Tho Argonaut boat is spurting to,a great 'victory Natural Resources Bulletin. The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Department of the In- terior at Ottawa says:- "Like looking for a needle in a hay- stack" is an old saying and one that is very often used as an excuse or a reason for lack of industry in dis- covery. If, however, the proverbial needle is of sufficient value to war- rant the time and expense in finding and recovering it, the industry is fury is justified. Th sittta'tion confronts many of Canada's mineral industries. Gold mining is particularly so, because the gold content of the ore is so small {that only by the most efficient meth- ods can it be recovered at a cost to }warrant development- Canada's largest gold mine, the Hollinger Consolidated, at Timmins, in Northern Ontario, in order to se- cure one ounce of' gold, Must • handle 2.7 tons of ore, When it is remember- ed that the gold occurs le small par - tides, it will be appreciated how'intri- cate the separation process must be. Last year , Hollinger Consolidated mined 1,366,352 tons of ore, front which was secured 502,680 fine ounces of gold, or nearly 21. tons. In addi- tion from this ore was produced :86,- 058 fine ounces of silver. The gold was valued at .910,391,324,,, and the silver at 955,088. Ti* land area of the Hollinger is 560 acres, yet be- neath this eneath'this area there are more than 60 miles of underground workings, With electric locomotives Hauling trains of trucks, and with rock crush. ers wonting• 1,550'feet leelow the sur face. There are 1,850 men emplsyed b this mint s Y e alone under r g ohhd. Even in gold mining the forest bears a large part, the mine props at Hollinger being brought from British Columbia, These are of Douglas fir, and are 12 by 18 inches, this large size •being ,necessary to -support the enormous weight. ' When all this labor and expendi- ture is necessary In order that front 2,7 tons of ore but one ounce of gold' may be secured, truly gold is rightly classed 55 a precious metal. Luck o the Navy. The ofticera and men of the British Navy are known the world over for the smart appearetnce andcleanliness, and it was for this reason that one of the officers o0 board a battleship' was rather disgusted at. the untidy appear- ance of a certain m#dshipmam. One morning the middy ,trolled in..' to the ward -room wearing a collar that was, to say the least of it, considerably soiled. This was too much for the officer, -, and, he -decided to tackle.. the young luau on the natter.. "Look here," he said, "you ought to be ashamed• of yourself coining in !acre` wlth,a filthy collar filth that round your '" neck." -'"Filthy, sir?" replied the offender,. "I. assure you this collar was washed f' ashore only yesterday." '`'I don't doubt that," waa the quiet• reply, "But from which wreck?"
