Fowler Ontario Ontario Public 11â€"23 23tf 1€ mIines, UCIQ IMIllE} LOâ€"Ud}y, â€" Bickell were labouring under a greater measure of taxation than race tracks. He pointed out that on several occaâ€" sions the provincial government had given assurance that there would be no further taxation imposed and this pledge had been broken. A despatch from Toronto last week gives the following report of the anâ€" nual meeting of the McIntyre Mine: "No increase from the present diviâ€" dend rate is likely to be made by Mcâ€" Intyreâ€"Porcupine Mines Limited until further depth development permits formulation of a definite dividend polâ€" icy, shareholders were informed at Wednesday‘s meeting by President J. P. Bickell. "In my opinion, when the company has acquired a surplus in keeping with the magnitude of its operation, there would be no reason why practically all the earnings should not be paid out in dividends," stated Mr. Bickell. He pointed out that to date the company had expended more than its total capiâ€" tal in development and expansion. For the immediate future the directors have in mind a programme of develâ€" opment calling for approximately ten miles of underground work, and within the next twelve or fifteen months they hope to be able to formulate a definite dividend policy. Annual Meeting of the McIntyre Mine The annual meeting of the MciInty Porcupine Mines, Limited, was held : Toronto on Wednesday of last wee The annual reports of the officer which have already been reviewed | The Advance. were submitted to t No Increase to be Made in Present Dividend. President of Mcelntyre Deplores the Additional Taxaâ€" tion of Gold Mines. The additional burden of taxation on gold mines was Gdeplored by Mr. Bickell. He stated that it would to some extent neutralize the advantage of the savings of the company‘s new mill. Strange as it may seem, he stated, gold mining today is working under a higher rate of taxation than that of race tracks, despite the fact that the Provincial Government on many occasions stated there would jbe no increass in the rate of taxation. As a result of which, McIntyre, among other properties, made heavy expendiâ€" tures cn new equipment. Mr. Bickell stated that the money was spent, and then, without warning, the Governâ€" ment increased the tax. Referring to the new discovery of ore in the south shear zone, Mr. Bicâ€" kell said if this area showed developâ€" ment like the Pearl Lake zone, another chapter would be written in the hisâ€" tory of the mine. The new find was made by drilling from 3,700 feet in depth and lies about 1,000 feet south of No. 11 shaft. In addition to that, according to Mr. Bickell, it is possible that the new Dominion income tax will be retroâ€" active to April 1929. This tax together with the new Provincial tax, will, he said, be equivalent to 14 cents per ton treated by MciIntyre. Last year‘s taxes were equivalent to 28 cents per ton treated. According to Mr. Bickell, it looks as though the reduction in costs of 40 cents a ton will be exceeded, a factor which will not only increase profits, but also allows treatment of a large quantity of ore formerly below the economic limit. General Manager R. J. Ennis stated that in the south sheer zone, on the Plattâ€"Veteran ground, one diamondâ€" drill hole, at the 4,025 horizon, passed through five feet of $28 ore. A drive was put over on the 3,750 level, and last week three sections of ore runâ€" ning about $7.30 were opened. This area will be developed during the year and excellent results are exprcied. Tailings from the fiotation section of the new mill are running 20 cents ton, he reported, with ratio of concenâ€" tration about 8 to 1. Concentrates run about $56 per ton, while tailings from the concentrates have contained about 60 cents. On loss above ratio this means tailings loss of about 28 cents a ton, which the management hopes to reduce to 20 cents. Indicated sayvâ€" ing in costs per ton through the operâ€" ation of the new plant is about 60 cents, a bigger reduction than originâ€" ally anticipated. W. T. Garrison and E. B. Bradley, of Rochester, N.Y., were visitors to Timâ€" mins last week. Mr. Ennis was of the opinion that operations under modern methods could be carried to a depth of 10,000 feet. Mining at present depth is beâ€" coming a little more dangerous, but additional precautions are being taken. The Pearl Lake shaft will be carried to 4,000 feet to provide a secord outlet for the mine. It was stated that, out of 28,000 feet of development work, 20,000 feet was drifting, while 46 per cent. of this work was in ore against at average expecâ€" tancy of 35 per cent. i; ) onal uUn chief p taxes imposed on the ld mines toâ€"day, said e labouring under a gr ~taxation than race t po wlition ‘of ‘the n that the divic 1 to be increase ‘marks of the p the unfairnes f the ant iImmigration to be Free From Polit] "So long as I am in power," the Minâ€" ister continued, "the immigration policy of this country will not be diciated by transportation complanies and book.mg agencies whose interests are governed solely by their pockets." "Sso far as this government is conâ€" carned in connection with immigration, I hopsâ€"and I believe that hosp» will be realizedâ€"that if politics in the past has entered into the question, we have learned our lesson," said Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minister of Immigration, in the House of Commons last wesek. The mistakes of the past had been made manifest to him in the department, he continued, "and in the future, inmigraâ€" tion will be entirely dissociated from politics and will be conducted only in the interests of the country." Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minister of Colon ization and Immigratlion, Refers to a New Policy in Regard to Immigration. The House was in committee of supâ€" ply on the ixmnlgrat.ion‘ estimates which were reached in the last hour of the sitting. Replying to a question by E. J. Garâ€" land, (U.F.A., Bow River). Mr. Gorâ€" don said so long as conditions continuâ€" ed as at present in Canada he need not fear the bars being let down. He did not wish to charge any. preceding adâ€" ministrations with delinquency in conâ€" neciion with immigration. The present problem was one of caring for those who had been attracted to this country. With regard to this everybody had been a little thoughtless. "My exprrience has taught me that that it is a great deal easier to adâ€" mit people than keep them out." Consequently the vote would have to be maintained for the purpose of supâ€" porting the preventive service and the service vested with authority to "surâ€" vey" those who sought admission. (From Border Cities Star) An obliging jury down Texas way has acquitted a ~gentleman who enâ€" tered a hotel to kill an enemy, but got into the wrong room and killed an innocent party instead. The court held that the killing would have been justifiable and the mistake in victims was merely a negligible technicality. However, it is certain that the hotelâ€" keeper should be brought into court and fined $3 and costs, or something, for failing to have his halls sufficiently lighted to enable gunning guests to find the right man.

High Commissioner Gives Aid to Cobalt in Regard to Irformation About Possiblity of Silverware Facâ€" tory There. tlns necessary requUlremenys sSsaowWCIilCd,. "Mr. Ferguson himself writes that the Ensglish companies, generally, are not fayvcurable to the idea, and he states that silver itself is a small item in the production of silverware. Through Mr. Scott, Trade Commissioner at Liverpool, enquiries were made in England, the High Commissioner inâ€" forms the board, and one result of his work is contained in the report of the Sheffield concern on the proposal subâ€" mitted. The firm wriies to Mr. Scott that they have had under consideration the establishment of a plant in Canada for the finishing of the silverware. "Before proceeding further with the subject. the board will endeavour to learn from the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission what are the prospects of hydro power bsing available here. Pursuing this phase of the question, Dr. E. F. Armstrong, president of the board, who is in Toronto this week, will interview the commission. ne of the chief requirements, the corâ€" â€"espondence from England indicates, is shear) power, which is regarded as of much greater importance than proxiâ€" mity to the source of supply of the silâ€" ver itself. "The board has hopes, if the matter progresses favourably, of interesting the mining companies here in the subâ€" ject. Other considerations considered by the English firm as of outstanding importance include the prostlicts of interesting local capital in any scheme that mighs be advanced, the question of a labour supply at reasonable wages and transportation facilities. The sugâ€" gestion is made that the best scheme would be to consider the manufacture of Holloware and E.P.N.S. supplies for hotel use, and it is pointed out that the board‘s idea of a sterling silverware plant constitutes a different proposiâ€" tion with many difficulties in the way." The whole question should have more than passing interest in Timmins. Here there have been several suggesâ€" tions as to the desirability of having other industries to back up the mining industry. At a recent meeting of the Timmins board of trade executive this question of other industries was very thoughtfully discussed. Anyone who can suggest any industry that can be commenced here and that will give work to the town‘s surplus of young people looking for a job will be a hero. It may be said that if Cobalt can have a silver factory Timmins might be able to have a manufacturing plant for the making of useful articles and beautiâ€" ful souvenirs from gold. hat the proj CoDalt board unted by d and it has nct besn com ed.

By a voite of 87 to 57 the House of Commons cne day last week, according to an item in The Ottawa Journal, reâ€" jected a moticn of J. A. Bradette (Lib., North Temiskaming) for the production of papers ‘"in connection with the pyacâ€" ing of 7,600 unemplcyed single men, and also 1,500 families, on farms, as stated in the House of Commons by the Minister of Immigration on June 9." Mr. Bradetts also called for the names cof each person so placed on farms, with location of farms and conâ€" ditions and terms of such placements. In opposition to the motion the Prime Minister declared that to secure the information wanted would require the coâ€"operation of the railway complanies and several weeks‘ work would be needâ€" ed in order to compile the lists. In adâ€" dition, he did not think it in the public interest that such names should be made public through Parliament. Mr. Bradette declined to "drop‘" the motion and it was taken to vole. Two U.F.A. members, A. M. Carmichael, of Kindersley, and M. N. Campbell, of Mackenzie, voted with the Government. The others, along with the Liberals, supported the moticn.

Meets every Friday eveniny in ln Matern]tv Cases Oddfellows‘ Hall, Spruce St. m Visiting brethren requested to atteeom Toronto Exercised Over Number of Deaths of Mothers in Maternity Cases. Record of Timmins is Quoted. Some Wrong Conclusions. These explanations and comments appear to be called for by The Star‘s references to the matter, but at the same time the facts and figures quoted by The Star are of more than passing interest. In reference to this question The Star in a recent issue, editorially speaks, in part, as follows:â€" "The charge that the maternal morâ€" tality rate is too heavy in the cities of Ontario is not a new one. The Registrarâ€"General‘s report for 1928 said: "The rate is higher in the urban municipalities by nearly 122 per cent. than it is in the rural municipalities, yet it is these urban centres that are presumably better equipped with hosâ€" pitals and skilled physicians than are the rural municipalities." And again: "The table showing the number of deaths from puerperal (childbirth) causes, compared with the number of living births taking place in the instiâ€" tutions n:id at home, shows a preponâ€" deratingly larger number of deaths per 1,000 births in the institutions than out of them. The table is worthy of close study." "The tables for that and the followâ€" ing year prove that in some of the smaller centres, and indeed in some of the cities, maternal mortality is very rare. In these two years Cobourg had 245 births, Dundas 156, Eastview 353, Fort Frances 352, Kenora 421, New Toâ€" ronto 232, Trenton 249, Waterloo 235, Whitby 104, and not one mother died. In Timmins, where most of the births took place at home, there were 965 live births and only two mothers succumbed In Galt (a city) there were 550 births, East Windsor (a city) 750, Port Colâ€" borne 296, Renfrew 301, Brampton 289, with only one maternal death recorded in each of these places. Niagara Falls (a city) had only five maternal deaths in 846 live borths. In Toronto, for the same number of births, the deaths would number eight, compared with five at Niagara and two at Timmins. "The other feature of the case is the preponierance of maternal mortality in hospitals and similar institutions. In 1929 in Ontario towns and cities of 5,000 population and more, there were 20,169 live births in institutions and 219 mothers died. There were 18,466 births {(or almost as many) at home, and only 43 mothers died. The figures for 1928 are even more startling. In that year there were more births at home than in institutions (19,206 compared with 18,335) yet only 43 mothers died at home compared with 246 in instituâ€" tions. "It is doubtful whether this discreâ€" pancy is entirely explained by ‘he statement that the most dangerous cases are hospitalized" Miss Isabel Duff, of North Bay, was struck by lightning one evening recentâ€" ly and appeared to be paralyvized for a short time, but recovered in an hour or so and was as well as ever.
