The skyway will then swing northward along the T. a; N. O. to Cochrane. there turn- ing west to parallel the N.T.R. to Win- nipeg. At numerous points along this route there will be built emergency landing fields, at some of which there will be more pretentious arrangements themat others, such as a hospital and larger but accommodation.

The writer believes that the camp has just started. I believe the township of Tisdale contains more gold beneath it than any other town- ship in Ontario, because it has a great mine at its east end and it is better than ever. and there are two great mines at its west end. What other township can show this. \T‘isdale has thirty-six square miles in it,’ and all these three great mines together do not cover five square miles. What about the other 31 square miles? There .‘must be four or five or more great mines in those thirty-one. They sure are in be- tween thOSe already here, and those two at the west end are working east- ward toward the other at the east end, and it also is working easterly and getting better.

This is in regard to the single men. Under the supervison oi' the Department of Na- tional Defence scores of projects have been undertaken throughout the Do- minion, building airports, expanding old military camp sites, improving public buildings. restoring historic sites. The cost is being charged against the Un- employment Relief Fund and 48.000 have been given work in return for whichtheyareboardeastclean,mo- dern camps. given substantial meals Mr. Gordon, the Minister of Labour. is to-day one of the most harassed or men in Ottawa. His oflice is daily be- seiged with callers whose main thought is the industrial situation but more often than not they merely want the Federal Government to spend lots of money. It is learned that the Minister has put both feet down on proposals that only mean added public debt. added tax burdens on the people. His View is that there has to be an end to Government assistance and that the time for the end has some where there is no real compensation in lower un- employment. But naturally the min- ister's position could be happier as on the one side prominent public bodies, leading citizens clamour for economy, for a cut in taxes, and on the other. there is a demand tor expenditures that will ease the unemployment situation in various localities. and also add to the prestige of those responsible for mak- ing the demands. Programmes of relief public works Which will be approved must have a large labour-giving element. The Gov- ernment will not give towards expen- sively designed buildings that mean greatest cost for materials, and only a minimum of labour. It is the feeling that the former policy of helping on unemployment relief works led to ex- travagance and not only cost the Federal Government far too much but also burdened the provincial and muni- cipal authorities with a heavy financial New Plan to Provide More thfloyment The idea of the Government now is to strive to bolster up the work-idea- of the unemployed, to encourage them to stand on their own feet again. The general feeling on Parliament Hill now is that conditions have improved in Canada; to the extent that the present proportion of persons on relief is too high and should be cut down. Textile factories, shoe factories and many other industries are busy again, in some places there is a demand I‘ skilled operators that cannot be 11 led, the mining regions are busy, at the mines, in the nearby towns. It is therefore the belief of Government ministers that while the governments themselves try to find work that the unemployed must now make renewed efforts themselves. to ‘ . . . . the "mailm- from the North." th the oo-operatlon 0; E 3 3. to brat the but of unemployment in canal: and to influence unemployed to “and on that own feet. It to what The Advmce has been mun: for To this and new agreements with the provinces under the Unemployment Re- lief Act will be broader than for two years. There is an agreement with the ontario Government likely to be signed within two or three days and it is un- derstood that the Federal Government's contribution towards putting more men to work is provision for a proportionate grant towards labour cost of essential and useful public works. ‘ Basis Agreed To. The exact nature of the agreement will not be divulged until it is signed but the basis has been agreed to by Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minister of Labour. and Premier G. 8. Henry, and it re- mains fer the Federal Cabinet Council to assent when Mr. Gordon makes his recommendation. This will possibly be to-day or to-morrow. One thing is certain, Judged by the temper of Federal Government authori- ties, and this is that the “won’t works,” the idlers who have always been- idlers and those who have become weaned to that state by recent years of unemploy- ment, are to be weeded out.

Read what The Ottawa Journal ma about It on Mad-y mu week:â€" Wfll Wood 0!“ “Won‘t Works" In New With the co-operation of the pro- vinces. and through the latter the municipalities, the Dominion Govern- ment will launch a determined drive to break the back of unemployment in There will be no more lavish public Works in the provinces or municipalities at the expense of the Federal Govern- ment. This much-was made very clear from an omciai source to-day. The aid the Federal Government will give to the provinces in respect to pub- lic works that will absorb unemployed is purely for the purpose of giving em- ployment, not to give municipalities opportunities to construct improve- ments that will make their cities or towns better without giving the em- ployment regarded ‘ as commensurate with the expenditure. Naturally the "government wants to see the unemployment relief ended but for the time the end seems to be obscured by the clouds of present idle- In the provision for grants towards labour costs it will be required that mainly those on relief shall be employ- ed so that the cost of direct relief shall be reduced. ls Busicst Man in Ottawa. mp The following interesting little item is from last week’s issue of The North- lern Tribune 01' Kapuskasing, and should ireceive notice from all concerned, as l so many are interested in the prospects lior deveIOpment of the fire clay and china clay claims north of the Trans- continental Railway:â€" .“T'here is more activity now than ei/er before at the Long Rapids fire clay and china clay claims, which lie ‘60 miles nOrth of Kapuskasing. The railwayline of the Spruce Falls 00. to Smoky Falls comes within six miles. of the claims. At various times a start has been made by rival clay claim hold- ers at building a truck road i'rom SmOky Falls to Long Rapids, but it never got put into halt-decent shape. But now it will be. ' for the satisfaction of Kapuskasing. citizens who are much interested in " these extensive claims. Up to the pres- ent there has been a certain amount or unreliable gossip in circulation, and announced plans did not materialize." “We hope to get an authoritative statement from the ceramic engineer now in charge of work at the claims “There has been some change in the original syndicate, .and it is said that there is now sufficient capital to carry the enterpriSe through its first stages and get into scheduled production. A number of local men have been work- ing at the claims for a, few weeks. and they will :be augmented about the end of July if plans are carried out. Activity at Long Rapids Fire and China Clay Claims 0!: M to land Scheme. There is disappointment here on the toilure oi the relief lend settlement scheme to reach the proportions the Government anticipated. More co- operation is to be acted so that in all provinces more of the unemployed family men can be placed on the land with their families, under conditions that will provide them with a fighting chance to establish themselves. As one member of the Government put it “the Government does not want to mollyooddle people but wants to help them to fight to regain their own self- dependence.” A despatch from Ell: Lake this week says that the Ashley Gold . Mines is steadily building up ore reserves, and recent wark indicates favourable exten- sion of the ore zone on the 500-foot horizon. The drift on the west vein on the 500-foot horizon has intersected commercial grade ore to the north of the porphyry zone. which hitherto was looked upon as the northern limit for gold values. In both width and grade this new are is said to be better than that located to the south. The com- pany is milling are at the rate of 110 tons per day, with heads averaging about $12 per ton on the gold basis of $20.67 per ounce, but around $18 per ton at the current gold ,price. It is estimated that Ashley is producing bullion at a rate slightly better than $60,000 monthly. and also made a monetary allowance. A programme calling for the expendi- ture of more than $4,000,000 settling people on the land in the various pro- vinces was laid down some time ago. of which the Federal share was to be $1,400,000. This was to take care of the settlement of 7,000 families. To date settlements have numbered only was. The money is waiting but the scheme has struck a snag somewhere. It is the view that a proper trial has not been given. that municipalities sending fami- lies to settle elsewhere have been a little too indulgent in trying to provide ideal conditions. Families with some of the old pioneer spirit are wanted. It is believed that the scheme can suc- ceed with families of this type. Employment on Increase _ The unemployment problem has been the subject of serious consideration on Parliament Hill in recent weeks. With the summer well advanced and - hun- dreds of thousands still on relief when it was expected that there would be a great reduction, the feeling is that the time has come to make a real drive to see that more go back to work. ASHLEY GOLD MINES IS FILING UP ORE RESERVES Lake camp, with the Wright-Har- greaves, Tack-Hughes, 'Dough-Oakes Bears legally taken or legally kept in captivity; may be purchased or ob- tained by barter only by a licensed fur farmer; a licensed fur dealer; a resid- ent British subject purchasing for per- sonal use under a “restricted one dollar license." (Section 22). The Black Gold Mines has been form- ed to take over the Black claims, south of the Wright-Hargreaves, and also the adjoining Berry claims. In Kirkland and so on, surely the Black and the Berry claims should be combined as the Black-Berry Mine. Wild bears may be obtained in a legal manner pursfiant to the provisions of Section 10.811bsect10n 2, of the Act, i..e. taken under the authority of a current trapping license or by a far- mer or his sons on his own lands with- out a trapping license.

Law Regarding All Bears in Captivity New Regulations Minoanoed from To. A family who left their summer camp near North Bay gave as their reason for their early departure that “they couldn't word to board a bear." They had not adopted the bear, but the bear had adapted the camp and made havoc of the provisions. There are many in the North Land, however. who are keeping bears these days. Note has been made by many of the number of bears chained up as an attraction at stalls along the roadside and elsewhere in the North this year. Some of the bears have not been any too well treat- ed according to some accounts. Then there is the bear that wasn't captured at the ’Buflalo Ankerite! In any event the authorities at Toronto have felt called upon to make some new regula- tions in regard to the securing of bears and the keeping of bears in captivity. A despatch last week from Toronto gives the following details about the matter. Under a game and fisheries regula- tion which came into effect on June lst. the Northern Ontario bear market is being restricted. By the new regulations, suitable and sufficient accommodation far the cap- tive animal shall be provided in a safe enclosure containing not lesslthan 50 Heret‘ofore it has been the custom of bushmen and others to capture bears at will and dispose of them to tourists or to keep the animals attached to chains in various places.
