ANOTHER NEAR Stan's. Prior to the above sad occurrence two young men who are working in South Porcupine had narrow escapes from drowning and it was only through the instrumentality of Butch Burns in reaching the scene that they were saved from a watery grave. At about 10.30 on the same morning these two went for a canoe ride on the lake and so far as The Advance could gather from either ol them they were not very familiar with the rudiments of handling a canoe. According to the version of one the craft began to "swirl" rep‘ idly and capsized. For over half an hour the two were in the water. one being able to swim a little and the other not at all.

These claims carry a number of quartz veins and a number of outcrops have been located which give indications of good value in gold, but not sufficient development work has been done to determine actual values. The property is equipped with camp buildings and other requisites for carrying on mining and develop- ment work.
