Many appeared in :the picturesque. Foresters' green and red oostumes,� and carried bows and arrows, and• once again the strains of the Forest- ers''march, "Bold Robin Hood," rang. out. through the Mils and dales, three bands playing the mato-date version of it, which -has been arranged by A. Marsden, of Bakewell, a member, of the Executive Council of the Order It includes a selection from "God Bless the Prince of Wales." Other friendly societies, including the Druids and the Oddfeliows, also participated, and given a prominent place in the .procession were the Ash- ford Men's Friendly Society, which is the oldest friendly society in' the country. Born and. Died in Village The Ancient Order of Foresters ie cantly made itself responsible for .the maintenance and preservation of Little' John's grave, and on arrival at the churchyard a laurel wreath was placed •ou it by the high. Chief Ranger. A film of the proceedings was taken' by khnematograph operators trent to perch on the roof of the porch of the. parish .church. A dense crowd at the service held .subsequently in a field adjoining the .churchyard reverently sang several. .old hymns, including "0 God, -our help in ages past," "Eternal Father," "Fight the good fight;" "Lead Kindly Light," and "Abide with me." The massed bands accompanied the singing. Rev. 41., H. Broolabank, vicar of Hathersage, declared that Little John was bornin the village and died there. English people ought to be proud of their past history, and they should not be bam- boozled Into thinking that the stories. of Little John and Robin, Hood were fairy tales and myths. There were things about Little John which they had to admire. He had a keen zest In life, and he enjoyed every moment of it. He had a remarkable ' gift for making and keeping friends. . He was ever loyal to Robin Hood and the rest of.. the gang; he was sympa- thetic to those in need, and was al- ways ready to help anybody. With- out exalting him to the dignity of saintliness, he. added, Little John was e good, wholesome man within his limits. When he shot his last arrow from his death -bed he begged that he might be buried where the arrow dropped—under the old yew tree in the churchyard. ' The High Chief Ranger said the question was often asked: "What as- sociation have you as a society..with those names you so frequently symbol- • ize in your assemblies?" He was not going to try to prove any direct eon- nection`between the society asit was known to -day and Robin Hood and his ,merry men, who "were -classed' as outlaws. Outlaws they might have beenin the eyes of the law of the land and the times, but they were struggling for liberty for, the indi- vidual, freedom for the oppressed, and to help the needy.

Milting' Briefs Tho wires have been humming, with no loss' than three despatches coming down from the Kirkland Larder-Laite district and one from Rouyn, all within the hour. Tho gist ofone of these messages was that it is understood that Lake Shore lie,ve reached 0 depth of 1,00Q feet in their now shaft, and aro now cutting a station at that level, The report continues that they Have encountered a new vein running par- allel to the south vein and to the south` In crosscutting, at the 1 sscuttin leve Goodiish is reported to..have picked up the oxtonsiou of the vein that was encountered- on the 150 -foot level, said to be well -mineralized and having a width of approximately seven feet.

Width was given as 34 feet, showing heavy mineralization. No assays have .been made as yet. Canadian Situation a Puzzle New- York—Commenting on the Canadian Exchange situation the New York Times says: Bewilderment has existed in Wall Street thisweek over the lack of largo gold ..shipments from Canada to New York at this time; as a result of the record discount. of 3-8 of 1 per cont. on Canadian Exchange, It is realized, of`uourse, that the banks in Montreal have little of the metal to spare for export, and that added 'ex- panse involved in bringing gold here from Ottawa, but even so the present discount should be bringing large sup- plies from the Dominion. A few shipments, have been made since the first' of -June, but the total, less than e$24 000,000, is smaller than would ordinarily coon here in a few days in the face of such an exchange discount as prevails at present. As a rule the exchange rate would he. steadied by the shipment of gold or, if that ooaarse were not considered desirable by the. Canadian fimaalcial,authorities, •credits would be hotained which woald cor- rest the present sitantion. The die conn# isattributedto the heavy move- ment of Canadian funds to New York, based on the high money rates here. Noranda's "H" Ore Body Grows— Smelter Recovery Up -What - Will Seven Other Zones Show et Depth Noranda management for some little time past has been concentrat- ing onproving the dimensions of the No. "H" ore body, which, from being a minor grade ore zone at shallow horizons, has attained foremost rank among some eight: ore bodies already opened up in the mine. Proving full dimensions is a big job, because the zone is a big one. Drills from points in the shaft and lateral workings have Penetrated the further reaches of ore east and west, and between 000 and 700 feet length, mostly in high-grade material has been indicated This is the length so far, the width evidently being 121 feet. Ore from these workings is going to the smelter. Officials won't say what smelter results are, but the daily treatment is up to 800 tons. Mixing the $50; material from the "H" ore body with the' general run of mine rocks, which averages $23 per ton, recovery in copper and gold is esti- mated to be better than $30 per ton, which would mean en annual rate of $9,000,000 The second half of the smelter will go into operation next month. What will the "H" ore body show below 1,000 feet? What will the seven other ore Undies show between 1,000 feet and 600 feet and also below 1,000 feet? These are questions the future will answer, and the stock, which Is now more than $10 below the recent high, will reflect developments es they are reported. Mitring Stock Index index of seventeen weighted eventeen mining stocks computed' by. the Do- minions Bureau of Statistics on the base of 1926-100 was 1379 forthe week ending July 12, oe compared with 133.7 for the week ending July 5. Gold ,copper Stocks represented by' Noranda and Amulet rose from' 270.3 to 295,4, Eleven gold stocks fell from 108.8. to 108.5. Four silver and mis- cellaneous Stocks rose from. 85,3 to 85,9.

This brought the total sales for the year, to date to $293,150,621, as compared with $315,833,795. i n the aeries corresponding P g period a year ago and 0400,121,820 In, 1926. Of the total bond sales this year $271,278,000 have been corporation issues, while Government bonds rank- ed second with $49,770,000, municipals; third with $16,706,626 and railway ed!foMassey -Morris Co mpanY earrn urth with $9,296,000. $2.69 per share on its present com- mon stock in the fiscal year ended November 30th last, In view of the increase in sales and the new con- nections made by the company this year, the report for 1928 should show substantially m Bally b otter results. If noth- ing untoward occurs before the har- vest, Canada will reap probably the largest crops in its history. This would further strengthen the hands of farjners and enable greater num- bers of tilom to equip their farms with modern machinery, so vital to tine economic safety of agriculturlists to -day.

Natural Resources in the West Edmonton Journal (Ind. Cons.)

Alberta is not so eager to demand compensation.)• What par- ticularly appeals to, Alberta in this long -hoped -tor return of the natural resources is the prospect of getting pdssession of itself, so that it may work out its' own future on its own responsibility and initiative. • Hereto- fore it has never been mistress in its own -house, and it wants ,to be. Mani- toba, it is true, is getting control in the meantime, with a prospect of com- pensation in the end, and if there is to be compensation to one province it will naturally be a precedent for the others. But until further light comae on the question, feeling in Alberta will likely be in favor of a less exact- ing basis of settlement for the sake of winning the rights of self-determina- tion.

British Settlers Below Demand Ontario and Maritirne Prov- inces Make Increasing Calls Quebec.Canada's demand for Brit- ish settles has not been met so far this year and by a considerable mar- gin, declared Dr, W..1, Black, director of the Canadian National Railways Department b0 Anligration and'Colon- izatlon, in making known, as lie stilled from Canada for England July 20 aboard the Cunar'dor .Ansonia that, 1,400 new families were settled on farms by this department within the presentcalendar year.

This demands, ho said, was particularly marked in Ontario and quite definite in the Maritime Prov- inces, The Canadian west befug,:also, in need of more workers. With reference to the apparent de- sire of the Maritime Provinces to ab- sorb many more British farm settlers, i ecl the C.N.R. director said that the e n e 1 was much greater there than last year.
