SUTHERLAND, Manager "The highway will soon be extended," the letter continues, "east of Cochrane to tie in at Lareine with northern Queâ€" bec road system. At the present time the Ferguson highway also extends 12 miles west of Hearst, and as you are aware its continuance straight westâ€" ward has been advocated so as to conâ€" stitute the transâ€"Canada highway to Winnipeg. You will readily appreciate that not cnly Smooth Rock Falls motorists, but many in Kapuskasing, Hearst and other points in this district The construction of a road from Sudbury to Timmins was first introâ€" duced at Sudbury to the city council by W. Laforest some weeks ago, and the resolution he submitted was carâ€" ried unanimously. When Mayor Fenâ€" ton=~brought the question up at the beard of trade meeting in Sudbury last FPriday everning, it was noted that during the day a letter had been reâ€" ceived from Ed. Stephenson, editor of The Northern Tribune at Kapuskasing, this letter suggesting that the road bel extended north from Timmins to Smooth Rock Falls where it would conâ€" nect with the road from Cochrane to I Kapuskasing. | tcwnskips will be requested to endorse the resolution. Copies will also be sent to Fremier G. Henry, Hon. Charles Mcâ€" Crea, Minister of Mines, and represenâ€" tatives in the Provincial House for Sudbury riding and Hon. W. Finlayson. Later a deputation will be sent to inâ€" terview the Provincial Government. was stated at the meeting. Reports from Sudbury of the board of trade meeting say that Timmins, Smooth Rock Falls, Kapuskasing, Elk Lake, Gowganda and mining companies operâ€" ating in Bannockburn, the West Shinâ€" ing Tree mining sections and other Fcor ten years or more past The Adâ€" vance has been urging the construcâ€" ticn or rathner the completion, of a rcadway that would connect up Sudâ€" bury and Timmins. On a number of occasions The Advance has asked Sudâ€" bury to join in requesting the Governâ€" ment to consider the completion of such a road, but until recently Sudbury has not, shown much favour to the idea. The Northern Ontario Associ-] ated Boards of Trade on more than one occasion has gone on record as urging the completion of this roadâ€" way, referred to often as the belt line‘ 'of roads for the North Land. This enâ€" 'dorsation by the Northern Ontario Asâ€" sociated Boards of Trade might well be added to the other arguments in support of the present advocacy of the Sudbury people. Some weeks ago Al-, derman Laforest, of Sudbury, intro-l duced a resolution at the city council meeting asking the Government tol make an early start on this roadway.l Last week at a meeting of the councili of the Sudbury board of trade Mayor Fenton introduced a resolution recomâ€" mending to the Ontario Government! that a highway be built from Sudbury' to Smooth Rock Falls which would easily follow the Ontario hydro power line now nearing completion from Hunta to Copper Cliff. The resolutionl noted the value of such a road from the standpoints of the opening up and developing the North and as a factor in increasing tourist trade. The road| would also be of much value in relievâ€"| ing unemployment during the coming’ winter.

Thessalon Advocate:â€"When a man‘s application for unemployment relief to the Vancouver City Committee was reâ€" jected, the Relief Officer, Colonel H W. Cooper, was asked to explain his reasons for the rejection. Colonel Cooper replied that the applicant had recently taken a trip to Britain, purâ€" chased a motor car, completed payâ€" ments on 19 acre ranch, and bought Pembroke Standard â€" Observer :â€" There is this to be said about the lecâ€" ture of Dr. Stefansson under the ausâ€" pices of the Chautauqua, that the man knew what he was talking about, and in that respect it was a profound pleaâ€" sure to listen to him. The audience l2arnâ€" ed more in two hours about the Arctic Circle that night than they had ever learned during a whole lifetime, No matter who the speaker may be, nor To return to the reports from Sudâ€" bury in regard to the meeting of the board of trade, it may be noted that President J. A. Laberge outlined to the \ meeting that, according to official inâ€" formation received within the past few days, the Hydro has 17 construction camps at distances of six miles beâ€" tween each, on the right of way of the power line. The distance would be 150 miles by the new road from Sudâ€" !bury to Timmins and at present by «the Ferguson highway through North‘ Bay it is a trip by motor of 387 miles. The camps are fully equipped to acâ€" comodate about 1,500 to 2,000 men and would be an ideal move in caring for the unemployment situation in Northâ€" ern Ontario this Winter, would open up valuable timber and farming areas, be a loop with the Ferguson highway, give shorter routes for communication with the far northern towns and be a very important step in advancing new discoveries in the mining sphere en route. Its tourist attractions because it would pass through a virgin counâ€" try and be easy to construct a road owing to geographical condition and Hydro construction crews having used it, were also stressed. l This letter apparently had the effect ’of having the resolution extended so that instead of the roadway from Sudâ€" bury to Timmins being recommended, the resolution went further and asked for the proposed new highway to conâ€" tinue to Smooth Rock Falls In this connection it may be noted that a fcouple of years ago The Advance sugâ€" gested that the "belt line of roads" continue from Timmins through the Kamiskotia district and on to Kapusâ€" kasing. The section from Timmins, northward would undoubiedly be a good thing, but it is not so pressing as the section from Sudbury to Timmins, lthis secction passing through the West 'Shiningtree, Shiningtree, Gowganda, Elk Lake, Matachewan and other minâ€" ing areas. As pointed out before on more than one occasion the value of the proposed new roadway would be great indeed for all parts of the North Land. It would open up much new and valuable country. It would greatly increase the attractiscn of this coun-i try to tourists by allowing them to come north by one route and returnl south by another as well as offering new paradises for the hunters and fishermen. In the matter of scenery the route also would be one difficult indeed to equal in Ontario, the scenâ€" ery along the Montreal river being, most attractive. The proposed road would prove of much value to Timmins, and of equal benefit to Sudbury. To the new camp of Matachewan it would prove doubly profitable for it would connect that new camp with the two biggest centres in the North, Sudbury and Timmins. would be most appreciative of a direct ;hlghway to Sudbury, which in turn would put your city in direct comâ€" munication with every mining camp in the north. Smooth Rock Falls is a great deal nearer to Abitibi Canyon than is Cochrane, so that when the time comes for a highway to be built towards Moose Harbour the interests of Sudbury, Timmins, Kapuskasing, Smooth Rock Falls and Toronto might strongly recommend the continuance of the Sudburyâ€"Smooth Rock Falls highway straight north on Onakawana and Moose River.‘" 64 Spruce St. South Frank Byck THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Now‘s the Time to Prices are at their lowest ..

Write, Phone or Call The Northern News lasi week says:â€" "The Ontario Forestry Branch at Elk Lake was the scene of a gathering last week, which for sheer enthusiasm, |wholesome fun and community spirit ‘|by far surpassed many of the social Jevents for which Elk Lake is justly |noted. The scene of the merrymaking ues was the Provincial Air Service Hangar. To commemorate the opening of this newest Forestry Branch structure in Elk Lake the staff of the Provincial Air Service and Branch staâ€" tioned at Elk Lake gave a dance to which one and all were invited. No efforts were spared by the airmen and rangers to make this affair a real sucâ€" cess. Crossed paddles, hose, and variâ€" ous other kinds of equipment used by the Forestry Branch were arranged in artistic patterns, the whole effect proâ€" ducing a most pleasing and novel deâ€" sign. The grounds, hangar and slipâ€" way leading from the lake to the hangâ€" ar were all brilliantly lighted. From the enormous crowd present it is safe to say that everyone in Elk Lake and surâ€" rounding dis.rict was there. The music, dancing, decorations and lightâ€" ing effects combined to produce a most dazzling yet pleasing spectacle. Lunch was served in the main Forestry Branch building and dancing continued until the small hours of the morning. Withâ€" out doubt a mosi enjoyable time was had by all and the Forestry Branch at Elk Lake deserves in addition to its reâ€" putaticn as an efficient firse fighting orâ€" ganization, the right to be called par exgellence."

It will take Lindbergh only a few hours to fly from Ottawa but it takes a boat the best part of a day even with a motor to get up Moose River to the bridge and the end of the telegreph wire. The total output for the seven months to July 31, 1931, is indicated at $417,â€" 273, as compared with an output of $367,266 for the entire year 1930 and $307,404 for 1929, production having started Jan. 18, 1929. The present inâ€" dicated annual rate of production comâ€" pares favourably with a number of well known gold producers Thus Siscoe‘s output is ahead of that of Sylvanite, which preduced $837,014 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1931. It is apâ€" proximately the same cor slightly above that of Vipond, which had a production of $919,676 in 1930, well above Coniâ€" aurum, which had $738,941 in 1930; ahead of Kirkland Lake, whose cutput was $533,851; and also ahead cof Barryâ€" Hollinger, which had an output of $217,836. Siscoe‘s output is approxiâ€" mately twoâ€"fifths of that of Wrightâ€" Hargreaves, which produced $2,432 888 in 1930. The progress in production recently reported by Siscoe Gold Mines, Limited, has not only been continued, but has been further extended. The figures for the month of July, just issued, indicate a new monthly high record in the ccocmâ€" pany‘s history. OQutput was valued at $82.437, being at an annual rate of $989,000 or close to $1,000,000. The highest previous record was in June at $67,388.

JULY OUTPUT AT SISCOE SETS NEW MONTHLY RECORD _A desplatch last week from Sudbury says:â€"*"Mining Corporation of Canada has plans under consideration for erectâ€" ing a mill on the Ashleyâ€"Garvey proâ€" perty during the coming winter, acâ€" cording to authoritative advices brought down from the north this week. The propoesed mill will have an initial capaâ€" city of 50 tons daily, and will be deâ€" signed so that expansion can be underâ€" taken easily. Material will be hauled into the propprty via Elk Lake, over snow roads, and it is expected construcâ€" tion will be completed and the plant [rea,dy for active production around June 1. Latest advices from the proâ€" perty are that the vein has been cut at the 250â€"fcot level and shows excellent ore, the grade excesding that of the ore at the upper horizocn. Officials of Minâ€" ing Corporation of Canada are said to be highly pleased with the general outâ€" i look. Developments have been even more favourable than expected. Pla.nsl of the Mining Corporation to continue development work in the Matachewan field mean that continued activity inl that section is now assured. So far there has been no other discsveries of major importance made, but several promising ones are under observation. Mining Corporation is taking a leading rlirt in exploration and at the present | time is financing a diamond drilling programme on the Jake Davidson synâ€" dicate claims where some very rich gold float was found recently."
