The truth is that in the matter of power, the prospects are better for Porecupine than for any of the other mining camps of the North, and as good as most of the industrial centres of the south. ‘(Cobalt has felt the pinch of power shortage already. Kirk land Lake has also ‘been affected. The Beaver Consolidated, to quote last week‘s Northern (Miner, ‘‘after strugâ€" gling with low air pressure for two weeks, decided to close down all minâ€" ing and milling operations until the power situation improves."‘‘ Again to quote The Northern Miner, the Peterâ€" son tailings mill was closed for lack of power. Once again, the Keeley ‘Mine in South Lorrain had to elose on aeâ€" count of power shortage. In Kirkâ€" land Lake a twentyâ€"five per cent. reâ€" duction has been made to the power supplied to the mines there. The Kirkland Lake mines, however, have been using steam power to augment the decreased supply of electricity with the result that mines like the Lake Shore, and Kirkland Lake have been running to full capacity, the Teckâ€"Hughes to threeâ€"fourths of capâ€" acity, and the Ontario Kirkland and Hunton at half capacity. It will thus be noiiced that Poreupine to date is enjoying a better situation than any of the other camps so far as power is concerned, and Cobalt is the poorest off of the lot. Yet Cobalt has been do ing an undue amount of talking about the power situation in the Poreupine. In the matter of power Cobalt apparâ€" ently will have all it can do to mind its own business, this winter, that is provided, of course, that Cobalt can have availalble enough power to keep Cobalt on the map. Judging from the prominence given the question as it relates to the Porâ€" cupine Camp in the newspapers published in Cobalt and vicinity one migzht well believe that this Camp was the chief sufferer on earth from the present power shortage. This is what it is to have kind but poortyâ€"informed neighbors or imagined rivals. The truth is that the Poreupine is perhaps in the ‘best position of any mining camp of the Norht Land in regard to power. There is no present shortage to power and under the worst conâ€" ditions there is not likely to be any shortage for some months. A thaw and rains now would practically guaâ€" rantee a continuous power supply at present consumption, while a January thaw (prophesied and fully believed in by many oldâ€" timers here) would achieve the same good result. The heavy rains reported during the past two weeks from the Sudbury district should also have a noteworthy effect on the Poreupine‘s power supply. As the big mines here are putting into use steam auxiliaries, the power supâ€" ply is to lbe still further guarded and conserved. The Cobalt and district newspapers made a great spread over the proposal of the Power Company to reduce the present supply of power to each of the larzer consumers by 25 per cenrt., but the outside newspapers forgot to feature the fact that nothing had ‘been done in this line and there was miuch probability that nothing would be needed. They also neglected to emphasize the truth that any reâ€" duction thus made would be made sole ly to conserve the supply and assure fully a continuous supply of power until the spring came and the proâ€" blem was solved automatically. ‘The power problem seems to ‘be general throughout Ontario this year. ‘The South is handicapped by it just about as much as the North. Yet newsâ€" papers in the south (or at least some of them) following the Cobalt lead, talk as if Poreupine were preâ€"eminent ly a sufferer in the matter of power shortage. Perhaps, the outside newsâ€" papers forget their own real troubles in imagining ones for this gold camp. Cobalt and Other Camps Find Minss Forced to Close, on Account Of Shortage.
