Some of the older companies are now far enough advanced to use machine drills, while others have reached the point that ore has been proved and that tunnels are being run to develop at depth. Others will reach that stage after another season's work.

". . - I . Signed ROYA 1tU&, Standard of Quality for over 50 Years TARIFF BOARD S REGARD COAL Question Is Much Involved Owing To Diversity of Interests in Canada OTTAWA, Dec. 11. The Dominion's position in respect to 'It coal industries has 'been the subject of a great: deal df consideration by varidus governing bodies of the Dominion during the present year. The most extensive coal fields arc found in NoVa Scotia, Alberta and British Columbia. This means a long haul to supply the more thickly settled provinces' of Ontario and Quebec snould a policy be finally adopted of using Canadian coal to a much greater exirat 'in the futre. At present .the larger portion of coal used in central Canada i imported from the United Statfa Latest statistics show that out of a total annual importation of 14,-165,000 tons of bituminus coal, 13,960,000 tons come from thr United States. There is a duty of 50 cents a ton on this variety of coal into Canada, but the duty is returnable if the coal is converted into coke for metallurgical and certain other purposes. Govern ment figures reveal that the un nual drawback is approximately $750,000, indicating that about 1,500,000 tons are imported to the Dominions for this purpose. There is no duty on anthracite coal. The duty on bituminous coal has caused oonsidrrable clash of interests and it Is with this that the tariff board has been wrestling fo some ui recent Situation 1 The Uiiti'd Spates tariff on soft coal is reciprocal.. It provides that the tariff on coal from Canada1 shall 'be the same as the dutyi placed on United States coal coin ing into this country. As a re-' suh Fernie, B. C. mine operators have agitated for the removal of the duty so that they might have an open market in the Pacifk coast states. Alberta interest want the duty to remain as, it is, because they fear that an open door policy would cnu.se them to Nova Scotia alio iMpposed to knj' lowering of the rate. The United States reciprocal tariff, however, doex not take into account the drawback allowed in Canada. All Canadian bituminous going across the border is assessed a 60-cant duty whether or not it is to be converted into coke. Owners? of 'the Nova'. Scotia mine. point out that tne present tariff gives them no protection at all where the coal is brought In to be converted into coke for metallurgical purposes. They have asked that rrtry -oe recompensed for this loss of protection by being given a bonus of 50 cents a ton when they produce coke thut comes into competition with the TI1E DAILY- NEWS Tuesday, December 11, 1928 'imported product from which a drawback has been obtained. Canadian gas' jjorrfpanies also insist that they are not being fairly treated becaus they have to pa.y a duty on their coal and yet the coke they produce as a by-product into competition with coke on which no duty has been paid. I Budget Will Show I The tariff board have heard -all the interests who have submitted I lengthy briefs and will advise the 'department of finance concerning its recommendation. This advice is not made public and will only be reflected in the budget submitted at the next session of the Dominion parliament. The use of domestic bituminous coal; hoVevef, ''is increasing in spite of the vast distances which ii must be hauled. There were heavy shipments of Nova Scotia coal to Montreal and other points ilong the St. Lawrence this year. Then tht-re was. the special rate, assumed to be tjfie "out-of-pocket costs of bringing Alberta coal to Ontario for thr'e months during the summer. The success of this t xperiment is now being considered by the fuel board. OPTION TAKEN ON TORIC MINE Vancouver un Authority for Sale ' r i . n i ox rropcriy 10 nime souna Mining Co.
