Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association. all over the continent have crowded into Timmins and district beyond the natural power of absorption, with the result that there has been some unemâ€" ployment, with conditions consequentâ€" ly less favourable for business and progress. The amount spent in reâ€" lief and charity in the Town of Timâ€" mins during the past year or two has been much greater than should be reâ€" quired of a town this size. The trouâ€" ble has lbeen due, not to any fault of this town or district but to the fact that Porcupine has been used as a sort of last hope for the unemployed of all the country. The building and equipping of a new city here would have been accomplished without any interference with the general prosperâ€" ity had it not been that the district was called upon ‘to bear too great a proportion of the bhuden of general depression throughout the country. There has been a lull in the rush of unemployed to. town, however, and the town is accordingly having an opportunity to regain its former pleasant prosperity and progress. Office 26 THURSDAY, JANUARY 7th, 1926. PROSPECTS LOOK GOOD IN THE PORCUPINE CAMP A letter just received from a reader of The Advance, and dated Dec. 31st, 1925, has this to say :â€" Prospects for 1926 for Ithis Poreuâ€" pine (C‘amp promise to be much better than the previous year or two. (Genâ€" eral conditions in Canada appear to be improving, and the effect of this will naturally be felt in this Camp. During the past year or two men from The year 1926 not only promises to afford relief from the recent proâ€" blems imposed by outside conditions, but also to provide within the Camp prospects for improvement and inâ€" ereased opportunity for development. In the established mines of the disâ€" trict there will be increased activity and enlarged staffs. Newer properâ€" ties, notably the Paymaster, Ankerâ€" ite and Marsh (Gold, are installing mills and entering upon periods of active development and expansion. There are a number of new properâ€" ties likely to open up, and it is exâ€" pected there will be special activity in Denton, Keefer and other townâ€" ships near to Timmins. ‘The proâ€" spects for development in various section;; is of the best. There is reaâ€" son to hope that new capital is comâ€" iug into the district and that the area is entering upon another period of solid growth and â€" development. If Timmins and district follow the previâ€" ous plan of development without unâ€" due boom, it would appear from pregâ€" ent indications that 1926 will be one of the best years yet. Again, it may be emphasized that it is capital for the development of the resources of the country that is needed, not adâ€" ditions ‘to the population. (Given the eapital needed, the district will eventually provide almost unlimited employment and plogleav and prosâ€" perity for all. Toâ€"night at 12 o‘clock is the end of twentyâ€"five years of the twenvieth eentury, and just think what great things have happened in these 25 years. Here are some of them:â€"â€" First, the greatest war the world Thurs., January 7th, 1926 Third, airplanes are flying through the aur. Fourth: How many sutomobiles were there twentyâ€"five years ago? ‘Fifth: Whoever would have dreamâ€" ed twentyâ€"five years ago that one could put up a little instrument ealled a radio anywhere in town or woods and hear voices a thousand miles away. THE CHANGES IN THE LAST TWENTYâ€"FIVE YEARS. First, the ever saw. Second, Northern Ontario has beâ€" come one of the world‘s greatest gold and silver fields. Blind pigs and home brewâ€" eries have accumulated like wild rabâ€" bits. Seventh: While the authorities are busy with open eyes watching blind pigs, housebreakers, holdâ€"up men and thieves have their eyes wider open watching the authorities. _ And more might be said, but this is too much.

Speclal to â€" The Advance. ‘‘Dome Foam.‘ Mr. Robert Brown, who used to hbe on the Mine Engineering Staff here, and who is now manager at the Kerr Lake Mine, Cobalt, was visiting and renewing acquaintance _ with . his friends here last Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Hutchison have had an anxious time recently when Mary, their twelveâ€"yearâ€"old daughter, had to be operated on for acute apâ€" pendicitis. Ais is quite often with this malady, no warning was given until late and the operation ‘had to be performed at two am. Friday mornâ€" ing. We are all glad Ito hear that Mary is making a wonderful recovâ€" ery, and we sympathise both with the parents and the little sufferer in their troubles. Mr. Kenneth Dowsett leaves on Monday next to resume his studies at Upper Canada College. Mr. Richard Gegg returned to Gouâ€" dreaun on Saturday last after having spent a very pleasant vacation with his friends at the Dome. Mr. Bert Hocking must have deâ€" veloped his muscle through the holiâ€" days as he sure put the big drum on the kibosh at a band practice. The billiard ,tournament has come down to the final game which will ‘bhe played off next Monday evening, as Mr. Fred Hitt defeated Mr.â€"A. Harâ€" rower and Mr. P. Murphy beat Mr. C. V. Webster in the seémiâ€"finals. The thing is now to know if Hitt can hit Murphy. The Paymaster mill building is now completed and the installation of machinery will be commenced at once on the first unit of 150 touns. Mr. Fred Richards was confined to the house through a slight indisposiâ€" tion early this week. A despatch from Cobalt says that trapped at the bottom of a shaft, without a chance to escape, two men, one ofthem a bridegroom of eight days, ‘were killed instantly by a preâ€" mature explosion at the Hector silver mine, in Gillies Limit, a few miles from Cobalt, at five o‘clock Wednesâ€" day morning. The victims were Chas. W. Pattie, Frenchâ€"Canadian, and Frank Lunn a Finn. Both were young men. They had taken a conâ€" tract at shaft sinking, and were preâ€" paring to fire the holes they I#ad dglll- ed before coming off shift. Reports to the provincial police who investigated the tragedy indicate that a short fuse appears to have been resâ€" ponsible for the double fatality. The men were working alone at 500 feet, and the hoistman at surface, named Bourke, received no signals to haul them to the surface. He heard the explosion, and going down to investiâ€" ecate found both men dead. Mr. A. 8. Fuller is visiting alt St. Petersburg Florida, and will return the latter part of this month. Mrs. Fuller is escaping our northern winâ€" ter by vacationing in California. TWO MEN KILLED IN SHAFT OF MINE BY EXPLOSION. The Ankerite crusher ‘house steel work will be completed this week.and the erection of the steel superstrucâ€" ture for the mill will be commenced immediately. The bodies were terribly mutilated. The accident happened from the last hole loaded. Lunn was single, but Pattie was married a week ago to Miss Cote, of Cobalt, and he was working his first shift after his wedâ€" ding trip. ue Coroner Dr. Arnold, of Haileybury, opened an inquest Wednesday afterâ€" noon, but the proceedings were adâ€" journed to permit Mine Inspector J. (i. McMillan to return from Toronto. HERE SEEMS TO BE ONHE ‘THING MONEY WILL BUY The Ottawa Journal says :â€" ‘‘Mummie, why does Uncle John eat off his knife?"‘ queried the little darling. ‘‘Hush, dear!‘‘ replied mother in an agonized whisper. ‘‘Uncle John is rich enough to eat off the coal shovel if he prefers Mrs. H. Doelle and children have returned from their visit to the States during the Christmas holidays. We are pleased to hear that Mr. J. B. Porter is convalescing favorobly from the effects of his operation at the Timmins Hospital and he is exâ€" pected to be home by Saturday night. Mr. L. P. Marcell is expected back from his vacation the latter part of this week. Mr. J. Jago, of Detroit, brother to Charley, has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Libby this \\eek 4. The 8. P. F. D. Masquerade dance held on New Year‘s Eve was a comâ€" plete success and quite a number of Dome folks were there to trip the light fantastie toe. Three out of four of the prizes awarded for cosâ€" tumes were won by Dome dancers. Miss Jenny Alexander won one and her makeâ€"up as ‘‘Pocohontas,"‘‘ or may be it was ‘‘Hiawatha,‘‘ gained her many dancing sealps of the boys. Mr. Lindsay Foss as ‘‘Ivan, the Cossack‘‘ drew down another; he sure shows originality in his costumes. We didn‘t see any Vodka but we presume that Lindsay didn‘t forget that important detail. Mr. H. J. MeDonald won the gents‘ comic Mac acted as leader in the grand march and his graceful control of the intricate steps sure~showed ‘that he was there with the Turkish Deâ€" light. Miss Dowsett looked very boyish in her plus fours. Mr. George Rowe was a scream as Tough Mary of the Winegar Woiks, and Mr. R. Gegg, as the Midshipmite, was a warning to boys not to go to sea. As your correspondent didn‘t wait until the unmasking he is unable to comment on the other excellent costumes many of which were won by Dome folks. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The members of the St. John Amâ€" bulance Division No. 44 are advised that an important meeting will be held next" Tuesday evening. As there is another competition to be held in the near future, those who have any wish to take part are desired to attend and show a willingness to practice. As these competitions reâ€" quire a great deal of concentrated training which can only be secured by attending the practices, it is hopâ€" ed that an extra special effort to atâ€" tend will be made by the prospective competitors. Our division secretary, Mr. S. H. Phillips, has certificates and vouchers for quite a few of the members. These will presented next Tuesday evening also. A despatch yesterday from North Bay, says that Sam Lackie, locomotive engineer, was instantly killed late Tuesday afternoon when north and southbound freight trains collided head on in the T. N. O. railway yards at Mulock. Lackie was in charge of the southbound train. The crewj; of both ‘trains were North Bay men. Details of the accident have not vet reached North Bay. ELECTIONS FOR THE TOWNSHIP OF CALVERT. Mr. Leroux was elected Reeve of Calvert, winning over Mr. Gauthier by over 50 votes. . The following were elected as Councillors:â€"Messrs Montâ€" fort, Thayer, Smith, _ Lapalme. NORTH BAY ENGINEER KILLED IN COLLISION A report issued by G. W. Lee, chairman of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway Commusâ€" sion, is to the effecet that all members of the crews of the two freight trains which met head on at Mulock, with the exception of Engineer Sam Lackie, who was instantly killed, had escaped uninjured. The cause ofthe accident is still unknown ais the trains had meeting orders for Mulock. A full report of the accident has not yet been received. Both engines were badly damaged by the collision, but the line was reâ€" ported clear in a few hours. Lackie had been in the employ of the T. and N. 0. since 1909 and had a clear seryâ€" ice record.

HAYDEN MINE MAY START ACTIVE WORK IN SPRING Reports from the south are, to the effect‘ that there is strong likelihood of the Hayden mine, in Ogden Townâ€" ship, southâ€"west of Timmins, comâ€" mencing active and extensive developâ€" ment operations in the spring. Durâ€" ing a recent visit to Timmins, Mr. W. Hayden, the President informed The Advance that sufficient â€"work had been done on the property to indiâ€" cate that it was a mine of great promise. It was intended to secure ample finances, he said, and then inâ€" augurate a campaign of extensive development as well as providing for a mill of large tonnage. The mine, he emphasized, would not resume work until ample finances were availâ€" able. At the time of the interview with Mr. Hayden arrangements were under way to assure the proper finâ€" ancing. The reports from the south indicate that the arrangements have been satisfactorily concluded. This, of course, would mean that the Hayâ€" don will reszme operations on an exâ€" tensive plan in the early spring. It is to be sincerely hoped that the reports are accurate in all details and that the Hayden property is consequently given the fullest opportunity for deâ€" velopment and success.
