Whatever he is destined to achieve is likely to be well on the way to accomâ€" plishment during the next ten years. This is the age when his children grow from babyhood to man or womanhood. Then he has acquired some experience and a broader vision ; he looks on life calmly, and in each succeeding year makes additional grovision for a comfortable old age and for the protection of his amily, in case he should not reach old age. This is the age at which it is imperative he should see that the education of his children is provided for in such a way that his sudden withdrawai from the scene will not prevent their receiving the education he intends they shall.

Geology Very Favourable Gradually, a large measure of inâ€" terest is being centered in what is now â€" often referred to as the "Smooky Falls Coal Area.‘‘ The . 5.00 a.m. Daily North Bay work in progress along\ the banks of the Mattagami River is coming in for increasing publicity. Mr. C. M. McCarthy has been a pioneer in imâ€" pressing upon the public the importâ€" ance of the coal fields he believes ‘to exist north of Cochrane. So well has he devoted the theory of a big coal area north of Cochrane that the matâ€" ter is now attracting very general attention. The Advance believes that the establishment of a coal industry in the North would be the biggest thing that has happened to this North Land in a generation. It would hbe equally important to the Province and the Dominion. It would mean, in large© measure, the freeing of this country from dependence on the unâ€" certain supply of coal from the anâ€" thracite fields of the United States. or 20 miles from the original claims is now being recorded. The country At the present time there does not seem to be anything in particular that the public can do in the matter, exâ€" cept to give a kindly hearing to those who are spending their time and money to prove their belief of the exâ€" istence of coal north of Cochrane in paying quantities and superior qualiâ€" ty. The pioneers in the matter deâ€" serve the best encouragemnt. Too much publicity can not be given aâ€" long the right lines.

Dozens of outerops of a low grade coal, lizâ€" nite, have been known for years to exâ€" ist along the banks of the Mattagami and nearby rivers. Beds of good coal are believed to be beneath these. From what it learns of the geology The Northern Miner would certainly hesitate to say that good grade coal in commercial quantities will not be found, if it has not already been locatâ€" ed by drilling. There is nothing against such a splendid development exeept the public impression that good coal does not exist in Ontario. The last twenty years have seen many popular prejudices upset in Northern mining. The finding of good coal in shlppmv quantities in Northern Ontario would be the greatest mining development, in public estimation, in provincial history. It would cause an execiteâ€" ment beside which the Red Lake fever would look pallid. Geologieally, The Miner is told by experts, the formsâ€" tion is similar to that in which good grade coal is found in other parts of Canada. â€"(GHlacial erosion in the viciniâ€" ty has been extremely even, accountâ€" ing for the fact that only the upper beds, of lignite, have ~been exposed, so far as is known."‘! punch for the dance Special Hostess Package A new way of packing "Canada Dry."

McDONOUGHS REPORTED T0 HAVE GLOSHD DFAL Reports are now current to the effect that the MceDonough Brothers and associates have closed a deal for a big group of claims in the Birch Lake gold area. The MceDonough deal is the first one of jmportance to go through in connection with any Birch Lake clafms. Prospectors who have been in the area state that free gold is in noteworthy evidence in the Birch Lake area and that this part of the country has particularly rich ore and apparently lots of it. One prospector who was at Birk Lake reâ€" cently said it had the rest of the Ked Lake area beattn to a frazzle. The McDonoughs are not saying much aâ€" bout it exeept to show their samples when oceasion suggests and to state that there is goldâ€"bearing ore on the properties and that the claims are wellâ€"mineralized and apparently have the goods. No announcement has been made as to the personnel of the purchasers of the Birch Lake claims. It is stated, however, that strong financial and mining men are behind the deal, that On Thusday evening of last week the staff of the National Grocers, Timmins, held a social evening in honour of Miss /C.

Mr. Neh Faulkenham, oldâ€"time pro4 sprector of this part of the Nortk Land, and now the first storeâ€"keeper at Red Lake, was in town last week. He told The Advance of the first tragedy on the Red Lake trail,â€"the loss of two young men from‘a eanoe some days ago. He was on his way to catch the train and so could not give details of the accident. **‘You will find a fairly good account of it in ‘The Star,‘‘ he said. In a deâ€" spatch from Hudson on Wednesday last The Star says :â€" ‘*Yesterday Neh Faulkenham, one of the pioneers of the Red Lake camp, arrived here, the first man out since the breakâ€"up, and he brought with him tragie news. ‘*Shortly before the winter trail disappeared three ago, two young Englishmen, Stanley Quinn, agâ€" ed 20, and Sydney Stebbings, 23, arâ€" rived from Toronto with the intention of going to Red Lake on a prospectâ€" ing adventure. They had been only six months in Canada, having spent the greater part of last year in a walkâ€" ing tour through France and Algiers. Stehbmga, a journalist, was in search of material. ‘*The pair were illâ€"equipped and utâ€" terly inexperienced. They had four dogs and no dog feed, and Provincial Constable Patrick Jago forbade them to start. They complied with the order and on his advice made camp here, waiting for open water. â€" Meanâ€" while they outfitted with an eighteen foot canoe and employed themselves in making a sail for it, which Jago promptly seized and burned as a meaâ€" sure of safety. ‘‘Last Thursday they took to the water and bade Constable Jago a friendly farewell at the dock. ‘*‘There canoe was well loaded and the last thing I told them was to stick close to the shore all the way, and if it started to blow, to make for the nearest point,‘‘ Constable Jago told The Star toâ€"day. ‘*Their plan was to follow the winâ€" ter route portaging from lake to lake between here and Lac Seul and then to skirt the northeastern shore of the big lake till they reached Pine Ridge. ‘*Faulkenham brought word with him that they had apparently drownâ€" ed as they entered the swells on Lac Seul at the mouth of the Canoe river. On Sunday afternoon an Indian namâ€" ed William Briskett arriving at Lue Seul post told the factor there that he had seen a waterlogged canoe near the mouth of the Canoe river about five miles east of the post. Stanley Westly, another Indian, who had seen Quinn and Stebhbhings on one of the lakes to the north of here went with Briskett and located the canoe, beachâ€" ed and full of water on the shore of Lac Seul. A water soaked dunnage bag, two Stetson hats, and a floating paddle told the story. 6 € (‘1\}\0#.) l\]:n IO)NI\ ]nn i o fi\-l"!l" ‘-1\ ‘‘Constable Jago leaves toâ€"day to take charge of the two boys effects but ‘does not expect that it will be possible to recover the bodies for a week or two.
