Since the war began, gold mining has been beset with many difficulties, and the mins managements deserve much credit for keeping things runâ€" ning as well as they have done. _ in addition to the difficulties common to all other enterprises,â€"the difficulties due to the searcity and high prices of labor and materials,â€"gold mining has had the unusual disadvantage of havâ€" ing no increase in the selling price of the product. Gold has remaimed at its former price while practically all other metals, and practically everyâ€" thing else, have increased in price.

LAXD TDO BE PREPARED FOR PROOUCTION The special Production Commuttee]: of the Board of Trade met last night | and completed plans for increasing production. First a fiveâ€"acre section of the ‘best garden land on the west side of the Government Road, west of Timmins, will be completelyeleared fenced, ploughed and made all ready for seeding. â€" This land will be divided into plots of approximately 50. by 100 feet, and anyone leaving name and necessary fee with W. 8. Maepherson at the Town Hall, may have one or more of these plots reserved for this year. _ All the Board of Trade is waitâ€" ing for now is assurance that there will be enough people interested to warrant the work. For the fiveâ€"acre section, the Board wants applications for 40 plots. So that they may know just the extent of public interest they are askin@ that all applications be put in by May 29th. â€" Each applieation for a lot must be accompamed ‘by a fee of $10.. ‘This $10 is to go towards the cost of fencing, ploughing; ete., but each applicant will get much more than his $10° worth.

O ‘Sulliâ€" van as town solicitor was also given the required readings and duly passed. On motion of ‘Councillors Brazeau and Melunis it was decided to lift and make serviceable the walk on Sprusce street, near the Hospital. This stmp of sidewalk is so low as to be subâ€" merged part of the year and practicalâ€" y useless in the other two months. The first idea was to grade the road according to the engineer‘s plans and levels and this would leave the sideâ€" walk about as it should be then. This would hbe a very expensive method, however, as it would mean the lowetrâ€" ing of streect and water mains. . For the present at least the raising of the sidewalk is the more practical remedy. It is thought this can be done for Authority was given the Public Works Committee to spend up to $200 stumping and lifting stones on the streets. _ Chairman Brazeau believed that all the neeessary stumping and removal of stones could be done for the amount named and Council agreed that the work was very necessary and well worth that amount of money. Councillor Pierce brought up the matter of jitneys being permitted to stand on the streets. He instanced one ease where the jitney driver was a good citizen with five children, and the Councillor thought that he should not be handicapped in trying to make a living, The Mayor pointed out that the Town byâ€"law provided that autoâ€" mobiles for hire should only stand at a place designated by the Chief of Police.â€" Reference was also made 10 the fact that at present one of th best street corners in town was being made a jitney stand by a driver who had no other regular business place. This was objected to by the owners of. jitneys who had business places and who thought they paid taxes enoug‘h not to be discriminated against, Some of them said they would not pay their town auto licenses so long as this priâ€" vilege was permitted contrary to the byâ€"law. â€" Councillor Brazeau said he thought it an unfair discrimination. The Mavor said that while this might be so, he did not like the suggestion that one man would not pay his license beeause he thoughtâ€"some other man was securing preference. _ All must pay their licenses and all must obâ€" serve the byâ€"law.
