The first pericd was well on the way when by some good team work and staying with the rebounds, Cross and Mulvahill accounted for the first score fcor the Porkies A few minutes later Mulvahill stcle a pass from Saunders ard with Rundle‘s help beat the deâ€" mos was ‘the next to get through, the spasm ending 2â€"1 with an exciting finâ€" ih, the Porkies playing two men shont and Cross kesping the Eskimo horde at South Porcupine and Falls Play Keen Overtime Match arnd â€"als Powers, putting the Porkics two up. Wilson for the Eskiâ€" Correspondent. e South Porcupise, Jan. 7th 1930. Speâ€" cial to The Adance. The bridge club from down town was entertained last week at the home of Mrs. J. McCaffrey, Dome Mines. Then the following week Mesdames Dowzer, Rapsey, Frood and Kincaid entertainâ€" ed both clubs at the home of Mrs. E. J. Rapzey in town. Unique tally cards added much to the zest of the evening. The winners of first prizes were Mrs. F. Clark and Mrs. MacPhail while Mrs. T. Wright and Mrs. F. Hamilton carâ€" ried away the consolation awards. passes of Cross were very favourably commented upon. This player was 1st quite so closely checked as in the first game by the Eskimos, that team hnaving probably decided there were cthers worth watching. Jemmett got 2 bang on the leg that nearly made a casualty of him. Penalties were numâ€" prcus, averaging about a half dozen to a pericd, but all for minor infractions. Although each team was out to win aend putting their all into the game a feslinz of sportsmanship preâ€" vailed, the penalties being the result of the spsed and excitement of the game rather than ill will. A misdiâ€" rested puck hit Mr. Jamieson, careâ€" taker of the Falls rink, on the cheekâ€" bcne and left him with a badly swollen face. Dr. Craillorette, of Chicago, is a busiâ€" ness visitor in town. He is interested in several properties in the Kamiskotia arca. = Mr. Clifford Jemmett, of Barrie, who formerly resided here, visited his broâ€" ther Charles and family at the Dome Minzs over the weekâ€"end. Miss Alma Laforest returned to the University of Toronto on Tuesday. Miss Margaret MacPhail, of McGill University, Montreal, has been spendâ€" inz the Yuletide vacation under the parental roof at the West Dome Lake Gold Mines. A large timber wolf was seen by three or four different men on the edge of the thick bush just across the railway t~aâ€"k cn the Dome rcad on Thursday of last week. Two of the parties that seeing it were experienced buchmen and say that it was an exâ€" c>;::onally large one of the type. Some acgs attempted to give chase but goon thought it was the better part of valâ€" matched. The ice was firstâ€"class and iha crowd was on tipâ€"toe all the time, first cne side having a oneâ€"goal lead then the other plunging forward. It was anybody‘s game to the last gong cf ths thu'ty minute overtime. Then Eskimos won out by a 5â€"4 score. of the Eskimos was probably the man on the ice. Spence of the Porkies was injured shortly after the start of the game an@ had to be off. This slowed him up conâ€" siderably during the evening. Mulvaâ€" hill played a very consistent game, beâ€" ing at all times dangerous. The clever Miss Bet‘y Pashlar, of Ottawa, is the new teacher for Junior Fourth taking the place of Miss L. E. Johnson in the town school. Mr. Hugh Boyle, of Haileybury, was a visitor to camp this week. € W Tho:e who took advantage of the special train to go down to Iroquo‘s Falls last Friday night saw the full time limit the N.O.H.A. allows of hockey.

At 90,000 shares cof the cutstanding 100,000 Provincial shares will be bought. The stock is privately hnold. The Abitibi company has made apâ€" plication to list $100,000 shares of addiâ€" stock on the New York exchange The transaction between the two comâ€" yanies will be completed, it is expected, within a few weeks.

For other than club members invitations are necessary tor this event. Invitations may be seâ€" cured from the officers of the club. Work they certainly did in the overâ€" time which went into a third period before a goal was scored. Then Cross got nicely through and with Spence‘s help they put Porcupine again in the lead but this was shortâ€"lived, Murray tieing the score in a few moments, and almost in less time than it takes to write it, Saunders caught the guardians of Porcupine citadel ‘a little off guard arld1 in went ansther counter giving his team the victory. The game was ably refereed by Rthchilds, of Sudbury. If the Porcupinge Club wants a motâ€" to for future games with the Eskimos we wou‘d suggest, "Stay on the Ico." ABITIBI CO. TAKING OVER PROVINCIAL PAPER COMPANY Mulvahill and Fell were still in the box when ‘the second pericd sharted. Cybulski stole a pass and shot from cen‘tre ice making the score a tie Jemmett‘s work at centre was the best feature of this period. Too many naughty boys sitting in a row was the worst. At one time Porkies had only two men and the gcalie on Oone of the highâ€"lights was a mixture of hockâ€"checks back pass, forward pass, shinny, lacrosse and hockey all put on in a space about ten feet square in centre ice by the opposing forwards lines that had the crowd roaring with amussment for a few monents. Soon after Wilson got, the puck from Jemâ€" mett in ccnire ics, ‘ock his time anc beat the Porkies defence, kept Sarjeant guessing, till he guessed wrong, and lo! the black biscuit was again cooked and the Eskimos on the better side cf a 3â€"2 score. bay Mr. and Mrs. Henry R.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO This week the T. N. QO. station at Sesekinika was completely destroyed by fire. The fire was first noticed betweeon four and five oclock in the morning but by that time it was impossible to do ianything to save the building. Th «tructure was only a small frame buildâ€" inz for the shelter of passengers who mizsht have to use the station waiting ‘for trains. As in the case ofâ€"all such was felt useless to think of charging Murvin with burning the depot or with any other form of On the other han‘d it would not do:to allow him his freedom without some sort of arrangeâ€", ment for ‘the safety of the public. Murvin was consequently charged with vagrancy, and on being found guilty was sentensed to five months‘ imâ€" prisonment. He was taken down to Haileybury toâ€"day to commence ns sen‘tence. LANCASHIRE CLUB DANCE VERY LARGELY ATTENDED bor oby followingâ€" tracks, arsund the ~buildinz. Eventually. Offiâ€" cer Swan reached Yorkston and pickâ€" ed up a man named Mike Murvin, a Finlander,â€"who at the time of his arâ€" rest was slesping behind the stove in the Yorkston T. N. O. shelter. There was a sizzling fire on, but in this case the stove had been carefully looked after. Murvin is wellâ€"known along th‘is section of the T. N. 0. When Offiâ€" cer Swan asked him if he knew anyâ€" thing about the burning down of the staticn and also whether he (Murvin) was responsible for the offence, the answer in each case was "Yes." But no matter what question was asked the man seemed to have no other word than "Yes" in answer. Because of this fact and other information to hand it The Lancashire Club dance in the Hollinger Recreation hall on Saturday evening last was largely attended, and in general those present had a pleasant time. The Club Royal orchestra proâ€" vided music for the occasion. Refreshâ€" ments and the other usual features of Lancashire Social Club events added to the pleasure of the evening. On Monday evening at North Bay Capt. Hart Martin, one of the wel!lâ€" known figures in Canadian mining civrâ€" cles, died after a week‘s illness. He had been home to North Bay for about two months and had intended to reâ€" turn to his operations in the Red Lake area early this year. Capt. Martin was for many years actively identified with North Land mining, and his unexpectâ€" ed death comes as shock to wide cirâ€" cles of friends. scmall stations along the T. N. O., there was no one to watch the building, and,."as there was a stove in the buildâ€" ing, as well as wood available, it is *hought that someone made use of the building and through carelessness or accident set fire to the building. Tracks in the snow outside the strucâ€" ture help ito prove this theory. It is thought that the wood available near the station was too long to go into the stove without leaving the stove Coor open and that this door being open some live embers fell on the wooden floor with the result that scon the whole structure was in flames. Although the building at was nJt a valuable strucâ€" turs, still the T. N. 0. did not want it destroyed. Also the railway does not intend to have other of its shelters desâ€" troyed by fire or otherwise. Accordâ€" ingly, T. N. O. Detective R. Swan was very promptly on the .case. It was believed that some tramp might easily have set fire ito the Sesekinika staticn while using it for a resting place. At any event it seemed certain that the tooâ€"free use of these stations or shelâ€" ters could not be permitted if the safeâ€" ty of the buildings was to jeopardized. Officer Swan wa‘s anmse to secure clues in regard t) the burning of the Seskinika sitaâ€" WELLâ€"KNOWN MINING MAN PASSES AWAY AT NORTH BAY When the great strike was made in the Klondike in ‘98 he joined the rush.

Harold Walsh and Mineault, two youngsters, are in line for the netâ€"tendâ€" ing assignment with the former likely to be given first ranking. Sim and Red Porter, Twin Falls brothers, form the defence, and to date they have shown exeeptional ability. Both are heavy and fast and clever rushers. Pender, Saunders, Howard Walsh, Max Bennett, Larsen, Yornchuk and Judd are in line for the rorward positions.
