Gold Stocks 0 Take. the Lead Production and Profits Unite to Give Lake Shore and Teck -Hughes Marked Stirnulous HUDSON BAY PROMISING, Interest shifted quite definitely to the gold stocks, toward the close of February, on the Canadian mining share markets. Such n.eritorious stocks as Lake Shore and Teck - Hughes came sharply to the ft refront after a lengthy period of neglect, Production records, net profits and dividends should be materially in- creased before a great while. Theee Kirkland Lake leaders have sold at much higher prices than those now prevailing, even after the r cent ad- vance: It may be considered entirely likely that new high record prices will be established for both stocks, in due time. Lake Shore pof expaularly nd- ing embarked upon a program production. Porcupine's records of gold production and dividends are likely to be far surpassed by the Kirk- land Lake Camp, which is beginning t . crowd its older rival, in spite of the fact that it has much further to go Radio Operator Has Travel Record Trained operators in charge of radio -equipped cars in daily service on the Canadian National Railways travelled a total of 6,134,726 miles during 1928, and the most travelledoperator during the twelve months was R. K. Anderson, who may well lay claim to a world's record for his performance. Mr. Anderson covered 153,050 miles , on duty, a distance which represents the cireumnavigation of the globe several times. This operator is usually on - before reaching the same stage of duty on board the International Limited, the fast daily train operating between Montreal and Chicago. Trains on eight runs on the National Sy -13 - tent carry radio equipped cars, the Canadian National Railways being the first: In the world to .otter rattle as part of the service provided for passengers.

Home Hints The March wind, is blowing about these days and playing with Old Man Winter. Once in a while a promise of Spring creeps rota the air and then the housewife begins to think of cleans- ing up after the grime of the past few months, Here are a few things that - Will help the cleaning job materially. 1.

Death. I have run the racing .Rapids, leapt adown the Falls of Folly, - Loitered long on LakesofLaugos and the Ponds aSelfish Ease Now I've reached the Estuary where I feel strange hidden forces Rushing in to meet the River, from the Ocean's mysteries. Here I ponder, pray and wonder, as I pass the promontories, What awaits me in that Ocean just beyond the outward bar. Will fierce monsters of Time's morning sear my soul, all mercy scorning Or strange Gorgon from perition life's achievements sadly mar Will this life that I've been living blossom into wider being, Or will dark negation claim for its prey? "Naked came I, naked go I," is there then no time resultant? Am. I but a ghost's dim shadow conscious only for a day? Oh the River's current drives me and the ebbing tide out -draws me As I hesitate and ponder on the Ultimate and Truth; Will true loving Spirits meet me and glad, joyous, dear ones greet me? Will the depths of ocean bring me to the lost ideals of youth? Itiust I drift and drift without purpose, pian or anchor And be lost for aye in space -zones of Eternity's expanse? Is the Spirit -life by inches, atoms, volts or light-years measured, Or is Love its gauge or unit of advance? Will the savor of the Ocean vivify the River's driftwood And the essence of Eternity my soul? Will my wave lengths catch the music made by Spirit choirs or angels, And the laws of growth, or chance, my destiny control? So I float here on the billows as I peer across the Ocean Listening to the voices of my long departed years; And the cloud shapes far above me bear a strange, familiar likeness To the comrades, long departed to the chalice of my. tears. Over all these tides and currents.I seem to know the Presence Of Him who stilled the tempest on the Galilean sea, So with Faith and Hope abiding, on life's ebb tide I am gliding Outward, onward, with Love guiding to:my final destiny.

Students' of the Wright Har- greaves situation estimate that divi- dends may be resumed after an inten- sive campaign of mine development has been completed. Twelve to eigh- teen months should be allowed to put both mine and market in ' first class shape. as expected the shares of Ven- tures Limited advanced to a premium over the issue price. There was fever- ish trading in this stock and much confusion, owing to the tact that per- sons who had applied for stock rushed 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 reached, and are explainable only by the lim- ited amount of shares available and the early insistent demand. The issue of Central Patricia. Mines Limited was also made, with applications far exceeding the amount available for distribution. Some 500,- 000 00,000 shares were allocated, at 40c a share, and total . applicatins were on sterk. about 3,000,000 shares. found an early market at around 60 to 65 cents. The company has ap- proximately $50,000 in the treasury. There will be an active season, of pros- pecting effort in the Crow River field., this year, where the Central Patricia discvery has beenoutstanding thus far. : The Central Patricia property probably looks as good or better than. did Howey at the same stage of de - z elopment. The entire Patricia field should re- ceive an impetus from the power de- velopment at Lar 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 the old favorites, such as Lake Shore, McIntyre, Dome and Teck -Hughes. Hollinger has not done much recently, but it will un- doubtedly join the active gold group before long. A further advance in the price of copper to 183/4 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. I£ the director's care to take the share- holders fullrinto their confidence they would undoubtedly be able to create a buoyant market situation. The insid- ors have not rushed the stock up un- duly, probably eonchiding that such a policy was not desireable until the development program was further ad- vanced. Hudson Bay would show iiet earnings of at least 83.50 a ton. It will have ' an initial production of 3,000 taus daily. The conipaiiy has ani issued capital of 2,500,000 shares. Ore reserves are figures conservative- ly at 20,000,000 tons. It shol,id 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.

Young Antelopes The following morning from camp I watched Mother Antelope and het two - youngsters through my glass. Be- fore the mother went to the water hole she 'made tbem lie down. They vanished into the surface—melted into the prairie. One lay by a sage brush. I knew the exact spot, but on going close my eyes tried a number of times before they separated this palpitating little body from the life- less, ifeless, sandy surface. Later another mother antelope carne along and stood near him for some time without even detecting his Presence. A coy- ote, too, in-zigzagginfl alongside this youngster passed without seeing hint. But a meadow Iark ranging near for grass -hoppers received a sur. prise. 1 -le wore a lordly shield of yen low gold. From the top of the saga brush he sent his silvery, rippling notes across the perfumed green ot the prairie. Hopping dower; he alight- ed upon the warm and motionless body of the kid. He leaped aside in surprise and turned to look curi- ously for that something which his sense of touch bad diseovered. A jack rabbit came up a ravine and squatted near, the young antelopes without seeing thein, tut they saw tee rabbit. Later in. the day, when Mother Antelope returned from the water hole, she fed for a time near the youngsters. When she came close they rose up. Like a jack in the box the astonished rabbit leaped and fled, as though escaping a coyote. - One entire 'day was - spent in my walking miles of circuit from camp. I counted nine different mother ante- lopes and with three I saw the young.. . Three days hater I saw the mother and her two youngsters crossing the prairie. They were capering merrily about. At last their light end wing- ed legs had found their speed, and no more would they lie low and seek safety by vanishing They moved off eastward and Pain- ed two mothers and youngsters.
