Arrangements have been made )$ the Ontario Mining Association, on behalf of the gold producers of Onâ€" tario, for their metal to be refined at the Ottawa bhranch of the Royal Mint. Returns will be received for this gold in Canadian funds. This has largely been effected through the efforts of (G. C. Bateman, Secretary of the asâ€" sociation. All the machinery and orâ€" ganization, necessary for the refining of gold and production of coins, is already installed at Ottawa, as the reâ€" fining of gold bullion therc involves the use of facilities that have not hitherto been employed to the fullest extent. Notice has been sent to members of the Mining Association, informing them of the proposed arrangements. It has been found that under Clause 5, Section 1, of the Royal Proclamaâ€" tion of 1907, establishing the Ottawa branch of the Royal Mint, any person may bring gold bullion to the mint and have it fransformed into gold coin. As gold coins, both British and Canaâ€" dian, are legal tender, it naturally follows that bullion ean be shipped to Ottawa and minted into gold coins which can be deposited in the banks at par. This may be done without extra expense, as the charge for reâ€" fining is included in the mint charges whether the coining is actually done or not. It is understood that some prominent Canadian bankers advanced the opinion that there carn e no obâ€" jection on the part of the banks to the deposit of gold coin. There are several problems incidental to the working arrangement, which has been arrived at between the Mining Assocâ€" iation and the Royal Mint. There is the matter of transportaâ€" tion from the mint to the bank, which is largely overcome by the «Departâ€" ment of Financee agreement, to allow the use of its armoured cars, with a police escort, for the transport of coin from the mint to any bank in Ottawa. However, gold coin will only be delivered to the extent of the gold in the bullion, and does not cover the silver, In order to avoid the necessity of each shipper having to look after his own silver, the Department of Finance hag agreed to allow the mint to dispose of the silver resulting from the refining of the bullion and to acâ€" count to the owners for the proceeds after receipt of payment for the silver,. It is estimated that the arrangeâ€" ment with the Royal Mint will save Poreupine gold producers $36,000 anâ€" nually, on the basis of a $24,000,000 prodffction, representing a saving of $1.50 per $1,000. In the case of Kirkâ€" land Lake producers, the ‘saving will amount to $10,800, at the rate of $1.80 per $1,000, on an annual production of $6,000,000. This makes a total of $46,800. There is also a further subâ€" stantial saving when American exâ€" change sells at a discount, as it does It is estimated that about fourteen days are required for the mint to make delivery of coin? after receipt of the bullion.. That, at least, is the maximum time under the regulations. The mint is handicapped by the fact that there is no. surplus of gold on hand, which would enable it to start coining before actual delivery of bulâ€" lion by the the mint had sufficient quantity of gold on hand, to permit delivery of coin in the same length of time, as if payment were being made by cheque, the situation would be: more ‘satisfactory to the mines. Up to date, it has not been possible to make such an arrangement with the Department of Finance. at present, as each 1â€"32 per cent disâ€" count amounts to practically $10,000 a year. The proposed arrangement with the Department of Finance has nothing to do with export licenses, and the granting or withholding, of such licenses will continue to be subâ€" ject to the provisions ‘of the Finance Act. The members of the association, that are producers of gold, have been asked to give their approval to the arrangement and to report as to the time when shipments will be comâ€" That famous South American river, the Amazon, is said to have derived its name from an Indian word meaning menced ‘‘boat destrover,"‘‘ from the dangerâ€" ous action of the tidal waves at its mouth. The Amazon Valley yields large quantities of rubber which is transported and shipped from Para at the river‘s mouth,. the name Para rubber. Only the best gum is used in the manufacture of Columbus Rubber Boots which are everywhere famous for their comfort and excellent wearâ€" ing qualities, Made in a large upâ€" toâ€"date factory with the most modern machinery, operated by experienced workmen, it is no wonder that such an enviable reputation has been esâ€" tablished and maintained. _ All the best dealers handle these boots.

The Committee of the Mechanics and Electricians Masquerade Ball deâ€" sire, through the medium of Dome Foam, to express their gratitude to the ladies who were responsible for the very delectable supper that was proâ€" vided at the Dance. The ‘‘Eats‘‘ were a great help towards making the dance the success it undoubtedly was. Mr. Mrs, Kendall, of Iroquois Falls, spent the weekâ€"end with Mrs. 0. Gillette. In the list of gentlemenâ€"on the comâ€" mittee of the Masquerade Ball, the name of Mr. W. G4 Sharpe, inaâ€" vertently omitted. ‘*Bill"‘ was there with his sunn\nsmile. Mr. H. P. DePencier has returned home ater his trip to the West. â€"_ Mr. Snow and Mr. Cruse of Timâ€" mins were visitors to Mr., and Mrs. S. Phillips on Sunday evening. The amount of dust that was raised by the winds from the Slimes Tailings and spread over such a large area where it wasn‘t wanted, was stronvly reminiscent of Timmins as it was beâ€" fore the streets were paved. The iregular meeting of the St. John Ambulance Brigade falling on payâ€"night accounted for the fact that only five turned‘up. It was decided to defer the presentation of the certiâ€" ficates until next evening when the Division Surgeon, Dr. Kirkâ€" up is expected to present them to the ist and 2nd men. It is hoped that there will be a bumper turnâ€"out of members. Mr. Robert Wallace is back on the job again and we have to apologize for our mistaken supposition that Mrs. Wallace had also returnce1 as mentionâ€" ed in last week‘s ‘Foam.‘ Mrs. Walâ€" lace and young Bob are staying over in Scotland until after New Year‘s. Bob didn‘t mind the mistake, as he imagined that the misâ€"stated facts might come in handy for an alibi. While the municipal elections are still a long way off slight whisperings of impending possibilities are heard. One was that Mr. J. Robertson woul!d be a candidate for election as councilâ€" lor. There is every reason to believe that Jack with his characteristic Scotch canniness and business acumen would make a darned good councillor and would poll a big vote if he finally decides to accept the importunities Mrs. P.

Notices have been posted around calling a meeting to organize a Hockey Club. On account of the men workâ€" ing different shifts, Sunday afternoon has been chosen as the most suitable time for a well attended meeting. No doubt there is good hockey materâ€" ial here and no good reason can be shown why the Dome shouldn‘t be able to put up a good bid for the Mines League Trophy this season.

We hope to see Mr. Henry back with us again before long much increased in health and vitalityv. Mrs. Walter Honer has had her brother, Mr. E. N. Jamieson, visiting her recently. Mr. Jamieson is well and favourably known in Hockey circles having been â€"Manager and Coach of, the Owen Sound Greys last year when that team won the Memorial Cup, emblematical of the Junior Championship of Canada. As will be remembered the newspaper accounts of the games in the Junior series stated that the class of Hockey put up by the Juniors was equal to, if not better than, the Senior series.
