In the morning of that day, without any fuss or feathers, the new structure, 365 feet in length, which has been erected over the T. & N. O. and Nipissing Central Railway tracks at the northern entrance to t he silver town, was thrown open to traffic, and barriers were erected by the Northern Development Branch men to shut off the. old road. At the same time, the various other links in the chain of im- provements which have been made in the Ferguson Highway between Cobalt and New Lis- keard were brought into use, thus marking forward steps in trans- forming, to use the words of D. J. Miller, the district engineer, "an old trail into a first class road." Immediately north of the bridge _and running down to mileage 104, the new diversion in the road was ready for use, as were also the cut-off at the dangerous rock pass at Argentite and the straighten- ing out process north of the pulp mill and south of Sharpe's hill, approaching New Liskeard. Meantime, Cobalt town council is going ahead with its plans fora formal opening ceremony at Lang Street next Monday. The com- mittee appointed to consider the list of invited guests has met and prepared its roster, and the invi- tations are being sent ott. It has not been , definitely ascertained whether Hon. William Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests, will be present at Labor Day's 'finction here, but he will attend, if possible, according to intima- tion previously made by him. Other guests to be invited to at- tend will include Hon. W. A. Gor- don, K.C., M.P., A. J. Kennedy, M.P.P., and a number of North- ern Development officials and lo- cal citizens.« The bridge was opened right on time. Weeks ago, Mr. Miller told the press the structure would be ready at the end of August, and the last day of the month found it in condition to use. Gravelling of the approaches had been completed late last week, and although several automobiles went over it early on Saturday, barriers were re-erected later and remained in place until Monday morning. They were then re- moved and placed across the old road both on the town side and at the junction of the new high- way with the route formerly used and ,without any further ado, the bridge and other improvements were in public use. _ There re- mained still some work to do at ~ the guard rail alongside the nor- (Continued on Page 4) Britain's War Minister To Relieve | Mining Man Has Scheme Which: Would Provide Permanent Employment The setting aside of a portion of the millions being provided by the governments for the relief of unemployment, to be used in the exploration and development of promising gold properties, is the sugegstion made by Douglas A.

What is required at the present stage is more capital, invested under intelligent direction, which would greatly eliminate the possibilities for speculation and would yield ample returns. Outlining his proposal for gov- ernment development of promis- ing properties, Mr. Mutch sug- gested that a small percentage of the money provided for govern- ment works for' the relief of unemployment would be sufficient to establish the research and de- velopment. department such as he has in mind. He suggested that if two to five million dollars was thus provided, it would be possible of accomplishment, and if it took five years to bring ina gold producer, it would be well worth while. As a means of pro- viding employment, nothing could be better, as not only the mining industry, but many others as well would profit. "Mining is a lodestone which attracts capital.' Mr. Mutch says "and where capital gravitates prosperity abounds, although ow-! ing to outside influences it may | be overshadowed at certain per-! iods. This fact is demonstrated in Ontario at the present time, where, in the face of a world trade depression, the progress of mining development in the North is creating new industries in the wilderness. It has provided em- ployment for workers, created a demand for building materials, food products, clothing, furnitiire and the multifarious requirements of domestic and community life." Thus it may be seen that devel- opment of the mining industry, which could be greatly enhanced under such a scheme, would not only help to relieve the present unemployment, but would be of such a permanent nature that it would assist greatly in avoiding a recurrence ofjthepresent de- pression. This is a mere outline of the scheme, details of which are being worked out, and every effort will be made to impress it on the minds of those who have the power to put it into practice.

McCracken, super- intendent of the Children's Aid Society, asks us this week to a- gain make an appeal to the peo- ple of Haileybury and the district on behalf of a needy family some miles to the north. The circum- stances are that the mother has just recently died, after giving birth to a baby boy, there are six older children in the family and the father, not too well blessed with this world's goods, is in very great distress. The bereaved father believes that he can carry on with his family at home, if he gets some help in the way of clothing and shoes for them. For these neces- sities, Mr. McCracken makes his appeal. In the family are four girls, aged 14, 12, 8 and 6, and two boys, one of 10 and the other 4, besides the baby, born last Sunday. The father is just struggling along on a farm, doing his best to make a home under grave difficulties and, according to Mr. McCracken, the case is both very urgent and deserving. Anyone who can help with some clothing, shoes -or other articles should telephone to Mr. McCracken and will be made for collection and forwarding of the things given. Many similar cases have been looked after by the Children's Aid|] Society here and it is altogether likely that the needed assistance will be forthcoming, when the facts are known.

With the exception of Miss Meriza Lacarte, who has secured leave of absence for a year in order to take a_ special course in Toronto, all the former members of the staff are back on duty, and Miss Catherine Harris, 3.A., has been engaged to teach English, History and Geography, in Miss Lacarte's place. Figures on the attendance are not available yet, but it is stated that when these are compiled, they will show an increase over the number present last year at the beginning of the term. is ea High Wind Cants Pole and Express Train Is Delayed The northbound Continental Limited was delayed at Cobalt briefly on Saturday afternoon through an unusual cause. Short- ly after leaving the station, the train had to be pulled up when i was discovered that the | wind had canted over a pole car- rying a power line and that it was leaning dangerously toward the tracks of the steam road. The delay was of brief dura- tion, while the street cars on the Nipissing Central. Railway also were affected for a short spell. No damage was done. Official Visitor 'Deputy Minister of Mines Making Tour of North Visits Mining Recorders and Will Inspect Northern Lignite Operations On a tour of Northern Ontario that will occupy his time for the next three weeks, Thomas F. Sutherland, Deputy Minister of Mines for the province, was here in the early part of the present week. He told the press the ob- ject of his visit was to visit the different mining recorders in the district and also to proceed to the Onakawana coal fields, where further work is being carried on at the lignite deposits. Mr. Sutherland said that about 1100 feet of drifting had been done at the property. At present operations were being confined to development work there, but it was expected that approximately 125 tons of coal would be shipped out: from the deposits after the freeze-up. It will be consigned to Germany. During the summer one shipment only was made, that going to Ot*awa for testing pur- poses. The scene of the operations is located about a mile back the tracks of the James Bay ex- tension and, owing to the muskeg nature of the intervening ground, shipment is difficult except under winter conditions. Mr. Sutherland arrived in Ca- balt on Monday morning, visited the Temiskaming Testing Labo- ratory there and called on A. A. Cole, mining engineer for the T. & N. O. and then came here to the office of N. J. McAulay, min- ing recorder. He left on Tuesday for Swastika. Registration Figures Reach Over Two Hundred Mark When the registration of the unemployed completed on Monday night, the total for Hail- eybury had\reached 227. This is a larger number than might have been expected, but it is believed that it includes practically all the jobless men in the municipality. Of the total 126 are married men and 101 single. Returns of the figures and other particulars are required by the governments in their efforts 'to provide a cer- tain amount of work for all dur- ing the coming winter and every facility was provided to enable the men to have their names en- tered, the town clerk's office be- ing kept open during evenings towards the end 'of the period.
