It looked like a baby Carriage beside the sleek big 1938 machine in which Howard Hughes roared across the same Atlantic just a week ago and then on around the world. None of that bothered the Young Man from los Angeles. The Only thing that worried him was to get away from new York without the government stopping what it would have considered a crazy suicidal venture.

The Negus a Short distance South has gone be this is one a series of articles by Burt Gresham on an air visit to the newly discovered Gold mines of the Northwest territories. By but Gresham. Yellowknife . How much Gold is there round Here i asked Fred w. Connell Young but top notch prospector with whom i shared a room at Pete Racine s Corona hotel. Fred grinned. I would stick out out my neck on that he jeered. The rocks Are full of it or there in t on who you listen to. Look around for he tossed me a chunk of Rock. Have that go several thousand dollars a ton. Remember that when somebody tells you there s no Gold up i went Over to talk to the Canadian mounted policeman who acts As a Deputy mining recorder. His lips were sealed he said. I talked to prospectors. All of them said Yellowknife was the Best thing that Canada had Ever seen in Gold mining. They quoted figures on assay reports that made the War debt look microscopic. They talked about High Grade finds in a huge volcanic zone and waxed lyrical about the values exploratory Dia mond drilling was revealing. Inca visions these optimistic reports got so glowing that visions of the old inca treasure rooms littered six feet deep with Gold bars began to flit. Still the boys talked and the inca treasure rooms shrank by compari son until they looked like dustbins. To hear them Tell the Story yellow knife is a sort of combined Rand Hollinger and Lake Shore All rolled into one and with streamlined improvements. When i went to mine managers for facts and figures i was met with courteous refusals. Head offices do the talking mine managers do the mining seems the Rule. 1 began to look around for corroborative evidence that the yellow knife District was in the process of becoming Canada s newest treasure House. First off there were 12 planes tied up to the docks around town. In the town were approximately 350 persons so to fact by comparison Winnipeg on the same basis should have aircraft to be As Well served. Then there were other significant big companies such As consolidated mining and smelling company mining corporation of Canada ventures b.e.a.r., inter National mining Noranda Jack Hammell and Many others were All actively in the Field. To list the top notch prospectors and mining engineers in the District would sound like Roll Call at a mining Conven Tion. Add to these things the Canadian Bank of Commerce Are building a new and bigger Bank stores Are building big warehouses the River barges on the slave River Are carry Shaft and Are preparing to Mill 50 tons a Day. Ventures at turnback Lake Are Diamond drilling and trenching properties at Sito Lake Are under going intensive development work. Diamond drilling and trenching work Are being rushed on a dozen other properties. So sticking out my neck like Fred Connell would t either Gold in those there s a lot of very smart mining people badly mistaken. Roosevelt Honor Kingston ont., july 18.

Opinion on Spain changes by Grant Dexter London july 18. Second anniversary of the outbreak of the Spanish civil War was marked in the United kingdom by a Subtle but important change in British opinion and a clearer realization that similar changes an almost certainly occurring among the rival factions in Spain. In contrast with three month ago British franc oites Are much less vocal. It is generally believed now there is Little the die tutors quickly and voluntarily with drawing following a Franco Victory or that Franco for financial Rea sons will pass under British in fluence. The. Dictators Are More deeply entrenched in Spain than the most ardent British Francoise cares to contemplate and patently they re using their position to strengthen themselves against Britain Anc France. View confirmed this View is based not Only on first hand unimpeachable observation of British visitors to Franco Spain but it is also believed con firmed by official reports from the British minister to the Franco government. Nobody believes the Spanish government can win but there is a growing opinion among spaniards on both sides increasingly favor Able to an armistice and settlement it is Felt that nazi and fascist in fluence is now the chief obstacle to such a solution. The Spanish government practically stated its willingness to negotiate with Franco but failing a settlement it intends continuing War pot i Hope of win Ning but in the belief it will Over Lap into a major european conflict British opinion on All sides now realizes More clearly the menace of a Franco Victory to British interests. In Many quarters there is a vivid realization of this while everywhere there is a growing com prehension that a Franco Victory will usher in a period of extreme peril for Europe because for six months at least the dictators will possess Spain and will have achieved the strongest conceivable Tacti Cal position against Britain Anc France. In the following six months it is thought Spanish nationalism will begin to weaken the dictators hold but meantime Many believe the dictators hour will have struck and that they la know it.
