. Several operâ€" ators have spent a large amount of time and money in bettering these zonâ€" ditions, and have met with decided success, Practically all others are adopting the known methods of preâ€" vention, suppression, and elimination of dust that apply to their particular mines. In his papeor on dust in British Columbia mines appearing in the Ocâ€" tober issue of the Bulletin, Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Mr. MacLeod advises that dust samplâ€" ingâ€"absolutely necessary to determine the effectiveness of any measure of dust controlâ€"is prasticed in at least five of the mines and that several others are contemplating the purchase of the necessary apparatus. Increased vertiâ€" lation, the installation of atomizers, or water blasts, the thorough wetting of broken rock, the installation of hoods with fan and ventilation pipe in crushâ€" plants are good exampies of the determined efforts being made by operâ€" ators. Ventilation is described in the paper as being unquestionably one of the most effective means Oof. eliminating dust from underground workings.

Preâ€" ventive measures that should be given special consideration by operators are set forth. The following is from the annual number of The Northern Miner:â€" "The payroll of the town of Timâ€" mins, Ont., from the mines only, amounts to $41,644 daily. The payroll for the year from this source alone, totals $15,000,000 annually. "In this, the largest gold camp in Canada, there are 27,5300 citizens. The number does not include the ring of other towns, such as South Porcupine and Schumacher, which have grown up around the central nucleus. The popuâ€" lati.on of the whole area is approximateâ€" ly 40,C00 pesople. "An index of the prosperity of a community is the number of motor vehicles. In Timmins alone there are 4,000 passenker cars and 2,000 commerâ€" cial vehicles. The ratio is one for each 4.6 of population. In other words, every soul in the community could be accommoda‘ted in a motor vehicle at one time.
