AIRPLANES IN CANADA
FIGHT FOREST FIRES

OTTAWA, April 5.-Canadian air
pilots flew 294,449 miles, carried
9153 passengers and handled 1850
pounds of freight last year, according
to a report prepared by the Canadian
Air Board.
Pilots remained in the air 4,347
hours, the report shows. Saskatche-
wan aviators led the Dominion in
passenger work, carrying 1922 peo-
pie Manitoba pilots were next, carry
ing 1922 passengers. British Column
bia was third, taking care of 1,122 pas
sengers.
"The trend in aviation" says the
report, "is away from flying purely for
pleasure The tendency is toward COM
mercial utilization of planes, evidenced
by the great increase in the amount
of freight handled by airplanes dur
ing the year.
Gan interesting development has
been the growth Of aerial photography
Lumber and pulp and paper compan'
les especially have been active in this
direction, many of them having their
entire limits photographed from air
planes. In the mountainous region OF
British Columbia west of the vast
agricultural stretch of the prairie, the
Dominion Geodetic survey was great
ly assisted by airplanes which were
able to traverse the country and make
photographs where it was impossible
for the surveyor to go on foot"
Utilization of airplanes in combat
ting forest fires in British Columbia
and Quebec formed an important part
of the Canadian air service, the re-
port says. The Dominion has twenty
seaplanes and five land machines pro
tecting it's vast forest resources. Tim
Der stands valued at millions of dol
lars were saved during the year
through the efficiency of the air
plane patrol service in reporting out,
breaks and rushing fire-fighters and
equipment to the scene of conflagra'
tons.

AMERICAN CAPITAL
TO REBUILD ANC0RA

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 5. -
British commercial interests are Civ
ing much attention to the efforts of
American business houses to OBJ
tain concessions from the Kemalist
Government. The Federation Of
British Industries, in letter to it's
members, points out the growing &C
tivities of American capitalists at
Angora, and urges them not to over
look this economic invasion Of Asia
Minor.
The federation mentions the So
called Chester project for the con-
struction of Angora as modern
capital, and says the plan calls for
the building of an entirely new
town, quite Independent Of the old
capital. The city is to be construed
on wholly modern lines, embodying
electric supply, telephones, broad av-
enues, skyscrapers, modern drainage
and water supply and new govern
ment buildings.
Another American concern, it is
stated, has made proposal for the
erection in different places in Ana
tolia of special workshops for the
manufacture and repair of agricult-
ural implements. To put this scheme
into operation it is proposed to float
a Turkish company, 80 per cent Of
whose capital would be supplied by
Americans and the remainder by
Turks, while the personnel of the
factories would be recruited from
native labor. This proposal, it is
said, has already been adopted in
principle by the Ministry Of National
Economy.

ANCIENT SILVER MINE
HAS BEEN REVIVED

SAN FRANCISCO, April 5.-Cande
laria, an old silver mining camp IN
western Nevada, which produced near
ly $2O,000,00O in the latter part OF the
last century, is being worked again
according to the United States Geolog
ical Survey here.
In the early days the ore averaged
$50 or more to the ton and it was
thought, when this high-grade "petered
out" that the mine had ceased to be
a paying proposition. But the prog
ress made in metallurgy during the
last few years has rendered possible
the efficient mining Of the lOw-grade
ore.
