Here are a few of them;â€"‘"Important Factors," "Advice : to Beginners,‘" "Marshland Raising," "Artificial Aids," ‘"Number :to the Acre," "Enemies," "Breeding Habits," "Polygamous â€" or Monogamous." "Period of Gestation and Litters," "Longevity, Age of Maâ€" turity," ‘Handling," . "Fencing," "Feedâ€" ing," ‘"Pen Raising of Muskrats," "Water Supply," "Breeding," ‘"Trapâ€" ping," "Preparation of Pelts," “Smp-; ping Live Muskrats," "Government Reâ€" gulations," "Experimental Fur Farms," "Muskrat Farms in Dominion," "List of Breeders," "Pelt Production and Prices" â€" In connection with the number of muskrat farms in Canada, it is inâ€" teresting to note that accord'mg to the Domininon Bureau of Statistics, Otâ€" ‘tawa, the number of muskrat farms in operation"in Canada in 1927 was 172, as compared with©107 in 1926. . There werealsoanumberoftoxfarmsand miscellaneous furâ€"bearing animals farms on which muskrats were raised. In 1926 the .estimated number of muskrats on farms was 35,838, with an estimated value of m.aoa in 1927 these, figures lmd grown to 55,390 m ts valued at $127,921.

Seal" in the fur trade comes in for adequate mention and its value as food is also referred to. The necessity for increasing the muskrat resources of the Dominion is dealt with and hints as to how this may be accomplished are given. Canada, owing to climate and other favourable conditions, is particuâ€" larly adapted for the production of high quality muskrats and possesses In the foreword to the booklet it is pointed out that the increased demand for muskrat pelts, the consequent rise in price ofâ€"this popular fur, and the marked decrease in the natural supply, are the main reasons for the developâ€" ment of muskrat farming in Canada to â€"substantial and growing industry. While considerable knowledge relative to the breeding, feeding and care of muskrats has been gained through conâ€" tributions made by pioneers in the busiâ€" ness, there are still many contradicâ€" tions in the results noted, which can only be eliminated by patient and inâ€" telligent observation and scientific inâ€" vestigation. In this connection it is interesting to note a paragraph at the end of the booklet. This paragraph says:â€""The suggestions in the foreâ€" going have been prepared by the Natural Resources Intelligence Service, Department of the Intericr, Ottawa, Canada, from various sources and are believed to be in accordance with the best <practices. Any further suggesâ€" tions, ‘additions or corrections, from persons with experience in muskrat farming will be gladly welcomed by the Service." . That sort of attitude suggests that the enquirer will receive the right sort of attention whether he is looking for information or seeking to give some added help to the_officials. It is the right spirit and may be safely taken as indicating coâ€"operation that will be of special value. The Service does not pretend to know it all, so what they may admit they do know will be worthy of the greatest credence on this account. The booklet shows the value of thei muskrat as a furâ€"bearer and then desâ€" cribes the animal and gives some ide of its principaal features of interest and importance. Its use as "Hudson The Advance in the past has given much publ!ctty to the possible advanâ€" tages to settlers and others in this part ‘of the North in regard to the raising of Chlnchflla *#abbits. A_ booklet on the muskrat as a fur resource reâ€" ceived this week suggests thet, perhaps it would be well for settlers and others to consider the possibilities of muskrat farming, . There are at present several now engaged in mismg’ Chinchilla rabâ€" bits in this district. At least one man in the Connaught area is making a profitable success of the industry. Artâ€" other man in Schumacher, has proved the practicability, the possibility and the profit in raising Chinchilla rabâ€" bits for their fur. Settlers and others would do well to give a thought to the possibility of profit and success from muskrat farming. To consider the question properly they should first send to the Natural Resources Intelligence Service, Department of the Interior, Ontario, for a.copy of the booklet reâ€" ferred to, "The Muskrat, a Canadian Fur Resource."" The material in the booklet, F. C. C. Lynch, director of the service informs The Advance in letter accompanying the booklet, is prepared for the purpose of increasing the proâ€" duction and value of Canada‘s muskâ€" rat resources by making possible a wider knowledge of the essentials neâ€" cessary for the propagation of muskrat under control both in their natural habitat and in pens.

Decline in proâ€" duction figures for September to $301.â€" 184 <as compared with> $316.865 in the previous September and $317,727 in "Early developments in the greenâ€" stones were most encouraging and a feature of the ore was the amount of visible gold it contained. This was folâ€" lowed ~by disappointments as it was found that the greenstone ore bodies as a whole would not yield either the tonnage or grade of the old sedimenâ€" tarytary deposits. While the greenâ€" stones did not develop the tonnage or grade that was expected by the public however from the standpoint of the mine, they were highly important and have proved a real factor in keeping the mine on its present basis. Since the beginning of the year roughly 40 ,per cent. of the ore going into the mill has come from these ore bodies. Although contributing 60 per cent. 'of the ore entering into production and approximately 70 per cent. of its value mining from the sediments is now prinâ€" cipally confined to cleaning out old stopes and removing all backs and sills, some of which are hjgh grade. Anâ€" other year, it is said, will see the upper part of the sedimentary section practiâ€". cally cleaned out. As yet no ore has} been found in the sediments below. the 18th level, which leaves the hope of further continuances of ore resources still more definitely with: the greenâ€" stones where there are strong possibiliâ€" tie> that the ore may be found down to and possibly below the 23rd level. "The Dome mill continues to operate steadily on a production basis of 1,500 "Undoubtedly the most important work going on at the present time in Dome is the exploration of the greenâ€" stone area north of the old sedimentary area for new ore bodies and for extenâ€" sions of the known ore bodies, because, while the remnants of the old sediâ€" mentary ore bodies may continue to supply the bulk of the mill feed for another year, it is realized that hopes of finding anything new or important are pretty well confined to the greenâ€" stone area. Exploratory work both by dgrifting and diamond drilling between the 9th and 23rd levels has not been whelly unproductive of results, it is said. “In this way it has been with Dome a succession of ups and downs. At the mine this week the impression defiâ€" nitely registered that once again vthe trend is upward. "The effect of this encouraging comâ€" bination of circumstances made itself felt immediately in an uprush of public interest and the usual crop of stories appeared about the "high grade‘" charâ€" acter of the new ore in the greenstones. This gave the management its opporâ€" tunity to curb the revival of speculaâ€" tion. which it was feared was threatenâ€" in Dome shares. Budding optimists and their optimism squelched by a straight denial that "highâ€"grade‘"‘ ore bodies existed in the greenstones. About $5 per ton was suggested as the grade to which they would ultimately average. "On top of this unusually liberal forecast came the news from official figures that production for the first half of 1929 had jumped to $2,174,697, which if maintained for the rest of the year would bring the total output for 1929 within striking distance of 1925, which was the mine‘s banner year, with the company paying $2 per share anâ€" nually in dividends and the stock quoted at $18 per share as compared with $1 per share in dividends and curâ€" rent market quotations around $9 per share. newspapers F. E. Loney last week says: «_ "The situation at the end of the year with regard to ore reserves of the Dome Mine ‘will not be appreciably altered "Guessing as to what effect the year‘s developments in the new greenstone area north of the sedimentary basin is likely to have on next year‘s official esâ€" timate of the life of the mine has alâ€" ready started . For years, it is freâ€" quently recalled a limit of two years hung like a "sword of Damocles‘" over Dome affairs, Ore bodies in the Dome were irregular and the values uncertain and the management adopted the conâ€" servative attitude of declining to imaâ€" gine â€" any more ore in the mine than ‘he actually knew was there At last annual meeting however the annual forecast was slightly altered and the management allowed himself to become optimistic to the extent of anâ€" other year, based on thg possibility of continued developments in the stones, and a probable life of three years longer was mooted. from : that of year ago, and by the time the. annual meeting rolls around in all probability the official forecast will be about the same as last year. This assurance, while not issued as an official statement, comes from a source which is thoroughly familiar with developments in the Dome Mine and is also well acquainted with the policy of the Dome management. It may be accepted as particularly signiâ€" ficant in view of the fact that for the past two or three months developments in the greenstones had not been so encouraging as the management had been <led to hope for earlier in the year, and may possibly mean that "a turn for the better‘" is again in sight, Writing under South Porcupine date ne to The Sudbury Star and other James Bav Basin Oil Co. _. _ / Has Good Oil Prospect Pembroke Standardâ€"Observer:â€"Genâ€" uine regret has been felt for the passâ€" ing of the "oldâ€"time fiddler," but there has not yet one come forward to place a wreath upon the tomb of the "callerâ€" August, cannot be taken too seriously as it merely reflects a slight decrease in grade, a common variation in the routine at Dome. Production for the first nine months of 1929 was $3,210,358 asâ€"compared with $2,813,120 for the corâ€" responding period of 1928. Costs conâ€" tinue as low if not lower than last year, so that there is little chance that the financial statement will again show the dividend of $1 per share fully earned with practically another $1 a share added to surplus. With regard to ore reserves, as stated before, while there has been the usual depletion and exâ€" haustion of a certain number of chances of finding new ore, it is beâ€" lieved that developments may prove to be sufficiently satisfactory to show little change from the situation as shown a year ago." > has been‘feoeived at Toronto by D L.Alexandex‘ ngineer for the James Bay Basm OH oompany which is carryâ€" ing out wen-drm.ing' operations on the Grey Goose Islands in the James Bay district, from Field Superint.endent. J. M. Harper, giving reports on the proâ€" gress:. and data on hole No. 1. It is pointed out that the drill is penetratâ€" ing alternating layers of limestone and bie and red shales. The limestone hands at a depth of 200 feet are 33 feet thick and are said to be similar to limestone deposits in other oil fields where successful drilling has been carâ€" ried out. Oil seepages are said to be working in around the drill. The limeâ€" stone and shales were not expected at so shallow a depth and as a conseâ€" quence have delayed work owing to the drillers not having sufficient casing on the site to pipe to any considerable depth. ‘The limestone, which is porous, usually makes good reservoirs for oil accumulations when. on structure, and the impervious shales definitely seal these oil deposits from surface leakage. While the superintendent anticipated penetrating a certain amount of surâ€" face shale underlying limestone, he did not expect to find such wide horizon of promislng structure as the drill log shows. So far as the structure is conâ€" cerned it is extremely gratifying for ehcountering oil deposits at lower depth. A later report from the proâ€" perty has been received to the effect that a big flow of salt water has been struck at approximately 300 feet. This, states Mr. Alexander, is a fayvâ€" ourable condition for striking oil at lower horizons. The salt water has been practically shut off by casing and diamond drilling will be resumed withâ€" out delay. W. Tees Curran, FR.G., and R.

The people in Sudbury and in the surrounding district have got so used to developments of productive enâ€" terprise, all springing from the mineral resources and water powers with which their rich region is blessed, that they have hardly time to stop and dwell upâ€" on the marvellous changes. In other townk in the North there is similar newâ€" lyâ€"born industrial activity flourishing on the bosom of their rich soil. Sudbury, which bids fair to be one of the world‘s great centres of varied mineral producâ€" tion and of industrial activity based on that production; Sault Ste. Marie, which has bright prospects of becomâ€" ing a steel centre many times as proâ€" ductive as it is toâ€"day; Iroquois Falls, one of the great paper manufacturing towns of this continent; the mining towns in Cobalt, Kirkland Lake and Porcupine districts, to say nothing of the several other points that are burstâ€" ing into mineral production, all owe much of their progress to the policies of the Ferguson Government. The roads built in that country, the farms cultivated there are likewise very largely developments of the same statesmanship. The upbuilding of this province has gone on under the Ferâ€" guson Government as at no former time in Ontario‘s history. As Mr. Lyons was able to say in an address he deâ€" livered .at Sault Ste.
