Ltd To the Editor, The Advance, Timmins This week The Advance has received the following letter from H. A. Preston who has done so much to centre attenâ€" tion on the idea of a belt line of roads for this North. Under the heading, "Roads for Settlers," Mr. Preston writes as follows:â€" Dear Sir:â€"In your last issue of The Advance I read with interest the story of roads for the settlers. The Advance certainly takes the right stand when it Government Should See to Both the Road for Tourists and to Open up Rich Section and the Roads to Serve the Settâ€" lers in this North Land. Another Letter from H. A. Preston, the Father of the Belt Line of Roads Idea. Thursday, Nov. 14th, 1929 Belt Line Should be Built as Well as Roads for Settlers Third Ave. i1 d ~â€" 06 W U 6 4 B B S 8 TGP At Price s Never B efor on Worin e Known in ;g | o9 Drugs+Cut Rate Prices : Matheson, Ont., Nov. 9th, 1929 says both the belt line and settlers‘ roads should be built and put in A 1 shape. If. there were no Porcupine, Kirkland Lake, Sudbury or Cobalt camps, what use would there be for settlers. The T. N. O. would be close to a total loss. I am of the same opinâ€" ion as The Advance that both the belt line and the settlers‘ roads should be put in the best of shape. The Governâ€" ment derives plenty of money from this North to do both. This big belt line will certainly help the settlers. It will fetch three times the tourists and I may say that many tourists who now come up the Ferguson highway ask if there is any other route by which they may return south, or if they have to return the same way as they came. One sure thing is that some day we are going to see a couple of big new â€"mining camps on the route from Timmins to Sudbury and there is a possible chance of a big power development. There are hundreds of large and small lakes, and the water is going down hill all the way to Sudbury and the Georgian Bay. Could not something be done to divert this water into one big stream, and pick out a spot where a power house could be built? I know of one spot where a good stream dashes down a mountain threeâ€"quarters o‘ a mile from its top to the large lake below, and where it comes from there are a few lakes right on the height of land. And now let us turn to> the settlers‘ roads. Take all the country east and west of Matheson and Earlton and Englehart westward, and here we have the two greatest and oldest farm szcâ€" tions: in this particular part of the nmorth. If all the roads were put in good shape they would do double duty because there are surely mines under some of these farms. Not long ago a farmer east of Matheson was digging post holes and discovered gold. A few miles east of this farm is a mine where millions of dollars were taken out. If there is one such mine the chances are that there are more in the country, but as I have said before the big minâ€" ing men are nearly a@all running away from where their fortunes were made to try and find better things. If more attention was paid to where the big things already are there would be more found. The Matheson settlers are the gold mines while the Earlâ€" ton settlers are among the silver mines. Where else in America can be found a biz nickel and copper belt and adjoinâ€" ing it a silver belt, and adjoining that a gold belt with two of the world‘s greatest camps, and in between all therc thore is a tourists‘ paradise, three big farming areas, and hundreds of lakes the water going to waste. Of course, the farmer is the best Next to Tayjor Hardware THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO BOWLING AVERAGES IN THE OSTROSSER LEAGUE 1928â€"9 As a matter of interest and inspiraâ€" tion for bowlers this year a summary has been made of the averages in the Ostrosser and Fraternal leagues for last season, 1928â€"1929; The following is the list:â€"â€" Standing of the Various Players in the Town Bowling League for the Seaâ€" son Just Passed.

Therefore the roads around the settlers should be put in shape as well as the belt line, because as I said the governâ€" ment gets plenty of money out of this North to do both and the road from Sudbury to Timmins will pay for itself in the long run. Nothing better can be done in this North than to put in shape the line of roads and the roads arsund the settlers‘ places, for one helps the other. The belt line of roads will increase the tourists trade to big proportions. The roads for settlers will allow the farâ€" mers to get their crops to market and their supplies in, without having to wait until everything freezes up. In fact, all these roads will serve farmers and mines and tourists alike, and all around them are big mines and lo‘s of farms with mines heneath friend we have because we cannot eat gold, silver or other metals, and he grows the food which keeps us alive.

The progress of the Howey Gold Mine in the Red Lake area is being watched with very keen interest, beâ€" cause it is felt that the Howey will set the pace for the camp in many ways. If the Howey proves to be the great success predicted for it, there is every reason to expect that activity all through the Red Lake camp will be the order of the day. This sort of idea . naâ€" turally interests all who are interested in the Red Lake field, and that means a very large number. There are scores in Timmings and district who are interâ€" ested in the Red Lake area and these are consequently much interested in the progress of the Howey. The Howey of which Jack Hammell is the presiâ€" dent, has gone ahead to make a mine, and is certainly getting along in enâ€" couraging way. It bids fair to show the possibilities of the country. Recently interest in the Red Lake country has slackened, but there is sure to be a reâ€" vival when the camp has an actual producer. This is the common experiâ€" ence of mining camps. There is the first enthusiasm when all who speak about a camp are emphatic in expressâ€" ing the opinion that the most wonderâ€" ful prophecies are sure to be far beâ€" low the actual facts of the case. Next there usually comes time of reaction when interest wanes during the hard trying days while effort is being made to prove up some of the hopes of rush days. With the first producer actively turning out gold the third stage apâ€" pears. This is a second and more perâ€" manent type of boom. The Red Lake camp is only a couple of months away from having an actual producer, so Red Lake may be expected to boom again shortly. HOWEY GOLD TO PRODUCGE WITHIN NEXT SIXTY DAYS Advices this week from Sioux Lookâ€" out say that within the next 60 days, mill construction will be all but comâ€" pleted and Howey Gold Mines will be ready for production. Initial output will be at the rate of around $1,250,000 annually and it is quite probable that this will be gradually stepped up to the rate of around $2,500,000 annually. The forecast of production at such a rate is based on particularly conserâ€" vative figures. For instance, to proâ€" guce at the rates mentioned it will be necessary for the ore to average only Controlling and Operating Northern Ontario Power Company, Limited _ Northern Quebec Power Company, Limited Great Northern Power Corporation, Limited $20 down.

Developments at the lower levels, beâ€" low the 500, are placing higher grade ore in sight and it is believed that the early official estimates of the grade above the 500â€"foot level leave room for reasonable expectations of a higher reâ€" covery than what might at first have been looked for. Work at the 625â€"feot level is steadily placing ore in the sight and at time o1 writing upwards of 350 feet in length has been developed. Mr. and Mrs. S. R.
