In 1934 the mine. taxes amounted to $6,800,000 and in 1937 they were doubled to $13,665,000. «In 1931 the taxes represonted 33 conts per ton of ore and in 1937 this figure stood at $1.35 per ton. .The payrcll of the mines has increased from $13,000,000 in 1930 to $26,000,000 in 1937. Hon. Paul Leduc, Minister of Mines for Ontar‘o, stated he would rather see no further mine taxes imposed but more mines be employed, so that people living outâ€" side the camp arae would also benefit through receiving employment. Mine taxation should certainly be stabilized so as to give assurance to the towns where mines are already established. The taxes received from mines, to my way of thinking, are not fairly uted. 72 per cent. of the mine taxaâ€" tion goes into the Federal treasury, 21 per cent, to the province and 7 per cent. to the municipality. I hope, afâ€" ter the Rowell Commission: report is studied the Federal Government. wil see eye to eye with us and agree to give a greater portion of this taxation over a greater portion of this taxation over to the province and municipalities so that more can be done in the way of development." In this North Country much money has to be spent on roads, paving streets and general municipal improvements.

If1_â€"fA (From Bowmanville Statesman) In the next week or two we hope to tell something of Northern hospiâ€" tality, of our trip down the Hollingr 3800 feert into the bowel of the earth, of our visit to Iroquois Falls where the great Abiitbhi Power and Paper Company plaht is located; of our reception at Kirkland Lake and our trip through the refinery of the Lake Shore Mine., Canada‘s richest producer. We hope to tell you of the psople we met, of the good times we had, and of northern weather condiâ€" tions, but above all we want to tell you of the needs of this great hinterâ€" land of Ontario, andâ€" of the tremenâ€" dous problems confronting the municiâ€" palitiss of the North. Then and only then, when we have an lunderstanding Phot Ive own ofTiâ€" in health to reaâ€" n Onâ€" rn Onâ€" in the underground in the Hollinger Go!ld Mine, the largest in the North Country. Another event in Timmins was the opening of that city‘s fine new municiâ€" pal building. The Porcupine Advance published an ingenious tabloid special edition to commemorate the visit of the delegates. (From Mount Forest Confederate) On arrival at Timmins the party was taken in charge by George Lake, proprietor of The Porcupine Advance and the Board of Trade of the city and were taken by several cars and couâ€" ple of buses to the Hollinger Mins, probably one of the most famous here. Nearly all of our party donned mining suits and made a thrilling descent of 3800 feet into the workings of the shaft and its ramifications. They were underground two or three hours, and had a thrilling and unique experience which some of us were rather sorry to forego as too strenuous. Instead we bad the compensation of drive about the mines and the city. We were taken to the vast sand deposits some miles away whence goodâ€"sand is conâ€" veyed by large buckets suspended on cables to the mine, where it is used for filling up the cavities made by the miners as they take out the ore, thus lessening the danger of falling in of rock. We were taken also to vast mounds in another direction to whimh the waste rock is piped from the mill, when all the available gold has been crushed and washed and chemicaily treated out of it. Still as much as $4 worth per ton is left in it. So the vast pile of refuse may still contain milâ€" lions of dollars worth of gold. (From Bancroft Times) Expressions of surprise and admiraâ€" tion were heard as the delegation stepped off the Northland train Friâ€" day morning and its members caughi their first glimpse of Timmins. Many of the party, who had admitted that they had pictured Timmins as a someâ€" what scattered mining town were asâ€" tonished by the size of the town, the well planned streets, and the settled appearance and atmosphere of the community. golf club. A drive around the ci showed everyone the lay of the lar and introduced them to the famo northern landscape, of long distan views of scrub wilderness with only ¢ necasional distant mine shaft mind the viewer of the reason civiliz: tion has poked its head into this no thern land. "We had heard a lot about Timmics and came north to prove that all thes> good things they said about your town were true," commented one newspaperâ€" man. One look at the town was enough to convince every member of the party. (From Lachute, Que., Watchman) "A dream come triue," might well be the title of our story, for we have for years awaited the opportunity to visit the ever developing North Country, and see where and how the precious gold is mined. How was it discovered? Wellâ€" less than 30 years ago a prospecior, Preston, poking around the bush, skidâ€" ded. His hobâ€"nailed heels ripped through a sheath of top soil to the rock. This showedâ€"gold! Thus the great Dome mine at Porcupine was discovered. In the same year, in 1909, another prospector, Benny Hollinger, sat on a rock and tore idly at nearby mass. A large piece came away in his hands.â€"Again â€" gold. Thus was found the great Hollinger. Then came the MciIntyre, third of the big Porcupine three. So these miaes have been discovered and produced and while containing money it must not be forgotten that it also takes plenty to run them. Toâ€"day it takes something like a million dollars to develop, euip and start a property. . Yes, it is a gamâ€" ble .so is practically everything else.
