Perhaps it portended a new source of recruits for New York‘s police force. But enough of guessingâ€"we had to find out. Why are healines? Are they intendâ€" ed to sell papers, or to give the hasty reader the day‘s news in an eyeâ€"full, or to give the appreciative reader an intellectual jab in the ribs, or just to fill white newspaper space? We have seen headlines that might fit one or more of these reasons, and we have seen headlines that seemed to fit none of them.

The result, while in line with the good work of the Timâ€" mins Juniors all season, roused very special interest, and so a review of the game will not be out of place. As will be noted by the box score and summary below, Timmins Juniors made five runs in the first six innings and held the North Bay boys scoreless until the seventh. Godin pitched wonderful ball, while he received fine support, there being only two errors chalked up against the team.

Before the 'supercilious civjl servant at Ottawa pronounced that mouthful, "A prospecâ€" tor‘s first duty is to find himself," prosâ€" spectors had found it necessary without talking about the matter to adopt some such attitude tor trheir own safetly and protection. Despite such an attitude, however, accidents will happen and unâ€" foreseen circumstances arise, and even the best of prospectors are liable to get lost in new country. In recent weeks. The Advance has had occasion to reter to instances of unusually skilled and experienced prospectors who have had the illâ€"luck to lose their bearings. Some soâ€"called prospectors may boast that they were never lost, but likely that is because they did not go far enough away from the favourite Chinese restaurant or because they took the precaution of taking along an Indian guide, or something like that. If the prospector‘s first duty is to find himself, another very material purpose is to find new discoveries of ininerals. In the search for one, the otner may momentarily be forgotteh\ The prosâ€" pector who heeds the avyice of the Otâ€" tawa civil (or as the case may pe) serâ€" vant to the exclusion of all else, is not likely to find many minerai strikes in new country. The prosperctor who beâ€" comes possessed of the hurning desire to make a find of mineral, is very likeâ€" ly to find that for a tims at least he has lost himself. The reason there have been more prospectors lost this year than ordinarily is because there are more prospectors on the trail than for years past. In tlhiis connection also it is well to count all the lost prospectors of this season. Naming them over it seems like a lot, but couut them and the number will be found (as Hon. Mr. Finlayson might say) to be negligible in comparison to the hundreds of prosâ€" pectors on the trail this year. If only one prospector is lost, it is too much! The prospector toâ€"day is probâ€" ably the most valuable citizen of the country. He is prepariny the way for the wealth and progress of this new country.

He is also courageâ€" | ous and not easily discouraged. If an | accurate record were compiied of the[ history of prospecting in Northeru Onâ€"| tario, it would probably reveal a reâ€", markably small loss of life due to men | losing their way in the bush. And durâ€" ing the last two decades there has been a vast army of picneers scourinzg the forest wilderness. ‘"There have been cases of prospecâ€" tors, even experienced men such as Andy Taylor, losing their bearings and suffering hardships before being reseuâ€" ed or finding their way to eivilization. Ordinarily, men take great precautions to ensure their own safety, and it is doubtful if the proposal of a Toronto broker, who himself at one time was lost in the bush, will be generally adopted. He proposes that prospectors be obliged to carry with them ilarge white cotton flags in the shape of a large L which could be displayed in case they lose their way. Ssuch a signal could easily be detected by an airplane, and in this way naturally would be of great advantage. But, knowing the characteristics and the mentality of the general run of prosâ€" pectors, it is altogether probable that most men would scorn the assistance offered, having full confidence in their own ability to take care of themselves. "As the prospector is continually pushing farther and farther into the wilds, however, some such scheme as proposed by the Toronto broker might well be devised to minimize the rish that these hardy pioneers run." values the prospector so highly that all Government employees have what may be called standing orders to assist in any and every way in the work of searching for any prospects that may be lost in new country. A Toronto broker recently made the suggestion that all prospectors ne reâ€" quired to carry large white fdags in the shape of a large L. These flags could be displayed in case the prospector should lose his bearings. These flags would visible to any airplans searchâ€" ing for lost men, and the broker thinks the plan would greatly facilitate the finding of lost prospectors. ‘It is not likely that the idea will make particuâ€" lar appeal to the average prospector, who may be inclined to consider such a scheme as a confession of doubt or weakness. The plan, however, is worth a thought or two.
