(ieorge Lindsay. a well-known pro-, spector, has returned from New York where he interviewed the owners of the Night Hawk Lake Langmuir Co., operating in the township of Lang- muir.

Fuller announcement 'will appear lat- er. In a reCent issue we published en- gravings of the banking institutions of South Porcupine. In this group the Imperial Bank did not appear. The reason was that at the time we did not have an engraving of the Imperial. but when such is at hand it will afford us much pleasure to publish it. Rev. Mr. McLellan n the Presby- terian church last Sunday evening began a series of addresses on New Testament teaching, and if the fol- lowing discourses prove as interest- ing and valuable from an educational standpoint as did that of Sunday eVening. we may look to see the lit- tle church around the corner crowd- ed every Sunday. Mr. Melellan's talks are certainly pleasant and in- structipe. Harold Cave, one of the popular and competent employt-s of the Cu- balt Nugget. spent a short time in camp the latter part of last week and paid The Porcupine Advance a friendly call. which we enjoyed. Miss A. Baxter, of Cobalt. has been ehosen as teacher for the South Por- cupine, school. her duties beginning last Wednesday.

Rochester, of Haileybury,one of the best known mining men in the. North Country. is in town foria few days. Mr. Rochester has just re- turned from an extended trip through Mexico. and his report of mininb op- eratiqgs in that rich country is not encouraging. due principally to the unsettled state of afiairs which brought about revolutionary tactics on the part of a portion of the Re- public. For instance no dynamite or explosives of any character are per- mitted to enter Mexico during the present hostilities lest they might fall into the hands of the enemy of the state. Mr. Rochester will remain in camp for a few days. I’nrcupine 7 LOCAL ITEMS : Andy Grierson was transacting fbuaineas and renewing acquaintances [in ('ohalt and Hailoyhury last week.

Fuller. at whose home the first meet- ing was held last Pridax evming, the :(osmopolitan Club has been formed in South Porcupine. the membership of which is confined to the ladies. 'Topics of national and international é importance form the theme of discus- sions which are indulged in at the weekly meetings held at the various residences of the members. and the club bids fair to become an import- ant factor in the social and intellect- ual life of the camp. At the Majestic theatre each night is to be seen an exceptionally pleas- ing.entertainment. Aside from the other attractions, the story pictures are of the very best and interesting and instructive character, and the show throughout is Well worthy the large patronage bestowed upon it each night.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE McEnaney Makes Fine New Strike The McEnaney mine, just south of the big Hollinger, has made a new strike of considerable moment. The strike was made at the lower level, on a large quartz lead which had been drifted to some length. The quartz is so plentifully .sup- .plied with gold showings as to indi- cate high values and the ore bed is unusually extensive. It would not be surprising if the McEnaney would pick up some of the Hollinger leads, as the workings now in progress are not. far distant from the big mine. o o o o o o o o . 0:00 :«.«.oo.«:oo. .W a: u “a.” ’00:”:0 0:0 00 ’.« °.« a :“:'O .‘ Baseball SCH Goods ”9; O.
