LEADING MINING PROVINCE OF DOMINION OF CANADA Ontario has become the loading mining province of the Dominion within the last few years. Several districts are noted for their gold or silver production, and metals of the platinum group. chiefly palladium, platinum and iridium, are obtained from. ores mined primarily for nickel and copper. --\~ Gold was first discovered in Ontario at the Richardson location, about 35 mil-es north 0f Believille, in 1866. The first finds were spec- tacular and led to extensive pros- pecting in the northern part of Hastings County, but no deposits of commercial inmortance were found and the occurrences of this district .1“ v-- v.._. are not typical of the areas from which the present large production is obtained.

It seems that. he had been sentenced some months before to two years in a penitentiary for having been caug'm w‘ith narcotic drugs in his possession. But when found to be tubercular. he was given his liberty. Apparently ‘there was no provision for such cases.’ “Cannot the policegdvise me what Now, once more in court, he was pleading that he be sent somewhere, mined life, or where, at least, he might be allowed to live out his re- maining days.

Its ob- ject is the establishment of tubercu- losis-free areas, and provision is therefore made for the testing of all classes of cattle in a given terri- tory. This system affords an excel- ‘lent ol'iportunity of systematic and methodical work and permits the testing of the largest number of oat.- Itie in a given period. The prompt slaughter of all re-actors and the cleansing and disinfection of all in- fected premises carried on underl the system, provides a clean terri- tory for a healthy herd. These herds are further protected from in- fection from outside sources by cat- tle not being permitted to come into the area except for immediate slaughter under certain precautions, unless they have first passed an of- ficial tuberculin test. In his report for last year, Dr. George Hilton, Veterinary Director General, refiers to the only aea in Canada that has so far been dealt with under this system. It is located in the Carman district in Manitoba and comprises1 JO 1.591 ism GILL 'sdiqsumm Muslim all cattle in this area, numbering 16,550 head, was completed early in April, 1923, and 992 re-acted, or 5.7 per cent. These reactors were promptly slaughtered, and the prem- ises on which they were located were thoroughly cleansed and disin. fected. The first test cost in com- pensation five and a half times as much as all retests and the an- nual general retest of all herds in the area combined. This reduction is due to the fewer lie-acting anâ€" , ima-ls that are found with each sucâ€" lceeding test and indicates that the area will soon be entirely free from bovine tuberculosis.
