A new record for production was established in 1928 and at the beginning of 1929 the Indications were that this would again be surpassed, but due to an easing up in production, 1929's total was nearly 19,000,000 lbs. less than the preceding year.

Copper Fell Off The noticeable decline in copper production, was due to the withdrawal bfc the Granbjfcutput, which resulted in a closing down of the copper smelter and refinery.

The gold output also fell off in consequence 3f the withdrawal of the copper supply, the gold values being con tained in the copper ores.

Future of Bear River District Government Engineer Thinks Marmot River Area Will Produce Bulk of High-Grade Ore The future of .the Bear River area can be considered under two headings: 1I1 future of deposits under development; and, (2), future from the point of view of undiscovered deposits, says a report of Dr. George Hanson of the Federal Geological Survey. The future of the known deposits pertains to the extraction of the present ore-bodies and to the proving of greater tonnages. From the known properties it would seem that the Marmot River part of the area, though considerably smaller than the Bear River part, will produce the bulk of the high-grade ore. The lower grade deposits, .however, seem more promising in the Bear River part. As for. undiscovered mineral deposits, little can be said, except that both parts of the area warrant thorough prospecting. It is impossible to tell what places are most favorable for prospecting as the origin of the ores is not fully understood. The known deposits; LAST LONE WINTER OF NORTH PORT Churchill, Almost Deserted Once More, Will Awaken in Spring to Influx of Workers WINNIPEG, Man., Jan. 29: Churchill is in the chill midst of its last lone winter. Except for some 30 men and a single woman every, resident at the government-owned, bay port has moved out to the south The last scheduled (Muskeg Limited puffed down to The Pas in early December and now the mall is "mushed in" twice a month by dog team from Gillam at Mile 327. Ice-locked, the 250-year-old harbor is deserted until next spring. A skeleton force at Churchill is retained by tiie Hudson Bay Railway, which completed the first laying of steel to the harbor 511 miles northeast of The Pas last March, and by the Department of Railways and Canals. But all railway construction and dock labor is at an end for several months. Thrw men remain at the government radio post, and one at the telegraph office; the Hudson's, Bay Company tending post continues its work: and Rev. H. A. Gibson and his wife eiide at the Anglican Mission. Otherwise the settlement at the mouth of the Churchill River, where 1500 men toiled last summer. Is abandoned to the chill winds lashing down from the sea. In all probability, however, the bay port of the west win never know another so lifeless stretch' between autumn and spring. It is certain that the opening of the settlement to the public, planned for next spring, will mark the beginning of a record of at least partially per manent residence at Churchill. Un doubtedly, ingress to the end of the Hudson Bay Railway steel will be closely scanned by the Dominion government; but a new town will begin, to take form when the way is, .opened to prospective settlers. .The fact that harbor construction work is not expected to reach com pletion until some time in IMi will not prevent a hurried surge of new citizens to Churchill. As yet, under government ruling, three banking establishments alone have marked the arrival of commerce; numerous applications, however, for permis sion to set up establishments which might flourish on the trade of hun dreds of residents busy at the har bor, have been received. Divers considerations, no doubt. have Influenced the government in the decision to supervise closely the settlement's early civic develop ment. Housing accomodation at present is sufficient only for those busied at railway and harbor work and, under existing conditions, wa ter supply and sewage problems yield to but temporary solution When Churchill assumes the status of a town, it is expected that these difficulties will have been solved. Gardens Non-Existent Moreover, new ciusens of Churhlll must remember that backyard gar dens are non-existent on the bar ren land about the bay barber. Pish may run aplenty in the river; foxes and other game may roam the frown muskeg stretches; but staple vegetables must be Imported into Churchill. Radishes, lettuce' and potatoes actually were grown at the port last summer, and they looked good; but they had imbibed no taste from the barren soil. A flower-lover planted hardy pa rules and the stems pushed two and one-half inches above ground; but there they stopped, without a bloom. As a harbor, nevertheless, Churchill has not been slighted by nature. Before it empties into the bay, Churchill River swells in the shape of an oval bottle with its neck to the sea a ready-made port. Besides, projecting headland and an island shelter the opening so that storms have little effect on the lrv ner harbor, enclosed as it is by rocky cliffs which rise in some cases to a height of 70 feet. Along one side of the Churchill River runs the Hudson Bay Railway, reaching almost to the tip of a narrow point projecting out into the bay. It is at the base of this point, formed of rugged rook ridged by the yearsi that the townslte ne doubt will be located; and it is on this side of the river that the government is constructing its harbor works. Six miles In length, the harbor at Churchill varies in width according to the tide. Its low tide breadth runs from one mile to two; at high tide, the haven Is about three miles across at its broadest. however, provide some information Low water width of the harbor en-that may assist in the discovery of trance is almost one-third of a other deposits. mile, of which 750 feot has been TALKING PICTURES Mary Pickford The Perfect Actress With the Perfect Screen Voice, in "COQUETTE" 100 PER CENT TALKING Comedies FARO NELL AND GARDEN OF EATI.N PARAMOUNT SOUND NEWS Admission, 20c and 65c ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 mi immm i m i on i i i Get die car ready mow we um.m&E Equip your car now with a set of Royal Cords or Royal Masters. . . . and enjoy a season's motoring free from trouble or worry.

Even when Imports rush In through the bay to the mouth or the Churchill River; even when prairie wheat surges along the Hud son Bay line and outward to Brl tain and Europe during the harbors ice-free period, the gaunt ruins of Fort prince of Wales and of the old harbor battery at the tip of the point across the river will re-muln among the Dominion's history marking sites.

British ensineer retained by the Dominion govern- nent in 1927 to advise regarding the suitability of Nelson and Churchill as harbors, the harbor capacity can be easily Increased by a little dredging to accommodate as many and as large vessels as ever will be likely to plan entrance to the port. In the West, Churchill is looked upon as a new port, but in reality its history goes back into the distant past of early Canadians. Munk, the Danish explorer, is believed to have wintered at Churchill in 1619, more than three centuries ago. Trading vessels of the Hudson's Bay Company sailed into the hay more tnan 250 years ago, and utilised Churchill as a haven soon after their early voyages. Even Fort Prince of Wales, a mass of ruins across the river from the modem tangle of incipient dock construction. Is not "old" us .the history of Churchill goes. It was almost two centuries ago, during the years 1733 to 1744, that the Hudson's Bay Company built the huge-stoned fort at the mouth of the Churchill River.
