Timmins PORCUPINE HAS GIVEN CANADA ITS PLAGE AS THIRD AMONG WORLD‘S PRODUCERS OF GOLD Canada now ranks third among the world‘s gold producers, being exceedâ€" ed only by the Transvaal and the United States. The latter has deâ€" creased in gold production from $101,. 600,000 in 1915 to $45,300,000 last year, while Canada has increased from $19,000,000 a dozen years ago to $35,â€" 700,000 for 1926. Canada is aecordâ€" ingly fast on the way ot taking second place as a world producer of gold. [t is the Poreupine that has | Canada its high place in the world‘s | zold production. Since 1910 the Porâ€" upine has produced a total of close o $200,000,000 in gold. Last year Porâ€" cupine‘s contribution to gold producâ€" tion was $23,680,605, or seventyâ€"five per cent. of Ontario‘s gold production. Russia, with a production of $18,000,â€" 000 in gold in 1926, is fourth on the list of the world‘s gold producers, so it is easy to see that Poreupine may now be considered as a good third in the â€"world‘s producers, with fair chance of being second at no very distant date. | Poreupine was first seriously prosâ€" pected in 1909. Among the prospec. tors \here at that time may be menâ€" tioned : Benny Hollinger, Alex Gillies, Sandy Melntyre, Barney McEnaney, Jack Wilson, Harry Preston, George Bannerman, T. Vipond, and uthers.{ The names of some of these prospecâ€" tors are preserved in successful minâ€" ing properties of the present day. The first mine to be worked in the Poreuâ€" pine was the Hunter at Golden City. The Hollinger and Dome, however, soon outclassed the first mine. The Hunter has been idle for years, while the Dome and Hollinger have develâ€" oped into big propositions. The Holâ€" linger is the largest individua goldâ€" producing property on the continent and bids fair to take the first place as a regular ‘‘gold factory.‘‘ The Mcâ€" Intyre, after some years of discour. avement, has won outstanding success and is now one of the big producers, with an assured future of still greater progress. The following is the proâ€" duction of the Poreupine since the first bullion was made in this ecamp: Year.

For the vear 1926 three mines, Hollinger, Dome and Melntyre, paid to shareâ€" holders the sum of $8,510,268. So far this year the above three mines and the Vipond have distributed over five and a half million dollars, the exact fizcure being $5,555,334. Up till the end of 1926 this camp paid in diviâ€" dends $55,665,566, and, with the disâ€" bursements so far this year the total exceeds $61,000,000.

Dividends of $11,214,173 have been paid to shareholders. Dome last year failed to keep up with the flatâ€" tering record of the other big produc. ers in the camp, but if the Dome were in another ecamp it would likely be eonsidered as an unusually good mine. Production continues around $300,000 per month. For the first six months of this year production and profit figâ€" ures were about the same as last year. Exploration is being cearefully carried along at depth and big things are exâ€" pected from this. The sinking of a winze to the 3,0000â€"ft. level is just about completed, and when this is completed the property is to be thorâ€" oughly explored at depth.

Extremely low costs are indicated on the strength of the great width of the deposit. depth of elose to a quarter of : Poreupine â€" Crown, â€" Thompson and Inspiration properties, all is one of the Deloro township group of promising properties. Whereas the ore found in other mines of the Por.. cupine district is in the form of veins which oceur in schisted or sheared keewatin in close proximity to intruwdâ€" ing ‘bodies of porphyry, yet on the Paymaster Mine the chief asset in the way of ore is the porphyry forâ€" mation itself, in which mineral is uniformly â€" distributed. _ Paymaster has one of the most complete and upâ€" toâ€"date small plants on the continent, The Premier Paymaster mine in Deloro township started production last year, and has good prospects. It is one of the Deloro township group Coniaurum Mine The Coniaurum is likely to be the next producer in the Poreupine camp. This mine is a consolidation of the Newray, Anrmstrongâ€"Booth and Goldâ€" ale claims. Considerably over $1,â€" 000,000 has been spent on the develâ€" opment of the property. Work has been earried to a depth of 1,500 feet. A lot of ore ‘has been developed, and this is thought to be continued from a depth of 1,500 feet to 2,000 feet. Other Properties In addition to the properties menâ€" tioned above there are a number with unusually promising prospects. It is understood that there is great likelhâ€" hood of the Hayden Mine in Ogden township being reâ€"opened at an early date. A reâ€"organization of the Consoliâ€" dated West Dome Lake took place this year. The mill was closed down a short time ago, pending refinancing and the carrying out of a further+«deâ€" velopment programme. Recent deâ€" velopment work has opened up interâ€" esting possibilities on the old West Dome, Preparations are now under way for more extensive development, and this will be carried down to the 1,200â€"foot level. Lateral work will also ‘be started on the old West Dome HoMER L. (â€"IBsOoXNXN Paymaster Private Wires to a‘l Branches ist, 1927 67 Yonge #treet TORONTO ground as soon as powel there.

Opportunity for Capital The Poreupine camp offers practicâ€" ally unlimited opportunity for the capitalist who is ready to invest his money in likely properties. The Porâ€" cupine is awaiting such eapital to furâ€" ther develop» the resources here. Kamiskotia The most important new area openâ€" ed up in several years past is the Kamiskotia â€" district. Here the copâ€" perâ€"gold _ discoveries have attracted w mld wide attention. There have been a number of properties in Kamâ€" iskotia sold to the big mining comâ€" panivs, practically all of whom have investigated Kamiskotia. â€" The Holâ€" linger, together with practically all of the otho big mines, has properties in Kamiskotia, but in regard to these claims the Hollinger has followed its usual business policy of saying noâ€" thing about the matter. The Hollinâ€" ger is proceeding with the business of testing out the properties, and that is all there is to it. The general opinâ€" ion seems to be that Kamiskotia is going to prove a big camp, with many mines to add to the prosperity of Poreupine. MILLINERY OPENING AT THFE FRENCH SHOPPE, HERE The French Shoppe, in the Hotel (Goldfields block, Pine street, Timmins, announces its fall showing of select millinery.

This bus was from Swastika and Kirkland Lake and brought about twenty visâ€" itors to town for the day. Though not as large nor as elegant as some of the many buses owned in this camp itself, the visiting bus was a nice one, and being the first outside bus to reach here over the roadway it came in for much notice.
