varying out the insturetions of Mr.
Justioo Wright, declared a majority

Toronto, Dec.23.-As far as
George Spotton, the Conservative
candidate, is concerned, the fight fur
possession of the federal . seat of
North Huron ended to -day with the
decision of Judge Lewis in the recount
declaring J. W. King. Progressive
candidate, elected. In an interview
here tonight, Mr. Spotton stated that
the matter was closed.

Ottawa. Dec. 24. -Inasmuch as
there is no machinery provided for in
the dominion elections or House of
Commons acts to denitely deal with
the tangle which occurred in the
North Huron election dispute, the
House of Commons may be called

the Progressive candidate, or George
Spotton, the Conservative candidate,
will take his seat after the opening of
the session.
Mr. Spotton was initially gazetted

Value of Production of Ontario
Mines Second Only to Dominion's
Gold Output
Though nickel is not, like iron and"
copper, one of the world's major in-
dustrial metals, is occupies a place
of constantly increasing importance
and, in so far aSt: Canada's metal pro-
d'iction is concerned, is second only
to gold in the value of the annual
output.
Canada's nickel industry had its
beginning in 1887, in the discovery
that certain mineral deposits at Sud-
bury, in Ontario, that had been. taken
up and worked for copper also con-
tained nickel and were in reality
great nickel deposits rather than cop-
per deposits. Nickel was, at this
time, however., commercially speaking
a comparatively unknown metal for
which there was no great demand -
the world's annual consumption be-
ing only about 1,000 short tons -so
that the history of the first few years
of the -industry is the record of an al-
most continuous uphill fight to find
new uses and a profitable market for
the output. Indeed, competition ,in
the nickel field has always been keen,
and though numerous companies have
from time to time been formed to en-
gage in the industry in. they Sudbury
district the only survivors are the two
large corporations, the International
Nickel Company and the Mond Nickel
Company. At the present time these
two concerns account for••practically
all of Canada's output (in round fig-
ures some 35,000 short tons valued
at over $19,000,000, constituting
over 80 per cent of the world's re-
quirements in 1924) except some
small amounts recovered as by-pro-
ducts from the treatment of Cobalt
silver ores. The record production
of 46,000 short tons, was made in
1918.
Previous to the Washington"Con-
ference probably more than 50 per
cent of this nickel went into armour
plates for warships, but now the
greater part of it finds it way into
peacefulindustries where it is put to
many and diverse uses which may be
grouped under four or five general
headings, vire.: as a component of
many alloys both ferrous and non-
ferrous of which the most important:
is nicltel steel; as a surface coating
for other metals; as a chemical or
catalytic reagent; and as pure malle-
able nickel for the manufacture of
cooking utensils, dairy equipment,
and innumerable like articles made
by rolling, forging, pressing or draw-
ing the metal.
Not only is Canada by far the
largest producer of nickel in the
world, but the reserves of nickel ore
are vastly greater than those of any
of her possible competitors and this,
together with the many other advan-
tages she possesses, gives her a pre-
dominant position in the world's
nickel trade that is well nigh unas-
sailable. -
