Now |that we have obtained it, we want to prove to our worthy Southern Ontario foes that when it comes to hockey, baseball, or softball, we can compete with them on an even footing. Thereâ€" fore, we are appealing to the editors of the North Country and particularly to their worthy sports editors to back us ,in our attempt to place ladies‘ softball on a firm foundation. We want your 'help, men, and, appreciating that all newspapers of the North will do all that lies within their power to further the North Country‘s interests, we know that we will get it and we thank you | Mrs. Larden suggests the following groups for the Northern Ontario Ladies‘ Softball, but is anxious to receive any suggestions in this or any other matter in regard to ladies‘ softball:â€" "As you are undoubtedly aware, Mrs. W.

Carson of Timmins, district superinâ€" tendent of the Children‘s Aid Society, has been in town for a few days this week interesting our leading citizens in‘ the work of his society, and hoping to have a local branch formed. This will probably take shape ere long. We understand Mr. G. A. Macdonald of Timmins, president of the district soâ€" ciety, is to be in Kapuskasing at an early date to give impetus to the local drive for members. TO ORGANIZE KAPUSKASING BRANCH CHILDREN‘S AID Arriving at Halifax recently, aboard the Anchorâ€"Donaldson liner Athenia from Great Britain, bound for Ottawa and Washington, Moses B. Cotsworth, of Vancouver, calendar expert for the League of Nations, deâ€" clared that in a year or so Canada and the whole civilized world will adopt the new simplified calendar of 13 months to each year, and 28 days to every month. The old calendar misrepresents business production because some months have more Tuesdays or an additional Sunday, he said. Forty years of study on this pet subject of his have convinced him that our schoolâ€"day rhyme might as well be laid aside now. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, APRIL 25th, 1929 "Thirty Days Hath September" a reliable mining service in addition to our brokerage service Through our engineers, and staffs in all important mining centersâ€"â€"we render | _ Hosts of friends throughout the North Land will learn with very deep regret of the sudden death last week of Mr. Vivian R. Oliver, for some time a memâ€" ber of The Northern Miner staff at Coâ€" balt, and who moved to Toronto last week when the headquarters of the mining paper was transferred to the @ueen City, In the town of Cobalt the late Mr. Oliver was well known and popular and he also had many friends throughout the North. In referring to the sudden death of Mr. Oliver, The ‘ Toronto Star on Saturday last said:â€" ,’ "Suddenly stricken with heart trouble: Vivien R. Oliver, member of the staff; of the Northern Miner, dropped dead . toâ€"day on Baldwin St. The late Mr. Oliver came to Toronto on Thursday | last, leaving his wife and two children,’ in Cobalt. It was his intention to move; to Toronto with them as soon as conâ€" | venient. Possessing a distinguished | war record, the late Mr. Oliver was widely known in mining circles | throughout the North. Before the railâ€" road had been built through, he went! north, establishing the first paper to be | printed in Haileybury. He was 44 years of age, and besides the two childâ€" ren at home, has a daughter in trainâ€" ing for a nurse in Montreal, and a son‘ residing in Bowmanville."

"Little time is to be lost this season by the Atlas Mining Company of Otâ€" tawa in the development of its extenâ€" sive leadâ€"zinc holding on the south shore of Great Slave Lake. Already the company has dispatched a party of ten miners from Toronto, outfitted by Gordon Cameron Company, mining contractors. The party will travel by train as far as McMurray, end of steel of the Alberta and Great Waterways Railway. At this point personnel and equipment will be speeded by aeroplane to the scene of the summer‘s operaâ€" tions some three hundred miles farther north.

Wallingford who wrote the interesting message whiie travelling by »«airship to Great Slave Lake for the Atlas Exploration Co., the following paragraph from the last issue of The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasing, should be of interest:â€" ACTIVITY IN GREAT SLAVE LAKE DISTRICT RESUMED Another pleasant evening under the auspices of the Rebekah Lodge is schedâ€" uled for Thursday evening of next week, May 2nd, commencing at 8.30. It will be a whist drive and bridge and is sure to be an enjoyable evening, following the usudl rule of all Rebekah affairs. LI N J Softball fans should particularly reâ€" member the meeting called for toâ€"morâ€" row (Friday) night in the town hall at eight o‘clock to organize for the softâ€" ballâ€" season. A fully representative meeting is very especially desired. ‘"Costello has mined for 26 years and has worked on such mines as the Nipissing, the Hollinger and the Teckâ€" Hughes. He spent nine years in prosâ€" pecting." ‘"To The Canadian Press Costello said the discovery was made in a large quartz vein in porphyry intruding greenstone. The granites were some distance off. The vein was stripped and trenched the length of 200 feet, its width varying from eight to 40 feet. The year‘s assessment work was done which included a 20â€"foot pit from the surface down, he said, the blackâ€"blue quartz revealed gold such as is seldom found even in the famous Bobjo and the old Croesus Mine in Munro Townâ€" ship. It is Costello‘s intention to reâ€" turn on the first ‘plane north and continue the 20â€"foot pit to a depth of 60 feet. | "But today Costello showed no hesiâ€" tation in telling everyone he has "a world beater." The prospector arrived too late to catch the last trip of the Western Canada Airways ‘plane until the end of the winter breakup. "Costello arrived here a few days ago with six men from Montreal, on their way to develop further a properâ€" ty on which he states a 20â€"foot pit has already been sunk. The ground of the Costello claims was recorded at Gold Pines and much secrecy was observed. ‘"‘Motherlode is Costello‘s boast, and the picture he paints of his discovery has left miners along the outposts of civilization gasping with incredulity. But there are those who have heard the tales of Indians trekking in from the subâ€"Arcticâ€"stories that tell of glistening nuggets lying on the surface of the earth where white men have never set foot, and these miners, shakâ€" ing their heads in doubt over Costelâ€" lo‘s tale, nevertheless, ponder the quesâ€" tion whether the north is not rich enough to surprise the wisest. ‘"Displaying exceptional specimens of gold in quartz and characterizing his find as "the biggest thing in the north" George Costello, veteran miner and prospector, is in Sioux Lookout awaitâ€" ing airplane transportation to "a cerâ€" tain lake‘" midway between Red Lake and Favourable Lake, where over a year ago he and John Boviteski staked 15 claims. Here is the despatch, dateâ€"lined from Sault Ste. Marie:â€" Lookout will be read with very general interest by all in Timmins and disâ€" trict, as George Costello, the prospecâ€" tor referred to lived for some time in Timmins, leaving here to go to Detroit where he had the chance of better emâ€" ployment.
