(From Globe and Mail) A strong defense of the mining inâ€" dustry and the wage scale paid by the companies was made in the Legislature last night by E. A. Lapierre (Lib., Sudâ€" bury), who criticized "those Toronto lawyers who spend 24 hours in the North and then tell the House what is wrong with conditions in the mining industry." Mr. Lapierre denied the allegation made the other day by J. J. Glass (Lib. St. Andrew) that the minâ€" Ing industry, in proportion to its reâ€" turns, was not doing all it should for the workers in the mines. The Sudbury member declared that wages were high and working condiâ€" tion as ideal as science could make them. He said that no happier group of men could be found anywhere than those engaged in the mining industry. He pointed out that there had not been single strike in the nickel industry in twentyâ€"fve years and said that this was proof of the harmonious relaâ€" tions between employers and employees,. "The mining industry is doing as much for the workers as any other Industry, if not more," declared Mr. Lapierre.

A mumber of diamond drillers have been taken from here to Northern Quebec to supply the need there. Dam Construction Helps Other factors that are aiding the employment problem here are the conâ€" struction of the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission storage dam, at Frederickhouse lake, reported in The Advance last Thursday, and the shortâ€" age that still exists in the bush of pulp cutters. Construction of the dam has taken seven tractor drivers from here for the Matheson contractor who is takâ€" ing material in before the snow is gone, and.it is.expected to provide work for many labourers in this district â€"when building is actually Pulp cutters are still needed at Jacksonboro, about 35 miles west of Cochrane. Jobs procured by the Employment Service for people who are registered there totalled 498 during the month of February. This compares with 553 for January and 219 in February a year ago. The mining industry in the Por:upine is in a healthier state right now so far as employmert is conserned that it ever has been before, figures released this week by the Government Employâ€" ment Service reveal, Usually at this time of year there is a surplus of well qualified miners, due to the winter shutâ€"down of smaller propetties in the arega, | No Slackening in Employâ€" ment for Skilled Mine Workers, Mining Development Helping Employment UNDER THE MANAGEKEMENT OF PowEr CORPORaATION or CANADA PAGE Two 31«t, 1937.

Yet Mr. Rowe is but following Tory tradition in this province. When Minâ€" ister of Mines for Ontario, back in the war days, Hon. Howard Ferguson laid down eertain rules of administration and attitude for the then young and uncertain mining industry. Under Mr. Ferguson‘s guidance as Mines Minister and later as Prime Minister, mining in Ontario found its feet, prospered, and poured the foundations for the great structure which private enterprise has since erected for the common good. Ontario‘s manner of dealing with minâ€" ing became the pattern fir all Canada. Mr. Rowe picks up the polictes where they had been dropped a few years ago, reveals a promise that mining may exâ€" Those who know his work on behalf 0of mining as a member of the House of Commons, his study of what a vigorous mining industry means to the farmers and industrial workers of the older parts of the province, were aware that his hand was stretched toward the deâ€" velopment of more and more mines in Ontario. Mr. Rowe has always been especially taken with the point that the mines provided the farmers with a readyâ€"money outlet for cash crops. He has seen farmers in his own district organize joint trucking expeditions inâ€": to Kirkland and Porcupine, seen them return with welcome cash. He has observed what a rich market for all the products of the South is provided by the high wages of the North. This was One of the strong arguments he used when aiding Hon. Wesley Gordon in the battle against the Bullion Tax and other harmful measures. High tuxes meant narrower stopes; narrow stopes meant smaller payrolls at the mines, and in consequence less money for farmers and factories He ac@nted this in his speech at Ivanhoe, during which he enunciated his mining attiâ€" tude. Yet no matter how strongly a man personally feel, it does take urâ€" age to oppose the federal leader of one‘s party. Mr. Rowe has disassociatâ€" ed himself with Mr. Bennett, and has done so bluntly and fearlessly. (From Northern Miner) Returning to the traditions of the Conservative party in Ontario, Earl Rowe, it‘s leader, has pronounced for encouragement to the mining industry, against higher taxes and for helpful moderation, against dizzy governmental detours into the serious business of exâ€" ploration and mineâ€"developing. Hon. Mr. Rowe‘s Position on the Mining Industry A diamond drilling campaign under the direction of J. M. Forbes, the comâ€" pany‘s consulting engineer, will be put into effect just as soon as the drill can be brought in to the property and set up. The first holes have already been spotted. Ample funds are stated to be on hand to carry through the diamond drilling prozgramme. Lake Hill Gold Mines: Limited â€" is capitalized at 3,000,000 shares of $1.00 par value, of which 930,000 are pooled until December 1st, 1937. 1,415,000 shares remain in the treasury under option which if exercised in full will give the company approximately $500,â€" C000 in cash. a pregress report now going forward to the shareholders under the signature of Rene Chenevert, K:C., president. Some 4000 feet of stripping and cross trenching and some shallow diamond drilling has been done on the property during the past two years and a small prospect shaft is down 60 feet. Systeâ€" matic sampling carried out during the past few months gave interesting gold values over a wide area. Mr. Lapierre was critical of people who know nothing of the industry, its problems and circumstances, who paid brief visit to Northern Ontario and then came back and told the public what was wrong with the industry. Six wellâ€"defined veins have been ljoâ€" cated to date on the property of Lake Hill Gold Mines on Gull Island in the Lake of the Woods area, according to Progress Report on the Lake Hill Gold Mines engaged in mining are unskilled labour and if they were employed in Toronto they would get no more than 25 cents an hour. These men get from 47 cents to 60 cents an hour." Timmins 19 Pine St. North Ore length of more than 600 feet has been indicated by drilling in one secâ€" tion, with total length of break 2,000 fest. s North vein showed width of from 8 to 10 feet, with values up to $11. Secâ€" ond average around 4 feet in width, with values of $7 a ton and the third averaged 12 feet, of which 8 feet ran from $1 to $16 a ton. Drilling, carried out under the direcâ€" tion of Clarence Heath, consulting enâ€" gineer, indicated three parallel veins. FPurther drilling has been recommendâ€" ed. With thirty drill holes completed on property of Kirâ€"Vit Gold Mines, Mcâ€" Vittie Township, Larder Lake area, preâ€" parations are being completed for sinkâ€" ing of shaft to 500 feet. Four levels will be established and lateral work done. In Dr. McGarry‘s home town, the mine mailnstay of the whole County of Inverness, has been operated directly by the Government since failure of priâ€" vate interests to maintain it as a going concern. The cost to the taxpayers has been several hundreds of thousands of dollars in deficits and capital expendiâ€" ture, but returns are promised soon. Neither member expressed anything but optimism in his speech on Tuesday. Larder Lake Property to Sink Shaft to 500â€"Ft. The constitution always has been a matter likely to give rise to argum{(@fat in this Province, whose representation lin the Federal Parliament has consisâ€" tently declined since 1867, and where years ago, "better terms‘"‘ for Nova Scotia was an election issue. _ Both mover and seconder of the Adâ€" dress in reply to the Throne Speech, Don Fraser, jovial, though a newsâ€" paper publisher and equally pleasant M. E. McGarry, medical doctor came from coal mining counties which have exâ€" perienced diffiulties in the last few years. In Fraser‘s constituency, the principal collieries are in liquidators‘ hands, but operating at a better rate than for some time past. In addition, the subsidiary Eastern Car Company has been given a new lease of life by a rolling stock order worth more than $5,500,000 from the two Canadian railâ€" way systems. The Speech from the Throne in reâ€" ferring to the netessity for revising the British North Ameri¢a Act, brought to the fore a subject discussed at length last year when the Macdonald Adminâ€" istration was charged with having asâ€" sented to proposed changes in the conâ€" stitution at "secret conferences" in Otâ€" tawa. This was denied by the Govâ€" ernment which later on in the session refused to adopt a resolution dealing with the B. N. A. Act presented by Opâ€" position Leader G. S. Harrington. The latter‘s proposal was that Nova Scotia assent by vote of the Legislature to the Federal Administration assuming resâ€" ponsibility for the conduct of all major social security matters. It is not imâ€" probable that the Opposition again will press this point during the present session, if in a different manner. Of Canadaâ€"wide and greater human interest than constitutional legalisms was the measure brought in by the Mines Minister, Michael Dwyer, deâ€" signed to prevent a repetition of last spring‘s Moose River tragedy, when Herman Magill, Toronto, lost his life, and Dr. D. B. Robertson and Alfred Scadding were rescued after a tenâ€"day entombment in unmapped, scantilyâ€" propped gold workings. Safcty reguâ€" lations patterned after those now enâ€" forced in colleries henceforth will be applicable to metalliferous mines. To Avoid Another _ Moose River Case pt the opening of what may prove a preâ€"election session of the Legislature, and "in any conference for this purâ€" pose my Government will ever seek to secure the advancement of the people who are its immediate care," he added. This was one of the high points of the Speech, but the real deveropment According to despatches from Halifax this week, Nova Sceotia‘s Government considers a reéview of the British Amerâ€" ica Act neceéssary, according to the Speech from the Throne delivered Tuesday by Lieutenantâ€"Governor ‘Tory of the day was the introduction of twelve government bills at this unpreâ€" cedentedly early hour in the session.
