Sevâ€" eral gold mines are being put in readiness for the expected coming of power from Gowganda. In the opinâ€" ion, of oldâ€"timers, the future of Shinâ€" in‘gftree looks brighter than in the past eight years.

Preston‘s proposal for the Norâ€" thern Belt line of roads in the desâ€" pateh given below. The development of the Shiningtree area will mean much for the North, and this develâ€" opment will be encouraged and hasâ€" tened by proper transportation faciâ€" lities. With power and the necessary road service, Shiningtree should make great strides. The whole North would be ‘benefitted by this. As Mr. Preston has pointed out, only three short strips of road need be built to make the belt line of roads for this North Land. With this belt line of road Shiningtree would have good road connection with Sudbury and also with Timmins. While Sudbury would get the business from Shiningâ€" tree, there would be advantage to the whole North in indirect way through the impetus given to development.

The others are still very much in the development stage. Some have shafts sunk and hoisting machinery on the properties, but have been held up for power facilities. The Buckingham Mine is showing signs of activity, and at présent a gang of men are on the place putting the buildings in shape and apparently preparing for further work. _ Men have also been working at the Atlas and Kingston mines. The Gibson (Gold Mines, Litd., owned by Buffalo interests are intending to drill the property it is understood, and, if the power scheme goes through to thorâ€"| ganda, and with this practically an assured fact are commencing to reâ€" novate buildings and in at least one instance drill the property. _ The power line to Gowganda was comâ€" menced last year by William Mcâ€" Vittie, of Sudbury, and about eight miles of road was cleared. The crews will be increased this year and the work speeded up. ‘*Lack of power has for years hinâ€" dered the development of the Shiningâ€" tree properties. Many of the owners express confidence in their gold holdâ€" ings, but so far have had only steam power, and the little development work done soon exhausted the supâ€" plies of wood fuel. Operators have anxiously awaited the building of the line from West Shiningtree to Gowâ€" expected to have the line finished to Gowganda by June Ist. .Plans are under way to rush to completion the erection of poles and transmission lines and have all in readiness for operations.

R. ‘Mills, assistant to Mr. Zaâ€" vitz, gave a detailed outline of plans for the coming season. â€" He stated that the Department had considerable money to spend this year and would _ One of the features of the conâ€" vention was the address by Mr. Zavitz. He gave a brief resume of the imâ€" provement achieved in forest fire preâ€" vention methods in the past 15 years. He emphasized the fact that forest fire prevention was an allâ€"yearâ€"round undertaking and not a thing to be dealt with for only a few months in the year as was formerly believed. Mr. Zavitz pointed out how the lumâ€" berman had‘ objected to Government control of forest fire prevention in the early days of 1917 but that the lumâ€" bermen were now in accord with the plan and were yearly offering eonâ€" structive eriticism. It was suggested that lumbermen be invited to attend future meetings. ,| â€"_Mr. E. J. Zavitz, Deputy Minister | of Forestry for Ontario, was present ‘| at the convention and expressed himâ€" ‘| self as personally in favour of the | permit plan though he could not say | what legislative action might. be taken. Travel permits and the reguâ€" | lation and supervision of tourist trafâ€" | fie in the bush has been under discusâ€" sion by the Government for some ‘| years. The question received considâ€" erable attention at the convention {last week when F. A. MceDougall, | District Forester at Sault Ste. Marie, | presented a paper on travel permits and outlined the benefits derived through their use in the Sault area last year. Mr.~MacDougall pointed out that the travel permit system gave the forest rangers a direct hold upon the tourists, so that if a fire broke out in the region they were known to be in, responsibility could be traced. He added that travel permits were also a great aid to the tourists in case of accidents. The permits used by Mr. MacDougall were simple but consise, recording the name of the | tourist, his home address and destinaâ€" tion. In this manner certain statisâ€" ties were compiled showing that about 70 per cent of the tourists in the Soo district came from the United States. With this before them, Mr. MacDougâ€" all said, it‘ was possible to centralize the forest fire prevention publicity. It was the general fecling of the meetâ€" ing that tourists, and settlers were responsible for many of the fires in the bush and that by means of travel permits the fire hazard from tourists could be materially decreased. C. A. Stewart, District Forester for Sudâ€" bury, advised the foresters that they should prepare to close the forests against tourists during any particuâ€" larly hazardous period. Mr. Stewart and other speakers thought that this step should be made possible by specâ€" ial legislation in order to remove tourâ€" ists on short notice. It was also felt that the travel permit plan could be popularized if fire rangers were proâ€" vided with maps and other informaâ€" tion for the benefit of tourists. The general opinion of the experienced foresters present was that a permit system was really a necessity. Reports were made upon the work of the foresters during the past winâ€" ter and time was also given to the examination of different style pumps for fireâ€"fighting purposes. The Ontario Forestry Convention. held at Sudbury last week, went on record as strongly favouring direci supervision of tourist travelers in the woods of Northern Ontario by means of travel permits. _ This was probâ€" ably the Gutstanding item in regard to the convention, at least for the first day‘s sessions. Travel Permits Favoured by Forestry Convention Gathering of District Foresters, Chief Rangers and Others Connected with the Forestry Service, at Sudbury, Last Week. Many Questions of Interest and Importance Discussed. l THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Will the members of the above make special effort to attend as urgent and important business must be attended The following committees are reâ€" quested to be present:â€"All Branch Officers, Entertainment, Finance and Adnsory Committees. A meeting of the combined commitâ€" tees of the local branch of the Canaâ€" dian Legion is called for toâ€"night at 8.00 p.m. in the Kingston Hotel. A number of other questions were dealt with, some of which are referred to elsewhere in this issue. Among those attending the convenâ€" tion were:â€"E. J. Zavitz, Deputy Minister of Forestry, Toronto; C. R. Mills, Assistant Deputy, Toronto; G. M. Dallyn, of the Canadian Forestry Association, Ottawa; L. M. Chesley W. D. Cram, Fire Inspector at Sioux Lookout, Ont., spoke of the hardships of forest fire prevention work in the Red Lake district. He mentioned the pioneer work being accomplished in establishing airplane bases and in fighting fires under severe handicaps. Planes, he said, were of great benefit in that section where canoe transporâ€" tation was slow and tedious. Mr. Cram was one of the delegates who evidently valued the airship service. The possibilities in detail of forest fire protection through the use of airship service were referred to very effectively by Major C. J. Clayton, of Sault Ste. Marie, and Mr. R. N. Jolunson, of Toronto. Major Clayton discusged the inadequacy of the Curâ€" tiss H.S. 2L planes for patrol work. They had, Major Clayton said, many defects and were fast â€"becoming obsoâ€" lete. Mr. Zavitz reported that four new ‘*‘Moth‘‘ planes had been purâ€" chased from England and would be used this year for experimental purâ€" poses. The references to the airship service in forest patrol were received with special interest. 3 That securing coâ€"operation in fire prevention from the lumbermen was a matter of personal relationship, was emphasized by W. R. Haddaw, Disâ€" triet Forester at Oba. _ Mr. Haddow povited out that complete coâ€"operaâ€" tion with the lumbermen and pulp operators was of prime importance if the Forestry Department‘s efforts were to be crowned with success. He illustrated his point by reference to the cordial feeling which existed beâ€" tween lumbermen and fire rangers in Algonquin Park. _ ‘"That spirit of mutual interest and aid makes the whole fire protection machinery run smoothly. The _ lumbermen _ are anxious with us to prevent the oc currence of fires. We are only valuâ€" able where we preserve a permanent forest production,"‘ said Mr. Haddow. 1 embark upon an extensive building programme.
