No loss of ore is but it meanrs more forward development so that ore extraction can be slowed down. A smaller current production is offset by an ext@nded mine life.

Though his address was inâ€" tended for the technical mining man, much in it is of interest to mine shareâ€" holiders. Expenditure on new construction to Sept. 30 totalled $248,340, with further expenditures on mill and plant estiâ€" mated at approximately $110,000. Net current assets as of Sept. 30, after alâ€" lowing for all payables, including diviâ€" dend, were $201,017. New High Record Set by Youngâ€"Davidson in Third Quarter Fizures for the first nine months of this year show gross output at $1,180,â€" 370 from 279,728 tons for an averaz? of $4.21 zer ton, operating profit being $355,425. In the comparable period of 1939 gross was $1,0863,517 from 282,599 tons for an average of $3.76, with operâ€" ating costs of $724,281 and operating profit of $399,237. Without minimizing rock bursts in Ontario, the experts apparently has found no cause for alarm here. He does not anticipate bursts on a scale that would result in great losses. Planned mining had helped cantrol rock bursts elsewhere‘ and would no doubt do so here. Youngâ€"Davidson Minecs, Matachewan district, experienced excellent results in the three months ended Sept. 30, 1940, figures released by President Welâ€" don C. Younz reveal. The quarter was the best ever experienced by the comâ€" pany, and included the best month‘s results in the company‘s history, that being in August, when about 45 per cent of the quarter‘s profit was realizâ€" ed. > Good grade of Oore milled was reâ€" sponsible for the excellent showing. Resovery for the quarter averaged $4.53 per ton, and was up to $4.95 in August. Gross for the quarter was $423,420 â€" from 93,250 tons milleéd. Operating costs were $278441, and operating profit $144,979. This comâ€" pared with second quarter results of $413,899 gross from 93,711 tons for an average of $4.42, when opsrating zosts were $2598,899 and operating profit was $143,999. Broulan Porcupimne Had Best Quarter in Its History Broulan Porcupine Mines, Porcupine district, had its best quarter on record in the months ended Sept. 30, net proâ€" fit before allowance for taxes being $153,373, or 5.7 cents per share, comâ€" pared with $147,834, or 5.5 cents a share in the preceding three months. This brings total for thefirst nine months of the year to $398,590, before taxes, or 14.8 cents per share. Production for the quarter was $296,â€" 575 from 27,013 tons for an averaze of $10.88 per ton, compared with $291,577 from 26,634 tons and an average of $10.95, making nineâ€"month gross of $826,711 from 80,218 tons for an averâ€" age of $10.31. Operating costs were reduced to $4.48 from $4.58 a ton, the nineâ€"month figure being $4.52 Initial dividends of three cents paid Sept. 30 was within twentyâ€"four months from start on clearing bush preparatory to shaft sinking and withâ€" in eleven months from start of milling operations. During this period, earnâ€" ingzs were sufficient to cover the diviâ€" dend and pay for cost of a new mill and plant. It is anticipated the 300â€"ton mill will begin operations late in October, and should handle a fair volume Oof proâ€" duction during November. Production will be continued in the leased Mace mill until the company‘s own mill is in full operation. Produced $423,420 in . Last Three Months. | Production for Past Three Months was $296,575. {(From Northern Miner) Last week Toronto mining men at a meeting of the local branch Oof the CLM.M. heard a lecture on rock bursts by a world awthority, R. G. K. Morriâ€" son, who was brought to Canada, by the Ontario Mining Association to study the problem in Ontario mines. His advice will no doubt go a long way toward alleviating the probiem in this country.
