Valuable information concerning 'the various settlements, was; collected and considerable mate rial on wild life, was also obtained.. Major Burwash reached Cambridge pay on the southeast coast of Vic- toria island on August 31 and after replenishing his supplies proceeded to the west coast of Boothia penins- ula where be will establish his win- ter camp in the vicinity of the magn- etic pole, Advice of the progress of Major Burwash's work was contained in a Wireless message 'received by the Director of the North West Territo- res• and Yukon Branch from Cam- bridge bay, through the Hudson's Bay .Company's steamer "Baymaud", whicb is equippedwith a strong wire- Iess set. Early in June this year, Major Bur- wash left Ottawa for Edmonton from which point he began the long trip to Aklavik in the delta of the Mac- kenzie river.

MINING BRIEFS. Favorable results are being secured in development at the Murphy Mines' property in eastern Kirkland Lake, according to officials of the company. A diamond drill hole being put down about 250 feet east of the new shaft has encountered ore of good grade and has been'in it _or two or three days up to the time of writing. This is thought to be a new vein oreprobably. the extension of the Ritchie vein. Width is unknown as the dip of the ein is not known as yet and the drill was set at an angle of about 60 de- grees. Work has gone ahead at a very rapid rate on the property and the new shaft is now down to the 100 - foot horizon and a level has been established at that depth. Some lat- eral work has been . carried out here and this has been successful in open- ing up 40 feet of ore to date. The main shaft has been put down to the 600 -foot level, Officials state that re- cent work at the property has indi- cated about ndi-cated-about $4,000,000 of ore in one, vein alone. This is the showing upon which the new shaft was sunk. In addition to this de there are three other proven breaks on the property as well. as the break which the drill is now in. Murphy is capitalized at 9,000,000 shares,- 3,800,000 of which ere issued with vendors stock, amount- ing to 1,000,000 shares, being pooled until November, 1929. Keeley is reported to have made a new find on thesurface of theirP ro- perty at South Lorrain. The discovery is said to be a two -inch -wide vein of high grade silver; Values were not mentioned. It is further stated that a crosscut has been started under- ground to cut the downward extension of this showing. Work on the new find at the Capital Rouyn is said to have opened up con- siderable high grade, showing con- siderable heavy leaf gold. The ore occurs in a strong break and appears High School Boards and Boards of Education Are authorized by law to establish INDUSTRIAL, TECHNICAL AND ART SCHOOLS With the approval of the Minister of Education DIV AND EVENINGCLASSES may be conducted in accordance with the regulations issued by the Department of Education., THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION is given in various trades.

TONIC TREATMENT FOR INDIGESTION Indigestion Comes With Run - Down Condition — Relief Comes Through Enriching the Blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Make New Blood. There are many symptoms of in- digestion such as acute pain after eating, belching of wind, nausea and vomiting, bloating and pains in the region of the heart, a dread of food for themisery it causes. Dieting and the use of pre-digested foods may give ease, but that is all, and meanwhile the stomach grows steadily weaker. The work of digestion depends upon the blood and' nerves and the only way to get rid of indigestion is to tone up the stomach through the blood, to do the work nature intended it should do. The one thorough way to do this is through the ..use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which renew the blood, strengthen the nerves and enable the stomach to do its work with ease and comfort. Neglected indigestion means Prolonged misery. If you have any of the symptoms of this trouble try the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills • at once and you will be gratified with the results. Among the many who have found new health through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is Mrs. Ada Webb, R.R. No. 3, Prescott, Ont., who says: -"For a long time I went through the tortures of nervous indi- gestion; I call it torture because no other word can describe what I en- dured. If my stomach was empty I retched., If I took food I vomited. I diel not sleep, and I was steadily grow- ing weaker. I doctored for months but with no benefit. One day my hus- band said, as the treatment you have had has not helped you, why not. try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I consented and heof me a supply. g pp y. After I had been taking the pills for a while I knew they were helping me as the pains and retching grew less and I slept better. I gladly continued the use of the pills and in a few months I felt like a new woman, better than I had felt for years, and able to work for myhusband and children again. After such a wonderful experience how can I do anything else but recom- mend Dr Williams' Pink Pills?" If you need a blood -building tonic begin taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to -day.

The ailments of childhoodare many but nine -tenths of them aro due to ,one cause and one cause only—a dis- ordered condition of the stomach and bowels. To quickly banish any of the minor ailments of babyhood and child - hoed the bowels must be made to !work regular and the stomach must be sweetened. No other medicine for little 01103 has had such success as has Baby's Own Tablets. They banish constipa- tion and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers; correct diarrhoea and colic and promote healthful sleep by . regulating the furations of the stomach and bowels. Concerning them Mrs. L. M. Brown, Walton, N.S., writes: -"I ca.inot speak too highly of Baby's Own Tablets as I have found them excellent for childhood ailments." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealers, or by mail at 25 cents a box. from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, On.t Hopes to Extract Food From Wood German Professor Has Prod- uced a Digestible Carbo- hydrate For Cattle and Hogs Berlin.—Professor Bergius, known as the successful liquefier of coal and maker synthetic benzine, claims another discovery from which it ap- pear sthe German Press also expects wonders. In an address to the annual conference of the Association of Ger- man Chemists, which is taking place at Dresden, he announced that, in the course of experiments to transform wood artificially into coal, he had pro- raced a digestible carbohydrate. Readers 'of Maeterlinck's -remark- able little book on Ants will remember that the Belgian poet puts it forward as one of the chief achievements of those wonderful inse0ts that they alone among animate creatures know how to extract nutriment from ,cellu- lose, the chief constituent of wood, and se are able to devour either for- ests or furniture—whichever happens to lie handy. Professor Bergius now proposes to do for man what the ants do for themselves. We are nt, however, di- rectly to substitute faggots for cutlets and logs for sirloins. The woods of Germany are to be transformed into fodder, which will take the place of hundred and fifty or two hundred mil- lion dollars worth of barley and maize at present imported annually as food for cattle and pigs. It is not, of course, pretended that the transition from laboratory success of factory prduction will be immedi- ate. Savings on Balloon Tires Total in the Millions Washington..—Because balloon tires last longer than high pressure tires and because the Stevenson rubber re- striction plan in Malaya and Ceylon was thwarted by the independent ef- forts of natives in the Dutch Irides, the motorist pays $10 for his caring to -day as against $11.20 on an average in 1926. Reckoned in tennis of the 63,550,000 tires sold in the United States last year—a new high output —the benefit passed on to the con- sumer reaches millions. Incidentally, the revolution in the rubber industry has sent explorers to the far ends of the world seeking rubber substitutes, has set Thomas Edison to work extracting rubber from milk weeds, and even turned the at- tention of natural scientists to 2,000 acres of black, vicious, molasses -like bitumen, beneath the waters of the Great Salt Lake in Utah, as a :Pos- sible source of "synthetic" rubber. The story is told in statements re- leased by the Department of Com- merce. Substitutes for true rubber are not likely to make great headway with the present price, it is felt, but they will be held in reserve should th eprice again mount.
