Gods Lake residents enjoy comforts of civilization it makes you think of the things that went on in Shakespeare s tempest and if you Don t watch out it will put you in the Way of utter ing quaint turns of speech and talking with a lilt in your voice. Only by grim determination can you avoid that Fate. Travelling across Ireland you see one entrancing picture after an other. A succession of pictures in the e most delicate colors. Even the Pink Little pigs cutting up Capers in the Green Field Are More like some thing painted by Kate Greenaway than of a workaday world. And the donkeys Are gentle solicitous Little beasts. If you pause to look j at one in pasture he will Trot up to i the hedge and gaze soulfully Back j Ai you. I Tell you this is no place for a Man trying to keep his mind on things that matter. The greenness of Ireland contains All the shades of Green there mosaic of greens verging into mountains of a Rich purple or Violet Hue in the distance. The grass is Ever a glorious triumphant Green and no wonder for it is so frequently sprayed upon by the passing Clouds rain alternating with bursts of sunlight that make a banquet of color out of the scene. Journeying by motor bus up the Valley of the Lee River out of Cork you find the River a veritable poem of running Waters and As if to make the scene already poetic enough almost too Beautiful you will note Lovely White swans with curving necks swimming in pools of the River. Thus amid bursts of sunlight and gentle sprays of rain the bus takes you up among Hills where a Violet Light plays upon the crags of the wild scene and you come upon a Little Lake that is like a jewel set amid the Hills. It is the source of the River Lee and in this Lake is a Little Island upon which Rhode Den Drons Bloom in a Blaze of color and there you find a Little Church upon j the Island which the bus Driver tells you is a most holy spot. St. Finbarr did some holy act there. Ireland is like that Over and Over again. One is forever meeting up with holy spots and strange and interesting ruins upon islands in Lovely lakes. To a Man out of the workaday world of the Western Canadian Prairie this land is almost incredible in its infinite beauties. You feel like crying out of i say enough is it seems that these Little islands were the Sites of ancient colleges where students came from All Over the Western world to study at the feet of Wise men. The people you meet up with have a great fund of legend history and sheer fancy to pour into your ears. But to get away from a description that tends to become too pretty pretty simply because one lacks the words to get it right let me right now pay tribute to the bread of Ireland the Best bread in the world the Home made bread of Ireland. At the hotel in Westland Row where i stopped in Dublin they put the round loaves of Whita and Brown bread on the table for you to slice As it suited you with a Dull knife. They brought you your Tea in an earthenware pot of generous Tea for a whole family just for one Man. I have read in travel books that Ireland does not Excel in cookery but in this i emphatically disagree. The food is excellently and simply pre pared and nowhere else on Earth do potatoes taste so Good. I met with no tourists at that Dublin hotel but there were sub Stantial country Folk who talked of horses and cattle and who had features seasoned by no end of weather that is weather.

They were prospecting at the Mouth of the god s River. This i5 one of a series of articles by Frank h. Avery financial editor of the free press on a recent air trip to the mining areas of Manitoba by Frank h. Avery. Many changes have taken place at gods Lake during the last two years. Out of the original somewhat chaotic conditions of swamps a High degree of order has been established. Some of the old buildings still remain including the staff House but of the original Baker s dozen or so resident in the staff House Only about two remain. The rest of them have taken unto themselves wives and now live in neat Little bungalows Complete with modern conveniences including Frigidaire electric Light and heat hot and cold water radios and last but not least some of the most Beautiful scenery to be found any where As the Sun Lingerin Gly dips below the horizon for its Brief mid summer nightly Nap. There is a Tow site with rows of orderly houses snowy laundry on the lines curtained windows and the shrill cries of a rising Genera Tion. There is a school and Hiley Alley the Young principal who is using god s Lake school As a step Ping Stone to University degrees has More than a score of children with practically All grades up to Grade eight represented. Next year he says higher grades will have to be taught also while there will be a considerable influx in the lower grades. Nearly 150 men Are on the permanent payroll and some idea As to what this business Means to Winnipeg nearest shipping Centre May be gathered from the fact that the men Are paid by Deposit in Winnipeg Banks with whatever Cash advances they require for current expenditure at the company store or Over at the Tow site half a mile across the Bay where there is an hotel and two or three general stores. The hotel itself is a picturesque place and its proprietors or. And mrs. H. Johnson have gone to much time and trouble to change its Rocky surroundings into a Gar Den of Beauty with Flowers in Vari coloured pots in every Nook and cranny. Keen rivalry there is a baseball Diamond and great is the rivalry Between the various teams made up from different sections of the mine and office staff. There Are Tennis courts and Badminton is coming up. There Are numerous Bridge clubs and in fact the inhabitants of god s Lake enjoy All the pleasures of a civilized and Well ordered Community. Health is an important matter and under the care of or. D. C. Anderson a close watch is kept on general health of the Community on sanitation and on the water Supply. But none of this would have been possible had not Bob Jowsey presi Dent and prospector in company with Archie Mcdonald discovered some outcrops on Jowsey Island which looked interesting. Here again it is True that the present mine is not located upon the orig Inal find but is some five or six Miles further East but it was the finding of the mineralization at Jowsey Island which led to the close prospecting of the larger Elk Island and the eventual establishment of the largest Gold mine in Northern Manitoba. That was Only in 1932. In the intervening years a mine handling More than 200 tons a Day and supporting a fair sized Community has been brought into existence. The present company was formed in 1933, and two years later in september 1935, the then 150-ton Mill turned Over. Early transportation was by water to Norway House on Lake Winni neg 300 Miles and then a further 180 Miles by Canoe routes to god s Lake. Later when the time arrived for the shipment of heavy machinery it went by rail to Ilford at mile 237, on the Hudson Bay rail Way line and men Over a Winter route a further 112 Miles to the mine site. Next year s turkeys As freighting does not usually get under Way until the end of january the stores brought in last Winter include the turkeys which will be served next Christ Mas for the men s dinner and these Are All in a cold storage Plant which maintains a temperature of about Zero. All that comes in now by plane Are the emergency supplies and sup plies of Green stuff which cannot be brought in in any other Way. To assistant manager and Cost account ant Harry Hurley is left the task of computing All the various tons and tons of supplies which will be required and in addition to that employees maintaining their own establishments Are permitted to in clude their orders for Staples and the company freights them in at Cost. Even so a sack of potatoes costing 45 or 50 cents in Winnipeg costs Between and by the time it is delivered at Elk Island. Then the problem of keeping them in Good condition for a whole year is no Small one either. Mine manager Frank Baker solved that however by building a platform for them in a disused Section of the mine and keeping a current of cold air circulating around. Min Wise god s Lake Gold appears to be in excellent position and condition. Like most other new mines there is a great amount of work to do in working out and coming to an understanding of the geology of the Structure. God s Lake is fortunate in having Dis closed a very considerable tonnage of satisfactory Grade Ore and in May obtained a production of Over while june ran More than this topped the april production of and was a marked improvement for the reason that some of the additional april production came from classifier clean ups As against straight run of Ore in the succeeding months. But however Good the Ore the mine must keep on finding More for theoretically every Ore taken from underground must be replaced by new reserves. Deep underground in sections of the nine or ten Miles of drifts and Cross cuts Diamond drills Are exploring downwards and fan Wise that a study of the Drill cores May assist in determining Northern mines continued on Page 19, column 3 radio tube dealer complains Ottawa july 15.

Hartest Siopes heaviest wheat crop in 10 years Canadian press Survey indicates with general harvesting Only a month away approximately 10 Days later than last year present conditions give Promise of the heaviest crop in 10 years and the Best financial returns to Farmers since 1929, according to a Canadian press Survey. Growing conditions have been Ideal for the most part Only a few scattered areas in the three Prairie provinces reporting immediate need of rain. Moisture stood at 94 per cent of Normal today against 64 per cent on the a year ago. Manitoba is 80, Saskatchewan 94, and Alberta 96 per cent of Normal. Should present favourable conditions continue till Harvest it is estimated production will exceed the 10-year-average of bushels and estimates of some Grain men go As High As bushels. Permanent damage to wheat is placed by statisticians at Only 13 per cent compared with 60 per cent for the same period last year. Drouth and Grasshoppers have been mainly responsible. Wheat is 77 per cent headed the same percentage As at this time last year. Average height is 25 inches against 14 inches last year. Rust has appeared at 31 observers stations in Manitoba Only three reporting the infection As serious. In Saskatchewan rust is present at 30 Points with Only one reporting serious. Infection. No reports of rust have come from Alberta. Value of last year s Short Western crop was placed by. The Dominion Bureau of statistics at when Price of no. 1 Northern aver aged a Bushel. It is Early to Hazard the value of this year s crop As Many things can happen Between now. , but some Grain men believe the return will triple that of last season even with the lower prices now prevailing if conditions continue favourable first Rush of new wheat this year will go direct overseas and not into terminal elevators at the Lakehead As in previous years when there was a heavy surplus of wheat from the previous season to draw on. Indications Are the carryover when the new crop starts to move will be approximately bushels. Of this bushels is durum for for which there has Bein comparatively Little demand since the United states started growing More of this variety for Domestic use. Prospects Are that Alberta and Saskatchewan will have Large yields and Manitoba will have a Mccu sized crop although conditions in the latter province Are not As Good As last year when More than bushels were produced.
