A urique situmation has developed whereby a used car has a greater vaius tnan the new car. Greedâ€"puyers puichase a new car, supposedly for their own use, drive it around the kock ana then place it on the marâ€" ket as a used car. The shortage of cars and ithe stillâ€" existent seiler‘s market permiis them to sell the "used" car at a price generally about four to five hundred in excess of the Cost price of the new car. The man who must have a car for his business must either suffer this racketeering or do without. There is no tndication at the present time that consideration is being given to the reimposition ~of ~â€"price ceilings on used cars. The situation must, apâ€" parently, right itself. It is mpossible to wipe out the racketeers, it is only possitas to maintain peak producticon and bring on the peacetime competâ€" itive buyer‘s market. The dollar bill is still a weak med-[ ium of exchange n the buying mar-| ket today.

Cost of bread may goâ€"up as much as three cents per loaf* thus handing this increased cost @rectly to the consumer. ment insurance, During the month of June 21,365 claims were registered as compared with 27,603 in May and 30, 646 in June of theprevicus year.

EVERY THURSDAY Canada Numerous Markets For wfit Asbestos May Reâ€"Open Lsi Deloro Township Mines t# Would Prove Valuable Adâ€" dition To Porcupine Eimnâ€" ployment Opprtunities: claims, which are situated in Delora Township, contain quantlites of Asbesâ€" tos and if these claims are worked A new mining possibility in the form of asbestos is once more being conâ€" sidered by mining speculators. Sever_al The average veins on 'f_h”,é properties run from one to two and a half inches in the mear future, a new and profitâ€" able industry will be created in the Porcupine. in wid‘h, and the greater part of the asbestCos is highâ€"grade. Followng a period of work cn the claims in 1917, pits, which uncovered an amount of the mineral, resulted and the showâ€" ings below the surface level of the pit were better than these : at the top There are at least three darge vein bodies on the claims and there are inâ€" nitmerable +smaller veins present. bu;*i‘ng the late Fall of 1916 and the Spitng and Summer of 1917 the Sladeâ€" Fobes GCompany, of Montreal obtained an option on the Roy Campsall Claims in Delora. Men were employed by the Company and work was carried on dufing that period. In March 1917, one ton of asbestos was shipped to Cinâ€" cinatti for experiments in spinning. The asbestos was worth $600. At the time of th‘s shipment censideration of the erection of a Mill was made. Hand cobbed crude asbestos was all that was shipped during this period. Operations were discontinued in the spring and work was resumed in the late sumâ€" mer. About 40 tons of milling ore was sl-lipped at that tme, to the Sladeâ€" Fcrbes Mill in Quebec. Following this shipment there was no further excaâ€" halted. Asbestos was selling at $1100 per ton in February of 1917. In May of the same yvear some of the asbestos mined by the Sladeâ€"Forbes Company sold mt $1800 per ton. The demand for the mineral and the inflation due to the war held the prices quite high. Today No. 1 Crude Asbestos Ore sells at anyâ€" thing from $650.00 to $750.00 per ton. ion for asbestos and operations were entries in the POoI guidance of Miss Misses Barbara Ann Enrgtht and Doreen Brunette, daughter of Timmins Mayor, the two youngest es in the Porcupine Advance‘s Subscription cam paign, shown above entering the contest under the ance of Miss Margaret Morris, Campaign Assist ant.

Asbestos is used for a number of purposes. There is Spinning or Textile Fibre, Shingle Fibre, Paper Fibre, Waste, Stuco, or Plaster, and Refuse or Shorts, and all of these groups are of value â€" from $233.00 to $1450 per ton.. Markets for the mineral â€"are very numercus and large Companies in the U. S. A. will purchase practrcally all of the quality asbestos produced. Comâ€" panies in Canada, at present, are interested ..in .the development of Asbestos providing the quality is good. L. F. Roy, 538 Maple St. N., and W. P. Campsall. Porcupine, are the ownâ€" ers of the claims which were under option to the. Sladeâ€"Forbes .Company. These two men were the {irst prosâ€" pectors to stake asbestos: claims in the Porcurine Mining Division, and they did so in There is andther claim containing asbestos â€"inâ€"the same area and this property was owned by the late Mr. Digby, Trenton. ~â€"The active producing development of the asbestos mines would mean the additicn of a very important industry to this Cistrict. The uses of the minâ€" eral speak for themselves and the most important advantage of a new, profitable industry such as this would be the employment of from 70 to 80 men throughout the year.

OUTSTANDING The choice of a new Studebaker car, or the cash equivalent, ofered to the winner of the first prize, is recog; nized as being the most generous aâ€" ward which it is possible to make, 'The All Expense Air Trip to Mexico, !has a strong appeal to one and all. \It has been truly said that Mexico is . one of the most interesting of holidayv spots; it‘s gaiety, picturesque seener; \ and subâ€"tropical climate renders _ H |partlcularly desirable to every ons far and wide.
