The reaâ€" sons for this are several. First, Norâ€" thern Ontario as a Gold mining counâ€" try is in its infancy, with possibilities acknowledged to be stupendous, but little known as yet. Second, to the character of the ore deposits, which are higher in grade, more consistent and regular in size and value, than those of any other mining district on earth. +*Here then, is just one thought for your consideration. To me it seems sienificant indeed. ‘‘Now however, the producers of Gold can purchase, in terms of labor or commodities, a much greater supâ€" ply for every ounce of output. Labor a year ago scearce, indifferent and inâ€" efficient, is now elamoring for employâ€" ment. The salesman for machinery, steel, chemicals and other materials used in mining, is anxious indeed for orders, and will grant the last conâ€" cession possible to secure the business. In brief, the Gold miner has come into his own again, and for a period of years at least, will be able to comâ€" pensate himself for the lean. war peâ€" riod. to carry their product away. ‘*What a change in one short year! A twelveâ€"month ago, Gold was just about the cheapest thing on the markâ€" et. That is, its purchasing power, by reason of the high prices which preâ€" vailed for: other commodities, was lower than at any previous time in History. In the face of rising comâ€" modity prices, the very stability of its price was a severe handicap to its producers. Expressed in terms of materials, an ounce of Gold. would buy little indeed, and as for purchasâ€" ine labor, it seemed that none was ol today, makes the it very strongly indeed t shrewdest of the World ** Where, because of ‘*‘*‘buyers‘ strikes"‘ etc., the manufacturers of many other articles are beset with difficulty in marketing their output, the manufacturers of Goldâ€"and that is exactly what Gold miners areâ€"are faced with a condition exactly opâ€" posite. In other words, their energies can be devoted entirely to production, in the eertain knowledge that buyers will literally come to their very door to carry their product away.

Some months ago a very attractive young lady is said to have spent some weeks canvassing for subscriptions for various amagazines in town. A very attractive young lady can secure many more subscriptions than a homeâ€" ly old lady in a town like this,. In any event this particular young lady is said to have been very successful in securing subsceriptions. She is said to have secured over $1000.00 in subâ€" seription money for different magâ€" azines. She gave plain receipts, all duly numbered, for the money receivâ€" ed. Up to date that seems to be all that has been received by those giving her subscriptions. But, anyway, she had nice eves. ponsible for another *‘rush‘" in tne prospecting line recently. He sent half a hundred prospectors this time scurrying into the\Duncan Lake disâ€" trict in what may be termed the Matâ€" atchewan area. Some days ago Berâ€" nard came into Elk Lake bringing with him samples of quartz which con tained gold in regular ‘‘spectacular V values.s He showed the usual reticence and mystery but it was found that he had stuked half a dozen elaims. Afâ€" ter he had gone back to his find, a little diplomacy discovered that six claims had just been récorded in the Duncan Lake district. â€" Prespectors did not take long to put two and two together, and then the little rush was on. _ About twenty prospectors left Elk Lake and about thirty from Gowâ€" ganda and Fort Matatchewan. Some months ago this same Indian started a little ‘‘rush""‘ into Midlothian Townâ€" ship, following some discovery he was supposed to make there. This ‘‘disâ€" covery‘‘, proved somewhat of a fizzle in the end, but the new ‘"‘find‘‘ at Duncan Lake is believed to*be someâ€" thing worth while. At any rate.tlie prospectors are head and ears‘ up about it. If it should alsg prexe to be a frost, there is possibility ithat there may be another good Indian. $1000 IN SUBSCRIPTIONS SAID TO BE TAKEN HERE INDIAN STARTS SECOND RUSH IN ELK LAKE DISTRICT Labourites will each have a condidate from present indications. ‘There is a possibility that the Labour Party may run a candidate independent of the U.F.0., or perhaps it would be more correct to say that the possibility is that the Farmers will run a candidate of their very own irrespective of the Labour Party, This would mean four candidates in the field. Then again there is more than the usual possibilâ€" ity of one or more strictly ‘*‘independâ€" ent‘‘ ecandidates. Indeed, one man fairly well versed in politics in the North Land says he would not be surâ€" prised if there were as many as six candidates in Temiskaming this elecâ€" tou. That is not likely, however, LhQBugh one can never tell in politics. But fhe oldâ€"line usually have ways and means for bringing,. pressure to bear to prevent two many candidates confusing the issues. In such cases a little persuasion and a lot of pull works wonders in reducing the numâ€" bers of the candidates. As Shakesâ€" peare, or Clifarlie Chaplin, or some of those literary guys once said, ‘‘‘Many are called but few go to the vote.‘" But in any event, it looks like adively election. ‘The more candidates there may be the more confused the issues and the more sporting the bets will be on the results.
