A Trip to Ontario's Northland
(By B.)
NORTHERN ONTARIO — AT
once the scene of great mining
areas, diversified industry,- and
profitable agriculture—this year
formed the venue of one of- the
most successful post -convention
trips in the history of the• On-
tario -Quebec Division, Canadian
Weekly Newspapers Association
. . . Although Laurie Colquhoun
and I had attended the London
convention in 1946 and the' Ot-
tawa convention in 1947, we were
most anxious to visit Ontario's
famous Northland this year . . .
And so we did, having a marvel-
ous time, meeting new friends
and old, ,and getting a perspec-
tive of Ontario's "Empire 01 the
North" ;where hospitality is un-
excelled anywhere . . .

One -Da' Convention
TRAVELLING CNR. FROM
Clinton to Toronto, we attended
the one• day convention. in th
Royal York Hotel in the Quee
City . . . Speakers at the sessio
included Sam R. Curry, preside
of the Division and publisher o
The Tweed News; '\ R. A. Giles
seeretary-treasurer of the Divis

Lake, Timmins . . .
Arrive at Timmins
AT THE STATION, WE WERE
met by Karl Eyre„ Mayor of
Thnmins, who extended a civic
welcome, and were taken on a
two-hour bus ride of the sub-
stantial and cosmopolitan TOW
of Timmins (population 28,000)
and through the entire Porcupine
Camp (population 40,000 in Tim-
mins, Schumacher and South
Porcupine) . . . Timmins is a
modern city with fine shops and
a general air of prosperity which
it has even in a time of depres-
sion . . . The price of gold means
everything; it is now $35 per
ounce, but they would like to
see it go higher because the cost
of mining has increased tremend-
ously without a corresponding in -
(Tease in the price of gold . .
WE WERE GUESTS AT A ROAST
turkey luncheon in the $250,000
McIntyre Community Building,
the joint hosts being the Town
of Timmins, Township of Tisdale
e (population 9,000), and Township
• of Whitney (population 1,500),
n land Improvement District of
t Mount Joy (popplation 1,500)
f Mayor Eyre, Timmins, who acted
, as master of ceremonies, urged
- us to publicize the problems and
e needs of Northern Ontario so
e that they might be understood
- better in other parts of the
- country . . . He pointed out that
o the area has considerable advent -
e ages to offer small industries such
, as cheap building sites and an
ample supply of Hydroelectric
s power . In reply, Past Presi-
dent Sam Curry, suggested that
- perhaps the publishers might
; persuade the Federal Finance
Minister to raise the price of gold
g to $50 an mince!!! , . .

THE IMPORTONT PART THAT
Northern Ontario's forest resour-
ces play in the economy of the
country was stressed by Victor IL
• Evans, reeve of Tisdale, the spec-
ial speaker . He discussed the
,• twin menaces of fireand pest
infestation, and strongly urged
his hearers to take all possible
steps to create an informed
public opinion on these matters...

"We're OW"
FINALLY, AT 7.05 PAIL, WE
were off by CNR and Ontario
Northland Railway on our jour-
ney to the north, about 100 peo-
ple strong with four special pull -
man cars and a diner in our
entourage . . Laurie and I
were allotted to car number four,
the "stag" car and the last one ,
We soon got acquainted with the
rest of the boys in, the car, one
of whom was Bill McCool, Wing -
ham . . Others on the train
included Mr. and Mrs. Gordon L.
Hall and son Bobbie, Cayuga, and
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Southeott,
daughter Florence and son Don,
Exeter,.. Needless to say, every-
one was hungry for dinner, and
we had a splendid one on board
the train . .
* .*
DURING THE EARLY PART
Friday morning we travelled
through the beautiful scenery of
the north, and finally landed at
Timmins about eleven o'clock
On_our way in, we noticed sev-
eral elephants and we Wondered
if we were in for a Republican
convention or something . . . It
turned out that a circus was
playing in the famed McIntyre
• Arena at Schumacher, situated
in the centre of the Porcupine
Gold Camp . . . Later, one of
the boys tried to have his picture
taken astride one of the big fel-
lows, but the latter just wasn't
having any. . .

Gold Mining
IN THE AFTERNOON, WE EX-
perienced our first trip to a large
gold mine; in our case, it was
the Hollinger, the largest on the
Continent, while others visited
the Mcintyre and the Dome . . .
Although they would not let us
underground, with .the assistance
of a guide, we received a very
comprehensive demonstration of
the surface workings of a modern
gold mine . . .
Some of the buildings we visit-
ecl were the hoist house, where
ere is hoisted in 6.5 ton skips at
a speed of 3,000 feet per minute;
shaft house and crushing plant
capable of 450 tons an hour; ore
storage bin, a dome -like sruc-
ture with capacity of 1.0,000 tons,
where crushed ore is stored in
,readiness for the grinding opera -
'don; ball mill and classifier,
where ore is ground to a very
fine sand in a cyanide solution
which dissolves the gold . . .
Other operations we witnessed
were the concentrating tables
where the sulphide mineral par-
ticles are removed for finer grind-
ing; the thickeners, where the
solids which settle to the bottom
are pumped out and excess solu-
tion overflows; the pachuca agit-
ators where pulp from the thick-
eners is agitated in cyanide solu-
tion to dissolve the remaining
gold; drum filters where the gold
solution is removed by filtration
and washed solids are sent to
tailing disposal . . . The mill
tailing, or residue, is pumped
one -and -a -half miles to a 640 -
acre site . .
Zinc dust is used to precipitate
the gold and the gold precipitate
is recovered by filters . . . Gold
is melted and poured into moulds,
and gold bars, 996 fine, are shiji-
ped to the mint-. . . I might say
that only five people are allowed
in to the refinery which is a con-
crete building without windows
and with a door like that of a
vault, electrically- connected to
give danger signals of a robbery
if a forced entry is attempted . . .
* *
DESPITE ALL POSSIBLE PRE.
cautions, we were told that the
high -graders still get away with
quite a lot in one way or another,
and although some of the smal-
ler fry are caught occasionally,
it is very difficult to snag the
big fish or brains of the ,high -
grading ring . . . The workmen
must change their clothes entirely
-
and have a shower going on and
off shift ... Incidentally, we were
informed that the Hollinger
mine has now reached a working
depth of 5,150 feet (almost a mile
underground), with five shafts
operating from surface, and levels

• Tax collections in Clinton for

W. Manning at the July meeting
of Clinton Town Council Monday
evening.

months of 1948 totalled. $34,956.72,
as compared with 231,891.49 for
the corresponding period of 1947.
It was stated that unpaid current
taxes, after making allowance for
necessary write-offs, amounted to
only $400.
This year's total of $34,756.'72
was made up 01 ±139,390.52 current
year collections; $35.61 penalties;
and • $130 dog tax. Arrears at
Sune 30 totalled $1,875.31, made
up of $18.10 for 1945; $111.87 for
1948; and 51,745.34 for 1947.
In the first half of 1947, the

tions; $95.20 penalties; and $182

, Dog •Bylaw Given Teeth
After considerable discussion,
with all members present and
Mayor A. J. McMurray presiding,
Council passed Bylaw No. 11 for
1948 to amend Bylaw No. 5 for
1937—a bylaw for licensing ana
registration of dogs. The new
bylaw added the following pare -
graphs to the old bylaw:
(1) Such licences shall be in
the form of a tag which the own-
er or harborer shall attach. to a
collar to be veorn,at all times by
each dog;
(2) Each owner or harborer of
a dog shall keep the same from
running at large during the
months of May, June and July
in each .year;
(3) Any dog found running at
large during the months of May,
June and July in each year, may
be destroyed by a Police Con-
stable: and any dog found run-
ning at large at any time with-
out a tag may be destroyed by
a Police Constable;
(4) Every owner or harborer
of a dog running at large, shall
be liable to the owner of atter
property, which may have been.
damaged or destroyed bysuch
so
dog runn
ing at large, in the
amount of the damage so caused':
(5) These amendments shali
come into force and effect im-
mediately on the passing thereof.
It will be recalled that the 1947
Council refused to take similar
action just a year ago.
Ald. O. L. Paisley commented
on the great destruction to gar-
dens by dogs. Ald NI. Crich asked
if the police were going to en-
force this bylaw. Ald. R. Y.
Hattin said the bylaw should be
enforced, and said that the police
allege they are not getting the
cooperation of Council, .
