Shore and Teck -Hughes Marked Stimulous HUDSON BAY PROMISING , Interest shifted quite definitely to the gold steaks, toward the close of February, on the Canndii,n mining share markets. Such n eritorieus stocks as, Lake Shore and Teck - Hughes carie sharply to the le refront after a lengthy period of neglect. Production records, net prorits and dividends should be • materially' in- creased before a great while. These. Kirkland Lake leadees have sold at much higher prices than those now prevailing, even after the recent.ad- vanee. It may bo considered entirely likely that new high record prices will BY LLOYD J. MOORE, Member Standard Stock and Mining Exchange. be established for both stocks, in due time: Lake Shore particularly has embarked upon a program of expand- ing production. Porcupine's records of,gold production and dividends are, liely to be far surpassed. by the Kirk- land Lake Camp, which is beginning t crowd its older rival, in spits of the fact that it has much further `to go before reaching the same stage of. development. The single dark cloud on the Kirk- land Lake horizon is Wright Har- greaves, concerning which the facts were made known at the recent an- nual meeting, There seems reason for believing that the future is not as bad a., the stick market has indicated. Major attention. will now be placed on mine development. A selective milling program will probably be followed. This company's difficulties have not been entirely surmounted yet. It is. encouraging to note, however, that February mil, heads were approxi- mately $8.00 a tori, which is consider- ably better than December and Janu- ary. Students of the Wright Har- greaves situation estimate that divi- dends may be'resumed after an inten- sive campaign of nine development has been completed. Twelve to eigh- teen months,should.be allowed to put both mins and market in first class shape. As was expected the shares of Ven- tures Limited advanced to a premium over the issue price. There was fever- ish trading in thi,: stock and much confusion, owing to the fact that per- sons who -had had applied for stock rosea d in to sell before they, were advised of their allotments. This company's assets appeared to be given an absurd valuation at the high prices coached, and are explainable only by the lim- ited arnouitt of, shares available and the early insistent demand., The issue, of Central Patricia Mines Limited was also made, with. cplrlications far exceeding the amount available for distribution. Some 500,- 000 shares were allocated, at 40c a share, and total applications were about 3,000,000 shares. The stock found an early iharket at around 60 to 65 cents. The company has ap- proximately $260,000 in the treasury. There will be an active seasm of pros- pecting effort in the Cron River field. this year, where the Central Patricia discvery has been outstanding thus far, The Central Patricia property probably looks as good or better than did Howey at the same stage of de- i•elopment. The entire Patricia field should re- ceive an impetus from the power de- velopment at mar Falls, which is now practically assured will be ' under- taken 'by the Hydro. Electric Power Commission of. Ontario. The Base Meta lstocks have given place in market prominence to the golds, temporarily at least. It is near- ly eighteen months since major inter- est was shown in Abe old favorites, such as Lake Shore, McIntyre, Dome and Teck -Hughes. Hollinger has not done much recently, but it will un- drubtedly join the active goldgroup before long. A further advance. in the price of copper to 181/2 cents has drawn further attention to the pro- ducers of this metal. Some of the authorities are predicting 10 cent copper almost immediately, This situa- tion is a bullish card for such enter- prises as Noranda and International Nickel and to a smaller extent Sher- ritt-Gordon and Hudson Bay. The last named stock is very well regard- ed by'prominent mining interests both in Canada and the United States. The annual meeting of Hudson Bay Min- ing and Smelting Co. is being held at Woodstock, Ontario, on March .5th. If the directors care to take the share- holders fully into their confidence they would undoubtedly be able to create a buoyant market situation. The insid- ers have not rushed the stock up un- duly, probably concluding that such a policy was not desireable until the development program was further ad- vanced. Hudson Bay would show net earnings of at least $3.50 a ton.' It will have an initial production of 3,000 tons daily. The company has an issued capital of 2,500,000 shares. Ore reserves are figures conservative- ly at 20,000,000 tons. It should be easy for anyone to figure the probable pro- fits per share, on this basis. The ulti- mate production might easily be double the initial mill capacity. De- velopment of the power site at Island Falls, Sask., is proceeding and power should be delivered at the mine about the end of this year, ANSWERS TO INQUIRIES: RIDGETowN—Amity Copper is still in the prospect stage. The Boston Creek Copper Camp probably hat a chance, but no important tonnage has been developed up to date. You might easily get out of your stock at around 55 cents if you care to wait long enough. The writer cannot get en- thusiastic about it however. Ajax Oil and Gas has been disap- pointing marketwise. The company's drilling efforts have met with some success, but this has not been sub- stantial enough to warrant present hopes for big profits. There are other channels in which speculative funds might be better employed, in the writ- er's opinion. MONO ROAD -Canadian Associated Gold Fields stems to be a forlorn hope. We think you would be well advised to leave it alone. Premier is the best stock in your list. This company is active in British Columbia. It will probably continue to pay dividends for some time to come. Lake Shore, Took - Hughes and McIntyre are three divi- dend paying golds that should merit your attention. A small number of shares of a high priced stock may prove more profitable than a larger block of cheap shares that have little or no merit behind them. • Before this article appears in print the writer will have completed n visit, to Kirkland Lake and Rouyn where operations of wide interest to the min- ing public will be studied and dealt with in succeeding articles, Cold Lamb Put about one-half pound of lamb through the food chopper twice, Sea- son with salt and popper and one- fourth teaspoonful of summer savory, one egg yolk, well beaten an dtwo tablespoonfuls of cream.

It has all, the soft fluster of the 'Preach thread.. 11 will Bide the stitches just as cleverly in all the fashionablenew crepes, taffetas, chif- fons, velvets 'and tweeds. It. is easy to sew with, too, for there, is no areli. lug into snarls and knotting. On ac, count of the satiny finish, tensions are always even in machine sewing and the bobbins feed smoothly, se the machine stitching is beautiful, But its chief advantage lies in its being Politest. The thread can never run and stain the material, nor can it fade to a paleness that no longer matches the color of the fabric, This boilfast mercerized thread conies in over a hundred shades—all the smart brown and beige shades; all the warm tones of the new Paris; all the new blues, greens and yellows. Embroidering With Mercerized Floss It also comes in skeins of est strands for embroidery purposes, but one of its most recent uses is as a remarkably effective trimming for little girls' frocks and women's aprons and house dresses. Used to outline the edges of collars and cuffs, the tops of pockets, sometimes the hem of the dress, and even for ma- chine smocking, it gives quite an ela- borate appearance at the expense of very little time, The embroidery floss is wound on the machine bobbin, the six strands all together as one thick thread. Use on the spool, cotton thread of a uun- •trasLing color, fine thread or heavy, as desired; different sizes will give . different effects :o the finished work. Draw the under thread to the top of the machine ready for work, then, with a slightly loose tension, sew as usual on a sample to see which length of stitch and which tension will give the best effect on the material it is is trim, Tile trimming lies on the under side of the cloth and consist.; of tiny uniform puffs et the embroidery cot- the contrasting upper thread. Oa top, marked off in regular spaces by the cotton prints so popular this sea- son for children's garments one can use thread and floss of contrasting color to match shades in the design; red floss with black above; green with black; green floss with orange on the spool, and so on. Marking With Needles Holes As the trimming, to be most effec- tive, must be placed at even distances from the edge, it is a good idea at first to mark the line from the right side of the garment by machine stit- ching with no thread in either bobbin or needle. Now put these into the machine, turn the work to the wrong side and follow the line of needle holes there. After a little pregei6e iTfie can stitch the trimming without such a guide. Another trimming that looks yell from the right side 1s merely a line of machine stitching with a heavy thread on the bobbin and a light thread of contrasting color on the spool. In both cases, the work goes very fast and enables one to make a number of children's frocks from one pattern without their seeming at all alike. Preserves Made Ix liepecTIoN—Tho Sabbath is an institution with a great and honor- able history. it began with the pur- pose of giving a day of rest to those who were burdened by the engrossing labor of the world. Under the new. dispensation it came to be the Lard's Day on which Jesus rose from the dead; but the thought of rest still con- tinued. If this day is lost, and the demands of pleasure and business are allowed- to take it away the result will be very injurious alike to the body and to the soul. I. THE oLD TES1n.LENT AND THE SAB- BATH, Excel, 20; 8-11. V. 8. This is the rourtn of the Ten Commandments, or Uecalogue, and goes back to early times, V. 9. The Sabbath mw yas not in- tended to promote indolence, sinus the Bible is very decided in tee way in which it makes work one of the neces- sities of life. Unless a man work neither shall he eat. It is generally recognized that work is one of the ele- mentary conditions of happiness, and is not to be regarded as a curse, but as a blessing. But work must not engross all man's time'an.; ei -igy. V. 10, The two objects o. this Sab- bath are here mentioned: (1) It is God's day, when man recognized that he is a child of God, that he has a spiritual nature, and that he can never be satisfied if he gives no attention to these demands of the soul. (2) It is also meant for the restoration of the body; and every member of the home is to be included. In this the rights of the so-called working crosses are sot forth. Indus'ry must not be allow- ed to enslave any class of people. In general it may be sale that the prim- ary idea in the Sabbath of the Old Testament was philanthropic; but as time advanced many new restrictions were introduced which tended to con- ceal the original purpose, Regulations were formed which dealt with all kind's of situations, and while it must not be thought that the Jews regarded their Sabbath as a burden, yet these new laws were oppored to the prin- ciple of freedom. II. JESUS AND THE SABBATH, Matt. 12: 1-8. V. 1. There were few things for which Jesus was more bitterly attack- ed than for his attitude to the Sab- bath. It is clear that he observed the de,, for worship red that he attended the services of the temple and the synagogue, but he refused to regard as binding all these minor restrictions which the Jews had introduced into the celebration of the Sabbath. He so treated this day that a new attitude to it arose, and the Christian Sabbath, therefore, is different from the later Jewish Sabbath. In this present story we see how the disciples plucked the ears of corn possibly on their way to the synagogue, not because the dis- ciples had taken what did not belong to them, but because their action was a kind of reaping and threshing, which was definitely forbidden. V. 3. Jesus defends his disciples' with an example taken from the his- tory of Israeli from one of their her- oes. David, in a time of necessity, took the saered bread, thus showing that the higher law of necessity sets aside the ritual law. V. 5. He also shows how the very fact of worship makes it needful that the priests Should do all kinds of work CM the Sabbath. The Sabbath is the minister's heavies, day, In other in- stances Jesus appealed to the ele- mentary law of mercy and kindness to show that kindness is to be placed above mere obedience to a rule. Nec- essity and 'fleecy are able to modify this commandment. V. 6. Jesus now introduces a quite new factor, and lays claim to the right to change this day. He is the Lord of all, and as such -has authority over the day. The 01d Testament Sabbath thus passes, and its place is to be taken by the day which is appointed for the worship of Christ III. THE CHURCH AND THE LORD'S DAT, Join 20: 19; Rev. 1: 10. John 20: 19. The Cluistihns evi- dently began quite early, to keep the first day of the week, because it was associated with the resurrection of. their Loth. It was felt that a new conception of worship had appeared, and the disciples were so overwhelmed with the majesty of their risen Lord that they associate their sacred day with him. It is the day when he brought new life to them, Rev, 1: 10. This is the first mention of the term, "Lord's Day." John was banished to the island of Patntos be- cause of his Christian confession; and on the first day of the week he recalls the fact that his brethren in Ephesus are worshipping in their little gather- ing. He is present with the,. in im- agination, and while he does this he passes into a state of ecstasy, in which he sees the wonderful things revealed in Revelation. This is clear evidence that this had econte the day of wore ship for the Christians, The Old Testament Sabbath he! "811c lint its spirit iiassed over into the Lord's lay. This was another example of the way 'in which heist fulfilled the law.
