The Haileyburian last week siys :=â€" Jackson, who with Angus and David MeNabb, spent the past few weeks in the Mattagami River country where the china clay deposits are loâ€" cated, returned to town last weekâ€" end. They brought with them some interesting samplegy.of the clay, as well as samples of fire clay which is found in layer covering the deposits of china clay. _ The latter is almost pure white and of a very fine grain, containing small particlee of silica sand. The fire clay is red in colour and is said to be of a very fine qualâ€" ity.. According to the report of these prospectors, fhere is almost an unâ€" limted quantity of the products, as the fields cover a wide area already explored and no one knows to what extent they extend into the unexplorâ€" ed country. Considerable prospecting has been done by the original disâ€" coverers of the deposits and a comâ€" pany has been formed with the object of developing the property. It is exâ€" pected that there will be a large inâ€" dustry grow up in the district, and it has been stated that an extension of the T. N. 0. Railway will be built to serve the district. STORE AT MATHESON DAMAGED BY A special despatch in The Nugget last week tells of the damaging by fire of the general store of R. C. Milâ€" ler at Matheson. The Nugget desâ€" patch says that the origin of the fire is unknown and continues:â€"*‘*The cash register with the drawer broken and its contents in cash removed and the adding machine were removed to the rear of the store house which is attached to the store close to door leading to the lane. The alarm was given before ten o‘clock and due to ithe excellent water supply and quick work of the fire brigade the fire was under control in a short time. There is a substantial insurance."‘ Experts have declared that the china clay found there is of the best grade obtainable anywhere, while the fire clay and other products which are found in connection will, it is said, prove a very important factor in the development. A seam of lignite coal is also present in that district lying below the deposits of clay _ Some pieces secured from an outeropping were according to Mr. Jackson, burnâ€" ed with success during the time the party was in the district. While the extent of the coal seam is not definâ€" itely known indications are that it is there in consflerable quantities and great hopes are expressed that the opening of that part of the country will be one of the greatest factors in the development of the North Counâ€" ty."? HAILEYBURY MEN RETURN WITH CHINA CLAY SAMTE MB. GEO,. W. LEE GIVING curuNE CuP 10 Mr. Geo, W. Lee, chairman of the T. N. 0. Commission, always shows a keen and helpful interest in this North Land, but it is well known that he has a particular love for hockey and an extra special particular love for curling. Further evidence of his goodwill and interest in the matter of the braw game of curling is given by the announcement this week that Mr. Lee is donating a handsome curlâ€" ing trophy for competion between Timmins, Iroquois Falls, South Porâ€" cupine nd Cochrane. The rules and regulations to govern the competition will be announced shortly and it is expected that the new icup itself will be on display in this part of the North in the very near future, so that all may see it. It will no doubt do much to increase interest in the North in the curling, as well as being a means of increasing acquaintance and goodâ€" will between the towns of this district The Standard Mining Exchange beâ€" lieves that the present year will be one of the most important in its hisâ€" tery. Members of that body believe that the mining industry is attracting the favourable attention of financial and business men generally here and overseas and that the present wear will be one of progress and development. Last week the Mining Exchange electâ€" ed its officers for the year and there was more than the usual interest. F. J. Crawford and N. C. Urquhart were elected president and viceâ€"president respectively, by acclamation. Mr. Crawford last year occupied the office of viceâ€"president and Mr. Urquhart was secretary. Draper Dobie was elected gsecretary for 1926. There were two members running for the offices of second viceâ€"president and secretary and 11 were trying for the five places on the directorate. The election resulted as follows: Presiâ€" dent, F. J. Crawford ; first viceâ€"presiâ€" dent, Norman ©€. Urqunart;; second viceâ€"president, F. M.

In commenting on this fact a Toronto newspaper says that it completes the plans of the Conseryvâ€" ative Association to have a branch actively at work in every part of Onâ€" tario. It is worthy of record, howâ€" ever, for another reason. At the last Provincial election (June, 1923) there were fortyâ€"seven votes cast for the two main party candidates. Neither the Labour candidate, John V anier nor the independent candidate Mr. Seymour, received a single vote at Moose Factory. Of the fortyâ€" seven votes, one was for J. R. O ‘Neill and the other fortyâ€"six for Mac Lang, the Liberal candidate. Under_ such cireumstances it is some feat to esâ€" tablish a Conservative Association at Moose Factory, surely. Mr. Sam Waller is the secretary of the Moose Factory Conservative Association and there are enough members also to provide the other necessary officers and also leave a number for ordinary members, so the Conservative cause has made many converts since 1923 at Moose Factory. ANOTHER WOLF YARN NOW LOOKS VERY QUESTIONABLE. balt. It was a goodâ€"looking yarn and was used to prove that wolves do acâ€" tually attack human beings. A man siving the name of Benison and statâ€" ing that he was a fur buyer from Hamilton, Ont., was alleged to have told a big story of being attacked by wolves, while driving a dog team. He claimed the wolves killed three of his dogs and that he shot four of the wolves and eventually managed to make his escape from the pack. Howâ€" ever, he also claimed that as a result of the encounter he had been rendered speechless. « He spent some days in the Cobalt hospital and then went on to Sudbury. At Sudbury he was again supposed to reâ€"lose his voice and he was once more treated in the hosâ€" pital. On the plea of going down town to attend to some banking busiâ€" ness he left the hospital for an hour or two. Taxi drivers who had dealâ€" ings with him say that his voice was all right. Maybe he lost his memory, for it is claimed that he neglected to pay his hospital bill and some other accounts though he had over $500.00 in bills with him. He has disappearâ€" ed now according to the police, and a warrant has been issued for his arâ€" rest. Doubt is now quite general in regard to his story. Evidently the man had read The Toronto Star too much. Some weeks ago there was g roâ€" mantic wolfâ€"story sent out from Coâ€" Only $1.59 DON‘T MISS THEM Special at $1.95 Special at 75¢c. ECLIPSE LAST YEAR WAS ON SATURDAY, JAN. 24th. Some local people this week early got into an argument as to the date of the eclipse last year. Some put it as early as January, and some as late as September, which shows how unâ€" trustworthy memory may be at times. The Advante was called upon to deâ€" cide the question, and consultation of the fyles of the paper showed that the eclipse was held on January 24th, and though the weather was not any too favourable the event was not postponed.
