The total value of the raw fur production of the Dominion for the season 1926â€"27 was $18,864,126, as comâ€" pared with $15,072,244 in the previous year, the increase of 25 per cent. being Figures recently given out in regard to the fur industry in Canada will be surprising to many people. This North Land is particularly interested, because much of Ontario‘s raw furs are trappâ€" ed in this North. the following facts and figures the data is for last winter, the season of 19261927 as it‘ is termed.

Pine North Timmins SAUVES PHARMACY 139 Muskrat similarly accounted for the greatest revenue, returning a total of $3,341,446, the average pelt being worth $1.88. Beaver occupied second place with a total of $2,292,871, the average price being $22.85, followed closely by white fox in third place with $2,237,076, with an average pelt value of $43.64. Other high revenue producers were silver fox $1,674,3442; red fox $1,511,891; The total number of pelts of all kinds marketed in the year was 4,289,â€" 233 as compared with 3,686,148 in the previous year, the increase in the total being due to an addition of 807,283 in the number of rabbit pelts and of 60,654 in the number of squirrel pelts. In Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, where fox farmâ€" ing is a leading industry, silver fox leads in order of value of raw fur proâ€" duction. In Quebec and British Colâ€" umbia the beaver is first; in Ontario and the Prairie Provinces the muskrat leads; and in the Northwest Territories the white fox is the principal fur bearer; while in the Yukon Territory the lynx is supreme. Muskrat accountâ€" ed for the greatest number of pelts with a total of 1,774,954, followed by rabbit 1,234,850, and ermine (weasel) with 493,146 and beaver 100,.364 occupyâ€" ing third and fourth places respectâ€" ively. Ontario is the leading province of Canada in fur production, accounting for a value of $3,919,491, or 21 per cent. of the total. Quebec and the Northâ€" west Territories followed closely, the former with $3,065,323 and the latter $2,981,829, each being about 16 per cent. of the total. Alberta with a value of $2,256,353 accounted for 12 per cent. of all production value. British Columâ€" bia‘s value was $1,798,026, Saskatcheâ€" wan‘s $1,621.436, and Manitoba‘s $1,â€" 618,368, each of these representing about 9 per cent . of the total producâ€" tion. Prince Edward Island with $480,â€" 342, New Brunswick with $428,667, the YÂ¥ukon Territory with $382,261, and Nova Scotia with $312,030, each acâ€" counted for approximately 2 per cent. of the total. All the provinces showed increases in total values over the preâ€" vious seasons with the exception of Manitoba, which registered a decrease. attributable to a general advance in the prices of furs. This total comâ€" prises the value of the pelts of furâ€" bearing animals taken by trappers and of those raised on fur farms, the steady advance of the furâ€"farming inâ€" dustry in accounting for a greater proâ€" portion of the annual production being noticeable. From about 3% per cent. in 1920â€"21, the pelts of animals raised on fur farms accounted for 5 per cent. of the year‘s production in 1925â€"26 and increased this to 6 per cent. in 19286â€"27. North Bay Nugget:â€"Doctors say that many people are needlessly alarmâ€" ed over disorders of the heart. Especâ€" ially young people in springtime. Some surface work is to be done but the principal part of the development campaign will be the diamond drilling. Much importance must necessarily be attached to the geology of the area in which is located the Gold Centre Mine. The relative position of the property to the producing mines of the Porcuâ€" pine Camp is also interesting. Accordâ€" ing to reports made from time to time by various mining engineers the geoloâ€" gical conditions existing on these proâ€" perties are practically identical with those on the Hollinger and McIntyre properties which they adjoin. Mining engineers are now surveying the properties of GOld Centre Porcuâ€" pine Mines Limited, according to a statement issued by the Company. The report also points out that the development work which is contemâ€" plated will be under the direction of a prominent mining engineer. The survey would indicate that the fur industry is maintaining its posiâ€" tion as a source of substantial Canaâ€" dian revenue and continues to be found profitable by its followers. The value of production in the season unâ€" der review was greater than in any since 1919â€"20, one of abnormally high prices, which cannot be regarded as representative, this despite the steady penetration of agriculture and the deâ€" velopment of othe rfrontier industries which are irrevocably encroaching on the wilds. In the increasing demand for furs, pelts of animals formerly desâ€" pised have taken on new values and are coming to swell the country‘s revenue from this source and widen the scope of the trapper‘s activities. Muskrat, once very insignifanctly reâ€" garded, is now in general demand and passes through the trade under many aliases, while the pelt of the prolific rabbit, which formerly had no comâ€" mercial value, is being traded in exâ€" tensively. In particular, the fur farâ€" mer is preparing to coâ€"operate on an ever increasing scale with the trapper, whose territory is being curtailed, and the value of pelts sold from fur farms has increased from $388,335 to 1920â€"21 to $1,224,941 in 1926â€"27. The future of the furâ€"farming industry, having reâ€" gard to the many varieties of furâ€" bearing animals being brought under domestication, cannot be regarded otherwise than as significant as offsetâ€" ting any tendency to dimintion in the wild supply of furs. sSURVEYING PROPERTIES OF GOLD CENTRE MINES. mink $1,426,817; coyote or prairie wolf $1,113,453; marten or sable $1,046,819; and lynx $906.477. The pelts to bring the highest individual value in the year were silver fox $91.01; blue fox $64.53; fisher $51.32; cross fox $45.58; white fox $43,64; and lynx $32.58.

In the latter‘ case only one series of photographs is| possible covering the territory immeâ€" I diately beneath the plane.

As a result of this work several new and important map sheets of the National Topographic series on the scale of four miles to an inch will be issued by the Survey. Vertical aeriâ€" al operations varied in size from the photographing of an area of 3,000 miles only. There were fourteen operations coving individual areas of a greater* extent than 100 square miles each and about twentyâ€"five operations of lesser size. By provinces the amount of verâ€" tical aerial work carried on to date during the season was as follows: Nova scotia, 2,000 square miles; New Brunswick, 870; Quebec, 8,470; Ontaâ€" rio, 5,000; Manitoba, 1,680; and British â€"Columbia, 3,890 square miles. ! One of the striking features of the season‘s operations was the taking of vertical aerial photographs of the Lac Seul area and their use in connection with the creation of a reservoir to regulate the filow of waters in the Winnipeg and English rivers, for the development of power. This is anâ€" other instance of the value of aerial photographs in the furthering of enâ€" gineering projects in which areas are involved.

AERIAL SURVEVS MADE J OF LARGE AREAS IN CANADA Civil fiying operations are rapidly increasing in Canada, year by year, and one of the fields in which the most marked advance has been made is that of aerial surveying. The preâ€" liminary report for 1928 of the aerial photographic work for survey purposes done by the Topographical Survey, Deâ€" partment of the Interior, in coâ€"operaâ€" tion with the Royal Canadian Air Force, shows in round numbers a total of 53,000 square miles of territory covered. Of this, 22,000 square miles was by vertical photography and 31,â€" 000 by oblique. 1928 Flying Operations About Comâ€" pleted.

In spite of the elements which seemed to have special control of the evening a good crowd attended the annual fowl supper and entertainâ€" ment at the old Kirk, commonly callâ€" ed East Nottawasaga. The supper which was a feast fit for a king was served in Mr. John Lewis‘ vacant house adjoining the church.

However, with the aid of vertical aerial photographs taken during the past summer the whole area was mapped in a little over three months and the actual construction of the immense storage dam is now being proceeded with. Drilling at the Parmac is considered by engineers to be of decided imporâ€" tance to the Porcupine district as this section which has ideal geological structure has not yet been explored by any workings in the district. Quartz stringers have been encounâ€" tered in the basalt schist which show considerable mineralization. In addiâ€" tion to this the drilling has shown the presence of graphite. This graphite in the Porcupine district is usually found in association with important ore. Its occurrence under such conditions on the McIntyre and Hollinger properties to the west is very marked. Provided that ore is cut by the diaâ€" mond drilling it is the intention of the company to start shaft sinking with the first objective 1,000 feet. From there further diamond drilling and lateral work will be undertaken. Diamond drilling at the property of Parmac Porcupine Mines Limited has now reached a depth of slightly over 1250 feet, according to an official stateâ€" ment issued by the company. In his report on the diamond drilling camâ€" paign, Mining Engineer D. A. Mutch points out that for the last few feet the formation shows considerably more schisting than formerly and that the mineralization is much more proâ€" nounced. Mr. Mutch reports that it indicates that the hole is approaching a change in structure and it should now be fairly close to the porphyry. The latter intrusive is probably acâ€" countable for the schisting now showâ€" ing. Officials of the company are exâ€" pecting important news from the proâ€" perty in a very short time.
