NOTES of the NORTH Figures just compiled in.regard to the payroll of the North Coun- try show that the total paid for wages by the mines for the year just closed will approximate eighteen million dollars. The figures gathered by the Ontario Dept. of Mines during the year indicate that this big pay roll is distributed among approximately 12,000 employees, the average yearly wage thus figuring out to $1,500.00. As much of the work, especially for special work by the larger mines, and for season- al work by the smaller properties that do not carry on extended op- erations the year round, may be considered as only part time work the average rate of pay at the mines may be figured as in excess of $1,500 per year.--Por- cupine Advance. At a meeting of the Hockey Commission held last Monday, it was unanimously decided to raise the price for local Intermediate games from fifty cents rush seats and seventy-five cents reserved seats to seventy-five rush and a dollar reserved. This step was taken only after due considera- tion of all things. In view of the fact that South Porcupine charge $1.25 for reserved seats and 75c for rush seats, and both Hailey- bury and Kirkland Lake, $1.00 for reserved and seventy-five for rush seats, it was considered ad- visable to equal the lowest price of these three towns --Iroquois Falls Broke Hustler. Travelling from Kirkland Lake to Iroquois Falls and back on Saturday, December 29th, two carloads of enthusiastic hockey fans made a new record for win- ter motor travel in the north. The party comprised N, E. Mortson, A. J. Elliott, Walter Little and two nieces, the Misses Knox, Jas. Little, Arthur Little, W.W. Bren- nan, Jack Hallet and J. Doherty. They report the road in good con- dition and a splendid trip. People of the south whose cars are packed away for the winter might note that nothing but heavy drifts--and these only temporarily--is allowed to inter- fere with the use of motor driven vehicles in the North--Kirkland Lake Northern News. Mining Corporation has the shaft down 140 feet on the new South Lorrain property, roughly between the Frontier Mine and Lake Temiskaming. This work is in Cobalt sediments, under somewhat similar conditions as most of the ore in Cobalt is found. The shaft will be put to 300 odd feet, close to the contact with keewatin and at a horizon con- sidered most promising for silver deposition. A wide vein, up to six feet, was found and followed by the shaft to 100 feet. It is proposed to drift on this to get intersections with other veins. These veins are electrical survey indications.--Northern Miner.
