The son, perhaps, may be a LAAA e R _ MR Meks e ME COs PCE mere lad, faced with the knowledge that his is the task of helping to look after mother and, perhaps, younger brothers and sisters. Then it is that he judges his father. Then it is that he remembers his kindnesses, condones his weakâ€" nesses, and then it is that he wonders sorrowâ€" fully, why his father did not make better finanâ€" cial provision for his mother. § If you have known of an instance where ason has thus sat in judgment upon his father, remember that the time may come when your own son (or your daughtergâ€"'if you hz;ve childrenâ€"will h m d WE 0s .__-:“ ‘-LA:- w v a% \Ul ,Uul t Ne C # on CE Ec n sit in judgment upon you.

V‘ a 2 1COuU 1/ er The George Taylor Hardware Limited Cobalt New Liskeard Cochrane Swastika To Work Nickel Claims in Dundonald and Clergue Some weeks ago The Advance had reference to the probable reâ€"opening of the Alexo Mine, and also to the chance of a new company taking up the development of property in the saime area and supposedly on the same ore breaks. In regard to the latter The Northern Miner last week had the folâ€" lowing :â€" Alexo Extension Nickel Syndicate has secured cight patented claims in the townships of dundonald and Clergue, near Timmins, and has also acquired an option to purchase four adjoining patented claims in the same area. On the latter group massive and disseminâ€" ated nickel sulphides are reported on surf suriace. j Adjoining the syndicate holdings on both northeast and southwest is the Alexo Nickel Mine, from which conâ€" siderable ore of commercial grade was removed in war time. It is proposed to acquire a diamond drill and to test the extension of the Alexo mineralized area. Extract from the report of the Royal Commission on nickel referring to the Alexo Mine proâ€" per. says: "Assays gave as high as 11.46 per‘ cent nickel. The deposit has a proven length of 700 feet and diamond drilling has shown ore at depth of 240 feet. The width of the ore body at the 120â€"foot level is 40 feet. The massive ore carries six to eight per cent. nickel, while the disseminated carries three per cent." "Many Haileybury people who reâ€" cently enjoyed a story by Leslie McFarâ€" lane *"*The Breed of Pioneers," publishâ€" ed in MacLean‘s Magazine, will be inâ€" terested in the following article from The Porcupine Advance and will be eager to see further proof of the popuâ€" larity of the works of that author, who is a Haileybury boy, and the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H McFarlane." The T. N. 0. Railway traverses the property, which is about 28 miles northeast of Timmins. Several govâ€" ernment reports on the area mention the Extension groups favourably. T. H/ Miller, C. E. Powell and J. Lewis Burnard are the committee of management for the syndicate, which is capitalized at 5,500 units of a par value of $50 each,. It is proposed to later float a $5,000,000 company. Head office is at 512 McKinnon Building, Toâ€" ronto. In reâ€"publishing a recert article from The Advance in regard to the "talkie" motion picture to be produced in Timâ€" mins and district, The Haileyburian last week prefaced the story from The Advance with the following paragraph, commenting on the author of the play to be produced here:â€" HAILEYBURY INTERESTED IN "BREFED OF THE PIONEER" AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR : Products are Mined and Manufactured in Canuda. Canadian Johnsâ€"Manville THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIOQ 2 4 PROMOTIONS ANNOUNCED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF MINES Thomas Gibson, While Still Deputy Minister, to do Special Work T. F. Sutherland to be Acting Deputy Minister, Mr. Sutherland joined the Mines Branch in 1911, and after two years as District Inspector for the North was appointed Chief Inspector. Formerly he followed his own profession of minâ€" ing enginger and gained valuable exâ€" perience in British Columbia and at Porcupine. In 1916 he went to New Caledonia and Tasmania as Mining Engineer to the Commission investiâ€" gating the nickel situation, and in 1925 he visited the Belgian Congo and South Africa in the interests of the Departâ€" ment of Mines. Hon. Chas. McCrea last week anâ€" nounced important promotions in the Department of Mines for Ontario. Mr. Thos. W. Gibson who has beaen deputy minister of the Department of Mines from its inception, will be adâ€" visory consultant for the department and in this role will do special work for the branch. At the same time he will retain the position of deputy minister. Mr. Thos. F. Sutherland, for the past 16 years chief inspector of mines for Ontario, has been promoted to the new position of acting deputy minister of mines. To Mr. Sutherland will fall the exacting duties which, in recent years have been brought about by the general expansion of the mining inâ€" dustry ad the greater volume and complexity of business coming before the department as a consequence. l Mr. Gibson is one of the oldest pubâ€" lic servants in the province in point of years of service. He joined the Government service in 1880 when he was appointed private secretary to Hon. T. B. Pardee, then the Commissioner of Crowm Lands. When the Bureau of Mines was established in 1891. Mr.! Gibson became secretary of the Buâ€"| reau. In 1900 he was made director of the bureau. In 1906 Mr. Gibson was appointed deputy minister of the Buâ€" reau of Mines, and in 1923 when the bureau was separated from the Lands and Forests Dept., Mr. Gibson became the Deputy Minister for the new Deâ€" partment of Mines, continuing in the position until the present time. Mr. Gibson has had a close connection with all the important steps in the remarkâ€" able growth of Ontario‘s mining inâ€" dustry. In 1899 he knew the Creighâ€" ton Mine when it was no more than a l | on mm on e omm mm on smm shallow pit. In 1903, when in Haileyâ€" bury he obtained from Arthur Ferland a sample of ore which Mr. Ferland thought was copper, but Mr. Gibson reâ€" cognized as Kupfer nickel. Mr. Gibâ€" son induced the late Dr. Miller to visit | Cobalt and investigate. Dr. Miller, who ! was then provincial geologist, found the veins that were opened, while conâ€" taining nickel were really hemarkablyi rich in silver. From this developed | the great silver camp of Cobalt. In | 1911 Mr. Gibson visited Porcupine| when the Hollinger was the only proâ€" | ducer and the "Golden Stairway" at | the Dome was in its glory with armed | guard. Mr. Gibson was a member and | secretary of the Royal Ontario Nickel Company appointed by Hon. G. H. Ferguson in 1915 to investigate the nickel situation. . FALL OF COMMODITY PRICES WILL BENEFIT GOLD MINES In a recent issue The Northern Minâ€" er discusses the supply of gold and its relation to commodity prices, and completing the circle, the relation of commodity prices to the progress of the gold industry. As The Northern Miner figures it out, the outlook apâ€" pears good for gold mining. The ediâ€" torial in The Miner is as follows:â€" "Fall in the price of wheat is due primarily to the unusually large existâ€" ing supply, but there is a force slowly, inexorably working to bring down wheat and the prices of all other comâ€" modities. That forcee is the world gold supply, which is declining in compariâ€" son with the world‘s credit needs. "Increased gold production in Canaâ€" da does not offset a falling elsewhere. "‘The world‘s money is solidly back to a gold basis. The endeavours to make the yellow metal elastic, to stretch it out so that a bar of gold would go further than before in buildâ€" ing up money and credit, are offset by the growing efforts on the part of goldâ€" owning countries to hoard their supâ€" plies. And business has grown much faster than gold mines‘ output. "Supposing all the world‘s commodiâ€" ties were the potato crops, and there was only $1,000 of gold money to pay for them. The total price of the potaâ€" toes would be $1,000 if there were 1,000 bags or 2,000 bags. It‘s a homely illusâ€" tration, but financial experts will say it is true of the world commodity and gold situation. Years of new gold disâ€" coveries, of heavy output, have been followed by years of high prices. Slackening of output has been followed by low prices for potatoes, bread, wages. Low mining costs stimulate gold minâ€" ing. High costsâ€"war experience tolls itâ€"kills off good production. "If we are truly entering into an era of falling commodity prices, as some experts, because of the world gold situâ€" ation, are saying, then we must cerâ€" tainly be entering upon attractive times for gold mining, for speculators and investors. The present would be a wonderful time for Canadian prospscâ€" tors and mining men to discover and develop two or three major gold camps." El Paso Heraid:â€"The next th Coast Guard wishses to sink a boat, 1 should select one belonging to Siam. Claims Made in Appeal in the Ivanchuk Case Osgoode Hall, Toronto, on Friday last, through his counsel, Harry Pine, of Ansonyville, A. G. Slaght, K.C., of Toâ€" ronto, formerly of Haileybury, is to handle the appeal, according to a stateâ€" ment by Mr. Fine last weekâ€"end. "Ivanchuk was convicted of the murâ€" der of constable at the spring assizes in Cochrane early in April, sentenced to be hanged on June 21st, and has since been confined in the district jail here under constant guard. "The grounds on which the appeal will be argued will include new eviâ€" dence, it is stated, which was not availâ€" able at the time of the trial. This eviâ€" dence is in the nature of an alibi and is said to prove that Ivanchuk was with another person at the time the crime was committed and to account clearly for his movements on that date. Other grounds claimed in the appeal are to the effect that the weight of evidence was not sufficient for conviction, that the judge erred in not stressing the eviâ€" dence for the defence as strongly as he did that for the Crown and that the condemned man was not shown to be guilty on the evidence. Anyone who has any touch at all with municipalities in this North Land knows that towns and townships often feel that they suffer from imposition in the case of hospital bills for indigents. It should be remembered at the same time, however, that the hospitals also have their own troubles and they too feel that they are imposed upon someâ€" times. Often a patient will be paid for in the hospital for a time and then the hospital will discover that the original source of pay has been discontinued and perhaps the patient has no funds and apparently no friends to advance any expense money required for hosâ€" pital treatment. Of course the patient can not be put out on the road, and the bill accordingly is sent to the municiâ€" pality of which the patient is supposed to be a resident. Sometimes the onus of residence is not clear and the muniâ€" cipality feels it has a grievance. Until the hospital is paid it also has a grievâ€" ance. It costs money to run an hospiâ€" tal, and hospitals have to collect their "It has been known for some time that an appeal would be entered in beâ€" half of Ivanchuk. Two weeks ago The Haileyburian stated that compatriots of the condemned man, who is an Ausâ€" trian, were working toward this end and communicated with Mr. Slaght. The date for the hearing of the appeal has not been announced, but it is beâ€" lieved it will be within two weeks."

In the attempt to collect one indigent account recently the Lady Minto Hospital at New Lisâ€" keard found it necessary to enter suit in Division Court. As the residence of the patient was disputed the New Lisâ€" keard hospital sued both the town of Englehart and the township of Evanâ€" turel, the decision as to residence thus being left for the court to give. The verdict was to the effect that the townâ€" ship of Evanturel should pay the hosâ€" pital the sum of $54.00. The township also had to pay the costs. The biill was for a 1925 account, so the hospital could not be accused of too speedy atâ€" tempt at collection.
