No Other Tea as Good u ■i n CANADIAN MINING MADE NOTABLE ADVANCE IN 1926 TEA 704 A W*JLle BY SOPHIE KERR. i) “Mr. Andrew Thorne," said Mr. Grayson with an ironic accent, “con­ sidered such bequests weakly senti­ mental. He maintained that unearned money hurt rather than helped those who received it.” “He did!" cried Anne. “I wonder if he wanted to hurt me, then!” It was a hideous idea, but remem­ bering the lean, sardonic hardness of the portrait in the drawing-room, she felt a sudden conviction that she was right. Mr. Grayson had not answered her exclamation. He was talking on about the estate, There must be adjust­ ments, conferences, meetings which Anne must attend, inspections of • books and audits, endless papers to be PART IV. “ Not by farthest reach of fancy could Anne place Louis in the new existence opening before her. Louis in this house, waited on by Bowen! Louis in that soft-cushioned car. Louis’ hands white and soft and flabby like Roy Torrance’s. Louis in that dining room, looking at her across a silver bowl of hothouse roses! No—such a vision was so wild as to be ludicrous. Next morning Mr. Fink and Mr. Grayson called. It was pleasant to see Mr. Fink again; in all this strange­ ness lie seemed like an old friend. Only now he was subdued, a deferen­ tial satellite for Mr. Grayson, who was very much in command of the meeting. An imposing person, Mr. Grayson, almost a personage. He unbent some­ what in his greeting to Anne. “I trust you passed a restful night,” he said. “With nothing to disturb you.” Anne went to the thing uppermost in her mind: “Mrs. Torrance made a scene and said I was probably an im­ postor, but her son hushed her up. Mr. Grayson, tell me what it’s all about. Why is she here? Why does she stay Has she any real claim on me or my great-uncle?” “Mrs. Torrance has no claim on you whatsoever. She is the stepdaughter of Mr. Andrew Thorne’s deceased wife’s sister. Mrs. Thorne, having no children of her own, was interested in the young girl and, after her un­ fortunate marriage to the man Tor­ rance, assisted her occasionally. When Mrs. Thorne became an invalid, as she was for some time before her death, eighteen years ago, Mrs. Torrance and her child came here to live. After Mrs. Thorne died she remained as housekeeper', liberally paid. The boy developed traits of irresponsibility and rice resembling his father, and Mr. Thorne became very prejudiced against him and forbade him the! house. Since Mr, Thorne’s death Mrs. I Torrance has chosen to consider her-! self an aggrieved person, vU11vcuuuxS. that Mr. Thorne promised to provide; for her in his will. There is nothing' to prove that Mr. Thorne made any such promise; in fact, there is proof to the exact contrary.” “He didn’t leave her anything at all?” “Nothing.” “And she hadn’t saved anything?” Mr. Grayson regarded Anne with approval. This was a sensible young woman who seemed capable of follow­ ing a distinct line of thought. “No; whatever she has earned she has spent on her son, who is, unfortunately, a ... bad 1-ot. And now, Miss Thorne, if you are ready I want to take up the provisions of your great-uncle’s will with you, and acquaint you with the extent of the estate.” Mr. Fink hastened to open a bulky brief case, producedpapers, documents, long envelopes bulging and tied, fold-, ers. He handed Anne a good-sized, printed pamphlet. “There is the will.” j “The will! I thought wills wdre’ written.” j “The original is written. But it is' . - . „ , . , , customary in an estate of this size toj have printed copies made,” explained Mr. Grayson patiently. “He left nothing to any charity—no churches, no hospitals, no homes, no­ thing,” she commented. The mineral industry of Canada is making notable advances and during 1926 made a very gratifying contri­ bution to the general prosperity of tho country. An estimate made by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics places the value of the mineral production for 1926 at $242,886,00-0. This is more than seven per cent, greater- than the tctal production for 1925, which am­ ounted to $226,583, 333. A few outstanding features that have had a bearing on the increase in production and that indicate further increases in the future are worthy of note. There was a marked1 increase in the production of lead, zine, and copper. British Columbia contributes most abundantly of these minerals. A great proportion of the lead- and zinc comes from the Sullivan mine in the south­ eastern part of the province. Exten­ sions have been made recently in the plants for the treatment of the Sulli­ van ore and the lead and zinc ores of other mining camps of the province. These account for the increase in pro-- duction. Ore reserves have been prov­ ed to be very great, and1 it is expected that a heavy production will continue for many years. Activity In Copper. The copper deposits of Allenby mountain near Princeton have at last come into successful exploitation and the concentrator with a capacity of 2,060 tons a day has been in full op­ eration. The two other large mines of the province, at Britannia and at pecting ground is largo, interest is keen, and intensive exploration will be continued. The possibilities of this part of the province are regarded as of great promise, In addition-to cop­ per there will be a production of zinc, and gold is an important constituent , of some of the ores, ! A largo ore body that bears great promise for the future is the Finflon i body of copper-zine sulphides of the Pas mining district, Manitoba. An ex­ perimental plant is being erected' on the property at heavy cost to ascer­ tain the best methods of treating’ the ores and it seems almost certain that in time a big mining and smelting in­ dustry will be established at this po-int. Ontario Leads In Gold. Gold continues to be the most valu­ able of the metallic minerals mined' in Canada, according to output, which exceeded $35,009,600 in value in the year. In gold mining, Ontario is far in the lead. Better prices were obtained during the-year for asbestos, although there was a slight falling off in the ’ quantity produced. Of this mineral Quebec continues the most important producer in the world. Few questions attracted greater at­ tention in tho mining world during the year than the oil possibilities of Al­ berta. The strike at a depth of 3,740 feet of a heavy flow of wet gas in Royalite No. 4 well two years ago, re­ vived interest and as a result a great number of wells were drilled in dif­ ferent parts of the province in 1926, the greatest activity centering in the r vi i i MakeYourOwn SOAP and Save Money!

He was weaving! expected when in about a year the new about her a net, a heavy net of re- mining camp of Rouyn and vicinity spunsibilities, duties. He spoke of matters that must be attended to at once; others that could be delayed for a few weeks or months. It would be a year, perhaps two, before the estate would finally be settled. Anne heard him with an ever-growing dismay. A year—an eternity! Why, she and Lauis had planned to be married in June. And she had only asked Thelma Downes to substitute for her in school for a week! “IIo-w much,” she asked at last, “is there, anyway—I mean of the money?” “Conservatively speaking,” said Mr. Grayson, “and you understand these figures are not final, there will be from three hundred and fifty to four hundred thousand dollars a year.” “"What! Wrhat! But, good heavens— that’s enormous!” “Only a moderate fortune in these , days, I assure you, Miss Thorne.” i “Moderate! Why—every year would be a big fortune in itself. I never imagined—I wouldn’t know what to do iWith it.” Mr. Grayson permitted himself a smile at his young client’s -naivete. i ‘‘That can be learned.” He looked at ° ; his watch and made sounds of dismay. J After he had requested Anne to be at . his office at eleven the next morning, • he shook hands and disappeared. But i Mr. Fink lingered. “You seem so ■ alone, Miss Thome,” he ventured. “Haven’t you some friend or compan­ ion, or wouldn’t you like to employ temporarily a sort of—er—chaperon? I would also suggest a secretary, some ■ competent young woman, for of course you will be besieged——” “Besieged? What do you mean?” “You have a great deal of money. You will be besieged' by people who want to get it away from you,” said Mr. Fink grimly. “Did my great-uncle have a secre- liary?” I “No, Mr. Thorne was eccentric. He ' attended to everything, large and { small, himself. But do let me get you I someone; you’ll need her, I assure you. {I can telephone an agency and have »'! someone sent round on trial-----” ! “Wait until to-morrow,” said Anne. i “I must think things out. I won’t need anyone before to-morrow. My be- begins making an output.’ The com­ pletion of the railway line from Tas- chereau has solved the problem of transportation and will permit of the erection of the necessary plants for the mining and smelting of the ores. Ore bodies of great value have been proved, the extent of favorable pros- in the foot-hills. In two or three wells heavy flows of wet gas have been struck from which an important yield will be obtained but none is so produc­ tive as Royalite No. 4. Five hundred barrels of light oil is recovered daily from this one well and the gas, after purification, is piped to Calgary. Sev­ eral wells have not yet reached the deep oil-bearing formation and the progress of drilling ’in these and in those situated in other parts of the province will be watched with great expectancy.

I suppose I’ll have to learn about investments, and real estate and equity and such.” “It would be better’ if you d'id, but it isn’t necessary. It’s dull, and it’s hard, and it’s never ending. The only thing you need to worry your head about is how to get the most pleasure and enjoyment' out of spending the money.” Anne hesitated, and then spoke' ‘j.nnA “ 1 u /,bUHe* eren Mr. Fink had suggested, dress her more beautifully than Mrs. Tor­ rance, give her ease and idleness. Only •—again she knew that of everything in the world the least wanted by Mrs Chaner were ease and idleness. It came to her slowly and certainly -nothing in this money! It wars tak­ ing away from hex those whom ri.e loved; it was burying all hei' old ser­ ene contented life; it was a bitter voodoo magic to turn her into another Anne Thorne, an Anne Thorne like in feature and soul to old Andrew Thorne, of whom she could learn not one good thing. Back in her bedroom she called Mr. Grayson on the telephone. “I’m com­ ing down there,” she said, “as soon as you cun see me. It is very important. And immediate.” Spring had come on gayly in the weeks she had'been away. Riding be­ side Louis in his rattling, flabby fliv­ ver she saw the woods now in rich leaf.; the fields that were barely seeded when she left were now covered with young green. # “What did you think when you got my telegram?” Anne asked happily. • “I didn’t think—I went sort of crazy. Oh, Anne, I missed you!” She shifted to be nearer him. “Everybody in Cartertown thinks I’m a fool, Louis, except Aunt Mary. They’re cross because I didn’t give something to the town, but I didn’t want any of it near me. Gartertown can get along without Great-uncle Andrew’s money if I can, I reckon. It was an awful mess—getting rid of it, I mean. Mr. Grayson didn’t Want me to do'rt. But when he saw I was going to, he helped me. I settled something on Mrs. Torrance, so she can’t get anything but the income, and I took care of the servants. The house and all the stuff in it is- sold and gone. And all the money, from everything, has been turned into a foundation— that seems to be the stylish name for such things—to be used for orphans’ homes and trade schools. I thought, a& long as I was an orphan. I’d like to do something for other orphans.” “But didn’t you keep any of it, or buy anything?” Anne smiled a little shame-faced I smile. i right hand. “I got one thing.

Mr. Patterson came from Osceola, Iowa, in 1916, with $1,500 in capital represented in cash, stock and equip­ ment. He bought 160 acres of virgin • land. His farm is now 320 acres and I lie values it at $10,000. From his ex­ perience he says he would strongly ad­vise anyone looking for an opportunity!

I i Bes-fforYoa and Baby ioo. isift*,. n A man I know haunts frhe billiard- room of a certain chib, and spends his time mainly in telling other people how to play. “In off the red.” “You ought to have cannoned.” “Try a run- through.” He fires off these romorks like a magazine rifle. It is the most obvious stuff, and the mors irritating for its triteness-. He has seldom been seen to play himself. The general opinion is that he dare not. He poses as an expert, but is- probably a duffer. That is time to life generally. The’ chronic adviser has, as a rule, only one prominent cranial bump — the bump of self-conceit. If he were as big as his opinion of himself, ho would be a Napoleon of finance', a Caesar' of diplomacy, an Alexander of tho busi­ ness world. Incidentally, he is usually found to fall in his own affairs. The advice he gives is not backed by his own success. He is one of those empty things, which make the most sound'. A Word Fitly Spoken. But do not jump too hastily conclusion that I deprecate all and all advisers. There is which is an impertinence; there is, on the other hand, advice which is one- of the most precious gifts one human being carr’bestow upon another. “A word fitly spoken is like apples- of goldi in pictures of silver,” A bit of good advice, given in the right way, at the right time, is inspiring and invaluable. Tho man who gives his advice broadcast ought to be suppressed as a public nuisance. Advice is for the in­ dividual, and for his specific need. It seldom comes fittingly except from an intimate friend. Particular cases need particular treatment. Where ad- vico is concerned, the diagnosis and the remedy prescribed should be by an advice-physician who knows and re­ spects his patient. Must 1 butt in with vapid generali­ ties when my advice is neither asked nor valued? Who am I to judge an­ other? That implies a,sense of su­ periority which is an insult rather than a help. My advice must be humble, as of one who knows all too well that he stands in need of discerning counsel himself; it must be kindly, as of one whose only desire is to help a friend, and not to make display of his own superior judgment. When the Expert Speaks. In every case, advice needs to be tendered with hesitancy. The adviser shoulders a great responsibility. He should th&rfore know both his man and his ground. Advice needs know­ ledge as well as wisdom. If 1 have never had faith enough in my own nos­ trums to take them myself, flow can I presume to prescribe for another? But when the expert speaks the nov­ ice does well to listen. The man who has been through the mill knows how and why the wheels go round. I may ignore the hundred-upper, but I can­ not afford to ignore the champion. Youngsters generally make a big mistake when they refuse to listen to the advice of their elders. It is said, that experience is a hal'd school, but that fools will learn in no other. Ao for myself, I know of nothing more con­ soling than a word of sincerely spoken and timely advice from one who has ,been at the cross-roads before and knows the best turning to take. 6 I Canadian Plan Book Practical Articles on Planning, Building, Financing, Decorating, Furnishing and Gardening Illustrating homes that represent the newest ideas and latest treatment in Colonial, English, Spanish and Domestic design—bungalow, cottage and two-storey residences.
