There were no witnesses to the tragedy and | only by reconstructing the scene could , the police and coroner, who investigatâ€" ed, form any conclusions as to how it occurred. Henderson had lived in the !cabin for some time and was engaged in trapping and doing assessment work at various properties. He was well known in the district. The scene of the tragedy is about two miles from the Wigwain mine and is near the Gowâ€" ganda road. The fiames of the cabin were seen from the mine and Provinâ€" cial Constable Dickson of Gowganda, and Coroner Dr. G. Crann investigated and decided that that no inquest was necessary. Only parts of the unforâ€" tunate man‘s body could be found and it was concluded that he had attempted to start his fire with gasoline. His reâ€" mains were lying near the doorway and the stove in the cabin was blown to. pieces The fire was seen just at dusk and it was thought that Henderson had. just returned from his day‘s work and. was about to prepare his supper . His: tracks could be plainly seen in the, snow where he hbhad returned to the. house. The cireumstances of the fatalâ€" ity were reported to the Provincial Poâ€", lice headquarters at Cobalt at the end of the week." | Last week The Advance made brief reference to the sad death of Charles Henderson, a trapper living near Elk Lake.

He ‘indicates that the programme to be followed will include shaft sinking on the veins exposed during the work last year, especially the high grade disâ€" _covery, and the installation of a small ~plant for that purpose. Plant would include twoâ€"stamp Tremaine mill. "We hold the opinion," he adds, "that by treating the high grade we will be able to meet a large proportion of our operating expenses.

Six sheets was consumed in anâ€" nouncing its policy, spreading the news of the day and portraying its tiny, unâ€" attractive _ advertisements. It was printed on the,. Wharfedale. Perhaps it should be said "by the Wharfedale," for any press with such a splendid name must have had a personal hand in the business. "The Wharfedale, in fact, was such a magnificent creation that it could not be contained in the building at the southeast corner of the present site of The Mail and Empire building. It had to be housed in a special strucâ€" ture in the garden. In those days, gardens existed at King and Bay street. The latest news was carried then as now. The announcement of the closing of the Ballymate post office because the salary of $10 a year as postmaster did not attract potential incumbents received front page proâ€" minence. Guelph complained of a chicken thief. Cannington had a "good brass band which gave a good last week." Brantford must have been enjoying prosperity, because residents were faced with a serious hcusing shortage. "Some malicious person had painted huge crosses on the doors of the Wesâ€" leyan â€" Methodist and Presbyterian churches, it was detailed.

"The motto of the first Mail, streamâ€" ing across the front page, declared "Not local purposes, not local prejudâ€" ices ought to gude, but the general good." The manifesto under the name of Thomas C. Patterson, the first manâ€" ager, upheld this motto, declaring that The Mail would "do justice to new ideas and the irresistible force of proâ€" "Fiftyâ€"seven years ago toâ€"day The Mail and Empire was born in Confedâ€" eration. It was not The Mail and Emâ€" pire then; it was only the Mail. On Feb. 6, 1895, through the acquisition of The Empire it assumed its present name. Onâ€"Feb. 16, 1869, Sir John A. Macdonald in a letter to Senator, aftâ€" terwards Sir David Macpherson said: "I have long thought that a good paper of Liberalâ€"Conservative cast was greatâ€" ly required in Toronto." The thought fathered The Mail. Not at once, for it was difficuit to organize an enterâ€" prise requiring technical skill and large capital. It was not until March 30, 1872, that the first copy of The Mail appeared. emphasized by the newspaper itself last week, though the fact is that the one reference made to the event by the Mail and Empire would tempt readers to wish that the paper had exâ€" tended on the article or given others along the same line.

At any rate that is a comforting thought for the Smiths. ("Peter Simple" in Morning Post) I am interested in the query put forth by Mr. John Smith, who wants to know why "Smith" is the commonest name in England. Of course we all know that it is the commonest in the pages of the London directory, and the teleâ€" phone book asserts the fact beyond disâ€" pute. But why? In former days there were many blacksmiths no doubt, not to speak of whitesmiths, but they surely did not at any time easily outnumber every other single trade. Why should the Smiths have increased to such an extent? _ Perhaps it is a case of the survival of the fittest.
