Considerable interest and discus- sion has been aroused in mining and other circles through the recent action of the. Ontario Department. of Mines in taking over mining claims for non- payment of acreage tax. There 'has been a general complaint that. the own crs ot’ the claims concerned did not have sufficient warning or notice. Several important mining properties. especially in the Kirkland Lake area. 11'? reported as affected. The recent list appearing in the Ontario Gazette, â€"-â€"the ollicial organ of the Ontario Goâ€" \'ernment,â€"containei‘l about 1000 min- ing claims reverting to the Crown be- cause of non-payment of average tax under t'lieymining Act of Ontario. These 1900 claims involve an acreage of about 70,000 acres. lM‘any voice the complaint that the procedure adopted was particularly hard on U.S. and other outside interests. ()n the other hand the Department of Mines sayy‘ that all defaulting owners were duly notified by registered letter regarding the law in the matter. “What more could we be expected to do?” the De- partment ollieials are reported as en- quiring. The Department also points out. that the defaulting owners have the right to re-stake and so they are not in as bad position as some of them seem to think. The Departmentfur- ther suggests that no exceptionally valuable claims ha\e hee 11 lost. The reports that certain prominent Kirk- land Lake properties were re-opened t'or .s:taki11§_‘r by the default is not hard- l\ correct in practice. While some of them were among those listed as in det tault the presen nt owners promptly took advantage of their opportunity for re-staking. In the eunsideration and discussion of the list of properties re-opened by default, it might. be well for all in this part of the. North Land to remember that the majority of the claims con- cerned are situated in Northwestern Ontario. There are, however, several hundred gold and silver claims along the '1'. N. 0.

Jack takes a particular pride in this new gun and has been telling all :Ind sundry what execution it will do in the bush. This has tempted an- other Jack, Chief \Vilson, to break out in poetry about the matter. Here is the poem as written by the Chief of Police:â€" Deep, deep in the heart of the fiorest The old buck sorrowfuLly stands, For Soon, too soon, he must lead his WIRELESS TELEPHONES IN USE IN NORTH LAND. It is not generally known, but a fact} nevertheless, that the North Land has wireless telephones in active opera-‘ tion. The Abitibi Power 'Paper Co. with its usual up-to-date methods, has installed a wireless telephone outfit for the transmission of messages between Iroquois Falls and TWin Falls. It is the intention to extend the ‘wireless telephone system for the use of many of the Abitibi camps, thus linking up the various outlying stations with the main plant and the town. So far as is known, this is the first wireless telephone system yet to be placed in theNorth Land. There are only a few wireless stations in Ontario. For the long stretches of the North Land, the wireless seems to be particularly practical and desirable. herd To some far distant land.
