A good idea don‘t care wihere it is born. It is as happy and useful coming from under a workman‘s hat as from under a crown. Most girls who haven‘t brains enough to cook a dinner have beauty enough to get one without cooking it. It used to be that a stocking was shockingâ€"now, how shocking it would be without the stocking! A despatch from Cobalt last week in The Cobalt Nugget says:â€"*"Thirty Indian families, some of them from the Temagami district and the others from the Quebec side of Lake Temiskaming, have gone to the foot of the l%g to; take part in the filming of records of Indian life for the American Museum, of Natural History. Fred Arnot, of the museum staff, is in charge of the work,| and after pictures have been "shot"} at this point, an an adjournment will | be made to Rabbit Lake, where a stay| of about three months is contemplated.{ The Indians from Temagmi, in number, went down the lake from Hailleybury, while the others took pas-a+ sage from Fabre. The object of the| filming is to depict Indian life for thm past 400 years and also the wild life of I the North. Some pictures already have been filmed, and there is one fiuel one of an eagle, it is stated, while 23| bears, with numerous deer, moose and other animals, even including skunks, are ready for use when the time Chief Yellow Robe, champion archer of New York state, is with the comâ€" pany." While making one of the tests for the Canadian Fire Underwriters‘ Asâ€" sociation tests at Cobalt recently the inspector for the Association was in â€" jured by a hydrant cap fiying off and hitting him. An ambulance was callâ€" ed and he was sent to the hospital. Last week a bill for $5.00 was tenderâ€" ed the town of Cobalt for the ambulâ€" ance service, but council instructed the clerk to forward the account to the Canadian Fire Underwriters‘ Associaâ€" tion as the responsible parties in such a case. Councillor Sullivan is quoted as saying that the tests conducted by the CF.U.A. are of little use and hs did not think the mayor of Cobalt was justified in giving permission for such tests. As the test was at the req. of the association it was felt that the ambulance charge should be borne by that body. "The town did not benefit,. so why should the town pay?" was the idea of the Cobalt town council. INDIANS PARTICIPATE IN FILM BEING MADE N NORTH Last week General V. Williams, comâ€" missioner of provincial police for Onâ€" tario announced that he is establishing a post at Gold Pines, in the district of Patricia, and is transferring Provincial Constable J. Pike, from Nakina to the new command. Mining jactivity and general development of the Gold Pines country, has in General Williams‘ opinâ€". ion, justified the establishment of the new post. Other posts, he intimated, might be located even farther north than Gold Pines before the year ends. DOCTOR‘s BILL ORDERED SENT TO THE UNDERWRITERS cial confirmation toâ€"day.

HAILEYBURY FAMILY‘S CLOSE CALL WHEN THEIR HOME BURNS In the more readily accessible areas and in areas where transportation faciâ€" lities are of the best, search for more mineral deposits is being prosecuted with feverish intensity. This . takes the form of surface prospecting and of underground testing by diamond drillâ€" ing, shaft sinking, and drifting. All this exploratory work has been given a powerful impetus by the discoveries centering on the northern part of the Manitobaâ€"Saskatchewan boundary, the Rouyn area of western Quebec, and the Sudbury, Patricia, and other areas of Ontario, and it is expected that by the close of the year a very important adâ€" dition will be made to the known and developed mineral reserves of the country. The most spectacular explorations are those that are headed into the more remote parts of the country east and west of Hudson Bay. When it was learned last winter that transportation to Flinâ€"flon was to be provided, that that large oreâ€"body was finally to he exploited, and that other large oreâ€" bodies in northern Manitoba had been discovered, the Department of Mines at Otawa was flooded with requests for information regarding that part of the country. Then interest broadened and the possibilities of more remote areas were considered. It was felt that the completion of the Hudson Bay railâ€" way to Churchill and the increase of boat transportation on the bay would render accessible a great stretch of country that had hitherto been regardâ€" ed as Canada‘s hinterland. Then came the desire to be on the ground early and secure the best. The result is that a great many prospecting parties have left for these northerly areas. The ex ploratory work is entrusted to hardy men .of experience and knowledge. Some prospectors have gone to Hudson Bay by way of Northern Ontario and Northern Manitoba, others have left by boat from points on the Atlantic coast. One company alone has sent by boat ten parties of two men each and the necessary supplies. These will be asâ€" sisted and directed by men sent in by aeroplane.

"Inspector Moore has been in since 1921, coming from South Porcuâ€" pine. Sergt. Gardiner, also from South Porcupine, was transferred to Cobalt in 1923. The district, which is officially No. 6, extends from Verner to Hearst." "‘The coming change will, it is said, involve the promotion of Inspector Moore to be Inspector of Law Enforceâ€" ment, the office previously held by Mr. W. S. Blackwell. Sergeant Frank Garâ€" diner, who was this year placed in charge of the detachment at Cochrane, will be made Inspector and will be in charge of District No. 6 here. Also it is understood that Inspector Moore‘s head quarters will be at Sudbury. "Inspector Moore, is at present on his holidays and could not be reached, but the report seems to be well founded and the change suggested is quite logical in view of all cirecumstances. "What is apparently a wellâ€"founded report, but which could not be confirmâ€" ed, owing to the absence of Inspector W. T. Moore, is current this week to the effect that the headquarters of the Provincial Police for this district will, in the near future, be transferred from Cobalt to Haileybury. It is claimed that this move has been contemplated for some time and will be made chiefly on account of the force being provided with offices in the court house here and the fact that the headquarters of the district and administrative offices are here.
