(Continued on Page Eight) Dr. Speakman Touches on the Wealth of North That mining is not the beâ€"all and endâ€"all of Northern Ontario was well brought out in a short lecture on Monâ€" day night by Dr. H. Speakman, director of the Research Foundation, at a meetâ€" ing of the Timmins Board of Trade. There are 100,000,000 tons of lignite coal almost immediately available in Northern Ontario. The future for the ceramic industry (clay products of all kinds) is bright indeed. Agriculture is only ‘beginning. Those are just highâ€" lights in a talk to business men of the north by a quiet unassuming scientist who held a crowded hall at the Empire hotel spellbound. North May Forge Canada But the greatest thing that Northern Ontario can do and is doing for all of Canada is the development of a Canaâ€" dian viewpoint. â€" The North has gatherâ€" ed pzople from the Maritimes, from Quebec, Southern Ontario, the West and British Columbia. Al parts of Canada have their own pet "grievâ€" ances," but here if anywhere, so went the spirit of the meeting, Canadians should mest cn common ground. The North will be the forging link in a greater Dominion. In addition to coal, the Foundation has been working tor some time on the possibilities of the clays found on the banks of the Missinabi and Mattagami rivers. Here again they have found new processes which may make a new Canadian industry using methods in advance of any the rest of the world has developed. Dr. Speakman illustrated his point about the performence of development in the North by reminding his audience of what had happened in many parts of southern Ontario where agriculture had remained profitable only as long as it had the support of the lumbering inâ€" dustry. *"For the past 30 or 40 years," he said "some parts of Old Ontario have gone steadily downhill, Ask yourâ€" selves if agriculture is just 4s temporâ€" ary; if it is as economically bound to mining as Old Ontario was to lumberâ€" ing. Is it possible to lay the foundation for a permanent and stable foundation? That is the great problem men like yourse‘ves should face occasionally. sooner or later, stern reality will make vou do so." Think as Canadians "The need toâ€"day," continued Dr. Speakman, "is for meon and women to Tak. think and act as Canadians. We have our Maritime point of view, our Quebec one, andther from southern Onâ€" tario, another from the West and still another from British Columbia. The people of Northern Ontario are those who will bridge the gap, not in our day but at some later time and they will lay What the youth:of Northern Ontario has to 100k forward to was the main subject of the evening and many speaâ€" kers gave their views. Dr. Speakman‘s information brings a hopeâ€"in fact an almost certainty, that the North is not "done" when her mines are through working. The natural resources of the country are such that in years to come there will be work for all. Lignite Research Proves Use In the investigation of the lignite coal deposits near Onakawana, 60 miles from Hudson‘s Bay on the Moonsonee extension, the Research Foundation has discovered some facts that indicate almost surely that a large Canadian industry may in the notâ€"soâ€"far future be established there. One hundred million tons of coal are already in sightâ€"how much more cannot be told yet. But it cannot readily be used for fuel, as it is of the very soft variety called lignite as opposed to the harder varieties bituminous and anthracite, not found in Ontario. The Research Foundation estimates that if proper equipment were set up an amount of fuel derived from the lignite that would give the same aâ€" mount of heat as a ton of the coal Iroâ€" quois Falls imports from United States, could be set down in Iroquois Falls for $5.00 a ton, whereas they now pay $7.50. At Noranda, the comparison is at preâ€" sent $7.175 for Nova Scotia coal and a possible $5.75 for Northern Ontario coal. The coal as it is mined is not suitâ€" able either for transport or proper burning and it was to overcome those difficulties that the Research Foundaâ€" tion began work. They went first to Germany where, since the treaty of Versailles tOook the bes; of their bituâ€" minous coal mines away, they turned to the development of large lignite fields. They tried German methods on Northâ€" ern Ontario coal, but found them imâ€" practicable. In Toronto they worked around the laboratory until they evolved a method of their own which they call "flue gas drying." It is on this principle that the present plans are laid. $6.25 Inspiring Address at Annual Banquet of Timmins Board of Trade. Other Helpful Addresses. _ Fine Choral Music by Welsh Male Choir. May Erect Trial Plant Dr. Speakman gave the meeting to understand that the Foundation want to be allowed to set up trial plant in the Onakawana field where there is alâ€" ready a shaft with cross cuts going north, south, east and wet. Kapuskasing $7.50 as opposed to News and Notes of Timmins Girl Guides North Bay is planning to eliminate at least some of the borrowings from the bank in the early part of the year. The plan is to strike the tax rate early in January. Announcement to this efâ€" fect was made by Mayor Bullbrook last week. He suggested that earlier and smaller instalments of taxes might fill the lyill. The plan for doing this is being workâ€" ed out at present. It requires, of course, the coâ€"operation of this year‘s council as well as the incoming council. Between now aAng the end of the year, at least two and possibly three special meetings of council will be held w.th the object of having the city‘s tax rate for 1935 struck not later than Janâ€" uary 20. To further<this end all the city‘s spending bodies will be asked to prepare their estimates before the end of the current yvear. This year‘s council and the two men who will assume seats on January 1 will be asked to attend the meetings, the first of which will probably be held the latter part of this week.

The average grade of ore milled in Novemâ€" ber, is estimatedâ€"at ~approximately $12.:12 as compared with $10.94. Production of gold bullion for the year 1933 may be estimated at approxiâ€" mately $7,171,416 from approximately 502,800 tons of ore. This would comâ€" pake with the total bullion production of $6,266,957 in the year 1933 from 546â€" 500 tons of ore milled. _ Total recovery from the 498,800 tons of ore milled in the 11 months, January to November, inclusive, was appr0oxiâ€" mately $6,573,788. The average grade of ore milled this year to date, thereâ€" fore, may be estimated at approximateâ€" ly $13.17 in gold per ton, which indiâ€" cates that the company has been millâ€" ing a lower grade of ore in the past.

R. C. programmes as weil as the south.‘" He stated that the broadâ€" casting company were willing to pay their share of the use of the line for interâ€"station programmes. passed at the annual meeting of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade in session here on Tuesday that the transâ€"Canada highway be routed from North Bay to Hearst to Oba to White River thence to Port Arthur. Ed Stevenson, of the Kapuskasing ‘Tribune, was unable to be present but his views were well presented in writâ€" "Naturally," he said, "we would not expect them to buy a line and then use it at their expense." He commented on the "agitation against the line which apparently sprang from a feared loss of advertising." This includes n0o pay from The Commission of course." He continued, "They do the same across Canada.‘"‘ "Am I safe in resolution does no al axe you have t son?" asked Mr. 1 "To this extent only," replied Mr. Thompson, "it will improve our stations to have Canadian Radio Commission programmes. I can‘t see the differâ€" ence between a commission station and ours and C. R. C. programmes will mean an increase of power for us."‘ The resolution was unanimOusly carâ€" ried when put to a vote.
