Brengold — C. W. Workmen, mine
manager 'Brengold Mines, Ltd., in a
wire to Local officials, states that the
cross -cut from the 100 foot level has
cut the No. 2 vein, which is at least
3. ft. 6 inches wide and well miner-
alized. He further reports that, on
)he 200 ft. level, the westerly drift
has been advanced anether GO feet
Ind continuous' still in ore. Twelve
lace samples have been taken and
sent out for assay. On this vein, the
No. 7. considerable slashing was done
to keep the vein in the face. The, ores,
states Mr. Workman, shows consid-
erably more mineralization with
free gold in evidence.
Lateral development is underway
on the 875 and 1,000 ft. levels at
Morris Kirkland Gold Mines and ore
has been encountered on the 1,000
level to the west with $7.10 over
8.6 ft. and $20.68 across five feet
secured in the first two rounds in the
main break. This is a new ore body,
T. C. Fawcett, mine manage reports,
and is opening up good possibilities
for the Iower levels. Work is also
being carried out to undercut the 706
and 708 orebodies as well as open
up the 1,125 -ft. level. Machinery
.foundations in .the mill are being
poured. The new headframe has
been erected, while the water reser-
voir and sub -station construction is
underway so that operation of the
new 100 -ton mill should be well up
to schedule.
In sinking the No. 2 shaft at La-
guna Gold Mines the vein entered
the shaft on the west side at 50 ft.
below the 750 -ft., level. The vein is
still in the shaft 12 ft. below where
it. entered. The average width
Is 46 inches over 12 ft. and the aver-
age grade is 2.67 ozs. or $93.45 per
ton, according to officials. This is
the finest show in the mine to date.
the mill is now handling 59 tons of
pre per day.
A new ore section has been enter-
ed in the west drift on the 500 -ft.
level at Green Stabell Mines, show-
ing average grade of $10 per ton
across width of 50 inches. The drift
has been in the ore for the last three
rounds, with the face still in it. So
far the west section is the best area
opened on the 500 -ft. horizon. •Two
,diamond drill holes put out from the
500 -ft. level intersected a new vein,
which will be further explored by
lateral work.
The development campaign at the
Advance Red Lake, Gold Mines prop-
erty in the Red' Lake area is pro-
gressing satisfactorily, M. Madsen,
president, states in a wire to local
fiitorests. Work is proceeding under
the direction of F. M. Smith, M.E.,
formerly with Mining Corporation,
and at present a crew of men are
working on three different breaks. -
High -grade ore from one of these
veins is being shipped from • the

A. M. Potter, engineer in charge
of operation at the Kirkland Lake
property of Moffat -Hall Mining Co.,
in a wire to local interests reports
that in sampling around the inside
of the stope on the 150 -ft. level, the
average ran $11 a ton in gold. A

Macdonald gang of men from, Glen-
garry was famous. They came, most
of them, from that strip of country
running back from the St. Lawrenceknown
through Glengarry County,
as the Indian Lands—once an In-
dian reservation."
This strip of land, says Mr: Car-
roll, was about two miles wide at
the western side of Glengarry bor-
deeing Stormont, and ran the full
length of the county. Deeds were
first granted to white men about 90
years ago.
survey of this stope is being made
to estimate the .amount of indicated
ore.
A new company, Derlalt (Red
Lake) Gold Mines Ltd, has been or-
ganized on the "Doc" Oakes claims
located adjacent to Rouge D'Or and
just north of Madsen Red Lake.
While the necessary legal work and
organization, a prelude to an offer-
ing of shares, is just in hand, it is
understood that 'applications in ex_
cess of 600,000 shares have been re-
ceived. The company is capitalized
at 3,000,000 shares, of which 750,-
000 were alloted to the vendors and
are pooled. While no discovery has
been made a picket line from the
4,000 -ft long Madsen break indicates
that if the discovery continued to
carry north it should pass through
the Oakes or hLrlak ground over a
two -claim width. K.B. Heisey, M.E.
will direct operation for the company.
At the annual meeting of share_
holders of Paymaster Consolidated
Mines held at South Porcupine, Sep-
tember 14th, the following were el-.
ected as officers of the company: E.
H. Walker, president and managing
director; A.S. Fuller, vice-president;
E. L. O'Reilly, secretary -treasurer;
A. W. Hodgetts, assistant secretary
and treasurer. The president stated
that production continued to increase
as evidenced by a bullion shipment
representing the first 10 days of uep-
tember amounting to $33,546. Mill -
heads averaged $10.19 during this
period.

Frustrating Burglars
Burglars, kidnappers and prowl-
ers can be frustrated in many in-
stances by use of the building
world's newest material, glass block
masonry. It is possible and prac-
tical now to construct,' for instance,
building foundations for a dwelling
by laying translucent glass block, pri-
marily to add more daylight for base-
ments without sacrificing privacy. By
keeping a few low -watt bulbs burn-
ing throughout the night in the base-
ment, preferably near the glass block
foundations, the silhouette of a prow-
ler outside the building is instantly
discernible to a night watchman mak-
ing his rounds of, an estate or to the
casual passerby, who might easily
be the one to give an alarm.

Sneezing Time
An. American magazine announced
last week that 1,500,000 hay -:fever
sufferers were on the move,' swamp-
ing rail and bus stations, steamship
offices end' hotel desks in pollen -free
districts. Many things besides pol-
len set people sneezing, but pollen is
the chief offender. The soft, yellow
;rains, when under a microscope.
look like miniature golf balls thickly
studded with spikes, says the Liter-
ary Digest, and "when these 'come in
contact with mucous membrane the
spikes jab, little holes through which
the pollen grain discharges a jelly-
like mass." The air of North Amer-
ico is charged with pollen from the
middle of August until the frost, and
hay -fever sufferers, of whom there
must be at least 2,500,000, begin to
have a most uncomfortable ' time.
Various cures have been offered, in-
cluding' injections of pollen, but the
best of them is simply to go where
there is no pollen. •. Yet, with all
America's transport facilities, this
cure is out of the question for very
many sufferers. Among, the causes of
this annoying malady the common
ragweed is by far the most prolific,
being responsible for more than ..all
other irritants combined. It is a -cur-
ious thing that no animals have hay-
fever. Before the year 1673 _medical
literature made no reference to the
disease among humans.
Eating Habits
The average Canadian firi,ily uses
three tines as much milk as the av-
erage New Zealand family, but, .'on
the other hand. it uses less butter
and cheese and only about half as
much meat observes the Winnipeg
Free Press.
Although the people of this some-
what cold northern country would
really be expected to eat a good deal'
of meat, the average ailment consune
ed per person in New Zealand and
Australia, both with balmier clim-
ates than Canada's, are 247 pounds
and 213 pounds respectively. Our an-
tipodean cousins should be good at
.heavy work and at sports that test
the athlete's strength.
The above facts are taken from
statistices published by the New
Zealand Government, which also
show that New Zealanders butter
their bread more thickly than do the
people of Great Britain. Australia
or Canada, but that when it conies
te, eating cheese our friends in Brit-
ain take first place. The average
consumption there is 9 1-2 pounds
per year, as against 3 3-4 in Canada.
We eat only half as much beef,
relatively, as the people of Australia
and New Zealand — though only a
little less than those in Britain
and we eat only a fraction of the
amount of mutton and lamb consum-
ed in the southern Dominions, but
Canadians are fond of pork, ham and
bacon. We eat 75 pounds per person,
as against 17 pounds in New Zea-
land, 19 pounds in Australia and 46
pounds in Britain. Canadians also
have a taste for poultry and eat a
good deal more than the New' Zeal-
anders.
Just how we compare in regard to
potatoes and spinach the story does
not tell.
Gold Production
OTTAWA, — A considerable .in-
crease was shown in production of
gold in July over the previous month
and also in comparison with the same
month in 1935, the Dominion Bureau
of Statistics reported recently.
The output amounted to 319,505 ozs.
against 316,670 the preceding month
and 285,703 in July last year.
Ontario led the provinces with a
production of.,201,392 ounces.

H sitital Grants
Province to Pay Only For the
Patients Without
Residence.
TORONTO. — A saving of about
t$150,000 to $200,000 a year to the
'Provincial government is foreseen
by Dr, B. T. McGhie, Deputy Mims_
ter of Health, in the change in hos_
pital gri,nts which becomes effective
Oct. 1.
Under the new plan hospitals will
no longer be allowed 60 cents a day
for all patients in public wards whe_
ther they are paying their $1.'75 a
day or not. The province, how-
ever, will grant hospitals $2 a day
for all "floaters", patients who have
no established residence and who
thus bring no revenue to the hos_
pital from the municipality.
The province Swill also allow the
60._cent-a„day grant as in the past
but only to those patients in public
wards wlio are unable to contribute
to their own care.
"We are taking the same posi_
tion as the municipalities," said Dr.
McGhio. "They have been eontrib_

ients, and v:di have added GO cents

ards the Solution
Of R rat S .. hoot Pr
(By Dr. J. H. Putman, Chief Inspec_
tof of Ottawa Public Sehools, in a
letter to the Toronto Globe.)
Of the 8,000 rural schools in On_
tario I am confident that thousand*
are good schools and well managed.
I am equally confident that not less
than 2,000 of them are inefficient
and wasteful, They are "parasites -
living upon the support of others
than those who receive their doubt_
ful benefits. By this I mean that
they exist largely upon Provinciai,
county or township grants, and that
the ratepayers of these small schools
contribute directly very little to
their support.
There are other thousands of rur-
al schools neither good nor baa,
whose efficiency could be doubled
at no extra cost under a better spa -
tern of school administration. Not
even 20 per cent. of all pupils en
rural schools are receiving efficient
instruction in music, art, physical ex_
ercise and handwork activities. Nor
are 20 per cent. .,f all rural schools
equipped with suitable libraries.
The lack is not because the teach_
ers are poor, or because the trust-
ees are not progressive and capable;
it is because the system of adminis_
tration is wrong.
In spite of the fact that the total
amount spent in Ontario for rural
Meng
secondary educaion is adequate, and
even generous, there are thousanot
of rural boys and girls who get littli
or no benefit from the expenditure,
either because they are remote front
a school or because the school genet
only academic courses. Again, th4
fault lies in the system of adminis4
tration.
Only through County Boards o1
some larger administrative unit the
we now have can these problems b
solved, and only through Cdt'int
Boards can the responsiblity of sole
ing these problems be placed where
it belongs—squarely on the should,/
ers of local school authorities.
Personally, I should have no obi
jection to a County Board of Edueae
tion, made up partly of co-opted
members, men and women interest,
ed in education. Members of County
Souncils, when charged with the re.;
sponsibility of educating boys and
girls would be just as capable and
generous as are the present Trustee'
Boards.
The inefficiency and exorbitant;
cost of the very small rural school
will soon force action of some kind.'
If local school authorities sidestep
the issue, the minister himself will!
have to act. The County Board'
would make possible the solution of
the problem in accord with local sen_1
timent.
PROBLEMS OF EVERY DAY LIFE
By Dr. M. M. Lappin
THE JEALOUS CHILD
"We have two children, both boys,
Jack is ahnost five and Edward is
just two. Jack seems to have a jeal-
ous, almost a cruel streak in him.
He resents me showing love to Ed-
ward, and he seems to take a delight
in teasing Edward. He is always
punching Edward when he gets a
chance and I have to watch him like
a hawk. If Edward is playing with
so .e toy, Jack will watch his oppor-
tunity and then take the toy away
from him. Do you think Jack will
grow out of this? Is there anything
I can do to help him grow out of it?"
It is not uncommon to fled the
first child develop a little jealousy
when the second appears, and that
is hardly to be wondered at, for the
child does not quite understand.. You
:co, for almost three years you lav-
ished your love upon Jack, then Ed-
ward came along and took up your
attention, and Jack, realizing that
Edward has, in a manner, come be-
tween you and him, and has hindered
you from giving him your undivided
attention as before, feels resentful,
and puts his spite out on Edward.
But I ani sure it is only a passing
phase and he will grow out of it.
There is much that you can do to
help him grow out of it and, if you
are wise, you will do all you can. To
allow this resentful feeling continue
in your child will certainly not be for
the child's good in later life, so you
must help him to get over it. Of
course, young children act, for the
most part, instinctively, and they
have to be trained to reason things
out and taught to see what is right
and what is wrong.
Part of that training in this case
will be making it clear to Jack that,
although Edward has come into the
hone, he still matters and you care
just as much for him as before, but
that Edward must be cared for also.
this connection,if you can get him
i to feel a sort of sense of responsibil-
ity as the elder brother, you will
have accomplished much. Of course,
you will ehave to be careful that you
do not give him the impression that,
now that Edward is here, you have
no time for him. He must not be
made to feel that he is 'left out in
the cold', and to avoid that, you will
have to try and show equal interest
in both.
In the long run, the whole problem
resolves itself to one of wise and
' careful training. Be patient,Lind rea-
son with the child, and restrain him
with love rather than reprimand,
wisely directing him- and encourag-
ing him in the good he does. Remem-
ber, your child is at a critical stage
in character formation, and yours is
the responsibility of making or mar-,
ring. Show the right way by deed:
and word. Be consistent in your et
ample, and I am sure your child will
respond. .
