SIXTEEN MINERALS !N RESOURGES Of Both Old and New Sections of the Province Share in the Rich Enâ€" dowment of Mineral Wealth. Some idea of the variety of Onâ€" tario‘s vast mineral resources is given in the report for the past year of the Department of Minesat the Parliaâ€" ment Buildings, which features a classified list of the mines operating in the province. No less than 16 difâ€" ferent minerals are specified as those for which separate mining enterprises are carried on, and the scenes of the mining operations themselves are shown, as including both Old and New Ontario savs the Toronto Mail and Ontario says the Empire last week hA 32. Te ETE ho Not all of the minerals for which commercial mining entégprise in Onâ€" tario seeks are gen@r@lly known. There is, for instance, dolomite, for the extraction of which one mine exists in Eastern Ontario. This is a calcium magnesium carbonate, very similar to marble and largely used as a substitute for marble in building construction. Actinolite, for the exâ€" traction of which another Eastern Ontario mine exists, is another comâ€" modity perhaps not so popularly known as other minerals. It also is a stone used after the fashion of ; dolomite. In colour it is either green or greyish green. o WRA CS | eÂ¥ M o N #s h-vd 4s The other minerals which the reâ€" port of the Department of Mines lists are more generally known. Foremost comes gold, which is given as the obâ€" jective of the operations of some 96 Ontario mines. Silver ranks second in respect to the number of shafts down which it is sought, some 39 conâ€" cerns being mentioned. Feldspar comes third, engaging 20 mining comâ€" panies. _ Nickel follows with seven mines being mentioned, and tale and lead take fifth and sixth place with, respectively, three and two mines beâ€" ing operated for the recovery of each mineral. Other minerals which oceur in Ontario are sought only by indiâ€" vidual mines. They include a wide variety, hawever, the Government reâ€" port mentioning asbestos, fiuorspar, garnet, graphite, gypsum, iron pyrites, mica and soapstone. F2\ P h 4 4 0 § P M L «in e So far as the location of the minâ€" erals is concerned, it is interesting to note that Old Ontario contains pracâ€" tically none of the precious minerals of gold or silver in commercial quanâ€" tities. The Ore Chimney Mine, batk in Addington County, about 30 miles north of Napanee, is the most southâ€" erly gold mine listed, and is wholly ‘naAilwidmal in the matter of its southâ€" 4 mt MB EC 1ndlv1dual in the matter of erly location. k 4 _ Y < NCE V K \° fls t In the matter of the other.minerals, however, the older part of the Proâ€" vince is not altogether without its |â€" share. _ Silver and nickel resemble gold in belonging to the northerly | division of Ontario, but not so feldâ€" spar, asbestos, mica, tale. lead and eraphite. These minerals are all found in Eastern Ontario, some in the vicinity of Perth and Kingston, and others in the more easterly counâ€" ties adjacent to Quebec. Northern Ontario in the past year or so has been interesting not alone for its actual mineral productivity, but also for the conditions under which such productivity has been carâ€" ried on. For a great many months the power situation in the district was not satisfactory, and negotiations with a view to a remedy were carried on by interests acquainted with the needs of the district, and seized also with the importance of keeping the disâ€" trict‘s development free from any power handicap. The results are menâ€" tionde in the Mines‘ Department‘s reâ€" port and they are declared to be satisâ€" factory. The Northern Canada Power Comâ€" pany has completed the development of 20,000 horseâ€"power on the Quinze River at Kakake Falls. This power is transmitted 75 miles over steel tower line to the Porcupine gold area and is connected to the distributing system through a transformer station at Schumacher. The Hollinger Mines have constracted a dam and generatâ€" ting station of 25,000 horseâ€"power capacity at Esland Falls on the Abitibi River north of Cochrane. A steelâ€" tower transmission line has been completed _ between this _ station and the Hollinger Mine at Timmins. In May last an agreement was reached with the Abitibi Power and Paper Company to take over the Island Falls development. This left the way open for the Hollinger Company to end litiâ€" gation with the Northern Canada Power Company, the latter undertakâ€" ing to supply power to Hollinger for all requirements up to 20,000 horseâ€" | power. The Abitibi Company will serap the southern part of the transâ€" mission line and divert the power via Cochrane to its pulp and paper plant at Troquois Falls.

CA t llU\iuUlo ie : NeWe TE CC The power situation in Northern Ontario as a result of the above adâ€" justments is greatly improved, some 108,000 horseâ€"power: now being generâ€" ated there. The pulp and paper comâ€" nanies of the area generate 54,000 horseâ€"power, the Northern Ontario « TM o. o an C 24 th Light and Power Company generates 20,240 â€" horseâ€"power, the Northern Canada Power Comany generates 28,000 horseâ€"power, the Great Northâ€" ern Power Co., generates 4,500 horseâ€" power, the Gowganda Power Company and the Canadian Associated Goldâ€" felds each generate 800 horseâ€"power, and the South Bay Power Company generates 250 horseâ€"power. A TALL GERARIUM OR ELSE A TALLER New Liskeard Man Claims to Have a Geranium 7 Foot 7 Inches For tall and strange political stories The Toronto Globe reserves its ediâ€" torial page. For all other kinds of tall yarns it has been the custom reâ€" cently to reserve a space in the rightâ€" hand corner of the lower part of the front page. This lower right position has been christened ‘*The Southeast Corner,‘‘ and there have been some incredible breezes and wheezes comâ€" ing from that direction. Contribuâ€" tions to The Southeast Corner have come from all sections of Canada and beyond. Some of the stories have more than rivalled the work of such famous raconteurs as Baron Munâ€" chausen, Tom Pepper and The Toronâ€" to Star.â€" With all the truthâ€"tellers all over the country trying to outvie or outlie each other, it is only to be exâ€" pected that someone from the North Land should get busy to see that this section of the country does not go unrepresented. es «y * ce uq t d ~Cur it y 2t Accordingly on Saturday of last week under the heading of ‘""A Zephyr From the North,"‘‘ the followâ€" ing appears in the Southeast Corner of The Globe :â€" CC e stt ol SW . colt â€"tn inss â€" Liskeard, Dec. 23â€"Temisâ€" kaming District, Northern Ontario, not only produces large quantities of gold, silver, pulpwood, wild Indians, bears etc., but also can grow tall geraniums. We have a geranium measuring 7 feet from root to tip. Not bad for the ‘‘Cold North Counâ€" try.‘‘ Yours truly, Henry Leng.| ©P. S.â€"Since writing the above 1 have again measured this plant, and find it is now 7 feet 7 inches tall. The highest flower is 7 feet 4 inches from the base. The plant is 26 inches wide, and is one year old. It bears three large flowers at the present time. You may have heard of how rapidly things grow in Northern Onâ€" tario, and the above is ample proof of same. Vouched for by W. G. Nixon, Acricultural Representative.â€"H.L." MEETING OF THE IRISH sOCIETY ON JANUARY 3rd.. The Secretary of the Irish Society of Timmins announces that a meeting of the Society will be held in the Irish Hall, 30% Third avenue, on Sunday, January 3rd, at 8 pm. All members of the Society are requested to attend. $ST. MARY‘S HOCKEY CHAMPS NoT COMING TO THE NORTH The plans under way last week to. have the St. Mary‘s Champion Hockey team from Toronto visit Timâ€" mins as well as other towns in the North Lard for exhibition games, have failed to materialize in the proâ€" posed tour, the St. Mary‘s finding the trip impracticable for the present. St. Mary‘s were expectâ€" ed to visit North B#y and while that far north it was hoped to have them extend the tour to include Timmins and Iroquois Falls However, for the present the Champs will not even come as far north as North Bay, so the visit here for the present is all off. There are several cases of scearlet fever at Kirkland Lake and also one case of smallpox, according to The Northern News. The smallpox case has been isolated and every precauâ€" tion is being taken to prevent the spread of the disease. JANUARY 4TH TIMMINS BUSlNESS COLLEGE R TERM in Height. 58 THIRD AVENUE, TIMMINS, ONT.
