DREW, To purchase London Life participating policies is to share in the Company‘s success Engineering and Mining Journal, in which members of the technical staff of Mcintyre Porcupine Mines Limited present a notable series of articles deosâ€" cribing the company‘s mining and metallurgical operaticons. The industry is indebted to the authors for their generous contribution to technical literature. As an example of modernâ€" ized gold production, the Story of Mcâ€" Intyre will commend itself to mining engineers and metallurgists throughâ€" out the world.

He has had $3,000 life insurance protection throughout all these years and, in adâ€" dition, now has considerably more cash to his credit than he has paid in premiums. The total premiums ($115.80 for 19 years) $2200.20, have been reduced by annual dividends amounting to $703.59. The cash value of his policy is actually $174.39 more than the premiums paid by the policyholder. The London Life is in an exceptional posiâ€" tion to give gratifying results to its policyholders. Note: The cash value of the policy increased $120.00 this year. At the same time the premium was reduced to $61.108 by an annual dividend of $54.72. ‘Vhe increase in the value of the policy in this one year, therefore, was mnearly double the premium paid, which shows what a splendid investment this policy has become.

It is only thus that the mining industry can gain the confidence and support of the investing public. This is followed by a striking article by J. P. Bickell, president of the Mcâ€" Intyre, under the title, "Gold‘s Presâ€" tige." Mr. Bickell shows the vital necessity for gold toâ€"day; he points out that the Canadian gold mines have greatly assisted the Governments in meeting foreign obligations and ke>pâ€" ing the country on a sound basis. The enterprise of the gold mines has also contributed _ to better _ conditions through the markets they have openâ€" ed up and maintained. In concluding his article Mr. Bickell says:â€""Gold mining in Canada can no longer be termed a questionable venture. It is an essential industry. Our people realize its importance and undoubtedly everything possible will be done to inâ€" crease our production and foster the growth of the industry. MciIntyre has endeavoured in every way possible to play its full part in the marvellous deâ€" velopment of Canada‘s goldâ€"mining inâ€" dustry." "The story of McIntyre exemplifies the venturesome spirit of mining ent>râ€" prise at its best, with effort crowned by success. The deep Gevelopment programme rewarded the boldness of still ~dseper development, calling fotr large capital expenditure, is evidence of the confidence of the management and the wholeâ€"hearted support of the directors."

Before long it was apparent that the orebodies encountered extended into adjoining properties and that ways and means must be found to expand the company‘s boundaries. The company had no funds available for the purchase at this time, but it did have an enthusiastic and energetic board of directors, who were willing to back such an effort personally to the extent necessary. Unâ€" der such circumstances the properties of the Pearl Lake Gold Mines and of the Jupiter Mines Limited were purâ€" chased ubon reassnaole terms, and Mcâ€" Intyre‘s profitable history dates from the tims of these acquisitions. "Milling capacity was provided. Gradually the tonnage was increased. Profits permitted the retirement of a bond issue and later the pnrchase of additicnal property, previously owned by Plenaurum Gold Minss and Platt Veteran Gold Mines Limited, and with octher less important additions the company‘s property was expan-ded to a tctal area of 680 acres. "From a capacity of 600 tons per day in 1916, the company‘s facilitiese were gradually increased to about 1,500 tons or better. "In 1924 the directors were advised that if the then rate of production was to be maintained with the necesâ€" sary development work, additional shaft capacity was immediately requirâ€" |ed. Inasmuch as the ore was in a genâ€" eral way following the rake of the porâ€" phyry at an angle of approximately 45 deg. to the east, underground deâ€" velopment had extended away beyond the easy limits of No. 6 or the main operating shaft, and had attained a depth of 2,500 ft. "To make a long story short, the iNO' 11 sghiaft was sunk to the 4,000â€"ft. level. These new facilities speeded deâ€" velopment work, and ere long additionâ€" al capacity was warranted. An addiâ€" tion to the cld mill was next considerâ€" ed. The plant was oldâ€"partially obâ€" lsolete. It did not lend itself to expanâ€" sion and was far from the new shaft.
