Such a course is not subject to the interferences met with on race over highways, and can be wwell controlled. The fSmoky canine 'marathon may soon become a classic. We note that other Northern centres ‘also hold successful dog races, most of |them dating back longer than Kapusâ€" kasing‘s. Why not get together and form Northern control board to stage a race for the championship of the North, in which the entrants would be the winners of local contests? It twould be adv‘sable to have uniform ) rules applied to all these races. The ’champion.ship race could be moved ! from one town to another year after i year. We do not doubt that it would be popular, and that substantial prizes lcould be hung up to attract challengers ifrom near and far." The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasâ€" Ing, last week says:â€""The dog races Inaugurated at Kapuskasing last year and so successfully repeated this year in spite of dull times, are a unique and popular winter sport.

Want to Return Meanwhile requests for information were ‘being received from the prairie provinces where former Ontario farâ€" mes were anxious to return to their native province. The subâ€"committee stressed the fact that it would not pay to take the inâ€" experienced man off the city corner and place him on a farm. Those who should go back to the land were those who came from there formerly, or who were especially qualified to take up farms. Various speakers have testified as to the seriousness of intention of prospecâ€" tive settlers and the question of vacant farms lhas been prominent. Many farms along the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario railway had been abandoned by settlers, who had gone to cities, and were now trying to return. Without some form of government aid, it was felt, they would be unable to do so. Even in Old Ontario there were hundreds of improved or partly improved farms which could be obtainâ€" ed cheaply, the subâ€"committee‘s report pointed out. A despatch from Toronto last week seys that the ‘*back to the land moveâ€" ment" in Ontario would receive. added impetus if a series of recommendations formulated last week by a subâ€"comâ€" mittee are adopted by the Agricuiture and Colonization committee of the Onâ€" tario Legislature and approved by the house. The report presented to the main committee recommended : 1 Bonusing of settlers for acreage cleared and seeded. 2 Immediate survey of vacant farms in Ontario. 3 Publication of the results of the survey in Canada and Great Britain. 5 Establishment of "shacks" in farmâ€" ing districts where prospective settlers would live while preparing the land. 6 The doubling of Ontario‘s cultivatâ€" ed acreage by a concentrated back to the land movement.

Operating expenses for the year were $4,563, but President F. L. Trethewey stated that they would be much less this year with regard to general exâ€" ploration. as it was intended to concenâ€" trate on the development of the Swayze property. During the year th»> comâ€" rhany directed prospecting work of three parties in conjunction with. Northern Canada Mining Corporation and Northâ€" land Prospectors Ltd. The results are regarded as encouraging. Ten claim:s were taken in East Pascalis and a gold discovery was made in Swayze, where development programme is beins continued up to June 1, after whicth a more intensive plan may be adopted. ‘‘Since 1905, according to the comâ€" mission‘s statistical history, the T. N. O. Railway has carried 14,581,694 passengers for total fares of $21,585,475, along with 25,007,353 tons of freight, for a revenue of $52,752,801. "The T. N. O. was criginally conâ€" structed as a colonization enterprise. When one recalls the objections that were placed in the path of construcâ€" tion and the tangent which history has taken as a result of the construction of this and other railroads, it is diffhâ€" cult to see the wisdom in any nearâ€" sighted policy of overâ€"cautiousness in any matter affecting the pioneer develâ€" opment of other sections of the north country mining." Good prospects are indicated in the annual repiort of Brettâ€"Trethewey Mineées Lta., for the year ended Dec. 31, 1931. The company is in a good liquid posiâ€" tion, with current assets of $38,531 "As an indication of the value of the mining areas within the territory servâ€" ed by the railway for whom he is reâ€" porting, the T. N. O. commissioner notes that total dividends paid by the mines of Cobalt, and Kirkâ€" land Lake, up to the end of June, 1931, amount to $219,647,432. Northern Onâ€" tario gold mines are confidently exâ€" pected to obtain a gross output of apâ€" proximately $40,000,000 in 1932, he states, and the completion of the main line extension north of Cochrane to Moosonee, on James Bay, marking "another chapter in the wellâ€"fulfilled history of tne railway‘s progress and achievement,‘" he also noted. "All this is new wealth, snatched, one might say, by the magic of chemistry, metallurgical science and human inâ€" dustry from the intricate combinations in which it has been wrapped by a schemitig ~nature. Marvellousâ€" as these plants appear to the crdinary layman, they only present the surface of the industry . itself. All through Northern Ontaric, men have tunnelled, burrowed and dug, with the aid of machinery, until the rocks of such minâ€" ing camps as Cobalt, Kirkland Lake and Porcupine are a veritable honeyâ€" comb of diggings tctalling hundreds of lineal miles, to a depth, in places, of nearly mile. Like the work on surâ€" face, these activities are a day and night process, calling for one shift of men to take up the work where the preceding shift had laid it down. GOOD PROSPECTS FOR THE BRETTâ€"TRETHEWAY MINES ‘«For years travellers passing over the railroads of Northern Ontario have marvelled at the ceaseless energy of those mountains of machinery, the mills smelters grinding out million of dollars in gold and silver bullion and in pigs of nickelâ€"copper matte. . ‘"*While there is nothing new in the emphasis which Mr. Lee places on the importance of precious metal mining in the development of Northern Onâ€" tario, this feature of mining and the fact that it "works around the clock," is one that is sometimes forgotten in comparisons that are made with other industries, ‘Reviewing industrial conditions in the territory traversed by the Temisâ€" kaming Northern Ontario Railway, George W. Lee, chairman of the comâ€" mission, draws attention to particuâ€" larly significant fact when he says: "Mining is not a seasonable work, but continues day and night throughout the year, irrespective of weather conâ€" ditions." "It is difficult to 5¢e the Wisdom of Overâ€"Cautiousness in any Matlter Affecting the Pioneer Develâ€" opment of Other Sections of North. Returns Followed Developing North Dear Sir:â€"Our Hon. friend, James Lyons, lately told the city of Sault Ste. Marie to continue fighting to get the highway up the rock and water i route along the minus agriculture shore of Lake Superior. This means that Timmins and all the rest of the towns on the T. N. O. Railway and Perguâ€" son route must get busy and fight also ‘to have the highway put where it serves several purposes and earns its cost many times over in a few years‘ time. The best scenery along Lake ! Superior I am sure is a little east of the | twin cities and from there westward, |\so if the highway goes by Hearst it | will only be a short way over to the 'best part of Lake Superior, and the tourists will not miss it. They will see the best of everything from North Bay to Hearst and on, and there are several long roads leading off the Ferâ€" guson route that will take tourists to the greatest land of lakes and highest mountains in eastern Ontario. They can get all the fishing and scenery they wish and then west of Hearst they will | again arrive at a land of lakes and ! rivers and scenery with lots of hunting | and fishing and they won‘t miss seeâ€" ing the best part of Lake Superior. But to put it up that lonely stretch I from Sault Ste. Marie, famous for wolf lstories, it will be one lone road withâ€" cout any branches to it and serve but one purpose and benefit one city. It possibly will induce Michigan and Southern U.S. tourists to travel north through Michigan instead of through Ontario which will be quite a loss to the government in gasoline tax. Might of Lake Hamilton Spectator:â€"Three hundreod lawyers are representing 3,000 claimâ€" ints to the $100,000,000 fortune of Ella Wendell, recluse, who d‘ed recently. The ultimate decision will indicate, we think, that the lawyers were her real and wonders and has such big money earning power and so many other important things along it. Besides if it is so easy and quickly built, why did not the Canadian Pacific Railway or the C. N. R. build their main line close to the shore? If it is so grand why have they waited so long? There sure must be a road west of Hearst and north of Cochrane to James Bay some day, and when this happens, just watch the U.S. tourists coming this way and those who go up the rock chore if it be built! If I am alive and have money, T‘ll bet that ten to one will head for James Bay and return to Cochrane and then proceed west across Canada. About one out of ten will go up the shore of Superior. â€"â€"H. A,~ Preston. The following letter was received last week from H. A. Preston: Schumacher, March 24th, 1932 To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins Governorâ€"General at the Mining Institute The technical programme ranges all the way from the radiumâ€"silver finds at Great Bear Lake to the gold finds in the Pascalisâ€"Louvicourt area of Quebec, and from a study of the mineral posiâ€" tion ef the British Empire to technical detaills of the latest copper smelters and refineries.
