Needless to say, a rare reâ€" ception was accorded to them. Next came a dancing duet, group dancing by adults, and then a tiny couple whose efforts were really excellent and much appreciated. The opening event, a male dance by 10 superb and accomplished exponents of the terpischorean art, was heartily applauded, and followed by a dance by juvenile couples, matched accordâ€" ing to size, and again one was jimpressâ€" ed with the almost Oriental splendour of the dresses. _ Great care and thought had very evidently been taken in the matter of training these deâ€" lightful youne dancers, whose meriâ€" torious performance was given a splendid reception by the pleased audience. Great credit is due to the skill and patience of the dance instructor, Mr. John Grekul, and in view of the fact that it is not much more than three months since general instruction in dancing _ commenced, the ‘ progress made as shown on Sunday night, is simply wonderful. _ The seenery forming the backâ€" ground to the dances was most approâ€" priate, as was also the music supplied for the dances.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The history of the discoveries in the Poreupine is outlined as follows in the ‘‘Notes‘‘:â€"‘‘Until the last two or three years the Poreupine area was difficult of access and little prospectâ€" ing was done in it. The information concerning it was practically all conâ€" tained in the reports published by the geologists who accompanied 0. L. S. Niven in his baseâ€"line work, and the township surveyors in the years 1896, 1898, 1903, 1904, and 1905. In 1896, Mr. G. M. Burwash accompanied Mr. Niven as geologist in the survey of the Nipissingâ€"Algoma _ boundary _ line, which, it may be added, now forms the boundary between Nipissing and Sudâ€" bury. The boundary was run northâ€" ward to mile 120, which is now situatâ€" ed at the southeast corner of the townâ€" mining wWwork has been perlormed.‘‘ Speaking of outcroppings, the ‘*Notes"‘ continue:â€"â€"‘*Much of the area mapped is driftâ€"erovered, and as the legend shows, the drift is unâ€" coloured. It entails more work to map an area such as this than one where the outcrops of rock are more continuous. It is not to be expected that all of the outerops have been loâ€" cated, since many of them are small in size and occur here and there over a low, more or less swampy and denseâ€" ly wooded surface. Moreover, the exâ€" treme western parts of the area, borâ€" dering on Night Hawk Lake and the Mattagami river respectively, have not yet been mapped in detail.‘‘ *‘*The geological work which is sumâ€" marized on this map,‘‘ says the ‘*Notes,""‘ ‘‘was done in parts of the months of May and June, 1910.. The map has been published as soon as the engravers could complete it. Doubtless errors have been made in the field work, but it was thought best to publish the geological map, imperfect thought it may be, at an early period in the camp‘s developâ€" ment, rather than to wait until it would be of less service. It is always much easier to map an area after the forest has been cleared off and much mining work has ‘been performed.‘‘ Bank of Commerce Bldg Pine St. N. Tim of ‘*‘Notes‘‘ by Dr. Willet G. Miller, printed beside the map proper. Some selections from these notes will be of interest, and may settle some of the arguments that arise on different points from time to time. DATA ON PORCGUPINE CAMP OEVENTEEN YFARS AGO Mr. Jos. Brisson, one of the oldâ€" time prospectors of the Poreupine, showed The Advance a Government map of the Poreupine area issued fifâ€" teen or sixteen years ago, and probâ€" ably the first official mining map of the distriét. The most interesting part of the map is the series Interesting Information on Old Govâ€" vernment Map of this Gold Area. A mandoiin orehestra, consisting of 17 young ladies from Winnipeg, will give a performance in the Ukrainian hall on ‘the 27th, and the Goldfields theatre on the 28th. The whole eveni®g was a wellâ€"meritâ€" ed tribute to the skill of Mr., John Grekul, as instructor, and to the orâ€" ganizers of the most enjoyable evenâ€" ing‘s entertainment. entire performers, aduits and juveâ€" niles, gave as a grand finale a dance and parade that was truly a masterpiece, there being over one hundred on the stage, and the beantiful effect of the massed colours of the danâ€" SE ow hus d a fhias cérs‘ costumes was something worth seeimng, and greatly â€"enchanced by the pyramid formation which was one of the principal features of this final dance.

Another note on the map reads as , | follows :â€"‘‘The first prospecting in |the area appears to have been done in [1906, when a shallow pit was sunk ‘, on a claim adjacent to what is now |known as the Timmins mine. _ (The |Hollinger was known those days as Athe ‘*‘Timmins mine.‘‘) The next work in the area was done by Mr. Hunter on the eastern shore of Porâ€" cupine lake. The vein uncovered here shows gold in hard specimens. In 1909 interest was revived in the district by the discoveries of Mr. J. 8. Wilson and others, ‘Mr. James Bartlett, one of the Bureau‘s geologists, made a brief examination of the discoveries in October and a report by him was The ‘‘Notes‘‘ also refer to the reâ€" port of Mr. Parks in 1898. Mr. Parks noted the occurrence of gold in traces in some of the quartz veins, and said : ‘""‘I regard the region south of the trail to Poreupine lake as giving proâ€" mise of reward to the prospector.‘‘ would be a promising one from the prospectors‘ point of view were it not for the presence of the drift. In the lower parts of the series (Keewatin) on the other hand, gold appears to be quite widely distributed, both in veins, which are of tolerably frequent occurrence, and in mineralized porâ€" tions of the rock itself. In two localiâ€" ties, between the 85th and 95th miles, the gold o@curs in mineralized bands of the country rock, which in both cases is more or Tess chloritic."‘‘ ship of Whitney, and the seastern boundary of the township of Shaw includes that part of the line between mile 114 and mile 120. Mr. Burâ€" wash‘s description points out that the district gives promise of a gold field. He says:â€"‘‘Near the 116th mile the line finally passes off the granite and intrudes upon gray. slate rocks. On the first half of the 116th mile (now on the eastern boundary of the townâ€" ship of Shaw) a small quart vein ocâ€" ecurs, which, on assay, was found to contain a trace of gold.
