Arrangements were made for the 1927 School which will be held at Friday‘s Point from July 25th to August l1st. A fine programme has been outlined and prospects for another successful school are bright. Rev. J. D. Parks, of Timmins, is president of the school. * More about a Bell-Lifié Road System for the North This week The Advance is in receipt of a letter from Mr. H. A. Preston, now of Elk Lake, who forwards also a diagram showing that there are only three short strips now to cut to make a belt line of roads in the North Land. The diagram shows that there is a roadway already in operation between Sudbury and North Bay. With the completion of th@ North Land Highâ€" way, autos will be able to travel from North Bay to Timmins. From Timâ€" mins a roadway is eut to Bartlett. From Bartlett to High Falls a strip needs to be cut. From High Falls to Elk Lake there is a road, and also from Elk Elk to Gowganda. â€" From Gowganda to Shiningtreg it would be necessary to cut another short strip, and then from Shiningtree to Sudâ€" bury. This would make the complete belt of roads. _ Mr. Preston points out the advantage in such a belt line in the matter of the tourist traffice exâ€" pected here with the completion of the highway. It would mean that the tourists could go around the belt inâ€" stead of travelling back the same way that they came. In addition the belt line would materially aid in the openâ€" ing up and development of new and promising country. Mr,. Preston beâ€" lieves it would be a great thing for Timmins, and he believes the business men here should get busy on the matâ€" ter. But let. Mr. Preston speak for himself on this matter. Here is what he says in the latest letter to The Adâ€" vance :â€" h "Only Three Short Strips to Cut." Threeâ€"quarters of the Roads Necessary Now Used by Autos. Why Not Finish the Other Quarter of the Belt Line?" Asks the Oldâ€"Timer, Mr. H. A. Preston. ‘*‘Now that is shortly to be connected by road with Sudbury, and there is a road south of Timmins to Bartlett, and if a few miles were cut eastward to McNeil and Baden, you would strike a road 33 miles alâ€" ready cut to Elk Lake. â€"This only needs putting in shape then, as you know there is already an auto road to Gowganda, 28 miles, and when you land at Gowganda, just think how close you are back near Sudbury aâ€" gain, and all of threeâ€"quarters of the whole route around. So I think it is time ‘that the Government should do a little of this each year until a Belt Line is clean around, starting at Timâ€" mins to go to Elk Lake. "‘What will all this mean. It will mean that tourists who come to the North by auto will see the country, clear around, all the great mines, THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE. TTIMMINS _ ANTARPIO mills, lakes, rivers, and mountain seenery. â€"Also, the people of Timmins will not have to go 150 miles out of their way to get to Sudbury. _ The prospectors would be able to get in supplies for properties between the two places, and there sure is another silver mining camp south of Gowganâ€" da on the route to Sudbury. _ Every mile of country from Poreupine south to Sudbury lies in firstâ€"class mining landâ€"gold to silver, and then to nitkel. But may I ask where will you find so many large and small lakes and rivers, teeming with trout and other fish, than from Poreupine south to Sudbury. Just examine the map and see how thick they are west of the Montreal river. Then look east of that river and see how few there are. Besides, on the west are several high mountains, St. Clair and Mount Collins. In fact, the whole length is a mass of ecrand seenery, and that is a mass of grand scenery, and that is what our American friends come to see, and also to camp and fish, and they will find no better place than from Timmins to Sudbury. "This road will easily pay for itâ€" self. That‘s sure. There is all sorts of pulp timber at the headquarters of the Montreal river that could be sold and the money used to put the Poreuâ€" pineâ€"Elk Lake section in shape. That would be better than seeing all this timber get burned, which might easily happen. _ Such did happen west of Matheson when the discoveries of Porcupine gold urged the Government to build the T. N.O. straight west to Nighthawk, and at Nighthawk there was a lot of tie timber that could have been saved. ©Think this over, as threeâ€"quarters is now to be used by autos. Why not finish the other quarter, which is by far the best quarter of all!l Every mile is mineral land, and has ten times as many lakes and rivers in it as any other part has.‘"‘ With the roads built as proposed, the claims and prospectors would soon pile up the money along this road. If it were to be put in right hands when building it should not cost only one half what the same length would in Old or Southern Onâ€" tario. â€" There is sand, gravel, clay, rock and timber, all along the route owned by the Government, and everyâ€" thing to make a firstâ€"class route. Information from Boston Creek gives the interesting news that the (Gold Hill Mines, Limited, has started its new electricallyâ€"driven plant, and it is confidently expected now that a bis increase in operations will follow. The present plant has a much greater capacity. than the old steamâ€"driven one and is ample to develop the mine to a depth of 1,500 feet. _ A new headframe hbhad to be built, and this is about 70 feet in height. It is conâ€" structed in such a way that direct conâ€" nection can be made with the mill, which is to be built at onee. A big increase in underground operations will be apparent now.> The shaft is to be continued from the 800â€"foot level to the 1,500 and stations will be cut at distances of 100 feet. Lateral work will also be carried out on seyâ€" eral levels, likely the 400, 600 and 800. No levels have been fully deâ€" veloped so far, most of the work beâ€" ing on the 300 and 800â€"foot levels. The new mill, which is to have a capaâ€" city of 100 tons a day, will be fed from development. _ It is hoped to have the mill runninig in May, providâ€" ing the machinery is delivered in reaâ€" sonable time. The mill is being built to the west and close to the shafit.

Dr. Mackintosh Bell‘s Inspiring Address to Empire Club, Toronto At the Empire Club, Toronto, last week Dr. J. Mackintosh Bell, O.B.E., Ph. D., LL.D., delivered an inspiring address that will be long rememberâ€" ed and undoubtedly will have more than passing effect. Dr. Bell deserbâ€" ed in glowing terms the present sucâ€" cess of the mining industry in Canada, and expressed in mo uncertain terms his faith in Canmada‘s potential minâ€" eral wealth and his confidence that before long imereased financial supâ€" port and coâ€"operatton would be forthâ€" coming from Great and the rest of the Empire. Dr. Bell‘s address was greeted with recurring applause, special cheering following his stateâ€" ment that Canadians themselves deâ€" rived the greated financial benefit from their own mineral resources. He pointed out that 54 per cent. of the shareholders in Canadian mines were Canadians; 30 per cent. Americans; 13 per cent. British and 3 per cent. in other countries. Dr. Bell, who is the managing diâ€" rector of the Vipond Consolidated and other mines, and who has taken a leading part in the developmant of the North Land miuning industry, made a very special inpression upon his Toâ€" ronto audience. _ The effecet of his address will undoubtedly be imporâ€" tant and valuable. In reporting the address, The Toronto Globe said :â€"â€" ‘‘Dr. Bell is recognized as one of the leading mining experts in the Dominâ€" ion â€" He is well known as a geologust and mining engineer, having held 1imâ€" poramit positions in that work for many years. At present he is Manâ€" aging Director of several companies operating some of the largest and richest mines in Ontario.‘‘ . Other Toronto newspapers referred to him in similar terms. In his address Dr. Bell pictured Caâ€" nada‘s mineral resurces as nmnvalling even agriculture and forest wealth. Pointing out that mineral output had rajpidly grown from $10,000,000 in 1886 to $225,000,000 in 1925, he saad that Canada had the largest single per capits production in the world, while she ranked as the third largest gold producer in the world, the Transvaal and the United States ranking first and second, respectively. He gave the total mimeral output of Ontario, which he classed as the greatest mineralâ€"producing Province in the Dominion, as $1,000,000,000 up to the end of 1925, while he estimated the production for 1926 at about $61,â€" 000,000, $31,000,000 which would be gold. Exp]dmmw that the mining area of Outario was almost entirely ~within a preâ€"Cambrian rock region he said that while that region was not inâ€" exhaustible, nev ertheless not more than 15 or 20 per cent. of the preâ€" Cambrian rock had ‘been prospected. *The indications of various minerâ€" als are extraordinarily widespread but, inevitably and naturally, the concenâ€" trations which are of economic imporâ€" tance are no less restricted,"‘ he said. No one can say how many new Coâ€" balts, new Poreupines or new Kirkâ€" land Lakes may be found, but we can confidenitly expeu’r great de\ elopments from time to time, which will play an important role in the future of the country."! : In referring to the percentages of Camadian, British, United States and other capital invested in Canadian mines, Dr. Bell regretted that British capital was playing such a small part in the Canadian mining industry, but he pointed out that they might have become discouraged, since the British people had seldom had a chance at Canada‘s biggest things. _ However, he samid that there were real signs of increasing interest in Great Britain and he thought that they were realizâ€" ing, that despite some imevitable fiasâ€" cos, the Canadian mines were making vast strides. â€" Hon. Charles McCrea, Minister of Mines, in a brief address, expressed the thanks of the Empire COlub to Dr. Bell. equipped in such a way as to take caro of sinking operations to still deeper horizons. _ The outcome of this exâ€" ploration will have a vital bearing on the dest‘ny of Dome."‘ NA ow U predd fnr business and Stcam Heated SBuest Dining Room in Townâ€"Meals \ Recreation Hall * gCHUMACHER _at all Hours.
