Canadians Fight
On Depression
(By If. C. i* ARM LEE in Engineer
ingj; and Mining Journal)
Canada’s march toward economic
recovery is unquestionably being leu
oy uie metal-ininjng industry. Con
ii'i aon of this statement was amp
ly . (forded by a recent visit to the
principal mining areas in the south
ern provinces, where the activity in
mi: ng is in marked contrast to the
depressed or dormant state of otht r
industries in the Dominion. Lacking
the xaciiities of extended travel, one
could gain the same impression by
studying the satistieal abstract of
Canadian industries, which reveals
the upward trend of mining activiy
in the midst of economic depression.
In a national economy predominant.y
agricultural, Canadian mining as
sumes a position of leadership.
Most important is the production
of gold, niqkel, and copper in the
great pre-Cambrian shield, compris
ing an area of about one million
square miles surrounding Hudson
, Bay on the East^. South, and West.
i he most remarkable *er^es of dis
coveries in the recent history of
Canadian mining has been made , in
this geological formation. Begin
ning with finding of spectacu.a:
silver deposits at Cobalt in 19„3,
subsequent discoveries of gold at
Porcupine and Kirkland Lake gave
Ontario its present premier position
• n mining among the provinces. The
earier discoveries of nickel-copper
deposits at Sudbury are world-fam
ous, enabling Canada to produce
per cent of the world’s supply of
In the meantime the Canadian
shield has yielded mineral wealth in
provinces other than Ontario. At
Flin Klon, in northern Manitoba,
large bodies of gold-zinc-copper ore
have been developed. In the Rouyn
district of Quebec, almost due east
of Kirkland Lake, are the Noranda
“■old-copper and Siscoe gold deposits.
Finnally in the Mackenzie district of
the North-west Territories, pitch
blende-silver ores have been dscov
ered at Great Bear Lake. These
widely distibuted mineral deposits
are not only contributing to Can
ada’s economic recovery, but they
lend support to the belief of geol
ogists that the Pre-Cambrian shield
holds a wealth of undiscovered min
rals that will further enrich the
Dominion.
In British Columbia, formerly the
premier mining province of Canada,
mining still holds an important posi
tion. In fact it is relatively more
important in the economy of that
province than of Ontario. Its
metal resources are varied, yielding
lead and zinc in addition to gold and
silver. Metallurgy has reached a
high pitch of perfection in the mill
ing, smelting, and refining of lead
zinc ores by the Consolidated Min
ing & Smelting Company. Here
also is an important unit of Canada’s
chemical industry producing ammo
nium sulphate and -phosphate fertil
izers, based on the utilization of
roaster gas to make sulphuric acid.!
The record is an imposing one. A '
wealth of mineral resouiteas. not j
without knotty technical problems, ]
has been matched by the skill of j
Canadian technologists, Nor is the;
future left to take care of itself. An |
army of prospectors, estimated at I
18,000 is in the hush .tiiis season,
lured by the hope of mineral dis
cowry. Whatever their success, it
will rebound to the credit of the
mining industry as ttiy moa^pqteut'
the Dominion.

IN THE MATTER of the ESTATE

NOTICE TO CREDITORS.

Among the numerous plans which
being advanced for a National
tl age pension is the Townsend
Plan given below, . rapidly gaining
support throughout the country.
i he Townsend plan involves the
ordering of the congress of the
United States to enact a law pro
viding that every man or woman
ay retire at the age of sixty or
cider, ori a monthly pension of $200.
payable each month for the remain
der of their lives upon the following
conditions:
1. That he or she is a citizen ol
the United States.
2. . hat he or she takes an oath
to and-actually does spend the er.rre
$200 each month within the United
States.
3. That ha or she refrains from
any and all gainful oeo/upation or
pi fession.
4. That his or her past life is free |
from habitual criminality.
At the time of the enacment of the,:
pension law, another act will be
fussed providing for a national tax,
equally distributed, and calculated
at a rate just sufUcient to provide
the necessary revenue for the pen
ions roll.
nn. Ti.vwl i
purchasing power is created. It is
collected direct by agencies of the
United States Treasury and paid out
monthly to people in every commu
nity who are obliged to spend the
;otal amount within each MO days.
Authorities on economics and fi
nance have pronounced this plan
economically sound and the only
system so far advanced that can
ead us out of the depression with
immediate and permanent results
rhe saving on the cost of organized
harity alone will make the cost cf
the pensions a small item, and the
*reat release of buying power made
possible by the plan will change the
mood of the people from despair and
ioubt to one of hope and joyousness.
It will help make secure, for the
merchant, a wider range for goods
and services. It will help make se
cure, for the producer, a ready de
mand for his products. Help make
secure for the professional lines
good to all. —(Anchorage Times).
EARTH FISSURE SWALLOWED
T OW N.
There are worse thngs than
droughts and long hot spells among
the misfortunes Mother Nature can
inflict. Following a heavy rain ■and
earth tremors a huge crevice opened
in a remote section of Afghanistan
wrich swallowed 150 houses, the en
tire villageof Petava. Later the
huge crack closed up again leaving
no signs of the village. Fortunately
when the first tremors occurred, the
villagers fled into the open fields
and were saved from being buried
alive.
