Basing the statement on opinions ob- tained from bankers and mortgage officials the paper s$ys the farmers have regained faith and confidence in the future. Demand for Manitoba Durum wheat and malting barley has lifted the far- mer out ot the slougii. Prices for grain were better this year, the paper lays and threshing was finished early. A mortgage company official said scores of farmers were paying oft in- terest and principal whereas in form- er years they had been unable to pay anything. A branch bank in a large rural town banked $91,000 of farmers' money one day this fall, the Tribune adds. All implement company officials said farmers were buying repairs •gain and paying cash. Many of them were paying something on old out- standing accounts. A general storekeeper in a small municipality said tor three days in a row his business was better than for any day last year. Farmers added their voice to the cheerful chorus. Things were bound to be better where there have been crops, they said. "Wo expect this year's debts to be paid and believe there will be a reduction on old notes," one said. An Insurance company executive said conditions were definitely better, "It is not legislation that will help the farmer," he declared. "All he wants is a reasonable production and a chance to market it." Only the drought-harriei. soutii- west section of Manito'ja gave a sombre touch to the picture.

Since Cobalt, thirty yeais ago. the silver discoveries of the Great Bear area have outranked, In tonnage and contained values, any other new sil- ver camp in any part of the world. This area has been frequently liken- ed to a great treasure chest ot rare minerals by reliable, seasoned min- ers who are not given to a superlative use ot descriptive adjectives. Old Co- baiters compare that "wonder camp" as a poor second to probabilities of the Great Bear area. Where Cobalt's veins, averaged Inches in width, with comparatively short lengths, and where shallow seated. Great Bear's will shov." feet in width, great con- tinuous vein lengths with acknowl- edged indications that the veins will experience great depths. Ihe mine run of ore contains high silver values sufficient to provide great net profits above the unusual high mining trans- portation and ore treatment costs. Ore chutes of phenomenally ricJ. ore are encountered with a silver content as high as 10.000 ounces per ton. Co- balt's best hardly equalled this. Supplementing the silver, the Great Bear ores contain a rich pitchblende carrying a radium content, the equal of any radium ore being mined to- day. On account of geographical loca- tion the transportation costs are ex- cessive. With expanding •â- line opera- tions these costs have already, in three years' time, been cut in two and will be further reduced to 'a point in line with normal production costs. Great Bear is rapidly progressing from the 'pioneer discovery phase" of a new camp to that of a cainp with at least three properties ui or nearing the productive stage. A source of electric power available locally has been surveyed, possibilities estimated ad plans are being prepared to util- ize this power in the near future. Transportation problems >vill be solv- ed with railroad construction just as soon as the camp demonstrates that tbere is sulficent income to warrant the expenditures ot construction and operation. Reliable engineer;; and executives predict that ..lis will be taken care of in the near future. The Great Bear area has positively passed the initial hazardous pioneer period, always experienced by new mining camps, and will, without doub , pro- gress rapidly to the position of an established community. Complement to the main Great Bear silver area, the Yellowknife, a new discovery of rich gold has been partially, developed, and the Hottah Lake area, a rich uranium oxide and pitchblende discovery (ores of radi- um) both located south of Great Bear and on the probable railroad line to be constructed. Among the several properties being worked three have reacbed an advanc- ed stage of mining development. The Eldorado Mine has erected a modern mining plant and mill, the latter sup- plemented by a reflninfl plant for ra- dium and silver ore at Port Colbome, Ont. Underground development has put quite a tonnage of high grade ore in sight besides proviilpng for all mill requirements. Exploratory mining work has indicated new and greater bodies of rich ores whdch will provide ore tonnage for expan- ding mine operations and definitely establishing the permanency ot Eldor- ado as a profitable producer. i The White Eagle Silver Mine has ' erected a mining plant an<t has de- finitely established a tonnage of ore' reserves which warrant the construe- j tion of a mill, the installation of '• which Is planned for the immediate! future. The B.E.A.R. Mine at Contact Lake | has installed a mining plant follow. I ing a considerable amount of surface ; exploration work, supplemented by â-  several thousand feet ot diamond ' drilling. Under-ground development work by means of a 500-foot adit tun- 1 nel and a two compartment winze 1 sunk 100 feet below the adit level! floor with lateral workings from this I horizon, has established a tonnage ot high-grade silver and radium ore that warrants a greatly expanded under- ground mining development campaign and the construction of a mill. The Mine Manager is at present in To- . ronto in consultation with the man- ' agement in regard to plans for en- 1 larged mine operations and mill con. struction. B.E.A.R. holds a 50% | equity in _ the Yellowknife Gold Mines where surface mining explorat- i ing work has resulted in discoveries of gold-bearing veins which system- atic sampling has given gold values and width of veins which make the Yellowknife a discovery of major j importance â€" as illustrative: Trail! sampling provides the following: I Sample Aâ€" Across «> feet gave $31.80 i gold per ton, j Sample B â€" Across 6 teet gave $47.25 gold per ton. > Sample C â€" Across a6 ha teet gave 1 $9.70 per ton. I The Great Bear area holds every â-  promise of equalling and perhaps sur- \ passing "Cobalt'' as a "Wonder' sil-i ver producer. It may appear to be ' a distant pioneer today, but events ! move quickly. Such worth-while mer- ! its in profitable mine possibilities make the present handicaps but in. j cidental and they will soon belong | to the limbo of the past. j Silver Hold* Attention Keen interest is sttfl evident in the price for the "white metal" and earlier forecaeu of higher pric*i> seem to be materializing. The ptic in both London and New York has hit a new high point for over five yeari, and further advances are being an ticipated by producers and economists. Buying by the United States gov- ernment is undoubtedly the main factor in the present advance and as they have only purchased a compar- atively small proportion of the amount necessary to bring their cur- rency backing up to the 25-75% ratio as authorized by Presideni Ro- osevelt earlier in the year. The President's recent speech did not make mention of either gold or sdver so that the way appears to be left clear for further inflation. At pre- sent the government bond problem has been the chief barrier against fore positive silver or gold inflation, but it is expected that this situation will be clarified ere long after which it seems to be likely that further in- flationary steps will be taken. At least that seems to bo the concensus of opinion among leading financiers and economists. The United States situation is of distinct importance to Canada, particularly as it applies to silver and gold, as any further tink- ering along the lines talcen earlier in the year, will react to the benefit of our mining industry. It will be in- teresting to note what action is eventually taken in view of the fore- casts which have been made by some of the world's leading economists.

AU diuolsia Collectivization Credited With Offsetting Bad Weather Moscow â€" Russia's harvest this year will approximate last year's good crop yield, despite spring droughts, according to first govern- ment reports issued here and con- firmed by impartial agricultural ex- perts. Preliminary reports indicate the average yield is about 10 bushels per acre which is considered a normal crop in Russia. The autonomous Caucasian Re- publics reaped the richest harvest, averaging about 40 bushels. North Caucasus and Volga grain regions averaged about 15 bushels. Eastern Ukraine, which the Monitor corre- spondent has just loured, was the hardest hit by the drought. Kiev district, however, profited by the late rains and expects a harvest in excess of last year's. Superior organization of collec- tivized agriculture and various con- cessions to idividual peasants thii spring are credited with accomplish- ing the unexpectedly good harvest despite unfavorable weather. Par- ticular credit is due to the so-called "Politotdels"' or political sections of the Communist Party consisting of carefully selected groups of urban Communists who have worked in agricultural villages. These men and women, working directly under the Kremlin, were in- structed to win the peasants' confi- dence and guard against previous abuses. By instituting new humane methods in the villages and convinc- ing the peasants they now have "friends at court," these political sections have accomplished more toward voluntary collectivization than all their more ruthless predecessors, it is said. The Government considers this year's harvest successes as final proof that compJete collectivization will be possible by 183" as stipulated in the second five-year plan. Partly through a new spirit of confidence in the Government's intentions, and artlv through pressure exerted by ta"advantages which are given to collectivized peasants, many hesi- tant individual peasants undoubtedly will be induced to join the collec- tives during the coming months. The Monitor correspondent discovered many evidences of this in touring the Ukrainan villages.

Two of the ingredients of Kruschen Salts have the power of dissolvinir uric acid crystals. Other ingredients assist Nature to expel these dissolved crystals through the natural channel. In addition, there • are still other salts in Kruschen which prevent food fermentation in the intestines, and thereby check the further accumulation not only of uric acid, but of other bodv poisons which undermine the heallh. Fingerprint* Munireal â€" Dr. Kosario Fontaine has raised the ante in this matter of the probability of two persons hav- ing identical fingerprints. Smiling to reporters and quoting a textbook written by Dr. V. Bal- thaiard, dean of the University of Paris and founder of the ballistic system. Dr. Fontaine said: "The sun has time to become frigid a::d the world in general to pass away, or to be more exact, it would take 2,l}00,l)<W,OOO,000.(WO,0OO centuries before your fingerprint will be similar to those of some'oody else. "Within this trifling number of years,' said Dr. Fontaine, who is regarded a.' perhaps Canada's most distinguished criminologist, "it would be impossible to meet identical fingerprints. "The average lifetime of a gener- ation is one-half century and, in consequence, it is possible to calcu- late thai; approximately 5,tK)0,iX>0,0(X) human beings live throughout s century. Each individual provides the world with 10 personal finger- prints, thus making it possible for scientists or experts to secure, if necessary, 50,000,000,000 fingerprints in 100 years." Testifying in court. Dr. Fontaine gave the conservative estimate that the odds against similar fingerprints were 64. 0Oii,lH)0, 000 to one. An optimist is a husband who thinks he is going to finish an aryu- j ment started by hie wife.
