E. Godson following the royal commission investigating the Hollinger disaster and studying ways and means to make the mining indusâ€" try as free as humanly possible from risks and dangers of any kind. The amendments as made in 1929 have not been considered practical or desirable in some particulars by the Ontario Mining®: Association. Following a disâ€" cussicon of the amendments as made in 1929 the Ontario Mining Association ’, appointed a committe to coâ€"operate !with the Government in drawing u0 regulations that while achieving the purposes desired would still be pracâ€" tical and acceptable to the industry. The mine managers were anxious to have all possible safety regulations and safeguards, but naturally wished these in such form as would not injure the industry or prove unduly burdensome in practice. Following and study it is understood that a new act has been prepared that .embodies the: required safety regulations. This new. act will be known as the "Ontario Minâ€" ing Act, 1930," and will be introduced at the next session of the legislature and if found acceptable will be du‘ly incorporated in the statutes of the proâ€" Act to be Submitted to Next Session of Legislature Will Incorporate Sugâ€" gestions of His Honour Judge ROPOSED AMENDMENTS T0 ACT 0F ontaRio ‘ PHONE 112 Residence PHONE 135 ed or maintained on any mining proâ€" perty except with the written permisâ€" sion of an inspector nor until the site and style of the magazine has been apâ€" proved of by him.

Subsection 1, Section 163, providing that managers superintendents, mine captains and shift bosses and "every person in charge of workmen, exploâ€" sives, machinery or electrical apparaâ€" tus" must know such of the rules as affect or relate to the work in which they are engaged, again appears in the new Act in the same form as in the original ‘ mining Act, although this clause was not contained in Bill 70, as the Mining Act of 1929 was known. The proposal to require persons emâ€" ployed underground as foremen, mins captains, shift bosses, trammer bosses, level bosses, chute blasters and motorâ€" men to hold certificates from the Mines Inspection branch stating that he is familiar with the portions of the Minâ€" ing Act applying to his work and is able to give orders or instructions in the English language, has been dropâ€" ped. â€"A new regulation has been inâ€" serted, however as follows: stations are to be provided by Woerkmen‘s Compentation Board from assessments in the mining industry upon the requisition of the Chief Inâ€"~ spector of Mines.

Regulation 55 in Bill 70, relating to use of electricity in firing shots has been amended as follows "(a) Electriâ€" city from lighting or power cables shall not be used for firing shots except when a special firing device which automaâ€" tically opens the circuit by gravity is (c) The rules with reference to the care and use of explosives shall be kept posted up inside the magazine.‘" (b) Every such magazine shall be constructed of materials to ensure, as far as possible, against accident from any cause.

Word this week from Cobalt is to the effect that still another of its prominâ€" ent citizens will shcortly be lsaving the town in the course of the next few days, in the person of Roy C.

At the same time more than ’one of the gold stocks is paying a diviâ€" _dend whichâ€"is in excess of 10 p.c. on the present market valuation of the stock, a condition which renders these issues singularly attractive. Such a ‘situation as the present has been seen in past years, and is a matter of hisâ€" tory that mining stocks are bound to adjust themselves to a level in keeping with earnings and dividends sooner or later." In a recent interview with a Toronâ€" to newspaper Capt. Roy Brown, noted airman and president of the General Airways, Limited, of Amos, Quebec, says that opening up the North Land by air Airways Now Opening Up Tourists‘ Paradise Here "Encouraging as the increase of our mineral production is, the failure of the mining market to respond to the apâ€" parent progress of the industry has been a source of consideraple disap â€" pointment. It is particularly noticeâ€" able that while the gold stocks have followed an almost general downward course this year, the production of gold in Ontario showed an increase of apâ€" proximately $778,000 during the first eight months of this year over the same period of 1928. Similarly while the output of other metals has been inâ€" creasing the stocks of these companies have been unresponsive. . "Not only in Ontario but throughout all of Canada is mineral production showing a substantial increase over previous years. This fact is borne out by recent official figures issued by both the Provincial and Dominion governâ€" ments, and indications are that 1929 will prove to be a record year as far as the mining industry is concerned. The total mineral production of Ontario inâ€" cluding both metallic and nonâ€"metalic materials, amounted to $55,498,161 durâ€" ing the first six months of this year, as compared with $50,218,910 for the corâ€" responding period of 1928. Of the forâ€" mer figure of $39,996,164 was made up of metals, both precious and base which compares with $34,088,841 for the first six months of last year. Gold, silver, copper and nickel all showed healthy increases for the first half of the year, and with expansions in every direction in the offing, still further increases are anticipated.
