Even the Indians in the Yukon are turning to the use of the airplane in their genâ€" eral business of life. The Indians usâ€" ed to follow their trap lines many miles through the Yukon snow with moceasin and snowshoes as modes of travel. Now they do it by airplane. In the old days the Indians of the Yukon country thought they were travelling in comfort when riding in a sled behind a pack of yelping husâ€" kies and malamutes. Then the rich ones among their number experienced the luxury of automobiles and since then they have found it irksome to travel by dogâ€"team. When the Yukon mail plane left Mayo for Reid Lake, forty miles to the west, recently, two Indians were on board, bound for their trap lines. Beaver and musâ€" krats will pay for the trip. They said that travel by airplane was not only more comfortable than dogâ€"team, but more economical. _ *‘ We get to the trapping country in one hour this way,‘‘ they explained. ‘‘By dogâ€" team it takes four days. Four extraâ€" days of trapping pays the difference.‘ THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, 17IMMINS, ONTARIO HIS LENGTH OF RESIDENCE MINING INOUSTRY RHELPSG~ EVERY LINE DF BUSINESS A graphic picture of the part playâ€" ed by the mining industry in the ecoâ€" nomie system of Ontario and of the effects on commerce and trade proâ€" duced by the great movement of putâ€" chasing power from the jndustry was given to The Northern Miner recently by Hon. Charles MeCrea. He made an angalysis of how the $89,839,569 produced last year by Ontario mines went from the pockets of workmen, dividend holders and coffers of minâ€" ing companies into almost every channel of trade. _ The doctor, the lawyer, the butcher, in fact everybody got a share. Slightly over $30,000,000 was paid in wages. â€" Of this, 16.09 per cent. was spent on rent ; 12.97 per cent. on dairy produce; 11.43 per cent. on clothing; 11.19 per cent. on meats; 9.14 per cent. on fuel and lighting; 7.27 per cent. on bread and cereals; doctors and dentists received 4.76 per cent.; 3.39 per cent. was spent on vegeâ€" tables; 2.98 per cent. on sugar and 2.86 on boots and shoes. _ Of this total $26,000,000, or upwards of 82 per cent., went for the necessaries of life. The remainder was spent on house furnishings, insurance, charity and church and all the other items composed in family expenditure. . Of the $37,115,203 spent on supâ€" plies power took 18.95 per cent; castâ€" ings, liners, machine shop work, 13 per cent.; equipment, 6.45 per cent.; hardware, 448 per cent. and the reâ€" mainder for all miscellaneous requireâ€" ments of the industry. Hon. Chas. McCrea Points Out the Advantages to Trade and Comâ€" merce from Mining [ ‘*‘The Elk Lake correspondent reâ€" ported that there was a rumor to this effect that the dam situated above High Falls, on the Matachewan River, is cracking. Engineers who know the district are somewhat skeptical, howâ€" ever, pointing out that the foundaâ€" tions of the dam are laid on solid granite. If the dam does break, an immense body of water 18 miles in length would be released, runuing considerably more than the length of | Mistinikin Lake. The belated report of the breaking of the Elk Lake Powâ€" er Company‘s dam which occurred last Friday, was also received here today. About 3.30 o‘clock on Friday afternoon, a tremendous body of waâ€" ter engendered in the upper reaches of Bear River which flows into the Montreal River at Elk Lake, carried away the dam. The mass of timâ€" ber, ice and debris, struck the small wooden bridge on Fourth street, a short distance below the dam, and carried it away also. The only other bridge across Bear River, located a mile down stream and almost at the \ mouth of the river, eseaped destrueâ€" tion, thanks to a large eddy below \the small bridge that was carried aâ€" | way, this eddy receiving all the disâ€" | charge from the wrecked structures. \ This bridge was built by the Ontario |\ Government. A foree of volunteers, | directed the passage of portions of | piers and other structures that floated down stream, under the Government bridge. _ The Elk Lake bridge was saved by similar tactiecs. A member | of the volunteer workers, Frank Wesâ€" | eott, Elk Lake, sustained a ‘broken finger during the struggle. Continuing his analysis, he pointed out that Ontario was still the leading agricultural Brovince in the Dominâ€" ion. Like lumbering and fishing, both very important industries in the Province, agriculture was seasonal and made seasonal demands for eredi and manufactured goods. The minâ€" ing industry, he said, would do much to stabilize employment and general business conditions in the province by supplying a yearâ€"round industry with growing needs for men, money and supplies. The government received $2,140,000 for taxation and workmen‘s compenâ€" sation; $18,967,712 was paid out in dividends and in its turn spent on consumption goods or reâ€"invested. is obvious,"‘ the minister deâ€" clared, ‘‘what a quickening in the arteries of commerce is felt from this great movement of purchasing powâ€" THIRTEEN IN ONE BATCH TO THE HAILEYBURY JAIL Thirteen â€" prisoners, the largest batch to be brought in at one time since the institution was opened were added to the population at the district jail in Haileybury last Wednesday evening, says a Cobalt correspondent.

The exception is menâ€" tally affected. Of the others, five had been found guilty of fighting during a freeâ€"forâ€"all in a boarding house, and in which an axe and two knives were used. The remaining seven had various breaches of the Liquor Act chaiked up against them as the result of engaging in a drunken brawl. The aceused, all of whom are Finns or Swedes, are serving terms of from 30 days to three months, imposed upâ€" on them by Magistrate Tucker. _ In addition, a number of others had paid fines.

On Saturday the police were notified and ;t was learned that the girl had boarded the south bound train at New Liskeard, buying a ticket for Monâ€" treal. The condwetor noting that she had no baggage with her, took the liberty of questioning the girl but she told a very plausible story, saying that she was going to Montreal, and explaining that an uncle of hers conâ€" ducted a taxi business in that ecity. For some days the police, the Childâ€" ren‘s Aid and others attempted to find further trace of the girl but it was not until Tuesday that the Montâ€" real police were able to locate her in that cityv.
