Through the National Construction Council, the Dominion Government has been interested in this road as a general advantage to the country and also a means of providing employment. If Timmins and Sudâ€" bury working together can secure the starting of work on this proposed road it will prove of the greatest benefit and advantage to the whole North and indirectly to the province in general. It appears as if the number of proposed roads will stop the provincial authoriâ€" ties from attempting to build any of them. It would be a splendid thing if the Dominion Government would place the Sudbury to Porcupine road on its list. largest centres in the Northâ€"Sudbury and Timmins; it would open up a wonâ€" derful*® new country to the south of Timmins, adding access to a tourists‘ paradise with fish and game very plenâ€" tiful, and seenery the best in the North: it would multiply many times the touâ€" rist trade to the North, making it posâ€" sible to come North by one route and return by another: it would mean the The Government promises the town council delegation to make a survey this spring of a road from Porcupine to Matachewan. There has been a survey of road between Kirkland Lake and Matachewan; indeed, the Kirkland Lake board of trade financed the cutâ€" ting out of a winter road from Kirkâ€" iand to Matachewan camp. Now, there wan to Kirkland Lake. The same reâ€" quest was made before to the Governâ€" _ ment by Kirkland Lake. Then for years the Timmins board of trade has been urging a connecting road between Porcupine and Sudbury, this road to pass through the Matachewan camp, touching at the Ashley as well as Matachewan townsite where the Holâ€" linger claims are located and where there is a big mine in the making. The Timmins board of trade had a survey made of the Porcupine to Sudbury road. routes pressed on the Government that it is decided to sidetrack them all. Of course, there is one road that can not be sidetracked and that is the one already built and in use from Elk Lake to Matachewan. The delegation from the Timmins town council recently asked for a road from the Porcupine to Matachewan. A couple of weeks ago a delegation from Kirkland Lake asked for a road to be built from Matacheâ€" To Survey Another Road Route from Matachewan There seems to be lots of chance for Matachewan camp to have road faciliâ€" ties unless there are as many road 11 , 141 18 announced ; ers of the force able Young, who 1 at headquarnters is leaving for his TroeC ab muilipiy many times the touâ€" : to the North, making it posâ€" come North by one route and Â¥ another; it would mean the of rich mheral country and 11 Lewart is bein also are announc S.

A _despatch from Toronto last weekâ€"end says:â€"‘‘"‘The Canadian gold mining companies feel no concern over the deâ€" tails of the Canadian Bank Bill which provides for the turning over of all gold stocks in the Dominion to the new institution.. The bill is clear, they say, that only gold reserves will be takâ€" en at the old standard price of $20.67 an cunce and that all newlyâ€"mined gold will continue to command the world price which at present is around $35 an ounce. An official of McIntyre Porâ€" cupine Mines, Limited, discussing the matter said tho mining companies would not be barred, under the proâ€" visions of the bill, from accumulating stocks of yellow metal for reasonable periods if they desired. Any accumulaâ€". tion now is in Federal possession, he. said, and not at the mines." | in the matter in other circles. But to say that the mines are particularly concerned is to misrepresent the situaâ€" tion. The fact that the proposed legisâ€" lation at Ottawa will mean that the government will take cver all gold reâ€" serves does not apply, of course, to gold stocks of producing mines. There is nothing in the legislation touching on newlyâ€"mined gold. Gold held in reâ€" serve by the banks was purchased at the old price of $20.67 per ounce, as since the premium on gold has been There has been a suggestion made in some quarters that the mining conâ€" cerns in Canada are opposed to the |Central Bank legislaticn introduced by Premier Bennett at Ottawa last week., or that some opposition to the proposâ€" ed Central Bank might be expected from the mining industry. Lik> so many of the reports circulated recently, there does not seem to be any real foundation for this rumour. The minâ€" ing industry is not at all concerned in any special way in regard to this new lagislation so far as can be learned.
