McLEOD, General Manager, Toronto ESTABLISHED 1832 The other correction is in regard to the Coniaurum and in reference to this, he Northern Miner says:â€""In followâ€" ing the Ontario Department of Mines‘ tabulation of gold production for the first nine months of 1929 an error was made in deducing that Coniaurum tonâ€" nage had fallen off in the third quarâ€" tor, and that grade had been arbitrarily raised. The calculation, as it appearâ€" ed in last week‘s issue, based on the figures supplied, made it appear that the company had changed its mining and millinz policy, and that in the third quarter of the year only 11,467 tons had been milled, for a recovery of $155,978, showing daily tonnage of 125 and recovery of $13.60 per ton. Such a radioal change in policy naturally caused some comment. Coniaqurum ofâ€" ficilals have corrected the impression created by issuing a statement that production in the third quarter, from July 1st to September 1st, included 24,â€" |297 tons milled, for an average of 270 tons a day, with an estimated recovery of $174.556 an average of $7.19 per ton. The company adds that, considering the periocd from August 20th on which date the new company began to function, “‘:he production figures from that date to September 30th were as follows:â€" Ten thousand, four hundred and thirâ€" tyâ€"two tons milled; daily average, 255 tons per day; estimated production. $84,977; average, $8.14 per ton. Bulâ€" lion sales since the new company took over control were as follows: Septemâ€" ber 4th, $43,844; October Th, $58,707; November 6th, $§61,433. The original error occurred in reporting by the Dsaâ€" | partment the number of tons o° cre mined in the period as 61,584 tons, inâ€" stead of 74,414 tons, the amcount millâ€" Corrections in Analysis ‘ of Mines of the North In last week‘s issue o° Tha Advance there was an analysis of the minss of the North, as prepared by The Northâ€" en Miner. In the last issue of The Northern Miner there are a coupl» of corrections noted in regard to this anâ€" alysis. The first is in reference to the Porcupine United Mines. The Northâ€" en Miner in this connection says:â€" "In reporting Porcupine United Mines as closed The «Northern Miner was in error in issue of November 2lst. Acâ€" tually, officials state, 25 tons per day ar2 going through the mill. Figures supplied by Ontario Department Cf Mines show that for the third quarâ€" ter of the year the company reported 1,860 tons milled for a recovery of $17,â€" 049, a daily average of 21 tons, with grade indicated at $9,18 to the ton. Current milling is at a slightly higher rate, with grade well maintained, acâ€" cordinz to official intimation." Simcoe Reformer:â€"A contemporary reeccmmends to his readers that every car ocwner when starting his car should s sure that the garage doors are open. This is particularly sane advice at this time of year when the cold morning air mig/iit have a tendency to make one is ave the doors closed. There is deadly danger in starting a car with the dcors shut, due ‘to the risk of carbon monâ€" oxide poisoning. More than one man has paid the penalty of forgetfulness in this respect. Northern Newsâ€"It is interesting to note that of the fifteen Lord Mayors elected in England on the traditional Ninth of November, four, or a fraction over 25 per cent., were men more or less intimately connected with the printing bus‘ness. We claim no credit for any slight reflection of this glory, but attention to the fact as evidence that printers as a whole are not quite as slow as some people holding official positions would like to assume they are.

Ben Hollinger Expired at Breakfast Table at his Home Ten Years Ago. Was Only Thirtyâ€"Four Years of Age at Time of Death. In lsoking through the fyles of The Advance for material for the ccolumn "Ten Years Ago in Timmins," the reâ€" port was found this week of the death of Ben Hcollinger, who, with Alex Gilâ€" lies, staked the property now worldâ€" famous as the Hollinger Mine. The article in Tha Advance o‘ Dec. 3rd, 1919, reads as follows:â€" "Innumerable cldâ€"timers who knew and liked the man, heard with sincere regret the news of the death last week of Ben Hollinger, the staker of the Hollinger Mine at Timmins. According to the despatches the late Mr. Hollinâ€" ger expired while setting at the breakâ€" fast table at his home in Pembroke. He had been apparently in the best of health, but suddenly his head dropped down upon the table and it was found hat he was unconscious. When physiâ€" cians were summoned it was found that this wellâ€"known prospector of the Porâ€" cupine and other camps of the North Lands had gone on his last prospetâ€" omnly 34 years of age at the time of his jeath, the causs of which is given as heart trouble. He was born at Chalk River, Ont., and fgafter going through college he became a prospector in this Norih Land. At first he met with raâ€" ther poor success until his lucky strike in staking the Hollinger, a property that had been viewed and passed by many prospectors previous to that. He was only 24 years of age when he sold the Hollinger for a sum usually quoted as a quarter million dollars, but someâ€" times said to be one hundred thousand dollars more than that. Since that time the Hollinger Mine has produced about thirty million dollars‘ worth of gold, and there are forty millions more in sight, with untold further wealth to be uncovered"In the property. â€" His friends say, however, that Benny Holâ€" linger refused persistently to accept any interest in the property as part payâ€" ment for the claims. He said he wanted the cash outright,. One of the first uses he is said to have made of his fortune was to beld a beautiful home for his people at Pembroke. Much of the rest of the money was tied up in mining and other investments, but this did not much discsurage Ben Hollinger. He went out again on the prospecting trail and in the mining game. In reâ€" cont years he gave much of his time and interest to the Patricia Mine at Boston Creek. Pleasant, cheerful, loyal and a gentleman always; this is the verdict of his fellow prosectors in the Ncorth Land! A widow and three childâ€" ren survive and to these the sympathy of all in North Land is extended in this sudden bereavement." COBALT CAMP PICTURED sSOME TWENTY YEARS AGO (Frome Toronto Mail and Empire) "Pictorial Cobalt," one of the first journalistic efforts of the nowâ€"defunct Cobalt Nugget, is a record of an epic of the past. Published some 20 years ago, the booklet reproduces many pictorial sketches of what it tarmed "The Greatest Silver Mining Camp in the wWor\ld." Including in the miscellany o "sights" are 27 photographic reâ€" cords of 27 reasons why the town of Cobalt sprang from a mushrcoom almost overnight, cr more exact, within three years, to a fullâ€"fledged townsite. The 27 reasons are pictures of minâ€" ing properties in the heyâ€"day of their existence, shaft heads, concentrator and storage‘ bins all newly erected, but nearly all of which are now merely memories in the imagination of "oldâ€" timers." Of the 27 prosperous, dynamic silver producers of 1908, only four names are at all familiar to the averâ€" age person interested in the industry todayâ€"Nipissing, Coniagas, Kerr Lake and O‘Brienâ€"and of these probably only the firstâ€"named may be designated as a full producer. Among other mines finding space in the booklet were: Silver Queen, Shamâ€" rock, Buffalo, Temiskaming, Crown Reserve, Nancy Helen, Cobalit Lake. Drummcond, Silver Cross, Beaver and Silver Leafâ€"all of which may be termâ€" ed as the ancient history of Canrda‘s silver mining development. DOMINION OF GANADA AND CONSERVATION OF FORESTS Dominion and Provincial Governments Studying Question of Depletion of Forests and Seeking Ways and Means to Conserve Forest Wealth, In recent issues of The Advance reâ€" ference has been made to the stateâ€" ment of Sir George Courthope in reâ€" gard to Canada being denuded of her forest wealth inside of thirty years. The Advance pointed outl that this was more or less the attitude taken by Mr. Barnjum, of Montreal, though the latâ€" ter was usually so pessimistic that he searcely set the evil day back as far as thirty years. It scarcely appears that the situation is as serious as suggesâ€" tions of Sir Geo. Courthope and Mr. Barnjum would suggest. As pointed out before the pessimistic outlook may serve a good purpose in rousing the people to prevent the situation feared but on the other hand it has a tenâ€" dency to restrain action along certain lines that might have a helpful effort "Sir George Courthops, a member 0 the British House of Commons, who has been associated for a number of years with the British Empire Foresâ€" try Conference, lately delivered a speech in which he asserted that "the shortage of commercial soft wood timâ€" ber" demanded the serious attention of the Government of Great Britain. Sir George did not refer to an actual scarcity of soft wood timber in the world‘s markets, but rather to a shortâ€" age, having regard to the present rate of consumption of such material, in the supplies of it available in the forâ€" ests. He dealt with a subject of speâ€" cial interest to Canada, which has been described as the principal source withâ€" in the Empire of supplies of so‘t woods. Canada still has immense forest rcâ€" sources, but those resources are being continuously exploited commercially. It must be remembered that new uses of soft wood timber have swelled the demand for such material. Soft woods are still required for purposes for which they have been employed for many years. In addition, certain species of soft wood, particularly spruce, are now used in large quantities as raw material by great modern industries that manuâ€" facture artificial silk, newsprint paper and a variety of other commodities and articles composed of wosd pulp. FPurâ€" thermore, use of timber is not the only cause of depletion of forest resources in this country. Large quantitiees of timber are annually destroyed by forest fire and insect pests. If the heavy consumption and loss of timber conâ€" tinue on their present scale and means of replenishing supplies are not devised and applied, Sir George Courthope calâ€" culates Canada‘s timber resources will be exhausted in about thirty years. Pat Ns Ne ht s en t dn PP CR EWO The situation of which Sir Georce Courthope has spoken has not escaped the notice of Governments here and in THE GEORGE TAYLOR HARDWARE LTD. Timmins C.C.M. Cyco Speeder Full Line of all Sizes and Models Cobalt xtraA Great Britain. In the latter country the Government, through the National Forestry Commission, has planted 140,â€" 000 acres of soft wood forests in the past ten years and proposes to plamnt 350,000 acres in the next decads in orâ€" der to provide a domestic supply of soft wooad timber. In Canada the Doâ€" minion and provincial Governments have been spending large sums of money in efforts to protect the forests from damage by fire, to find means to combat insect and fungoid pests that attack the trees and ‘to work out economical methods of lumâ€" bering and forest management. In Ontario the Legislative Assembly, on the motion of the Ferguson Governâ€" ment, has enacted this year legislation designed to enable the Government to study methods of promoting regeneraâ€" tion of forests or of reforestation and to work out a policy that will have the effect of perpetuating timber supplies in this province. In some countries in Europe tracts of woodland have long been. overated on a crop basis. In Ontario the Government hopes to be fable to apply some such system. The speech that Sir George Courthope has delivered in England may help to sonfirm Canadians in their support of measures that have for their object ‘he replenishment and perpetuation of ;imber supplies in this country."
