It was a very difficult matter at first to get the atâ€" tention of a strong financial concern, and it was only through a personal connection that he obtained the necesâ€" sary fund for mining in Northern Onâ€" tario. One of the redeeming features of Harris Consolidated Company, in the opinion of the English financiers, is the fact that the properties are enâ€" tirely paid for and the company free from debt.

A. BOGERT, : BRIDE OF FEW WEEKS | SUFFERS PARALYTIC STROKE DIAMOND DRILLING FOR COAL NORTH OF COCHRANE The Haileyburian last week says: ‘*Mrs. (GGieo. Duclos (nee Miss J. A. Qliver) of Elk Lake, suffered a paraâ€" vytic stroke in her home this week and is seriously ill as a result, She was formerly a resident of Haileybury and has many friends here who will learn with great regret of her illness. Mr. and Mrs. Duclos were married here on New Year‘s Day. Mrs. R. J. Oliver, her sisterâ€"inâ€"law, went to Elk Lake on Tuesday and Mrs. Duclos is being taken today to the Mines Hosiâ€" tal at Cobalt for treatment.‘‘ ‘*Diamond drilling in the prospecâ€" tive coal field in the Mattagami Kiver area north of Carrying Place has not been very successful as yet. The first hole was put down three or four miles from the original indications. The piping was extended to about 170 feet in depth without encountering solid structure. Trouwble was experienced with pipes breaking and the hole had to be abandoned. A second hole is now in progress at a point closer to the river. ~ Observers are mystified over the drilling being done so far from the original indications. It is difficult to understand that if eoal was indicated at a depth of about 113 feet more than a year ago at a point close to the river, why the present explovnation campaign should not have been centred there for the purpose of securing confirmation or otherwise.‘‘ The above paragraph would have been much more helpful to the public, and much more informative, if Mr. McRacâ€"â€"had interviewed those in charge of the diamond drilling and found out from them or from the management why the procedure sugâ€" gested is followed. No doubt there is good reason, and to leave the matâ€" ter the way it is left does not illumiâ€" nate the situation or assist in letting the public know whether there is coal in commercial â€" quartities north of Cochrane.

PROPERTIES IN CLERICY BEING CLOSELY EXAMINED "In New Liskeard there were so many Englishmen in the local company that when they left for the front, the local Sons of Britons Lodge had to be closed down for the time. A letter in a Toronto newspaper has started a discussion as to the reâ€" lative merits of nativeâ€"born and Oldâ€" Countryâ€"born Canadians. Such a discussion is necessarily unprofitable and of illâ€"effect. Both proved themâ€" selves true men in the great war, and to go further than that is likely to breed unnecessary animosties. In such a discussion misâ€"statements are likely to be made on both sides, and no good results. There is a chance for harm. The (ilobe and The Star, of Toronto, have ‘both had their say, and the outâ€" come has not been much for the adâ€" vantage of anyone concerned. _ The New â€" Liskeard Speaker, however, has joined in the _ discussion and seems to have cleared the air, leaving the subject clarified, and no doubt all feeling satisfied that Oldâ€"Country folks make good Canaâ€" dians, and Canadians are loyal always to the Empire and the right. In a front page editorial last week The Speaker sums up the situation in the following article :â€" ‘‘None can honestly belittle the splendid part the English born in Caâ€" nada took in the war, nor the Canaâ€" dians either, but it is nonsenical and harmful to institute comparison, when all did so well. The second operation is an ing driven into a large lmnl} to large surface showings of c ite. While the tunnel was solely from the standpoint o mical mining, yet the surfac with seams of chaleopyrite. NOW THE TEMISKAMING ENGLISH ANSWERED CALL ‘*The Daily Star takes the Globe to task for publlshms._ a letter without comment which alleges that Canadians did not take the active part in the war they should in comparison with the part taken by the English living in Canada. It was alleged that ‘‘eightyâ€" five per cent. of the enluisted men were born in the oldâ€"country, and that seventyâ€"five per cent, of . them were Englishmen.‘ ‘*The Star‘s figures puts the matter right, and for the satisfaction of the inquisitive : Total enlistments in Canada .. 619,636 Born in Canada :.;. 318,705 Born in Englind ......... ... 156,677 Born in‘ Sceotand ........ .}... . 47 432 Bornâ€" in ‘Ireland.. ; . 19,342 Showed Great Anxiety to Get Into Firing Line in the Great War. Some Remiscences. *A few months after the war broke out, the writer was in Victoria, B.C., and saw an Englishnan who had come from hundreds of miles in the Southâ€" ern Pacific on his way back to Engâ€" land to enlist, while there were three who came from the shores of the Areâ€" tic Ocean, also on their way **Home did so well. oper of econoâ€" ce is shot i adit o tap tw chaleop:s s locate The Finaneial Post in a récent isâ€" sue says :â€" ‘*There may be sermons in stones and running brooks and good in everything, yet to the casual or to the unobservant eye, the good which lies on the surface is usually so apparent that it perhaps does not receive the attention which it deserves. An inâ€" tance of this lies in a meeting of one of the weekly service luncheon elubs in Montreal. ‘*It is, of course generally realized that these elubs do a not inconsiderâ€" able amount of good work in social service way, but perkaps they achieve much greater results in other direcâ€" tions. At this particular luncheon, a French Roman Catholie Montreal business man presented a clock to a Methodist parson jand in sinecerity wished him God speed in the new work to which he had been called in another province.
