The same comment applies to airplanes which are operated by independent companies. The mines rarely ‘buy their own equipment, preferring to leave haulage to independent organizations which are expert in the work. It might be emphasized that the new, developing mines expend large sums for machinery and supplies, as well as freighting and labour. Each property, as it passes from the surface prospectâ€" ing and diamond drilling stage, requires extensive mining plant, including steam boilers, hoists, compressors, rock drills, etc., as well as building supplies. The following is a classification of expenditures by the Ontario metal mines and represents the expenditures of producing properties only in 1934. If purchases by the large number of properties in various stages of developâ€" ment and purchases by the nonâ€"metalâ€" lic mines were added, the total would be very substantially increased. (By G. C,. Batiman, Secretary, Ontario Mining Association) The money spent by mining comâ€" panles is an important contribution to our national economy.

The mention of a figure like $60,000,â€" 000 in connection with the activities of the metal producing mines of a single province may fail to convey the true value of the mining industry to this province and dominion.

To the everyday reader of mining news it must be obvious that there are literally hundreds of properties which have reached varying stages of developâ€" ment. In Ontario alone the number exâ€" ceeds the hundred mark and such acâ€" tivities extend from coast to coast. Equipment which the young mines buy covers a fairly wide range. Steam boilers, hoists, compressors, buckets and cages, mine track, steel, drilling maâ€" chines and accessories, piping, building material and food supplies comprise the bulk of their buying. All of this material, shipped as a general rule to remote points on the railways, adds to the sum total of freight charges apâ€" plicable to the mining total. 32, Flotation reagents, $256,954. 33. â€"Cyanide and cyanide plant chemiâ€" cals, $725,663. 34.

"How ~the firefly can radiate ‘cold light,‘ free from the enormous amount cf heat which is present in all manâ€" made sources of light, is a problem which has baffled science for many years, and its solution will revolutionâ€" ize our lighting industry," concludes Dr. Parlin. Dr. Parlin, in his intensive work on the insects, â€" has used. an enormous amount of delitate scientific equipâ€" ment, photo>â€"electric cells, amplifiers, delicate galvanometers of the ballistic type, and.specially designâ€" ed heat indicators. $ One interesting bit of history in conâ€" nection with lightning bugs is the acâ€" count of an emergency operation perâ€" fcrmed My Colonel Gorges in the Spanâ€" ish American war, who had a bottle full of the insects collected and used the improvised bulb to light the scene. The records don‘t tell whether or not the operation was a succéss. a large number of air tubes. When the firefly is stimulated or excited, air Tich in cxygen is reieased by these tubes and a slow combustion or oxidaâ€" tisn takes place. Just how this oxidaâ€" tion is performed with practically the minimum of heat, is the big puzzle. Where the bug is 95 per cent. efficient in the matter of producing light from the energy available, man‘s best atâ€" tempt is less than one per cent. efficient. When some scientist gets down to the bottom of the n#ystery and finds out how the firefly does its lighting act, the likelihood is that lighting bills will go down. It may not be even as simple as that, for even if the light could be produced artificially as efficiently as the bug does, the colour of the light would hardly be suitable. It‘s a sort of unpleasant green and tends to give wrong impressions. equal to about oneâ€"fifteen hundredths of that of a standard candle. So, if you could muster fifteen hundred fireflies and persuade them all to exude light at the same moment, there would result an amount of light approximately equal to that given by a standard candle. to that given by a standard candle. That‘s hardly the point of the invesâ€" tigation though. The serious problem is just how the little insect manages to produce a light at all, and this is about as far as they‘ve got now. The last two segments of the body of the bug consist of fatty tissue containing The common ordinary firefly is the particular one Dr. Parlin treats in a recent article on the subject, "How Bright is a Lightning Bug?" He finds, for instance, that the average lightâ€" ning bug or firefly produces a light By "Shakes" The chap who wrote the song about "Glow little glowâ€"worm, twinkle, twinâ€" kle." might have added a few lines about the 95 pre cent. efficient light if he had lived toâ€"day. That‘s what W. A. Parlin, Th.D., professor of physics, Dickinson college, Carlisle, Pennsylâ€" vania, says as a result of his recent inâ€" vestigation into the subject of insects giving off light.

Not only \has it served the district well, but it thas also been a great asset to the proâ€" ’vince of Ontario and the Dominion as a whole. All signs seem to point to a 'brilliant future for the district with greatly increased opportunities for serâ€" | vice on the part of the railway. The inding of copperâ€"nickel ore, high in platinum, near Temagami, the revival ‘of a market for cobalt ores, the high §price of silver, the discovery of barite land asbestos deposits near Matacheâ€" ‘wan, all point to further pioneering Iwork for the railway. "The T. N. O. countrty is served with ample supplies of power by the Northern Ontario Power Company, the Northern Quebec Fower Company, and the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission. 'quantities of timber are used annually by the mines and during 1934 the three [camps of Kirkland Lake, Porcupine land Sudburly used timber products to lthe value of $2,500,000. Mining is Paramount "When the reasons for building the T. N. O. Railway were being enumâ€" erated, mining was mentioned as A possibility but only in a perfunctory manner. The unexpected, however, has happened, and the mining industry easily takes first place in this district as it also does in the whole of the proâ€" vince. During the past ‘thirty wears the mines of the country served by the T. N. O. Railway have produced gold and silver to the value of $840,000,000 and the gold output has not yet reachâ€" ed its maximum. The high price of gold is stimulating the gold mining inâ€" dustry and new mines may be expected to come into production from time to time to swell the golden harvest. | â€"‘"The farming population is about 20,000 in a total of 140,000. Nevertheâ€" less, the farmer in this district only isecures about 10 per cent. of his posâ€" | sible market. The locally produced \potatoes equal the imported article and yet during 1934 the railway brought in seven million pounds of potatoes from outside points. Fresh meats to the extent of 13 million pounds were also imported, as well as large quanâ€" tities of cured meats, fresh vegetables ’and grains. With proper organization and coâ€"operation, the farmers along lthe T. N. O. Railwaly could supply further meats, potatoes and other vegeâ€" tables to the local population to the value of $2,000,000. Herein lies the possibility of expansion in agriculture.i Forest Products | "Another industry that was considâ€" ered when the T. N. O. Railway was projected was lumbering. The value of forest products sent out over the railway in 28 years amounted to $250,â€" 000,000, half of which amount was made‘ up of paper. Newsprint became the leading forest product with the openâ€" ing of the Abitibi Mill in 1920; Large repared "Before reaching the "Clay Belt" one of the richest and most remarkable silâ€" iver districts in the world was found at 'Cobalt. and a few years later the gold |camps of Porcupine and Kirkland Lake .and the goldâ€"copper district of Northâ€" western Quebec were added. These mining discoveries had the effect of changing the original colonization proâ€" ject which under ordinary conditions would have been a provincial liability for many years, into an enormously valuable Provincial and Dominion asâ€" set. Thus, for instance, the producâ€" tion of over a million dollars in gold every seven days from the country servâ€" d by the T. N. O. Railway has been the mainstay of our commercial strucâ€" ture and credit during the recent deâ€" pression. If it had not been for this outpouring of gold, Canadian Govâ€" ernment bonds, instead of selling only a few points below par would likely have dropped to fifty cents on the dolâ€" lar, as happened to the bonds of some of the other large British Dominions.
