(Canada) Ltd., Toronto & Montreal Financial News - ---zsesimmaramassNaulassi" "— Diamond trilling is underway on the Red Lake property of Russet Red Lake Syndicate. adjoining Mao sen Red Lake Gold Mines. The drill programme is being carried out by Howey Gold Mines, and it is under- stood that three more drills which have been released from the Mad- sen property may be moved onto the Russet claims this week. According to word from the property, two quartz veins have been located about 175 feet east of No. 4 post on .•faim 12822. The veins are reported to be dipping east and running nortneast —southwest and have been exposed owing to the fact that the ice level is about 2 ft. tower Llan the level of the water in the summer when this part of the property was previous- ly prospected. Dome Mires' dlrectote have de- clared the regular quarterly dividend of 50 cents per share, payable Jan- uary 20, 1937 to shareholders of rec- ord December 31st. Production at the mine for November totalled $664,728 from the treatment of 46,- 700 tons of ore, as against recovery of $685,373 from 48,000 tons milled in October. November millheads av- eraged $14.23 per ton, compared with $14.28 in the preceding month. Macassa Mines reports production for November of $102,810, a slight decrease from the output of $105,- 842 105;842 in the preceding month. The mill treated 6,074 tons of ore, with mill - heads averaging $16.92 per ton, against 6,267 tons milled averaging $16.86 in October. For the first eleven ne.nths of the current year output ,.otalled $1,132,268 from 64,- 401 tons created, as compared with $696,385 from 61,607 tons in the same period of 1935. Drifting on the No. 8 level at Kenlaud Gold Mines, Lake of the Woode area, has been cr.rried 31 feet in ore averaging 11 feet wide and $2,319 in gold per ton. The old plant bas been modernized; by aaai- tion of .ball mill, classifier and flo- tation unit, and is expected produc- tion this a onth will approximate $25,000, The plant is capable of handling about 60 tons daily and is operating satisfactorily. On No. 9 level, Gilding Johnson, mine man- ager, reports a length of 280 ft. of ore, with widths varying from 6 to 18 ft. and average of around $18 per ton. The vein has been traced on surface fur half a mile. Wendigo Gold Mines, Lake of the Woods area, has now been complete- ly dewatered to below the 500 -ft. level, making it possible to carry on work on this horizon, according to word received from A. M. Potter, mine manager. Old timbers were re- moved during the dewatering from the 300 -ft. level down, ano new tim- bering is being done from this level to the 500 -ft. horizon. This will com- plete the enlarging and timbering of the present shaft. The mill is cur- rently handling 65 tons of ore daily. Laguna Gold Mines, operating in the Herb Lake area, Northern Man- itoba, reports production for Novem- ber of $38,674, a new high record for the mine, and a substantial in- crease over the immediate preceding month. Total production since- milling commenced on Aug. 1 to the end of November amounts to approximately $128474. Average. daily production is now in excess of 60 tons, while the mill is tuned up to obtain an extraction of slightly better than 98 per cent. Deepening of the main shaft has reached the 1,000 ft. level where a station has been established and lateral work will be underway shortly to open up two .new levers at 875 and 1,000 ft. SYDNEY, N.S. — Playing "hook- ey" from school has lost much of its fascination for pupils in industrial Cape Breton schools, Juvenile Court Judge A. D. Campbell has donated attendance trophies th schools in six communities. In Glace Bay, Sydney North Sydney, Sydney Mines and New Waterford, the classroom re- porting the best monthly attendance record retains the trophy. Besides Mayor F. L. Kelley, North Sydney, has awarded a cup to the town that shows the best yearly attendance record. This trophy is •a permanent award. The results are exceptionally good, officials say: Britain's Post Jffice Savings Bank has just celebrated its seventy-fifth anniversary with 10,000,000 depos- itors. "Scouting for Boys", by Lord Baden-Powell, the original Boy Scouts' textbook, has run through 24 editions in the English language, and is still the world's best boys' book seller. The picking of apples for Saskatche- wan families by Boy Scouts of Brit- ish Columbia had its counterpart in England this fall, when boys ox Herefordshire and Worcestershire picked surplus apples for the people of the distressed areas of Wales. Still "young and very fit" at 79, Lord _3aden-Powell is planning a trip to India, when lie will visit the first All -India Boy Scout Jamboree to be held at Delhi, February 1st to 7th next.

An interviewer was informed that Folkstone hotel keepers are making special efforts to give such jobs, with courses at the model ho- tel, to boys from districts hard hit by unemployment. The boys learn cooking, practice and theory, spoken English and. gym - nasties. The maids' course includes all nor- mal hitel duties, from room service to serving at table, as well as spoken English, needlework nursing and, the organizers of the scheme say, "anything else they show a wish to learn" The plan is receiving much aten- tion in British hotel circles and it is hoped to start similar "colleges for kitchen boys" in other towns. Meanwhile Folkestone is looking forward with pride to the outcome of the training of its college -boy bell -hops.

Issue No. 51 -- '36 D-1 Going `Practical" The Board of Education of Pauls- boro,' N.J., has decided to give up in• structign in foreign languages and confine the efforts of its public salient system to fitting :students for "life", observes the Baltimore .Sun. This means, according to the Board of Education, making better house- wives of the girls and more efficient workers of the boys. This ought to bring on a let of talk, reviving in new form that old argument as to the "practical" side or the classics which was raging 2b years ago when the revolt against the disciplinary function of Latin and Greek reached widespread pro- portions, It is probably true that the high ,school at Patilsboi o, N.J., can- not provide instruction as complete and diversified as that encountered at Oxford of the Sorbonne, but that does not dispose of the fact that the CIGARETTE PAPERS None Finer Made Paulsboro school auth.,cities .seem content with a somewhat limited def- inition of "life" and with a not ix- actly all -embracing view of the function of a housewife or a worker in the local industries. After all, there Is no harm in a Paulsboro housewife knowing that in France they speak French even if she hears the language spoken by an earnest normal -school graduate who has never been there. Nor would it materially lessen the efficiency •of a Paulsboro worker to hart been rushed through Cicero's "De Senei- tute", thus learning something more about old age than can be acquired by signing up for an old.age pen- sion. In Paulsboro even trigonom- etry is too "impractical" to be taught it the high school. Whatever the local difficulties which account for the Paulsboro view of the function of public edu- cation, it is plain that, had the world been content with the Paulsboro idea all these centuries, the race would have got only a little way out of the swamps. Bankers Are Optimis- tic On Canada's Economic Outlook Bank of Montreal Executives Dis- cuss Economic Questions That the Bank of Montreal is in an extremely strong position and has further buttressed its reserves and that the economic outlook in Canada warrants greater confi- dence than for several years past, were features emphasized at the annual meeting of shareholders of the institution, held recently in Montreal. Both the president, Sir Charles Gordon, G.B.E. and W. A. Bog, joint general manager, stressed the abundant evidence that the -forces of recovery are now in the ascendant, and dwelt on the feel- ing of confidence which they found prevailing in every phase of the Dominion's economic activity. Sir Charles Gordon, president, in his address named as the five fundamental features outstand- ing in Canada's progress during the past year: the recovery in ag- riculture, the extraordinary activi- ty in mining, the all-time record in newsprint production, the grati- fying increase in the tourist trade, and the striking expansion in our extort trade. He dwelt particularly on the mining industry which, according to a recent survey by the bank, would seen to be "the greatest contributor to the federal income tax." Better Things Ahead For Canada He had a word of warning re- garding provincial legislation in relation to debts, saying in res- pect to talk of repudiation that he could not see how this line of thought could he pursued without the credit of the whole Dominion coming into disrepute. Sir Charles closed his remarks on an optimistic r.ote, saying: "We still have problems to face but, as regards these problems I stand squarely on the opposite side of the fence from the pessimists and T believe that, with the experience gained in th past few years, we in Canada will steadily work our way toward better things." 13ank's Position Extremely Strong Presenting the 119th annual bal- ance sheet of the Bank, W. A. Bog, on behalf of himself and Jackson Dodds, his fellow general manager, drew attention to the fact that the total assets of the bank had increased from $792.800,- 000 a year ago to $805,100,000 at the present time, and pointed out that the extremely stroni, position of the bank was reflected in quick assets totalling $606,500,000, re- presenting 83.27% of all liabilities to the public. In informing the meeting' of the transfer of $1,000,- 000 to reserve account, bringing this up to $89,000,000, Mr. Bog, said that this sum was held as a protection for the bank's deposit- ors. "That is to say," he remark- ed, "as protection for deposit lia- bilities we have not only 100% in conservatively valued assets, but in addition we have assets repres- enting -836,000,000 of capital and $39,000.000 in reserve ' account." Savings Interest Rate Mr. Bog expressed regret that it had been found necessary to reduce to 114% per atm hm the rate of in- terest paid on savings deposits, say- ing the reduction had been made with reluctance, and it was only the continued decline in the yield on securities and the low' level of commercial loans that had com- pelled the banks to take the tetep, Urges Higher Living Gauge Toronto. — Eradication of "cold sickness, suffering" and the raising of the standard of living in Canada were urged by Dr. W. R. Colbeck, Welland president of the Ontario Medical. Ate sociation, in addressing the Social Hygiene Club here. Dr. Colbeck said misery produced revolutions and something had to ba done or there would be trouble in tha Dominion. He declared it was a matter of prime Importance for the safety of Canada that something be done im- mediately and not "put off until next year" to make life easier for the man on the street. At the present time, he added, the world was entering a period of pros- perity but it wars certain this would go u,1 until another slump would fol- low. Canada, therefore, should pre- pare for the future. He asked what was being done about unemployment insurance and health comfort of the people. He ex' •pressed the belief so long as the• masses were in a comfortable post-' tion they were "the most docile erea-, tures." Farm Implement And Car Imports Up OTTAWA — The Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics recently reported marked gains in imports during Oe tober of automobiles and farm nn- plements in comparison with figures for October, 1935. Biggest value increase was it automobile imports, $779,000 cora pared with $136,000. The valpe re presented import of 1,020 units coma pared with 180 a year before. its ports of parts declined from $2,809, 000 to $1,826,000 in value A good gain in imports of trac tion engines helped boost the fig ures for farm implements, the Bur eau said. They rose from 3179,052 to $503,412. Classified Advertising DOGS WANTED DOGS WANTED --WILL BUY PUPPIES' 02 all breeds. Write letter with full particu• tars, breeds, sex, age, colour.
