Zurich Herald, 1934-10-18, Page 7NQW— A THICKER HEAVIER PLUG FOR THE SAME MONEY: =4'113 w If you want more for your money, chew -- THE PERFECT Chewing Tobacco improvement In Manitoba Winnipeg,—Manitoba's farm pic- ture is definitely brighter than for several years past, says the Win- nipeg Tribune in a newspage story. Basing the statement on opinions ob- tained from bankers and mortgage officials the paper says the farmers have regained faith and confidence in the future. Demand for Manitoba Durum wheat and malting barley has lifted the far- mer out of the slough. Prices for grain were better this year, the paper says and threshing was finished early. A mortgage company official said scores of farmers were paying off in- terest and principal whereas in form- er years they had been unable to pay anything. A branch bank in a large rural town backed $91,000 of farmers' money one day this fall, the Tribune adds. All implement company officials said farmers were buying repairs again and paying cash, Many of them were paying something on old out- standing accounts. A general storekeeper in a small municipality said for three days in a row his business was better than for any day last year. Farmers added- their voice to the cheerful chorus. Things were bound to be better where there have been crops, they said. "We expect this year's debts to be paid and believe there will be a reduction on old notes," one said. An insurance company executive said conditions were definitely better, 9t is not legislation that will help the farmer," he declared. "All he ,wants is a reasonable production and a chance to market it," Only the drought -harries: south- west section of Manitoba gave a sombre touch to the picture.

FINANCIA Mining Development ' and Prospects Great Bear Lake Area .A keen international interest is be- ing evidenced in regard to the silver producers and prospects created by favorable markets with rising price levels for the white metal, Since Cobalt, thirty years ago, the silver discoveries of the Great Bear area have outranked, in tonnage and contained values, any other new sil- ver camp in any part of the world. This area has been frequently liken- ed to a great treasure chest of rare minerals by reliable, seasoned min- ers who are riot given to a superlative use of descriptive adjectives. Old C'o- balters compare that "wonder camp" as a poor second to probabilities of the Great Bear area, Where Cobalt's veins, averaged inches in width, with comparatively short lengths, and where shallow seated, Great Bear's will show feet in width, great con- tinuous vein lengths with acknowl- edged indications that the veins will experience great depths. The mine run of ore contains high silver values sufficient to provide great net profits above the unusual high mining trans- portation and ore treatment costs, Ore chutes of phenomenally rich ore are encountered with a silver content as high as 10,000 ounces per ton. Co- balt's best hardly equalled this, Supplementing the silver, the Great Bear ores contain a rich pitchblende carrying a radium content, the equal of any radium ore being mined to- day. On account of geographical loca- tion the transportation costs are ex- cessive. With expanding cline opera. tions these costs have already, in three years' time, been cut in two and will be further reduced to a point in line with normal production costs. Great Bear is rapidly, progressing from the 'pioneer discovery phase" of a new camp to that of a camp with at least three properties in or nearing the productive stage. A source of electric power available locally has been surveyed, possibilities estimated ad plans are being prepared to util- ize this power in the near future. Transportation problems will be solv- ed with railroad construction _just as soon as the camp demonstrates that there is sufficent income to warrant the expenditures of consttie1r and operation. Reliable engineers and executives predict that .-lis will be taken care of in the near future, The Great Bear area has positively passed the initial hazardous pioneer period, always experienced by new mining camps, and will, without doubt, pro- gress rapidly to the position of an established community. Complement to the main Great Bear silver area, the Yellowknife, a new discovery of rich gold has been partially. developed, and the Hattah Lake area, a rich uranium oxide and pitchblende discovery (ores o1' radi- um) both located south of Great Bear and on the probable railroad line to be constructed, Among the several properties being worked three have reached an advanc- ed stage of mining development. The Eldorado Mine has erected a modern ruining plant and mill, the latter sup- plemented by a reflninfi plant for ra- dium and silver ore at Port Colborne, Ont, Underground development has put quite a tonnage of high grade ore in sight besides providing for all mill requirements. Exploratory mining work has indicated new and greater bodies of rich ores which will provide ore tonnage for expan- ding mine operations and definitely establishing the permanency of Eldor- ado as a profitable producer. The White Eagle Silver Mine has erected a mining plant and has de- finitely established a tonnage of ore reserves which warrant the construc- tion of a mill, the installation of which is planned for the immediate future. The B,E,A,R, Mine at Contact Lake has installed a mining plant follow- ing a considerable amount of surface exploration work, supplemented by several thousand feet of diamond drilling. Under -ground development work by means of a 500 -foot adit tun- nel and a two compartment winze sunk 100 feet below the adit level floor with lateral workiugs from this horizon, has established a tonnage of high-grade silver and radium ore that warrants a greatly expanded under- ground mining development campaign and the construction of a mill, The Mine Manager is at present in To- ronto in consultation with the man- agement in regard to plans for en- larged mine operations and mill con- struction. B.E.A.R, holds a 50% egmiity in the Yellowknife Gold Mines where surface mining explorat- ing work has resulted in discoveries of gold -bearing veins which system- atic sampling has given gold values and width of -veins which make the Yellowknife a discovery of major importance—as illustrative: Trail sampling provides the following: Sample A—Across 6 feet gave $51.80 gold per ton, Sample B—Across 6 feet gave $47,25 gold per ton. Sample C—Across 36% feet gave $9.70 per ton, The Great Bear area holds every promise of equalling and perhaps sur- passing "Cobalt" as a "Wonder" sil- ver producer. It may appear to be a distant pioneer today, but events move quickly. Such worth -while mer- its in profitable mine possibilities make the present handicaps but in- cidental and they will soon belong to the limbo of the past. Another Staking Rush Paul Michell, an Indian, is report- ed to have brought in rich samples from a find made on the west• side of Lake Nipigon, about in line with the new Sturgeon River field, A new staking rush has started to the area, which lies about 65 miles north of, Port Arthur. All available planes have been chartered for trips into the field and many prospectors are also going in by beat across Lake Nipi- gon, In the meantime, reports from the Sturgeon River field continue to bring news of strikes on the various pro- perties and enthusiasm runs high. Building Contracts Increase According to figures compiled by Maclean Building Reports, Ltd„ con- tracts awarded for the month of Sep- tember amounted to $12,494,000, as compared with $S,1186,900 for the same month in 1933, or an increase of 49%. The total for the first nine months of the current year was $98,- 145,100, which is an increase over the same period last year of 54%, when the figures were $63,430,700. Ac- cording to the report there is more work now under way than at any time In the past two years, Siscoe Gold Mines Ltd. For the nine months ending Sep- tember 30th this company Is report- ed to have earned net profit, after all charges, of $903,048, equal to about 19 cents per share on tbe out standing capital stook.

Burwash, former gov- ernment geologist and president of this company, in a wire to local offi- cials states, that he has staked 24 claims situated on Yellowknife Bay on which a quartz vein varying in width from one to twenty-four inches, has been uncovered with free gold visible at points along a Length of 180 feet. Major Burwash adds that he is staking more claims to cover the area, which will bring the total number of claims staked up to 80. The company bas already made substantial progress with surface ex- ploration on its original holdings in the Great Slave Area, and has traced a vein on this holding for some dis- tance with high grade values bring obtained over good widths. GAS, INDIGESTION Ir you're troubled with stomach dis- tress, gas, and your blood needs enriching there's nothing so good as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. W. J. Henderson of 276 Adelaide St., London, Ont,, said: "I suffered so badly from indiges- tion I would double up with pain.

New size, tablets 50 els, liquid $100, Large size, • tabs, or liquid, -$1.351, All druggists, Silver Holds .Attention Keen interest is still evident in the price for the"white metal" and earlier forecasts of higher prices seem to be materializing,, The price in both London and New York has hit a pew high point for over five years, and further advances are being an- ticipated by producers and economists. Buying by the United States gov- ernment is undoubtedly the main factor in the present advance and as they have only purchased a compar- atively small proportion of the amount necessary to bring their cur- rency backing up to the 25-75% ratio as authorized by Presidem, Ro- osevelt earlier in the year. The i president's recent speech did not. make mention of either gold or sliver , so that the way appears to be left 1 clear for further inflation. At pre- sent the government bond problem has been the chief barrier against fore positive silver or gold inflation, but it is expected that this situation will be clarified ere long after which it seems to be likely that further in- flationary steps will be taken. At least that seems to be the consensus of opinion among leading financiers and economists. The United States situation is of distinct importance to Canada, particularly as it applies to silver and gold, as any further tink• ering along the lines taken earlier in the year, will react to the benefit of our mining industry. It will be in- teresting to, note what action is eventually taken in view of the fore- casts which have been made by some of the world's leading economists. Russian Harvest Averages Normal, Soviets 'I► ec1are Collectivization Credited With Offsetting Bad Weather Moscow — Russia's harvest this year will approximate last year's good crop yield, despite spring droughts, according to first govern- ment reports issued here and con- firmed by impartial agricultural ex- perts. Preliminary reports indicate the average yield is about 10 bushels per acre which is considered a normal crop in Russia. The autonomous Caucasian Re- publics reaped the richest harvest, averaging about 40 bushels. North Caucasus and Volga grain regions averaged about 15 bushels. Eastern Ukraine, which the Monitor corre- spondent has just toured, was the hardest hit by the drought. Kiev district, however, profited by the late rains and expects a harvest in excess of last year's. Superior organization of collec- tivized agriculture and various con- cessions to idividoal peasants this spring are credited with accomplish- ing the unexpectedly good harvest despite unfavorable weather. Par- ticular credit is due to the so-called "Politotdels" or political sections of the Communist Party consisting of carefully selected groups of urban Communists who have worked in agricultural villages. These Hien and women, working directly under the Kremlin, were in- structed to win the peasants' confl- 'dence and guard against previous abuses, By instituting new humane methods in the villages and convinc- ing the peasants they now have "friends at court," these political sections have accomplished more toward voluntary collectivization than all their more ruthless predecessors, it is said. The Government considers this year's harvest successes as final proof that complete collectivization will be possible by 1837 as stipulated in the second five-year plan. Partly through a new spirit of confidence in the Government's intentions, and artly through pressure exerted by tax advantages which are given to collectivized peasants, many hesi- tant individual peasants undoubtedly will be induced to join the collec- tives during the coming months. The Monitor correspondent discovered many evidences of this in touring the Ukrainan villages. An optimist is a husband who thinks he is going to finish an argu- ment started by his wife. Doubled Up With Rheumatism Could Not Wash Hirnsell' Nor Brush His Hair So bad was his rheumatism that his friends declared he would never work again, Although he is 70 years old, he proved they were wrong. Read what he says:— "I am seventy years of age, Last Christmas I was completely doubled up with rheumatism. I could not brush my hair nor wash myself. People said I should never work any mare, 1 am working harder than a young man today. Thanks, many thanks to Kruschen Salts. I take them in my tea, and I have recom- mended them to many, 1 could not get in or out df bed myself, nor sit up. But see me work now -12 hours a day sometimes. Kruschen Salts have done it."—G. J. Rheumatic conditions are the re- sult of an excess of uric acid in the body. Two of the ingredients of Kruschen Salts have the power of dissolving uric acid crystals. Other ingredients assist Nature to expel these dissolved crystals 'through the natural channel. In addition, there are still other salts in Kruschen which prevent food fermentation in the intestines, and thereby check the further accumulation not only of uric acid, but of other body poisons which undermine the health. F1ngerprrts Montreal—Dr, Rosario Fontaine has raised the ante in this matter of the probability of two persons hav- ing identical fingerprints. Smiling to reporters and quoting a textbook written by Dr. V. Bah thazard, dean of the University of Paris and founder of the ballistic system. Dr. Fontaine said: "The sun has time to become frigid and the world in general to pass away, or to be more exact, it would take 2,000,000,000,000,000,000 centuries before your fingerprint will be similar to those of somebody else. "Within this trifling number of years," said Dr. Fontaine, who is regarded as perhaps Canada's most distinguished criminologist, "it would be impossible to meet identical fingerprints. "The average lifetime of a gener- ation is one-half century and, in consequence, it is possible to calcu- late that approximately 5,000,000,000 human beings live throughout a century, Each individual provides the world with 10 personal finger- prints, thus making it possible for scientists or experts to secure, if necessary, 50,000,000,000 fingerprints in 100 years." Testifying in court, Dr. Fontaine gave the conservative estimate that the odds against similar fingerprints_, were 64,000,000,000 to one.
