Canada‘s interest in the mines lies not only in the amount of wealth, known and unknown, she possesses, but also in the fact that the mines give employment to Canadians in many secondary industries. These inâ€" dustries, without which the natural resources of a eountry possess only a comparatively low \°alue, by giving additional employtment add to the naâ€" tion a wealth, and by adding value through manufacturing processes inâ€" anew in a new setting,. One feature of the Red Lake old rush stmybolizes the advance we have made since Klondike daysâ€"the use of aeroplanes to transport men and supâ€" plies into the gold camps. These aeroplanes make in an hour and twenty minutes a trip that required six weary days on the trail by dog team. We have all be thrilled by stories of the recent gold rush to Red Lake with its tale of endurance and hardâ€" ship on the trail. The cry of ‘‘mush‘* has resounded through the north woods of Ontario, and teams of pantâ€" ing husky dogs have raced for days tm\ards a golden goal and stories of the ‘‘Trail of '05” have been w rltten anew in a new setting. Accident, which was responsible for the discovery of gold in California in 1848, was probably responsible for the first mining. We can only guess, of course, but lt seems reasonable to think that one day long ago a skinâ€" clad, clay beâ€"daubed hunter stalking lhis quarry on a rocky hillside saw the gleam of colour in the ground. Atâ€" tracted by this new thing, he dropped his weapons and pried the bright metal loose. Then, when he got back to his cave it is quite likely that he «discovered that by hammelmw metal with a piece of stone he could make it take different shapesâ€"and the metal spearâ€"head industry was born. Or, perhaps his wife, e\olaumn«r deâ€" 11"htcdl\ at the new toy, insisted upon baving it as a decorationâ€"and the jewelry industry was founded. ; Today the discovery of metals, preâ€" cious or useful is not the result of accident. They may be found by prospectors whose long years of exâ€" perience enable them to recognize the evidence of the pregence of minerals or by “’(‘OlO“’lstb, whose knowledge of the earth‘s formation lead them to the hiding places in which Nature placed treasures for hardy men to find. Today, when our civilization has adâ€" vanced to a very high state the same conditionsâ€"jobtain and the country that is rich in mineral resources ocâ€" «upies an outstanding place in the world. The Canadian Manufacturers‘ Asâ€" sociation has prepared a series of articles on ‘‘Canada‘s Opportunities"‘ The article relating to the developâ€" ment of Canada‘s mineral resources will be of special interest to readers of The Advance. It is given hereâ€" with :â€" Mining as an industry is so old that its origin is lost in the mists of anâ€" tiquity. From prehistoric times men have struggled to wrest wealth from beneath the ground and their efforts, even then, were the result of the moâ€" tives that toâ€"day send men belo# the earth in search of treasure. When civilization was in its inâ€" fancy the man who could utilize fHints, copper, gold or silver was able to have the best weapons, the most useful implements or the finest ornaâ€" ments.

A list of our mineral products would take to much time so I shall be content to mention just a few. Amongst our minerals areâ€"gold, silâ€" ver, copper, lead, cobalt, iron, manâ€" ganese, nickel, platinum, coal, zinc, feldspar, mica, gypsum, petroleum, tale, slateâ€"and stone. We have in this great dominion of ours 16 per cent. of the world‘s known coal resou@wkes, we have more nickel, asbestos and cobalt than any other country and we rank third in gold production. There is no doubt that in Canada is to be found the largest field for minâ€" eral prospectors in the world toâ€"day. The value of production from Canâ€" ada‘s mines last year was $224,846,â€" 237.00â€"twentyâ€"two times the amount produced forty years ago. â€" This inâ€" crease in a comparatively short space of time presages a remarkaWe develâ€" opment for Canada in the years to come when we consider that much of our northland remains unprospected. The Canada Year Book states, ‘* Of the north country, that sufficient reâ€" connaissance work has been done to make known the main geological feaâ€" tures, to indicate roughly the terriâ€" tories that will be found to be mineral bearing, and to predict the character of the mineral resources in the differâ€" end geological provinces."‘ crease the sums received by Canada when the finished artwles are exâ€" ported. Just as the value of our forest proâ€" ducts is increased by their manufacâ€" ture into lumber and paper, so the value of our mineral products is enâ€" hanced in the smplters and refineries of Canada.

Mining, though it may seem remote from «city life, is the basis of many commonplace things and it, like the other industries we have discussed, affects every one of us. Without the work of some miner deep below ground where would be the penpoint with which you writeâ€"and without your purchase of the Canadian pen where would be the miners‘ job. Great though mining development is toâ€"day, we look forward to rapid adâ€" vances to which some of you will no doubt contribute. With confidence in one investment field thoroughly established, there is little wonder that in other lines of enâ€" deavour Canada is looked upon as a worthy field for investment. Thus in an unseen way the industry is a valuâ€" able asset. In this industry much eapital from other parts of the world is invested and steady growth and stability have won for it the confidenc e of those with money to invest. Mining, it will be seen, is a very imâ€" portant industry to Canada and one which makes very important contribuâ€" tidns to our national wealth. It creates a lot of business for the railâ€" ways and is the foundation upon which many manutacturmn industries are built. Largest Membership it has had in its History of Thirtyâ€"four Years. Coal accounts for 23 per cent. of the investment ; â€"gold 13 per cent., natural gas 8 per ('ent nickel and copper 7 per cent., silver and cobalt 7 per cent., cement 5 per cent., clay products 5 per cent, and stone 2 per cent. The remaining 19 per cent. is invested in other mining and secondary indusâ€" tries. eral development and production, 45, 000 of them in Ontario, Nova Scotia and British Columbia. _ In salaries and wages they earn approximately $83,000,000. $623,444,000 are invested in Canaâ€" dian mines. Of this sum, $281,000,000 represents investment in metal mining and â€" metallurgical â€" works handling Canadian ores; $259,000,000 are for non metal mines and $91,255,000 in quarries and plants producing buildâ€" ing materials and clay products.

Other Interesting Matters at Kiwanis Luncheon Monâ€" day The special speaker at the Timmins Kiwanis Cluwh luncheon in the Empire Hotel grill room on Monday of this week was Mr. P. Dougall, who gave a racy and entertaining talk on his native city, Mr. Dougall being frae Aberdeen. Mr. Dougall‘s descripâ€" tion of Aberdeen, its beauties (naturâ€" al and human), and its people and history, was most interesting _ and inâ€" formative, and was so lightened with humour as to completely disprove the common slander of the Seot‘s lack of humour. Aceording to Mr. Douâ€" gall‘s picture, the hardest thing about Aberdeen is its granite. Aberdonian hearts are soft, if their heads are hard. The only reason tag days are discouraged in Aberdeen is because the people are so generous that the tag sellers are liable to be hurt in the rush to buy tags. Mr. (Geo. Lake reported on the question of assisting local sports. He pointed out that it would not be practical for the Club as a body to take on any supervision or conduct of sports, but the Club could give asâ€" sistance and encouragement to the various sports in town. He suggestâ€" ed that three sets of medals be given by the Kiwanis for the encourageâ€" ment of sportsâ€"Two of these for suninmer sports and one for winter sports. In each case the sport must be conducted by a properly organized body and must operate under a reâ€" gular league and schedule during the season.
