Canada's gold mines have re- ceived more than $131,000,000 since 1948 under the Emergency Gold Mining Assistance Act. Mines Minister Comtois said as the Commons gave first reading to a bill extending its powers an- oie three years past next Dec 31. He stoutly resisted a series of suggestions by members from Lard-rock mining constituencies that his department should exer- cise more care in making sure only qualified mines are getting the assistance paid out at about $12,000,000 a year, WARINESS NEEDED "Probably there is no mine in gold miner in Northern Ontario. lo be suspicious of anybody ac- cepting money from the public purse, dustry have for its stock promo- deal," he said.
