More prospectors than ever before dre scouring the rocks of the pre- Cambrian shield which stretches from Saskatchewan deep into the province of Quebec, searching for indications of hidden wealth. More electrical surveys arc being made to ascertain the presence of mineralization. More diamond drills are picreing the rocks, Not only in mining but in forestry also the plans this summer are un- precedented in their scope and tho- roughness. The undertakings of for- estry branches of the Dominion and rovincial governments and the am- hitious program being undertaken by the private lumber companies to prove up Canada's timber wealth out- strip any other year, The same can be said with respect to scarch after water-power possibilities. This probing of the great areas of unoccupied lands of the Dominion is evident by the floods of requests which poured in, particularly during May to the topographical survey of the Department of the interior, for maps and aerial photographs. This branch is now able to provide the ap- plicants with information which a few years ago would have heen im- possible, It gives the prospector prints to show him just the kind of country he is going into; whether he should travel by canoe or on foot, where the rocks are on the susface and where they are "overburdened" with soil, Those wishing information about the timber resources of certain limits get maps that tell what portions are wooded, where it is dense, where the trees are sparse, as well as photo- graphs of the landscape. It is esti- mated that this has reduced the ef- fort necessary to scale timber to one- fifth what it was a few years ago. Thus while the number actually en- gaged in exploration work has been increased, the effectiveness of each man has been Plultiplied by the newly developed aids, The topographical survey hopes this summer to photograph from the air 100,000 square miles of at present unmapped districts of Capada. Of course the total will depend upon the visibility at the various points where the 18 planes are at work. The work of plotting the photographs and de- veloping maps from them will go forward at headquarters here as the plates arrive. To accurately map 100,000 square miles under the old system of survey would have taken many years if at all possible, but ae- rial photography and the complemen- tary science of transferring the in- formation of the photograph on to maps, have revolutionized surveying. The aerial photography will go on in every province. In the extreme west, the greatest task is in the Fra- ser river district from Lytton to Fort George, B.C, together with the en- tire water-shed north and west of that point. The district around Sica- mous, B.C, is also to be covered to ascertain its timber resources, Further East planes will be work- ing in the districts of Red Lake, Rice Lake, Fayorable Lake, Flin Flon, Cold Lake, Lac La Rouge, Reindeer Lake, Muskoka Lake, Sudbury, Rouyn, Chibougamau Lake, the head- quarters of the Gatineau River, Lake & Jobn in New Brunswick, and in the 'timber sections of Nova Scotia. The Forestry Branch of the De- partment of Interior has requisitioned for maps showing the timber re- sources of 30,000 square miles around the northern end of Lake Winnipeg. Of this 12000 square miles will have to be Photographed. ae remainder has already been done. Many Suggest ame for Being Erected That Oshawa's néw hotel will be well named, is in- dicated by the stack of let- ters that Mayor Preston has received from would-be win- ners of that century bill. Al- though the contest was to have closed on June 10th, it has been extended until noon tomorrow, Wednesday, when the replies will be turned over to the committee for consid- eration. There are certainly a large number of letters in the pile of mail the Mayor has received, and when it is con- sidered that most of the let- ters contain two or three, or perhaps more, suggestions, it is seen that the committee will have more than a few minutes' work sorting them out. The committee is com- posed of G. W, McLaughlin, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce; G. D. Conant, president of the Rotary Club, and A, J.

WIFE TAKES POISON AS HUSBAND IS SENTENCED TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT Paris, June 11 ~-- Within the halls of the Palais De Jus- tice Friday, one member of a family was sentenced to life im- prisonment, another attempted to commit suicide, and a third was ar- rested for complicity in a brutal murder. A jury found Charies Mestorino, a jeweller, guilty of kill- ing a colleague, Gaston Trupheme, and he was sentenced to prison for life. While the jury was deliberat- ing, the wife of the prisoner, Mme. Mestorino, swallowed poison in an adjoining room and was taken to the hospital in a serious condition. As soon as the verdict was re- turned, Mile. Suzanne Charnaux, young sister-in-law of the jeweller, was arrested for her part in the murder. Scarcely has a trial created such a4 sensation since the Landrau case. Soon after Mestorino was ar- brother-in-law and that tne murder was committed out of jeal- ousy. Paris juries are notoriously lenient in cases involving such crimes. On the witness stand, how. ever, the woman changed her testi- mony and admitted no cause for jealousy. She declared she saw the murder committed and confessed to buying the cloth in which Trup- heme's body was wrapped and burned. Four other employes of the same establishment~--a girl, two men, and a boy--admitted at the trial that. they had seen Mestorino beat Trupheme to death, although im the police investigation they denied all knowledge of the crime. - Lengthy Judgment Says New Laws May Hamper Freedom R. C. Schools Case Concerned Claims of Separate Schools Trus- tees from Adverse Decis- ions in Canadian Courts in Demands Against Pro- vince of Ontario ENDS DISPUTE EIGHT YEARS OLD Appellants Representing All Ontario Separate Schools Contended R. C. School Supporters Were Not Bound to Aid Upkeep of High Schools and Colleg- iates -- Several Other Claims (Cable Service To The Times By Canadian Press) London, June 12.--Though the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council today dismissed the appeal of the Separate Schools Trustees of Tiny Township, Ontario, their Lordship near the end of the lengthy judgment said: "It may he that the pew laws hamper the freedom of Roman Catholics in their denominational schools, They may eonceivably be or have been subjected to injustice of a kind that they can submit to the Governor-General in the council and through him to the Parlia- ment of Canada." The judicial committee dismiss- ed the appeal from adverse deci- sions in Canadian courts on their claims against the Province of Ontario. Representing all Ontario Sep- arafe schools, the appellants had contended that certain sections ot the Ontario Educational Act were "ultra vires"'--that Roman Cath- olics had a right to establish Sep arate high schools and collegi- ates; that Roman Catholic schoo' supporters were not bound to con- tribute to the upkeep of undenom- inational high schools and colle- giates and that they were entitled to a share on the basis of average of attendance in public grants to the schools. Dismissal of these claims is the culmination of a dispute begin- ning in 1920, when the Provinen® Government began to put back in- to consolidated revenue, unearned grants in connection with educa- tion in the province. The sum in- voived amounted to almost $50,- 000, which was paid into court by the Attorney General. The case arose when trustees prepared a petition of rights in which they made a number of claims. This petition was dismissed by Mr. Justice Rose of the Ontario High Court at Toronto. His judgment was confirmed by the appellate division of the Ontario supreme court and a further ap- peal to the supreme Court of Canada also was dismissed. The appellants last December were granted special leave to appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and argument was heard for and against at intervals from February 21 to March 8 last when judgment was reserved.

Incineration of this material was suggested, and a spe- cial meeting of the Board will be called to consider the plans for this disposal if they are prepared be- fore the next regular meeting. This action will be taken to eliminate as far as possible odours from vege- table matter in the dump, The secretary of the Board was instructed to advise the T., Eaton Co, that the 6-pound lead waste pipe which they haye been supplying here is not allowable under city by- aws, which do not permit the use of less than 8-pound pipe. The company is being asked to co-op- erate with the Board by not supply. ing 6-pound pipe to local builders. The Board has decided to pur- chase a new Ford coupe for the use of the public health nurses, in exchange for the coupe at present in use. A similar exchange has been made each year for the past few years, The nuisance at Lakeview Park caused by the public lavatory thére came to the attention of the Board through the report of the sanitary inspector, and the Board recom- mended to the Parks Commission that a matron be appointed to take charge of the Ladies' rest room and toilet at the Lake, in order to elim- : inate, in some degree, the nuisance which exists.
