It is intended to hold the first band concert this year in the Goldfields theatre, after the church services, on Sunday evening, Jan. 30th. Particâ€" culars of the programme will be anâ€" nounced next week. During the evening the gathering enjoyed Seottish songs by Mr. T. Huntley, this popular singer always being appreciated at â€" Caledonian gatherings. _ The president, Mr. W. Shew an, also favoured the Society with a couple of jolly good songs, his rendition of ‘‘Rock all the Babies to sleap,"‘‘ making a special hit. There was the usual dancing, and even betâ€" ter then the usual refreshments, there being plenty and to spare of the finest of good things to eat. The next regular meeting of the Caledonian Soâ€" ciety will be held on Friday evening, Jan. 28th, in the Hollinger hall. The regular meeting of the Caledoâ€" nian Society of Timmins in the Holâ€" linger Recreation hall on Friday evenâ€" ing last was ‘*Bachelors‘ Night.‘‘ On account of the severe weather, the atâ€" tendance was not so large as on preâ€" vious ‘‘Bachelors‘ Nights,‘‘ which are always looked upon as specially good and with particularly attractive programmes. However, all attending enjoyed the evening from beginning to end. For the business part of the programme Mr. W. Shewan, the preâ€" sident of the Society, conducted the proceedings. Among the business dealt with was the matter of the anâ€" nual Burns Banquét. It was decided, after a general discussion, not to have a Burns Banquet this year, the vote being 16 against the banquet idea and 13 for. Those favouring the continuâ€" ance of the annual Burns Banquet reâ€" ferred to the importance to Scottish people of this event and the desire not to drop this feature from the Soâ€" ciety‘s < programme. It was also pointed out that if the Caledonian Society did not have a Burns Banquet this year, it would likely be put on under other auspices as this was an event that the Scottish folk would not like to see dropped. On a vote being taken, however, the banquet idea was voted down. The address of Hon. Mr. MceCrea attracted a large attendance to the meeting and received an appreciative and attentive hearing. It was folâ€" lowed by motion pictures showing seenes in Nor thern Ontario mines, the complete evening‘s programme giving a vivid idea of the development which is taking place in the North Counâ€" try.‘‘ ‘‘{BACHELORS NIGHT‘‘ AT THE CALEDONIAN SOCIETY In the course of his address, Hon. Mr. McCrea took occasion to pay the highest of tributes to the chief «adâ€" ministor of his department. Mr. Thomas Gibson, Deputy Minister of Mines. If the mines of Ontario were successful, he said, it must not be thought that particular credit was due to the Minister of Mines who happenâ€" ed to be in office, but it must be reâ€" membered that the entire development of the mining department, which had had such an influence upon Northern Ontario exploitation, had grown up about Mr. (GGiibson and under his guidâ€" ance and direction. He had accomâ€" plished for Ontario. Hon. Mr. Mceâ€" Crea declared, a public service far greater than was generally known. Hon. Mr. MeCrea‘s subject was the mineral wealth of Northern Ontario. He treated in conservative fashion the 1mpresqwe story of the growth of the Province‘s mining industry and emâ€" phasized that Ontario found its minâ€" erals in a great preâ€"cambrian shield, a form of rock which was known to seologists as the mother of minerals It was in the preâ€"cambrian rock, he pointed out, that the deep mines of South Africa, Brazil, Siberia and West Australia were found. Ontario, accordingly, has grounds for hoping for a mining 1ndu%t1'v of great longeâ€" vity. Second place amongst the goldâ€"proâ€" ducing nations of the world will beâ€" long to Ontario by the year 1929. A stateinent to this effect was made last 'week by Hon. Charles McCrea, Minâ€" ister of Mines in the Ferguson Govâ€" ernment, in the course of an address which he delivered to the Men‘s Club of Deer Park United Church, Toronto. The further fact that by the end of the present year Ontario will possess the largest producting gold mine in the world in the Hollinger property was also by the Minister of Mines. At the present time, Hon Mr. Mecâ€" Crea pointed out, Ontariowranks third amongst the mineralâ€"producims uaâ€" tions of the world, its output being exceeded only by South Africa and the United States. With the developâ€" ment now under way in the Ontario field, however, Ontario will be in seâ€" cond place by the year 1929. By the end of the present year the Hollinger Mine, which is enlarging its milling operations to 8,000 tons per day, will be the world‘s largest producer. | Hon. Chas.

All that the directors claim is that we have 1,004 acres of well situated minâ€" eral Lmds with ideal geological conâ€" ditions. A couple of weeks ago the lwws-‘ paper carried stories relative to a platinum find on the Aconda property| at Rouyn. The story was supposed to have the full support of Mr. Dougâ€" las Mutch. Now, the president of the’ Aconda denies it. It is now up to Mr. l Mutech,â€"very much up to Mr. Muteh] â€"to explain. he . the| story an explanation is very desirâ€"| able. if his name was used without his authority then he certainly should | say so. In any event word will be anxiously awaited. If there is no such word forthcoming, it will not look well at all. The president of the Aconda Mines,| Lmuited, Mr. D. B. Rochester, ha:;* given out the following statement in the matter. It appears that there is nothing in the platinum story, and accordingly the public is entitled to some idea of the way the story origiâ€" nated. The best way to guard against the use of questionable tales about the mines is to closely check up on any that appear to be off colour. This particular one appears to be one upon which some one should write an explanation, In his statement Mr. Rochester, president of Aconda, says: ‘*As presi;fent of Aconda Mines, Limited, my attention has been drawn to a statement appearing in the press regarding a vallugable discovery of platinum on the company‘s holdings in the Rouyn distmict. To date I have received no official word of such a disâ€" covery, and, this being the case, feel that the report should be corrected.
