MINIIiG MAPS NOW BEING “'“mmn on T THEN R Recent maps issued by the Ontario Dept. of Mines are being backed with linen. This makes the maps much more durable and more suited for the rough usage necessary in handling by prospectors out on the trail. The linen maps are thus very much more value- able for outside work. 1The linen maps show/he mining claims 'veeorded in the various townships of the North Land. The maps are being sold at 75 cents per township, this being under- stood to be about the actual cost of production. The maps atarupUtwdate in every way. The ordinary paper maps are still available at the old rate of 25 cents .per township. Mv.utpd (Mrs, B. croskery, and Tamily, off/Cobalt, spent Christmas in the Camp. .

Thirty or forty of the leading min- ing men of Toronto met last week and drafted a letter to Hon. Mackenzie King, asking for the appointment of 1 a separate'Minister and Department in the new governrdent to look after the mining interesits of the Dominion of Canada. They expressed the hope ,that the Minister of Mines to he ap- jointed" will be one well fitted by ex- perience and ability t give leadership and energetic, 1',k're', guidance to the industry that more than any other ‘must be depended for the colonization hind opening-up of Northern Canada." In making their recommendations l they pointed out the importance of the mining industry to the Dominion. In the past seven years 35.7' per cent. of the freight revenue of the Can- adian steam railroads» was provided through the products of the mines. This percentage is double that of agriculture, the next largest in im- portance -to the railroad;'." The sue- cessful operation of the National , Railway lines, particularly in the part extending from Quebec to Winnipeg and in the northern parts of British "'olutnbia, is largely dependenthw8n {the development and utilization of the immoral resources of the northern dis- tricts near the railway lines. The letter from Toronto also points outi that thy mining; industry of Canada) hag shown very steady growth. tn 11888 the production on a per capita (basis was only $2.67. 1131898 this had igrown to $7.32. In 1908 it was $13.16 land in 1918 it was $24.59. The gross imineral production of Canada now iamounts to approximately $200,000,- ‘000.00 per year. Of Cgnada's total export trade, over 10 per cent. is re- presented by the metallic production iof her. mines, eselusiver,of coal and non-metallie minerals. The letter to the PremieruEleet summarizes-the im.. portance of the mining industry in a way that should make clear the ad.. visability and necessity for a separate Ministry of Mines in the new Domini- on Cabinet. - (Mr. and Mrs. J.

The concert contained some exception- al sipgers and their voices were heard as clearly as if they were in the next room. It was a. wonderful exhibition of what the wireless telephone can do.

The following is from Saturday 's issue of The Toronto Mail & Empire V (“Some exceptionally good samples of ore from the 850-foot level of the Dome Mines were received in/the city yesterday, taken from a vein the pro- duet of which will range from $40.00 to $300.00 R ton. ' Tise main shaft is now nearing a depth of 1,450 feet; wherent the down- ward extension of the hfgh-grado ore- bodies are proven to exist by diamond drilling:) Actual development between the 1,150 and 1,450-foot levels is ex- pected to reveal good values and add greatly to ore reserves. , fLatniltomB. Wills and ed. say'-- "Another profitable month was enjoy, ed by Dome Mines during November," during which period a total in excess of 30,000 tons of ore was treated, and) mill heads averaged $8.40/1mr ton,' while overhead costs, we are advised, run about $23.50 per ton, leaving a net profit of approximately $146,000 or three times current dividend vequire- ments. Operations so far this month are also reported as very profitable' but if the mine management so de- sired, net profits during any 30-day period could easily be made to far exceed current earnings." o-ro-ooo-ooo-o'--"'"".
