PINE RIDGE HAS GROWAN FROM POST T0 ViLLAGE Rev. J. Maxwell Allen was the first pastor â€" of _ Timmins Presbyterian chureh, and was very generally popuâ€" lar here. He left here to enlist for service overseas, and on the concluâ€" sion of the war he renewed his studies at Queen‘s University. _ Latterly he has been stationed at Capreol, and the In Six Months Has Grown From Hudâ€" son Bay Post to a Regular Tentâ€" ; ed Gity. met l’O]‘mliS. ‘‘"In, the early part of this year the population of Pine Ridge consisted of a Hudson‘s Bay Company‘s facâ€" tor, his wife and family and one or two Indian families. Its buildings were whitewashedâ€"a typical trading post and at that time its only visitors with rare exceptions, were Indians, who came to trade. "©Even three months ago Pine Ridge was a comparatively unimporâ€" tant point on the map. Its chief claim to recognition was only in the fact that it had provided shelter and a stopping point for some of the men who had mushed their way in midâ€" winter into Red Lake in order to be among the first to stake claims there. ‘"‘But times have changed. Today around the Hudson‘s Bay. Comâ€" pany‘s store has sprung up a tented city in mushroom formation. Some retiring behind log and frame buildâ€" ings.

The change was wrought on the strength of Pine Ridge being the common point of contact between two great prospective wmining fieldsâ€"Red Lake and the Woâ€" manâ€"Birchâ€"Cat â€" Lake â€" section. The population varies but can be estimatâ€" ed at 100 with another 100 souls beâ€" ing **‘on the move,"" either coming or coing from one or the other helds. Writing from Pine Ridge some lays ago a correspondent of one of be daily newspapers says:â€" ~«*This desolate spot in the stretches f Northwestern Ontario â€" which as ecently as six months ago was a comâ€" nunity only of a store, a warehouse ind three log eabins, has reverted alâ€" nost over night into an embryonic BLACK LEATHER BAG WITH BABY CLOTHES, FOUND NO MILL LIKELY FOR THE CONIAURUM TILL NEXT YEAR A lady picked up a black leather shopping hbag on the road between Timmins and South Poreupine last week, the bag containing a quantity of baby‘s elothing. The owner may secure the return of the bag and articles by calling at The Advance office. [ The Norther Miner in its issue last week says.â€" ‘*Coniaurum‘s shaft on the Newray property is now down 1600 feet and as soon as loading pockets are cut lateral work will be started at the 1500â€"foot level. This is expected to be awhout the end of July. *Approximately the same plan of exploration will be followed out at the 1250 and 1500â€"foot levels, as on the 750 and 1000â€"foot levels, that is long drives to the south, north and west where the best bodies have been located so far. It is believed that at 1250 and 1500 feet more favorable geological conditions will be‘ found than at the upper levels. ‘*‘While shaft sinking. was in proâ€" gress one drill continued exploration at the 1000â€"foot level west where a new vein was developed. It is of good grade, but comparatively short. ‘‘Reports that a mill is being talkâ€" ed of (to be started in two months, according to one story) for the Coniâ€" aurum are a little premature. A comâ€" pany official tells The Miner that no mill will be thought of until there is two or three years‘ ore ahead. The mistake of building too soon will not be made, he declared. ‘*Another executive said that a mill would be erected when and if sufficient ore to justify it was deâ€" veloped. Much depended on the 1500â€"foot level, he thought. ‘‘As it will talke the reimainder of the year and part of next to develop the 1250 and 1500â€"foot levels it can be seen that the mill can hardly be seriously considered hbhefore 1927."" ing May 31.

A. Young. Although the auâ€" thor makes for it no more ambitious claim than that it is intended to serve as a introduction to the study of the subject, the reader is amazed and deâ€" lighted with the great amount of deâ€" tailed information that has been conâ€" densed in readable style into about two hundred and fifty pages of octavo size. It represents an approximate estimate of our knowledge of the weology and mineral possibilities of the country, a survey of the whole field by one who is eminently qualified for the task. It sets forth concisely ie present status of the subject and does indeed serve admirably as an inâ€" troduction to an intensive study of the geology and mineral wealth of Canada.

In some of course, there is the idea that Red Lake will eclipse the other gold camps of the North, but one prospector at least has an opposite opinion. This is Mr. John Jones who spent considerable time at Red Lake and staked a numâ€" ber of claims there. ‘‘Red Lake is all right,"‘ he said, *‘but it never will be the equal of Poreupine.

The deal was satisfactory to the town and to Mr. Moore no doubt, but Toby and his partner did not recognize the trade. The new team was duly delivered to town, and on Friday the greys were taken to Mr. Moore‘s place. But when evening came, there werethe two old greys at the town stable pawing for admission and refusing to be turned away. They had made a getaway from their new place. To one of the police force, Toby explainâ€" ed confidentially that, without findâ€" ing any fault with their new place, the old greys felt that by their faithâ€" ful service on the fire wagon and for the public works department, they had surely earned something better than summary dismissal. ‘*The new council is hard on us oldâ€"timers,"‘ Toby told another old friend, *‘ but they will be hunting a long time beâ€" fore they find others that will serve them as earnestly and efficiently."‘ ‘*However,"‘‘ the old horse concluded with a laugh, ‘‘they haven‘t used us old horses as mean as they‘ve treated the old Mavor."
