The total income for the period from the proâ€" duction of gold, silver, interest, exâ€" change and sundries was $3,166,625.00. General mining and milling charges, taxes and other expensees took up to $1,646,868.00, leaving net profits of $1,â€" 519,756.00. Out of this amount $738,â€" 000.00 was paid in dividends, leaving a balance of $781,756.00 to go to surplus. Assets showed an increase, being $27,â€" 704,707.00 as against $27,195,844.00 in March, while the total liabilities amount to $24,851,663.00 as against $24,785,872.00. "One of the big proâ€" blems of the Hollinger," said The Adâ€" vance, "has been the labour supply. Mr. Brigham, the general manager has tackled this big problem in a big way. He has shown that it is the intention to assure the comfort and wellâ€"being of the men in every day. ‘This is resultâ€" ing in a better supply of better labour." A front page arucie in The Adâ€" vance ten years ago showed that up to that time the Porcupine had producâ€" ed over $64,000,000.00 in gold up to the end of 1918. Still greater production was foretold. "There are two mines in the camp that have more than Write Sor free Nestlé‘s Milky Way R ecipe Book 690 ,sixty-nve million dollars more of ore in sight," said The Advance, "and this is not tcuching on the other producâ€" ing mines now on a small basis, Oniy a mere corner of the Porcupine camp has been developed in part, and even this corner seems only to have been | "scratched," as it were, for mines like ithe Hollinger and MciIintyre seem to The Advance ten years ago voiced the complaint of the settlers about the blocking of the river by booms of logs and ties, and it was pointed out that proper care and @Attention and a reaâ€" sonable expenditure by the lumber anc tie companies would avoid this inconâ€" venience to the settlers and others and the breach of the law. The "kick" in The Advance resulted in improveâ€" ment for the balance of the summer, though there were some who roundly cursed The Advance. So far as may be gathered from The Advance, it was little The Advance cared about the cursing, so long as the river was left open for traffic. In the police court here ten years ago one young man was fined $300.00 or one year in jail for evading military service. A settler from Connaught was fined $50.00 and costs for allowing fires to be set out for the burning of slash without the necessary permit. There were also three liquor cases beâ€" fore the court, fines of $200.00, $20.00 and $10.00 respectively being imposed. Much space was given in The Adâ€" vance ten years ago to baseball and football matches in the district. One of these matches was a baseball game between Timmins and Schumacher girls at Schumacher. The game was called for darkness, with Schumacher girls at the right end of a 11 to 10 score. Battery for Timmins was Lilian McCarthy and Carmel Costello, with Nellie Edwards, of North Bay, also pitching for a couple of innings. Henâ€" rietta Plaunt pitched the most of the game for Schumacher, being reâ€" lieved by Mrs. Parker near the end of the game. Laura Bergeron was the Schumacher catcher. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""The property recentâ€" ly occupied by Mr. Sanders, of Sanders and Petchersky, was sold on Thursday last by public auction, Dr. Brown beâ€" ing the purchaser, and the price paid being $1075.00" "Mr. Ed. Lee left on Friday for a vacation at Lennoxville, Que." "Mr. H. Davis and family left this week for Chicago, Illinois, where he will take up residence, having sold his business here in the camp." "Mr. P. Brunelle, of Penetang, has joined Mr. D. Laprairie here and they will carry on business in Timmins as dealers in hay and feed, fruit, vegeâ€" tables, produce, etec. In addition the firm will also be licansed public aucâ€" tioneers and look for good business and the supplying of a notable need in this line in town." "Mr.Evered,of the Daâ€" vidson Mine, returned last week from a visit t othe Matachewan river gold area." "The Banque d‘ Hochelaga inâ€" tend to open a branch in Cochrane in the near future." "Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Boyle returned last week to Cobalt after a visit to relatives and friends in Timmins and South Porcupine." "Mr. J. L. Brown, for some years past in charge of the sales staff of the J. R. Gordon store here, left on Monday to take a position with a large wholesale fruit firm in Toronto." ‘"Levine Bros., of South Porcupine, have purchased the Davis ice cream parlour on Third avenue and are planning importan! changes and alterations. They intend to have one of the most upâ€"toâ€"date iceâ€"cream parlours in the camp." "Mt. The Advance ten years ago had the sad duty of recording the dsath of an Englishman named Penny at CGolden City where he had lived for some years with his wife and family and his father and mother. Troubles of different kinds had made him discouraged and despondent and one Sunday evening he went and locked himself in a room and ended his life with a revolver shot, placing the gun to his mouth for the Dome, would taks management of t the beginning of © Reference was made in The Advance ten years ago to the way that the Timâ€" mins lacrosse team had of winning nearly every match they played. On Aug. 14th, 1919, there was a particularâ€" ly fast game between Timmins and McIintyre teams, Timmins winning 4 to 3. D. Loughrin did most of the scoring for Timmins and as usual played a good game. Another specialâ€" ly mentioned was Jos. Everard, while there was also particular praise for Ed. Leslie‘s good work in goal. Others in the Timmins tsam were Messrs Belâ€" vance of Aug ¢ t that 1919 anger, Therriault, Martin, Boutin, Mc Intyre and Desormeaux. goid CcampSs, wWIIN STIlll follow."

"Cochreus has formed a committee and comâ€" menced preparations for the construcâ€" tion of a quarterâ€"mile race course track and it is expected that the track will be ready in time for the Cochrane fair this year." "The new Timmins Citiâ€" zens‘ Band is busy under the leaderâ€" ship of Mr. E. W. Johnston, in pracâ€" tising to get back into form before the visit of the Prince of Wales to Timâ€" mins. "A meeting was held in the council chambers on Monday evening accompanied him to the dock search was made for ‘him and it was found that he must have fallen from the dock. The body was eventually reâ€" covered by the use of grappling irons." "Mr. John Kilgour‘s condition is reâ€" ported as slightly improved, with good chances now for his recovery. Mr. Kilgour‘s horse ran away on Tuesâ€" day last and in the smashâ€"up Mr. Kilgour apparently was injured interâ€" nally. The runaway occurred near Schumacher, but Mr. Kilgour was able to walk home. Indeed, he pulled back with him the remains of the buggy, and though shaken up badly was in his usual cheerful frame of mind and did not seem to have suffered any seriâ€" ous injury. Later, however, he had to zo to the bed and it developed that his injuries were much more serious than at first considered. He is however, now making satisfactory progress to recovery." "Mr. E. G.

His many friends in this camp will extend sincere congratulaâ€" tions and all will be ready to give Mr. and Mrs. Bartleman a hearty welcome home when they come to the camp to reside, as they expect to dc at an earâ€" ly date." "Mr. Geo. Howe has a young hen that seems to have made a record for early laying. At the age of four months and twentyâ€"four days, this young pullet has laid its first egg, and Mr. Howe is naturally anxious to know if anyone in these parts has a pullet or even knows of one, that can equal its » record." "Last week Marshallâ€" Ecclestone, Limited, brought into thse camp two large new Chevrolet molor trucks, the one for ithe Mattagami Pulp Paper Co., and the other for the Hollinger Consolidated." ‘"The Geo. Taylor Hardware Co. very kindâ€" ly donated the baseballs used last week in the game between the Masons and the Knisht of Columbus." In a recent issue of The Advance it was noted that at the last minute "Dutchy" Johnson had notified those in charge of the boxing bouts planned for Aug. 10th at Kirkland Lake that he did not choose to fight Mickey Watts on this occasion. This information was given The Advance in good faith and published in the same way. Now, however, it appears that this suggesâ€" tion «did "Dutchy‘" Johnson an injusâ€" tice, so quite naturally The Advance is ready, as usual, to give the other side of the case. Indeed, having regard for "Dutchy‘‘ Johnson, both as a gamo boxer and a good fellow personally as well, there is pleasure in recording the fact that it was no lack of courage or an indifference or fear that preâ€" vented Johnson from fulfilling the enâ€" gagement. A letter from J. P. O‘Neill, formerly of Timmins where he was prominent in boxing circles, but now at Kirkland Lake, last week said:â€""I think the reference to Dutchy Johnâ€" son‘s reasons for not fighting Micky Watts in Kirkland Lake on August 10th was decidedly unfair to Johnson, who has always given the fight fans of Timâ€" mins his best, and feels bad because his courage is questioned in his home town. I personally accompanied "Dutchy‘"‘ Johnson to consult «Dr. Cameronâ€"Smith, and heard the doctor tell Johnson that his hands were in bad shape and advised him to take a month‘s layâ€"off from boxing. In fairâ€" ness to "Dutchy‘" Johnson, I would like you to publish the part of this letter referring to him."
