Saturday I briefly surveyed the mines that are producing, or that. soon will be producing. But in addition to these mines there are a number of claims that there is good reason to believe will be mines some day. Those who own claims in Matache- won with real showings are a pretty canny lot; not at all like the tradition- al gold mine owner who goes around boasting about his claims. That is perhaps why so little has been heard of Matachewan while so much has been heard of some other areas. Another Letter on Mataehewan Affairs Everywhere one goes in Matachewan he hears the same storyâ€"“I think I got a mine here." Last week The Advance published a despatch from Matachewan sent from that centre by Ross Harlmess of The Sudbury Star and dealing with the camp and its prospects, the view being largely based on the active properties of the area. A second despatch from Mr. Harkness published last week deals with the smaller and lesser-known pro- perties and is of special interest. Part of the despatch follows:â€" Great Faith in Matachewan Matachewan, Aug. 1.â€"â€"“I think I got a mine here." ' 30.th of Some of the Prospects in the New Camp. Evidences of Faith in the Camp and its Mining .Pmlbillties. PAGE 81X FLAT OR AUTOMATIC BOOK 1 E T Among the most extensive properties CIGAREHE PAPERS MILEAGE ONLY MAPLE LEAF BACON DATED Two veins were previously found, 16 feet, wide at, the showing, containing free gold. Samples taken from these veins, which did not contain free gold assayed $213.15 and $52990 per ton, mgr such shqwingg are extremely rare. There is no need, however, to send outgfor men, because a. sufficient num- ber to meet immediate needs comes in “on spec." Lack of a railway has pre- vented an influx such as many other Northern Ontario camps experienced. though many have hitch-hiked in. Without the feverish activity that featured many other mining camps At the present time close to 1,000 men are working on all the properties in the district, and that number is being constantly increased as financ- ing is arranged. Operation of the Young-Davidson mill, which will pos- sibly commence this month. and con- struction of the Matachewan Consoli- dated (Ventures) mill will mean more employment. Margo Mines Margo Mines’ 40 claims show a con- tinuation of the Young-Davidson break with red porphyry of a similiar type. Development work is under way by Matachewan Pioneer Syndicate; Baden Syndicate is said to have good show- ings north of Arbade Mine. Prospect- ing is being done by McCollam Gold Mines heal the Ashley Mine. Centifal; Manchewan also reports fine showings with values ranging from $8.40 to $190 a ton. They have done considerable diamond drilling and sur- face work. About three weeks ago the Woman River Syndicate, north of Matachewan, on the Montreal River. in Baden town- ship, made what they claim were ex~ ceptionally good finds. The most re- cent vein discovery, east of the Mata- chewan River, is reported to be a foot wide on surface, widening out to three feet. and showing heavy mineraliza~ tion. The syndicate believes it to be the most promising yet found in Ma- tachewan. George Tough Sunday morning show- ed me some fine looking samples tak- en from York Mines claims, where he has a gang of 12 men surveying and sinking surface pits. Mr. McNeeley is also interested in this property. It is believed to be on the same break as Matachewan. Assays had not been made when I was there 10 days ago, but he was sending some beauti- ful samples of arsenical ore. The L. 8. United mines property comprises some 800 acres. The veins are not spectacular, but in Mr. McNeeley's words, look good. “It is practically identically the same as the Beatty vein," he said. “and I’m very much mistaken if I haven’t got a mine here." CANADA PACKERS LIMITED Mr. McNeeley has a gang of 10 men stripping and blasting on L. B. United Gold Mines, about 1 1-2 miles north- West of Young-Davidson property, but about 3 1-2 miles from Young-David- eon shaft. Five veins have been locat- ed. Numbers 1 and 2 veins are re- spectively 20 and 15 feet wide and have been traced for about 1,000 feet. Num- bers 3, 4 and 5 veins have not been opened yet. in the aura are those controlled by W. J. McNeeiey and George Tough. both prominent mining men whose names arch-borne by more than one likely pro- perty in different Canadian mining regions. Identical To Beatty HOUSANDS of motorists across Canada are finding that Dominion Royals have still plenty of safe anti-skid left after 20,000 miles or more. The secret of this safe, extra mileage is the TEMPERED RUBBER treadâ€" Railway Unnecessary And speaking of the railway. I asked several mining men if they expected the T. N. 0. would extend into their district. “There is no need for a rail- way," they answered unanimously. “Our product, gold, goes out in small parcels in a hand bag and anything we have to import can be more cheap~ ly and rapidly brought in by truck." Even the heavy mining equipment for their mills and shafts was brought in by truck. But that road is one of the grievances of Matachewan. They wanted it to go direct to Swastika and Kirkland Lake, which is just 30 miles across country as the crow flies. Instead, for some reason, the Department of Northern Development built the road to Elk Lake, 35 miles, where it is still 30 miles or more from the Ferguson highway. Thus, instead of being 30 miles from Kirkland Lake, by road, Matachewan is 95 miles. The Matachewan mines get most of their supplies from Kirk- land Lake firms, and Kirkland Lake trucks bob in and out of Matachewan daily. but it’s a long haul. It also means that freight has to come to Elk Lake, and freight service on the Elk Lake branch of the T. N. 0‘ has to be experienced to be believedâ€"so they say. They point to the fact that Hollin- ger, Ventures, Mining Corporation, and other “big shots" in the mining industry are in the field. and com- ment that it must be more than just a “gamble" when such concerns invest. The Ontario government, they remind. built an excellent highway, at a cost of several thousand dollars. to Mata- chewan from Elk Lake, giving them direct connection with the Ferguson highway at New Liskeard. and has a staff keeping the road in good condi- tion. Evidence of Faith For confirmation they point to the confidence of government and indus- try in the future of the field. The On- tario Hydro-Electric Power Commis- sion spent half a million dollars to make power available for Youngâ€" Davldson and Matachewan or any other mines in the area, Consolidated, bringing a line down from Iroquois Falls, the Northern Canada Power Co. built a plant on the Montreal River where they are developing power for Ashley Gold Mines. in their boom days. Matachewan yet radiates a spirit of confidence that is infectious. They discount wild state- ments that Matachewan will be great- er than Porcupine or Kirkland Lake, but at the same time say “it is pos- sible." CPJ'M m 903mm ADVANCE. TIMM'INS.

The meals abound in summertime fruits and vegetables to regulate and tone up the system. Plenty of energy is stored in them because of the generous use of cerealsâ€"the crisp, ready-to-eat kind that nourishes you but keeps you cool. The quart of milk per day that each of us needs is there, part of it tucked away in sauces, desserts, beverages, bread, cheese. The proteins appear m the form of eggs, milk, cheese, meat, fish and vegetables. There is fat to keep you satisfied and happy, but not enough to make the meals over-heat- mg. Nut Bread Warm weather is the time for us who live in a four-season climate to get out-ofâ€"doors. We go in for sports. We get enthusiastic about games. con- tests and plans for trips and outings. All of these things take energy and we get energy only from the food we eat. It is a fact that some of us are just starved to death on the very hottest days. We may have a guilty feeling about it. but we are really hungrier in summer than during any other time of the year. appetites or read about, suggestions for light summer meals to tempt those who must. be coaxed along until {all frosts bring bigger appetites?

The board, at the instance of Mr. Brotherston will study the district tou- rist situation; and a committee will visit theiakes and other summer ne- sorts of the immediate vicinity. Alderman J. H. Simpson supported the resolution. He also believed the time opportune for an appeal to the government. No Time Like Present “Yes, and tell him definitely." added Mr. Leak, “that he promised us the road and there is no time like the pre- sent. The hunger strikers say they want work and here would be an op- portunity to give them work." President Youngs reported action had been urged by W. E. Mason. “Per- sonally. I think it is a good idea." he observed. “We know what the advan- tages of the road would be to Sudbury: And Mr. Mason flew over the area re- cently and reports it as flat and level and suitable for the construction of a highway." B. S. Leak, reminded: “Mr. Lapierre. I understand, promised us the road to Timmlns before the election.” S. B. Brotherston moved the president write to Mr. Lapierre, requesting him to take action as speedily as circumstances will allow. The president. E. Riley Youngs, was instructed at a special session of the board’s executive council to communi- cate with E. A. Lapierre, sitting mem- ber of the Ontario Legislature. and ascertain from him the government's atttude on the subject. also to urge early action. Backs Timmins Road Project The campaign for construction of a highway north from Sudbury to Timmlns was revived by the Sudbury board of trade yesterday afternoon. Budbury board of trade is active again in urging the building of a road to connect Sudbury and Porcupine mining camps. The air service between Porcupine and Sudbury camps has shown the value of the proposed road- way. not only to the two camps but also to the country in general. The Sudbury Star on Wednesday of last week published the followlng account of a board of trade meetlng ln Sud- bury:â€" Sudbury’s Board of Trade Urging Road Wlll Ask Member for Legislature to Sponsor Plan of Road Connect- in; Tlmmlns and Sudbury.

Mr. Brotherston contended the var- ious resorts of this region are not pro- perly advertised. are not known to the tourists and frequently to the citizens themselves.

Advertisement: The Northern News last week says: “A pony which will be given away in a coming ”draw” was being kept at Ken- ogami Lake until such time as its owner was decided. The other day‘he dis- appeared, and though searchparties went out after him, and the country was fairly well covered, the animal was nowhere to be seen. It began to look as if a new one would have to be ordered, or some other prize substitut- ed. Almost a day later, word was re- ceived from Kirkland Lake that a pony answering the description of the lost one had been seen wandering around Main street. Its owner could not be located here and it was finally recog- nized as the “draw” pony. As far as it is known the animal had never been to Kirkland Lake before. but he must have been city bred, for he made straight for the bright lights and seemâ€" ed quite content to be roaming the streets.” PONY DID NOT WAIT FOR THE DRAW IN THIS (‘ASE F.
