. An editorial article in The Rouynâ€" Noranda Press last week says:â€"*"In ecnversation with The Rouynâ€"Noranda Press last week, a wellâ€"known mining man who has important interests here, was inclined to belitile reports of reâ€" cent finds in the area, and was outâ€" spoken in his denunciation of what he termed "newspaper mining." The newspapers, he claimed, devote relaâ€" tively more space to news of unproven properties than they do to firmly established developments, and this, he felt, resulted in the public sinking a lot of money in worthless promotions. "That, we submit, is a statement that calls for qualification. There is, of course, a certain type of paper which n 28 2 282 282 28229 ’o“o“o“o“o“M Noranda Newspaper Writes about "Newspaper Mining" it must be conceded has a baneful effect on the mining industry. â€" On the other hand, it is hardly fair,to blame the reputable paper if a large proportion the promotions given publicity in its columns fail to develop into producers. Mining is a hazardous business, but we venture to say that the greater percentage of those wgm put money into mining stocks are unâ€" der no illusion regarding the risks they run, but take them with their eyes wide open in the hope of reaping a share of the big rewards that accrue to those who are lucky or wise in their investments. If it is true that unâ€" proven properties are given relatively more space in the newspapers than established developments it is pmb- ably due to the fact that many of the older properties are no longer ‘news." Hollinger, Dome, Lake Shore, Noran= scope so far as the mining newsâ€" gatherer is concerned. The average newspaper reader is not especially inâ€" terested in the technical phase of minâ€" ing. Whether the Beattie Mines gets its~values ‘in syenite porphyry or bosâ€" tonite porphyry, and what percentage of the gold in its ore can be recovered by cyanidation or some other process, has no particular news appeal for the average reader... On the other ‘hand he is likely. to be immensely interested in reading that an adjacent proprty in which stock can be bought for twentyâ€" five or thirty cents @a share has made a promising discovery from which good assays. have been obtained. After all it is that sort of thing that makes mining the attractive proposition it is so far as the general public is conâ€" cerned. It is all very well for the big fellows to belittle the efforts of the smaller fry who are struggling with inadequate finances to develop raw prospects. When all is said and done their own properties were nothing but raw prospects, and less than that, at one stage. â€"In this particular area men poked around both the Noranda and the Beattie for years before anyâ€" one tcok them serviously. The Beattie for example, was examined and conâ€" sistently turned down by important interests for a. decade before Dave Angus came along and decided that this. raw. prospect. had more than orâ€" dinaryâ€"merit.. It is probably true that ninetyâ€"five per cent. of all prospects d, have been in the spotlight for years.

But that is no reason why the litâ€" tle fellows should sit back and allow the ‘big operators to tie up the whole country on their own terms. With due deference to the engineers and geologists (and they have played their part nobly in the development of the mining industry) the biggest finds have been made by technically untrained men with pretty slim grubstakes, who hunted for mineral in areas where very often the technical men offered little encouragement. Experience gainâ€" ed in the field stood them in good stead, but, in many instances, they stumbled on .their finds by pure good luck. And then, very often, it was cnly after years of patient plugging away, raising a few dollars here and a few dollars there, and in the face of continued discouragement and disapâ€" pointment, they were ableé to groom their showings to the point where the big fellows were forced to sit up and take notice. That being the case, "newspaper mining" is not altogether to be decried. It serves the purpose of maintaining a general public interâ€" est in the industry and especially in the prospecting and developing of new areas. Without that general public interest, which is so largely fostered by the less technical newspapers, the development of our mineral resources would never have reached the point it has today."

Trouble Over Link in Transâ€"Canada Road Two Stretches _ of Transâ€"Canada Highway Still in Hands of Engiâ€" neers and Construction Gangs. "Rocky Tangled Terrain on North Shore. A despatch sent out last week from Toronto refers to the progress on the Transâ€"Canada highway. This desâ€" patch refers to the "rocky tangled terâ€" rain on the North shore of Lake Suâ€" perior.‘" For years past objection has been made by those interested in the Transâ€"Canada highway in reference to the routing of the highway along the north shore of Lake Superior. It has been pointeqg out repeatedly that the cost of the route would be practiâ€" cally prohibitive. However, Hon. Jas. Lyons and his friends at Sault Ste. Marie were able to bring such political pressure to bear that some sort of soâ€" called "compromise" was made whereâ€" by the "rocky road" along the north shore of Lake Superior received some sort of official endorsation. With Hon. Mr. Lyons anda his spporters more or less in the background now since the Ontario elections, there may be a chance for a fair deal for the people in general. Certainly the "rocky tanâ€" gled terrain" along the north shore of Lake Superior is not the proper route for the Transâ€"Canada highway. The difficulties and cost of construction alone are enough to debar the choice of such a route, and there are other valiq reasons to be urged against it. A route further north( travelling about straight west from Hearst seems to be the logical and sensible route. It is believed that such a route was favourâ€" ed by the Dominion Government, but that the Dominion Government took the attitude that the choice of route laid with the Ontario Government. The Sault Ste. Marie interests were able to bring pressure on the provinâ€" cial government in favour of the ‘‘rocky road.""‘ There was attempt to silence opposition in this part of the North Land by having the Ferguson highway appear as part of the Transâ€" Canada highway, but also having what was known as a "compromise" arâ€" rangement that still saddled the Transâ€" Canada highway with a route along he rocky shore of Lake Superior. "There is a road from Nipigon to Port Arthur, while from Port Arthur to the Manitoba boundary only about 30 miles of the highway still remains uncompleted. Work on this section i# being pushed ahead, and it is expeoted that it will be opened by this coming To return to the despatch last week from Toronto, here is what that artiâ€" cle says:â€" Rugged Country Delays Linkâ€"up Transâ€"Canada Highway "The rocky, tangled terrain along the northern shore of Lake Superiot now presents the only obstacle to the completion of the transâ€"Canada highâ€" way from coast to coast. One leg runs from the Soo to White River, noted as Canadas champion cold spot in Winter. The other swings from White River to Hearst. Very little work has been done on either of these stretches yet. ‘"Motorists may now drive from Halifax on the Atlantic coast to a point 45 miles north of Sault Ste. Marie, in Northern Ontario, over reaâ€" sonably good pavement and gravel roads. From there to Nipigon, howâ€" ever, roughly a distance of 300 miles, lies a rugged stretch over which no car can pass. Here are masses of solid rock of all shapes and formations. There are trees and tangled underâ€" growth, ravines, gullies and numerous rivers. Little Work Done Yet "Two legs on this uncompleted Norâ€" thern Ontario section have been surâ€" veyed and the work planned, but when they will be completed is problematical "From the Ontarioâ€"Manitobs bouwun, * *4 * 4 44 3 *4 * 4 #* #* * % #0 * 4 #* *# *# L #0 #4 * * *4 w 4 *4 o. .o e * #0 #4 4 00 * 4 ® #4* #+* 4 #* ® #* $4, * 6 #* * *# * t * #* o. o. ‘00.00‘ *#+ * * 9. o. o. o s .00.00.00‘00. #*4 ..0.00. 4) % “.. 0.00.00 . e e t 00.00.“.00‘ .0.00.0 0. 4 .. *..* .00.0 #+* *4 * + * 4 #* #* * 6 *4 4 *4 % #4 * 6 #4 *% 4 #* ® 4 #4 * % * 4 *+e +. 6 #4 * L3 #0 4 4 #+ $ *4 4 Cad * © *4 ¢ 4 #* * % #* 4 ind 4 #4 ¢, 4 $ *4 4 4 #4 # % ¢+*, 25,000 Work on Highway ‘Twoentyâ€"five thousand bronzed young Canadians are at present enâ€" gaged in pushing forward the transâ€" Canada highway building programme.

Minerals Used in the Manufacture of Glass dary the chain of mtor roads stretches all the way to Vancouver on the Paciâ€" fic coast. the fire. The men under arrest are Joseph Lapjerre, Frank Lalonde, Wm.} Glass, one of the commonest minerâ€" al substances in every day use, proâ€" vides a substantial market for a numâ€" ber of Canadian minerals. The reâ€" quirements for each of these minerals and the way they are used in the manufacture of glass is described in a paper entitled "Minerals and Minerâ€" al Products Used in the Glass Indusâ€" try," by I. L. Sills, of Dominion Glass Company, which appears in the July Bulletin of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Reference was made last week to the $750,000 fire at Austin Nicholson‘s lumber yards, and it was suggested that the fire might have been caused by someone with a grudge against the firm. Since ther five men have been arrested and are being held on vagâ€" rancy charges. They are former emâ€" ployees of Austin Nicholson and are said to have been heard discussing the fire on the train that took the women and children to safety, the five men travelling to safety On this train, it is alleged, while all other available men were busy lending a hand in fighting The chief ingredient of glass is sand, which comprises 70 to 75 per cent. of the mixture of minerals. This has been imported exclusively as a very pure sand is required that is rather rare in nature. Supplies from deposits in Quebec are under developâ€" ment and may be available ir the future in sufficient quantities. Other Canadian minerals used in small amounts are cobalt exide and white arsenic, made at Deloro, Onâ€" tario, and selenium, a byâ€"product of the copper refinery at Copper Cliff. These and other minera:s are used to correct certain colour effects in the glass. The modern glass industry yields a great variety of products, and conâ€" sumes an important annual tonnage of Canadian raw materials Mr. Sills‘ paper gives a good idea of how each of these raw materials is obtained and prepared. FIVE ARRESTED AFTER FIRE AT DALTON LUMBER YARDS The other ingredients of common glass are available in abundance in Canada. With 2000 lbs. of sand there is mixed 600 to 840 lbs. of soda ash, 160 to 250 lbs. lime, 50 to 400 lbs. feldspar and small amounts of other materials. The soda ash is made from salt at Amherstburg, Ontario. It is the maâ€" terial that fluxes the sand, causing it to melt readily. Chemical lime is obâ€" tained from Beachville, Ontario, Joâ€" liette, Quebec, and Lethbridge, Alberâ€" ta. Its function is to make the glass hard and tough. Feldspar is supplied from mines in Ontario and Quebec around Ottawa. Its use tends to make the glass resistent to sudden changes in temperature, as is necessary for instance with milk pottles which are sterilized by boiling water. In referring to the recent death in Toronto of Mrs. H. Levine, The Norâ€" thern News last week says:â€"*"When Mrs. Minniece Levine was buried from Palmerston Avenue Synagogue in Toâ€" ronto last Friday, the last rites were said for a longâ€"time resident of the North and a woman whose warm heart and wide understanding are remembered with real affeetion by all who knew her. She was a real mother to many young men away from home, in the different northern communities where she lived. Ailing for the past five years, the late Mrs. Levine had been unable to get about for the last six months but her passing last Thursday morning was shock. For 25 years the deceased woman had| resided in Northern Ontario,, in Cochâ€" rane, Timmins, Kapuskasing and Kirkâ€" land Lake, where her husband operâ€" ateq men‘s furnishing stores at various times. Left to cherish her memory are her sorrowing husband, Harry Leâ€" vine, at present living in Toronto, and five children, Max, of Kapuskasing, Rose of New York City, Mrs, J.. S.
