WILL ASSISTANCE BE ‘ dIvEN GOLD MINING? WEDWHESDAY, JULY 3ist., 1918. Canada â€" @A YUdL United States â€" $3.00â€"a year Subscrintion Rates : Residence 112 o uy ts P ies :10 . ts P0 3 We sX s w ue n . moasure of relief would almost necessâ€", j arily run along one or all of three lines. First, some assistance could be givenâ€"by t%the adjustmentâ€" of texation imposed : on gold. amines. This taxaâ€" tion â€"was popular previously chiefly because of the large amounts earned by producing gold mines, but at presâ€" ent such a reason or excuse for heavy Esxation does not hold good. Secondâ€" ly, adequate control of the alien labor making up so large a proportion : of the workers in the gold mines would be of assistance. But perbaps anyâ€" thing so .. reasonable and | sensible. should not be expected from a Governâ€" ment, especially in a time of war. The third suggested form of help to the gold mining industry would be in the form of a bourty on gold produced or.a guarantee to offset the high costs of labor gnd materia:s. In tie U.S. such a bounty is being earnestly adâ€" voeated by :many thoughtful people: at the present time. The proposal to bring in coolice labor for the mines is rot a desirable attempt at a solution of the problems. The truth is that the alien labor so largely used already is in some measâ€" ure responsible for many of the diffiâ€" calties encountered. The experience of the North Land with foréign labor is not such as to tend to a favorable reception for any proposal to experiâ€" ment further with alien workers. If | the labor now hers were properly used | and controlled by the Government at I Otiawa, the labor question would soon solve itself. ance l23 PROMPT RESPONSE TO FIRE CALL TUESDAY. Although the team was working on | the roads at the time, a very prompt response was made to an alarm of fire sent in from No. 24 box. â€" Indeed, the fire equipment was on the way to the fire before the bell sounded. The reason for this was partly of course because a telephone call preceded the ringing in of the alarm, but even alâ€" lowing for this the fire brigade‘s reâ€" sponse was of the usual prompt and effective kind. ‘The fire was in the ‘roof of Councillor C. G. Williams‘ house, apparently being started from % e d ~* T a spark from the chimney. Smoke was noticed issuing from the roof by Exâ€"Mayor Wilson who telephoned at once to the fire hall. The blaze was extinguished by the use of the chemicâ€" al extinguishers and without the use of water. The fire burned a hole in iL hnt nnitv 4 small amount of the roof but only a small amount damage was done. Tw wR p'ointed f)l-lt-'béfqre any BlG bto. Slac OURD AT MATATGREWAN Large Dykce Discovercd on â€" Cla: Owned by John W. Pogg and | Others. Much int em,t was aroused during the past few days by the report that a large dyke bearing gold had ibeen uncovered on the Matatchewan clainms owned ‘by Mr. J. \'\ Fogzg and other Timmins citizens. The discovery was made by the men doing assessment work on the claims, and proved to be very promising. The formation on the claims indicated gold and w hile no free gold was \'lsnblo the panning on the dyke uncmex'ed showed enâ€" couraging quantx"les of gold. As the Adyke extend; rearly the full width of the claims and the Tormation and other indications are of the right char acter the property may prove one of the richest. The property is a mile or so from the Otisse and has similar formation to the latter. Diamond drilling and other wor k on the Otisse indicates the probability of a uch plopertv " On the Fogg claims only the first year‘s assessment work is done, but: work is now under way to do two years‘ work more now,. The encouragement mven by thc wan ul- > 19 ready done would suggest that further development will prove out the properâ€" ty to be a rich one. ‘The discovery of the dyke has created much interest in the claims and the Timming men Hiave had several suggestions as to givâ€" ing an option, but their present idea C it o C # is to go on and test out the property further.
