In the past two years there were 644 mining propositions submitted to the company, with 392 propositions preâ€" viously looked at. â€" The period covered by the meport at the meeting was for the two years ending June 30th, 1927. It will be noted that the chairman in his address to the shareholders apâ€" peared to be disappointed because out of all the properties dealt with the company had not fallen upon a big mine. dn view of the fact that literâ€" ally scores of mines are being opened up in this North Land, Poreupine, Rouyn, Kirkland Lake and other camps contributing, it would appear that the country is not at fault, and consequently the Mfficulty must lie with the company‘s methods. _ One point that is likely to impress the thoughtful man acquainted with the methods of other mining companies is that the Porenpine Goldfields Developâ€" ment and Finance Company, Limited may be looking at too many properties and not looking at any particular one long enough. Any company that will handle 644 propositions in two years will not have much time to do much development of big mines. Attention to a defined section appears to be the plan adopted by most successful comâ€" panies. _ The big mining companies TIMMINS BRANCH, « sSOUTH PORCUPINE BRANCH, Annual Meeting of Porcupine Goldfields Development and Finance Company, Limited, at London, England, Reâ€" cently.

In his address to the shareholders at the meeting the chairman saidâ€" ‘‘The chief holding is in the Anâ€" kerite Gold Mine in Poreupine, over which property you will recall that we originally took a development option, subsequently equipping the property with a cyanide mill which has been in operation since June, 1926. The reâ€" sults of the first year‘s working did not come up to our expectations, the grade of ore when milled being found to be considerably below the average of the assays taken of the ore in the mine, due, it has been established, chiefly to unexpected erratic distriâ€" bution of values and irregular. vein formation. These conditions were somewhat in evidence during the mine| development period, and all previous ‘alculations were based on the expecâ€" tation of a fairly heavy dilution: of value in mining, but the lower recovâ€" ery was not anticipated. The average tonnage milled per day since July 1 has been increased, and the property is now being operated at a small profit and should in futur ebe selfâ€"supporting providing the ore continues of the present average grade and the mull tonnage of at least 6,000 tons per month is maintained. At June 30, the minable ore on and above the 475â€"foot level was estimated at 135,â€" 000 tons, or 1% to 2 years‘ supply at a production rate of 200â€"250 tons i Travel is made easy Reduced allâ€"year touris , stop overprivilegesan D.

As the number of outside shows visiting the North Land is limited, and the quality of those coming not always too good, the people of Kirkâ€" land Lake should appreciate the serâ€" vice given by the dramatic club. One more indication of the interest taken in Canada‘s mineral wealth and the mining industry is given by the publication by the Canadian Bank of Commerce of an attractive booklet entitled, ‘‘The Mineral Wealth of Canada.‘‘ â€" ‘"*It is both nunwige_ and unnecessary to makeâ€" extravagant statements regarding the mining industry and the bright promise for‘ its fnturse,"‘‘. says H..
