The three principal divisions, gold, silverâ€"cobalt and nickelâ€"copper mining are deserving of special comment. Gold mining, despite important gains by the Teckâ€"Hughes and Lake Shore, has shown a slight decrease due to the curtailed operations at the Hollinger mine where the grade of ore and tonâ€" nage milled fell off during the period. Further details will be found under the heading "gold." The production of silver has continued to decline, due principally to the depletion of the mines, and, although considerably less in quantity than in 1927, production from present mines will continue for a number of years. Not since 1918, the year of maximum warâ€"time proâ€" duction, has the nickelâ€"copper indusâ€" try shown such progress, as in the curâ€" rent year. Returns and estimates issued this week by the Ontario Department of Mines show that Ontario‘s mineral outâ€" put for this year, 1928, is expected to total $100,000,000. The total producâ€" tion for 1927 amounted to $90,283,447. Values of metalliferous output from mines of the Province for the nine minths ended Sept. 30 amounted to $50,675,310, an increase of $4,756,197, or 10.3 per cent. over the corresponding period of the previous year. It is exâ€" pected that metals will provide $69,â€" 000,000 of the estimated total for the current year. The metal mining inâ€" dustry has experienced a particularly encouraging year. A large metallic output, together with an average proâ€" duction of nonâ€"metallics and a markâ€" ed increase in the building and conâ€" struction industries, indicate a subâ€" stantial increase in the total producâ€" tion this year.

In the nickelâ€"copper industry at Sudâ€" bury the outstanding development was that at the Frood and Frood Extension mines by the International Nickel Company of Canada and the Mona Nickel Company, respectively. Here has been developed a very large deâ€" posit of copperâ€"nickel ore carrying imâ€" portant quantities of precious metals, including platinum metals, gold and silver, The mass of ore, which on the upper levels carries from 4 to § per cent. of nickel and copper combined, runs much higher in copper at the lower horizons, and from diamond drill cores shows as high as 20 per cent. copper. Shafts on both properâ€" ties have reached a depth of over 3,â€" 000 feet, and lateral development is proceeding. At Copper Cliff a new smelter unit, with stack over 500 feet in height, is under construction, a reâ€" sult of developing the Frood ore body. Expansion is planned at the Coniston plant of the Mond Company. Unâ€" doubtedly the economic handling of this immense deposit would be imâ€" proved by an amalgamation of the Mond and International companies as mooted in the press. At the Internaâ€" tional refinery at Port Colborne the second and third refinery units are being constructed with a view to inâ€" creasing the output of electrolytic nicâ€" kel and copper. The Falconbridge, Mond Nickel and Foy Offset nickelâ€" During the period nine properties at Porcupine and ten at Kirkland Lake were active, the tctal tonnage milled being 3,142,272 tons as against 3,172,398 tons in 1927, notwithstanding a deâ€" crease of 299,862 tons by the Hollinger. period was 1,146,888 fine ounces valued at $23,708,312 as against 1,165,044 fine ounces worth $24,081,275 in the corresâ€" ponding period of 1927, or a decrease of $372,963 in value. This falling off, however, does not indicate any recesâ€" sion of the gold mining industry. The setback may be entirely accounted for by the lowering of the tonnage milled at the Hollinger and also to a loss in milling time due to a disastrous fire in February. In the same area the Mcâ€" Intyre and Dome mines have continuâ€" ed to operate steadily at normal capaâ€" city. Offsetting this condition, was the remarkable increase in production at Kirkland Lake. In this area two properties, the Teckâ€"Hughes and the Lake Shore, increased their combined output by over 50 per cent. or from $4,220,078 in the first nine months of 1927 to $6,476,903 for the correspondâ€" ing period of 1928, the Wrightâ€"Harâ€" greaves, Sylvanite and Kirkland Lake Gold maintaining their normal rate of production. The production of silver fell off conâ€"| siderably during the period, but the deâ€"| | crease is more apparent than real,.| since the figures for silver productlon are based as nearly as possible on the' sales of silver in the bullion form.| While the largest bullion showed decreases in bullion output, the| silver contained in exported materiai; was considerably higher.

Expansion has taken place in every department of the nickelâ€"copper inâ€" dustry; in ore raised, ore smelted, also in matter produced, refined and exportâ€" ed. Profits have increased and diviâ€" dends have been correspondingly greatâ€" er. The new and everâ€"expanding uses of nickel coupled with a steady rise in the price of copper have had their effect, with the result that the future for Ontario‘s nickelâ€"copper industry would appear to be bright. Attorneyâ€"General Price, it is underâ€" stowud, is conducting a governmental investigation into the circums§tances surrounding the recent slump in the stock of the Jacksonâ€"Manion Mines. The slump in Jacksonâ€"Manion was one of the most spectacular fluctuations in mining stock this year. In a days the stock dropped from 90 cents per share to 17 cents. There were all sorts of stories going around one way and another in regard to the stock and after the apparently official statements given out the drop of the stock causâ€" ed much comment and well as conâ€" siderable cursing. Dr. R. J. Manion, M.P., of Fort William, who is one of the directors of the Jacksonâ€"Manion, has written suggesting an investigaâ€" tion of the case. His claim is that the directors are as badly in need of authoritive information as anyone else, He suggests that some of the direcâ€" tors stand to lose heavily unless there is a change in regard to the matter. In the meantime, the Attorneyâ€"Genâ€" eral has sent out a questionnaire to Toronto brokers, asking them to reâ€" port on all transactions in Jacksonâ€" Manion executed by them between Oct. 1st and Nov. 20th. The Sudbury Star last week says:â€" "Missing for eight days in the vicinity of Cameron Lake, south west of Verâ€" milion Lake, it is feared that Mrs. I. Samaski is either drowned or has perâ€" ished in the bush from exposure. An active search is being conducted for the woman by residents of the vicinity under the direction of Sergeant R. Knight, of the Provincial Police who is at the scene. Mrs. Samaski is beâ€" lieved to have crossed Cameron Lake in a canoe but only meagre details concerning her disappearance are known." ATTORNEYâ€"GENERAL MAKES ENQUIRY ABOUT STOCK A lastâ€"minute sale of Christmas gifts will be held in the basement of the United Church on Saturday, Dec. 15th, at 3 pm., under the auspices of the Girls‘ Club.

While en route from Fort Churchâ€" ill, where they had worked during the summer for the Department of Railâ€" ways and Canals to the end of stecl, where they were to have entrained for their winter homes, the men became lost on the trail which for 70 miles traverses the barren lands. This was on November 3. Today the men were brought to the end of steel by a trapâ€" per in whose cabin, on the Little Churchill River, they had found shelâ€" ter after wandering across the barrens but with scanty food rations for nine According to press despatches seven men for whom search by air and land proved unsuccessful for 20 days, were found safe on Saturday last, at the end of steel, mile 442, on the Hudâ€" son Bay Railway. His Honour James Arthur Mulligan, senior judge of the Carleton county court, died at his Sudbury residence on Thursday last, aged 67 years. He had been ill more or less for four years past, death following a heart atâ€" tack some four days previously. The late Judge Mulligan was a native of Pembroke, Ont. He had a brilliant career in the law being at one time a partner of Sir. John A. Macdonald. The late Judge Mulligan at one time enjoyed wide reputation as a criminal lawyer, his moving appeals to juries being masterpieces of eloquence. For several years he practised law in Sudâ€" bury. He was elevated to the bench in 1922. He is survived by a widow (formerly Miss Elizabeth Frances Murâ€" ray, of Pembroke) and two daughters and three sons.
