One of the| latest samples of progress for the newI community in the North is the fact that it now has telephone communicaâ€" tion with the outside world, which is | certainly a great advantage. Few other new towns in the North have had this benefSt at as early a stage in their deâ€" velopment. Blacksmith Rapids is the new town for the Ontario Government‘s new lignite field north of Cochrane, and as might be expected in regard to. a new town specially sponsored by the Ontario Government, the plan seems to be to keep it as upâ€"toâ€"date as may be and to provide it with as many adâ€" vantages and modern conmnveniences as it needs. The extension of the teleâ€" phone line to Blacksmith Rapids will generally be heralded as a very deâ€" cided acquisition to the modern faciliâ€" ties of the new centre, and likely to prove of special value and convenience to the progress of the work at the new: coal fields as well as to the Governâ€" ment and to the people in general. Last week despatches from Toronto noted that as a further aid to the Onâ€" tario Government‘s development in the lignite field at Onakawana, the T. and N. O. Railway has extended its teleâ€" phone line from Island Falls to Blackâ€" smith Rapids, heart of the new coal territory. Blacksmith lies 126 miles north of Cochrane and its communication with outside points has not been very speedy until now. The first call over the newly extendâ€" ed line was made during the past weekâ€" end between Dr. W. S. Dyer, of the Provincial Geologists staff at Blackâ€" smith and Thomas F.

It is some months since The Advance has had a letter from H. A. Preston. He has been busy at the regular sumâ€" mer work that has taken his attention at this time of year for the past few seasons. This week, however, he breaks a silence of several months by a characteristic letter, which is given herewith:â€" Ramore, Ont., Sept. 10th, 1930 EFditor of The Advance, Timmins, Ont. Dear Sir:â€"Isn‘t it pretty nearly time that someone found a new great gold mine in this part of Ontario? I have been towersman on Cook Mountain for the past summer. This mountain is four miles east of Ramore station, with a good auto road to it. On a clear day one can see the smoke rising from Rouyn which is about 45 miles east. Only 18 miles south is Kirkland Lake and only a ridge of high country to the west prevents the Porcupine camp from being seen. Just six miiles directly north is the Croesus mine, where $47,â€" 000.00 was taken from 700 lbs. of ore. It seems so funny that our great minâ€" ing magnates, who were all made rich not @a great distance from this Coolk Mountain are more interested in the distant fields than they are right here where all the greatest gold mines on the continent are situated. If some of them would only take a trip to this mountain and climb the 80â€"ft. steel tower and take a look at the immense area to be seen, and such a short distance to any one of the great camps, I think they will learn something. If the Hollinger, Dome and McIntyre mines are only 35 miles west and the Lake Shore, Teckâ€"Hughes and cthers 18 miles south, and Rouyn and Ncranda 45 miles east, and the richest gold ever found only six miles away, and several other gold showings at Matachewan,. and Lightning River, does any engineer or anyone else mean to tell me that there are no more great gold mines in between the great ones already found? Yet they seem to think SG. I have this summer taken blueberry pickers to places where there were a hundred baskets of the fruit in front of them ready to be picked, and the berries the very best, and they would pick for a while and then run away off trying to find better ones. That‘s exâ€" actly what our mine men are doing toâ€" day. Right in the area seen from Cook Mountain tower there are without doubt quite a few more gold mines the THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO NORTH BAY DEGIDED IN ITS STAND ON TRANSâ€"CANADA At Mceting Last Week North Bay Board of Trade Very Firm in Its Adherence to the Ferguson Highway Route for Dominâ€" ion Highway. Desp Last week there was a meeting of the North Bay board of trade in regare to the matter and , the gathering, through its executive, not only declined to sanction the Nicholson route aAs @A part of the Transâ€"Canada roadway, but in an unanimously supported reâ€" solution stood steadfastly with the members of the Northern Ontario Asâ€" sociation of Boards of Trade in support of the Cochraneâ€"Hearst route. The Nicholson route, as proposed, 1: one of the compromises apparently planned to keep some of the centres agreeable rather than to present the most practical route for the Transâ€" Canada highway. V. T. Chapple, viceâ€"president of the Chapleau board of trade, and Reeve Frank Edwards, of Chapleau, made personal appeals to the meeting in favâ€" our of the Nicholson route, which is intended to link Sault Ste. Marie and Chapleau to the northerly route at Oba The resolution as adopted in the nam> of the North Bay board of trade was a reiteration of support given to the Cochraneâ€"Hearst route by way of the Ferguson highway some time ago, and carried an expression to the effect thai its sponsors had every faith in the government‘s projecting such gonnecâ€" tions to the main highway as will bo necessary to serve the interests of all concerned. When advised of the decision, Mr. Chapple said he had hoped that North: Bay would have given the Nicholson route proposal a "little stronger endorâ€" sation." He was then advised that New Liskeard, Haileybury and Cobalt boards of trade jointly had passed a resolution on Thursday evening exâ€" pressing opposition in A pronounced manner to the Nicholson route as A compremise,. measure. This view wWAas conveyed to the North Bay meeting by a wire sent by M. S. Boyd, secretary of the Haileybury board of trade, and was confirmed in a message sent by E. Whartcn Shaw, who advanced the Nicâ€" holszn scheme on Tuesday of last week at Ncrth Bay, saying it would be inadâ€" visable for North@Bay to endorse the proposal as the northern towns had deâ€" clared disapproval in an unanimou: manner. Mr. Shaw added that thne success of the project could only be asâ€" sured if all northern towns gave it supâ€" prort. He mentioned that he had wired C. W. Wright, president of the Northâ€" ern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, of his finding. equal of Hollinger, Dome, Lake Shore.. MciIntyre, etc., and if any cone of them is discovered it will be very easy inâ€" deed to get to them, because already the whole country is strewn with railâ€" ways, roads, rivers and planes. All that is needed is another Harry Oakes or scmeone else who believes in going down deep. There are dozens of goodâ€" looiling properties in the area with surface showings good enough to warâ€" rant deep drilling. One®certain sure thing is that if these showings were fourd in a distant field 1,000 miles from our great mines, there would be a rush to get to them, and it would cost twenty dollars to do what one dollar will do in the centre of all the big gold camps, right at our door, where there are cover one hundred thousand square miles not oneâ€"tenth prospected yet. Mr. Chapple made it known that ho was disappointed with the manner in which North Bay received his proposal. He intimated that the success of the transâ€"Canada project depended a great If I had one quarter or one tenth the money some of our big fellows have, I am sure it would not be long until you would hear of a big new mine.

The fire broke out about 4 o‘clock Sunday mornâ€" ing and was first discovered by the staâ€" tion agent. When he noticed the blaze, the fire had assumed such proportions that he could do nothing. The toleâ€" graph was plut out of commission by the fire and so the agent was not even able to notify North Bay as to the fire. The cause of the fire is not known and details are not available at the time of writing. The chief information reachâ€" ing Timmins in regard to the fire comes from passengers on the main line of the T. N.

Yesterday they wired Mr. Laberge to come to North Bay that night with a strong following, for the opposition was ksen. Unfortunately, none of the members of the Sudbury board of trade were able to go. On Tuesday evening E. Wharton Shaw, of Hamilton, and J. A. Laberge, of Sudbury, conferred with the North Bay board and pointed out the advantages of the central route as sponsored by Sudbury, Sturgeon Falls and Chapleau, over the northern route via Cochrane, but they were not accorded a very enthusiastic hearing."

The value of the gold produced in these two sixâ€" month periods was $17,337,123 and $16,â€" !514,313, respectively. Not many years azo the idea of this province producing gcld at the rate of thirtyâ€"three million l dollars a year would have been deemed fanciful. In the light of present knowâ€" ledge about Ontario‘s explored minera ‘area, the prospects of the province‘s gold mines yielding an annual outpus very greatly exceeding that to which they have now attained are very bright. One centre of gold production that | keeps the public marvelling is Kirkland Ontario‘s Production of Gold Shows Good Increase The following is an editorial article from The Toronto Mail and Empire on Friday last:â€" Lake. When mines were opened in that district the richness of the ore impressed everybody, but there was no Ex;‘:ctation that abundance of highâ€" srade ore would continue to be found at great depths. In comparison with the Porcupine district, the Kirklana T .ke district was thought to be shallow. The Porcupine mines have gone on producing at great depths, tthe ore srading much lower in gold per ton than that of the Kirkland Lake mines, but ‘he latter, though now being mined at very considerable depths, continue to turn out rich ore. These two mining centres are not the only sources from which gold is being taken in Northern Ontario. As exploration and developâ€" ment go on in portions Oof the preâ€" Cambrian cap still more wonderful gold discoveries may be made than those |that are now being turned to account.

Wheat toâ€"day is much below the dollar mark, and other agricultural products are down. All products of the mines, with the exception of gold, are in dull demand at prices that have fallen in the last eighteen months. Copper, for example, of which this country has become large producer, is selling toâ€"day at only about half the price it commanded a little more than a year ago. But all the gold Ontario can mine is in demand, and however Ontario may increase its output of that metal, a market for it is assured. "Why are commodities declining in price? One reason given by economists is that the supply of gold is not keepâ€" ing pace with the demand on currency account. For years business went on expanding at an extraordinary rate. The production of articles of merchanâ€" dise and the provision of services mulâ€" tiplied. More money was needed for carrying on this large volume of busiâ€" ness, and the basis of the money cirâ€" culation of most trading countries was supposed to be gold. The gold supply available for monetary use shrank and with it, of late, prices have shrunk Undoubtedly much of the gold kept in reserve in the United States, in France and in some other countries is of little service for currency purpose. It is to be hoped that the gold mines in Ontario will become more numerous and proâ€" ductive on a much larger scale. Their output is needed to keep the world‘s expanding money circulation on a sound basis. And the more gold proâ€" duced, the more will the prices of comâ€" modities tend to rise."
