The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Department of the In- terior at Ottawa says:— "Like looking for a needle in a hay- stack"' isan 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, ybecause the gold content of the ore., is so small that only by the most efficient meth- ods can It be recovered at a cost to 'warrant development. Canada's largest gold mine, .the Hollinger Consolidated, at Timmins, in. Northern Ontario; in order .to se- ely: ? one -.bund of gold,' must handle. 2.+ tons of ore. • When itis remember- ed that the gold occurs in small par - tic -es, it will be appreciated how intri- the separation process must be. La: t year Hollinger Consolidated mine 1 1,866,362 tons of ore, from which 'Me 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. The gold was valued at .$4391;324, and the at '155,088. Vie land area of the Hollinger is 560 acres, yet be- ncsth this area there are more than. 60 miles of underground workings, with • electric locomotives hauling trains of trucks, and with rock crush- ers working 1,560 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 large size being necessary to support the enor"moua 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 goldis rightly classed as a precious metal. 'Returned Duly Labelled.

Many people who read the Royal Proclamation by which the• King'- on going abroad -delegated certain of his powers, must have been puzzled by the quaint . wording. • "Right •Treaty C'oanseilors" - and "Well -beloved Cousins" seem to an - pear every line or so, and the ordlimay man, hardly recognized at .all some of, the great personages named as royal 'cousins, • Asp a matter of fact, they aren't royale cousins. The "cousin" is sanely a sur- vival of an old•title. Centuries ago one of our Dings was related in some degree to every Earl in the land. If there wee no direct re- lationship, be could claim a dousinship of 'sorts, through --his mother and her relations; his wife and hers, or his sis ter's husbands: So every, 'Earl was addressed as the King's "cousin." If Earls were Kings' cousins, then' surely; their superiors could be no less, and the relations -hip, though simply used as the, courtesy of a formai title, was extended to Duke's and Marques- ses, and then, later 'on, to „Viscounts as well. Perhaps• it is, because the type of Royal Proclamation mentioned is ,so rare that we' notice ' he "cousin," for. 'really these courtesy'rel-afionshii;s are not so very uncommon after all. Kings, for instance, are always "brother" to one anothez, as alto aro, judges. And the "brother" and "sis- te;:'." of church commueitie and friend- ly societies we know' quite' well. In the old days of *the Fir East, the - Erhperor was "Cousin of the Sun." Nearer our times, the y French "Prince of Wales" was officially the "Son of Frande."
