REVIEW OF GROWTH OF ~winng in sixty Yeans Mining Now the Third Industry in Importance in the Dominion of ‘Among the articles by the National Committee for the Celebration of the Jubilée of Confederation, there is one reviewing the growth of mining :â€" ‘*During the latter part of the nineâ€" teenth century and the first part of the twentieth century romance and adventure in Canada have been those associated mainly with prospecting and mining. The early discoveries of gold and silver in Nova Scotia, Quebec: and parts of Ontario did not create any great amount of excitement, and results, as compared with present day. output, were unimportant. â€" Following the great gold rushes of Australia and California, came that of British Colâ€" umbia in 1858 and subsequently that following the more momentous discovâ€" eries in the tributaries of the Fraser River in ‘Cariboo. Subsequent minor excitement occurred over finds in Omineca, Cassiar and in 1889 in Atlin. Cariboo alone has yielded about $60,â€" 000,000,of placer gold and B.C. altoâ€" gether between $75,000,000 and $80,â€" 000,000.. Perhaps the richest discovâ€" ‘eries ever made were in Yukon, beginâ€" ning in 1896, and nothing since the Australian excitement so stirred the imagination of the Englishâ€"speaking world. Dawson, the centre of the disâ€" trict, and well within the Arctic Circle became a modern city of thousands of inhabitants, with all the conveniences and highlights of a cosmopolitan cenâ€" tre. The glory of placer mining, subâ€" ject to possible new discaveries, with all its romance, adventure, hardships, its high hopes and its many tragedies, is now a thing of the past. , : "It was in the way of adventure, coupled with a good deal of chance, that the nickelâ€"copper mines of Sudâ€" bury, the silverâ€"cobalt mines of the Cobalt district, the rich gold fields of Porcupine and Kirkland Lake, the copperâ€"gold at Rouyn, the discoveries at Pas, the coal in Crowsnest Pass, and the many great finds of: copperâ€" gold, silver, lead, and zinc mines in Southern British Columbia, on Vanâ€" couver Island, at Anyox, at Stewart and in Atlin in B.C., have been made possible., The prospector is now bringing to his aid science, being inâ€" structed ‘by mining experts, antomoâ€" bilesâ€"in addition to oldâ€"fashioned dog sleds, horses and canoes,â€"and aeroplanes.. Hé has also radio. and wireless to assist. The capitalist is now using diamond drills to determinc the depth and extent of his ore and the latest and most economical proâ€" cesses for treating it, making it posâ€" sible. to utilize profitably large bodles of very lowâ€"grade quality. In these ways during the last ten years the area of, exploited mineralized territory has been tremendously increased and the output proportionately so. Inciâ€" dentally, Nova Scotia leads in the production of coal, Quebec in asbes‘ tos, Ontario in gold, silver and nickel, and British Columbia in copper, Jead and zine. Incidentally, too, mining is now the third industry in importâ€" ance in Canada, and the story of its development since, especidally, 1885 the most interesting in our industrial annals. â€" Canada‘s future as to the extents of its mines is problematical, but we have reason to conjecture thait it is only on the verge of its possibiliâ€" Althnnzh Operations for Year Show a Loss, Near Dome is / Making Promud Show The first annual report of the Arâ€" gonaut Consolidated Mines, Limited, was issued%ast week. _ The property is in the townships of Gauthier and McVittie and is reached from Argoâ€" naut station on the Nipissing Central Railway. Access â€"to the property usâ€" ‘ed to be chiefly from Dane on the T. N.O. main line. The Argonaut is located near the south end of Beaverâ€" house Lake. WDhe first annual report is perhaps not as satisfactory as some of the shareholders may have ‘hoped, (but still it shows progress being made in the establishment of a mine that is confidently hoped will eventually make adequate returns to the shareâ€" holders. The property is at present passing through its testing time and if operations are carried along with the success of recent times it will no. doubt make good. «_ . | The report covers the calendar year, 1926, and shows total recovery of $181,061, or an average of $5.2744 per ton. Total costs during the period, including development, amounted to $339,721, or $9.68 per ton, indicating a loss for the year of $158,660. Of this, khowever, $109,014 was expended. in development, in addition to $106,â€" 958 for mining costs. Directors adâ€" vanced $51,700 to the company against promissory notes, in order to carry on work. The ibalance sheet shows liquid asâ€" sets amounting to $78,317, in addition to shares in Lavalâ€"Quebee Mines (1,â€" 400,000) and La Mine d‘Or Huronia (82,030 shares), which are given a value in the satement of $720,000. Depreciation +reserve ‘amounts â€" to $101,792 and deferred assets to $35,â€" 175. Development after deduction of production is charged up on the assets side at $972,656. Among liabilities are current ligbilities of. $72,244, which practically equals current liaâ€" bilities, leaving about $4,000 net workâ€" ing capital. J. H. Rainville, president, states that bonds to the amount of $458,400 were outstanding against the company and all the Lavalâ€"Quebec shares ownâ€" ed by the company were deposited in trust with the Montreal Trust.Co. to guarantee the payment of said bonds. To date a small amount of shares have been sold at a substantial price. This has engabled the directors to purâ€" chase in the open market $166,000 worth of bonds, thus leaving bonds outstanding. to the amount of $292,â€" 4002‘ _ > With regard to development work, Mr. Rainville said : ‘‘We have during the year directed all our efforts toâ€" ward deepening the mine. The 875 and 1,000â€"foot levels have proven the theory of better mineralization at depth. However, the tonnage at all times could not provide more than mill feed, thus forcing us to use difâ€" ferent grades of ore and consequently lower our average of returns. Thereâ€" fore our loss for the twelve months under review was unavoidable, alâ€" though we have operated at a profit during a period of four months. Alâ€" though results to date are not of a profitable mature we are comfident that Argonaut is capable of developâ€" ing into a paying property. For this reason we have undertaken to sink two more levels, 1,125 and 1,250, folâ€" lowing successful diamond drill exâ€" ploration.‘‘ Mr. J. A. Naud, the general manaâ€" ger, in a letter to the shareholders, says that, since the report to press, the directors have been fortunate in making definite arrangements whereâ€" by, following approval to raise the capitalization of the company to 5,â€" 000,000 shares, the treasury will reâ€" ceive $350,000 from the proceeds of the sale_of part of the additional capiâ€" tal. Every shareholder will be offerâ€" ed the right to subscribe at the rate of 30c. per share and for one share to three shares already held. This will call for the issuing of 1,666,667 shares, leaving 333,333 shares unissuâ€" ed in the treasury of the company. The right to subscribe will be good until July 20th, 1927. In the meanâ€" time, the ‘total issue of 1,666,667 shares has ibeen sold to a strong finâ€" ancial syndicate and they obligated themselves to take the whole issue or whatever is left of itâ€"at the net price of 30ecâ€"with the provision that shareâ€" holder have the preference in taking their allotment. With the money at disposition the directors will then unâ€" dertake to open the mine to a depth ‘of 2,000 feet and make the necessary preparations for protection on a largâ€" preparations for production on aA larger scaile. l the t ocA stt .t ww mE t man named O‘Connell is soliciting subscriptions for The Legionary, the official paper of the Legion, without. authority to do so from the command The Advance notes in some of the local newspapers of the North Land, including The Haileyburian, that branches of the Canadian Legion have received notice to the effect thata HAS NO AUTHORITY TO SsOLICIT SUBSCRIPTIONS for this district. : other canvassers here taking donaâ€" tions caused a certain amount of quesâ€" tioning, and The Advance suggested that in all such cases it would be well to consult the officers of the. loeal branch of the Legion before paying out any money. It would be still better to save all donations for the local branch. If for any reason it is desired to contribute to some outside cause in connection with the Legion this. also could be done through the local branch. . In this way there would be assm"*ce that the money would all reach the cause for which it was inâ€" tended. Anyone canvassing for funds for the Legion, or for any other cause with local representation, should be fortified with written endorsation from the local officers, or, better still, should have one/of the local men go around to introduce the outside canâ€" vasser. The Legion, like every other growing concern, has attracted people who are inclined to trade on the name of the association with a view to seâ€" curing money for their own ends. It is best to be on the safe side, and to restrict all contributions to causes reâ€" presented locally by the local branches.
