plete, and she will be ready to start
for America as scoon as the crew Is
convinced that every piece of appara-
tus Is 100 per cent perfect" an Ad-
miralty official said yesterday.
I'VE have given the crew permis-
sion to leave any moment they wish"
The admiralty is uncertain regard
ing the day of departure. Although
officials say they would not be sur
prised to see the R-34 cut loose any
day. it is generally believed the start
will not be made before the end OF
the month. owing to the extreme thor
oughness Of the tests she is under
going.
The R-34 will seek to fly to New
foundland at an altitude of about
{ 7.OO0 feet. which is above the lower
storm-filled areas usually traversed
by airplanes. From Newfoundland it
is planned to follow the coast to At
lantic City.
The drift" of the airshS7. which Is
expected to be the greatest problem
encountered. will be corrected by. drop
ping smoke or flame flares periodically.
The drift" will then be computed by
estimating the angle and distance be-
tween the flares. the speed of the
motor. etc.
The gas bag has received a new
coating of a substance impervious to
weather. The previous coating it de-
veloped would have absorbed about a
ton of moisture in a transatlantic
fight.

INDIAN PROSPECTOR
 MAKES BIG GOLD FIND

VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 14 (by Associated Press) Stories of mar vicious gold finds have come from the newly-discovered gold fields in the Copper Lake region, sixty-five miles north of Le Pas, Manitoba, and also at Contact Bay, about two hundred miles east of Winnipeg. One man re- gently came into Le Pas, it is said, with a canoe load of sacks filled with gold. He wanted the gold made into bricks.
 Stampeders are rushing to the new fields, and Winnipeg stores are doing rushing business outfitting expedi- tions.
 The story of the gold find itself sounds like an old Klondike tale. Ja- cob Cook, an Indian prospector, while on his way to his cabin on Copper lake, tripped and fell over a rusty spur of quartz. fingered by the fall, he struck the spur with his pick and saw evidence of gold. Within a few minutes he opened up streak four inches wide and several feet deep which assayers declare is almost pure gold.

GOOD WILL AND PEACE.
(By Henry Coyle.) }

(By Henry Coyle.)
The startled shepherds heard with fear,
Out on the silence. sweet and clear,
A host of star-erowned angels sing:
This night is born on earth King"
They hear the herald-angers voice:
Peace and good -will-an men re-
joice;
Glory to God the world around,
For Christ is born - goodwill a.
bound"
Shining Ger the horizon far
They see brilliant. moving star
Guiding the wise men. with rare gems,
And gifts OF gold and diadems.
The shepherds. all their fears at rest,
Join with the wise men in their
quest;
They find the mother, sweet and mild,
And on her breast, the little Child.
Not in stately palace hall,
But in stable. in the stall;
Warmed by the breath of oxen kind,
The Son of God the seekers find.
For every stricken heart we pray,
May there be love and joy to-day
All pain and strife and sorrow cease,
Goodwill to men-good will and
peace!
