To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins. Dear Sir:â€"Having read in The Adâ€" vance of Dec. 29th, Hon. Chas. Mceâ€" Crea‘s New Year Message, in which he states that few, if any of us oldâ€"time prospectors ever dreamed these parts would ever be such a hive of industry as they are, I wish to say that I was one who did not dream it but I felt pretty sure it would ‘be, when we unâ€" eovered that gold at the Dome when there were only ten men â€" around. Why, I at once said:â€"**‘By gosh! you‘ll see the T. N.0O. coming in, and such a lot of gold on the surface, and such a lot found one foot below the ground, and 75 yards east of the big showing would make anyone feel sure there was a mine there."‘ When Frank Loring saw it, he, too, said what I did, and told me the moon did not carry it there, nor did it fall in a storm, but it must have come from below.

Suffern corroborated his eviâ€" dence. ‘‘Routley put in a very ingenious defence. He stated that he had just purchased a new kind of dynamite for use in prospecting. As some one had told him it would not explode under water he was trying it out. He claimed that the forcee of the explosion was not sufficient to stun fish. He explained the net by saying that he was just going up a creek to catch some minnows with it for fishing. ‘‘The magistrate adjourned the ‘ase until the Game and Fisheries Act, setting forth the penalty, ecould be consulted.‘‘ CAUGHT MAKING BOOZE AND DYNAMITING FISH. ‘*There ‘being little doubt but what the manutacture of illicit liquor had been carried on for some time by this man, frequent complaints having been received by the officers, during the last three years, the magistrate regisâ€" tered a conviction. _ The stiff penalty of $500 and costs or six months in jail was handed out.
