Chas. MceCrea last week in the course of an address to the members of Ward Two Conservative Associâ€" ation, Toronto. Hon. Chas. McCrea, Minister of Mines, Makes Important Announcement in Connection with Pulp and Paper Inâ€" dustry. Striking Developments Looked for in North Land Resources. In reviewing this epochâ€"making address The Tororto Mail Empire said :â€"â€" ‘‘In a brief review which he gave in the course of a halfâ€"hour speech, Hon. Mr. MeCrea told of the manâ€" ner in which the Provincial Governâ€" ment had realized the extent to which expansion of important industries deâ€" pended upon its efforts and policies. Particularly for the welfare of the mining and lumbering trades it had felt responsible, and upon assuming office, hadâ€"assured the one stability and fair treatment in the matter of taxation, and had undertaken an exhaustive survey with regard to the possibilities of the other. The results in the case of mining, for which the Government did not take all the credâ€" it, had been most gratifying from the public viewpoint. In the year just past, Hon. Mr. McCrea announced, Ontario had achieved her peak year as a gold producer, recovering $29,â€" 800,000 worth of the precious metal, in contrast to the $25,000,000 of 1924, which constituted the previous high record. es ‘*‘The total mineral production of the year had been in excess of $85,â€" 000,000, and an interesting feature in connection with this amount had been the extent to which the nickel industry bhad contributed. _ Bereft since the war of the armament marâ€" kets which it had for several years enjoyed, the nickel industry had had recourse to research to find new uses for its product.. So successful had it been in its quest that last year‘s outâ€" put of the industry had been 40 per cent. in excess of any previous preâ€" war year, and it was hoped within one or two years to again reach the peak of warâ€"time production. is not a sign upon the horâ€" izen,‘‘ Mr. MceCrea declared, ‘‘to indiâ€" cate that the future of the mining inâ€" dustry in Ontario will be»anything other than one of steady expansion for years to come. We look confiâ€" dently towards a $90,000,000 producâ€" tion this year, to a $100,000.000 proâ€" duction next year, and to even greatâ€" er production in the years to come.‘‘ While the Government could not take all the credit for this expansion, the Mining Minister. stressed howâ€" im portant a factor had been the Governâ€" ment‘s assurance of stability to inâ€" HIGH SGROOL PUPILG T0 VISIT SOUTH END FRIOAY Interesting Debate Promised.

The following notes of High School activities have been contributed by cne of the pupils delegated as school reporter for the occeasion. With the opening of the High School rink, hockey has taken the foremost position in the sports of the school. A hockey league has been formed, comprising five teams, capâ€" tained by Kenneth Sterling, Jack Leng, Rupert: Donaldson, Lloyd Gialâ€" lonardi and Harold Craig. Three games have been played so far in the schedule Yrawn up. These games are clean, _ wellâ€"contested, _ with _ some players showing great promise as fuâ€" ture hockey stars.

The increase in the gold production from the $25,000,000 of 1924, ‘he pointed out, was due to the increased amount of capital for development which had been encourâ€" aged to come in. ‘*Plans had accordingly been made to foster this expansion of the pulpâ€" wood industry from the 2,300 to the 4,500 tons of daily production. Clean cutting, which would reduce fire hazâ€" ards, and intelligent reforestation had been appreciated as conditions of the industry ‘s perpetuity and clauses to require these practices had been inâ€" serted into the Government‘s form of contract, and other clauses had been added which gave to the lessgors of the limits not indiseriminate â€" cutting rights such as they have exercised in the past, but cutting rights under strict Government supervision. With these restrictions limits had been put up for sale in the Thunder Bay and Kapuskasing area of sufficient size to support the greater pulp industry which the Government visioned for the Province, and contracts for their sale had been concluded. _ The sale agreements, Hon. Mr. MceCrea anâ€" nounced, were now concluded, and specified capital expenditures by the ‘‘Hon. Mr. MceCrea discussed then the policy which the, Government, upon assuming office in 1923, had deâ€" veloped towards the lumbering indusâ€" try. It had first of all caused a surâ€" vey to be made of Ontario lumberâ€" ing and pulpwood resources, which had revealed the important fact that the Province had upwards of 200,â€" 000,000 cords of pulpwood and 10 billion feet of red and white pine. From the first of these figures the (Government had come to the conâ€" eclusion that Ontario, which at presâ€" ent had a paper industry turning out 2,300 tons of newsprint per day, could support in perpetuity pulp inâ€" dustry turning out 4,500 ton% of newsâ€" print per day. ‘‘Hon., Mr. MeCrea linked Old ard New Ontario togéther by stressing that the province‘s great hinterland could not be developed upon so vast a scale without the trading and inâ€" dustnal interests of the older part of the province benefitting to a like exâ€" tent. The expenditure of $80,000,000 in New Ontario, he pointed out, would prove a tremendous factor in the prosperity, of the older _ section of the province as the money passed down through the ordinary channels of trade, resulting in a vast purchasâ€" ing power from which all industry must benefit.‘‘ end of 1927 of $80,000,000.

FIRE DESTROVS HUNTER RLOCK AT CORALT SundAY Loss® Will be Heavy...Throee People Injured...Origin of Fire Not Yet Discovered. NJ Word was received in town on Stinâ€" day afternoon of the destruction of the old and wellâ€"known Hunter block in Cobalt. The fire broke out just before 4 a.m. Sunday, and the whole of the first and second floors seemed to be on fire. _ The fire spread with great rapidity. The Cobalt firemen put up a good fight and did excellent work in preventing an even more disâ€" astrous fire. «»Haileybury and New Iaskeard brigades sent assistance, and there were twelve streams playing on the fire. Despite the eéforts of the fireâ€"fighters, however, four stores in the Hunter block itself and two others in a smaller building immediately to the north were wiped out and a numâ€" ber of officess and apartments, together with contents, went up in the conflaâ€" eration. _ Buildings across the road were also seorched. The firemen, however, did wonders in preventing any general spread of the fire. Forâ€" tunately there was no wind, but it was very cold. _ Three persons were injured. during the fire, two of them going to theâ€" hospital. Thomas Peter, caretaker of the Hunâ€" ter block, had his back injured and was also slightly burned when he escaped from the building by jumpâ€" ing from a window on the second floor.. Miss Olga Johnson was burnâ€" _ed about the face and arms. Jas. Anderson, a roomer in the Woolworth building across the street, was slightâ€" ly hurt going down a fire escape. The Hunter block was four storeys high. The top storey, having been condemned by the Board of Health some years ago, was not occupied. The building was a frame structure and was generally considered as danâ€" gerous â€"from a fire standpoint. The loss will be heavy, as insurance rates were high enough to discourage much insurance being carried. The origin of the fire is not known, some suggestâ€" ing that it likely commenced from a defective stove or stovepipe, the building being heated individually by the various occupants, and there beâ€" ing no ‘central heating system. The principal sufferers are: Moore Drug Co., Walter Belsham, jeweler; Geo. Mitchell, barrister; J. Irwin, grocer; H. Whelan, poolroom; K. MacKay, | tailor; the Rex confectionery. International Broadcasting Week proved close to a complete failure last week, so far as Timmins radio fans were concerned. _ So far only four have reported as being able to get anything from any of the overâ€" seas stations... Mr. W. 8. Johns heard part of a musical programime. NThree others on one evening heard part of the announcement and a few bars of a concert, the rest of the programme being drowned out by radio howls and squeals. The three referred to each had a Freshman Masterpiece 5â€" tube set. They were Omer Demers, F. J. Hornby and Herbert Edward Gridley. Thkey think it was Manâ€" chester they heard, but are not sure.
