APPLY TO DE sANTIS DEVELOPMENT CO., LTA. by G. Giustini, secretary INSURANXCE home in the gas 1n For years past The Advance has been emphasizing the opinion held by many oldâ€"tims prospectors that the Shiningâ€" tree area betwesn Timmins and Sudâ€" bury had great possibilities and should not be overlooked among the prospescâ€" new camps of the Nor:th. The hisâ€" tory of Shiningtree and West Shiningâ€" trc3, hcwever, has beon discouragin;, but prospectors and others knowing the area have never in their faith. They have their reward now in the fact tha‘t Shiningtree has an accual producer, the mill at the Ronda Gold Minss starting up this week. I is interesting to note that the comâ€" of the Sudburyâ€"Porcupinge highâ€" way will give Shiningtres r3ad connecâ€" tion with both Timmins and Sudbury, although Sudbury is much the closer and will likely be the natural contre for che new camp. In pressing for the comp::tion of the Sudburyâ€"Porcupine highway through the years The Adâ€" vance has emphasized the fact chat both Sudbury and Timmins would benefit by the new camp that would develop through the new road faciliâ€" ties. Just as Sudtkury would have diâ€" recs benefit from Shiningtrse, so would Timmins from Matachewan and other new camps near here. In addition the whole North will be advantaged by the extension of the road facilities that will provide for so many old and new and prespective camps. Then on top of all this, is the fact chat the whole provincsâ€"the whole Dominionâ€"beneâ€" fits from the development of new minâ€" ing areas. To return, however, to the matter of the Shiningtrse camp, there was a very interesting review of is history and development in a recont issue of The Globe and Mail. On che mining and financial page of The Globe and Mail appeared the followirg article about Shiningtree: Shiningtree District Comes Into Production \ Years of strenuous work, numerous disappointments, and one excepc.onai piece of good fortune bore fruit in the West Shining:irse mining district of Ontario this month when the first property went into produccion.

At 80 tons per day, indicated org reâ€" servos at Bilmac are sufficient to carry the mill for at least a year and a half. Approximately 40,000 cons have been indicated to a depth of 400 feet, and with values averaging $13 per ton the estimated value of this or> is $523,925. Ore reserves are split up as follow: 17,â€" 000 tons of $13 ore; 2,700 tons of $8.75 ore and 20,000 ons of $14 Oore. Levels have been established at 65,170 and 410 feet.

Moneta Porcupine Mines Limited for the three months ended Decemer 31 last, reports net profits of $124912 after all charges including taxes and depreâ€" ciation against a net profit of 118,594 in the preceding quarter. Bullion proâ€" duction in the past quarter totalled $270,184 from milling of 14.238 tons, an average of $18.97 per ton. For the full 1938 year profit totalled $488,700 equal to 19.2 cents per share on the 2,543,860 shares of $1 par issued. In 1938 bullion production was $1,016,â€" 250 from 54.577 tons, an average of $18.62 per ton. Milling started Januâ€" ary 1, 1938. During the past ten years, from 1928 to 1937, inclusive, the world produced 260.551,.013 ounces, or an average of 26,055,101 ounces a year, so that the present accumulation in United S.ates is equal to world production for the next sixtern years, provided the average of the past "ten years is mainâ€" tained. In 1937 Canada produced 4,090,000 ounces of gold, so that the holdings of our neighbor south of the international line could only be matched by whis country if it mined and retainsd an average of four million ounces during each of the next 104 years. That, we believe, will give some, ade- quate idea of the tremendous proporâ€" ‘ions of the accumulation of recem years and will also raise the questx:m as to its real value as an aid to world prosperity so long as it remains bur!fld beneath the surfacte, whenge it cam° by the sweat of man‘s brow.

In court, Wray positivelyâ€"identified the many who‘struck him as one of the accused, . Antoine . Brunet. The blow did not knock him out, he said. and he was able to get a good look at the man‘s face. "I will never forget that face," he said. Twenty seconds after the assault the driver came in. When asked by Wray to call the police he said,, "You do it." Wray said that the driver seemed anxious to have the blood stained stick, He took it out of his hand and put it in the stove. His head was covered with blood, he said. Another Crown witness, Emmett Chalifoux. said that he met Gauthier on New Year‘s Eve. He took him to a blind pig and bought him a drink.
