Ten years ago the United States acâ€"counted for nearly threeâ€"quarters of the continent‘s total gold producâ€" tion. But since 1917 the gold output of the States has been almost cut in two, falling from over 4,000,000 ounces to little more than 2,000,000 ounces. The output for 1927 touched the lowest level in more than thirty Vears. With the United States gold proâ€" duction declining, and that of Mexico virtually stationary, Canada has rapâ€" idly assumed a position of much greater relative importance, says the Natural Resources Bulletin, published by the department of the interior. Compared with the figures for 1927 Canada‘s gold production last year showed an increase of nearly 150 per cent. The Dominion has outdistanced Mexico as a gold producing country and has been steadily closing in upon the United States. Amounting to less than oneâ€"fifth of the United istates production in 1917, Canada‘s output last year fell only 15 per cent short of that of the States being 2,178,000 ounces as compared with the latter‘s 4,051,000 ounces. During this tenâ€"year period the gold production of North America as a whole shows a substantial decline. Were it not for the manner in which the Canadiani output has leaped forâ€" ward, North America‘s relative imâ€" portance among the gold producing continents would have been severely reduced.

INSTRUCTION IN FLYING TO BE GIVEN AT ROUYN. says :â€"â€" ‘*Considerable criticism has been levelled at the Ferguson Highway North Bay to Cochrane, but commerâ€" cial men tell us it is greatly improved of late and is much used. We have been asked ‘‘ what is the state of the road from (Cochrane to Kapuskasâ€" ing?‘‘ As far as we can learn it is in a state of comatose.‘‘ The Rouyn News last week says :â€" ‘*Two new hydroplanes, a Fairchild 4â€"passenger cabin monoplane and a "The machines were flown from Toâ€"| ronto to North Bay on Sunday last,| and after staying over night, left the next morning for Haileybury, iand then came on here. The flight from there to Rouyn took only 45 minutes. ‘*The monoplane was piloted by Mr. P. Pliske, generalâ€"manager of the General Airways Limited. The other passengers were Dr. A. E. Zimmerâ€" man of Chicago who is paying a visit of inspection in the Northern Canada mining fields; Miss I. A. MeArthur and Miss ‘M. Smith, both of Haileyâ€" bury.

THE PORCUPINEH ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘‘Mr. Richard is at present busily engaged getting data for a special aviation number to be published this month. Mr. Richard left here Thursâ€" day noon for a tour of inspection of the Malartic area. ‘‘*Before leaving Captain Pliske deâ€" clared to the News that the new Moth plane which was delivered to the company will be used for instrueâ€" tional purposes. He has already a number of puipls who wish to learn the art of flying and regu1a1 instrucâ€" tions will be giv en both in Haileybury Amos and hele GET RID OF THE MENACE OF THE DRUNKEN DRIVER The following helpful editorial is from The Toronto Mail and Empire: ‘*The act for the Government con-| tro of the liquor traffic was put on the statute book in accordance with the expressed demand of a very large maâ€" jority of the voters. The evils it was designed to stamp out have for thel most part disappeared. What remains of the bootlegging business is bhut a drop as compared with the reservoir that was kept flowing under prohibiâ€" tion. The act is being strictly adminâ€" istered, The abuse of permits is beâ€" ing guarded against by the Board‘s ready exercise of its power to eancel them. From time to time offenders have had their eyes opened to the fact that though there is a legal way of purchasing alcoholic beverages, there is no license for drunkenness. _ The drunkard or the man who misbehaves under the influence of liquor is liable to penalties over and above the loss of his permit, The magistrates of the Province are no doubt thoroughly conâ€" versant witlh the powers and the reâ€" \quirements of their office in respect to d@runkenness, but some of the magisâ€" trates are not showing due sternness to men who, while under the influence of liquor, are operating motor cars. Lt eannot be too strongly impressed upon the magistracy that the Government is determined to put the drinking drivers off the road. Only the sober man ought to be allowed to have charge of a motor car. If the drinking man is eliminated there will be a great deâ€" crease in motor car casualties. Get rid of the drunkard and of the man who is but half sober and the highâ€" ways will be relatively safe. The first thing to be done to make the roads aafe is to get the drinking driver completely off them. The Kapuskasing Courier last we« Mr. Chas. Hall, manager of Homer L Gibson Co.‘s Timmins office, exâ€" peets to leave this week for a holiday visit to the coast. South The Kapuskasing Courier last week says :â€" ‘*The contract having been let to Hill Clark and Franeis for 40 addiâ€" tional houses for the Spruce Falls Power and Paper Company some reâ€" lief will be afforded to the many new mill employees arriving. Vacant houses have been scarcer than ‘‘hen‘s teeth.‘! COoONTRACT FOR FORTY MORE HOUSES AT KAPUSKASING PUZZLED ABOUT SPECIAL TRAINS ON RAILROADS The matter of the attitude of the railways in regard to special trains is something that puzzles The Kapusâ€" kasing Courier. In an editorial noto last week The Courier says :â€" ‘*One of the mysteries of the age is that of the difficulty in securing special train for any purpose, and getting reduced rate. _ We have heard about the mighty struggles of the railâ€" ways trying "to pay then' bond interâ€" est etc., but why they should refuse to d(-eept good cash business is one of those conundrums we cannot fathom. It would seem the railways so there is double regret at the unâ€" fortunate accident. â€" While at a pracâ€" tice during the weekâ€"end at Schumaâ€" cher he slipped and fell breaking the bone in his ankle. â€" First aid was promptly given and then he was hurâ€" ried to the hospital where he is makâ€" ing the best of progress to recovery. The accident, however, will put him out of baseball for the season, and all will specially regret the injury to this popular young fellow who has won large hosts of friends in the camp. All will wish him sincerely the very earliest possible recovery. â€" would prefer to let their coaches Jlie idle, their engines rest peacefully in the 10undhuuaes than do the undigniâ€" fied thing of reducing the rate for an excursion. The ul\\ ays may have another way of looking at it. In fln\ event we can‘t see it in their light.‘ R. LANGDON BROKE HIS ANKLE PLAYING BASEKBALL Mr. R. Langdon, brother of ;\I{'. wW. (%. Langdon, met with a painful and unfortunate accident during the weekâ€" end. He has been spending this sumâ€" mer in the camp as he did last year, and the MciIntyre baseball team had taken advantage of his skill as a baseâ€" ball player to enlist his services on their classy ball team. â€" He was looked upon as one of the topâ€"notchers and gtfiifi!fi55555555555555’55555555§ § a (m'let at the unâ€" \\ hile at a pracâ€" Goldfields Theatre Matinee 2.30 One Da.y Only Evening 8.30 TUESDAY, AUGUST 21st WINGS A Paramount Picture Reserve Your Seats at Goldfield Drug Store Youth, hitting the clouds!
