C., Aug. 25--(CP) --A 60-year-old surveyor was miss- ing tonight in the wooded moun- tains surrounding this uranium boom town as heavy claim-staking continued throughout the entire area. ; Prospectors and police joined in 2 wide search for John Munroe, one of a four-man crew lining and stak- ing out claims in the radio-active Slopes of Tommy Creek and Mount Last week Munroe, an experienc- ed trapper-woodsman, told store- keeper George Simpson: "I'm going out into the hills. Keep this money ($40) for me." He hasn't returned to camp, Meanwhile in town, activity around the Mines' Department reg- istration office continues, as more prospectors trooped in to record claims. It is difficult to assess the total claims activity here. In old town of Lillooet, where the department maintains a divisional office, re- corders said 35 to 40 cerified claims were entered since Ernest Johnson's first find was reported Aug 14. Mines Department officials, still not able to report the yield of John- son's uranjum-bearing ore, reiterat- ed their warning today. "Do not rush in until we are able to assess the actual quality of the find," they cautioned. Most of the area surrounding this rock-ribbed wilderness has been staked out. Other prospectors have raced back into unknown territory to pound in their stakes, Musicians Seek Ban On "Canned" Music Sydney, Australia -- (CP)--Aus- tralian musicians are seeking a ban on the unrestricted importation of "canned" music. Musicians' Union Secretary PF. Kitson told reporters that a cut in this type of music would give "live" musicians in Australia a chance to earn a living. "Too much recorded music is go- ing over the air," said Kitson. "The government should protect live musical talent in the same way as it protects Australian industry with unties and tariffs." @ Kitson said that the union was not against the importation of re- cordings of orchestras such as the Boston and Philadelphia Symphony orchestras because they were edu- cational and afforded a basis of comparison with local orchestras. Local swing fans were quick to defend their swing idols against any proposed ban. Director of the Bing and Swing Club, Brian How- ard, declared that a ban on Bing Crosby would deprive the mass of people of the finest entertainment. MANY DEAD SPECIES - There are far more extinct than living species of animals and birds. Business Spotlight By The Canadian Press So many people are talking about the bust that will follow the present boom that it is becoming fashion= able in the United States to search for signs showing the bust isn't likely to hit soon. Everyone has his favorite econe omic signal -- the stock market, consumer expenditures, personal income, industrial production or perhaps just a crystal ball But new popularity has attached to another signal -- dividends. Dividends are up. Big and little corporations continue to report profits higher than ever before. The New York Stock Exchange re- ports 418 companies with common stocks listed on the exchange made nearly 28 per cent higher profits during the first half of this year than in the same period of 1947. But, at the same time, the rate of payment of dividends has gone up only about 12 per cent, Moody's Investor Service shows. That indicates corporations are being cautious with their money. They are putting aside a big chunk of their lush profite for the rainy day that may come tomorrow. They remember the bleak times of the 1830s. The United States Commerce De- partment in looking back sees signs that industrial production is slow- ing down from the terrific high pitch that followed the war. and Jul, was moderately lower than earlier in the year; but for the whole first six months of this year it was still higher than dur- ing the first half of 1947. It was the rate of production that slowed down, with more compan- ies reporting a slackening and few- er companies having an increase in production. The Commerce Depart- ment's figures show the pattern of post-war adjustment. Markets Tuesday New York stock market recovered slightly Tuesday after Monday's fairly bad slide. Gains ran to more than two points at the end. A late- hour flurry at Toronto recovered earlier losses in industrials, golds and western oils; and base metals were stronger, Montreal stocks dis- played a majority of narrow losses though industrials and 'banks were steady. s Wheat prices were a bit higher at Chicago and Winnipeg but corn at Chicago sold .at the season's low, except for September deliver- ies. Coarse grains firmed at Win- nipeg.
