Batcheler took I first, W. Beaton 2nd and W. Atcheson 3rd. About two years ago a Toronto broker, or a man wi claimed to be such, went through this country in company with a companion, selling stock in what they called the Georg- ian Bay Silica Company. It was claimed that the Manitoulin Island held a wonderful silica mine, and the broker wished to develop it. There- fore he decided to sell shares for this purpose, and succeeded in collecting a large amount of money from easy marks in Artemesia and Osprey town- ship. One man that we have heard of put up $500, and many others $100 each. Time went on and nothing more was heard of the development. An effort was made to get the broker to explain the condition of affairs, but in vain. The aftermath was a meeting held in the town hall here on Friday night last of the interested shareholders, which decided that each man would put up one per cent, on his holdings with a view to putting the law in motion in an effort to find out what had become of their good money. Our dictionary says that rock crystals, quartz and flint are almost pure silica. We have seen mount- ains of qi'artz on the north shore of the Georgian Bay, ^nd probablv the broker aforesaid is the first man to think of mining it for commercial purposes. Probably he will be the last. Hunters Leave For The North Next Monday c Three Parties From This Part Going To Parry Sou"d Disrict SHOOTING MATCH.
