Along with rubbers, corsets, kimonos, camisoles, stockings, dresses, cotton drawers, aprons, bloomers, lingerie, hairpins, princess slips and plug tobacco, he found button shoes listed as an item used by the Department of Labor in calculating its periodic Cost-of-Living index.

Excited, the Dominion government hired Professor Alfred Kitchener Snelgrove of Princeton, and F. W. Foote, Manhattan mining engineer, to make an expert survey. Last week the Government released the first section of their report. Messrs. Snelgrove & Foote said that it was not unlikely gold would be found, added-like a douche of cold water-that so far no ore had been found which assayed over 40? worth of gold...
