Jack, and Mr. Peter M‘Dougall. For the first time for many years a herd of over one hundred deer, driven from the wilds of Glenavon orest, appeared at Delnabo, on the outskirts of Tominâ€" toul, four miles from the boundary fence of the forest higher up the Avon valley. The nerd halted on the banks of the Avon, but frightened by the reâ€" "An Advisory Committee was apâ€" pointed on February 7 to consider the menace created by the herds of red deer in Scotland, which are creeping farther south on to the sheepâ€"grazing lands, and doing considerable destrucâ€" tion in places where they have not hitherto appeared. The appointment of the committee was the result of a meeting between the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Scotland, Mr. Tom Johnston, and representatives of various agricultural interests. Mr. Peter M‘Intyre, Tighnablair, who reâ€" presented the Highland and Agriculâ€" tural Society and the Scottish Chamâ€" ber of Agriculture, said that since 1921â€" 2 conditions had changed very much for the worse. Fences were broken down, and there was nothing to reâ€" strain the deer, which were doing inâ€" calculable damage. Mr. M‘Intyre said that he had a letter from a sheep farâ€" mer who had been driving away, within a quarter of a mile of his home a thousand deer very morning. Major Erskine Jackson, W.S., secretary of the Sceottish Land and Property Federaâ€" tion, said that he carried out last winâ€" ter a campaign to reduce the number of deer. They killed about 8000, as against 4500, thus nearly doubling the number of hinds killed. He hoped that this winter the figures would be still further increased. What they wanted. done was to kill the deer, and they wanted legislation to help to do that. Mr. Johnston said that as things were, there was no prospect whatever of getâ€" l ting Parliamentary time for a bill of a ‘ controversial nature. The only thing would to get an agreed bill. On his{ suggestion committee was appointed to discuss with representatives of the Department of Agriculture. The comâ€" mittee consists of Mr. Peter M‘Intyre, Mr. Michael G. M‘Diarmid, Lord Lovat, Sir Ian Colquhoun, Mr. W. Cassels Another Kind of Deer Menace in Old Country During the past year or two there has been a menace in this country in regard to deerâ€"the menace that the deer are being all killed off by wolves. ‘The opposite sort of a menace is going on in Scotland at the present timeâ€" the menace to crops and farms through the undue prevalence of deer and their present tendency to come down from the hills into the farms with conseâ€" quent destruction. It might be, perâ€" haps, that the Scottish might either take some of Ontario‘s wolves to thin out some of their own surplus In any event the trouble at present in Scotland will be of interest here in view of the opposite difficulty in Onâ€" tario. In a recent issue The Weekly Sceotsman makes the following referâ€" ence to the matter:â€" deer, or else lend Ontario some of their surplus deer to overcome the ravages caused here by the wolves. Trenton Sunâ€"A professor says the respect children used to have for their parents fifty years ago is not in eviâ€" dence toâ€"day. Maybe it‘s because the old folks are so wild. port of a gamekeeper‘s gun stampeded six miles into the hills Last week they were again within a short distance of the village, and although gameâ€" keepers have been taking advantage of the opportunity to thin out the hinds it was possible to approach within thirâ€" ty yards of the herd without alarming them." "A full crew is working, operating three shifts. Fifteen men are employâ€" ed in cutting wood to carry operations through the summer months. A powâ€" er line right of way is cut a distance of 22 miles to connect with the main elecâ€" tric power supply, and it is expected that the property will be electrically equipped during the coming summer." "The assays to date show excellent values, and, as drifting proceeds, reguâ€" lar channel assays will be taken and published upon proving substantial ore bodies. "A drift is being driven north on the footwall to intersect a junction vein at a point about 180 feet north of the shaft. A test shaft was sunk on this vein to a depth of 79 feet, at a point 300 feet east of the main shaft. The vein at this point showed spectacular free gold to the full depth, and is over 7 feet in width. "During the drifting and crossâ€"cutâ€" ting on the 500â€"foot level to the east, excellent values were disclosed across a width of 74 feet. In the southwest drift a very heavily mineralized black vein was cut, showing a width of over 20 feet, giving high values in gold. This vein is of the same formation as enâ€" countered at 650 feet in the diamond drilling, where the core showed a width of 44 feet, with gold values of $92.60 per On Nov. 4, 1929, the development of the Canadian Champion Reef Mine, in West Shining Tree, was resumed after a few months‘ shutdown owing to lack of funds,. New financing was completâ€" ed in September, whereby the company has optioned its remaining treasury stock, 2,270,000 shares, for $372,000, which should be ample to complete deâ€" velopment to production. Good Results from Work at West Shining Tree There is a general belief among those in a position to know that the district south of Timmins holds a great future. This is one reason why the belt line of roads has been urged so persistently. It is felt that the completion of the road to Sudbury will open up much new mining country, provide transâ€" portation facilities for properties alâ€" ready under development and bind toâ€" gether the various camps of the North to mutual benefit Accordingly there will be more than passing interest in the recent report issued by W. F. Benâ€" nett, president of the Bennettâ€"Pacaud Mines, Ltd., which company is financâ€" ing theâ€"development of the Champion Reef Mines in West Shining Tree. This report says:â€" ‘"And it is worth while mentioning this same Powers. As a youth in Hailâ€" eybury nearly 20 years ago he made the most finished netâ€"guardian one would wish to see, but the war came along just when he was ready to step into senior ranks and Powers left for the battleâ€" fields of France. On his return he beâ€" came a prospector, and being far away from hockey rinks he abandoned the sport, but finally he moved into Iroâ€" quois Falls and acted as a relief man to several star goalkeepers before he eventually regained the form that was his so long ago. a few minutes later Lavigne staggered off with a deep cut over his eye. Wilâ€" son wasn‘t used much after the mishap, but Lavigne showed real "gameness," and the injury didn‘t seem to bother him to any extent. He is a good deâ€" fence man, and knows how and when to step into the puckâ€"carriers. "The crowd was smaller than expectâ€" ed, and as a result the contest lacked the interest that would otherwise have been shown. Paris had a large followâ€" ing present, but the Greenshirts gave their supporters little cause to grow enthusiastic except on those occasions when they got to close quarters only to find the veteran "Rip‘" Powers unbeatâ€" able in front of the Iroquois cage. Iroquois Falls ran into tough luck right at the start, when their star wing~â€" er, Wilson, who is claimed by the Deâ€" troit Cougars, injured his ankle, while "The Northerners were restricted to one ccunter in the opening period, Lavigne, the pudgy defence man, racâ€" ing through to shoot from close range, but in the second session the Eskimos got going nicely and ran in four goals, all the result of , combination. They didn‘t do so well in the final 20 minutes, however, the players showing lack of perfect condition. "There was nothing sensational about last night‘s game in which Iroquois Falls defeated Paris, O.H.A. Intermediâ€" ate champions, by 6 to 0, but the conâ€" test served to show that seniors in the North Country are still vastly superior to intermediates in Southern Ontario. The Eskimos, who had not played a game for almost a month, were slow to get started, but they didn‘t have to be at their best to beat the Greenshirts, the latter plainly showing the effects of the hard grind to date. M. J. Rodden, well known in hockey circles these many years Mr. Rodâ€" den‘s report follows:â€" There was great interest shown in Timmins last Thursday evening when the word reached here by radio that Iroquois Falls team, N.OHA. chamâ€" pilions had whitewashed Paris team, the O.H.A. Intermediate champions in the first of the two games in the playâ€" offs for the Ontario hockey honours. The decisive victory by the Iroquois Falls team was very popuiar here, hocâ€" key fans in this district all being anxiâ€" ous to see the Northern team go as far as possible in the South. There is so much interest in the success of the Iroquois Falls team in the south that The Advance is giving herewith the reâ€" port of the match with Paris last week as reported for The Toronto Globe by IROQUOIS FALLS BLANKED PARIS INTERMEDIATES 6â€"0 Northern Ontario Champions Pile Up Big Lead Against QO.HM.A. Interâ€" mediate Champions in First Game Last Week, THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO A letter received this week from H. A. Preston, at Matheson, says:â€" "Last issue of The Advance had an item about the weather and you stated that the weather of the last few weeks has learned the weather prophets a lesson and that they do not know anything about the weather till it arrives. Tell me:â€"What other weather prophet preâ€" dicted in August last that this winter would start about the middle of Novemâ€" ber, and that the winter would be a steady cold but lots of real fine days and sunshine, and after Feb. 20th, a change would come? March 1st and 2nd acted like a lion for a few hours all right, as I predicted. Does it look as if I wanted to make a guess when I even wrote letters in August predicting what I believed the winter would be H. A.

"Paris didn‘t have any outstanding stars in this particular game, but honâ€" ours, if any, went to Von Zuben, the hardâ€"working leftâ€"winger. Kempthorne wasn‘t as effective as usual in midâ€"ice and was plainly not at his best. Woods and Nickle did fairly well on the deâ€" fence, but they, too, were tired from the heavy grind of recent days." "In holding the Norttherners to one goal in the first 31 minutes of the struggle Paris accomplished a real feat and threw a scare into the Eskimo camp, but then the deluge started and before it finished Iroquois had regisâ€" tered four goals, Saunders got the first on a pass from Cybolski, Cybolski the next when he combined with Fahey, Wimperis the third, with Fahey getting another assist, while just before the intermission Wimperis took a pass from the active Saunders and beat Schneuker‘ with a terrific shot Two minutes after the final period got unâ€" der way Cyboliski and Chircoski comâ€" bined, the former scoring the sixth goal. nothing the matter with his pokeâ€" checking, and he also rendered valuâ€" able service on the attack. A short time ago Fahey was attacked by irate Cobalt players when ac:mg as referee and the players went unpunished, so he has decided to retire permanently as an official, but not as a player.

Factory, taxes extra The Lowest Priced 4.â€"Door Sedan in Canada WHIPPET SEDAN ©‘760 For several weeks in succession The Advance published some time ago reâ€" ferences to old coins held by readers. All the references appeared to be of much interest to reader and the severâ€" al articles on old coins were all apâ€" parently popular. It would appear that there is a widespread interest in old and rare coins, and also that a great many people up in this new country cherish old and rare coins as heirlooms or souvenirs. While many of those holding old or rare coins believed that the coins so held were of special value now, very few had any thought of sellâ€" ing the tokens. In most cases they were held as keepsakes or curiâ€" osities and there was no thought of disâ€" posing of them. In this category is a rare old coin shown to The Advance last week by Mrs. Keene. This coin is dated 1781 and so is among the genuâ€" ine old and rare coins referred to. It is a copper coin of the reign of George III. On the one side of the coin is enâ€" graved the word "Hibernia," with the date, 1781, and a representation of a harp. On the other side ist he profile of the reigning monarch of the time, with the Liatin inscription, "Georgius Rex." like. I have also predicted that if another gold mine like Hollinger, Lake Shore, Dome or McIntyre is found in Ontario that it is going to be not far from Timmins and somewhere in this part of Ontario where the greatest alâ€" ready are. For the past 24 years I have done more talking about a certain mine in Porcupine than any other man. I predicted the price would go from 45 cents to over one dollar a share and that I would have put $30,000 into it if I had the price. I have advised dozens to invest but they just smile and laugh. One man give me $400 at Schumacher to get him that much of the stock, and he was a young fellow working in the McIntyre. I got him the stock at 55 cents and less than a year passed and he got $1.25 a share. This same mine stock has been over $1.00 a share three times since I predicted it would go from 45 cents.| I yet predict it is going to be twice as good a mine as they think it is. It can be seen plainly from the station at Timmins. Before I close I‘ll make another guess and when the time arrives see if I am correct, and if I‘m not I‘ll go away back and sit down and shut up. My prediction is that the coming summer will be a good hot one with lots of real warm weather and less rain. This April 21st will see the snow gone."
