In The Advance twenty years Aago reference was made to the fact that the Lake Shore Mines had had a sort of off month in February, 1931, the value of the ore milled being only $165.00 per ton and the total producâ€" tion being but $24,068.00, whereas usuâ€" ally it was around $35,000 or $40,000 per month, with grade around $40.00 per ton. The Advance commenteg on the idea of $16.50 per ton being conâ€" sidered as below the usual grade, reâ€" marking on the luck of the Lake Shore in this respect. Reference was made to The Advance twenty years ago to the finding of the board of conciliation sitting at Cobalt It,o consider the complaint of the mine ‘cmployees there regarding a cut of 75¢ per day in wages. The board‘s unanimous finding was that the wage cut shoyld be deferred until April 1st, 1921. The reduction had been anâ€" nounced by the mines on January 8th to take effoct on February 16th. The !mines claimed that the reduction was ’necessary on account of the decreasâ€" ing price of silver. The board of conâ€" ciliation secured a conference ugreed, subject to the approval of a mass meetâ€" ing of the men, that the mines should continue at the usual rate of pay until April ist, after which date, in view of the low price of silver, the reduction of 75 cents per day should be :made. The mass meeting of the men, howâ€" ‘ever, rejected this proposal, which the board of conciliation greatly regretted. The outside. newspapers used to make a practice of exaggerating and ‘misrepresenting everything in connecâ€" tion with the North Land. At ieast it appeared to be so. The Advance beâ€" lieves now that the trouble was chiefly due to the facts about this country and in addition had a whole host of misâ€" information and misconception about practically sure to be twisted and disâ€" torteq some way or another. However, since then the truth about the North and is people and conditions has been given so often that now practically all the South Ontario newspapers know what they are talking about when they discuss the North Twenty years ago, though, The Advance was often preved with the misconceptions and misrepreâ€" sentations of the North and did not hesitate to express its objection. Twenâ€" ty years ago yarns about Kapusikasing were the point at issue. . According to the stories in South Ontario newsâ€" papers, and even in The Cobalt Daily Nugzget, a thousand men had be>n disâ€" charged from the pulp mill at Kapusâ€" kasing, but The Advance printed the official facts of the case, namely that about 300 men workinz in the bush had been paid off as it was the end of their season, ang this was all there was to it. George R. J. Donaldson, A wellâ€" known and highly esteemed resident of Cobalt, passed away at his hoine there twenty years ago after a lengthy 111 â€" ness. He had been in poor health for some time and after the death of his wife some five months previously his Icondition had become the more seriâ€" ous. He was a native of Buckingham, Que. He was survived by seven sons, and four daughters, two of the latter, Mrs. Hardy of Timmins and Mrs. F. G:; Evans of South Porcupine, then living in the Porcupine. There was some excitement aoted by The Advance as occurring in the Sudâ€" bury district twenty years ago owing to the reported find of coal at Chelmsâ€" ford. The Advance said that the most of people would "hae their ‘oots" about there being coal near Sudbury, but all would wish the hopeful fellows were right, as the North Land would receive unusual and striking ‘mpetus to greater development and prosperity if a workable coal field were opened in or near the widespread borders of the North Land.
