A syndicate named Charlrand plans northern Manitoba mining of ochre and amber at Cedar Lake with operations to begin this winter. Staking will finish by autumn and funds are reported available. Licensing delays due to absent dredging rules, but officials expect licenses soon. Surveys indicate Cedar Lake’s bed largely comprises amber from ancient forest decay. A US paint firm investigates ochre potential and a sale deal for northern Manitoba seems likely.

Alberta Hatcheries Pioneers Profitable Poultry Enterprise At Vegreville
All Accredited Stock Ninety thousand baby chicks were sold from the Alberta Hatcheries Ltd at Vegreville this year. The hatchery, started with capital from about twenty local men, sources eggs from accredited flocks and also imports chicks from British Columbia to fill orders. Operators Will J. Gould and district agriculturist F. H. Newcombe helped build the business, which aims to expand with a homemade 100000 egg incubator and a 15000 egg electric incubator. The venture grew from efforts to raise poultry to a more businesslike farm activity and improve flock quality and standards.
