It was made very clear to visitors by speakers at the various fTunctions held in their honor that taxation of the mines has a tremendous effect on mim> emplayment. This is because gold is sold at a fixed price; the price cannot be raised by the mines if their ‘Laxes go up.

It is true that the lemons are estimated to have cost $200 each in the growing, but Toronto thinks it was worth the price to show the world what can be grown in Toâ€" ronto climate. One popular idea of Toronto is that almost any selfâ€"respecting fruit would turn into a lemon if grown in Toronto. "Tis stran strange Ontario has recognized this clearly, and there has been no increase of mining taxation by this province for more than 30 years, a fact that was emphasized by the Hon. Paul Ledus, The importance of this was emphasâ€" ized by Mr. Dye, assistant general manager of the great Dome Mine, when he said that on the averags it takes one man one day to mine a ton of gold ore, and it takes another man one and a quarter days to provide that miner with the tools, equipment, food and so forth that he must have in order to get out a ton of ore. In efâ€" fect, therefore, every payable ton of cre.whether it has $4 or $40 worth of rold in it, means on the average two and a quariter days of work, and more than half of that work is not in the mining country at all, but is in the vegetable gardens of Essex County or the machine shops of Guelph, or someâ€" where else in the southern part of the country. rete1 Interesting Review of Mining Taxation Kingsville, Ontario Newsâ€" paper Gives Its Impressâ€" ions.

For the celebrated occasion, the Abiâ€" tibi Lodge here. No. 540, paid their yearly visit and aided in the installaâ€" tion and investiture ceremonies. Past masters and members, which totalled |50 in all, made the trip by T. NO [ bus and motor car, over the thirtyâ€"five mile journey. The preâ€"arranged meeting turned out a marked success, and adding to the interest of the occasion, was the visit | of three brothers of the Worshipful ' Master, W. B. Smith, one coming from [ Toronto to be in attendance. In order that hbe may not miss the special celeâ€" ’,bration. his Worship the Mayor of [ Cochrane,. came all the distance from Chicago to Cochrane in his own plane. (leaving at 6 pm. and after the long trip arrived safe and sound in Cochâ€" rane at the meecting at just 9.30 p.m. Right Worshipful Bro. James R. was the Installing Master, and l Rt. Wor. Bro. F. K. Ebbitt, the director ‘of ceremonies. Enacting the impresâ€" ’ sive ceremonies which followed, was !»cxy interesting and greatly enjoyrd by all in attendance. % ‘ To wind up the meeting, Cochrane The Ontario government is trying to have the taxes reallocated, and we think rightly so. The purpose is not to increase taxes, but to decrease the Dominion‘s share, and to increase the provincial and municipal shares. If this were done it would be easier to provide mseded mining roads, and for the municipalities to provide better serâ€" vices with lower taxation of land and buildings It is very are rich and can afford to pay taxes. That is ontirely true of a few mines, but the moment taxes are raised millions of tons of ore that will barely show a profit become utterly useless. And the remarkable part of this is that the lowest grade mines provdie the most employment, because they have handle more ore in order to make a decent profit. Nearly all of the new mines which have cgone into production as a result of the rise in the price of gold from $20.67 to $35 an ounce are lowâ€"grade, and could not have operatâ€" ‘d at all at the old price. Even at $35 an ounce many of them have to make a profit out of ore worth only from $3.50 to $6.00 a tonâ€"and that isn‘t very much to work on in hardâ€"rock mining. There were more than a hundred publishers and their wives on the trip, and they were royally looked after, especially by Mr. passenger agent of the C.N.R.; Mr. S. LO F. Baker, travelling passenger agent, C.N.m.â€"and Mr. C.:O, Baker, N.O.

The magaâ€" zine claims that one out of every three of the Irish Sweepstakes tickets sold in Canada and the Unitâ€" ed States is only a counterfeit and so hasn‘t a chance at all of winning a prize of any kind. Even if a Canadian or United States citizen buys one of the twoâ€"outâ€"ofâ€"three genuine tickets, his chances of winning are less than one out of a million and may be even as small as one out of three million. In the counterfeit tickets, of course, all the money goes to those in the racket. Even in the case of the genuine tickets only 75 cents of the $2.50. price goes into the pool. The balance of $1.75 is devoted to commissions for salesmen, money for distribuâ€" tion, bribes for smuggling the tickets into counâ€" tries where the law forbids them, payment of handsome salaries to executives, "operating °exâ€" penses," and incidentally something for the Irish hospitals. While the article in Collier‘s makes inâ€" teresting and informative reading, it is not likely to have much effect on the sale of the lottery tickets.
