Gross Considerably Lower But Operating Expenses are Away Down Tells Southern Ontario Men of Mining Industry and Pros- pectors' Work TRY OUR WANT ADS Honorable W. A. Gordon, K.C., misses no opportunity of spread- ing the gospel of the mining in- dustry and the importance of the North Country in general, in his visits to various parts of Canada as a minister in the Federal Gov- ernment. On a recent occasion he visited Picton as guest speak- er at a banquet given by the Warden of Prince Edward Coun~ ty, Mr. Don Brown, and the fol- lowing is a part of a newspaper report of his address: , "Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minister of Mines, was guest speaker at the Warden's banquet at Picton, Prince Edward County, when he gave an illuminating address on the mineral resources of the Do- minion. With $887,500,000 - in vested in plant, equipment and: working capital, paying out $50,- 325,327 yearly in dividends and $113,975,332 yearly in wages, and with 89,200 employees, Canada's mining industry, he asserted, was the brightest spot in the coun- try's industrial picture. During this time of world-wide indus- trial depression the mining in- dustry of Canada had not found it necessary to cut wages as had been done in other industrial fields. On the other hand, from month to month, more men had been employed and the industry was in a very desirable condition of progress. In introducing the chief speak- er of the evening Mr. Weese soke of him as the first practical mining man to~hold the portfolio of Mines, representing Canada's second largest industry. As the Minister of Immigration and Colonization also, Mr. Gordon did not believe in assisted passages to incoming settlers on the ground that the early pioneers who laid the foundation of Canada's greatness had received no such assistance and had achieved mar- vellous results on their own ini- tiative. Mr. Gordon, at the outset of For a bit of youth and fire Can you give me heart desire? Youth's a fleeting melody; One green leaf from Time's great tree. Youth is glamor, rose and song; New Year, take my youth along. Only leave me as you go, Something youth can never know A BIT OF SPANISH LACE My grandmother I never knew, But she has left me these: Her sapphire necklace, darkly blue; Her scarf from overseas. I have no picture of her face. No child is left to tell; But from this chain, this yellow- ed lace, I know my grandma well. I see her as a happy bride, With joyous youth aglow, And love forever at her side, In golden long ago. I see her slender fingers lift The sapphires from their case; Isense her gladness at this gift-- The scarf of Spanish lace. This grandmother I never knew Still thrills me with her grace, For she had eyes of sapphire blue And skin like Spanish lace. A Prayer May I not weary at close of day-- This is always my dream-- May I find such beauty in sun- set's ray As I knew in the dawning gleam My spirit's sword--may it still be keen To thrust the wrong aside; May its blade be stainless, still as clean As in hours of my youth and pride. May I not yield toa weak regret This is always my prayer-- Old ships are gallant and old trees |man savant of relativity fame, is shown as he came down the gang- increase of $10,066.

Your Complete Satisfaction is My Guarantee MEAT his address, paid tribute to the sprung men and women who were today the backbone of the coun- try. Plunging into the main theme of his address, the Minis- ter urged his listeners to stop talking depression, to stop talk- ing gloom. He doubted if they were in a worse position than had been experienced by many of those present in succeeding per- iods of prosperity and depression. We had advanced and retreated with the stock market, following it as an index of the business conditions of the country, but this was not a reliable guide. In the past two years the stock market had not depicted the real situation; it had not shown that the mineral industry had increas- ed almost twenty per cent., so that Canada was producing gold alone to the value of one million dollars a week. Canada's prospectors, Mr. Gor- don averred, were the finest in the world. A prospector must be abushman, a canoeman, a man who must take care of himself when his grub ran out. And prospectors were never out sent they would not see any di- of work. He believed that within the lifetime of the youngest pre- Blue eyes, pink lips, Chubby hands and feet, Come now; dream ship; Sail in dream sea's fleet. Blue eyes, closed now; Chubby hands, relax; Droop, head--white brow Crowned with curls like flax. Dream ship prancing Over seas unknown; Fairies dancing, Sea-king on a throne. Blue eyes, pink lips, Funny hands and feet Board the dream ships, Very strange and fleet! Dream ship sail on Over dream seas' foam; Landing in early dawn At the port of home! 165% miles of underground wor- kings and others were approach- ing a similar stage of develop- ment. The Red Lake Camp was coming back, one of the mines there producing gold at the Iow- est cost on the continent. Mr. Gordon spoke in high terms of Northern Ontario as a land which minution of Canada's mineral]had produced prodigious wealth output. Such was his faith in}and promised even greater re- the mineral resources of the}sults in the future, eulogizing the country. splendid men who had gone in The Minister quoted figures to show the immense value of our mineral output, dividends paid by gold, supplies, equipment, freight. the great benefits which had ac- crued to Old Ontario during the past quarter of a century from its mineral industry; and he express- ed the earnest hope, which was indeed, something more than a hope, that the people of Old On- tario would reap benefits increas- ingly large as the years passed. At the same time the older part of the province might reasonably be expected to bear the burden of financing this mineral develop- ment in a larger degree than in the past. ; As an indication of the magni- tude of the development at some of the mining properties of Nor- thern Ontario, Mr. Gordon stat- ed that the Hollinger Mines at Timmins had a huge network of silver, nickel and copper mines to the end of 1930, wages, In view of such stupendous figures he asked his listeners to consider there as prospectors, miners and settlers, men who with the great- est courage had faced the hard- ships of the bush and by their in- dustry had achieved surprising results from the mines and from the soil. Notwithstanding the low prices of most of their pro- ducts the mines had set a new record of quantity production in a period of general industrial de- pression, this increased produc- tion being the result of normal development and not in the nat- ure of forced expansion. Despite increased capital invested in ex- pansion, most of the companies had been able to show a reason- able profit and this creditable per- formance had served as the prin- cipal stabilizing influence on the business structure of the whole country. He affirmed that with the outstanding developments that had taken place and with vast areas still to be prospected there need be no doubt as to the future of the Ontario mining industry. ~ ay, fo member for Prince Edward-Len- eins I find dusk fair ! e nox and to the early settlers of "@ the district from whom _ had LULLABY " | FRESH HAMS, Whole or 4c Half, per th.
