While: gold production adqvanced to an allâ€". time record, this was by no means the: most outstanding development of the year from a mining standpoint., Among the real achievements of engineering skill or luck, whichever term is the most fitting, was the discovery of gold depoâ€" sition in formation that formerly was believed to be barren in so far as vaulues of a commercial nature were concerned Another feature of the year‘s special activities was the return to the older gold areas which had been more or less haphazardly explo‘ted in former years. and resulted in the discovery of imâ€" portant and profitable producing mines. New methods of locating goldâ€"bearing formation were devised and proved with remarkable success. While some of the facts referred to above did not altoâ€" gether have their origin in the year just closed, practically all were brought. to a successful conclusion or given a push forward during the gethuer nhnave UThel just closed, to a successful « substantial push twelvemonth. the past year high production increase in prod creas 4460840444484 O:QM ; COAL AND \\'OOD\'.\RDA.\.\'!)

When a charter was granted to The Mutual Life on Dec. 19, 1868, the Company was owned by 500 policyholders. Since then many thousands have taken out membership in the Company and during the year just closed over 16,000 new policies issued have brought the total memberâ€" ship to 155,000. In the intervening years thouâ€" sands of others have received the proceeds of matured policies or death claims. The choice of The Mutual Life of Canada for protection and savings noliâ€" cies by a constantly increasing number of Canadians has resulted in the cloging of each of the past 68 years of business with more insurance in force than at the beginuing of the year. At the present time 1710 Canadians are being given employment by The Mutual Life of Canada â€"710 members of the Head Office and Branch Office staffs, and approximately 1060 repreâ€" sentatives from coast to coast. |IFE m OF SANADA y gold mines of Ontario year registered a new allâ€"time duction.

The success met with in development work at Bidgood Kirkland Mines in 1936, after a numberf of years of discouraging work, created| special interest in the Kirkland Lake, camp and at the same time turned the| eyes of the mining world on the eastern | section of this district. Since Bidgood first announced its high grade strike on the 500â€"foot level, which later was deâ€" veloped on two lower horizons, many old propertes in the immediate vicinity have returned to life and again are under intensive development. . From this eastern section of Kirkland Lake new dovelopments have sprung up OveT a very wide area, both®* farther to the east and to the west beyond the main In addition to the seventeen new producers added during the past year, there are several other companies nearâ€" ing the production stage, scattered from one end of the Province to the other, that will be pouring out their goliden wealth long before the close of the curâ€" rent year, and there is every reason to believe that some of these will reach the big production class and soon be comparable to Lake Shore or Hollinger Mines camp Eomm o d o Properties that were shut down and practically abandoned several years ago when operators were unable to produce ore in commercial quantities have or are being revived, and already a number Of th»se are beginning to take on the appearance of profitable producers. The main feature of this new interest is due to Bidgood whose engineers were successful in locating high values in the diorte formation, whereas previous work largely was confined to the porphyry which was believed to carry the values in the Kirkland Lake area. Bidgood‘s success has not gone unhseded by minâ€" ing engineers, but it has proved the old saying that "gold is where you find it." Formation and geology are imâ€" portant, but in Bidgood geologists and cugineers have learned a * profitable iesgson. East Porcupine Active The Porcupine camp was equally sucâ€" cessful in attracting new attention durâ€" ing the year. Whereas at the beginâ€" ning of 1936 many properties in this field went begging for promotion money and there were no indications that many of the older mines would again be tackled for years to come, well before the close of the year there was a genâ€" eral revival of development, both o.d and new properties participating, and at the end of the period a number of | these were well on their way to proâ€" duction. " The Pamour section, which got ts first real test in Pamour Gold mines by Noranda Mines, was the scene of intenâ€" sive exploration and development up to about the middle of the year, when interest to some extent started to wane. At present, however, several companies are continuing their tests and may equal the success of Pamour in the coming year. â€" The Matachewan attract any special a past year, but it was taining its position a despite the fact ths was closed down. resumed operations part of the year, i ances are forthcom Shmmg Tree, Ramore and Beattyâ€" Munro also received attention, but failâ€" ed to atitract any special interest.
