Work in the coal fields is rapidly extending. Large num- bers have resumed in Staffordshire. The whole of the miners in the northern cdunties of England and a portion of those in Scotland have followed the fighting lead of the miners of Lancashire and declared against the resumption' of work in the pits until the minimum rates of wages have been definitely fixed. Result of Ballot Means Resumption of Work ae --Rioting.in Scotland This will give a majority of the min- ers in the United Kingdom in fa- vor of continuing the strike. There has been some rioting in different parts of the country. At Dunferm- line in Scotland the unionist min- ers stoned the detachment of police which was protecting the non-un- ionists who had resumed work. At Pontypool, in Monmouthshire, there have also been disturbances, crowds of striking miners smashing the windows in the houses of the men who have returned-to work. The coal which is being raised is taken chiefly by the railways. -- G. T. RB. TO EXPEND $30,000,000. ~Tmportant Matters to Come Up at Half-Yearly Meeting.

OF PORCUPINE AN UNBIASSED ACCOUNT OF ITS PRESENT STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT. -- The Dome, Hollinger, McIntyre, Vipond and Other Important Properties Described From a Personal Visit. A representative of this paper has just returned from a trip to Por- eupine, where he found Ontario's gold camp passing from the pros- pect stage into the producing era. He had the pleasure of handling a bar of the yellow metal valued at $3,000, the product of a few days' run of a ten stamp mill on the Mc- Intyre Mine. He saw the mill it- self at work and was told by Mr. C. B. Flynn, the Vice-President, of the Company, that the daily output would immediately be raised to $1,000, and that it was hoped be- fore the end of the year to take out $500,000 from this property alone. THE DOME'S BIG MILL. The most impressive thing in Porcupine to-day is the new big mill of the Dome mine. This is a huge. structure containing forty stamps and accompanying equip- ment, which probably makes it one of the most up-to-date mills in the world. One is told that it cost be- tween $300,000 and $400,000, and that it will have a capacity of 400 tons of ore a day. The other equip- ment on the property is on a simi- lar scale. There is a power house worth $100,000 and residences for the managers, club house, dining halls, etc., the latter are all of brick, indicating plans for perman- ency. Altogether it is estimated that somewhere between a million and a million and a half dollars have been spent on the property. These figures are eloquent of the confidence the owners have in the future of the mine. The owners represent interests close to the United States Steel Corporation and Standard Oil Company, and also own the International Nickel Company, the big Sudbury concern, and control the Nipissing Mines Company at Cobalt. FORTY STAMPS AT WORK. | The mill has just begun operation, and the sight of the stamps pound- ing away on the ore, pulverizing it to a powder, so that the gold can be removed, was worth going a long way to see. The mill would have POURTBEN YEARS IN WILDS Within The The Most "Remarkable Trip Ever Made Arctic Circle A despatch from Dawson, Alaska, says: Joseph Jacquet, an explorer, has arrived here after 14 years' continuous residence in the Lower Mackenzie River country bordering on the Arctic Ocean. He is accom- panied by Albert Ross, an Indian boy. They came from Fort Mac- Pherson in the record time of 12% days with fast dogs. They travelled nine hours daily, equipped only with three light blankets, some flour and bacon. They killed five rabbits, gave most of the flour to Indians and carried neither tent nor stove. The trip is one of the most remarkable winter journeys ever made within the Arctic circle. In the week before starting Jac- quet made a little trip of 150 miles to Eskimo Lake and returned to get his wife, whom he left with friends. Dozens of prospectors and trappers are, living in the Mackenzie wilder- ness, several accompanied by their wives. - Mr. Jacquet said, Harry Jones, an Englishman, is at Eskimo Lake gathering birds for a London society. : " No word-has been received at Fort MacPherson from Stefansson and Alexander, explorers, accord- ing to Mr. Jacquet, It is feared they are lost. had it not been for the fire of last July, which swept away everything. The mine gets its name from the fact that fairly regularly the gold is found distributed in a great dome shaped hill of rock, which has been found to broaden as it goes down, and is known to earry gold to great depth. The entire mass will be milled, and is expected to yield about $8 a ton, the cost of produc- tion being perhaps $3. HOLLINGER'S RICH ORE. A visit was also paid to the Hol- linger mine, which vies with the Dome for supremacy. Here a 40- stamp mill is nearing completion. The ores found in this property oc- cur in fairly regular veins, and is very rich, running, it is said, $28 a ton. The only question is as to the extent of the veins, but the tiain one has already been traced 1,000 feet on the surface, and to a depth of 200 feet. We descended to this level. in the Hollinger and also in the McIntyre and in the Vi- pond mines, and it was encourag- ing to see the well defined quartz veins at this depth, and to be able to pick out samples earrying dis- cernible free gold. Mr. Arthur Cole, mining expert of the Temis- kaming and Northern Ontario Rail- way Commission, accompanied the party, and secured some striking specimens. The Vipond is also rushing a mill to completion, and it is expected that within a couple of months the mills on the Vipond, Hollinger, Mc- Intyre and Dome will be running and will have an aggregate capacity of 800 tons of ore a day. It is esti- mated that by the end of the year $1,500,000 in gold bars will be pro- duced thereby at long last, putting Ontario in the list of gold produc- ing areas. Other properties visited included putting in a five-stamp mill, and the Dome extension. PORCUPINE'S HOPES. Poreupine hopes that it will, in a few years, develop one of the great gold camps of the world. The next few months, with the four mills ia operation, and with the pushing for- ward of underground work, will do much to show how well founded is this hope. Already on the leading properties an aggregate of some 3,- 500 feet in shafts have been sunk, and some 15,000 of drifting and tunnelling done, On the whole, the results of this underground work have been satisfactory, though some of the prospects have disappointed their owners. To celebrate the opening of the Dome mill a celebration was held under the auspices of the South Porcupine Board of Trade, The arrangements were in charge of the President, W. Proctor Smith, who with a fund of anecdote and wit, proved to be a delightful compan- ion, and as 'a host attended to every desire of his guests. MSueaed hie eT POTATOES FROM SCOTLAND.

The six million pounds surplus which the Budget shows is therefore ap- propriated as a British navy nest- egg. This is the kernel of Tues- day's Budget statement, though it was not made yery plain, possibly owing to the extreme care the Chancellor of the Exchequer took to present the Government's policy diplomatically and pacifically. It is a two-keels-to-one policy in respect to any ship built by Germany over and above those specified in her been running several months ago navy law programme. The Times holds the decision a wise one under the circumstances. The News, chief Government news- paper, is silent regarding this as- pect. The Telegraph says: "Lloyd George is perhaps the most surpris- ingly elusive member of the Com- mons. Wednesday he _ revealed himself in a new and welcome light. It may be some financial purists will regret that this six million nest-egg is not at once to be used, as it should be under norma! circum- stances, for the reduction: of the debt, but the times are exception- al. We do not doubt public opin- ion will agree that an exceptional financial expedient is fully justi- fied." a) other form of lime, the Second Life Guards.
