In reference to this matter The Toronto (Mail Empire last week had an editorial article of much inâ€" terest and significance. The Mail Empire says:â€" . j ' *A ~<"It,is strange that the ‘address of Dr. Parks, Professor of Geology at the University of Toronto, upon ‘‘The Mineral Resourees of Northern. Onâ€" tario,‘‘ before the Royal Society of Arts on July 27 received no publiâ€" city from The Times and other Lonâ€" don newspapers. He took aéivantage of the opportunity to refute the statement of ~ John Maynard Keynes in ‘‘A Tract on Monetary Reform,‘‘ published in 1924, that ‘‘a quarter of a century has passed since the discovery of an important deposit‘‘ (of gold), and expressed surprise that the extraordinary richness of the Northern Ontario goldfield was not better known. It is important that the correction should receive as wide circulation as the disparaging remark | quoted, ‘because Mr.‘ Keynes was selâ€" ected to confer with the Committee of the British House of Commons dealing with the Gold Standard, which of course involves the question of gold production. - s 1905, when Northâ€"eastern Ontario that puts Ontario among the leading gold producing countriese of the | Poreupine group (chiefly five) proâ€" duced gold to . the value of $22,266,â€" 1910 to that date was $136,459,187. In the Kirkland Lake area in 1924 Six mines produced $3,593,433 in gold and the. total production since 1913 was | $14,085;872. The first three months of 1925 showed a substantial increase, and established. a new reâ€" {‘eord for gold production in Ontario.. ‘‘Dr. Parks pointed out that since began to attract attention, there has developed a gold mining . industry world. In 1924 the mines of the 894, and the total production from ‘duction of the Province. In the days before Porcupine changâ€" ed the gold production of the Province to important figures, prospectors every so often centered on some placer proposition. last week recalled one of these placer rushes,. Vermillion River Placers‘‘ loomed large to many. The prospectors went in from Sudbury to the Vermillion River Valley, some 830 or more miles west and north. Representatives of the Ontario Department of Mines were alâ€" so sent in to report on this placer proâ€" position. tells about colours being found in An oldâ€"time prospector It was about 1900. and the One of the early reports every pan but they were small colours. One placer miner was known to â€" have obtained 3,cents‘ worth of gold per cubic foot of gravel, though this does not sound at. all encouraging toâ€"day. However, in those days by means of hydraulic mining plans, placer mining could be carried on at a profit if there were lots of material carrying even 3 cents per cubic yard. In reference to the Vermillion River Rlacers, Mr. A. P. Coleman is quoted as saying in 1900 in one of his reports that the source of the gold had not been deâ€" termined, but that it was likely that the auriferous gravel had bgen brought considerable distance by glaâ€" cial action, and that probably the source of the placer gold would be found to be north and northâ€"east. This was a pretty good prophecy of the Porcupine gold area. | _ | 3 ‘In connection with this prophecy it is interesting to note a paragraph from ‘‘Canada,‘‘ the London, Engâ€" land, journal. The journal in the course of an interesting article on the ‘early days of gold mining in Ontario Says :â€" ie ‘‘It is very curious, in the light 'of this reference to the discouragements encountered thirtyâ€"five years ago" «e c oc 2s DixssaAaze â€" On Thursday evening in a burlesque softball game the A.S.D; team defeatâ€" ed a team â€" representing the Kiwanis Club ofâ€"Timmins by score of 14â€"7.
