OR more than two years it has been Chevrolet‘s distinction to Evidence continues to accumulate that the vertical oreâ€"zones at Kirkland Lake and Porcupine will continue to vield chyable values at very great depth. While the deposits cannot be compared with the goldâ€"bearing conâ€" glomerate strata of the Rand where the values are known to persist to at least 7000 feet in depth, they are much like thoes of the Kolar goldfield in the state of Mysore, India, where mine workings have now reached a depth of 6,900 feet. At this depth the lodes are essentially the same as they were at the upper levels, and it is expected that only the difficulties due to heat and the added exrianse of working at great depths will bring about a cessation of mining, says The Canadian Mining Journal. Vertical Zones Give Ontario Deep Mining For fifty years the mines of the Koâ€" lar field have yielded bullion in steady stream, the amount to the end of 1930 being approximately 16,550,000 ounces, worth £71,500,000 from which £22,500,000 has been paid in dividends, in addition to close on £4,000,000 paid as royvalty to the State of Mysore.

Once you try this bigger and finer Six, we are sure you will never be satisfied with less. no time have the ore reserves of any of the mines been sufficient for more than a very few years of operation, yet toâ€" day, they stand at a higher level than they did a score or more years ago. It is thus obvious that the slow exâ€" ploitation of the Kolar gold deposits is due primarily to their limited lateral extension and to the impracticability, commercially sypeaking, of blocking out more ore than will feed a comparativeâ€" ly small mill for, say three or four years. There is no doubt that, if a larger area could be opened out at one time, mill capacities would be increased and a larger and more immediate profit made;: but the perennial uncertainty as to what lies beneath the lowest levels compels a cautious course, and the litâ€" tle mills (as we would regard them), continuously brought up to date in the interests of economy, continue to yield their steady stream of bullion. Recently the deep gold mines of the Rand have been studied as a means of helping to formulate the soundest posâ€" sible plans for the deep developtrnent of the Ontario gold mines, and much has been learned. We venture to suggest, however, that, while the Rand pracâ€" tices will yield many useful suggestions as to metallurgical treatment and minâ€" ing methods, a study of the gold mines of Mysore will yield much information about the more vital questions of ore deposition and mining policy that the Rand, with its differing geological conâ€" ditions, cannot give. The ore deposits of the Kolar field, like those of the two large Ontario gold camps, have alternating zones of rich and lean ore as the mines are deepenâ€" ed; but the Indian mines seem to sufâ€" fer more from this than do ours, piroâ€" bably because the number of lodes on a level in any one mine is less there than here. So the Indian mines have had much the same vicissitudes of forâ€" tune that have beset some of the Canâ€" adian mines, with the difference that both the maragement and the investors of"the Indian mines have some generaâ€" tions of experience behind them which helps them through the bad times without panic, whereas our own people, both investors and technical men, are more inclined to take the short viewâ€" a view not suited to successful lode gold mining. Policy pledges lasting THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE. TIMMINS. ONTARIO CB .36 Matachewan Likely Busy This Summer All the signs point to a busy spring and summer this year in the Matacheâ€" wan area. There will not be a rush this year so far as staking is concerned beâ€" cause the greater part of the country is all staked up. But there have been many notable finds in the new gold area and as a consequence there is sure to be a lot of work done on claims in the Matachewan area this summer. As a consequence there will be a minor rush of prospectorsâ€"pmrospectors going in to do work on their claims. For the minute attention is centred rather largely on a new rush to a reported new gold field in the province of Alâ€" berta. This, however, will drop away and attention will return again to Maâ€" tachewan. There is an old saying that gold is where you find it. It is equally true that prospectors are inclined to go where the greatest hardships are likeâ€" ly to be encountered. It is always difâ€" ficult to make anything like a rush within fifty miles of a railroad, The prospector likes the outâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"way ilace and the field that is difficult of access. The greater the difficulties the more the prospector appears to like it. A couple of years ago the prospectors were rushing to the Fort Hope area. That was the sort of distant field that appeared good to the oldâ€"timer. Then Red Lake also had its great attracâ€" tion, largely, porhaps, because of the difficulties encountered in reaching the field. seemed as if the rush to Kaâ€" miskotia depended largely on the reâ€" port that difficulty barred the way to that field. At the Moment, Tiowever, the Gold Rush in Alberta is Attracting Speâ€" clal Attention Because of Hardâ€" ships Alleged. Under the heading, "The Quest for Gold," The Toronto Globe touches on this pointâ€"that the difficultiee that bar the way seem to give added attracâ€" tion to any new gold field, and spur on the prospector to test his luck against the obstacles that nature and circumâ€" stances may place in the way. In the editorial article in The Globe the "quest for gold" is dealt with as folâ€" lows:â€" "The intriguing feature of the "rush" to the Alberta foothills lies not so much in the discovery of a new camp as in the revelation that, while methods of transportation have been revolutioniz= ed, there has been no lessening in man‘s eagerness to respond to the opportunity to "get rich quick"â€"and that there continues need for police supervision." "Later the Klondike beckoned, and immediately the "rush" began. Nature in the rugged North presented to the first invaders a stern resistance, and death and incredible suffering marked their progress; but the r/ospect of riches enabled the majority to prevail. Placer gold proved abundant, but minâ€" ing at depth ‘was disappointing. "Northern Ontario had its great day of pioneer prospecting, and now is established as marvellously rich in gold and baser metals Coming at a later the development of this area was accompanied with a minimum of hardship, and now the prospector who is well "staked" may take the air line to his field of operations. Owen Sound Sunâ€"Times:â€"Over in the States the railways seem to have wakened up to the necessity of meetâ€" ing bus and motor car competition by something more than the withdrawal of trains. They have speeded up their passenger trains, reduced fares at cerâ€" tain times, and some roads have averâ€" aged more frequent service by taking advantage of the new style oilâ€"electric cars. Excursion rates in and out of commercial centres and tourist points are creating a new volume of business for these U.S. roads. ‘"There is nothing to equal a reported gold strike as an éeffective stimulus to the nomadic and avaricious instincts of man. Widely separated sections of the worldâ€"America, Africa, Australiaâ€" know the meaning of a "rush" to prosâ€" pective camps; hence it is not surprisâ€" ing that mounted police have been deâ€" tailed to keep an eye on the invasion of a section of Alberta said to contain the precious mental. "Perhaps the greatest "trek" in "tne mad race for wealth" followed the disâ€" covery of gold in the Transvaal, South Africa. Adventurers from all the world restimded to the ancient call. The only means of transportation from the sea to the Rand was the oldâ€"fashâ€" ioned ox wagon, and the journey of these reckless nomads across the sparsely settled veldt, and their deâ€" mands and conduct at lonely farmâ€" houses, are to this day bitter memories for the Boers. From this period dates the sharp hostility in that country beâ€" tween Boer and "uitlander" which culâ€" minated in the South African War. It was a heterogeneous crowd that laid the foundations of the present city of Johannesburg, and its general characâ€" ter may be imagined from the fact that in its earlier stages the Golden City beâ€" came known as the South African Uniâ€" versity of Grime. However, there was no delusion about the existence of gold on the Witwatersrand, which continues to be one of the greatest producing camps in the world. "Gok has throughout the ages proâ€" vided the lure which nmankind could not resist. Perhaps the most picturesâ€" que search for this source of wealth was that undertaken by "the fortyâ€" niners," who blazed a historic trail to California, a heartbreaking journey in cart, in saddle and on foot, made enâ€" durable only by the hope and belief that ahead was The sufferâ€" ing, the courage and the perseverance of these men have provided the theme for many a stirring story that enriched the literature of the last century. The Present is an Age of Lumber Substitution w$ 4nip Mn se on e e es Tt Bsc tss market, the Panama Canal shortâ€"cut | p.., L B. Gibson, pastor of Caokes from the Pacific Coast lumber mills to Presbyterian Church, Toronto, on Sunâ€" the markets of the east, the Age of day urged the deprortation of all Comâ€" Steel, and the production of substitutes | mynists and the rallying of all citizens for lumber, are some of the reasons} .. police support in banning all Comâ€" why Canadian lumbermen are facing munist meetings, whatever the auspices. difficult conditions today. The indusâ€" ) ‘purning to the Fellowship Oof Reâ€" try which used to be the greatest one in ! ccnciliation, Dr. Gibson stated it could the Dominion is battling against the tides of worldâ€"wide dislocation of trade. "Yes, the‘ lumber business is not what it used to be," said A. C. Manâ€" bert, president of the General Lumber Co. of Toronto, and first viceâ€"president of the Canadian Lumbermen‘s Associaâ€" tion. He looked out of his office winâ€" dow on top of ons of Toronto‘s large buildings as he expressed that opinicn, and although he did not say so, he was p~obably thinking things about the colony of skyscrapers that came within his range of vision. For the modern skyscraper, with its steel and stone, is one of the reasons why the lumberman is facing his troubles today. Modern science has many wonâ€" derful things to its credit, but it has made heaps of trouble for some of the elementary industries of this and other countries. There are other reasons, of course, for the difficult times which our lumâ€" bermen are facing today. During the war there was tremendous activity in the lumbering industry. Any kind of lumber brought good prices, and the market could not be supplied. Fine forests were cut down in Great Briâ€" tain, and their owners became rich in many cases, as a result of the high prices. The world scarcity of lumber brought about abnormal activity in the forests of Canada, and huge areas were cleared of their standing timber. The war ended. And while the batâ€" tlefields were being cleared up, lumber shipments menced to come east via the P Canal. The canal is undoubtedly a great enterprise, but consider what it did to the lumber business in Eastern Canada. It was just like moving the virgin forests of the Pacific coast two thousand miles farther east. It stimulated the lumber production of British Columbia‘s forâ€" ests to an abnormal degree, disorganizâ€" ed freight rates, and caused a glut in the market down east. 4" To provide a fair, stable, annual forest fee on the land itself during the long period the forest crop is being grown, and then a yield tax from the forest crop at the time it is harvested when the property is best able to pay. This is the only method I can think of that will encourage private tree plantâ€" ing in Ontario," concluded the writer. 2. To encourage owners of retain owâ€" nership of forest growing land for fuâ€" 3. To encourage natural reforestaâ€" tion on forest growing lands, and thus through the creation of forest values, to foster the protection of these lands from forest fires as provided by Proâ€" vince of Ontario fire ‘aws. Edmonton Bulletin:â€"There is a time for "rigid economy," but this is not the season. The time to cut government expenditures is when there is least need of them being made; when private enterprise is pouring money into new investments, when prices are normal, when trade is brisk, when employment is plentiful, when government help is not needed to create work and keep business alive. In the meantime, the age of lumber substitutes had arrived. Taxpayers deâ€" manded cement sidewalks. The rise in the standard of living made stone houses popular. The steel manufacâ€" turers were introducing steel to the building trade. The day of skyscrapers Russia set the pace, apparently. Her fiveâ€"yearâ€"plan speeded up her lumber production. She was producing lumber under slavery conditions and had to unload it in the British market. She has done so. In fact, she has tried to unload some of her cheap lumber in America, but the game has not worked quite so well over here. At that, some Russian pulp has found its way into the United States. Writing from Silver Hill, Ont., R. A. MciInnes says: "Now that reforestation is a real live issue in Ontario, let us give the private tree planter a chance by changing the present law as it afâ€" fects him, to the principle of a low fixâ€" ed annual land tax supplemented by a yield tax on forest products ultimately harvested. This aprrars to me to be the best method or basis to be developâ€" ed in a provinceâ€"wide study of forest taxation as, at least, the starting point in encouraging private ownership. The purpose of this new law would be primarily: 1. To piromote reforestation on lands not suitable for more profitable use. SHOULD ENCOURAGE THE PRIVATE TREE PLANTER had arrived, and skyscrapers are not built of lumber. Less lumber was being used in the decoration and flooring of buildings. Asphalt and linoleum had become popular. Steel desks had been successfully introduced to business ofâ€" fices. Steel beds that looked like wooden ones were finding a sale. All sorts of substitutes for wood were beâ€" ing used. Why, even paper was being used for packing instead of wood, and the longâ€"distance trucking business had acne away, to a certain extent, with wooden packages. There was no end of these substitutes. n top of these conditions came A slump in export business. The British market, for instance, has been invaded by Russia in recent years, and to a lesser extent by Sweden, Norway and Finland. The Russian Bear in the British were godly men, he thought he could show they were in bad company. He |also declared the fellowship was linked ,with octher associations that advanced ‘ ‘he doctrine of Marxian Socialism "Let our bar their doors to the agents of the Soviet," he said, "and, if necessary, refuse to trade with them.

Let all good citizens support the ! police in combatting all Communistic |gatherings, whatever their auspices. Urges Deporting of All Reds and Stop Meetings In a bitter attack on Cummunism and the Fellowship of Reconciliation, Revy. L. B. Gibson, pastor of Cooke‘s Presbyterian Church, Toronto, on Sunâ€" day urged the deportation of all Comâ€" munists and the rallying of all citizens "The Communist propaganda is a menace to all our institutions. In sayâ€" ing all this I believe in freedom ot sm:ech, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, but when it comes to the case of an organized movement that has for its object one purpose alone, however, it may disguise itself, that purpose being to blow up the State, then I say they should not be given an opportunity to foment revolution and strife and hatred and unrest among people who are otherwise comparatively happy and contented. The Communist programme is a challenge to the Church of Christ and all Christian people. Dr. Gibson analyzed the report of the Select Committee of the American Congress to show how through interâ€" national intrigue it was the Communisâ€" ‘c object to cause strikes, sabotage and civil war, the destruction of representaâ€" tive and democratic governments, inâ€" cluding liberties such as the freedom of speech, of the press and of assembly, and ultimately to precipitate a world revolution, out of which would be es tablished a dictatorship of the proleâ€" Dr. Gibson stated it couig 10t be appraised by its face value.

The Bobjo Mines, whose claims in the Red Lake area attracted considerâ€" able notice a couple of years ago, have added some claims in the Matachewan area to their gold holdings. These reâ€" cently acquired claims are a few miles south of the Ashleyâ€"Garvey Mines proâ€" perty in Bannockburn township, Maâ€" tachewan gold field. It is understood that work on the Bobjo claims in Matachewan will be commenrced at once. Ten or twelve men will be emâ€" ployed in the Matachewan work. Camps are to be finished at once and surface exploration work to be brought under way as soon as possible. The equipment to be used in the work in Matachewan will be brought from the company‘s original property in the Red Lake area, according to what is generâ€" ally understood in regard to the matter.
