Charles Me- Crea, Ontario Minister of Mines, *n a recent address aeve, Over a period marked by a steady decline in gold production over the rest of the world, Canada has increas- / ed her output from $8,000,000 to $33,- 000,000, and Ontario was responsible for mos. of the .ncrease he said. NO OVERPRODUCTION CRY "Here is one industry agaiast which there is no cry of overproduction. The discovery of a new Kirkland Lake would mean the gravitation of new capital into the province snd a great step in the direction of solving the unemployment problem.

Smith, another mine operator of long experience in Sonora, ened hopes of the scientists that they vill find definite evidences of the sup- posedly mythical race. Smith said he had come upon seven huge skeletons buried in a cave sev- eral miles from the place described by Coker. Smith removed one large bone from a skeleton and took it to an American physician, he said. The physician identified the fossil as a hu- man thigh bone and said that if the remainder of the skeleton was in pro- portion it must "ave been more than! eight feet in height.

By 1019 this rate had increased to about 12 per 100,000 and in 1929 it was over 17 per 100,000, Death rates from this disease in 1928 and 1927 wera even a little higher than in 1929, so that the bad record of last accident, Statistics {rom other cities disclose a similar situation, recent in-' creases of this disease being too great, ! health experts believe, to he explained ' 1930 Boy Called Better Average Than 1910 Type and More | | ! | Though Siangier | Lawless, He Gets M=dals | for Health ard i | Brains 8t.

The first man to own an airplane which he did not fly himself is be- lieved to have been the late Captain Lowenstein, who used a luxurious Handley-Page-Napier for. traveling throughout Europe with his staff, He was but the forerunner of many, and there are now nearly fifty private own. ers in Britain who employ air chauf- feurs.
