Had it not been for the T. ‘ N. O. the precious metal mines of the North would not have been discovered and developed. Of the total silver production of Onâ€" tario since 1904, there were only 48,â€" 558 ounces out of the 420,741,513 ounces produced that had not come from what might be termed T. N. O. territory. The total value of silver produced was $260,000,000.00, and of this 99.98 par cent. was produced in the area made accessible by the T. N. O.

Estimates showed Mr. Longmore added, that Ontario paid 33 per cent. of the Dominion Governâ€" ment‘s revenue. With the above facts and figures as a basis for calculation, Mr. Longmore summarized the benefit to the older part of the province from the gold inâ€" dustry as a whole, for 1933, as follows: Provincial tax, $685,000.00; 33 per cent. of Dominion taxes, $910,000.00; making a total direct tax contribution of $1,â€" 505,000.00. In addition business at From the figures quoted Mr. Longâ€" more estimated that the gold industry of the North had brought to the proâ€" vince business to the exytent of $158 â€" (N0.000.00 since the establishmenit of the raines in the Nortah. Turning to the silver industry, Mr. Longmore said that the cost of producâ€" ing silver at onc of the most successâ€" ful silver minss was approximately 42 cents per ounce. On the accepted basis that 60 per cent. of the supplies and wages went directly into the busiâ€" ness of Ontario silver production was responsible for an additional contribuâ€" tion of $106,000,000.00. Expenditures on plants for the proâ€" ducing gold mines, based on the figures for Porcupine, would amount to $40,â€" 000,000.00. _ Mr. Longmore said that this was a very conservative estimate as it did not allow for the more expensive plants required to treat the more reâ€" fractory ores, nor those plants which were built to carty on development on properties that never reached the proâ€" duction stage. In his summary of the position us he viewed it, Mr. Longmore said that the precious metal mining industry of the area made accessible by the T. N. O. had produced $746,000,000.00 of new wealth, and had turned over $300,000,â€" 000.00 directly into trade and business channels of Ontario. "During 1933," Mr. Longmore told the commissioner, least to the extent of $15,700.000.00 had been carried on with Southern Ontario in 1933 "the precious metal mining industry contributed approximately $3,000,000.00 in taxes, of which over 50 per cent. would apply directly to relieving the (Continued on Page Eight) The latter motion was passed withâ€" out dissent. The retiring fire chief, whose duties will be over for the present here toâ€" day when the new chief takes over, and who is asked to vacate the house occupied by Oct. ist, has had a long and very successful career as fire chief and is known throughout the provincs for his outstanding ability and efficienâ€" cy.. He has been fire chief at Timmins for over 17 years and his notable reâ€" cord is open for all to read. The new chief, Capt. Jeffrey, was apnainted to the paid fire brigade by Chief Borland on March 17th, 1919, having been a volunteer firemen for two or three years previously, joining the volunteer force after Chief Borland took charge of the department. For the past few years he has been one of the captains of the fire brigade and has had considerable valuable expertâ€" ence under Chief Borland.

GOLF CLUB YISIT KTRKLAND The men members of the Timmins Golf Club will play an interâ€"club visit with the Kirkland Lake Club at Kirkâ€" land Lake this weekâ€"end and all memâ€" bers wishing to take part in same are requested to sign the list posted on the bulletin board at the club house so that arrangements can be made for transâ€" portation. A. W. Lang, one of the popular busiâ€" ness men of the town, was rather badly injured in a car accident on Sunday but was able to come home from the hospital yesterday and is now making the best of progress to recovery at his home here. Mr. Lang had been in Kirkland Lake and was driving home to Timmins with George Humphries and Ken Newton who were coming home from Kirkland Lake for the weekâ€"end. Mr. Humâ€" phries was driving the car while Mr. Lang was in the back seat. The washâ€" board condition of the road together with a foggy condition of the weather made driving difficult, the depressions| in the road being aifficult to note on account of the weather conditions. The car was proceeding at about twenâ€" ty miles per hour or iess when a little! north of Monteith the front wheel! struck one of the washboard hollows | mm ons omm mm esmm ons + uy : Judge 101 the Ontar Sillifant J different } and not 0 celled the quite fran mins Hor people of the greate play here. and condi here was every vie possible i1 said, "and accomplis} heads and He sugges and effort so that e accomplis} It was 1 and crashed for the ditch, the car turning over on its side in the ditch. The two in the front seat escaped any injury beyond the shakingâ€"up, but Mr. Lang in the back seat did not fare so well. He was thrown with much force in the turning of the car and his foreâ€" head struck the inside handle of the door. The result was a severe gash in the forehead and a wound requiring several stitches to close. The accident happened about 11.30 Sunday morning and it was 2.30 p.m. before Mr. Lang was able to reach Iroquois Falls hosâ€" pital for treatment. At the he was given the best possible care and attention and speaks in high terms of the kindness shown him there. He was able to return to Timmins yesterday and is now at his home here and is expected to be fully recovered from the accident in a few days.

Forâ€"« _â€"_mer McIntyre Players on Frood Lineâ€"up. â€" Another Game Toâ€"day and Perhaps One Toâ€"morrow. Winner of Series Leaves on Saturday for the E.0.B.A. Finals. The tenth annual exhibition of flowâ€" ers and vegetables on Monday and Tuesday of this year at the Timmins curling rink under the auspices of the Timmins Horticultural Society proved a splendid success. "An outstanding exâ€" hibition" was the description given of Wood Pitches Noâ€"Hit Game to Win First Game for Mclntyre the event by F. E. Sillifant, of Toronto, judge for the horticultural branch of the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture. Mr. Sillifant has been judge at 30 or 35 different horticultural shows this year and not one of them he says has exâ€" celled the Timmins display. He was quite frank in saying that the Timâ€" mins Horticultural Society and the people of Timmins and district deserve the greatest credit for the notable disâ€" play here. Under all the cirecumstances and ccnditions he thought the show here was remarkable from practically every viewpoint. "It shows what is and effort be contin so that even greats accomplished. It was feared that weather would seri show, but while the entries was a little | equalled the and the exhibits th creditable througho way the fear that would spoil the atter to be wrong, big cro each â€" despit crowd The Timmins Horticultural Society show was formally declared open by Dr. S. L. Honey who spoke briefly but inspiringly on gardens and flowers and their community and personal value. F. E. Sillifant, who was the judge for the garden competition and for the show, being one of the regular judges from the Ontario Dept., also spoke, exâ€" pressing both surprise and pleasure at the notable displays of excellent flowers andâ€"vegetables after ‘all the bad weaâ€" ther. Geo. Hogg, secretary of the Timâ€" mins Horticultural Society, thanked Dr. Honey and Mr. Sillifant for their addresses and for their interest, adding a word of thanks also to the exhibitors, directors, oflicers and all others who had helped to assure the success of Last week The Advance noted that McIntyre baseball team had won the T. B. L. championship and were likely to have the Northern Ontario chamâ€" poinship by default and so would leave soon for the East to vlay for the E. O. B. A. championship and The Ottawa Journal cup. That was the way it looked. Word here was to the effect that the Frood baseball team, Sudbury could not arrange the necessary finâ€" ances for a series here and that conâ€" sequently they were dropping out. This week it developed that Frood had reconsidered ang also that they had arâ€" ranged the necessary finances and so ot made 10 the McI terday al victorious scheduled Intyre. game the champion Prood when aid, "and it ccomplished AIM r the on tI at} e atr Tho 1 pi 16 as feared that the unfavourable er would seriously jinjure the but while the actual number of ; _ was a little below last year, it d the previous year‘s number, e exhibits this year were very ible throughout.

The speakers were intro« duced by Geo. Corless, president of the Timmins Horticultural Society. The society is deserving of special praise for the arrangement and layâ€"out of the displays. The general appearâ€" ance of the hall was unusually effecâ€" tive. The tables were cleverly arrangâ€" ed so as to give ample room and at the same time make the most and the best of the displays. Special mention should be made of the display of flowers from the Holâ€" linger. These were not in competition but simply on exhibit to add to the interest of the show. The beautiful array of flowers certainly attracted interest during the show and were a credit to the Hollinger and those reâ€" sponsible for the care and skill that made such a display practical. The music furnished by the Timmins Citizens‘ Band on Monday evening addâ€" ed much to the pleasure of the evening and there were many compliments for the band. Mr. Sillifant, the judge, is so deeply interested in horticulture and has so wide a knowledge of flowers and vegeâ€" tables that his visits here are of special value both in the increasing of inforâ€" ation regarding horticulture and in inspiring renewed interest in garden» and homes. In addition to the exâ€" planations he gave for some of his decisions in the judging, he was ready at all times to give information to members of the seciety and to others in regard to flowers and vegetables. Mr. Sillifant had a special word of praise for the Sisters of St. Mary‘s hospital. Their lawn and flowers and shrubs at the hospital he said was a splendid asset to the town. In addiâ€" tion to winning some prizes in the flower show the Sisters were given the special prize for the garden at the hosâ€" pital. There were so many notable displays at the show that it seems difficult to mention one without special reference to all the others. The full prize list published elsewhere in this issue tells the whole story in detail, but it may not be out of place to note a few outâ€" standing features in addition. For instance, the vegetable display by I. P. Wilson, Golden City deserved the adjective "outstanding" both for setâ€"up and quality. It was a striking proof of what can be accomplished in (Continued on Page Four) the almost perfect performance of ‘Inâ€" ky" Wood, McIntyre moundsman. Starting bad he settled down after the second, when he allowed one run, to pitch perfect ball. His noâ€"hit game is the first to ever have been vlayed in this part of the country and it is cerâ€" bainly a feat to accomplish. Wood has haq several good games this year that were almost converted into noâ€"hit efâ€" forts. _ He held Southampton hitless for six innings and they were supposed to be one of the best teams in Old Onâ€" tario. Frood scored ‘Bhe first run when Wood hit two batters and walked two in the second innings. A. Silver walkâ€" ed in with the forced run that proved to be his team‘s only run. In the fourth innings with Cyboulsky and Wood on bases, "Tun." smashed out his team‘s second hit to score both runs. "Tup" is usually a weak hitter and his timely single was welcome aithqugh quite unexpected. Two hits, an error and a walk gave the Mac‘s another run in the sizth, Cowden scoring it. The seventh saw McIntyre score ‘their last run thrugh Cowden‘s walk and Cyboulsky‘s single to right. Monoghan worked almost as hard as Wood for the noâ€"hit â€"game, judging from the way he was spearing the drives thate came his way.
