With this issue we ofler to the people of Porcupine and the pub- lic generally the first. number of The Porcupine Advance. The record of such enterpriseb in many inining camps is not such as to surround this.undertaking with ahealutc security as an ultimate success. Nevertheless this fact has no deterrent.influence over our ambition to give to the Great Porcupine Gold Camp a newspaper carrying at least sufficient merit to ensure the nomi. nal support and friendship of the entire people. We have unbounded confidence in Porcupine, and to an equal extent have we confidence in the citizens of Porcupine. Our first duty is to the community wherein we lahor, and. thoueh we may fail in the performance of that duty it will not he through lack of earnest effort and application. High ideals, we admit, but with your co-operatinn and assist- ance they will, we trust, be speedily realized. George. Lake is proprietor of The Porcupine Advance, and with him is associated W. G. Ferguson. who will endenVor to perform the duties of editor. It is not intended to permit excessive optimism to obscure a keen and careful scrutiny into the future of this promising field, so far as our perhaps limited ability and past observation will al- low. Rather is it our wish to he guided by our past experience and avoid the danger of rash ness. It is our desire that The Porcupine Advance will develop a distinct newspaper personality, and that. it will he gladly welcom- ed in every home. and by chry citizen, in the camp as a journal above suspicion and a credit to tho lnvulity and pruvincc wherein it is published. The new paper will be issued each Thursday evening. and will be mailed to subscribers each Friday morning. O The Porcupine Advance has no connection whatever with the late Porcupine Press nor with any other publication. but to all who have paid their subscription to the Porcupine Press this paper will be mailed to the expiration of the term so paid without any additional charge. They are depending very largely for their success on the good- will and friendship of all the people of Porcupine, and by extend- ing {air and courteous treatment. to all. We respectfully request a share of your patronage.

C. B. Flynn. vice-president of the McIntyre, is enthusiastic over the manner in which the property is showing up. The encountering of several veins in the croseout at the 200«loot level. all of them within 150 feet of the shafts. causes a change in the plans of the company in regard to the un- derground work. and drifting on the ore bodies is now being done instead of continuing the momenta. It is evident that. from the work already done. the aggregate length of these veins is several thousand hot. and from them a large tonnage of ore will be obtained. The Provincial gowrnment has ap- pointed (iordon I‘I. Gauthier, reeve of Whitney, to be police magistrate for the Porcupine Mining Division.

Bruce, mining recorder, who was unanimously chosen as pre- sident of the club at the organiza- tion meeting, introduced the second part of the program. “This is the first opportunity al- forded n13." he said. “to thank the members of the Canadian Club of Porcupine for the great honor be- stowed on me by electing me to the highest ollice in the gift of the club, and that. too, during my absence, which is an additional mason why I should the more appreciate the kind- ly feeling thus displayed.

The new wing is about 30x30 and is certainly of great value in fulfilling the purpose for which it is intended. _ At the Hotel Kingston a real transformation is taking place. Plate glass has replaced the old familiar 8x10, all the sleeping rooms havi been, or are being, tinted and adov’n ed, the rotunda is submitting to the art of the painter and the skill i’of the carpenter.
