From despatches and from interâ€" views with members of the deputation on their return to the North it would appear that Premer Ferguson exâ€" pleswd himself to the effect that gen> ally his Government was preparing a comprehensive scheme of developâ€" ment for Northern Ontario which had revard not to sectional interests but to ‘the progress of the district as a whole. The whole territory, he said, was hroucht under a syvstematic to the North Country to participate in an era of prosperity of which â€"he was unqualifiedly confident.

Melntosh Bell, managing director of the Vipond Consolidated said :â€"â€" _ ‘*Operations â€"below ground at the Vipond Consolidated continue to give gnatifying results. (Most of the work in the mine durisg December and the present month has consisted in the widening to the walls of the various ore bodies on the No. 9â€"14 system of veins, at the 300. 400, 500 and 600â€"ft. levels, along which for the most part only pilot drifts and crosscuts had hitherto been advanced. This work has had the effect of materially inâ€" creasing the proven ore reserves, a recalculation of which will not be made until the end of February. Deâ€" velopment is proceeding on the same system at the 733â€"ft. level with hopeâ€" ful results. Similar. operations will not be undertaken at the 866 and 1,000â€"ft. levels until work at the 733â€" ft. level is ecompleted. Apart from the work on the No. 9â€"14 system, the reserves have been further=agngmentâ€" ed by the favorable development of No. 5 vein‘at the 600â€"ft. level. ‘*The operation of the mill during Decemher may be considered mainly as preliminary tuning, the tonnage treatedâ€"which was purposely mainâ€" ly of dowâ€"gradeâ€"rising to approxiâ€" mately 135 tons a day at the end of the month. A total production of $24,846 was made, derived partly from material passed through the mill and partly from the treatment of a special parcel of highâ€"grade ore. The mill is noew operating at a eapacity of about 150 tons per day, on material of norâ€" mal gerade." Only one member of the 1923 Counâ€" cil was reâ€"elected this year in Bucke Township. R.
