But such a future for Norâ€" thern Canada was out of the question. Occasionally agriculture was develâ€" oped on the heels of mining. But every mining man in the audience knew that in the preâ€"Cambrian areas, little of the land was suitable for grazâ€" ing purposes. However, there were areas around New Liskeard and Cochâ€" rane where farming could be developed on a fairly extensive scale. And in some areas of the North, the pulp and timber industries would give people something on which to fall back when the mining industry begins to decline. "Tn the past 20 years we have seen expansion in our gold mining industry which could not be equalled anyâ€" where,"‘* Professor Langford declared. "The number of gold mines has inâ€" creased from 13 in 1920 to 65 in 1940. But let us not forget that seven mines which were operating, and are turning out 45 per cent of the gold produced in the province. "@An average of two or three new Feel same Way "©The men who developed the mines which are ghost camps today looked upon their mining industry as subâ€" stantial,‘* Professor Langford continuâ€" ed, "and mining men today feel the same way about the industry of 1941." The speaker declared a more critical examination of the situation should be macde. "@An average of two or three new mines per year have been brought inâ€" to production during the past 20 years, and we can be proud of our achieveâ€" ment. The big mining camps were ready to be given up 10 years ago. The operators were really worried. But between us and Roosevelt we saved the situation for them. We gave the big ‘amps a lease on life. "But if the big camps fade â€" and they will, but not in the near future â€"40 new ones will be required to take their place. At the rate we are bringâ€" their place.

It may include the extenâ€" L on of old mining camps and the reâ€"| 4A uvenation of old mines." Q All Examined Professor Langford emphasized that Sl he most readily available properties mi1ve now been examined. He noted hat in 1930 the Porcupine had only ‘our mines, and today it has 18. Thc‘ lan 1uunber of mines in the Kirkland Lake! W irea had increased from five to 11 dur-' Fu ng the same period. However, Proâ€" de: ‘essor Langford was confident that’ser aew mines would be discovered. tht "We may find another Noranda," hc' F1 aid, "but not another Sudbury Basin. Another Beattie Mine, perhaps, but another Porcupine.

A sleepyâ€"looking steward put his head out of the bathroom door at the end of the passage and saw them. "What‘s the noise about?"â€" asked "It ain‘t nothing!" the steward said. "Only the bath water boiling. I put it on for the officer comin‘ off watch, and I let it heat a bit 400 long!" "Is that all?" said Salt, with a laugh. The steward disappeared, and Bridget suddenly became aware that she was wearing pyjamas. With an embarrassed ‘"Goodâ€"night" Salt turned and went into his cabin.
