No photographer's imprint on the mount of this cabinet card. No doubt in my mind that this is a prairie photo. A pen and ink inscription on the reverse reads, "Jarvis and his favourite roadster".
Jarvis must have sent this one back to the folks in Ontario to impress them with his coat, horse, rig and new home under construction.
Found at the Christie antique show and sale on Saturday at the Christie Conservation Area in Dundas, Ontario.
Caspian Mine Headframe
The Caspian Mine Headframe is a steel mining building located at north of Caspian Road. The Caspian Mine opened in 1903, the second of three mines opened by the Verona Mining Company. Verona later sold the mine to the Pickands-Mather Company. The original headframe was wooden; the current structure was built as a replacement in 1921. The headframe is a 106 foot high steel-framed structure clad in corrugated steel siding. It is about 25 feet by 10 feet at the base and tapers to about 10 feet by 10 feet at the top. The stanchions constructed to support steel cables leading from the hoisthouse to the headframe are located nearby.
This headframe is significant as the oldest remaining headframe in Iron County. The Caspian Mine was the most productive mine in the county from its opening in 1903 until its closing in 1937. Pickands-Mather Company, the operator of the Caspian, eventually deeded the headframe, engine house, and the surrounding 5.5 acres to the Iron County Historical and Museum Society.
Special Afternoon Plenary Sessions
PLENARY SESSION l: CAN CITIES BE DESIGNED FOR HEALTH AND PROSPERITY?
A child born in 2016 is likely to live their adult life in a city. How will they access healthy food, obtain a decent home and job, and move throughout the cities of the future? As urban populations around the world grow steadily every year and city landscapes shift, we are prompted to envision the unique challenges and opportunities to come for all cities—whether they are centuries-old, newly designed, or yet to be built in Asia and Africa. These cities of the future have great potential to create economic opportunities and combat diseases common in urban settings, such as chronic diseases and depression. Depending on our actions today, newly built and evolving cities can save the global economy $46 trillion in health costs over the next two decades, as well as create prosperity for the hundreds of millions of children born this year and beyond.
In this session, leaders from the private, public, and nonprofit sectors will discuss how CGI members can:
• Provide access to low-carbon, affordable transportation, housing, and healthy food for all.
• Motivate urban residents and organizations to invest in healthier social and physical environments and behaviors.
• Leverage technology to build smart cities that connect infrastructure, communities, and people.

This 1908 real photo tall-tale postcard by William H. Martin shows presidential candidate William Howard Taft (later president, 1909-1913) at a campaign whistle stop. Martin evidently intended the oversized vegetables that surround the railroad car and crowd to represent the prosperity that would result if voters elected Taft president.

A blue rose is a flower of the genus Rosa (family Rosaceae) that presents blue-to-violet pigmentation instead of the more common red, white, or yellow. Blue roses are often portrayed in literature and art as a symbol of love and prosperity to those who seek it, but as a result of genetic limitations do not exist in nature. White roses have been dyed blue.

Over 1,300 personnel from all three armed services, veterans and cadets made the 2019 National Armed Forces Day parade in Salisbury the largest one to date. Originally conceived as Veterans Day, the name of the event was changed in 2009 to National Armed Forces Day to celebrate the contributions of both past and present members of the British Armed Forces. Taking place on the last Saturday of June, the parade is one aspect of a whole weekend where the national lead event is hosted by a different town or city each year around the UK.
The national event was held from 28 to 30 June 2019 in Salisbury and hosted by Wiltshire Council and its council leader Baroness Scott of Bybrook OBE.
Her Royal Highness Princess Anne reviewed the parade on 29 June 2019 of more than 1,300 service personnel, cadets and veterans and took the salute on the dais in front of the Guildhall, accompanied by the Mayor of the City of Salisbury John Walsh, as the procession went by. The parade was preceded by a fly past by the Red Arrows at 10 am. The parade was led by a detachment from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, followed by bands and marching contingents from the three armed services, veterans and cadets and finished with the British Army units which hold the Freedom of the City of Salisbury.
The order of the procession was as follows:
Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster David Lidington, Defence Secretary Penny Mordaunt, senior military officers and civic dignitaries also watched the parade.
Defence Secretary, Penny Mordaunt said: “On Armed Forces Day we celebrate the exceptional contribution service personnel, regular or reservist, veterans and their families make to our security and prosperity. The Armed Forces protect us and defend us around the world and serve communities throughout our country. With more than 300 events taking place across the UK, it’s incredible to see people coming together to show their support for the Armed Forces.”
The national event provided an opportunity to welcome the troops returning from Germany to Wiltshire, as one-quarter of the British regular army will be based in the county by 2020.
The Armed Forces and Salisbury have a close and historic relationship and the national event gave the people of Salisbury the chance to thank the Armed Forces for their tireless support towards the city’s recovery following the Novichok poison attacks in 2018.
Baroness Scott of Bybrook OBE, leader of Wiltshire Council, said: “Wiltshire is the beating heart of the Armed Forces and we are extremely proud of our long association with the military. The Armed Forces Day National Event is a unique opportunity to recognise and pay tribute to the specialist military teams, the emergency services and the other organisations that managed the incident and the subsequent clean-up that has helped south Wiltshire to return to normal.”
