The prospectors climbed up the ladder onto the platform and spread their blankets, The Scotsâ€" man, superstitious, strangely enough, placed seven candles at intervals around his bedroll. "To keep the ghosts away," he said. â€" Shortly before one the Scot woke his partner. The seven candles around his bedroll were lit.

And the low mutter of an answer, The prosâ€" pectors waited on their shelf in the cabin, certain the door would open and the ghost would enâ€" ter. Nothing happened. Next morning when one prospector went down to the river for water for their coffee he heard a noise on the roof. Turning, he noticed the tar papâ€" er _ on the roof, with a tiny slat on the end of it blowing gently in the wind and rapping gently against the roof. That was the noise they had heard, though it sounded loud in the middle of the night when they exâ€" pected the ghost. Packing their canoe the prospectors went on to: Elk Lake, the farthest prospectors had even ventured up to that time from Cobalt and the closest any had come to the hidden gold mines of the Porcupmn At Elk Lake they met an Indian named Joe Steves, with his squaw. Joe sold them a quarter of moose and in the conversation (which the Scotsman didn‘t hear) the Indian said he had come by the haunted house at one o‘clock the night before and had said to his squaw as they passed, "we get him sure," reforring to tho moose which he had expected to find watering along the shores of Elk Lake in the moonlight. The prospector nevâ€" er told the Scot what he had heard, and ~to this day the Scot still tells the story of the haunited house of northern Ontario. The speaker ascribed the wonrderful achievement of St. Patrick to the fact that he hed given twoâ€"fifths â€"of his life . to preparamm for his great work. "How many of â€"us are ready to give twoâ€"fifths of our lives to help others?" The guest speaker for the day was Rev. Father Murray, of Timmins, end his address was a highlight of a big day. He gave an interesting account of the life of St. Patrick. with many littleâ€"known facts about that missionâ€" ary and his life work. St. Patrick, the speaker said, "was born in 373 A. D. There: was some question as to his birthplace, Dumbarton and Normandy both <claiming the distinction. The probability was that he was a native of Normandy. As a boy of sixteen, St. Patrick had been taken by a group of rovers and sold into slaver y in Ireland. He was seeyn years 2 slave, but in after life, he said that in those years of physical slavery he had won spiritâ€" ual freedom and the earnest zeal to spread the gospel amqng the Irish people. "In one generation," the speaker said, "St. Patrick, without violence or force, turnjed a whole pasan nation to a Christian peovle." When prospecting around Elk Lake they ran into two other prospectors, and over a campiire dinnor one night one of the newcomers said the next time they met him he‘d be wearing the biggest diamond they ever saw. He had a hunch he was going to strike it rich: That was in 1907. In 1909 that prospector discovered the Dome Mine. It was Harry Preston. Years later when the two.ran into each other Harry wore a ring on his finger with the largest diamond he could buy. His hunch had come true. _ so go the stories of the good old prospecting days in Northern Onâ€" lario, Most of the prospectors have little ‘but the stories to tell of the many years they spent searching through the vast wilderness and forâ€" ests in their quest for gold. Some who did make strikes died as poor as the day they went around looking for grubstakes in Cobalt and New Lisâ€" keard. But their search was not withâ€" out gain for now it is estimated that close to 300,000 Canadians depend for their livelihood on Hard rock minâ€" ing.

He pointed out, however, that we could not expect to make Canada x Utopia by legislating a Bill of Rights.

At the outbreak of war, the national need for â€"more gold to take care of purchases abroad: gave gold mining an unprecedented stimulus, with the result that the numbers employed in gold mining rose from 17,000 in 1839 to 25,000 in 1941.. However, from this point on production of base metals for war industries was given priority over gold and large numbers of gold minâ€" ers were directed into base metal mines to assist in the tremendous exâ€" pansion program. Drop In Gold Miners During the next three years, the total employed in base metal mining jumped from the 1939 figure of 20,000 to a peak of nearly 50,000, while the numbers in gold mines dropped from the 1941 allâ€"time high of 25,000 to about 15,000 in 1944. Although employment in hard rock mining is considerably lower than the allâ€"time high reached during the war, the total numbers presently employed in both gold mining and base metal mining are still higher than the highâ€" est preâ€"war figures and there are toâ€" day opportunities for employment in practically every hard rock mine in Canada, Nearly 300,000 Canadians are deâ€" pendent for their livelihood on 44.000 hard rock miners, 19,000 of whom are employed in gold mines. Many of the mines are at present operating at about 60 per cent of their capacity due to the shortage of labour. This is an important industry in which there are plenty of opportunities and jobs for hard ‘rock cminers states a bulletin from the Dominion Department of Labour: Employment |Opportunities Open In Hard Rock Mining With the return of peace, employâ€" ment in gold and base metal production levelled off at points slightly higher than the preâ€"war levels At the beâ€" ginning of 1947, total employment in gold mining stood at about 19,000, 2.000 higher than the highest preâ€"war figure, while the total employed in base metal mines was recorded at 23,000, about 3,000 higher than the preâ€"war peak. The most serious current labour shortages in hard rock mining are to be found in the gold mines, some of which are operating at only about 60â€" percent of their capacity, due chiefly to the scarcity of skilled miners. The scarcity of skilled miners is due in turn to a great extent to the shortage of housing facilities in gold ining communities, since a large proportion of the sklled miners are married men. Some mining companies are carrying out housing projects to relieve this situation, and are being assisted in there efforts by the Dominion Governâ€" ment the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. / Base metal mining communities are generally better off for housing than the gold mining ones, due to the | PROGRESS W.

Durimg the war the numbers of prosâ€" pectors dwindled. due to the fact that young men were not available for this type of work. ; To assist in improving the labour supply of hard rock mines in Ontario and Quebec, the Dominion Departâ€" ment of Labour is presently engaged in recruiting men from areas of surâ€" pilus labour in Nova Scotia â€" mainly in Sydney and New Glasgow coal mining district. Approximately 70 have been brought to Timmins. One of the bright spots of the hard rock mining employment future is in the production of iron ore. Alâ€" though up until now the iron mines of this country have employed only beâ€" tween 600 and 700 men, new deposits have been discovered in North Eastâ€" ern Quebec which when developed are expected to bring Canada‘s iron production rate to a point approaching that of the U.S.A., with a correspondâ€" ing need for workers.

It has been estimated that for the 44,000 engaged in hard rock mining, at least 44,000 more are directly dependent on them for their livelihood, which in terms of population means about 300,000 Canadians.
