ULimited Timmins, Economical Transportation OVER FORTYâ€"TWO SQUARE MILES STAKED IN NEW FIELD Over fortyâ€"two square miles have been staked out solidly in the new Shoniah Lake gold area. The mining claims are staked for a straight length of some fourteen miles in all, and the average width of the staking is a little better than three miles, The first claim was not recorded until just aâ€" bout the time the winter was setting in, but the records of the department now show that close to fifty square miles have been‘staked out, nearly 45 square miles being recorded, of this about 43 to 46 miles being in a practicâ€" ally solid block. In commenting on the staking. and recording a writer in The Mail and Empire says that the frequency with which goldâ€"bearing veins have been discovered despite winter conditions is a feature . Veins appear to have an average width of around four to twenty feet. Four ;such deposits have been discovered on the Smithâ€" Watson and in each case the veins pan gold. This is a condition which is beâ€" lieved likely to cause very extensive activity as soon as the snow disapâ€" pears in the spring, and is a condition more closely resembling the early acâ€" tivity in the Porcupine district than has any other new gold mining Aarea since that time. The same writer notes that it was one of the peculiarities of the original section of the Red Lake district that the occurrence of quartz veins were scarce. This helped ‘to discourage general work, to the end that apart from the Howey and a few neighbourâ€" ing properties there was not much actâ€" tivity following the original staking boom. At Shoriah Lake, the opposite is the case, and unless all signs fail, the coming summer will witness acâ€" tivity on an extremely. broad scale. There is scarcely a group of claims reâ€" corded at Shoniah on which interestâ€" ing discoveries were not made merely during the course of staking out the claims. Each of such discoveries proâ€" vide inducement to erect camps and go to work in search for gold. Not onâ€" ly this, but a number of gold discoverâ€" ies were also made during the course of stakingâ€"a fact which has fired claimâ€"holders with more than usual enthusiasm. Vancouver Province:â€"And now the question arises:â€"Has Canada learned the lesson of the last railwayâ€"building area? Has the folly of constructing duplicate lines been burned into her consciousness by her past experience, or must she go through the fire again? If she has learned her lesson, she will see that in the new development the ambiâ€" tions of railway executives are controllâ€" ed, and that duplication and wasteful competition are reduced to a minimum. If she fails in this, without a doubt, she will have to pay again. Ontario T0 PREVENT EXHAUSTION OF QNTARIO‘S TIMBER SUPPLIES Two Bills Introduced by Hon. Wm. Finâ€" layson at Present Session of Onâ€" tario Legislature In an editorial article last week The Toronto Mail and Empire said:â€" Two bills that Hon. William Finlayâ€" son, Minister of Lands and Forests, has introduced in the Legislative Assembly will be welcomed by advocates of measâ€" ures to perpetuate the valuable forest resources of Ontario. One of these bills would authorize the Governfnent to establish provincial foréests in Eastâ€" ern Ontario and along Georgian Bay, takfng in the Temagami Reserve, and to place those forests on a sustained yield basis. The other bill, entitled a "Puipwood Supply Act," would require pulp and paper companies to furnisn the Government with information and suggestions that would be of assistance to the Government in the formulation of a plan for placing the pulpwood forâ€" ests on a sustained yield basis within a reasonable period, 3 Mr. Finlayson has on more than one occasion asserted that measures to preâ€" vent exhaustion of timber supplies in Ontario and to have timber treated as a crop were desirable. He has not been alone in holding that view. Hon. Charles Stewart, the Dominion Minisâ€" ter of the Interior, in a recently pubâ€" lished review of the operations of Canâ€" ada‘s forest industries in 1928, declared "the time has come for a national stockâ€"taking of our forest resources, and a review of our forestâ€"management policies." More than four years ago Royal Commission on Pulpwood apâ€" pointed by the Dominion Government, discussed the depletion of timber supâ€" plies in Ontario. The original stand of white and red pine in the province, the Commission reported, was estimatâ€" ed to have contained some 45 billion feet, board measure, of timber. That stand had been reduced by 1924 to some eight billion feet. _ "For only a few years," reported the Commission, "may we expect the supplies of mature pine timber to last at the present rate of consumption." In so far as spruce and balsam supplies were concerned, the royal Commission calculated that the annual useful consumption of the wood of those species of trees was about equal to the net natural increment. While that was so, the aggregate of losses of spruce and balsam each year through forest fires and through insect and fungoid parasites was much higher than the amount annually consumea for useful purposes and also much greater than annual natural increment. Consequently, the Commission predictâ€" ed that, without having regard to a probable increase in consumption, the net annual wastage through all factors of depletion would result in a reduction in supplies at a much more rapid rate than that indicated by the simple diviâ€" sion of the amount of timber annually used into the amount of the total availâ€" able stand. | Such warnings show the importance of the bills that Mr. Finlayson has submitted to the Legislature. By one bill he would have the Government emâ€" powered to plant forests on lands that bore forests in the past and that are unsuited for agriculture, and so to add to the supplies of timber that will be available for use in the future. By the operation of both bills he seeks to seâ€" cure knowledge on which to base a policy that will perpetuate the forest resources of the Province and so ensure the permanence of the industries, such as the pulp and paper industry and the woodâ€"working industries, founded on those resources. Such a policy would not merely benefit the industries diâ€" rectly affected by it but would contriâ€" bute to the prosperity of the Province as a whole in the future. MINISTER DID NOT LOSE BET WITH VERY GOOD GRACE The Toronto Mail and in an editorial note saysâ€"A Bapti.t preachâ€" er incautiously offered $10 to any man who could hold up his hard and say that he had never told is lie. The money was promptly claimed, but the claimant admitted later that he had told several lies. Now the Baptist preacher is trying to console himself with the thought that when the man is "damned and in hell that his $10 will burn a hole in his conscience." In such circumstances, we should not think one hole more or less would be noticed. BROKE HUSTLER WILL BE MUCH MISSED IN DISTRICH The Northern News, of Kirkland Lake, last week says:â€""With the cessaâ€" tion of the publication of The Broke Hustler we shall miss one of the most welcome of our weekly exchanges. There was always something of general interest in the Hustler although it was primarily intended for the reading of the residents of TIroquois Falls. With its first issue appearing on August 25th, 1917, The Hustler had attained the reâ€" spectable age of nearly 114 years. Ownâ€" ed by the Abitibi Power Paper Comâ€" pany, Limited, this lively little newsâ€" paper has seen the development of Iroquons from practically nothing to hustling little town, and has witnessed the Abitibi mill double itself in size and importance.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO SOME MISSING CHANCES ON THE ROAD WORK In an editorial article last week The Haileyburian discusses the working out of the plan to help those suffering crop losses in Temiskaming. Accordâ€" ing to The Haileyburian, the ones needâ€" ing the work most have not taken adâ€" vantage of the opportunity as well as they might. Also, the Haileybury paper suggests that some lost their crops partly through their own lack of enâ€" ergy and attention. The Advance does not know how true these ideas may be in regard to the Haileybury area. Cerâ€" tainly in a broad way they are not true of the district around Timmins. In this district every settler, with a rare exception did everything possible to save as much of his crop as possible last year, and those who suffered from the season grasped at the opportunity offered by the road work to help themâ€" selves along this winter. There may have been an odd exception that provâ€" ed the rule that the settlers were doâ€" ing the best they could to get along. So what The Haileyburian says referrâ€" ed the southeren or central section of Temiskaming does not apply here. The Haileyburian editorial follows:â€" Gravelling Operations Not Benefitting Men Needing the Work Most, Claims Haileybury Paper. "While there has been a great deal of work done on the roads throughout the district this winter as a measure of relief for the settlers who lost their crops through the extremely wet season of last year it has not always fallen to the lot of the worst sufferers to reap the greatest benefit from the employâ€" ment provided by the government through the Northern Development Deâ€" partment. Perhaps it is only another instance of the frailties of human naâ€" ture but the fact remains that in the majority of cases, according to one of the overseers in charge of the work. The first men to take advantage of the opportunity to earn a few dollars are those who, by hard work and by using all means in their power, were able to save at least a portion of their crops. The heavy losers were the slowâ€" est to come forward when the chance was theirs to make some money by hauling gravel for the road operations. "From repeated experiences this road overseer, a pioneer himself, has come to the conclusion that the weather canâ€" not be blamed entirely for the loss of hundreds of acres of crops in the disâ€" trict last year. He is convinced that the man who is always prepared to harvest his hay or grain when the opâ€" portunity offers will seldom if ever, find that his work goes for nothing. other words the "seedâ€"time and har> vest‘‘ promised in the beginning by the Giver of all good is still here for those who have the right idea and who are ready to seize their opportunities. "When the road work started, the farmers who are making a success of farming in the North Country, were right on the job. In almost every case the man who spent the autumn bewailâ€" ing the loss of his crops was not preâ€" pared to start work when the time came. His horses were not shod, his sleighs were not ready, or the price allowed per yard for the hauling was too low, in his opinion. He usually lost a few days on the start, found it difficult to keep his end up with the others and generally failed to take full advantage of "the opportunity offered. "That the District ‘of Temiskaming offers exceptional opportunities for the settler has long been recognized. That it is bound to suffer at times from an off season is nothing more than is exâ€" perienced in every section of every country and that the man who is wide awake and has the proper perspective can make good is beyond question. The partial failure of the crop last year will not give the North Country any serious setback, but will probably prove blessâ€" ing in disguise to many who have learned anvther lesson in pioneering" A special despatch from Toronto apâ€" pearing in many outside newspapers may perhaps be of interest here with | the comment that the gentleman in question should be said to "hail from Cobalt," rather than from Porcupine. The Porcupine seeks no honours rightly due to Cobalt. The despatch last week read as follows:â€" George McGale took a pair of boots. "He put his foot in it this time," said | crown prosecutor Murphy, when George appeared in court today. I "PUTTING THE BOOTS" TO ONE LAD FROM THE NORTH LAND The accused said he was hungry. "You can‘t eat boots, they‘ve got nails in the soles," was the Crown‘s symâ€" pathtic rejoiner. McGale hails from Porcupine. "You‘d better go back or you‘ll get some quills in you here," warned the magistrate as he let him go. The Northern News, of Kirkland Lake, last weeks says:â€"*"Fire destroyed the home of Mrs. Rosa Brown, at Swasâ€" tika, on FPriday last, during the noon hour. While the walls, roof and floor of the house are still standing they are very badly scorched and all the contents were destroyed. A rough estimate of the damage placed it around $2,000. Owing to the failure of the fire alarm system it was found necessary to call the firemen individiyally and, as a result, it was nearly ten minutes after the fire broke out before the department reachâ€" ed the scene. The blaze which is beâ€" lieved to be caused by an overheated stoveâ€"pipe, broke out about 12.10 noon, and the flames spread with great rapâ€" idity, so that when the firemen arrivâ€" ed the interior of the building was a roaring furnate."
