WALLACE, Manager Timmins Branch Bond Interest Established 1817 MEN GREATER THAN MINES IN OEVELOPING NORTH Romance Behind the Stock Figures of Buccessful Mining Ventures. That there is more than dollars and cents to the success of North Land mines is clearly indicated by the folâ€" lowing article by Mr. Homer L. Gibâ€" son, who knows the mines of this North and the stories underlying their success. Mr. Gibson writes :â€" ‘"In these days â€"of materialism, I sometimes wonder if the human eleâ€" ment so closely interwoven with the growth and wonderful success of our mines has not been submerged by the very weight of production and diviâ€" "I have mentioned a few of the wellâ€" known exploits calling for great visâ€" ion, great driving power, and greater courage which have materially aided the growth of mining in the North. These aré being repeated constantly in a smaller way perhaps, all through the mining regions. ‘‘One has to go through the mines to get face to face with the physical and moral heights sealed in bringing these mines to their proud position of prominence. One has to hear the quietly told story of risks confidently taken to appreciate the fact that it has taken great men to make our areat mines. In the clear air of the North one is prone to feel that of the two, the men are the greater, that the ticker tape may be the proper standâ€" ard of measurement for the mines but it is quite inadequate to express the measure of the men who made the "Mceintyre is just now completing a 4,150â€"foot shaft, which is costing $2,000,000. _ This is pioneer work and some one‘s theory is going to be put to the test. _ Some one connected with the enterprise had to see a vision of great possibilities at a depth never before plumbed in the North, and some one had to make the momentâ€" ous decision to spend this much of the company‘s funds. There seems little doubt that this, like other well conâ€" ceived and courageously earried out ventures, will succeed, and as usual its very success will overshadow and submerge the human element which conceived it. Tomorrow (Friday) evening the Ladies of the Orient are holding a masquerade dance in the 1.0.0.F. hall. Music by the A.S.D. ochestra. Good prizes. A good time for all.

Here was a case where the money which might have been distributed to shareholders as wellâ€"earned dividends was diverted through the decision of the directors to a ‘‘long shot.""‘ _ If it won, all rightâ€"if it lostâ€"one hesiâ€" tates to think what bitter recriminaâ€" tion there imight have been on the part of disgrunted shareholders. Hughes is pretty much to the fore in investors‘ minds these days. How many of those who figure the stock for possible profits even know that the directors, not so long ago, took a gamble n the mine turning out right, even in the face of apparent failure. ‘Mention Keeley in any stock broker‘s board room and the immediâ€" ate response is that Keeley is producâ€" ing so many thousand ounces of silver monthly, is paying so and so in diviâ€" dends, that that the stock is worth so much. Not a thought for the man who risked his reputation on an intricate geological ‘bet. _ The fact that the gamble won is taken now for granted, but they say Dr. Bell, the father of Keeley, ‘‘sweat blood‘‘ until the disâ€" covery of high grade was made which proved that his theory was right.

Certainly if such is the case, it is quite in line with the moâ€" dern way of reducing all success, all failure, into the impersonal terms of dollars and cents. "We speak of successful mines in terms of production, of dividends, of rising stock market quotationsâ€"all eloquent in their own wayâ€"but while the ticker tape tells of profits, of dividends, it does not reveal the other side, the story of men who risked much to make possible the success so widely acclaimed.

The figures for some of the years are as follows:â€"1915, $19,000 OOO 1919, $15,900,000 ; 192.3 $25,500 OOO ]926, $35,700,000. The Transvaal is the world‘s largâ€" est gold producing area. In 1925 the production of the Rand was $188,000,â€" 000. _ In 1919, it was $189,000,000 ; in 1923 it was $189,100,000; and in the 1926 it was $205,900,000. The United States stands second among the world‘s gold producers. U.S. gold production in 1915 was $101,000,000 : In 1919 it had dropâ€" ped to $60,300,000 and it has been decreasing since until in 1926 it was When Canada‘s gold production is mentioned it should be remembered that nearly 85 per cent. of the Dominâ€" ion‘s production comes from Ontario. Last year Ontario produced gold to the value of $30,900,000. The previâ€" ous year the productlon was $30,200,â€" In view, of the recent statements that Canada will likely take second in the world‘s production of gold this year or next, the figures of gdld proâ€" duction in the wiotld may be of interâ€" est. In recent years 1925 was the world‘s best year for gold production. That year, the total production in the world was gold valued at $468,700,000 In 1919 the production had declinâ€" ed to $365,800,000. In 1923, it was $388,500,000. 000. _ In 1916 it was $8,500,000, which was less than half of the production for the Domininon that year. Speakâ€" ing of Ontario‘s gold production it may be noted that the end of 1926 Ontario‘s output of gold exceeeded that fom the famous Yukon by some $33,000.000. The Yukon may be described as a "‘flash in the pan,‘"‘ while Ontario‘s gold factories now run day and night with increasing production. Just as Ontario supplies the main part of Canada‘s gold, so the Porâ€" cupine provides a large portion of Onâ€" tario‘s production. Poreupine produces over 80 per cent. of the total gold mined in Ontario each year. And over half Ontario‘s gold comes from Hollinger. May twentyâ€"fourth has continued to be a popular holiday for a great many years. To most people in this country it comes along in memory as the first outdoor holiday of the seaâ€" son, particularly devoted to sports and pleasure. In Timmins too often the question has been regretfully askâ€" ed : **Why didn‘t someone get up a day of sports for this holiday?‘‘ Since Dalton‘s Park has been established there has always been a sports day for this holiday, and with good weaâ€" ther the 24th of May is always a very popular oceasion. The 24th of May, 1927, promises to eclipse past years‘ successes at Dalâ€" ton‘s Park, and all «who like horse racing and the other sports and trials of speed will find the programme on May 24th at Dalton‘s Park something to be well worth while. CANADA‘S PLACE IN THE WORLD‘S GOLD PRODUCTION Pleasing Event Announced for Dalâ€" ton‘s Park on The Oldâ€"time Holiday, May 24th, Announcement is made of an attracâ€" tive programme.of sports to be held in Dalton‘s Park, on Tuesday, May 24th. _ The programme will include norse races, beycle races running and other events.

The telephone service of the Temiskaming company was affected to some extermt by the first storm, which swept directly over the town on Monâ€" day evening, and was followed at mldmght Tuesday by one of slightly less severity. No damages was reâ€" ported following its second visitation. The heavy rain which fell has materiâ€" ally helped to free the lakes of i1ce and has proved of service in hastening the departure from the bush of the reâ€" maining snow. _ Locally, two houses were struck on Monday evening, and Mrs. Walter Bellsham, who resides with her sonâ€"inâ€"law, Harry Rodgers, was slightly burned when their house received one bolt. The lightning enâ€" tered the building through the elecâ€" tric wiring system, wrecked the fixâ€" tures downstairs and left the house along the floor, damaging some of the skirting boards in its progress The lightning continued along the wire fence which stretches between the Rodgers‘ home and that oceupied by Allan Jones, entering the latter house. Here it stripped off a thin sliver of wood, about an inch wide, from a dresser, and also removed the hands from a watch lying there. No othe damage was reported.‘‘ The Haileyburian last week says: *‘ Mr. J. W. Myles opened the gardenâ€" ing season this year. so far as is known at present, by planting his early potatoes on Good Friday, April 15th. This appears to be a record for early planting in Haleybury, although it has been the case when there was good gardening weather Jate in the month of April.â€" Last year it was well into May before the weather was good. Mr. Mylés was cleaning up on holiday «and finding the ground dry and mellow, he decided to try a few potatoes as an experiment. Present weather conditions would indicate that many will soon be following his example."" A despatch last week from Cobalt says :â€"â€" PLANTED EARLY POTATOES ON GOOD FRIDAY, APRIL 15 PLANE GOES THROUGH ICE NEAR HAILEYBURY DOCK Mr. and Mrs. Z.
