ASSESSMENT WORK MUST BF DONE BEFORE APRIL, 1930 PAID CIRCULATION LAST WEEK 285 3 Hundreds of Kamiskotia Claims Affectâ€" ed by New Ruling in Regard to Assessment Work Last year, on account of the fire hazâ€" ard, a ruling was made allowing the holding of claims in the Kamiskotia area with the assessment work deforâ€" red. To proceed with any work it was necessary to secure a permit and to have any work preceed under the diâ€" rection of a fire ranger. To protect the holders of claims the assessment work was not made obligatory to hold claiuns last year. As a result of this ruling,. there are hundreds of claims in the Kamiskotia area where the assessment work is untouched. A new ruling is ,’n force this year requiring assessment work to be done by April 16th, 1930. Unless the work is done the claims will revert to the Government. There are 14 townships in Kamiskotia specially affected by the new ruling, and at the present minute it would appear that a large number of Kamiskotia claims are likely to be dropped. Claim stakers must have permits from the Fire Ranâ€" gers‘ department to do any summer work in Kamiskotia, the biggest part of which is in a forest reserve. If the sâ€" sessment work on the claims is rnot done this summer it will have to be done in the winter. The doing of asâ€" sessment work in winter is not very practical. Among the classes of work that are required to count on the asâ€" sessment work are surveying, diamond grilling, and actual mining and brosâ€" pecting work, such as stripping, trenchâ€" ing, etc. Surveying counts up to 30 days‘ assessment work and no doubt many who have the money to do se will have necessary surveying done to count on this year‘s assessment work which is going to be difficult to manage befcre ‘ i 1 Treasurerâ€"Mrs. Wm.

Banfield, of Africa, wentyâ€"three years on the nom of the M «== CHANGES MADE IN OFFIGES *\ AT TXE TIMMINS TOWN HALL The latest changes were made in the past week. The police office was moved from the front of the first storey of the building and this room given over to the offices of the assessor and tax collector. With the water rates, as well as taxes being paid in Mr. Chanâ€" non‘s office the need for further room in that department has been noted for some time past. Part of the council chamber has been partioned off to make an office for the police, and while the room is small it will no doubt serve its. purpose for the present at least. The whole downstairs of the building has been newly varnished and is acâ€" cordingly much better in appearance. Perhaps, the most noteworthy change is in regard to the seating Aacâ€" commodation in the council chamber or court room. The only chairs and the benches that have been doing serâ€" vice for some years past have been removed. The benches will be transâ€" ferred to the town park for use there. In place of the chairs and benches there are a number of ‘e@pera chairs attached together and arranged in rows with a passageway down the centre to allow free access from the back of the court room to the front. The chairs were formerly used in the Old Empire theatre, now occupied by the T. Eaton groceteria. These chairs are practicâ€" ally as good as new and will give long years of good service. They improve the appearance of wshe room very conâ€" siderably. The chairs were purchased at a very reasonable figure from Leo. Mascioli, the Old Empire theatre being discontinued and the theatre company having no use for them elsewhere. They answer the town‘s immediate needs in very satisfactory way. There are sixty of these chairs all told. Whole Front of Buiking for Assessor and Tax Collector. _Police Office at Rear. New Chairs for Council Room: There are periodic changes and reâ€" arrangements made in the Timmins municipal buildings and this will likely have to continue until a complete new and modern type of building is erected in keeping with the rest of the town. ) _ M itnetize ineriiiie en On account of the changes referred to it is not possible now to accommoâ€" date as many in the courtroom as forâ€" merly when they could stand up and squeeze in. As a consequence it has been necessary to stop others from atâ€" tempting to gain entrance to the court rcoom when the available seats are fillâ€" ed. This gave rise on Wednesday of this week to considerable objection from a number of people in town Each week there are numbers of people who crowd to the police court as they would go to a show. While interfering as little as possible with the people in general, it will be absolutely necessary to limit the number crowding in for police court cases. The witnesses, the officials, etc., will be first accommoâ€" dated and after that as many as can get seating accommodation will be alâ€" lowed in the room and the rest will | have to stay outside. A business meeting of members of the Caledonian Society will be held on Tuesday evening next, May 28th at 8 p.m. in the Hollinger Recreation hall. The business on hand is the proposed picnic this summer. All members are asked to make a point of being present. Following the business meeting a whist drive will be held commencing at 8.30 pm. Good prizes are offered and there will be refreshments. All are invited to attend the whist drive, this being the last Caledonian Society event for the season.‘ LAST MEETING OF SEASON OF CALEDONIAN SOCIETY April 1l6th, 1930. A large number of the Kamiskotia claims need surveying, staking in many cases being made in the snow. Tomorrow (Friday) Will Be Public Holiday Here Toâ€"morrow (Friday) is Victoria Day and a public holiday in Canada. Stores will be closed, as well as the banks and other business and profesâ€" sional offices In Old Ontario the practice for years was to have the Twentyâ€"fourth of May as a big sports day, the real opener of the summer season. In the North Land the day is not so popular for sports on account of the uncertainty of the weather at this time of year. However, this year, as will be noted by the article elsewhere in this issue the recently organized Timmins Boys‘ Athletic Association is holding a day of sports at the athletic grounds here, weather permitting. One big feature of the twentyâ€"fourth this year is the boxing tournament at the skating rink under the management of Lap Laprairie, while another is the anâ€" nual Fire Department ball at the Maâ€" sonic hall. The Canadian Legion is also holding a dance at the Mcintyre hali, Schumacher. So there is someâ€" thing doing for everybody most of the day. As will be noted by the announceâ€" ment elsewhere in this issue the court of revision on the assessment roll for the township of Tisdale will be held in the council chambers, South Porcuâ€" pine, at 10 o‘clock in the forenoon of Wednesday, June 5th, to hear and doâ€" cide any appeals from the 1929 assessâ€" ment. COURT OF Â¥HE Edward Lavesque was arrested some days ago following some good work done by Officer Fulton of the Schuâ€" macher police and his assistant othâ€" cer. A man complained to the police that he had left a suitcase at Dwyer‘s livery stable and when he called for it, the grip could not be found, those in charge at the livery not having seen CHARGED WITH STEALING GRIP CONTAINING CLOTHE®S it. The suitcase contained clothing and other valuables. The police got the man to describe the man with whom the suitcase was left and with this as a basis clues were secured pointâ€" ing to Lavesque as the man wanted. When the police found Lavesque he was wearing a pair of pants that were identified as the same as a pair in the lost grip. After Lavesque was arrested he admitted to the police that he knew where the suitcase could be found and from the information given the trophy was recovered by the police. Lavesque will face a charge of theft in police court at South Porcupine toâ€"day (Thursday). SEMIâ€"FINALS 1N NOVIGE BOXING BOUTS ON MAY 24 Another Big Boxing Event Toâ€"morrow â€" (Friday) Evening at the Timmins Skating Rink Literally hundreds of people were disappointed because for one reason or another they were not present at the boxing exhibition on Friday evening last. These disappointed ones certainâ€" ly missed the biggest boxing treat ever given in the North Land. Last Friâ€" day‘s feature, under the management of "Lap" Laprairie, is acknowledged by all to have been a regular corrugated humdinger of a success. All who atâ€" tended Friday night‘s event will nsed no second bidding to arrange to be present on Friday evening this week, May 24th, when ‘"Lap‘" is putting on another in the series. It will be the semiâ€"final novice boxing bouts, the proâ€" ceeds to go to the furnishing of a boxâ€" ing and -wrestling gymnasium for the free use of the camp under proper and trained supervision. Among the features at the event at the skating rink toâ€"morrow (Friday) evening will be:â€""Lefty" Billy Trumâ€" ble vs "Kid" Roy Hamilton; Arthur Leonard, vs "Handsome" Pat McQuire; Dutch Johnson and a 2â€"round exhibiâ€" tion with his sparring partner. Johnâ€" son meets Micky Watts in the third of the series at the rink on June 3rd. Other matches for the evening will inâ€" clude:â€"Douglas Cripps vs Mart. Banâ€" ning; Harcld Johnson vs Viv. Wallingâ€" ford; Leonard Wadsworth vs Wil. Barâ€" ette; Jack Robinson VS William Shalest; Nelson Emard vs Harold Wallâ€" ingford; Eugene Laporte vs Walter Craik. It will be found that the young fellows now in training put up fast and snappy battles that will delight all fight fans. The whole evening is <ure to be a good one. The show, "Lan" says, is going to finish sharp at 10.15 p.m., so as to allow patrons to atterd the Firemen‘s Ball that evening. Reference is made elsewhere in this issue to sleighing at Devonshire, heâ€" tween Porquis Junction and Cochrane, last week, when a settler was noticed from the train hauling pulpwood out by the sleigh route. It may be noted that while there was nothing like sleighing in town, on Saturday last there were settlers who did use sleighs for transâ€" porting themselves and supplies from Timmins to their homesteads miles out. REVISION OF TOWNSHIP OF TISDALE TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 23rd, 1929 SGHUMACHER YOUNG LADY FOUND DEAD ON WEDNESDAY Aner Lilian Wils 24 years of age, daughter of Mr. and . Jos. Wilsorn, of Schumacher, was found dead lying on top of the bed in her room on Wedâ€" nesday morning about nine o‘clock, when her mother entered the room and made the sad discovery. A doctor was at once summoned, but life had been extinct for some hours. The girl was fully dressed and it would appear that she had taken poison, presumably carâ€" bolic acid, while in state of melanâ€" cholia. The young lady‘s mouth and nose were covered with blood and all the indications pointed to death Bby carbolic acid. A note left by the girl also indicated the idea of selfâ€"destrucâ€" tion and a depressed state of mind at the time. The young lady was of a bright and lively disposition usually, but sometimes became depressed. Aner Lilian Wilson Evidently Took Own Life on Wednesday Morning at Early Hour Coroner H. E. Montgomery . was summoned and a postmortem was conâ€" ducted. The result of the postmortem has not been announced, but it is unâ€" derstood to indicate death by carholic acid poisoning. An inquest will be held likely on Tuesday next. No reason, physical or otherwise, can be found for the young lady taking her own life, except through spell of severe depression. Her home was a good one and she had no other reason for any desire to leave this life, except the unfortunate condition of mind that sometimes occurs in a fit of depression. The deepest sympathy is felt for the family in their sad bereavyment. Last of Season‘s Social Events at Hollinger Hall The Lancashire Social Club are planâ€" ning a big night for June 1st, Saturday of next week, in the Hollinger hal. This is‘expected to be the last event of the season in the Hollinger hall and the Lancashire Club intends to make it a grand finale. The committes in charge have planned an open dance for the occasion, including novelties that are sure to please all. The Lancashire Social Club events all through the ssaâ€" son have been very enjoyable and it is hoped and expected to make this equal to or better than any similar events in the past. VISIT OF LIBERAL LEADER TO THE NORTH COUNTRY Reference was made in past issues to the expected visit of Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair, leader of the Liberal party in the province of Ontario, to the North Land. This week a despatch from Coâ€" balt makes the following further referâ€" ence to the expected visit:â€""W. E. N. Sinclair, leader of the Liberal Opposiâ€" tion in the Ontario Legislature and his party of members are to be in this district from June 12 to 14 during their trip through Northern Ontario. The visit will include Cobalt, New Liskeard and Haileybury and other parts of the Temiskaming riding. The party will reach here from the north, after stops have been made at different points in north and south Cochrane constituenâ€" cies. Plans for the visit here will be made by the executive of the party at an early date." June 8th or 10th This would mean that Mr. Sinclair and party would be in Timmins preâ€" vious to June 12th probably around WILD GEESE AGAIN PAYING VISIT HERE ON WAY NORTH Flocks of the Game Bir Reached Here on Tuesday and Making Their Annual Call Gillies Although for several days the wild geese had been going by on their anâ€" nual trek north, none had stopped at the lake near the Hollinger compressor plant where for several years the migâ€" ratory birds have been calling on the. way to their summer feeding grounds. It looked for a time as if the wild geese were going to miss their Timâ€" mins call. This seemed especially likeâ€" ly to some when on Sunday last a large number of the birds stopped at Gillies Lake for a rest on their long air voyâ€" age. Many were afraid that for some reason or another the birds had decidâ€" ed not to visit here again, and there would have been very general disapâ€" pointment if this were the case. Some feared that last year something might have happened to frighten the birds away from here. But on Tuesday all disappointments were removed as a large number of wild geese came along to camp at the compressor house sancâ€" tuary. They circled round and found the old place as if they had complete maps and compasses for their air trips and knew exactly where they wished to stop for their needed rest. All of which was no doubt the actual case. In any case large numbers of the interesting birds are here again and are a point of interest to all, many visiting the scene several times a day to view the interâ€" esting callers. Lake. Dr. S. W. Olton Passes Away Suddenly at Newmarket Hosts of friends of Dr. S. MVW. Olton, who for some time practised his proâ€" fession in Timmins, will learn of his sudden death at Newmarket on Sunday of this week. The despatches from Newmarket say that the death was unexpected, though Dr. Olton had been in poor health for some time past. He was found dead at his residence. Dr. Boyd, the coroner for the district was called, but decided that a jury inâ€" quest was unnecessary, death being due to natural causes. Dr. Olton spont some years in Timmins in Dr. Moore‘s office here and made hosts of friends by his talents and his ability and friendliness. Dr. Olton left here about 1917 to prepare for overseas service and went across to do his bit in the C.A.M. C. On his return to Canada he took up residence in Newmarket, Ont., where he resumed his work as a mediâ€" cal practitione’r. He is survived by a wife and two small sons. and to those the sincere sympathy of all in Timmins will be extended in their sad loss. Gordon L. Nelson, of Hamilton, Ont., Deputy Supreme Dictator for Ontario of the Loyal Order of Moose, is visiting Timmins Lodge, No. 1658, L.O.O.NM., this week. Toâ€"morrow, Friday, e;;(-n- ing, May 24th, at 8 p.m.xhe will adgress an open meeting of IHW the Moose and their friends. As is speaker of marked ability and has a topic that he makes of very wide apâ€" peal and attraction, ell members of the local ledge and their friends are urged to attend this gathering which wiill be held in the Moose hall at 8 p.m. DEPUTY SUPREME DICTATOR 0F MOOSE VISTITING NORTH BAY SEES "BIG FOUR" IN NORTHERN HOCKEY IN 1930 A paragraph from the "Sportology column of The North Bay Nugget says "While it has been reported that Ssouth Porcupine, Kirkland Lake’and Timmins were laying in a stock of new material for next winter, they were not doing it unnoti¢ced by Iroquois Falls. According to a report from Hailâ€" eybury, the Eskimos will be just as forâ€" midable as the other teams in the group. It is said that four Ottawa city leaguers in the persons of Frankie Laâ€" vigne, Clyde Murray, Reg. Shields and Hec Jodouin, stole Northward in time to register as papermakers before May 15. According to the present layout, Timmins, South End, Kirkland and Iroquois Falls will form the "Big Four" group, with Haileybury on the side lines." ROD AND GUN MEMBERSHIPS SHOULD BF PAID THIS WEEK All Interested in Sport and in the Conâ€" servation of Fish and Game Skould Coâ€"operate This Year, Membership fees for the Porcupine Rod and Gun Club should be paid this week. Payment may be made to either E. M. Allworth, Capt. A. W. Young or J. D. Brady. The membership carries with it a number of benefits, including membership in the Ontario Federation of Anglers Those who join also know that they are coâ€"operating in the work of conservation of fish and game. Every advance along this line has been materially assisted and speeded by the Rod and Gun Club. The appointment of a game warden for this district, the stocking of the rivers and lakes with fish fry, and various regulations lookâ€" ing to the better conservation of fish and game have been largely due to the good work of the Rod and Gun Club. There is still a large amount of work to do and the Rod and Gun Club is more needed toâ€"day than ever in the past. It is well known that unless thought is .given the matter, precautions insisted upon and constant vigilance maintainâ€". 1 \ 1 ‘ ed the work of the depletion of the fish and game of this North will proceed to the sericus loss of the country and the people. This year the Rod and Cun Club is particularly interested in getâ€" ting fish ladders placed in the river here. Fish ladders would allow the fish to go upstream for the spawning season, and this would mean that there would be fish in this part of the river again. There was a time when the Mattagami in this section had lots of fish, but the construction of the various dams, withâ€" out fish ladders being installed, meant the depletion of the fish. . The Rod and Gun Club has been endeavouring to have fish ladders installed in the river for some some time. It looks as if this would be possible this year. The largâ€" er the membership the easier it will be to accomplish this good work and to do cther things that need to be done. All interested in fish and game and in sport and in the country generally should take a membership in the Rod and Gun Club and lend their support and interest to the good work being atâ€" tempted for the conservation of fish } and game in this area. The annual memorial services at the Timmins cemetery are to be held on Sunday afternoon, June 2nd. BOTH THEATRES HERE 10 â€" HAVE COMMUNITY NIGHTS Both the Goldfields theatre and the New Empire theatre are inaugurating a new feature that should be very popular. This new feature is the Comâ€" munity Night idea. The plan is to reâ€" serve Monday and Tuesday nights of each and every week as Community Nights. On these nights there will be a full programme of pictures with speâ€" cial features and the price of admission to one and all will be only 25 cents. This community price applies to everyâ€" body and at both theatres on these community nights. Adults and childâ€" ren alike will pay the nominal admisâ€" sion of 25 cents on these nights and all will find it the biggest quarter‘s worth of good entertainment ever offered in the North. The idea of the Community nights and the straight 25 cents admisâ€" sion to everybody is to further popuâ€" larize the motion pictures here and also to allow opportunity for everybody to see good pictures at a price within the reach of all. Starting May 2"th, Every Monday and Tuesday at Both Theatres Will be Community Nights at Very Popular Prices Community Nights will start next week, May 27th and 28th, and will be held every Monday and Tuesday thereâ€" after, with the nominal admission fee of 25 cents all round, at both the Goldâ€" fields theatre and the New Empire theatre. YOUNGSTER MAKES GOOD RECOVERY FROM OPERATION South Porcupine, May 16th â€"Little Terry Pullin, the baby son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Pullin, of the Dome Ex., is reâ€" covering from his recent serious operaâ€" tion, showing a vitality and stamina rather unusual in one so young. The little fellow complained of feeling sick and when Dr. Kinsman arrived in reâ€" sponse to a call, the youngster was at once hurried to the hospital and operâ€" ated upon at once. The appendix it was found had already burst, but thanks to the skill, care and attention given by the doctors and nurses, ihe child is now well on the way to recovâ€" gry: LEAVING OF MRS. R. B. SIMMS VYVERY GENERALLY REGRETTED Mrs. R. B. Simms, who has been a useful and highly esteemed resident of Timmins for seven or eight years past, left on Tuesday morning for Montreal and will take up residence in the Ssouth. Mr. Simms, who was a popular member of the Hollinger: staff, left some weeks ago to take up a special course of study in electricial lines and Mrs. Simms, who stayed here to comâ€" plete the season‘s courses in dancing instruction, left this week to rejoin her husband. Mr. and Mrs. Simms will be much missed in town, and will be followed to their new home by the best wishes of hosts of friends. Mr. Simms, as president of the Mattagamii Aquatic Association and in other public capacities, gave good service here. Mrs. Simms, whose dancing classes for youngsters deservedly won a very higzh reputation, will be especially missed by those interested in the growth of grace and physical charm in children, her classes here and at South Porcuâ€" pine and the Dome conferring a very decided benefit to the children of the camp and adding materially to the pleasure of the adults. ‘Mr. Hugh ) Boyle, formerly of the sidentiat ileybury, motored here last Haileybury, finding the too bad, if they weren‘t too good." He‘thought the worst strip of road was that on the other side of Golden City. PAID CIRCULATION LAST WEEK 285.3 3 Sections â€" 24 Pages Timmins Boys‘ Athletic Association Preâ€" senting Programme of Baseball, Softball, Football for May 24th SPORTS DAY TOâ€"MORROW BY NFW ATHLETIG ASSOCIATION Mr. I. A. Solomon had secured the grovnds for a baseball game, but kindâ€" I1v arreed to coâ€"operate with the bovs in presenting a good afternoon of sport. The event toâ€"morrow will open with softball at 10 o‘clock in the mornirng, when the Monarchs and Junior Mosse will try conclusions. At 11 a.m, the Tuxis and the Moyseys will battle it out. These games should be of very special interest, as these are the four teams comprising the 1929 town softâ€" ball league, and anyone who wants a line on the teams should see these opening exhibitions of the game of softball. The recently organized Timmins Boys‘ Athletic Association, formed to direct all junior sports in town and prevent overâ€"lapping and duplication of effort, announces a big day of sports to be held on the athletic grounds, at Timmins toâ€"morrow, Friday, May 24th. Toâ€"morrow is Victoria Day, and weoaâ€" ther permitting there will be an attracâ€" tive programme of sports. Porcupine Juniors and Timmins Juriâ€" ors.. This should be a very interesting match. Timmins Juniors were the 1928 Junior Champions of Northern Ontarico and Provincial finalists. South Porecuâ€" pine Juniors are said to be much stronger than last year and the chances are that in this first game of the season they will give the Timmins Juniors a very close run for their money. At 1 p.m. baseball will take the field, the first match being between South At 3 p.m., the McIintyre Seniors from Schumacher will play the South Porâ€" cupine Seniors and this baseball match should keep the fans on their toes. McIntyre hold the Temiskaming Championship for 1928 and have no desire to drop any honours. Although losing some of their champion team they are not figuring on losing any games if they can help it. They have fielded aâ€"promising team and intend to do honour to Manager Solomon. On the other hand the South Porcupine Seniors are understood to have a very strong team this year, and the Porcuâ€" pine boys intend that the team that wins here in this match toâ€"morrow will earn the honour by the best kind of fast ball. At 5 pm. the winners of the two softball games in the morning will play off, and this should make a very attractive softball feature. Football will also be featured by a junior game, the Dome Juniors and the Timmins Juniors being the teams in this football feature which will be enâ€" joyed by all who like good football, both teams being reported to be very promising material. It was intended to have some field and track events for the children at this twentyâ€"fourth of May event, but this was found to be impractical on account of the shortness of time for preparation and the fact that the apâ€" plication forms, giving all the necessary information for use in such an evert, have not yet been all returned or tabuâ€" lated. It is intended, however, in the near future to stage another big ficld day to specialize in field and track events. In the meantime the Victoria Day sports should make a very general _appeal to the sportâ€"loving public: NOTABLE FIND REPORTED IN GHKIE AND ZAVZ Hundred Claims Staked Recently in Section About Thirty Miles from Timmins The latest gold rush is reported front Geikie and Zavitz townships where notable gold showings are said to be discovered. About a hundred claims have been staked in these two townâ€" ships in the past few days. Free gold is understood to have been found and the claims are reported as most proâ€" mising indeed. The section is on» it which there has not been muchn activity in past years and so there is extra speâ€" cial interest in the little rush at presâ€" ent. A number of prospectors have gone out from Timmins to this new scene and hopes are high for something big doing. At present little informaâ€" tion is available as to the finds or the conditions and cirecumstances, but it is known that the prospectors are busy in the area and that staking is being done. Geikie township is about 30 miles from â€" Timmins, adjoining Bartlett township where there has been conâ€" siderable activity at different times in the past. Zavitz township is south of Geikie. Geikie is in the Porcupine mining division, while Zavitz is in the Sudbury division. The progress of work® on the stakings in these two townships will be followed with very keen interest, If they turn out anyâ€" thing like as good as reports sugzest they are, it will mean a new camp of considerable importance.
