As an educational trip. as well as one for pure enjoyment, a tour through the North cannot be surpassed. This is the view of C. E. McTavish. general sales manager. General Motors Pro- ducts of Canada.

Along with R. D. Kerby, zone manager, To- ! ronto, and C. E. Hebert. Toronto man- 'ager General Motors Acceptance Cor- I I poration. Mr. McTavish made a flying visit to General Motors dealers in the area between North Bay and Hearst. and North Bay to the 800, and brought back enthusiastic reports. The most important mineral used in making pulp and paper is sulphur. and this is still almost entirely imported. though a native supply of ample pro- portions is now available. For 2 1-2 years the St. Lawrence mill at Three Rivers has used exclusively Canadian sulphur obtained as a.by-product in the form of pyrite from the Eustis and other mines. This has been used at a substantial saving in cost compared with imported sulphur. though it has no tariff protection. and Mr. Freeman predicts that its use will be extended rapidly to other mills. effecting a sub- stantial saving to themselves as well as aiding the national economy by using a home product. q. : ILLUIvaI IIIVIULII uunm mu LIIVIIILU ACCIDENT TO LISKEARD MAN!

Horace Freeman. who is re- search chemist for one of the large paper companies. discusses 'the miner- als used in the pulp and paper industry and brings out some very interesting points. He notes. for instance. that there is an important deposit of china clay in Quebec which may be drawn upon in place of importing china clay. large-scale trials with the Canadian mineral now being under way. Simi- larly the former substantial imports of alum used in making paper have been much reduced by bringing in the raw material. bauxite. from British Guiana and treating it here with Can- adian-made acid. With regard to automobile business in the North, Mr. McTavish said it was improving year by year. Dealers at Sudbury. Kirkland Lake and Timmins had a surprisingly high volume of sales this year. Mr. McTavish believes this business is due to increase still further because roads are being improved rapidly. In the nature of the country‘s and more commercial cars. as well as passenger automobiles, will be used. The season's business upturn is well reflected by the fact that in some cen- tres there was a definite shortage of used cars. The pulp and paper industry is a good customer of the Canadian mineral in- dustry. bringing each year several mil- lion dollars worth of mineral products largely of Canadian origin. Soapstone. limestone. sandstone and salt cake, for instance. are all drawn from local sources: the coal comes mainly from mines in this country: and Canadian sulphur is beginning to be used for sulphite pulp. ”My views of the greatness of the northern area were completely con- firmed," said Mr. McTavish. “The farmers of the Clay Belt were busy and optimistic; the pulp and paper industry seemed to show signs of improvement. As for mining. I can only say that it is impossible to measure the under- ground wealth. i had a glimpse of the "Glory Hole” of the Hollinger Mine and I recommend it as a cure for any- one who might be suflering from blues of any kind about the Dominion of Canada. “It is no wonder the towns and cities of Northern Ontario are bustling cen- tres. The street traffic and the rush in the stores of merchants generally simply reflect the progress that the mining country is making year by year. It was my privilege to be in Timmins on the day three of the big mining companies happened to have a simul- taneous payroll distribution, and I will not soon forget the effect on business created by the payment of wages totalling half ‘a million dollars in a comparatively small area." “I met a number of travellers in other lines of industry." concluded Mr. McTavish. “and they all reported busi- ness excellent in the North."

Janadian Sulphur for Canadian Paper Mills is still owing and on the advice of the company's solicitors the directors have agreed to the action which the share- holders are being called upon to ratify. Conservatory of Music Prepares for Reopening Up to the time negotiations were entered into with Porcupine Goldfields Development and Finance Co. there was never at any time sufficient money in the treasury to take care of the above mentioned payments. During the negotiations with' Porcupine Gold- fields that company insisted that the the delbts must be reduced to $10,000 and H. H. Sutherland and J. S. Qualey agreed to accept 10.000 shares each as payment, and Porcupine Goldfields agreed in the option that was executed to pay $10,000 to Matachewan Rand. Later, Porcupine Goldfields went in- to liquidation and until recently there was no satisfactory evidence as to whether this latter amount was ever paid.. However, Matachewan Cana- dian's auditors have reported that it OOzOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOQ§OQ OOOQgOzOzOOOizOOzOO: §§§§9002 In a letter accompanying the notice of the meeting. W. J.

Sutherland certain mining properties in 1922 it was agreed that part of the consideration to be paid Matachewan Rand was $10,000 in cash. It was further provided that this amount was to be paid as, if and when the treasury of Matachewan 'Cana- dian was sufficiently financed to take care of (a) the payment to Matache- wan Rand; (b) a further $10,000 (being also unpaid purchase money) to H. H. Sutherland; (c) a payment of $17,500 to Joseph S. Qualey personally and as syndicate manager. The Qualey moneys were owing for advances made for the benefit of the company and for properties which had been acquired and which were subsequently conveyed to the company.

Timmins just had more taxis than Kirkland Lake. Comparisons are made almost daily of these two mining camps. Timmins claims a. much larger payroll; Kirkland Lake claims Gan- ada's greatest producer; and so on ad infinitum. But the two little girls continued in peace and amity, con- tent that the theatre accommodation of the two camps was the same. but that the taxis in Timmins took the cake." The following paraygraph is from The Northern News of Kirkland Lake and will amuse many as touching on the attitude of even the children to the friendly rivalry between places like Kirkland Lake and Timmins. The Northern News item says:â€" “Two little girls. about five years of age, were walking down Prospect ave- nue last Sunday. One of them was evidently a visitor in Kirkland Lake. for, said she to hercompanion, “How many shows are there here?" “Two," replied the first little girl, “But we've got more taxis in Timmins." With an obvious lack of community spirit, the second little girl let this remark pass unnoticed.

These gold mines and others in Brit- ish Columbia. as well as the promising gold areas round about them, are dis- cussed in the August bulletin of the Canadian Institute of Mining 8:. Metallurgy in a paper by Victor Dol- mage. of Vancouver. As a former offi- cer of the Geological Survey of Can- ada, Dr. Dolmage gained a wide know- ledge and a balanced VICW of the pro- vince‘s gold areas, and these he had employed in composing the present summary of their features. From the evidence thus adduced, one can con- clude that lode mining of gold in Brit- ish Columbia is now only well started, and that in time it will become even more important than the placer gold mining of the famous 01d Cariboo and other placer fields of the province.

On the other hand a road between Timmins and Sudbury would advant- age the three camps concerned and the whole North as well. It is not correct to suggest that connection between Timmins and Matachewan by road would benefit only Timmins. It would certainly be a great advantage to Ma- tachewan. It Would place that camp in close touch with a large centre fully equipped to supply the needs 0f mines and prospects at short notice F01 many years Timmins has been the centre for supplying mines. prospecâ€" tors, lum'bermen. etc., for a wide dis- trict. Further. it may .be said that in the advocacy of the Sudbury-Porcu- pine road little thought has been given to the advantage of connections to To- ronto and other points south. though this of course has some advantage. The chief thought, however. has been the opening up of the country south of Timmins. There is reason to be- lieve that the Timmins-Sudbury road would not be long built before there would be other important camps de- veloped along the route.

That. of course. would be an advantage for those camps. but it would mean full construction of the whole stretch of road. The omer plan makes use of existing roads and also serves a large number of new camps and prospective new campsl The suggestion of branch roads to feed‘ the main road shows that a straight-' line road does not fill the need. The more The Advance considers the ques- tion the more it seems to be established that what is neededâ€"and badly need-' edâ€"for the deveIOpment of the rich area between Porcupine and Sudburyi is a road to connect the two camps. ‘ There have been a number of com- ments in outside newspapers in regard to the resolution passed at the town’ council asking for the resignation of Fire Chief Box-land. In this connection The New Liskeard Speaker says:â€" “Quite a sensation will be caused and no little regret expressed when the news becomes generally known, that Fire Chief Alex Borland. of Tim-' mins, and formerly of Cobalt, has been suddenly removed from his position by the Timmins council.

Timmins always stood first with Fire Chief Boriand. Chief Bor- iand was always a fighter, and he al- ways tought for Timmins regardless.
