Phone 32 Mayor "But that is a past chapter in Canaâ€" dian history, and one from which Canâ€" adians who believe in British and Canâ€" adian methods of political progress may well draw satisfaction, whether they happen to be of one party or the other. Toâ€"day Mr. Ferguson is High Commissioner of all Canada. He is the chosen spokesman of the Canadian Government at the heart of the Emâ€" pire, the medium through which Canâ€" ada speaks to the Mother Country. He represents at the heart of the Emâ€" pire Canadians of all races and parties, and is accessible to all, regardless of political or other opinionrs. We have never known a High Commissioner who ces ce mm ns mm ons nage m : c es > sns of the wholeâ€"hearted Canadianism Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, for severâ€" al years premiér of the province of Onâ€" tario, was accustomed for many years not only to abuse from politicians but also to slurs and slanders from a porâ€" tion of the press. He never seemed to mind. Occasionally he turned and made a regular holy show of his critics but usually he treated them with the disdain they seemed to merit. To the ordinary man it seemed somewhat unâ€" fair and objectionable that a man who enjoyed such wide personal popularity with the people in general should be subjected to so much abuse in some quarters. But so it was! The last provincial election showed Hon. G. Howard Ferguson to enjoy the confiâ€" dence and affection of the in a degree never equalled by any previous prime minister of the province. This fact appeared to make him the target for further slams and slurs. The average man was beginning to feel that the continued abuse of Hon. Mr. Ferâ€" guson constituted reflection and conâ€" demnation of the people of the proâ€" vince asâ€"a whole, or that it must prove extraordinary malice on the part of those who abused the premier of the day. The difference between the orâ€" dinary man and the critic seemed to be great indeed. The voters in overâ€" whelming way showed their regard for Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, while the critics continued their peevish comâ€" plaints and criticism. The only logical conclusion was that the people in genâ€" eral were almost unanimous in believâ€" ing that Hon. Mr. Ferguson was able, honest, sincere and a great success as a party leader and as a statesman, while the carping critics were wrong, or else the majority were altogether off the track. When the former preâ€"| mier of Ontario was appointed High Commissioner of Canada in London, England, it was felt by many that the old traditions would obtain, and the High Commissioner, as in the past, ; would be more or less freed from paltry , criticism. Most people have been surâ€" prised that the contrary has been the case. The critics being freed from | fear of the redoubtable G. Howard Ferguson have redoubled their calum-l nies. In view of the increased stream | of abuse of the new High Commissionâ€" er for Canada it is interesting to read what is being said of him where he is now carrying on his good work. In a recent issue of The Canadian Gazette, London, England, the following referâ€" ence was made:â€" "British public men and members of the Canadian community in Great Britain who have firstâ€"hand knowledge with which the High Commissioner carries out his duties find it difficult to | follow some of the comments passed in certain circles in Canada upon his sayâ€" ings and doings. It is one of Mr. Ferâ€"| guson‘s claims to high rank in Canaâ€" dian annals that he has been a virile and successful political leader. For a lengthy period he held the confidence of the people of the premier province of the Dominion, and served them as only a vigorous and disinterested public man could do. In this he carried on the traditions of men who have writ| their names large in Canzdian and| Empire history. | Old Land Views of High Commissioner Reference of London, England, Paper to Canada‘s High Commissioner in Contrast to Canadian Criticâ€" ism. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO London (England) Observer:â€" Dr. Charles Campsell, Depu:y Minister ot Mines for the Dominion of Canada, says that more minerals have been produced and used in the past 25 years than in the previous 6000 years. The Northern News of Kirkland Lake last week says:â€""It is unlikely that the township of Teck which includes the Kirkland Lake gold camp will be represented at the proposed meeting of the General Council of New Ontario which is scheduled to meet at Sault Ste. Marie on August 25th. The inâ€" vitation from J. W. Curran, convenor of the committee in charge, to the local council was read at their regular meetâ€" ing last Thursday night. An article from The Sault Star enclosed with the invitation discussed the advisability of forming a general council of all parts of New Ontario as a sort of "unofficial legislature." â€" Anything savoring of se-! cession, as indicated by the last two words, of New Ontario from the rest of the province was directly opposed to his wishes, said Reeve M. G. Hunt. If there was am intention of such he felt the council should send a resolution opposing such a move. Councillors McChesney, Kaplan and Macdonald, who were present, spoke in similar) tones on the subject. It was felt that the mining communities in this area could look after their own interests better by a committee of their own. It was noted that in the past this mining group had always been able to obtain hearings from Government officials. The invitation said the convention for the General Council was sponsored by' the cities of Port Arthur, Fort William and Sault Ste. Marie for the people of | New Ontario. It was felt, the letteri continued, that such problems as the newsprint industry, the building of through highways, the establishing of the iron industry, tourist traffic and| many other subjects, were too big for| single communities or even district orâ€" ganizations." According to Dr. Burroughs the vein is 36 feet wide. Gold has been found in feldspar and porphyry formation close to a keewatin greenstone and visible free gold was found across the entire width of the vein. There is said to be about 18 feet of solid sulphides, channel assays of which yielded values as high as $51 per ton. TECK TOWNSHIP COUNCIL AGAINST SAULT +â€"SCHEME What is described as one of the most important discoveries made this 'year in Matachewan is reported by Dr. C. M. Burroughs of Sudbury, from advices received from his brother, J. L. Burâ€" roughs, who is in charge of a crew of men doing assessment work on their claims in this area. GOLD FIND REPORTED ON THE BURROUGHS CLAIMS®S "He is the first among the Empire‘s Overseas Ambassadors. We know of no occupant of the post who has shown a keener sense of this responsibility and power of usefulness to Canada and the Empire In so doing he will, we may be sure, receive the wholshearted support of all Canadians who realize the potency of individual character and high purpose in public life." "As the latest illustration of what we have in mind, we take some of the comments reported from the Canadian Parliament upon the much appreciated speech which Mr Ferguson made at the Dominion <Day dinner. It is reâ€" ported in another column. Proposing the toast of the British Empire in the presence of the British Prime Minister, the Secretary of the State for the Doâ€" minions, and leaders of public life in all parts of the Empire, the Canadian High Commissioner had a unique opâ€" portunity, and he turned it to its full Canadian uses. was more accessible or more highly reâ€" garded in the widest British spheresâ€" as witness the remarkable Dominion Day reception at the Canadian Buildâ€" ing. He brings to his contact with parliamentarians, journalists and govâ€" erning men of Great ‘Britain an alâ€" most unrivalled knowledge of Canadian administration and natural aims, addâ€" ed to a zeal at least as great as that of any of his distinguished predeces'sors to spread Canada‘s advantage. Is all this nothing? Should it not serve to moderate efforts, natural enough in other circumstances, to attach partisan‘ motives and sinister meanings to even the most natural and appropriate 'ob-‘ servations of any leader of Canadian thought? , 2“""' «tm P P P L U PA P L L uP P ePA PA |__Returns to Quebec §Expect Big Thmgs ’ “4\ LA M 6.»; on Davidson Claims Dubiin Irish Times:â€" Of all the Dominions Canada is, wperhaps, the most unswervingly loyal to the British Crown. Superficially, however, the Canadian is akin rather to the United States tyrl: than to the British type; his appearance recalls New York raâ€" ther than London, and the speech of ‘Torcnto smacks spectrally of Pittsâ€" }burgh. Yet, when we consider the enormous tendency towards "Americâ€" {aniza.uon" that they have inspired in |other parts of the world, and how | greatly their influence must be intensiâ€"| fied in a country which, like Canada, is in geographical contact with the | United States, a reason for Canada‘s s outicok becomes cbstrusive.

"I am sure that there will be 'two good mines there before very long.", lhe said. In addition he believed there| would be many other promising proâ€" perties to come along later. Asked in regard to the Ashley claims on which the original find that started the rush into Matachewan was made, this prosâ€" |pector said he thought it was good.} IHe had been on the property and wasl sure that it was something especially| worth while. "But it is not circumâ€" stance compared to the Davidsonl |claims," he added. He considered the Davidson claims as unsurpassed by anything he had seen in the North, ‘"and I have seen them all," he conâ€" t cluded. mm m se Barrie Examiner:â€" A San Franâ€" cisco school has installed a peeâ€"wee golf course to teach the children to add. We always thought that golt was bad for addition. ‘"‘There have been reports that the vein from which the Davidson fioat has come has been found in place, but no word to this effect has been received from The Northern Miner‘s man in the field. Such word was had a month ago, but it proved to be a false alarm. However, the vein must be there, or a big mining company would not guarâ€" antee to spend $30,000 on the property and arrange an option at high prices covering progress into production. "‘The Speers claims, adjoining the main Davidson group, are also being taken into the McGill company on the approximate basis of 400 shares for each of the 1,000 units. The new comâ€" pany will have either 2,500,000 or 2,â€" 750,000 shares capital. "Jake Davidson Syndicate units are made free for trading, and certificates carrying dividend of shares in the McGill stock is ready, the units will trade exâ€"dividend One of the provisâ€" ions proposed by the incoming mining company is that a portion of the Mcâ€" Gill shares will be pooled for release on execution, at six months, twelve months and eighteen months. About 600 McGill shares will go to each unit, of which there are 1,000 issued out of an authorized 2,000. ‘"The Davidson syndicate retains two other groups of some prospective imâ€" portance. For one it has been offered $25,000 cash, equivalent to $25 per unit. ‘"‘The deal, if consummated, would put $30,000 cash on a firm contract inâ€" to the McGill treasury for the developâ€" ment of the Davidson showings, at a price of 20 or 25¢ a share for stock covering this amount. The incoming company will have an option of 1,500,â€" 000 McGill shares at prices rising up to 75¢c, and yielding cash sufficient to put the property into production, if ratiâ€" fied. The deal will be detailed later when it is signed up, but it would apâ€" pear certain that development of the Davidson ground, which has yielded some very high grade float indicating a vein six or eight feet wide, is assured. ‘"‘Members of the Jake Davidson Maâ€" tachewan Gold Syndicate met last week to consider a proposition from one of the larger mining companies, gave it a favourable verdict, and to expedite the deal, formed a new comâ€" pany called McGill Gold Mines Limitâ€" ed, to take over 209 acres of their Banâ€" nockburn claims. _ There is no doubt that the Davidson claims have roused very unusual atâ€" |tention. All prospectors and mining men who have visited the claims speak in about the same way. They must be specially good to arouse the remarkâ€" able interest that has been evidenced in them. It is understood that one of the larger mining companies of the North has recently completed negotiaâ€" tions for optioning these claims. This is only another evidence of the attenâ€" tion that is being showered on the Dividson property. It is further unâ€" derstood now that financial arrangeâ€" ments have been completed to enable the carrying out of a specially extended scale of development. In this connec-! tion the following from the last issue of The Northern Miner should be read with close attention by all interested in the new Matachewan gold camp. The Northern Miner says:â€" | Large One Scale Development Assured for: of the Outstanding Properties the Matachewan Gold Area. | Brampton Conservator:â€"Some young men grow eyeâ€"brow mustaches, others depend on their 1918 Fords to attract the fair sex "New Ontario is stagnant because New Ontario people are treated as dumb tenants. Nothing is clearer to this paper than that there should be in Northern Ontario an advisory counâ€" cil of business men and no legislation or regulations concerning the north should be adopted without their conâ€" sent. The north is tired of theorists and practical politicians." â€" ‘"Time after time the north has been insincerely promised remedial acâ€" tion. Old Ontario has resented our suggestions, and we have been plainly told that the vast resources of the north "belong to the whole province," meaning old Ontario. The governments, obsessed by theories, have our iron, coal, kaolin and pyrites still unusec. The iron bounty given us after a genâ€" eration of haggling and sideâ€"stepping, will be of use, when the north digs up the money to get iron mining going. No attempt has been made to capitalize the vast Lake Superior secâ€" tion as a summer playground, alâ€" though it is the finest on the continent for such, and 40,000,000 Amâ€" ericans live within a day‘s ride of it. i "The cities at the head of the lakes have campaigned for a railway. A minister has been reported as saying that there would be no more land grants to railways, that the policy was "absurd." The north doesn‘t think so, and points to the fact that the province now possesses a railway, The Algoma Central, 300 miles long through the iron belt without it costing the people of Ontario a cent of money. That is the fact, against which poliâ€" tical theorists can butt their heads. Why shouldn‘t there be more land grants when such results can be acâ€" complished? What good is unused territory? Or territory of which no use can be made without a railway? ‘"The ‘beaver trade, worth a quarter of a million dollars a year to Algoma alone, was slaughtered by regulations drawn up by men who had no grasp of the conditions. The newsprint inâ€" dustry is in a fix that is badly comâ€" plicaited by unsuitable governmer® agreements. "Rightly or wrongly the idea is held across a large nart of the north, that Old Ontario occupies something of the position of an absentee landlord in its relation to us. There has been a dismal failure to get our viewpoint. "The suggestion in the St. Catherines Standard that the formation of a genâ€" eral council for Northern Ontario might be in the nature of a secession movement may be dismissed from the minds of the people of the province. The threats of secession from various districts in the past resulted from the seemingly hopeless job of getting the governments to understand the north and its needs, No part of the proâ€" vince is more proud of Ontario than the people living north of the French River. Only in recent years has Torâ€" onto seemed to grasp any of the esâ€" sentials for a proper development of the north, and truth to tell it has yet a lot to learn. The following is a recent editorial in The Sault Ste Marie Daily Star, and indicates the attitude of that paper on many matters affecting the North :â€" Claims Views of North Have Been Neglected tw# w# A k 48 O AZf b/ kokb _ bnb NP ib Ackh L* id hh hok SA Lh NTA ho LA l,, FLYâ€"TOX\ m # «P 44 4 * * #% «9w «p > t _ i4 t % us ww P4G CHEAPEST INSECT SPRAY YOU CAN USEâ€"SUPERâ€"STRENGTH TAKES LESS â€"KILLS QUICKEST ||, Most Popular Throughout the World J*f The results of the spraying must be the quick, positive death of the insects surpassâ€" ing the performance of other household insecticides.
