TIMMINS, ONTARIG. ment affects the C.P.R. and the C.N R. The T. N.O. Railway, not being a Dominion railway, does not come under the ruling, but the promptness with which the T.N.0. Commisâ€" sioners have followed the rulings of the federal board when they brought about reductions in freight charges to the mining fraternity leaves no doubt in The Northern Miner‘s opinion that the new rates will be inaugurated by this railway as well. ‘The reduction will be received all over the North with cheers. Mining operations earried on considerable distance from magazines will find their powder freight bills distinctly lessened. Even with such a_ short distance as that between Cobalt and Swastika the saving will be as the following examples show: The rate from Cobalt to Swastika is 50 cents a hundred, double that‘s one dollar. A typical shipment to a small miring operation is 40 cehses, 2280 lbs. ‘That will go for $22.80; former price was $50. the minimum, 5,000 lbs. â€" Manuy storekeepers buy but 10 cases at a time, 570 lbs. They would get ths blupment for the new «reneml miniâ€" mum, $6, where for mexl\ they would bave paid $50. . This will bring down the price of ‘the powder for prospecs tors who buy from storekeepers, as many do, and will also promote a bigâ€" ger business in dynamite for storeâ€" keepers in the smaller camps. At present a prospector can get a minimum freight rate of $6. on a case of powder by showmg., a prospector‘s license. With two licenses he : can ship two cases, each at $6 minimum. almost every country in the, world. Canadians have a right to feel proud of this success because every bottle sold is a message to someone about the quality of "Madeâ€"inâ€"Canada,‘ goods.

He can now ship six cases for $6 minimum the lot. ‘*Undoubtedly this ruling will have a farâ€"reaching effect on assessment work and general preliminary explorâ€" ation work in the North for it will enâ€" courage the greater use of dynamite and therefore the more thorough exâ€" ploratlon of showings. ‘"It is expected, oddly enough, to lessen the accident hazard as dynaâ€" mite will be kept in fresher and betâ€" terâ€"condition by the small dealers. The ruling brings about what is pracâ€" tically a restoration of the rates preâ€" vailing five years ago, then jumped up by the bigger railways." VALUE OF PRESENT MINISTER OF MINES TO THE INDUSTRY The following is from a recent isâ€" sue of The Financial Times :â€" ‘‘The mining industry of Canada is at the moment fortunate in having, in most of the Provinces in which it is carried on, a man of unusual vision and energy in the office of the Minisâ€" ter of â€"Mines of the Province. This is notably the case in the greatest of all the mining Provinces, ‘Ontario, where the Hon Charles: MeCrea is really the idol of the mining communâ€" ity of which he is the official head. The spirit of coâ€"operation in which the Ontario Department of Mines carries on its work in relation to the efforts of the producing and prospectâ€" ing companies is very remarkable, and has had not a little to do with the astonishing progress, of the Ontario areas. The missionary work done by the Minister himself in s addresses both in England and in Canada, the rapidity with which maps and geoâ€" logical information are made availâ€" able to those who need them, gnd the sound judgment displayed in healing with novel and difficult problems, are all matters on which the Ontario minâ€" ing industry should and does congratâ€" ulate itself very heartily. *A similar disposition exists in both British Columbia and Quebec, the other oreat mining Provinces, and the infant mining mdua*z of Maniâ€" toba seems to be assured of a thorâ€" oughly sympathetic from Premier Bracken and other members of his cabinet. It is rot many years since the chief lament of mining men in Canada was concerned with the slowness, apathy and _ sometimes downright hostility of the Mining Dcâ€" partments. _ There has been great progress since that time.‘ My. M. MacBride, M.P.P., who is assisting in the Conservative election campaign here, has emphasized the desirability . of keeping away from personahtlea and abuse of all kinds. ‘*Don‘t. start any mudâ€"slinging or personalities,‘‘ has been his advice. ‘*If personalities are to be indulged in, at least wait until the others start that sort of thing,"‘‘ he has said. His oftâ€"expressed wish has been to have a clean fight ~without personal reférâ€" ences. In South Temiskaming, apâ€" parently, the personal note has been introduced, to judge from the report of a Liberal meeting in The New Lisâ€" keard Speaker last week. In part, The. Speaker says:â€"*‘‘*Mr. McKelvie charged that Premier Meighen ‘‘had slept too long in a short bed, and, had contracted cold feet,"‘ and ‘‘as no woman liked cold feet,""‘ he ‘*expectâ€" ed all the women would vote for Mae Lang.‘‘ ‘‘COLD FEET‘‘ WARMING UP ELECTION IN®*SOUTH RIDING Naturally, ~such statements will rouse the Conservatives to make reply in kind, for instance, to the effect that at least Mr. Meighen‘s feet are clean, like his hands, and that women prefer clean feet to those soiled with grafted dirt. It is easy enough to start a war, and those who are so zealous for international peace are usually the kind that seem to love a ficht at home. DOMINION EXPRESS CO. CHANGING ITS NAME, ETC. After fortyâ€"four years of operation during which it has grown up with the country and contributed in no small way to Canadian development, the Dominion Express Company will no longer be known by that. name. After Sept(‘mher first next that great transportation agency will be known as the Canadian Pacific Express Comâ€" pany. In all parts of Canada and the United States and throughout the civilized world signs on the windows of the many hundreds of branch ofâ€" fices will be changed, and thus will be forged a still closer link with the great parent company whose railroad, steamships and hotels are known aâ€" round the world. To mark the change of name the Company has issued an attractive little booklet giving a short history of its career and a synopsis of its present wideâ€"spread activities.. The Dominion Express Company was inâ€" corporated in 1873, but it was in 1882 that Mr. Ven Horne, then president of the C.P.R. took it over as an operâ€" ating part of the Canadian Pacific Rallwa). Mr. G. A. Kirkpatrick, later Sir George Kirkpatrick, Lt.â€"Gov. of Ontario, was its president, and Mr. W. S. Stout, a young but thoroughly experienced express man became its superintendent. Mr. Stout is today president and has for many years guided its fortunes in that capamty For some years he and his assisâ€" tants had a hard and uphill fight They not only moved traffic but helpâ€" ed create it by finding Canadian and foreign markets for Canadian proâ€" ducts and jby scientific rate making encouraging the farmer, fruit grower, and others whose markets were far aâ€" way. The growth of the company over these many years is an interestâ€" ing story and it is an iunportant chapâ€" ter in the commercial history of this country and its present position where it is daily entrusted with hunâ€" dreds of millions of dollars in goods and treasure by the public, business institutions and the government is a matter forâ€" justifiable pride.

P.A. ROBBINS MAY TAKE GHARGE DF THE HOWEY Persistent Rumour That For General Manager of Hollinger Will Join Mr,. John Hammell. There is a rumour that will not down that Mr. P. A. Robbins, forâ€" merly General Manager of the Hollinâ€" ger, will take charge of the Howey property. _ Mr. Robbins has been at Red Lake for some time past, and while it was given out that he was visiting there simply on a holiday, there is a general opinion that interâ€" est in the new camp was more likely than a holiday to bring Mr. Robbins to Red Lake. _ About the time that the announcement was made that the Dome had dropped the Howey option the story was current that Mr. Robâ€" bins was in Red Lake for a group of Chicago financiers, and was ready to take over any good propostition that might offer. There have been many references to the matter in the daily newspapers in the last few days. A particularly interesting article was in a recent isâ€" sue of The Toronto Mail Empire. The Mail Empire in part said :â€" ‘*I am definitely informed that the diamond drill results on the Howey were quite favourable, and that the decision of Dome Mines Company to withdraw was more on account of the: severity of the terms of the deal rath= er than to any other cause. For some time the rumour has persisted that Dome would quit on the Howey, but a general opinion seemed to exist that this was pure bluff. _ Events have shown, however, that Dome was deâ€" termined <to secure modification of terms or carry out its plans to withâ€" draw. â€"On the other hand, Mr. Hamâ€" mell hag frequently expressed a wish to be rid of Dome, and there need be no doubt entertained that the manaâ€" ger of the Howey Red Lake Syndicate is pleased with the decision of Dome Mines Company to withdraw. Your correspondent has just learned that John E. Hammell, manager of Howey, has submitted a proposition to Percy Robbins, and that Mr. Robbins is favourably impressed. It may be reâ€" called that Mr. Robbins was general manager of, Hollinger Gold Mines through the earlier years of developâ€" ment of that mine, and right up to the time that the enterprise had taken its place among the world‘s greatest gold mines. Mr. Robbins stands among the more highly capable mining men of the present time. The proâ€" posed new deal with Mr. Robbins is indicated to be along lines which would finance the enterprise for most A Card Party and Musical proâ€" ecramme, with bridge, five hundred and euchre, under the auspices of the Golden Chapter, 1.0.D.B., 'J‘nummn, will be held in St. Anthony‘s R.
