Kamiskotia Mines Limited has been formed and a large cash payment made on the claims. The company is making preparations to do a large amount of development work in the spring. @OURAGE AND KINDNESS SHOWN DURING DISASTER, The Sudbury Star last week /says: ©Disasters in the north country, of which there fortunately have/ been few, have served to exemplify in a stirring manner the courage and symâ€" pathy of the people of the north unâ€" der the most distressing cirecum. stances. The Hollinger tragedy is another outstanding example of men‘s bravery and women‘s fortitude. _ At great danger to their own safety, emâ€" ployees of the mine worked and strived faithfully and dauntlessly in a keroic effort to save those trapped and helpless amid the smoke and gas in the labyrinth of drifts underground. The days of chivalry are never over, There are heroes in peace as well as in war. Men at the Hollinger gave the best they hadâ€"a few of them their own livesâ€"in order that their eompanions might live. _ That their efforts were to a large extent successâ€" ful may be said to alleviate slightly at least the distress wrought by the heavy loss of life. Conditions miliâ€" tated against achieving a complete success and in the grim struggle with death these heroes no doubt wished it might be otherwise. They have the satisfaction of knowing however, that their deeds will go down in the hisâ€" tory of the north as meriting the highest praise.‘"‘ RESERVE JUDGMENT TILL FACTS ARE KNOWN In an editorial reference to the reâ€" eent disaster at the Hollinger Mine. The Sudbury Star makes some comâ€" ments that are worthy consideration, in view of the fact that The Star has had more than the usual knowledge of mining matters and has been celose to the seene of more than one mining traâ€" sedy, and so is in a position to speak with particular experience of the hasty decisions and the unfounded reports that too frequently occur in such cases. The Sudbury Star says: "©The extent of the Hollinger holoâ€" caust had not fully been appreciated ibefore there were many openly placâ€" ing the responsibility for the regretâ€" able loss of life. And of course, in such a lamentable tragedy, there are divers theories advanced as to the eause and the partiese to blame., Knowledge of the peculiar cireumâ€" stances, or of the practice of mining had little to do with the case in some instances; the culpability was placed on someone‘s head regardless. _ The public knows full well that in catasâ€" trophes of this nature a farâ€"reaching efficial inquiry is prosecuted. It will be so in this case. In the meantime, the bereaved community of Tiunmins will desire to pay its last respects to those who were the unfortunate vicâ€" tims. Then the Government will unâ€" tertake, through a properly constitutâ€" ed commision, to ascertain and fix the responsibility. Until this is done and the details leading up to the disaster are made known and analyzed, perâ€" haps it would be better to reserve judgment."‘ Winnipeg Mirror:â€"W h too proud to beg and to steal, it is about time for to work.

The present service seems to be generally satisfactory. This view is endorsed by the following letter sent to The Globe itself last week :â€"â€" Recently The Toronto Globe ha been conducting a campaign for : late night train from Toronto to the North. The Globe suggests one leay.. ing the city about mldmoht or after, so that people from the \Tmth would not need to remain in the city all night in case they attended a hoekev match or any other evening entertainâ€" ment. â€"A train at or atter midnight would also be exeellent for the first To the Editor of The Gobe: â€" There is one thing that some of your corâ€" respondents seem to overlook when discussing this, and that is the fact that railway timeâ€"tables are planned on the ""*greatest good for the greatâ€" est number‘‘ idea.

This rescue car was Mine Rescue Car No. 3 of the United States Department of Commerce. David Harrington, engineer of the car, and an expert in the uses of its equipment, tocether with the members of its THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO together with the members Ol 118 crew, did wonderful work here. The car and its erew of experts reached Toronto on Thursday morn. ing on the return trip, and according to despatches from Toronto the car was placed on a siding in the east end of the Union station yards there, while the crew were given honours well won for their helpful and generâ€" ous services here. _ Mr. Harrington and his crew met a number of mining men in Toronto, and later were reâ€" ceived by Premier Ferguson and his Cabinet. They were guests at A luncheon in the National Club at Toâ€" ronto and there were duly honoured for their good work. In the afternoon on Thursday, Mr. Harrington and his crew demonstratâ€" ed mine resecue work equipment and Mr. Harrington gave a short talk to students o0f the University of Toronto. The despatches from Toronto and the comments in the Toronto newspapers indicate the seope of this brief adâ€" dress. ©The fire in the Hollinger Mine is of a typewhich might be expected at almost any time, in either coal or metal mines, where open lights and electricity are in use, and this inâ€" cludes much more than half of the coal mines and 90 per cent. of metal mines,‘‘ â€" said _ Mr. â€" Harrington. ‘‘Metal mining people are generally decidedly hazy as to fires, their pre. vyention, and as to the manner in which they should be fought."‘ Mr. Harrington expressed the opinâ€" ion that even if there had been upâ€" toâ€"date mining reseue apparatus at the Hollinger Mine when fire broke out, there would have been little or no chance of saving lives on account of existing conditions. ‘Mr. Harrington noted that Butte, Montana, was the bestâ€"equipped mining centre on the continent, yet there had. been disasâ€" trous fires in the camp within the past ten years accompanied by heavy loss of life. ‘Hollinger is conducted with far more regard for the safety of men than many of the mines that I have seen,"‘* he said. EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY FROM ROUYN NEWSPAPER.

PORGUPINE PIONEERG ALSO WENT AFTER PLAGER Mesfirs"'Alex Gillies and Ben Hollinger }Prospected in the Vermillion Field in 1909. i Qeference to the prospecting done by Messrs Alex Gillies and Ben Holâ€" linger in the Vermillion field is made last week by The Sudbury Star as follows :â€" "Action of the Ontario Govern= ment in withdrawing from staking parts of certain townships in the Verâ€" million River area recalls the fact that for at least 30 years there have been more or less spasmodic attempts to discover commercial deposits of alâ€" luvial gold in this section. _ So far back have some of these attempts been dated that even the oldest inâ€" habitants of the district have com. pletely forgotten their details, Acâ€" cording to one story a dredging operâ€" ation was started on one occasion, the returns from which indicated values of about 4 cents in gold per ton of material raised. the early Fall of 1909, one of the prospectors‘ rushes was evidentâ€" ly in progress, for among those who invaded the field were Benny Holâ€" linger and Alex Gillies, later famous as the stakers of the Hollinger mine. According to Gillies‘ own story, they succeeded in finding some values. It was their hope of finding the mother lode, or the source of these values, that led to their investigation of the Porcupine field, which had just then been discovered, and indirectly led to their discovery of Ontamio‘s grpatest gold mine. a In more recent years several other attempts have ‘been made to explore the area. Enterprising prospectors from Sudbury have invaded the field, and have been quietly carrying on operations on a small seale at various places in the Vermillion River. While no fortunes have been made as yet, it is reported that for the past two summers a pair of prospectors have been making respectable wages on a location south of Capreol, with no more equipment than a tent, blanâ€" ket and supplies, a common frying pan and shovel."
