Mr. Davis were recognized on every hand, resting as they did, upon his own sone: cessful: business life, his. municipal ca reer, his legisla ive record of thirteen ears as member for North York, and is administrative resovd as provin cial secretary. Although only two vears have elapsed since Mr. Davis became commissioner; -he has already shown himself a worthy successor of a notable line of provincial: crown lunds administrators. One of his first steps was to familiarize himself with vast domain over which he has control. To that end he has personal ly 'inspected: the various agricultural, hmbering and mining districts in new Ontario, fronr Temiskaming on 'the east to the Rainy river on the west, thus equipping Wmself with the first- to the successful administration of the ex- tended and. varied interests coming within the purview of his department. Phe results of his adwinistration are already apparent, "especially in con néctio 'with colonmation. Mr; Davis in "1900 instituted a bureau of coléni- zation, the work of whith has more than ' justified its creation. The com- missioner has rendered the province a valuable 'service in realizing the grow ing 'meeds of our streams of shesé fertile regions during the new north. The settlement guided into past two seasons have been far in exéess of those of previous yeers. Eighteen townships, for example, were opened in the Temiskaming district alohe in 1001, ih ander to -acsommodate the unprecédented rush to the new lands of that portion of Ontario, while the Algoma "Phtinder Bay and Rainy riv- fr sections also show a steady inflow of desirable settlers. The * commissioner has carried out two successful pine timber sales. That of December, "1809, was rendered ne dessary by feason of the limits. hav- ing been overrun by fire. The liniits sold in September of 1901 were placed on the market partly with a view to the ualtimate 'opening up of agricul tural lands in Algoma, to meet a de mand for settlement arising through the construction of the Algoma Cen- tral railway," and because certain of the townships had been burned over and miners and uatters wore going in. The prices veh lized at these two sales were most satisfactory, showing an average price. per. square mile that has only been twice éxcecded in the whole history of provincial timber sales since confederation. To Mr. Davis is due the evedit of fire. ranging 'wegula tions into . law, aking iv degul to place rangers on. crown: timber lands where found necessary, and alse on i down and give wy 'benexth the inr| gengesl. timbers Jandy, 'even whore lira- it-holders . do mot make. application Gntario fire ranging system iv recognised asthe best om ih continent, its chief features hav ing been copied. in Quebee; New Brune and 'by the dominion in vespest to the wes(: ern Ymber lands still wader the con: trol jof the federal government. "Phe United 'States government has practi. cally adopted the Ontario sysses: in reference. to ite public lands. It may be added that the timther regulatins I of the crown lands department inve been largely copied by other govern: ments, as well as the Ontari system of licegsing. cullers, who ineasure ' all timber out on licensed lan is. on which measurements the accounts for crown dues are based. "The administration of the crown lands department has been marked by hiswry. This reserve comprises an. asea of nearly un million and a ball acres, and includes a great strdteh of white pine, eMtimated at three billion feet. It also eonstithtes & vast natural park of wonderful scenic' bewuty, in which are to le found she headwaters of sevecal government Jas thoroughly alive to the ime portance of forgstry and reforestine. i53 ITISH WHIG, TUESDAY, -- - vears will undoubtedly witness a'grest expansion on these tins. | Thé exploratory surveys made uader the direction of - the commissioner © of (crown lands during the swimmer of i 1900 eall for a word of commendation, both as to the mode of carrying them fot and the ecomomy exercised. It as i remarkable that in an exploration of i this character, estimated to cost $40, | 000, carried on in practically an un known "region, 'at a great' distance frown comtres: of civilimation, the sur veys were completed for within 8500 of the original estimate. The publication of the report'{for which there has been an extraordinary demand) constituted an additional charge of w few thous and dollars. The examination of an area aggreguting nearly one hundred thousand miles: square was in itseli a striking evidence of the alertness "of the Rose government, und the general reculld, revealing extensive Gracts of good agricultural lands, widespread fovests of spruee and other pulpwoods, a great pige forest and sumerous wa~ torpawers, amply prove the wisdom of the undertaking. 4 Shortly after Mr. Davis became com missioner he visited the Sudbury dis trier in order to ascertain the: viewd of the mining community regarding the mines act. As.an immediate result of this conference a bill was introduced by him, during the session of 1900; in which many progressive amendments were made to the existing law. The chief change efiofted related to the royalty clause in the act, which * was repeated, thereby removing all ine equalities and 'placing all mining pro- perties on an equal jooting in the matter of attracting capital, and in that 'way assisting in the greater de velopment of the nickel and eopper districts. i There was in addition a strong feel ing on the part of the mining * public that as great a 'degrée of refining of nickel and copper ores should be 'déne in Canada as was practicable. A act of 1900 providing .' that. power should be reserved to the lieutenant governor in council to impose certain fidense fees to be levied upon the raw ores, 'or tho 'partly treated products of the. ores mentidried; «to be remitted, however; if the fine metals were pro- duced in the dominion. This portion of the new act, has not been brought into foree, there being as vet no! pro- cess in operation in Canada for the vom plete 'refining of these oves." The desired 'of the government Is to bring the refing of 'nickel to as high ' & point as possible in our country, and this result is being gradually achieved without the need of an enforcing law, and through the co-operation of the mining companies interested. Rbduc- tion' works' have been established at Sudbury, by which the treatment of the raw ove is earried to a much high er point than in the past. Formerly the matte left the country, containing from thirty-five per cent. to ° forty per cent. of metallic oéntents of nickel and copper, now it is brought to eighty per cent.,.which is a long stride toward the ultimate goal of complete refining in Canada. A word. should be said as to the en- erétic 'way in which the Bgrean of mines arranged its display the re- cent Pan-American expg®ition. Three gold medals were awarded Ontario for the best general - exhibit of economic ores and minerals, maps and photo rraphs illustrative of its mineral re sources. There were twenty other me- dals and awards. No other province w state approached Ontario number of awards or the gerralo ex cellence of its exhibits. TANI A Former Resident Dead. Napanee Express. .
