Mdltienal twenty Ihousand [loll- are mm to Revenue of the line BIG MIME MINE MAKE AIIIIHEB BIG SHIPMENI With a further shipment of bullion valued at $20,000 the Dome mine brought its total output to date up to $01,500. The gold was shipped to New York and the total represents the six weeks' output of the mill but by no means the total capacity as the mill is not yet in perfect running order nor is the entire stamp battery in operation. The shipment shows considerable speeding up since the Dome first opened its mill working at full ca- pacity and shipments going out re- gularly twice a. week. I'lll’llllfl HESIIIEIT HHS [IIHIISIISTIB SEMI-ll" W. Harmer, Well lumen and Well liked, leaves camp After long Residence Here plain “Bill" Harmer, had any doubt as to the place he held in the es- teem of the younger citizens of the camp. the splendid gathering last night to say farewell to him must have dispelled any such illusion. The number of gentlemen assembl- ed in the offices of the Townsite Company were gathered together in a very few minutes. and for a couple of hours.the extreme modesty of the guest of honor received a severe test. There were moments when “Bill" would have givon all he possessed to he on the outside looking in. but he withstood the ordeal fairly well and gracefully accepted all the nice things said about him. The evening was delightfully spent and the impromptu program gave every evidence not only of the es- teem in which the honored guest is held. but also of abundant talent of an exceptionally high order within the precincts of the camp when occa- sion demands such an oflering. Charley Weston was spokesman, and Charley is no novice in the art of filling this important position. He delivered a most appropriate address, and presented Mr. Harmer with a handsome silver cigarette case and valuable pipe. The recipient was certainly taken by surprise but expressed his thanks in a fitting manner. The function originated with Har- old Proctor. who is ever on the alert in such matters. and those con- tributing to the entertainment were ex. Brough, Gordon Wilson, Dr. butherland, Jack Easton. F. W. Frawley and W. G. Ferguson. while Moran and Bates’ harp orchestra enâ€" livened the proceedings with some really excellent music. During- the past two years Mr. Harmer has resided in the camp and has made a host of friends by his upright character and fine personal- ity. His large circle of friends are loath to lose him, but they are gratified to know that he is better- ing his position and will watch his career with keen appreciation. He goes to his home in Southampton for a short itime. and will later on settle in Western Canada. Vol. I. No. 9. U W. Harmer, popuhxrly known as The trip not only includes the in- spection o! the Hughes, but the en- tire part: is looking over the gold- bearing area of the district with a view to locating other properties of a likely character. Over thirty directors and friends of the Hughes mine in Whitney township are in the camp looking over this promising property. HUGHES MINE flfflfllAlS llfllfllfltll WITH VISII large Party Carefully Examine Property and Visit “was Nations line One main shaft is down to the 100- foot depth at the Hughes. and cross- cuts run to intercept the vein. At the 50-foot level drifting on the vein has been accomplished. A compressor plant and new 'boil- ers are to be installed. The machin- ery should be ready for operation within three weeks. The party went underground and were more than pleased with the showings at the 100-foot level. ae- lecting some excellent samples with plenty of free gold showings. 'I‘ he visitors to the Hughes also drove out to the Three Natione‘ mine, on invitation of the Manager, Mr. Angregon, and were very favor- ably impressed with the showings at. this mine, which they found to be exceptionally rich and not by any means exaggerated by previous re- ports. Returning from the anee Naâ€" tions the Hughes party also inspect- ed the rich samples from the former which are on exhibit at. the premises of Seguin Ber‘trand, and which were in charge of W. R. Baxter. At a meeting held in the private car by whiCh the party traveled, it was decided to at once instal a com- pressor and other necessary machin- ery, and as soon as possible to be- gin the erection of a stamp mill, which will be placed on order so soon as the party returns to Mont- real. Mr. Blanchett, the president, will again visit Porcupine next week, to complete arrangements for the recep- tion of the new machinery to be in- stalled at the Hughes. HIGH-RUSS BBNEEBI II PRESBVTEBIAN CHURCH Chas. I. Centre the Indian Enter- tainer amt lecturer Attracts large Audience A really delightful entertainment was that given in the Presbyterian church last Monday evening when Charles Cooke, the cim'er Indian lec- turer and entertainer, appeared in South Porcupine for the first time. The church was crowded to the doors, and so well it might be, for the entertainment was of an excep- tional character and pleased the large audience from the first number to the last. Mr. Cooke possesses a most pleas- ing address and is perfectly at home in song or story. His vocal capa- city is remarkable for one of his race, and his intellectual qualities are only excelled by the musical sweetness and melody of his voice. In dialect work he displayed a natural ability not gained by study, and this valu- able trait added finish to his ofier- ings. Every number was well receiv- SOUTH PORCUPINE, ONTARIO. CANADA, FRIDAY.

Miss Docker, who needs no introâ€" duction, and without whose name no local prOgram is complete, gave eVi- dence of power of elocution not com- mon in the most select circles of the art. and each number contributed by her was the signal for prolonged ap- plause. One can hear almost any rumor he wishes these days. There is no lack of “mining news" if Dame Rumor could only get her views into print. The “expert." of whom mention is made. in another column through an article from the Toronto Star. is also on hand at all hours with his fund of information (7) From various sources other than the above comes the an- nouncement that ”the camp is dead." Perhaps there is a reason for this pessimism. but if so it is not far to seek. We make hold to assert that Porcupine camp was neVer in such a promising condition. and we further assert that no indiVid- ual can direct attention to any other gold camp in the world that has made as rapid strides as Porcupine or finds itself in as secure a position in the same length of time and under as many trying difficulties. True, the stock market for Porcupines has goneâ€"for the pre- sent. at least. It could hardly be otherwise. The period of specâ€" ulation has passed for quick turn-overs in Porcupine shares. and at this writing we can see no influence sufficiently strong to boost the market. And ”the man who knows it all" could furnish a'newspapcr with abundant interesting “mining news" based on personal (1) observation. The public, so greatly disappointed, will not return to the Porcupincs for many months, which means that capital for min- ing purposes will be difiioult to procune. The Presidential campaign across the line contributes much to the withholding of American capital which otherwise would find its way into Porcupine properties, while the remarkable aetivity in real estate from Halifax to Vancouver is an important factor in conVerting capital from mining operations. Nevertheless, in taco of these apparent facts, Porcupine camp was never before in such a secure position. Those who have grown up with the camp, and who have been over its numerous trails and even casually inspected the showings of its vast area of mineralized exposures, are not easily led to the point of discouragement. They know full well that Porcupine is good todm, and will be better tomorrow It is not our intention to impress this fact up- on the public against its will. This we cannot accomplish. But we do look forward with implicit confidence to the time when this same public will again be scrambling for a slivc of the profits piling up from the operation of Porcupine gold mines. To reach this period will require great patience and an abunâ€" dance of private capital. Both of these essentials are at hand,and are being utilized every day. The public is in a position to learn all the facts regarding the camp, and it would be nothing short of presumption to endeaVor to enlighten a reading and energetic people on the subject. We are content to keep going ahead. The closing down of a certain property is of no concern to this paper or its manage- ment. For every one that closes down at least two new proper- ties will begin operations. They will not all be mines, but we may reasonably count on a few. There are many in the making, and we are prepared to gamble that all will not fail. During this period of public hostility the wildcat miners and brokers will be forced to retire from the scene of former activi- ties and systematic mining will proceed apace, demonstrating ev- ery day that Porcupine “has the goods."'" And it is more than probable that some legitimate and worthy propositions will be forced to abandon operations and await the coming of renewed confidence. Those who are able to “stay in the game," and who will stay in it, will reap their reward. for Porcupine camp is a gold camp the like of which has not yet been equalled on the face of the globe. Both mining and commercial pursuits will undoubtedly sufier in the meantime, but the great revival will be only delayed for a timeâ€"not indefinitely. would appear that his 1 never grow weary of 2' style and superb de- The Opening of Hotel Goldfields The Hotel Goldfields, the modern and charming new hotel at Timmins, was formally opened yesterday with- out any particular demonstration. The real opening of this new hos- telry will take place at the time the stamp mill of the Hollinger mine is set, in motion, when it is expected that the occasion will be one long to be remembered in the fast growing town of Timmins.

Inasmuch as 'the heaVy crushers cannot be had in time to complete the crusher house by June 1, the small grinders are to be used on the dump pile, where the rock is badly broken as it came from the drifts at No. llevel. This rock lrom the main dump will be put through the mill till the crusher house is com- pleted. There is every reason to believe that the Hollinger mill can be ready for operation on June ]. the date set for the opening of the Vipond. The big work yet to be finished is the lining of the tubes and the comple‘ tion of the cyanide tanks. Afterbe- ing put into place the lining must be set. which requires a few days' time. while the tanks must be tested out. The conveyor belt, the means by which the crushed rock will be taken from the small crusher to the stamps, will he in place before the end of the week, the frame now being up. Crush- ed rock will be conveyed almost im- mediately to the ore bin to be in readiness for stamp operation.

JUPIEEB MINES Hlllll THE ANNUM MEETING Head Dfiice Moved to Montreal ---Hieh fire at Mine, But No Estimate Eiven At the annual meeting of the Jupi- ter Mines, Limited, in Toronto last Monday, the financial report showed cash on hand and in bank to he $16,137.36 and supplies on hand $3,- 084.84. There were 1,679,471 shares out- standing on March 31 last, of which 500,000 were used in the purchase of the property. Out of the balance of the capitalization the company real- ized $444,671.80, and there remained in the treasury 320,529 shares. The election of directors and offi- cers resulted as follows: 11. J. Ham- ilton, Toronto, president; Thomas Gibson, Toronto, vice-president; Jas. Pearson, Toronto; R. W. Brigmockc, Haileybury; A. W. McDougald, Mont- real; secretary; K. F. Mackenzie, To- ronto; treasurer, Fayette Brown, Montreal. There are liabilities to the amount of $8.076.11 in accounts payable out- standing. The engineer’s report stated that 660 feet of sinking and 2,347 feet of drifting and crosscutting had been done. It was also stated that ore existed in all positions of the mine, but as it had not been blocked out on four sides no estimate of the ton- nage of the. ore body had been pre- pared. Ore averages from $20 to 3925 per ton. A by-law was passed authorizing the removal of the head office of the company from Toronto to Montreal, where it will be located in the Mark Fisher building. ll. Roy. president at the Three Xa- tions Mining company, arrived in Porcupine to make an inspection of the property. With him are a num- her of other Montreal men who are interested in the property and during this visit a decision will pl‘ululhly he reached as to whether the Three Na- tions is to start on the erection of a mill during the summer. Another small vein was encounter- ered in the crosscut at the Three Na- tions last Wednesday about 86 feet from the shaft. The stringer is about four feet wide of quartz containing a plentiful sprinkling of free gold. Underground developments at property look very promising. A new compressor and other ma- chinery will at once he installed. and it would not be surprising if a deci- sion was reached to erect a stamp mill.

Seams of free gold in the slates and conglomerates disappeared after 25 feet of rock from the bottom of the shaft had been cut through, indicating to the management that undoubtedly a very rich lead lies at depth below with the stringers as rich off-shoots. The management is desirous of cut- ting through the entire ridge for500 feet at the IUD-foot ICVcl in order to intercept and bring to \‘icw all the veins on the lot. and vonsequcntly no drifting was done on the stringers carrying \‘cl‘y rich in free gold.

The reason why the original plan to make the trip in June was given up, was because of the meeting" of the Imperial Chambers of Com- merce in London at that time, to which many of the members of the Ontario Associated boards will desire to go. The visitors do not Contemplate more than one day at Ilailcybury. All northern matters will be looked into during the trip. An attempt. was made by several of the members of Northern boards to induce the Ontario body to hold another session at the conclusion, possibly at North Bay, but on ao- eount of the fact that the members may become separated in their tour through different. parts this projetft may be possible. A business meeting will be held'at llaileybury for one day, after which a tour will be made through various parts of the north country by the members.
