“K PREMIER Blllllll All] HIS BflVEfllMENI WIN flifllfiWE VIBIIIBV. The Provincial elections were held in Quebec on Wednesday and result.- ed in the return of Sir Imr Guoin as premier with a majority of 47. The Liberals loot only one seat. that being Toni-humus. where (‘barlos Devlin. of Ottawa, wen de- (rated. The Conservatives lost the seats and gained (our. Th. result in not surprising in po- litical circles, as it was generally undfrstood that Premier Guoin and his government wuuld he sustained. No large issues entered the contest, and the contest resolved itself into a straight party struggle. in which the government loroee won out. The shaft at the Mulholland has now reached a depth of 170.!eet and will be continued to 200 feet. Sinking is being done by hanéwork and will be continued by this mo- thod- until indications warrant the installation of a plant. A level has been established at 90 feet and the dip of the vein ascer- tained. The shaft is now off the main Vein but is going through a Very promising shear zone, the rock that is being taken out all contain- ing values that will pay a profit on recovery. .1 0“ V0]. 1.

Lady 'I‘upper, wife of Sir Charles ‘Tupper, died Saturday at Bentley- beath, Kent... Eng. [MW IIIPI’EH PASSES AWAY IN [NSlANfl Sixty-five Years at Married life Brought to Sudden Ending Lady Tupper’s maiden name was Frances Amelia Morse, and she was the daughter of Silas Hibbert Morse of Amherst, N. S. She married on OCtOber 8, 1846, Sir Charles Tup- per, who later became prime minis- ter of Canada. and filled two terms as high commissioner for Canada in London. There were great celebrations on the 50th anniversary of their wedâ€" ding on Ontober 8, 1896.. in Ottawa, when they were presented with many souvenirs, including a gold eperg'ne from the Conservative members of the Senate, a. solid gold salver from the Conservative members of the house of commons and a handsome silver'gilt e'pergne from the Conser- vatives of Halifax, N. S. Sir Charles Tupper is still living, thongh some time ago his condition was reported as critical. One son is Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper. at one time a Dominion Cabinet Minister.

A new gold camp that promises to be a genuine find has been discover- ed on the National Transcontinental route. in the district intaediately south of Hurricana. a rapidly grow- ing town 140 miles east of Coch- rane in Ontario. Many mining men whose names are well known throughout the north have already acquired interests in Kienawisik. A crown lands office has been started at l-lurricana and a large store with a complete stock of pros- pectors' supplies has been opened, so that the spring rush will probably bring this New Grand Trunk Pacific town .well into the limelight. Five gasoline boats have been brought'to the town and tickets are being sold direct from Cochrane to Kienawisik by rail and water. Officials For New Judicial District The first appointments for the disâ€" trict of Temiskamim: have been made by the provincial secretary in the naming of three justices of the peace in the newly created district. Appointménts have been made as follows: William Struthers. J. P., Imquois Falls; George H. Keeler, J. 1)., Peal-sons; George Penman, Brethour. The justices of the peace who for- merly held office in the new district under the district of Nipissing no longer have any jurisdiction. The new justices are appointed on recommendation. These three appointments are the first of a long list that will be made by the Provincial and Dominion gov- (Mrnment Most of the appointments are to be made by Secretary W. J llanna. Prospecting on the Hughes is meeting with considerable success. z A new stringer has been encount- lered in the crosscut .that is being idriven south at the 100â€"foot level: i bout, ‘35 feet away from the string? her that was cut into last week. . This new find is about36 feet {away from the shaft and is running Esquare across the crosscut in the ésame direction as the vein that was iuncovered on the surface and en- !countéred at the 50-foot‘level. g Judging from the dip of the vein las disclosed at the sub-level there is 'still 30 feet of crosscutting to do 'at the lOO-foot before it is discover- ed and the presence of a stringer 15 gfeet wide at. this distance from the main vein indicates the existence of a considerable body of value bearing rock. With the installation of a com- pressor at the HUghes which will shortly be made the work of opening up this prospect will be hastened, it then being possible to start drifting on the vein. SOUTH PORCUPINE, ONTARIO. CANADA NEAR FAMINE POINT AT PORCUPINE ! New Steam Plant For Deloro Mine George Farish, manager ,of the Do- bie, paid a visit to the Armstrong- McGibbon claims in Deloro last week and preparations are being made for thoroughly proving up these properties which have been turned over by the owners to the sharehold- ers of the lluhic. A steam plant will be installed on the properties and a shaft sunk to ascertain what values exist at depth on them. The above was published Globe last. Thursday. UIVUU DUIUU punâ€"u--.- From first to last we belieVe the item is simply a com- mon. ordinary, died-in-the‘wool party newspaper lieâ€"not one 0! those statements known in society as ”falsehood" or “iabrioa- tion”â€"-but just a mean. contemptible lie. And. aside from that, it’s publication has aroused great anx- iety in the far-of! homes of many residents of. the camp. Two young men in Porcupine have received letters from their homes enclosing the clipping from the Globe, and asking ii conditions are really as bad as the so-called despatch would indicate. There has not been the slightest shortage in camp of meats or vegetables since the entry of the '1‘. 6:. N. O. rai,way, and the milk supply has also been suiiicient. Beside, all orders plaoed with outside houses for supplies were delivered as usual, with the exception of a brief delay in transferring them from one train to another during the repairs to the bridge at Bob-ton Creek. The unkind and ungallant reference to our dependency on Southern Ontario is an impertinent insinuation, especially so, coming from a Canadian journal styling itself “Canada’s national newspaper." The Globe seems to overlook the Value to the na- tion of this wonderful Iterritmy, and is content to publish the slur that we are dependent on the south. WWWHW vul‘ov 7"! ‘vâ€"v â€"v. The time is not far distant when Porcupine will not be de~ pendent on any other portion 0f the province for anything it re- quires. True, we cannot eat gold, but we are satisfied that there are many people, even in Toronto, who would be glad to exchange grub for gold. I A LL!_ -....___ -“u â€"-__ It might, be well for the (Elobe to remember that this oppor- tunity is fast disappearing, and that the south may yet knock at our door for many of the necessities of life not at present pro- duced here, but for the immense production of which tremendous preparation is being made with the most promising and encour- aging results, and amid conditions which yield readily to the un- dying faith and neverâ€"ending energy and enthusiasm of the real Northern Ontario citizen, and which cannot be subdued by the per- sistent hostility of a disappointed party organ. A . g ‘ ‘ It is readily admitted that certain influences of both good and evil nature have militated against the camp to such an extent that the public have practical.)' abandoned all transactions in Porcupine stocks, which means that for many months our difli- culties Will be many and our pathway none too smooth or rosy. But if we are willing to Struggle on amid the vicissitudes thus arising, and through no fault of our own, surely we should receive at least a few words of encouragement rather than hard knocks wherever opportunity is afforded the knocker. We are ready and willing to stand behind the Timmins, and other of their ilk, who have spent and are spending millions to prove that Porcupine is and will be a greater gold camp than has been, and we are not likely to be discouraged by the loquaoity of a journalistic despot which cannot curb its anger in the face of defeat, and whose only regretsfems to be that the Great Porcuâ€" pine is still in the possession 0f the Canadian people.
