Benner Confident For Cobalt Camp A very active year in the Cobalt area was predicted yesterday by well known geologist. Ralph Ben- ner. Mr. Benner. was addressing the closing sessions of the Pros- '| pectors ahd Developers Association which held a three day. convention in Toronto. _ He said that developers who ignore the Cobalt area are miss- ing the best bet. in Canadian Mining. He said that the world supply of silver is running so far behind demand, that basie econo- mics will demand an increased interest.in silver mining. Mr. Benner said that it should be. realized that the original Co- balt camp comprised an area about five miles long by one and. one half miles wide. But he said, iden- tical geological conditions exist at deeper depths over an area of at least 40 by 20 miles. The geologist told his audience that he is confident that several more Cobalts will be found in the area if prospectors and developers use the latest techniques in pros- pecting. Mr. Benner said thatthe profitable ores are lying at deeper depths, but they are there, wait- ing for the men with the brains and ambition to find them. ane for See Carol.

Councillor R. J. Miller said that R. A. H. Taylor of New Liskeard had recently stated that the Tri- Town _ Industrial Commission should be brought back to life. 'We have got to co-operate," Mr. Miller said. "It may be rank heresy, but I think we ~skould try and work with Coleman Town- ship too. At present we have no liaison with Coleman." Mayor Purdy said that when the commission was active, it met for ten months and accomplished nothing. "It all went down the drain," he said. "Tf Dick Taylor has anything to do with it, I'll be surprised to see it go down tthe drain without a fight,' Mr. Miller said. Councillor F. Desjardins said that Cobalt is always being stuck for donations to something. "We can do something about it when the time comes," he said. Eventually the Council agreed to let Mr. Miller follow the matter up in his own time if he wants to. The High School Principal got slapped down again over a discus- sion: concerning the Cobalt arena. Councillor McGarry said that the arena board wants to oe money on pee : . Miller asked that in view of the Races of disasters involving the collapse of arenas, whether the building was ever inspected by~a competent building-inspector. ""We're wasting too much time in discussion," one Councillor snap- ped, The Council then decided to inspect the building themselves. Mr. Miller got in trouble again over the Court of Revision. He wanted to know how the Council could sit on the Court and give a fair opinion on anything, when they don't know. what basis is used for assessments. He has been pressing for a re-assessment of the town ,according to the provincial government manual. The Council decided to appoint themselves to the Court, excluding Mr. Miller and Sees Mc- Garry.

Temagami residents. have launched a strong protest against} the rule that will reducé the daily take of trout from five ito three, saying that-it-will give the im- pression that Temagarai is fished out, and will drive tourists away from their centre. Temagami Chamber of Com- merce members 'blame the Tema- gami Lakes Association for 'the amendment terming it a '"dicta- torial attitude", and plan to send a delegation to see if the restric- tion can be removed. Chamber of Commerce officials claim to have strong support for their demands from more than 100 Tourist Operators, and sub- stantial evidence that the recent lake survey reveals an abundance of fish. President Butch Spooner said that some of the nets placed by the department officials were too' heavy to 'lift. Lockie. Goddard said that the Temagami Lakes "Association. is composed of camp, and. property. owners along the lake, and has _ about 70 per cent American mem-~ bership. He said that these owners use the 3000 mile coastline in the reserve for about three months of the year, and want to 'keep everything for themselves. He also accused the association of seeking to have winter fishing banned. He also said that the group is continually at 'loggerheads with mining and lumber industriés, claiming that they disturb the tranquility and mar the beauty of the lakes. : The chamber will ask the de- ; partment to retain the five-a-day limit, make no change in winter - fishing, to net coarse fish and ex- pand the stocking program.
