With it came the birth of a new idea in Canada 1 a Life Insurance Company conceived and promoted on a purely Mutual basis, with no private capital, and with every single policy holder an active participant in the Company. It is a far cry to those historic days of Confederation. That small band of five hundred original policy holders has grown to become a Company, nation wide in its influence and performance. This year The Mutual Life Assurance Company of Canada celebrates its Diaâ€" mond Jubilee, an outstanding milestone in a truly remarkable history of continâ€" ued growth and achievement. A history like this proves the soundness of the principle of mutuality. The Mutual Life of Canada still remains as Canada‘s first and only Mutual Inâ€" surance Company sharing its benefits and profits with an increasing host of satisfied policy holders. Toâ€"day, more than ever, it stands at the service of all, offering the most protection at the lowest cost.

Lee, chairman of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway, in regard to the accomplishments for the past year and the prospecsts for the future. The T. N. O. and the North Land are so complementary that the story of the one can not be told without giving the history of the other. In the same way no peep into the future for either can be made without having glimpse of the other. Hence Mr. Lee‘s article, which should have special interest for all Ontario, has a double significance for this North Land. Mr. Lee writes as followsâ€" At this season. it is customary to reâ€" view accomplishments for the past year in order to find inspiration for the future. I am, therefore, privileged to record another year‘s successful operaâ€" tion of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario railway, due to the general prosperity of the north country, as a whole, and the gradual increasing exâ€" pansion of the many‘ business underâ€" takings in that part of northern Onâ€" tario tributary to and served by the rallway. The shrinkage in. earnings both freight and passenger on other Canaâ€" dian railways, due to the deferred handling of grain traffic, etc,, has also had its affectâ€"to a certain degreeâ€"on the earnings of our railway, and while cperating expenses have also shown @Â¥ preporticnate reduction from last year, even after taking care of general wage increases put into effect on all Canaâ€" dian railways the net result of earnings has rot been as great as in 1928. The note of optimism which has already ben sounded in the press as emanating from various authoritative sources, causes us to look forward to 2 steady improvement of conditions for the future. Our» forests are yielding a harvest not generally observed by the unitiated, but which contributes a market value annually of approximately $100,000,000 for the whole province, and present indications show that a heavy moveâ€" ment of forest products may be expcted over the T. and N.O. railway this winâ€" ter. Agriculture is achieving a notable progress throughout the north. Farmâ€" ers have improved their methods of production on a more scientific basis and greater success in the future may well be anticipated in this line of enâ€" deavour. The mining industry, regardless of market recessions and fiuctuations keeps marching on, and its soundness is well reflected in the steady progress which has been made during the year 1929. â€" Increased production over 1928 willl be shown in gold, silver, copper and cobalt from the mines operating in the district served by the T. and N.O. railway. In the Porcupine camp, nine mills were operating during the year and while the total production for 1928 was $20,500,000, the results for 1929 will show slightly less. A disastrous fire cecurrred at the Dome on October 28, 1929, completely destroying their mill and adjoining buildings, thereby cutâ€" ting off production from this mine for the remainder of the year. Constant rumor persists that the Dome will reâ€" build their mill and again take its place among the profitable mines of the district. The Kirkland lake camp continues to show a marked increase in producâ€" tion from year to year, being $14,000,â€" 060 fcr 1929 as compared with $12,270,â€" 000 for the year previous. The six producers in order of valuation of proâ€" dusticn were Lake Shore, Teckâ€"Hughes, Wrightâ€"Hargreaves, Sylvanite, Kirk: land Lake Gold and Barryâ€"Hollinger. Even though the price of silver has been gradually dropping throughout the year, the production of silver shows a notable increase over last year This is due to the steady demand for cobalt, the tough content associated with silâ€" ver. The price of this commodity has increased to such an extent that most 5f the old silver mines are now being searched for this cobalt ore. It is remarkable how the mining inâ€" dustry has flourished in the province af Ontario, starting from small beâ€" gzinning not so very many years Aago until now the mineral output approxiâ€" mates one hundred millions of dollars annually, of which.the gold contribute about oneâ€"third, and dividends paid for the past 26 years almost reach the two hundred million dollar mark. The Noranda smelter, located at Norâ€" inda, Que., aproximately 60 miles from swastika on the T. N. O. railway, has been steadily increasing its proâ€" duction of copper until it has now reached its present objective of 2,000 tons per day, treating ores from its own mine (Horme), and also regular shipâ€" ments from the Waiteâ€"Ackermanâ€" Mcntgomery property. It is anticipated that other producers will develop in this Rouyn camp in the not too disâ€" tant future. I now proceed to another important phase of development in the district north of Cochrane towards Moose Facâ€" tory. The clay belt extends for about 10 miles north of Cochrane and 15 miles beyond we reach the coastal plain which extends for approximately 100 miles to James bay in a fiatâ€"lying country. The most noteworthy minerals that have been found so far are lignite, coal, fireâ€"clay, kaolin, silica sand uxd of gypsum of high quality in the lower ad of the Temiskaming and Northâ€" ern Ontario Railway Commission Reviews Progress of Past Year and Prospects for Future. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘ormations, and oil seepages would also ‘ndicate the possibility of locating oil and gas. The most promising prospect to date has been the lignite coal, and carly this year drilling was started near the Blacksmith Rapids, under the direction of Dr. W. S. Dyer, for the Ontario Department of Mines. Very encouraging results have besn cbâ€" tained in this preliminary work, and so far it is reported that an area has been opened up which indicates an approxiâ€" mate tonnage of 60,000,000 tons. The T. and N. O. railway has been extended to a point 100 miles north of Cochrane, and an engineering party is now engaged in relocating the line beâ€" yond for possible further extension of the railway to more closely serve fuâ€" ture mining operations in the lignite field. The T. and N. O, railway with its 600 miles of main line and branches while small compared with the transcontiâ€" nental lines, has impressed its individuâ€" ality and success upon the general business conditions of the province to which it owes its inception, and is ever progressing and expanding toâ€" wards greater endeavour and achieveâ€" ment. The devolpment of the northern part of the province has been one of the most spectacular business romances of the country, and this is inseparably linked with the progress of the railway that has opened up the richly endowed territory. Due to the policy of main line extension and branch lines conâ€" struction the mines and general inâ€" dustries of the northland are brought into close proximity with the financial and business centres of Canada and the United States. All steel trains of most modern conâ€" struction daily serve the travelling pubâ€" lic over the entire system to the full extent of their requirements and the consequent l@ccessibility, ease and comfort of travel have proved a most important factor in the upbuilding of the country at large. The railway has been maintained in a healthy physical condition, and at all times a small army of workers is enâ€" gaged on the line working on the roadâ€" bed and on the bridges, and while their work is not spectacular, it is of vital importance. their loyalty to the duties allotted to them the line has been maintained as a very high standard of efficiency to permit the smooth operation of all classes of trains With the earnestness of enthusiasm for the future, the Temiskaming and Northrn Ontario railway is ready at all times to continue its policy of extension and expansion wherever necessary to meet the growing needs of the territory and province generally. Mr. Richardson outlined the policy which is being followed by the governâ€" ment. Three nurseries are operated by the government for the purpose of growing trees. Any farmer, who deâ€" sires can each year get 4,000 trees from these nurseries for planting on his own ground. Provision is also made for supplying counties or municipalities free of cost. Several places have taken ard>~â€" vantage of the government‘s offer an«c the trees provided have been utilized as a moneyâ€"making scheme as well as for beautification and useful purposes. Pine trees, he stated, grow well in sandy oil where it is practically imposâ€" sible to cultivate other crops and they Arthur Richardson, of Toronto, who has charge of the reforestation work in connection with the Porestry Departâ€" monit of Ontario, recently delivered an interesting address before the Lions‘ Club, St. Catharines, Ont., his subject being "Planting in the Wilderness." POLICY OF REFORESTATION OF ONTARIO GOVERNMENT are very effective is preventing the drift of sand. The people of Ontario Mr. Richardson thought, paid too little attention to their forests, having an idea that Northern Ontario was so thickly forested that there was no need to worry about a depletion. Unless provision was made immediately for reâ€" forestation there would in time be no fcrests, said Mr. Richardson. It was essential that there should be replantâ€" ing, protection, and development of the trated with a number of beautifully coloured slides which depicted the posâ€" sibilities of reforestation. asked the town council to "kindly straighten out our streets." Kimberly Pressâ€" Some guys who were enjoying the Yuletide festivities to the fullest on Tuesday night, have The following editorial in the Toronto Globe this week is well worth thoughtâ€" ful perusal and consideration not only by the people of the North Land but also by all the citizens of the province of Ontario. As The Globe points out the progress of the T. N. O. gives striking evidence of the riches of the North Land. It is true that the sucâ€" cess of the People‘s railway is due in large measure to its able management and careful direction, but it is equally true that while the field is being well developed success only proves the fact that there is a fair field to be cultiâ€" vated. The editorial refers to past success and then proceeds to suggest the greater development possible and probable in the days to come. As The Globe says, "The railway and the northern part of the province are prosâ€" pering together." Probably no other single factor is doing as much for the advancement of the North Land as the T. N. O. Railway. In discussing the matter, The Globe says:â€" "The people of this Province would do well to study the condition of their own railway, the Temiskaming Northern Ontario road. Chairman George W. Lee, writing in The Globe, reccounts the progress that has been made by this line during the past year. It is a story that reads almost like romance, and is in reality a romance of presentâ€"day business. Ever since its inception the T. N. O. has been feeling its way into the North country, extensions coming as warranted by settlement and development. The railâ€" way and the northern part of the Proâ€" vince are prospering together. Mr. Lee dwells on the fact that agriculture is achieving a notable development throughout the North. Farmers are improving their methods of producâ€" tion, and are taking advantage of the benefits conferred by new inventions and the knowledge placed at their disâ€" posal by workers in the field of reâ€" search. Riches of the North as, Indicated by the T. N. O. "The forests of the North also are yielding a harvest which, as Mr. L>e says, is much greater than is generally understood by the people of the Proâ€" vince, and it is expected that this winter will see great advances in this field of production. Regardless of marâ€" ket crashes the mining production of Northern Ontario continues to make progress, with increased outputs of gold, silver, copper and cobalt by mines operating in the district served by the ‘"The greatest optimism is expressed as to the future of the vast coastal plain stretching toward James Bay, with its scarcely r@alized possibilities for the miner and the farmer. There in tremendous import in Mr. Lee‘s‘state~â€" ment to the effect that "the most noteâ€" worthy minerals that have been found, so far, are lignite coal, fireâ€"clay, kaolin, silica sand and mica. There are also enormous beds of gypsum of high qualâ€" ity in the lower formations, and oill seepages would also indicate the possiâ€" bilities of locating oil and gas. The most promising prospect to date has been the lignite coal, and early this year drilling was started near the Blacksmith Rapids under the direction of Dr. W. S. Dyer for the Ontario Deâ€" partment of Mines. Very encouraging results have been obtained in this preâ€" liminary work, and so far it is reported than an area has been opened up which indicates an approximate tonnage. of 60,000,000 tons." "While the Temismaking Northern Ontario Railway is a small affair as compared with the great oceanâ€"toâ€" ocean lines, it "has impressed its indiâ€" viduality and success upon the Province to which it owes its inception, and is ever progressing and expanding toward greater endeavour and achievement." It is doing a great work in opening up a territory endowed by nature with immense wealth, and will have an imâ€" portant place in the story that will reâ€" cord the impressive development of the great North.
