That was when, in B.C. 705, after the, death of the great Sar- gon of Assyria, he joined with the Philistines and other in revolt against Assyrian rule, To this he was urged by the Egyptians who desked to use these smaller countries to protect their eastern border against Assyrian invasion, and who promised armed support. When Isaiah learned of the secret negotiations with Egypt he spoke strongly and fearlessly agalnst them, isa, 30; 1-7; 31: 1-3. When the terrible calamity which he foresaw actually came to pass, when Assyrian armies had laid waste the entire coun- try, had carried off great numbers of prisoners and vast quantities of spoil, and threatened Jerusalem, and when king and people were reduced to the. last extremity of despair, then once more they turned to Isaiah whose faith and courage proved a . rock of defence and refuge.

The uuletivenod bread reoalle the haste of the final dePar- tire from the land of bondage (Ex. 12: 3.13, 34,39). The altar's, referred to in v. 14, were, no doubt, the altars built by Ahaz (28: 24; compare 2 Kings 16: 10-13), and associated in the minds of the• People with some foreign idola- trous fashions and' practices.

This would have been impossible' while Northern Israel, the Israel of the ten tribes, was still a separate. kingdom. Hitthatkingdom had come to an end in B,C. 721, when Samaria. was taken by the Assyrians and many of the people were carried away into. captivity, 2 Kings 17: 5-6.. This in- vitation and the celebratio-t of the Passover and the reforms that follow- ed must have been made after that, when it was possible for Hezekiah's messengers to go everywhere through the country occupied by the remnant of the 'northern and eastern tribes (compare v. 6 and 31: 1). So also did Josiah's reforms nearly a hundred years later, extend to the territory of the northern tribes (see 34: 6-7). While some mocked at the king's mes- sengers and laughed them to scorn (v. 10), there were others who hum- lbed themselves and came to Jeru- salem (v. 11), glad, no doubt, to be reunited with their brethren of Ju- dah, and to share with them in this ancient and sacred festival.

Oil Stocks Lead Trading Interest Howey Gold Mine Has Much to Gain by Hydro Corn - Mission Contract LAKE SI -LORE NEWS By LLOYD J. MOORE Member Standard Stock and Mining Exchange oil, stocks have superseded the golds and hoppers in .market promi- nence during the past fortnight's trading on the Standard Stock and Mining Exehange up until the time of • the panic break on the New York Market, There has been a great wave or enthusiasm which has travailed from the West and as- sailed the Eastern markets. The, unusual spectacle 'of stocks doubling, and quadrupling in price 'almost over- night has been witnessed time and again. Comparative newcomers have been sharing prominence with more seasoned Stocks, such es Royaltte Home and Dalhousie, There is every indication of a fairly expended period of activity in the one of Western. Canada. Hoverer, there • is a danger that this will be carried • to extremes that are wholly unjustified. • There are plenty of precedents,so It would be well to watch the situation care- fully, The Turner, Valley field Is a remark' able zone, and lts possibilities have not yet been .guaged, • It is still more, or less a meologkal puzzle, inasmuch asthe`undertying..source of the crdde naptha content of the gas appears. to be a multiplicity of Stock flotation upon which excessive valuations are apt to be placed ay the speculative public: . Lake Shore and Teck -Hughes have been advancingstride by stride In mine development without much pub - attention being called to their achievements during the past year. Their progress has been quite sub- stantial and would doubtless have been heralded with much market ac- tivity if major attention had not been directed' toward the base metal stocks, notably the coppers and copper zinc of .Quebec, Sudbury and Northern Manitoba fields. Lake Shore now stands out as the greatest gold mine In North America. It is still much younger thanits great Porcupine rival, but nevertheless gives every' indica- tion of surpashiug it. Ore reserves have been increased steadily and the management has been justified in stepping up production. The record for a day's run is around 1,360' tons. Annual production Es not far from $7,000,00 per annum, and net profits are probably in excess of $4,000,000,. annually, -This amounts to twice the total capital of the mine, which is in itself a most remarkable record. The milling objective has not yet been reached. It is understood. that the next step will be 2,000 tons, which should give an output of $10,000,000 a year and profits of $6,000,000, or $3 a share, When such a step; will be made is uncertain, but there is every reason to expect it will eventually be reached and this tonnage will not ex- haust the possibility of still further' expansion. Lake Shore his .bee-: developing wonderfully at depth. The size of its ore shoots combined with the high averagevalues prorates to make Lake Shore a phenomenal earner. It is not yet possible to place ore reserves at the point that will soon undoubt- edly be attained, justifying .a 1,600 - ton milling program, When probable earnings are translated in terms of dividend, Lake Shoreais not unlikely t In the second month, v. 2. The reck- oning of time here is according to the Babylonian calendar, which in later post -exile times became the law of the yearlyfestivals of the Jews. This calendar put the beginning of the year in March. The old Hebrew calendar, which the Jews still use, placed it in September. The Passover law required that the feast should be celebrated in the first month (Ex. 12: 1-20). But there was a special provision for those who for any legitimate, reason could ,not keep the 'Passover at that time. They might keep it in the sec- ond month (Num. 9: 1-14). The rea- son given here (v, 3), is apparently connected with the statement in 20: 34, For the ceremony of anointing and setting apart the priests for, their sacred office, ani the sanctifying :of the Levites to be their helpers, sea Lev. ch. 8, and Num, ch. 8. Verses 6-9 give the form which the king's invitation took when addressed to the people of the northern tribes. It assumes that they have been the wrongdoers in the long separation of more than two hundred years between Israel and Judah. There is, however, more than that in the exhortation be not ye like your fathers, for there is abundant evident of the existence in the Northern Kingdom of many gross fortes of idolatry and superstition (see Kings 17: 7.18).

Such a meanies of. success has been enjoyed thus far in the extension of development work at depth that Tea - Hughes officials are making a bold laid to probe the ultimate possibilities of the property. The mine is moving is the direction of larger production. The' current year will undoubtedly bring improvement over the 1928 pro- duction record, which is not far'thort of $6,000,09. There is every indica- tion that, 1930 will be a still bigger year, Teek-liughes is running Lake Shore a close contest' tor leadership. The opening up of six new levels down to a depth of 8,000 feet, 'which Is now getting under way and the -pro- jetted close on to 4,000 feet will ex- pose 'Teck -Hughes capabilities in the way of larger production, There is reason to expect that be- fore fall work on the ,six netiv.levele will have procured sufficiently to jus- tify the erection of another 300 -ton mill unit, which will be in lino with the announced policy of the company.

Mines, 'Limited, has concluded acmost advantageous con tract for power with the Hydro-Elec trio Power Commission of 'Ontario whereby it is assuredofa $25 ratE for the life of the mine. This is an achievement of great importance to Howey, The contract calls fora mini- mum of 2.00 h,p, Power will be de- livered at the mine as soon as the plant can be built at Ear Fads, where a conaervetion'dam has been under construction for some months past... It will take 'approximately a year f0 complete the power installation, in the meantime, a 500 -ton mill will he built at the Howey property. Shaft- sinking to a depth of 1,000 feet is now in progress. The last information available was that a depth of approxi- mately 700 • feet had been 'reached. The shaft will be completed, and a sump' made by July, Lateral work will be conducted on the lower four level's simultaneously, as was the case on the first four. It seems likely that the next 'six months will see the Howey management well on the way toward proving up the downward ex- tension of its ore to a depth of 1,000 feet. There is plenty of ore at the present stage' to warrant 'embarking on a 500 -ton milling program. The lower cost of power will assist greatly in achieving remarkably low produc• tion casts. Horace G. Young, general manager, is figuring on a cost of $3.50 a ton. He also estimates the ore at $7, leaving a net profit of ,53.50. It is becoming apparent, however, that the fourth level is showing up a ton- slderable tonnage of ore that exceeds the above figure. It would hot he surprising If further development work shows up orewhich would bring the mine average to about $8,50 under ac- tual milling tests. The tendency of the management throughout the early development of the mine has been to underestimate rather than to magnify the results abtained. In view of this conservative attitude, the manage- ment's estimate of $3.50 costs will ba. taken much more serlouely than would otherwise be the case. It should be remembered that ore can be mined across much greater aver- age widths than- in Porcupine. In BY LLOYD J.

Hitherto the post :office regulations in Canada demanded the use of a certain candy. compound as food supply for bear, which it has ben found is not as satis- factory for bees as sugar syrup. The action of the Canadian •Post Office Department in changing .the regulations cane as a result of repre- sentations made by the Manitoba Bee- keepers' Association. Beekeeping is becoming an important industry in Manitoba. Of the 19,989,909 pounds of honey produced in Canada in 1928 the "province of. Manitoba aecouoted for 5,774, 898 pounds. It is the second largest producer among` the provinces of the Dominion, teing exceeded only by Ontario, with 8,500,000 pounds. Quebec is in third place with 3,800,000 pounds.
