GIVE CARHUILETOR TEST ON Ai
HILL.
There is one certain test far the
accuracy of adjustment of any car-
buretor, and that is to try the oar
on a hill, It has been adopted by
Many carburetor experts as the most
satisfactory guide, and it also helps
to repeal valve and ignition troubles.
Seket a hill over which your car
can pull with coniparative ease if it
IIs given the advantage of a fair start,
but start the climb at as low a speed
as the car will run without strain or
bucking. It should run down to five
miles .an hour if it is a six.
Now press the accelerator all the
way down to the floor, retarding the
spark only if the engine labors seri-
ously. A little clicking Is normal for
an engine under these conditions, and
for the test this will not harm the
motor. If the engine immediately
starts to buck stop the ear, coast back
to the etart and set the carburetor
for a richer mixture.
Then try it again. If the engine
gets right clown to business, and
maintains the slow speed without
bucking or laboring unduly, the mix-
te. o was too lean previously, You
h-vo improved conditions, and you
are justified, in making the mixture a
tr:ile richer in order -to see whether
it i possible to make the engine pick
up when running it so slowly uphill.
Before you do this, however,
be sure
to allow the engine to cooldown a
bit so that pre-ignition due to heat
and oarbon will be less troublesome
during the climb.
If the engine pulls still better with
the new adjustment you have found
the right mixture. If the engine
starts to buck when you are half way

Natural Resources Bulletin.
The Natural Resources.Intelligence
Service of the Department of the In-
terior at Ottawa says: -
"Like looking for a needle in a hay-
stack" is an old saying and one that
is very often used as an excuse or a
reason for lack of industry in dis-
covery. If, however, the proverbial
needle is of sufficient value to war-
rant the time and expense in finding
and recovering it, the industry is
fully justified.
This situation confronts many of
Canada's • mineral industries. Gold
mining is particularly so, because the
gold content of the ore Is so small
'that only by the most efficient meth
ods can it 1?e recovered at a cost to
wariant development.
Canada's largest gold • mine, the
Hollinger Consolidated, at Timmins,
in Northern Ontario, in order to se-
cus-: one ounce of gold, must handle
2.7 tens of ore. When it is remember-
ed that the gold occurs in small par -
tic es, it will be appreciatRd'how
the separation process must be.
Last year Hollinger Consolidated
11866,352 tons of ore, from
wh.th eke secured 502,680 fine ounces
of gold, or nearly 21 tons. In addi-
tion from this ore was produced 86,-
058 fine ounces of silver. s The gold
was valued at $10,391,824, and the
ell: sr at $55,088. The land area of
tho Hollinger is 560 acres, yet be -
math this area there are more than
-00 miles of underground workings,
with electric locomotives hauling
trains of trucks,, and with rock crush-
ers worldng 1,550 feet below the sur-
face. There are 1,850 men employed
by this mine alone underground.
Even in gold mining the forest
bears a large part, the mine props at
Hollinger being brought from British
Columbia. These are of Douglas fir,
and are 12 by 18 inches, this lage
size being necessary to support the
enormous weight.
• When all this labor and expendi-
ture is necessary in order that from
2.7 tons of ore but one ounce of gold
may be secured, truly gold is rightly
classed as a precious Ingtal.

Trees.
The poplar is a soldier,
The beech tree is a queen,
The birch, the daintiest fairy
That tripped upon a green.
But there are only two trees
That set my heart astir,
They are the drooping larch tree
And the rough Scoteh fir.
The oak tree tells of conquest
And solid, dogged worth,
The elm of quiet homesteads
And peace upon the earth.
But oht my love and lady,
• Just two trees speak of her,
They are the swaying larch tree
And the rough Scotch fir.
They speak of shady woodlands,
They tell of windy heath,
Of branches spread above us
And crackling cones beneath.

And thee•ough Scotch fir.
