The older companies appear to be governed too much by a desire to find similar conditions as are familiar on their already known proâ€" perties. In connection with the Red Lake field, Mr. J. A. McRea, representative for The Mail.

In addition to having asâ€" sured themselves of steady employâ€" ment, they haveâ€"also found a way in â€"which to participate in the profits beâ€" ing derived from the prosperous gold mining industrv.‘‘ SETTLER AT HEARST A SUFFERER FROM FInZ ‘‘The reasons for the decline in costs are many. Material and supâ€" plies are less expensive. A more aâ€" bundant _ supply of â€" hydroâ€"electric power has been provided. Cost of power has declined with the gradual increase in the seope of operations at the mines. â€" Modern machinery is beâ€" ing employed in every possible way. Not only this, but the workers in the mines are giving a higher degree of efficiency than ap any previous time in the history of gold mining in this province. By having contributed to the factors which have strengthened the physical condition of the mines, it is one of rewards of the emâ€" ployes of the mining compani¢és that theyâ€"have fortified theâ€"position of the industry in which they are engaged; and, in doing this, they have assured themselves of steady employment and with ‘general prosperity among all ranks. * **Now, however, with average costs coming down, it is found that a large tonnage of former waste is automatiâ€" cally being converted into payable ore. Average costs in Poreupine are now down to close to $4 per ton, and it is evident that possibly a million or soâ€"tons of former waste rock has been converted into valuable ore reâ€" serve. ' ‘* When average costs were at about $5 per ton, it naturally followed that the average grade of ore had to be over $5 per ton. It meant that average ralue@s of $4.99 per ton could not hc classified as ore, Writing last week in The Mail and Empire, Mr. J. A. McRea says:â€" ‘‘A steady decline in the cost of mining and milling gold ore in the Poreupme and Knk]und Lake disâ€" tricts of Northern Ontario is adding hundreds of thousands of tons of ore to the résources of the mines, hundâ€" reds of thousands of tons which twoa or three years ago could haxe been classified as nothing but waste rock.

Take the working man away from Timmins, and we would not need any storeâ€" keepers or councils, or halfâ€"holidays.

Along with lots of others he had a four years‘ vacation where there were real ‘‘tanks‘‘ and something harder than ‘‘Sand and.

If the town council have no jurisdiction, as regards the half holiâ€" day, and the costs of box rents, then they might draw the Government‘s atâ€" tention to the matter. I might also mention that my 1926 assessment notice lay in the local office over Cay eek. I received it the fourth time I called at the general delivery. _ I drew the “Assessment Commissioner ‘s‘‘ attention to the matter, as I did not get the notice till a day after it was tnue. As he has not reported the matter to the cil, well it‘s hardly worth while reâ€" portmrr it myself now. To the Editor of the Poreupine Advance, Timmins. , Sir:â€"You will ho doubt, be surâ€" prised to read in a poster distributed in town that the Dominion regulaâ€" tions govern the local post office. 1 was always under the impression that the local office governed itself, as regard half holidays‘ and box rents. You will also note that ‘*Oldâ€" timer‘‘ is the tool of disgruntled poliâ€" ticians, and newspapermen. If the old council are the disgruntled poliâ€" ticians, well I never met any of them, and I certainly do not want to know any of the new ones. m "Old Timer" Deals With Old Post Office and New Council s tats! * B s l Wns 4 *h io t 2 I 5 3 e Promises and the Performances of the New Council .“q ,DQ Some,t,hing Startliflg and New is the New Counâ€" gls Mot_‘t(-).» he says Sarcastically.

He hits the nail on the head, driving home the facts,, and neatly: clinching them on the: other side.â€"Editor] l I f ‘* Oldâ€"timer‘‘ [Noteâ€"Most of Oldâ€"Timer‘s letâ€" ter is fair and pointed, but The Adâ€" vance thinks he leaves a wrong imâ€" pression in the implication in his letter that storekeepers and clerks are not ‘‘workingâ€"men.‘‘ Even in this ‘‘taxâ€"less"" year they have to work and work hard. Even had they the halfâ€"holiday the â€"year round, they would work longer hOlll’fSfi than the average man in mine or .m'é'and much longer than the average man on conâ€" struction work or at ane of the trades. While work in a store may not be hard work physically, it is much harder on the nerves and the health than the manual labour. The average clerk is labourâ€" ing sixtyâ€"four hours a week or more, with no. ovértime, as against the usual fiftyâ€"four hours a week for labour in general. _ The post office, on the other hand, is supposed to be open certain specified hours, irrespective of holiâ€" days, and its staff should be sufficient to allow proper hours for all employ: ed.~ The accommodation of the pubâ€" lic is the first consideration, and suffiâ€" cient staff should be maintained to assure this, while at the same time providing for fair hours for those employed. The people have a right to demand this. Every: rightâ€"thinkâ€" ing man is desirous of having fair hours, good pay and the best possible conditions for all who labour, irresâ€" pective of what line they may be in. Every advance in one line makes it easier to secure betterment in other lines. . At present the eight;hour day is being used as a fair argument for the benefit of the hours of those who work behind the counter. As for I think the. people of Timmins have had a lesson in town councils this year, and next year we‘ll put in a council that will not need o much criticism., If anyone cannot find any criticism in ‘this lot, then he must have been blinded by Sand and Gravel. \~Provincial Audit Sand and Gravel e Assessment not completed Poll Tax collected and returned Grant from Provincial Government not received.
