This is a country of large distances and Cobalt is far away for a centre. Cochrane is centrally located and convenient for the work along the Transcontinental and in the immediate district around the town. Under the supervision of Inspector Mooreâ€" and with Sergeant Gardiner stationed at Cochrane the work of Provincial Police in the norâ€" thern part of this inspectorate should be improved in efficiency. Serct. Gardiner has been second in charge at the Cobalt office tor ihe past five years, Previous to that he was stationed at South Poreupine, as well as having experience on the Provâ€" incial Police force in other centres.

For the past year or two there has been an agitation to have ¢two inspecâ€" tors in this part of the North, one with headquarters at â€" Timmins or Cochrane and the other at Cobalt or Haileybury. The plan for making two inspectors has been thought by some to be unnecessary, while at the same time at has been generally recogmzed that more and more attention is needâ€" ed in the northern section as the country develops. _ With SNergeant Gardiner stationed at Cochrane, which is the logical place for the main office for the northern section, there should be ‘better direction and more â€" rapid service in case Of need.

It would avorid much confusion if this and other countries adopted a like plan and had Easter settled to fall at the same a time each year. On his present trip to the Herschel Island, Major Burwash will investiâ€" gate and report especially on the geoâ€" logy and the chances especially for oil. He knows the eountry possibly as well as any man alive and has a working knowledge of the Eskimo language as well as the Indian dialects in the district. The Government reâ€" ports by Major Burwash for a great many years have been recognized as most informative and authoritative. Major Burwash ‘has spent about eighteen years in the Baffn‘s Land area, visiting there for the Dominion Government at â€" different _ times. Among his finds was a deposit of gaâ€" lena running 50 per cent, and also showing silver and lead. He traced the ore body for about 12 miles. During his visit to Timmins Magjor Burwash spent some time at the Jonesâ€"Porter Mine in Deloro townâ€" ship. _ Major Burwash visited the mine last spring. Inspecting the proâ€" perty on this visit he was greatly pleased with the progress made. He said he saw a wonderful improvement. There is large ore body in the shaft and drifts and the property seems to (be developing into a mine of imporâ€" tance. Major Burwash and John Jones, the prospector and promoter of the Jonesâ€"Porter property, first met some 800 miles from a railway, in that new country west of the Belcher Islands. _ Major Burwash was with Rev. Mr. Walton at the time they met the Jones party, that being some twelve years ago. ‘ On his return last year from Bafâ€" fin‘s Land Major Burwash was accomâ€" panied by Capt. Munns, of Haileyâ€" bury, who left this part of the North some twelve years ago. Capt. Munns was generally believed to have lost his life in the North, but instead had been hale and hearty, though a thouâ€" sand miles from railways and far from communication with the outside world, exceept on rare occasions. He had ‘been running a trading post in the far north. Last year Major Burwash returned from Baffin‘s Land where he made explorations for the Dominion Govâ€" ernment. â€" He also reported on the plan proposed of sending reindeer to the far north for the benefit of the Indians and the Eskimos. Under all the cirecumstances he did not conâ€" sider the plan practical. HK report referred to the plenty of S(’M and other wild life in the far north. * On his return last year from Bafâ€" fin‘s Land Major Burwash was accomâ€" panied by Capt. Munns, of Haileyâ€" a complete general and geological reâ€" port for the Dominion Government in regard to the Herschel Islands. He expects to ‘be away for about a year and a half. Among the visitors to Timmins las! weekâ€"end was Major Burwash of the Dominion Geological staff at Ottawa. Major Burwash left here on Sunday on the way to Edmonton where he wil leave the railway line to travel a thousand miles to the far north. At Edmonton he has 16 tons of supplies to take in, including instruments for testing, assaying, ete. His objective is the preparation of a complete reâ€" port on the geology and mineral proâ€" babilities of the Herschel Islands. From Edmonton, Major Burwash will go up the Mackenzie rFiver by boat. He has a number of Eskimos with him. Major Burwash plans to make Major Burwash Here on Way to Herschel Islands in the Far North. Will be Away Two Years.

The Government scale of salaries is not sufficient to hold men when corporations decide that they need theiiNservices. The latest to break away from the Ontario service is T. L. (Hedhill, for the past three or four years on the staff as assistant geologist. In disâ€" cussing the matter, a Toronton courâ€" respondent says that T. L.

Another matter that players should keep in mind is the fact that each team must see that bases are brought in after every game. At present the bases are brought out to the field for them at each game,.and they are cexâ€" pected to see that the bases are proâ€" perly put away when the match is over, If they fail to do so, they will have to fetch their own bases to the field for the succeeding game. _ _ The first half of the softball schedâ€" ule ‘has certainly been a big suceess and the second half should be even more interesting. ‘Softball has taken on remarkably well here this season and it promises to be tbhe big sport in town.
