In Buffalo embarked during the year. Toronto and Vancouver were particularly enâ€" ergetic in acquiring properties, chiefly gold,: in distant lands. Higher foreign prices for gold, lower operating costs and taxes, and a high measure of govâ€" ernmental> stability: of . policy, invited Canadian mining engineers into many strange corners of the. world, Mrs. Kinkel: was born in Zanesâ€" ville,â€"Ohio on Sept. 30th, 1856. Her father, Dr. August Roeder, was one of the first medical doctors to pracâ€" tice in Omaha, Nebraska, where many of his first patients were the early In 1901 the Kinkel family moved to | Buffalo. Mrs. Kinkel was a frequent i visitor to the Buffalo Ankerite havâ€" ing spent last summer at the mine with her son. She returned to Butâ€" falo last September to celebrate her 90th birthday with her entire family and one great_grandchild. The June production record shows that the Mines milled 645,951 tons of ore, the lowest since February 1947, recovered 168,059 ounces of gold, the lowest since April 1947, 28,817 ounces of silver, the highest since December 196, for a v4alue of $5,898,517 the lowest since April 1947. â€" However, grade of ore at $9.13 was the highest since December 1946., The daily aver._ ageâ€"statistics show that the industry during June milled 21,532 tons of ore, the lowest since January 1947 and recovered 5,602 ounces of gold, the highest sincé June 1943, and 961 ounâ€" ces of silver, the highest since Decemâ€" ber 196 for a value of $1964,617, the highest recorded since November 1943. Berens River Mines Limited whose \last report was received in December 1946, filed production reports again in June 1947 Omega Gold Mines Limited, which had commenced operâ€" ations on February 1, 1936, announced discontinuation of operations on April 30, 1947, and the Jason mine, which reopened in September 1946, closed down in June 1947. The feature of Ontario‘s gold mining industry through the first six months was the inauguration of milling operahons in Ontario‘s first postâ€"war gold mine the Renabie, in the Missanable area. No production return was received for the month of June. Activity, genâ€" erally speaking, has dropped con,_ siderably in so far as prospecting and diamondâ€"drilling are concerned. Lack of <market activity, resulting in a dearth of investment capital, is blam- ed for this condition. During the first half of the year the industry milled 3,937,068 tons of ore containing 982,906 ounces of gold and 139,676 ounces of silver valued at $34,494,566. This represents an inâ€" crease of 9.77 per cent in ore. milled, 13.55 per cent in gold recovery, a decrease of 3 per cent in silver reâ€" covery, and an increase of 3.23 per cent in value. It must be rememberâ€" ed that the price of gold in the first half of 1947 was $15.00 as against $38.50 during the comparable period of 1946.

Until recently she was employed at Queens Park, a job she accepted following the cessation of hostilities. : For three weeks prior to leaving for England she has been visiting her brctherâ€"inâ€"law, Mr. Bert Richards and renewing some of the many friendâ€" ships she made in thk:s town.

Kitty Did Not Stay For Opening Day . _ Whatever the reason there was no sign of "Kitty Skunk‘ on Sunday so perhaps after all she decided that there was not as much to this education business as she thought or maybe Moneta does not have the couxse she wanted to majer in."

It is patent to all how our roads have deteriorated durâ€" ing the enforced stresses of the war years, and how badly in consequence some of them have weathered the past winter. It should not be forgotten in Queens Park that the damage to roads which arises from a policy of negelct is cumulative. Truly where roads are concerned a stitch in time saves nine. A policy of postponing necessary road work is not one of economy; it is one of wild extravagâ€" ance. It must also be borne in mind that if the, North is to be given an even chance to keep their costs at a competitive ‘level transportation costs must be cheap and efficient.
