PRIEST GAVE CLUE TO GEOPHYSCIST Jesuit's Book Gave Hint of Great Bear Lake Deposits Winnipeg.--A book writen by a Jesuit priest, a missionary in the Northwest Territories 50 years ago, gave T. G. Donovan, a De- troit geophysicist and prospector, the clue that led him to the dis- covery of valuable mineral depos- its in the Great Bear Lake area, far north of Edmonton and within 20 miles of the Arctic circle. Mr. Donovan, in Winnipeg re- cently en route to Ottawa to con- fer with Dominion geologists on a rich find in uranium oxide, the parent ore of radium and silver, told of his adventures and the preparations he made before his "Don't get the idea thal it is like picking up, a million dollars on the street," he said to news- "Before I went out there I spent six months in preparations.

Later I obtained Dom- inion Government reports, so that I knew where I was going before I started. "The priest was dead right in what he said about the north country. At the moment I can not remember his name, I firm- ly believe that the district around Great ar Lake is the most high- ly mineralized in the world. Of course a great deal of prospect- ing will be necessary yet before any definite extent of the ore bod- ies gai 'be obtained." y Provide Helium SR --Thomas G.

Build Up Front Line and Discover a Smart Centre Forward Who Scores Both Goals --Team Plays Well And Deserved a Victory Oshawa Nats travelled to To- ronto on Saturday to play Beach- es United in a Major League game, Boyd won the toss for the Nats and sent his men to play down the hill with the sun in his favour. Nats immediately took up the offensive and hemmed the h~me- sters into their own goa:? An- derson and the new centre, Loug- las, have the toughest of luck, hitting the woodwork. All against the run of play a break away by Beaches resulted in Herdman being beaten, by an unsaveable shot, Three minutes later the same player added another and the Nats seemed rattled, as Boyd's knee gave out and was carried off the field, then the new centie Douglas, was knocked oat, though it was only accidents and referee J. Lamb had an easy time handi- ing the game. The Nats now set the pace, vith Boyd back in the field, and McLean with a long pass sent Murphy away on the right wing, Douglas met his cross first tims and the home goaltender never saw it enter the net, Now the game became a scorch. er and Beaches were defending at all cost, and with a gooa bit of luck held out till halt time, Beaches 2, Nats 1. The second half started as the first half finished with a deter- mined Nats team, shots rained around the home goal, Grant, An- derson and Douglas getting the uprights and seemed to have no luck. A nice cross from Anderzon to Douglas, saw that player tie up the score with a terrilic left foct drive, The Nats have mad» a great discovery in Douglas, who can shoot with either foot. ceeding to Ottawa to confer with the Government and thence to New York after which he will re- turn to Great Bear to spend the winter. At present the only mode of ac" cess to this country is by air- plane and already uranium is be- ing transported by this means.

Kl t provides an un- Bi The Beaches were now playing carefully to save the game, and played a defensive game. Tigert of Beaches caught on to a ball about 8 minutes from time, and ran through Nats cCe- fence and was slipping past Ros- ser, when Herdman left his goal and brought off a great save. This was the only time they looked like scoring in the second per- fod. The Nats finished strong and just on time Anderson shot, and a defender saved with his hand but Referee Lamb didn't see it, and when Douglas struck the crossbar on time, it seemed that Nats would have to be content with a draw. All Nats players played well. Full time Hae Nats 2, Beaches 2. BASEBALL RESULTS INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE Won Lost P.C.

Cleman's Péntormance was en- tirely up to advance notices. He took the lead at the start, made his own paca threughout and lapped 'every competitor in the Lage with the eataptic of Ron His time was 1 His time of' 13 minutes, 54 2-5 seconds displaces the old mark held by George Goulding gince July 23, 1910, of 14 minutes, 7 2-56 seconds. Incidentally, George Goulding, the former record-hold- er, judged the event on Saturday and immediately following the event signed the application for a new record which deprives him of the mark which has stood so iong in his name. Perhaps the most pleasing fea- ture of the meet to the enthusi- asts in attendance, was the des- patch with which the meet was conducted. There were no de- lays, track events and field com. petitions being held at the same time, with the result that the last field event finished only a few minutes after the last race on the track. The attendance, how- ever, was not in keeping with the competition. Several reasons might be advanced for apparent lack of interest, but it would ap- pear that (%e lack of outstanding stars in feature events was to no emall extent accountable for the small attendance, Two double winners were re- turned during the day. Juex Fortland, elongated Collingwood High School athlete, repeated his success of a year ago in the run- ning high jump and the running hop, step and jumpy, winning the former with 6 feet %-inch and tho latter with a leap of 43 feet 3 inches. Abe Zvonkin, red-hair- ed Hamilton Olympic Club star, who has been in attendance at Notre Dame University for the past year, not only won the 16. pound shot put and the discus throw, but also secured second place in the javelin throw. The sprint events were hotly contested, with Powell, of West ind beating Adams in the cen- tury and Christie defeating Pow- eil and Adams in the furlong. Pickard, of Hamilton ran a splen- cid quarter to beat out a fellow club-mate, Bert Irwin, and Bel- lamy of Owen Sound in a rousing finish. Shaver defeated Bill Johnston, last year's title-holder, in the half-mile event, covering the distance in 1 minute, 58 4.5 seconds--a speedy half mile for a high school athlete. Another Hamiltonian, Eddie King, defeat- ed Harry Cook, of Toronto and Norman Swan, of St. Catharines, in 4 minutes, 26 2-5 seconds. Bricker Makes Comeback Cliff Bricker, former marathon star, of Galt, sprung a surprise in the five mile event, when he showed his heels to such out- etanding stars as Billy Reynolds, Johnny Mile;, Fred Sargeant, Harold Yeb/er and many others of lesser reputation. Sargeant came on fast on the end to pass the veteran Wehstar in the stretch. Bricker ran well and sliowed that he is rounding into the form which made him suk a formidable competitor nricr to the last Olympic Games. Historic Adelphi Again Threatened London, July 18.--Once again that historic quarter of London situated just off the Strand and The Sales Manager Says . . o 1 Have Cut Prices Lower Than Any Sane Man Would Ever Attempt, Because We Must Vacate the Premises July 31st ARCADE Quitting Business Sale Your choice of any lady's Hat in the store. $1.00 4 Piece Boys' Tweed Suits. While they last. $5.45 known as the Adelphi, is threat- ened with demoliiton. It would be difficult to discover a more interesting group of the best in 18th century architecture than is presented in the little by-ways of John Street, Robert Street, Adam Street and Adelphi Terrac.e John Street and Robert Street were called after the brothers Adam, who built the houses here. Adel- phi is the Greek word for '"broth- ers' so one understands why this area came to be so named, Until a few months ago the Hotel Cecil reared its bulk right against the Adelphi. The Cecil is now repre- sented merely by a hole in the ground. In its place are to arise new offices for a great oil cor- poration, These changes on its flank have caused the Adelphi, metaphorically speaking, to tremble, The Adam brothers, were "speculative builders" who came from Scotland to start operations in London a few years after the battle of Quebec had been fought. The Duke of St. Albans of those days was decidedly hard up, and the canny brothers Adam secured a lease of his land on Thames- side almost at a give-away fig- ure. The land possessed a heavy slope to the river, and the Adam brothers took considerable risks of several kinds when they re- solved to erect an embankment upon which to carry terraces of houses. They even resorted to a lottery, with the sanction of Par- liament, in order to carry through their project. Triumphing eventu- ally over their many difficulties, the brothers brought into being a series of well-built streets, with a noble terrace facing the river. These are carried to fhe level of the Strand by a number of arches of enormous strenght and of cave ernous size. The interior decora- tions of the original houses are ag 'graceful as their féundations are massive, » EARLY WEEK SPECIALS Monday - - Tuesday - - Wednesday Heinz x- Raisins Fingst Quality 'Best Quality ; Honey Dew Lobster No. 1-4 Tin 15¢ 'Large Bottles For Salads Quality Jomate "v1 hn Seedless Boiled HAM Sliced Ib.
