In connection with the celebration at Haileybury of the diamond jubilee of confederation there were some feaâ€" tures worthy of special note and in which the people of this North Land will have particular interest. In reâ€" porting the matter last week The Haileyburtan says :â€"â€" + m T ‘"‘These were Mrs. A. Miron, who received the prize of a $5 umbrella as the lady who had spent the greatest number of years in the dlstnct and Mr. George David MceLaren, w ho reâ€" (ened a fine new cane in the gentleâ€" men‘s class. UNUSUAL FEATURES AT HAILEYBURY CELEBRATION "Two Haileybury residents were awarded prizes at the Jubilse Celeâ€" bration on Friday as being the longâ€" est continuous residents of the North who attended the ceremonies which marked the Dominion‘s sixtieth birthâ€" dav. ‘*‘Mrs, Miron first came to Temisâ€" kaming with her parents sixtyâ€"one vears ago at the age of six months. She is a daughter of the later Mr. and Mrs. Edward Piche, who settled in those early times on the east shore of Lake Temiskaming and who were aâ€" mong the very first white people in this North Country. For a long time now Mrs. Miron has been a respected resident of Haileybury and her presâ€" ence at the celebration, with her sister Mrs. A. Burwash, who had been in the North for fiftyâ€"nine years, formed a link with the past that touched the hearts of many old timers. ‘*‘Mr, MceLaren, who won the other prize, was born at Chicoutimi, Quebec, on April 8th, 1853.. His grandfather came from Sceotland and settled in the New World many years before that time. Mr. MeLaren recalls vividly his first trip into what we know as the North in September, 1873. _ He was in the employ of the Hudson‘s Bay Company and came up to the post at what we now know as the Old Fort on the Quebece side of Lake Temisâ€" kaming at the Narrows. In this trip from Chicoutimi the greater part of the journey was made by water, the dlistance between Montreal and Ottaâ€" wa being practically the only stretch on which there was a railway. _ By steamer, rowboats, stages and finally by canoes, the party eventually arrivâ€" ed at their journey‘s end. Mr. Meâ€" Laren came to the Old Fort the same year as the late C. C. Farr, and for many years thereafter he worked for the Hudson‘s Bay. Company, at one . oOd ..

He never became a factor or had full charge of a post, preferrng, as he expresses it, to remain independâ€" end and enjoy more liberty and greatâ€" er freedom. For many years he has had his home in Haileybury on Brownâ€" ing Street West and he surely enjoyâ€" ed the celebration on Friday and reâ€" velled in the memories of otker days. He has a clear recollection of the time of Confederation and the excited inâ€" terest which all took in the formation of the new Dominion. "It was particularly interesting to meet and talk with these pioneers of the early times on the occasion of the Diamond Juhilee and their presence officially at the grounds in response to an invitation by the chairman of the committee, Mr,. G. F. Summers, was he outcom eof a happy thought and lent and added solemnity to the commemoration ceremonies. "In addition to those who were awarded the prizes, Mrs. C. C. Farr had a place of honour at the ceremony as the widow of the founder of Hailâ€" eybury and there were several others who were amog the twon‘s earâ€" ly residents who joined in the celebraâ€" tion. WOLVES ARE HARD TO HIT EVEN WITH THREE SHOTS "©S. St. Louis won the prize for the largest family on the grounds. He was present with Mrs. St. Louis and ten children, and the whole family was not there either."" The Powassan News says :â€"â€" "Jack Hummel saw a big black bear in his clearing the other day. Now he‘s carrying a rifle in the hope of getting another glimpse of bruin.

Jim was satisfied his sheep would be safe that one night, anyâ€" way. KAPUSKASING YOUNG MAN "JUMPS INTO THE HOSPITAL‘‘ Pumping from the running board of one car into the path of another, and eventually landing in the hospital is the recent work of one young fellow from Kapuskasing. While in a state of intoxication, according to the police story, after the police had duly inâ€" vestigaied the matter, a young man named Cousineau, jumped from the running board of the car on which he was travelling, into the path of anâ€" other auto, with the result that he will spend the next few weeks in a hospiâ€" tal cot. Cousineau sustained a comâ€" pound fracture of the leg and a numâ€" ber of lacerations in the head. He was knocked fifteen feet by the car which struck him, and which was drivâ€" en by a resident of Valrita, near here, named Landswerk. _ The police reâ€" port indicates that Cougineau was proceeding from Kapuskasing to V alâ€" rita, riding on the running board of incsleg M a 'car,“ and when Landswerk approachâ€" ed, got off on to the road. _ He was taken to the hospital.

Production Likely to Increase Recently a party of prominent. shareholders of the company, includâ€" ing Mr. E. H. Walker, th6 president, visited the Paymaster mine and were much pleased with the general proâ€". gress being made. Both surface and. underground work was considered as satisfactory and there was general hopefulness and confidence expressed for the future. There was particular interest in the new equipment being added to the property. There have been eight carloads of machinery deâ€" livered at the property this week. Part of this machinery and equipment is understood to be from the Comâ€" stock mine in Nevada, one of the faâ€" mous gold properties of this continâ€" ent. This machinery is in the finest shape and has been tested and found good. _ The Paymaster in its past work has shown that it believes in getâ€" ting the very best, the whole equipâ€" ment being of the highest grade and chosen with clear understanding of the work to be done. The Paymaster, plant is recognized as a regular model for a new mine of its type. (Hood progress is being made in reâ€" zard to the mill extensions and other additions to the plant to be installed. Some excavation work has been done for the foundations and work is well ahead of schedule. It is expected to have the complete equipment ready and everything in shape so that a producâ€" tion on the basis of 1500 tons per day will be possible by the middle of next M a It is stated on official authority that ore drawn of late from the 200â€" ft. level has shown a distinct improveâ€" ment in grade over the general averâ€" age milled. to date. Considerable quantities of ore showing visible gold have passed through the mill recently and in general the grade for the curâ€" rent period promises to be somewhat higher than formerly.. Tonnage has also ‘been increased and production figures which are given in the Ontario Government bulletin as something over $26,000 for the first quarter of 1927, are likely to show an increase for the third quarter. Production at the present time is at the rate of aâ€" bout $10,000 monthly. Milling has recently been brought up to around 200 tons per day. ~ 1 % PW | Announcement is also made that the shaft porphyry body has been opened up by a haulage drift to the west and to date has shown better values than those of the ore taken from No. 1 ore body on the 300 ft. level. Good millâ€" ing ore was found in the shaft and in the station at 300 feet, all of which went through the mill. Drifting east is proceeding at a depth of 475 feet on the United Mineral Lands properâ€" ty and eross cuts south and north have been started. _ The south cross cuts are expected to intersect the continuation of Ankerite‘s No. 1 vein.

Under the sidewalk alongâ€" side the road leading by the O‘Brien Mine, one of the best travelled ways in the central part of Cobalt camp, leasers have found a threeâ€"inch high grade vein. This is on the ongmal Chambersâ€"Ferland property, scene of one of the earliest workings in the camp, the ground being a small piece wedged between Nipissing, O‘Brien and LaRose.. The leasers are a small local syndicate headed by John Shaw. They are now sinking on it, having proved a long enough length to indiâ€" cate something worth while. They took up the lease last fall but were able to do very little work. The find has just been made. The threeâ€"inch width is heavy in cobalt and silver. Typical pieces seen by The Miner should run one to four thousand ounces. About seventy bags of thus material are piled up. Examination of the old underground workings shows no work near this point.‘"‘ The Diamond Jubilee celebration at Kirkland Lake was especially well arried through and most creditable to all concerned. There was one ‘‘fly in the ointment,""‘ however, and that is that the Canadian Legion and others econcerned in putting on the day may also have to put up a deficit. All returns had to be seeured through the sale of tags, and the crowd of over 200 contributed only about $200.00, or at the rate of 10 cents each. If Kirkland Lake had a closedâ€" in grounds the admission fee would have been set at 50 cents at least, and $1.00 would not have been too much for the entertainment provided.
