'behind pre VOL. VIIL DRYDEN, Ontario, November 2nd, 1928 No. XVIII sbi Gold Rock Mine to Ship Bullion Before End of This Month. CANADA has now another gold mine in operation, Gold Rock Mine, own- ed by the Gold Rock Mining Syndica e, Limited, is now actually producing gold and will make a first shipment some time this month, is This news, we believe, of first class importance to the whole mining industry of Canada and especially to all mining investors. What is needed right now, in these days when so many mining stocks have slumped and there have been such serious losses in the value coming into production of many mincs, dustry so much, of mining companies' capital is the Nothing will help the mining in- The public is fed vp with prospects; it now wants mines, The amazing mining activity of the past few years, that is, the active work of mine-making, could not go on out some definitely valuable results !eing obtained, for ever like Tennyson's Brook, with The accrued value of money investment and the work investment must become evident some time To us it looks as if that time has cone and that the near future will see he fruition of much patient toil and mony ardent hopes. of the mining ventures about which not a great deal has been heard, "while others slept, these men were upward toiling in the night", at this time, Gold Rock is producing ting shipped to the Mint, ance and will give joy to many hearts. At Gold Rock Mine, shaft sinking is now in progress and there is sufficient tonnage on the ground to provide feed for the mill for several months to come. The Syndicate is arranging for additional units to be added to their milling equipment and propose to add other units as necessity de- mands, There are no less than fifteen veins on the property, ranging from seven to forty-five feet wide and carrying payable gold that assays in some cases as high as $122 20 per ton. In getting samples assayed the Company has been careful to have no assays made of samples showing free gold, which 'might have given an over-emphasized value to the assays, There is one vein on the surface which, because of free gold, would assay hundreds of dollars to the ton. There are at present twenty-five men working on the property, most of them men of ripe experience; picked men, These are every one sharehold- ers in the Company and amongst its most enthusiastic boosters, The resi- dent engineer, is Miles Walker, long associated with that famous English mining house, John Taylor and Sons and we are appending a report on the property from his pen, This re. port will repay the study of intelligent mining investors wanting to get the facts about this latest gold producer, The property is situated in the Dry- den Gold Area in the Kenora Mining Division of Ontario and is reached by water route with a six mile portage. The Ontario Government is putting this portage into good shape, having a gang of men at work on the road now, The shares of Gold Rock Mining Syndicate are selling at $100 per unit, These will be exchangeable for 500 shares in a four million company shor- tly to be formed and should prove 2 -valuable buy for the investor looking for an investment in mining stock, where he will not be at the merey of manipulaters or mercenaries, As such the Mining Reporter commends this venture to its invester-readers, believing in the mine and the people it, who are men of high caliber.--Can_ Mining Reporter, How many people in Dryden to-day are aware that we are right on the 'eve of development that might con- ceivably put Dyden in the same class as towns like Timmins, Hailebury, and -- [Make it safe from financial loss with a INSURANCE from J. B.GIBSON, agent, Dryden Gold Rock is one But Now, gold and soon that gold will be get- This, we repeat, is news of first class import- Cobalt, Events are happening that seem too good to be true, Many | thousands of dollars have been recent. ly spent in the district very quietly and without fuss, - Nothing has been asked from Dry- den, These people going ahead of their own accord and in their own way, quietly staking and buying up good properties, so that their holdings have already reached several thous- and acres, They themselves are positively en- thusiastic over the prospects of this mining field, claiming that the next Canadian Rush will be to the Manitou. This may or may not be so. We are unable to pass judgment, merely pointing out what is going on un- known to the great majority of the Dryden people, With the Dryden Paper Company so successfully on its feet, the Bates' Valve people adding to the pay-roll the growing importance of the farm- ers, a successful mining development would make Dryden one of the favor- ed towns of Canada, The vision of the people who put water and sewers "into the town at that time in the face of such odds are to be commended, i -- HARVEST SERVICE AT UNITED CHURCH-- - Dr J. E. Cormie, Superintendent of Western Missions for the United Church of Canada, spoke in the in- terest of Missions at the United Church Harvest Festival last Sunday. The church was very well filled, giv- ing Dr Cormie an opportunity to pre- .ent to many people the immense work of the United Church in Canada Dr Cormie stressed that fifty-two percent of Canada's immigration at present is European, the balance evidently be- ing from the British Isles, He clamed that the function of ihe United Church is not to mix in the politics or education of these people, but to give them the gospel of Christi- anity wherever possible The Choir rendered several ve.y nice numbers and the whole service was very pleasing, SERVICE MORE MILES--LESS COST Reduce your tire expense by buying the kind that will give vou longer, better service at less cost.

Dingwall Motors KENORA ONTARIO Concert And Dance at Quibell THE Concert and Dance held in the Community Hall, Quibell, organiz- ed by Mr R, Millings, was well atten- ded by Dryden people. The concert was given by Arthur Pitt, A, E, Berrey, H Gammon, Dr P. H. B. Wood, and Alfred Pitt, who contributed some fifteen numbers and Mr Millings acted as chairman, and by special request sang "Mary of Argyle " The Gammon Orchestra helped in the concert and gave splendid music for the dance, which lasted till one o'clock, Community is a very good word, because separated by forty miles the such success without the Dryden folks had such a good time without the Quibell Hall, The net proceeds were about 375.00 as a nucleus of the Quibell- Red Cross Much credit is due Mr Millings for his dea and his genial hospitality.
