Timmins Ontario ~39â€"43 | DING Winnipeg Free Press:â€"Bruce Barton, advertising man, cites a theory that deâ€" pressions usually last eighteen months, period otherwise measured by the average man‘s possession of two suits of clothes. When both pairs of pants wear out hard times end. Here‘s hopâ€" ing there are not too many twoâ€"pants suits in circulation! _ Dr. Charles Camsell, Devuty Minister I of Mines for Canada, has been reviewâ€" ing the mining industry in Canada during the past year. He believes that the mining industry in the Dominion had a notable effect in stabilizing busiâ€" ness and industry generally and in this ! he will be supmported by most thoughtful ‘students of industrial affairs. Dr. ‘Camsell also, it would appear, looks |forward to 1931 as a year of probable | expansion and development in the minâ€" | ing industry. With the general revival * |of ‘business in Canada an impetus will â€" ‘ be given to the mining industry. * ‘ Dr. Camsell points out that the minâ€" \ing and related metallurgical industries have to quite an extent suffered from ‘the business conditions that prevailed ‘during the past year. The "quantity‘" mineral production for 1930, however, may approach the total for 1929, which " gives clear evidence that in a year of generally decreasing production the lmining industry has besn an important 'i | stabilizing influence because of the emâ€" i ployment for labour and the market for ] 1 various commodities which it has proâ€" vided. Exploration, prospecting, â€"and dovelâ€" crment of new properties have not bzen prosecuted to the wide extent characteristic of recent year. However, ‘ }many exploration and mining companâ€" ies have quietly and aggressively conâ€" tinued their search both near and far, for new mineral occurrences and have proceeded with the examination of disâ€". coveries made in 1929 and 1930. E On the whole conditions in the minâ€" ing and metallurgical industries have been better than might have been anâ€" ticipated earlier in the year and when business improves throughout the world, the mining industry in Canada will, no doubt, quickly respond to such stimulus. nacted legislation or made appropriaâ€" tions with a view to benefiting the inâ€" du:try. The zsentrol of the natural reâ€" sources of the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba was transâ€" ferred from the Dominion to the reâ€" spective Provincial Covernments. To determine the cost of moving coal from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Alâ€" berta into the central provinces, the Dominion Government authorized the extension for another year of assistance n freight rates. Somewhat similar assistarrce was provided for the moveâ€" ment of coal from Saskatchewan, Alâ€" berta, and the Crowsnest area of Briâ€" tisth Columbia into areas in Manitoba where imported coal has been offering serious competition. Funds were also provided for the construction of new oreâ€"dressing laboratories at Ottawa. An official estimate of the value of mineral production in Ontario in 1930 is given as $114,000,000 as against $117,â€" 960,722 in 1929, and $100,083,122 in 1928. British Columbia estimates a 20 per cent. decrease in value. Estimates for the cther provinces are not yet availâ€" able but taking into account such inâ€" formation as is ocbtainable, the value of Canada‘s mineral production for 1930, nothwithstanding very low prices, will probably approximate that of the year siderably higher. The production of structural materials was lower for the 1930 pericd. The year marked the largest developâ€" ment in oreâ€"dressing and metallurgical op2rations ever recorded in the history of the Canadian mining industry. The larger part of the expansion was conâ€" fined to mines producing the base metals and to gold mines, and included the putting into operation of a copper refinery with a@ rated capacity of 120,000 tons of refined copper a year at Copper Cliff, Ontario; the construction of a concentrator, a copper smelter, and an electrolytic gzinc plant at Flin Flon, Manitoba; the commencement of a ferâ€" tilizer plant at Trail, British Columbia; the enlargement of gold mills at Porâ€" cupine and Kirkland Lake, Ontario; and the beginning of construction on copper refinery at Montreal East, Queâ€" bec. Metal preduction for the first nine months of 1930 was hizher in quantity but lower in value than for the corâ€" respondinig 1929 period. Nonâ€"metallic production for the same period was lower both in value and in quantity. In the fuel group the coal output was lower while that of petroleum was conâ€" Decreased prices as compared with 1929 of all mineral products except gold and nickel have led generally to curâ€" tailment of development programmes at established properties. It is worthy of note, however, that such developâ€" ments carried out at several properties in the more important mining camps throughout the country have been reâ€" warded with satisfactory results. Maintenance of Production at the Mines had Stabilizing Influence on Busiâ€" ness. Prospects for Present Year are Even Better. CANADA‘S MINE INDUSTRY DURING THE YEAR 1930 ‘he. yea the Prc Dominion, l Governm ancC nts A desplatth lats week from Rouyn says:â€""Lindsley and Timmins interests are reported to have increased their hoidings in Siscoe Gold Mines, and with plans for this company to increase its scope cf operations. It was anâ€" ncunced some time ago that Noah Timâ€" mins of Montreal and Thayer Lindsley of Toronto had become involved in the ownership of Siscoe Gold, and it now develops that these interests are also aggressive toward interesting themâ€" selves in other properties in this part of the Quebec mining field. In having maintained production during the paust 12 months on a favourable grade of ore, the Siscoe Gold has attracted a new wave of interest." The next regular meeting of the town council will be held on Monday afternoon, Jan. 26th, commencins at 4 p.m. ‘"You might communicate this to those for whom you are acting. If they insist on going on with it, then it is our duty to hear it. Meanwhile, let 1t stand over for two weeks." X n REPORTED TO HAVE ADDED TO INTERESTS IN SISCOE "I understand," said the chief jusâ€" tice, "that this was argued 14 years ago and no decision was given. It is a large question and one in which the public faith is involved. I think the court of today should hold, as did that of 14 years ago, this it is inexpedient that this question be further litigated. M. H. Ludwig, K.C., speaking for the federal department of Indian affairs, was anxious to have concluded a case which had been delayed and put over for many months. He contended, howâ€" ever, that the Ontario government had no power to curtail the hunting rights of the Indians in view of the old treaties made with the wilderness peoâ€" ple by the crown. ‘"These people hunt for food," he said. The case of Joe Padjena and Paul Quesawa, White Lake Indians, acâ€" cused of having beaver pelts in their possession out of season, had been spoken to by C. M. Garvey, K.C., on the part of the province of Ontario. He was appealing against the quashing of their conviction by Judge McKay, of Thunder Bay. That further thrashing cout in the law courts of the Indians‘ rights to trap where the encroashing white man has passed his game laws contrary to what the Indians believe are their treaty rights, is inexpedient at the preâ€" sent time, was the suggestion given by first divisional court at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, last week. It was a question in which the public faith was inâ€" voived. Chief Justice Sir William Muâ€" lock said.

The late Marvin Walker was only 22 years of age at the time of death. He was born in Renfrew County and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Anson Walker. The snapping of a plank supporting a scaffold at the Lake Shore mill at Kirkland Lake last week resulted in the death of Marvin A. Walker who fell some 264 feet and fractured his skull. _A verdict of accidental death was returned by the coroner‘s jury. It may be said that Mr. Passaw is an untried man in school or municipal management. There will be problems that will require very sound judgment. The community will watch with keen interest and perhaps with some concern as to the course of events. Part of the business of the evening was the election of a trustee, Mr. White‘s term of office having expired. Mr. White was nominated, also Mtr. Passaw. On a poll being taken Mr. Passaw was elected. SCAFFOLD PLANK SNAPS AT KIRKLAND AND MAN DIES Dear Sir:â€"On the evening of the 12th inst., the annual school board meeting of the Hoyleâ€"Matheson school district was held in the local school, a large number of the ratepayers being present and keen interest felt in the affairs on the school section. The reading of the annual report revealed a healthy state of the schcol finances. "A matter of much satisfaction" to all cencerned is the fact that the local school has been brought ur to a standâ€" ard where it is regarded by the inspecâ€" tor as the bestâ€"conducted school of its class in his inspectorate. To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins The followir}k; letter received thi; week speaks for itself:â€" Hoyle School Best of Its Class in District Hoyle, Ont., Jan. 15th, 1931 â€"GC HAS. J. D AWSON Lake can not give the service nor supâ€" ply the needs nearly as well as a town like Timmins could do. The average prospector going into the district seems to believe that the best thing that could happen to Matachewan, or the Banâ€" nockburn field would be the connectâ€" ingâ€"up by road of Timmins and the new gold camp. With such connection those at work in Matachewan would be able to secure anything and everything needed in the work of exnloration and development. London Punch:;~â€"â€"Looking back over the years, the proverbial line of least resistance seems to be a woman‘s waist line, A prospector returning some aays ago to Timmins after a trip into Matacheâ€" wan, said there were about 45 inen in the camp, with another 15 or 168 steadiâ€" ly engaged in carting in supplies. The chief need of the new camp is adequate and convenient transportation facilities. There is a road in from Eizx Lake but it is like the rocky road to Dublin; it is full of hills and dales and long detours. FEik Lake is having a great revival but Elk Lake has not the facilities for handling the crowds of men going in and out of the new camp. Also, there is a general feeling that Elk In regard to the diamond drilling operations it may be noted that fou: diamond drill holes covering the strike of the exposure over a length of 175 feet have revealed commercial values over stoping width of about six feet to an average depth of 85 feet. Two more holes have been started, but in the meantime preparations are being made to ship a mining plant to the property to commence shaft sinking on the vein. The success met with by the Mining Co:poaration of Canada in working the Ashleyâ€"Garvie claims has naturally enâ€" couraged others to proceed with work m properties in the area. To this end z2 number of syndicates and mining companies have been formed or are in course of formation. It is understood that a separate company, an auxiliary to Mining Corporation of Canada has been formed to look after the Ashleyâ€" Garvie G@evelopment. Then there are others. A number of syndicates are reâ€" ported as finding little trouble in securâ€" ing a good market for their units in sronto and also in some other Southâ€" ern Ontario centres. An issue of units in the Matachewan Argyle Syndicate is being offered in Sudbury. These claims are located to the north of the Mining Corporation group and apprexiâ€" on the strike of theâ€"discovery. The Scurdough Syndicate, organized by ‘t‘he McDonough brothers, is also ocferâ€" ing an issue of units on claims staked south and west of the Ashleyâ€"Garvie "The assays from the cores to date have caused the Mining Corporation to decide on sending as soon as possible a compfete mining plant to start shaftâ€" sinking on the Ashley vein." "The four drill holes so far completed cover a ‘total length of 175 feet on the strike of the vein, and have cut the vein at an average depth of 85 feet on the dip of the vein. The average assay reâ€" sults of all cores have shown commerâ€" rial ore over a stoping width, the vein showing strong and regular in all holes. "One of the cores just received was taken from under the swamp at a disâ€" tance of 30 feet from the most southerâ€" ly surface showing of the vein. "Two more holes have been started, one of them 75 feet farther to the south in the swamp, the other 100 feet farther to the north, which will make a total of 350 feet on the strike of the vein. The results of the recent diamond drillâ€" ing on the Ashleyâ€"Garvie claims, the discoveiy that caused the rush, are nrovinzg very encouraging. The results have been so satisfactory that the Minâ€" ng Corporation of Canada, who are working the property, are understcod to have decided to proceed with active mining cperations as soon as possible. Jt is understood that a mining plant will be installed at an early date and that a start will be made in the sinkâ€" ing of a shaft. An official memoranâ€" dum from the head office of Mining Corporation with reference to the Banâ€" nockburn claims in Matachewan reads as follows:â€" DIAMOND DRILL RESULTS VERY £000 1N MATACHEWAN "The Mining Corppration of Canada, Limited, has received assay returns from two more drill cores taken from the Ashley vein of their Bannockburn property. Reports from Matachewan would suggest that the camp is even better than expected. Diamond drill cores from the original discovery on thea Ashâ€" leyâ€"Garvie claims are very enc3uraging. Jos. Br.sson, of Timmins, an oldâ€"time pmospector of this camp, returned last week from Matachewan, ard to say that he was enthusiastic is not to overâ€" state the case. "When you can walk for three hundred feet over a strike that shows gold right along," he says, "you surely will take notice." He says that free gold can be seen in nearly any sample taken from the strike. He is ceriain that the Matachewan find is to be a big thing.
