Some want the new cenotaph on the site of the present one; others wish otherwise. Some think a comparativeâ€" ly single shaft, to cost about $500.00, is all that is needed, while others think a community as large as the Kirkland Lake camp (25,000 they suggest) ought to do better than that. Officers of the company are: Charles Mclanis, president; Duncan M. Mcâ€" Phail, viceâ€"president; Frank C. Evans, secretaryâ€"treasurer; Charles V. Galâ€" lagher and George F. Stanger, directors, all of South Porcupine. â€" Authorized capital is 5,000,000 shares oi $1 par value; 2,500,000 were issued to the venâ€" dors of which 800,000 were returned to the treasury. Head cffice is South Porâ€" cupine. The property was later examined by Charles B. Morgan, B.Sc., in which he noted that "the geology of these claims is eminently favourable to gold deposiâ€" tion.‘" Referring to one of the veins, Mr. Morgan says the face of the vein for the full five feet blasted shows the presence of free gold, some in coarse grairs easily seen with the naked eye, and with the aid of a magnifying glass fine gold can be seen through the ore. This vein was not sampled as <the presence of free gold made sampling unnecessary. McManus Red Lake holds well locatâ€" ed property in the Red Lake area, east of the Howey, and lies in line of strike of the Howey ore bodies. Reporting on the McManus property, Dr. G. L. Bruce, government geologist, says: "On thne McManus claims a rather thorough exâ€" amination of surface Cutcrops has been made and a considerable amount of stripping done. Several small veins have been uncovered and traced up the hill from the lake for distances of 50 to 100 ft. ... and contain abundant visible gold." "Amongst other important matters discussed and agreed upon by the Doâ€" minion and PrSvincial Premiers in the convention held in Ottawa last week was that of the "Backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"Land Mcvement". It would appear that the premiers agreed that the plan had worked out all right on the whole, and in order to make it even more successâ€" ful it was agreed to increase the bonus from $600 to $700 in cases where it may be considered necessary in the thire year. It is very much to be hoped that none but the most promising farâ€" mers be given this chance. We wonâ€" der, what Temiskaming farmers who came here before the railroad was built, paid the government for their land, made their own roads, cleared their land, built school houses, etc., think of this latest offer to induce city folk to settle here? But rest assured, the best steps pSssible to overcame present troubles are being adopted by those in authority." Th following from the last issue of The Northern Miner will be of interest to many in the Porcupine district:â€" An early resumption of activity in the .property of McManus Red Lake Gold Mines is planned by officials of the esgmpany who are carrying on negoâ€" tiations for finances, which may be completed before the end of the week. Should these negotiations be successâ€" fuly completed work will be restarted in a very short time. McManus Red Lake Now Planning Good Programme Th5se who have given the matter careful thoughtâ€"and have had the material for giving thoughtâ€"have realâ€" ized that the ‘backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land" moveâ€" ment inaugurated by ths> Dominion Government,. and now endorsed by proâ€" vincial governmients, has the basis for giving the Doininion a solid chance for real prosperity and pregress for the pecple. Among the newspapers that realized this early was The Now Lisâ€" keard Speaker. The Speaker has folâ€" lowed the progress of the plan with sympathetic and intelligent interest and has made many constructive comâ€" ments. In The Speaker last week there is a further comment that should be of interest, as follows:â€" (From The Kapuskasing Tribune) Speaking to a gathering of printers in Toronto, Monday night, John Atkins, secretary of the Toronto branch of the United Typothetae of America, stated that the printing industry was in "a desperate situation." He claimed that 75 per cent. of the industry was bankâ€" rupt. "If we are to continue on this same basis it will be necessary, in the face of our creditors, to close our doors, or find some means of meeting our current expenses other than out of inâ€" come," he declared. This condition, described by Mr. Atkins, as "chaos such as we have never dreamed of", is due partly to decreased volume of business, but more especilally to the reckless priceâ€"cutting practices which have been followed in an effort to get business. It has not been uncommon to see priâ€". ces advertised that would not pay for the stock alone, if a Gscent qualityl were used. This cut rate printing has ncot been confined to Toronto but has been peddled all over the province, making most unfair competition to the town printers who are charging fair prices and trying to keep their staffs employed and also to meet their obligations. Increase in Bonus to â€" "Backâ€"toâ€"Land" Movement Cutâ€"Throat Prices an Evil of Present Times The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "Arthur Phillips of Moore‘s Cove, was bound over in the sum of $500 to keep the peace, when he appeared in police court here before Magistrate Atkinson, on Friday last, to answer to a charge of cruelty to animals. He was accused of having cut the tail off a dog, using an axe for the purpose, and to have then tied the animal up outside in the cold. Phillips did not deny the charge giving as his reason for the peculilar act the fact that the dog did not seem well and appeared to be in need of bleeding." Northern Miner:â€"Diamond drilling on the south group of O‘Connell Gold in Matachewan, recently completed. met with favourable results, according to advice received frtm the head office of the company. In fact results were so favourable that it was decided to sink a shaft, which was started imâ€" mediately, and from the same source, it is said that this shaft is down 30 feet. Three holes, were put down, the despâ€" est to. 277 feet. Gsology was favourâ€" able and indicated good possibilities. Some free gold was encountered, offhâ€" cials say. No samples of core have been assayed. Arrangements are being made for the taking in of a mining plant. This will be a small portable compressor and an air driven hoist, which the manageâ€" ment plans to replace as soon as elecâ€" tric power is available. The immediâ€" ate objective of the shaft has not been decided. ‘The diamond drill has now been moved to the north group where an exâ€" tensive campaign of exploration is planned. Surface exploration will also be continued. CUT TAIL FROM DOG WHEN HE THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE BLED _ Word from Iroquois Falls in the past ;few days suggests that conditions there ‘are showing considerable improvement. Only three machines out of a total of seven were operating in the Abitibi Power Paper Co. mill at the Falls ?from July of last year until last week. Also it may be noted that the basis of work there has been six hours per day for those employed, this being adopted to spread the work among as many as possible. The result naturally has been that everybody has been having a hard time. On Thursday last, however, one more machine was put in operation and this week another was started, thus making five out of seven machines in operation. As a result of this increase in work Abitibi Co. employees who have been out of work or on short time or occasional employment are having the opportunity for steady work, for the time being at least. This is a great ( | benefit to the employees of, the comâ€" pany and they feel now that the outâ€" look is much better. It is also underâ€" stood that many will go on the 8â€"hour basis again, which will certainly be apâ€" preciated. Some of the people in Iroâ€" quois Falls see a return in some measâ€" ure to former prosperity but others alel not so hopeful, fearing that the number| of machines may not continue in steadvl operation. However, in any event, the present increase in operations at Iroâ€" quois Falls is welcomed by all, even the most pessimistic, as it will help everybody at the Falls, The increase in tonnage is due to some additional orders and to customers building up their inventories with the general pickâ€" up in business. l GO0OO0D RESULTS FROM THE O‘CONNELL AT.

T. Birks, president of the company, informed The Northern Miner at midweek that the month of January was the most profitable in the history of the comâ€" pany. While it was not possible for the official to quote a definite producâ€" tion figure, the returns from the mine indicated that previous profits and proâ€" duction records would be broken. accident, were taken just previous tc the funeral services at the Catholic church. The purpose, it was stated in the despatches, was to send the pictures to his old home in Europe to prove his death. In fSrmer years in the Porcuâ€" pine and Kirkland Lake camps it was almost the invariable rule to tak: photographs of men from the Europear countries who died here. These photoâ€" graphs of the dead were sent overseas and were used as evidence of the deaths, apparently being accepted hy the relatives and the authorities as supâ€" porting evidence of the truth of lstters newspaper clippings and Gocuments that might ‘be sent overseas in regard to deaths in the district mining camps During the "flu" epidemic here some years ago one local photographer tcok no dess .than three such picturesâ€"in the one night. Indeed, there was a time when no man ¢f foreign origin was likely to be buried here without a picâ€" ture of him being taken in his coffin for the purpose of sending the photoâ€" graph overseas. â€" Recently, there has been so murh hsard about this practice. This may be because it is sc general as not to cause comment. O: it may ‘be that other methids of identiâ€" fication are used to prove the deaths tc the satisfactitn cof those in the Euroâ€" pean countries.

Tuutila, of South Porcupine, was acclaimed the fleetest Finnish skier in the North at Kirkland Lake last Sunâ€" day when he finished first in a 15â€" kilometre ski race that found a number of the contestants suffering from frost bites at the finish. Frostâ€"nipped ears, cheeks and ttces were reported by the skiers during the race which began and finished on the St. Jerome‘s Separate school grounds. The mercury was hovering around 30 below when the skiers took off and a numker were forcâ€" ed to drop out from the effects of the bitter wind. Seven of the contestants finished the grind, however, and a Kirkland Lake man named Homkla came in third. The race is run anâ€" nually under thke auspices of the Fm- ish people of the North with contestâ€" ants present from Timmins, Porcupine, Kirkland Lake and cther centres."

Also that there will not be any entry charge to any of the races, and the C.N.R. skatâ€" ing rink will be thrown open free to skaters and spectators during the afterâ€" noon and evening of the carnival. The committee specially mention that they desire _ that all citizens of Cochâ€" rane and visitors to the town take an active interest in the day‘s sports.

Winter Sports Day in Cochrane Feb. 24 Dog Derbies, Ski Races, Snow Shoe Races, Skating Races and Carnival to be Featured. . Good Prizes. "In the old lumbering days, Mr. Finâ€" layson stated, little trouble of this sort was experienced because of the fact that the operators contrlled practicalâ€" ly everything about the camps, but nowadays companies let bush work to jobbers who employ men on a pieceâ€" work basis and charye them for their board.. As a result of the conflict of jurisdiction, considersble dissatisfacâ€" tion, outcropping into strikes in many instances, has been evidenced.. "The Ontario Provincial Police are said to be coâ€"operating closely on the proposal with the Lands and Forests "Under the preoposed policy an offâ€" cial, to e supported by both provinces, it is hoped, will be vested with iarâ€" reaching powers to inspect camps, inâ€" qiuire into complaints, settle disputes as far as his authority goes, and, genâ€" eraly speaking, to bring order and contentment to situations that have been trouble spots for socme time. ‘Out of forthcoming conferences beâ€" tween Hon, Willam Finlayson and Hon. Honore Mercier, Ministers of Lands and Forests for Ontario and Quebec, respectively, Queen‘s Park hopes to see established a joint policy of supervision, direction and investiâ€" gation of lumbering camps in the two provinces that will put an end, for all time if possible, to the unrest, strikes and Redâ€"propagandizing that has obâ€" tained in these camps in varying proâ€" portitns during the past two years. "Ontario gave notice of its intention to clear up the unsatisfactory situation in the legislation forecast in the Legisâ€" lature Speech from the Thorne. _ "Mining has maintained and strengthened its position among the leading industries of Ontario. With the new mines coming into operation and prospecting greatly widened,», th outlcok is favourable for still larger yields of gold. Due to increased proâ€" duction of nickel and copper, the mines of the Sudbury region are rapidly reâ€" covering the status of former years." "The provincial railway maintained its service during the past year with an operating surplus, and present inâ€" dicaticns inspire full confidence in the future of this undertaking." In making reference to the clause in regard to the supervision of the lumber camps The Toronto Mail and Empire last week says:â€" The T. N. O. Railway also comes in for special mention in the address from the throne as follows:â€" One of those â€"was in reference to lumber camps in the North. For some time past The Advance has been urgâ€" ing that in addition to settling the strikes that have been arising at variâ€" ous camps that the Government take proper measures to guard the public in â€" terests permanently in the matter. There is little doubt that some of the strikes were directly and maliciously enâ€" gineered by paid foreign agitators. In @uebec province this opinion was held by the authoritiee and very preompt action taken to deal with the situation. On the other hand. there were one or two cases where direct information to The Advance suggested that conditions in some of the camps were what they should be. The Advance believed that not only, should the strikes be settled but that no matter what the cause (paid agitators or actual imâ€" proper conditions) the basis for the strikes should be dealt with. At the interprovincial conference recently held at Ottawa, Quebec and Ontario agreed to coâ€"operate in the matter of ‘invesâ€" tigating . and controlling lumber camp conditicns, as noted in The Advance recently. In the speech from the thrtone the following reference was made to the matter:â€" "Living conditions of men engaged in lumbering cperations and boarding camps in the North Country are such as to call for official investigation and supervision from time to time. It is hoped that proper guidance will serve to prevent the recurrence of disputes and strikes, and avoid the loss and inâ€" convenience caused thereby." There was also reference to the minâ€" ing situation in Ontario‘s North, as follows : â€" The speech from the throne at the Ontario legislature Cpening last week held several items of interest to the North Land The Lientenantâ€"Goverâ€" nor, Hon. Hubert A. Bruce, in the speech from the throne touched on legislative action in reference to severâ€" al matters affecting the North espeâ€" clailly. Speech from Throne at Ontario House Supervision of Bush Camps Deemed Necessary. T. N. O. Compliâ€" mented. Mining Conditions Nocted as Promising in Province. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a notice from Chief of Police Wm. Rich in regard to the necessity for 1934 licenses for motor vehicles this year. As the chief of police points out, and as was noted in The Advance a couple of weeks ago, the new vyear calls for new licenses and permits and those who do not observe this fact are liable to fine and costs as well as having to procure the 1934 licenses in Chief Rich gives fair warning that after Feb. 25th anyone running a moâ€" tor â€" vehicle without the necessary licenses and permits will be proceeded against. All should take note of this warning and save fines and costs as well as observing the law in the matter.
