€ N mm (1 it HAD ANKLES JAMED WHEN TWO SLEIGHS COLLIDED The Haileyburian last week said : ‘Mr, iS. D. Briden is at his home this week suffering from two badly bruised and sprained ankles the result of an accident which oceurâ€" red on Monday night while he was engaged in his usual occupation in the woods near the Montreal River to the west of town. The acceident happened when he was riding on an empty logging sleigh, behind which several other sleighs were being towâ€" ed, when in going down a hill, the sleighs which were behind ran up on the one on which he was riding and jammed both his feet between the runners. Mr. Briden had walked up from Latchford, a distance of some eighteen miles, and had hailed the driver of a team for a ride into Grant‘s camp. He was pretty well tired out, or he might have been able to get out of the way of the sleighs when they came together. He spent the . night in the camp and was brought home early on Tuesday. At present he can‘t walk without the greatest difficulty, but there are no bones broken and it is ho $38 that the ankles, which are badly bruised and swollen, will be as good as ever in time. He is ‘beginning to wonder if he. will be able to eurl this winter, a #ame in which he takes a keen interâ€" RIGHT SORT OF PENALTY FOR FOOLISH MISCHIEF The other night a young man on one of the side streets had a brilliant idea. He decided to throw one of the boxes used to protect the hydrants out into the street. Just why anyone should be brainless enough to do a trick of this sort would puzzle the average man. Had the idiotic trick been unnoticed the hydrant might have frozen up, with certain cost to the town, and with the chance of more serious loss or danger in case of fire. The simpleâ€"minded young man, of course, did not contemplete anything like this. Indeed, when a constable, who happened along at the time and noted the silly trick of the young felâ€" low, took the thoughtless fellow in hand, the young man was _astounded w hen he was told what he had done. ‘‘Now,"‘ said the officer, ‘‘you just take that box and put it back where you found it, and never be such a fool again.‘‘ He made the young man earry that box to its placv and carefully arrange it again for its proâ€" tective dut\ If ever a young fellow looked toullsh this one did as he had to work to repair the damage he had tried to do, but no matter how foolish he may have looked, he could not have looked any more ioohqh than he actually was to do such a senseless and harmful trick. When young fellows who imagine thm are smart are so allâ€"fired qtupul it is difficult to know what to do to them to make them safe to be allowed to live at large.

Dear Sir:â€"In the last issue of your popular paper there are two interâ€" esting and outstanding items of news that are both a wellâ€"deserved tribute to the intelligence of the people of the Poreupine Camp. â€" The first is that of the election by acclamation of the Tisdale Reeve and Councillors for 1928, of which little need be saidâ€" the ‘clectlon speaking for itselfâ€"exâ€" cept to note the publicâ€"spirited action of Messrs J. E. Boyle and R. 8. Skelly who in order to save the expense of an election to the community, and for no other reason, withdrew their nomâ€" ination ; and a feeling of regret that no mentlon was made of the very good work of the clerk of the Township of Tisdale. Mr. F. C. Evans is indeed worthy of public recognition from those whom he so well and faithfully serves. And, by heck, the same reâ€" mark applies to Timmins and its Clerk with more than equal force, GONFIDENGF SHOWN BV HIGH PRIGE FOR BOXDS The second and more important item of news contained in your valuable paper is that of the favourable placâ€" ing of Town Debentures for the amount of $224,000.00. In this item of news there is contained many valuâ€" able pointers for the people of the Poreupineâ€"chiefly that it denotes confidence among the big financial corporations of "Canada concerning the continuous growth and prosperity of the Poreupine, but also that it reâ€" fleects every confidence in the people of this district to select men of standâ€" ing and understanding to a@dminister the affairs of this mumapahtv now and in the future. Comment Made by Reader on Two Items in Issue of The Advance Last Week. I do not claim to be a financial exâ€" pert, but I know enough to state that it is a general rule, and a rule without exception, that the investment corâ€" porations and companies investigate before investing, and the result of the best placing of debentures in the history of Timmins is a direct tribute to the Town Courceil as at present constituted, and as a financial pointer to the permanency of the Poreupine, which only a confirmed pessimist would ignore, must be very gratifying to the thousands of your readers who, like yourself, are firm and consistent belivers in thhe Town and the North Land.

Nickel a Close Second. ‘‘"Surface Has Not Yet Been THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO While some other daily newspapers are pandering to the sensation lovers, and so are in most unhappy condition on those ordinary days when morons do not happen to be busy killing their wives or somebody else‘s wives, and when the wash is not as dirty as it is on some smoky days, the Toronto (Globe is consistently busy at more serious matters that have a vital bearâ€" ing on the progress of the province and the Dominion. . For some time past The (Globe has been giving parâ€" ticular attention to the North Land and the mining industry. In an ediâ€" torial last week, The Globe touched upon Ontario‘s mineral wealth. The GHlobe said :â€" "It is, however, over a period of years that the true perspective can be had of the mineral development of the Province. As new mines are opened up and the long and expensive process necessary for getting ore to the market proceeds, the value of production mounts. The peak of gold output so far has been in 1925, when it reached $30,206,432 in value. This was $6,000,000 more than the estiâ€" mated value for this year, which reâ€" flects the cleanâ€"up by Hollinger of low grade ore. â€" But in 1921 Ontario‘s gold output was valued at only $14,â€" 692,357. In 1922 it was $20,579,369. In 1923 it was slightly less, and the following year it climbed to $25,669,â€" 303. In 1925 Canada stood next to the Transvaal and the United States in gold production, and nearly 90 per cent of the product came from this (Province. The Dominion accounted for 11 per cent. of the world‘s output. In 1913 less than 4 per cent. was from Canada, and of this slightly more than 4 per cent. was Ontario production. This change has necessarily focussed world attention on Ontario‘s possibiâ€" lities in the yellow metal. At present Canada is the hope of the monetary gold standard. In the fifteen years ending 1925 world production of gold declined 12 per cent. In the United States it went back 45 per cent.; in Mexico, 15 per cent.; in Oceania, 75 per cent.; in California, 33 per cent.; in Rhodesia, 15 per cent.; in West Australia, 66 per cént.; in India, 20 per cent. _ The Transvaal showed a gain of 8 per cenh. in the same period. Canada gained 112 per cent. Ontario gained 556 per cent, and the surface has not vet been seratched."" ‘‘Ontario‘s great mineral area conâ€" tinues to justify the optimistic proâ€" mise of increasing production. Hon. Charles MeCrea, Minister of Mines, estimates that the output for this year, based on nine months‘ records, will exceed that of 1926 by $6,000,000. The chief gain is in gold, with an inâ€" creased value of $850,000. Nickel is a close second. Silver, owing to deâ€" cline in price, shows a falling off in production value. There are declines also in production values of platinum metals and lead, but a gain appears in both metallic copper and exported matte. The potentialities of Ontarmio‘s mineral areas are unknown, but they have produced, so far, to a value of approximately _ $1,500,0600,000 _ and thorough scientific development may be said to have only commenced. More than half of the output has been metallic. In this classification silver has led in value, with nickel second and gold third. Oneâ€"third of the proâ€" duction has been in structural materâ€" ials. It seems to be apparent, howâ€" ever, that untold wealth remains in a wide variety of earth‘s products, and that it will be revealed in inâ€" creasing volume for many yvears."‘ formed to take over its four Patterâ€" son copper claims in the Boston Creek area. The new company is capitalizâ€" ed at $3,000,000, par value $1. Of this, Barryâ€"Hollinger will hold 1,â€" 500,000 as a consideration for the property.

McCREA‘S ONLY SON GALLED BY DEATH The late Dent MeCrea was a young man of unusual promise and talent, and was very popular with all who knew him. He graduated at the age of 19 years from Loyola College, Monâ€" treal, with the degree of B.A., and in the fall of 1926 entered Toronto Uniâ€" versity to prepare himself for the legal profession, in which his father has set so high a standard both for brilliance and integrity. Dent Mceâ€" Dent McCrea Passes Away After Proâ€" longed Illness. Was a Popular and Gifted Young Man Aften an illness extending over several months, James Dent MceCrea, only s8# of Hon. Chas. MeCrea, Minâ€" ister of Mines for Ontario, and Mrs. McCrea, passed away at his home in Toronto on Friday, Dec. 2nd, 1927, in his 21st vear. Crea gave every promise of upholding the MeCrea traditions.. As a student at the separate school and at Loyola College and also at the University of Toronto, Dent MeCrea took high place with his fellow students and with the instructors alike, his gifts winning the regard of the teachers and his attractive personality and lhuis cheerâ€" ful manly character bringing the affection of the young people with whom he associated. In March last while exercising in the University eymnasium the young man strained his heart, and after a short time lus condition ~became grave. _ Despite every care and attention his death could not be warded off, and on Friâ€" day last the heavy blow of his death came to his family and friends. In addition to the bereaved parents, three sisters, Helen, Mary and Hope survive. To these the deep sympathy of all will go out in their sad loss. The funeral took place on Monday from the family residence in Toronto, 93 Roxborough avenue east, to Mount Hope cemetery, Toronto. here. The Barrie Advance last week made ‘the following reference to the parts of Mr. Kelso‘s address referâ€" ring to Timmins and the Shelter here. *He instanced the case of Timmins, which had grown from a wilderness to a modern city of 15,000 people in fifteen years, and which had just opened a $15,000 Children‘s Shelter. At a bazaar the women of Timmins had raised $6,000 for the purpose of furnishing the Shelter and everyâ€" thing that went into it was brand new. TIMMINS SHELTER HELD UP AS A MODEL FOR OTHERS In an address to the Children‘s Aid Society at Barrie last week Mr. J. J. Kelso, superintendent of Children‘s Aid Societies for Ontario, who officiâ€" ally opened the District ot Cochrane Shelter at Timmins some weeks ago, made special reference to the Shelter here. The Barrie Advance last week made ‘the following reference to the parts of Mr. Kelso‘s address referâ€" Mr. Kelso used the Timmins incident to make his point‘ that nothing was too good for the soâ€"ealled dependent and ne(rle('ted children. If possible he w ould drop these latter words, alâ€" so the word ‘‘ Shelter.‘‘ These childâ€" ren, he said, should not only have the best homes in the community, but should also be the best dressed. They should be the envy, rather than the object of seorn, of other children. He admonished his audience to leave their old wornâ€"out furniture at home. The same applied to the women with their wornâ€"out millinery and clothing, The man who used to rock the boat is now trying to see how close to the heads of crowds on the beaches he can drive an airplane.â€"Portland Oregonâ€" ian. he s(ud somewhat humorously.

Her sister wore a pleasâ€" ing dress of cerise crepe de chine, trimmed with gold lace. Mr. Reg. Skewes supported the groom. After the ceremony a pleasant dinâ€" ner was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. L.
