Miss Isola Cheaney and Mr. Hugh Franklin Barber, of Moonbeam, were united in manriage by Rev. Norman Rawson at Cobalt on December 30th. After the ceremony there was a wedâ€" ding supper and a pleasant social evening at the home of Mtr. and Mrs. Storey LISKEARD GIVES TIMMINS CREDIT FOR CLEAN HOCKEY. In the writeâ€"up of the week‘s hoeâ€" key, The New Liskeard Speaker last week says :â€"‘*The Liskeard boys were given a rough passage at Iro. Falls At Timmins the boys enâ€" countered _ anâ€" altogether _ different stamp of team. _ The Timmins boys played good clean hockey and alâ€" though the Liskeard boys probably had the greater number of shots on goal, they found Melntyre: a past master at goal clearing. _ The teams were very close until the last period, when, with a forward line composed Further than this I am certain that you would return to England with a new conception of the cause of English losses in this field. You would, in every instance I have goai, tiney Tound Mcintyre: a past master at goal clearing. _ The teams were very close until the last period, when, with a forward line composed of Thompson, Hogg and Spence, the Liskeard boys came through with a couple of goals in quick succession. Alex Hogg, who played a considerâ€" able part of the game on the line, scored two goals, the other two seâ€" eured by Liskeard going to the eagleâ€" eyed Thompson. We are told that all the boyvis played good hockey, Meâ€" Cann in goal, being especia‘ly good. eured by Liskeard ; eved Thompson. all the boyis played Cann in goal, being ably shown by the fact that only 2.8 per cent. of the capital invested in Northern Ontario at the end of 1022 was from the British Isles. This is all preliminary to the burâ€" den of my song. I.am confident, Sir, that if you or any _ member of your staff could spend the time that I have spent in the last year and nine months in close contact with Onâ€" tario‘s Gold Mining Industry you would, . while not ignoring â€" several serious fiascoes, return the verdict that as a whole, Northern Ontario will rank with any Camp in the world as a camp upon which by far the greater effort has been spent in conâ€" scientious â€" determined development. looking to the rewarding of the inâ€" vestor who shares the risk with the prospector and financier. We English may justly claim to be the greatest (Gold Miners in the world. I do not here refer to methâ€" thods or claim supenior ability, but Africa, India, Australia, the Yukon, the Gold Coast and other famous fields all tell the story of British exâ€" ploration _ and _ development, _ yet strangely enough the activity of the English Gold seeker seems to have turned to warmer climes and this newest and perhaps greatest of Gold discoveries has had only his superâ€" ficial attention. This is incontrovertâ€" Sir :â€"If anyone is entitled to inâ€" voke that much abused quality known as ‘‘British Fair Play‘‘ in reference to the Gold Mining Industry in Canâ€" ada in general and the Province of Ontario in particular, I think it is the English Mining Engineer, who has come to the fields, gone through the Mines and lived with the sturdy, aggressive and dependable men who have built up, in the face of the most severe handicap, one of the leading Gold producing Camps in the World. yielding in 1924 _ approximately £6,000,000. The Advance confessed much more than just ‘‘interest‘‘ in the letter, and feels that all readers will find it cpecially worthy of perusal. Here is Mr. Treloar‘s letter to The Statist : To the Editor of the London Statist. Thefirst of the two letters referred to is simply a sovering note to The Advance. *‘You may be interested,"‘ writes Mr. Treloar, ‘‘in receiving a copy of the enclosed letter which, in ustice to the Mining Industry of Onâ€" tari0o and in view of recent attacks, I have directed to the Editor of The London Statist."" telling points made.. His attitude in this matter will give an idea to the thoughtful as to just why the British have gained preâ€"eminence in the gold mining industry. In a word it is the true sporting spiritâ€"the idea of a fair word and a square deal. _ More power to the Treloars ! The Advance would like to preface the following letters with an expresâ€" sion of thanks and appreiation to Mr. K. M. Treloar, Mining Engineer, not only for the spirit of his reply to The London Statist, but even more for the facts, the sound sense and the telling points made..

The Ramblers Club held their usual weekly entertainment in the Hollinâ€" ger Hall, Tuesday evening of last week when they opened the New Year with a Masquerade.

Then there will be registered a vindication, not of the Ontario Gold. Fields, which need no vindication, but of the proâ€" verbial English enterprise and intelâ€" ligence as relating to mining. Yours very truly, K. M. Treloar, M. E. Experience in the great new fields of Ontario compells me in fairness to Canadians and Canadian mining to write this letter from the viewpoint of an English Engineer in Canada. 1 realize the need for more intensive study of the field by British Enâ€" gineers. I realize how far beyond us the Canadian and American Engineers have gone in their mastery of the geological and engineering problems. I realize that this is not a soft counâ€" try and that the pioneer work of the Canadian Prospector has been magâ€" nificent, in the face, of hardship which we cannot conceive unless we Are on the ground. But most of all I reaâ€" lize how rich‘y ‘‘the men of the But, as in the direction of the Emâ€" pire as a whole, ‘‘Downing Street treatment‘‘ will not enrich nor will it even protect the British investor. ‘‘Absenteeism‘‘ is a beam in the British Engineering eye, that sees only the mote in the eye of Ontario mining. Despite this, I venture the opinion that His Majesty‘s Mails carry mone divident @heques from Ontario on the home voyage than investors‘ money on the trip to Canada. The Mines are open to any responsâ€" ible person, I found every means at my disposal for getting accurate inâ€" formation at practically every proâ€" ducing miné and development. Here in Ontario are the faecilities for every one to ascertain the facts about any property. The (Governâ€" ment Department of Mines mainâ€" tains a staff which deals in hard, cold facts.

I do not mean to reâ€" fleet upon the integrity of these Engineers. The facts need not be characterized by such vigorous terms as your own. Surely the memories of South Africa have not faded from the Briâ€" tish mind. We have had our fakirs.
