The Chicken Stag held on March 8th was well attended by many comrades and supporters of the Legion. The bugle band made the rounds of the town and Schumacher in a truck, kindâ€" ly loaned by the Pioneer Stores. The buglers treated the patrons in the hall, with a grand march which was well rendered, up their return. . "Bingo." "The Football game" of "Chickens for Kickers" were quite busy the whole evening, and the other games were well patronized. The chickens were of the first order and many expressions of pleasure regarding the high quality of the birds were heard by satisâ€" fied â€" patrons.

We are proud to have these gentlemen with us, and our list of twenty will soon be full, in fact I hope to have it complete next week. many successful events for the Legion â€"The Secretaryâ€"Treasureh THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO | _ "Mr. Sinclair particularly stressed the | necessity of frequent inspection of hoisting ropes. The rope must be | shortened every six months to change | the position of the points of greatest | wear, he said, and sections of the rops | must be submitted to a reliable testing | laboratory for a breaking test. _ "A motionâ€"picture of the Turner Valâ€" ley oil field was shown through the "Discovery of important rich copper deposits in this district has resulted in 200 mineral claims having been staked in a comparatively small area in the last two years, and at least two groups have promising surface showings, Mr. Gunning said. "The district, from a mining viewâ€" point, is very accessible. Boats from Vancouver call at Englewood, in Beaver cove four times a day, and the journey can be made from Englewood into the copper district in one day. "The growth of the Gowganda silver area was the subject of a paper given by Angus Campbell, manager of the Castleâ€"Trethewey Mines. Although the market for silver was at its‘ worst, mine operating conditions in this district were better than ever, he said. "Progress in late years in narrowing the range of necessary risks in mining was outlined by D. C. Sinclair, chief inspector of mines for Ontario. With experience the Ontario mining regulaâ€" tions had been revised from time to time to protect the workmen, and a general revision of the Ontario Mining Act, based on careful survey of mining cperations, was at present in progress. Mr. Sinclair said. "Mr. Campbell retains much of his enthusiasm for the possibilities of the district, that is, in the long run, but not at present when the Chinese are knocking down the price of silver bars by their talk of going in for gold inâ€" stead of silver. The Hindu also gets some of the blame, for Inda came out a few days ago with,the announcement of a duty of 10 cents an ounce against silver. "Ontario‘s northland still has its silver, but in the lack of silver sige~â€" walks, it takes funds to explore and develop. In the meantime, China and India have knocked the price of silver down to around 50 cents an ounce, and until that situation rights itself and the price of silver soars once more, Mr. Campbell believes thas it will be just as well not to attempt further develâ€" opments." "Early prospecting for copper in the area surrounding Nimpkish Lake on northern Vancouver Island, was urged by H. C. Gunning yesterday at the annual convention of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy at the Royal York Hotel. The final item from Friday‘s Mail and Empire is as follows:â€" "That is part of the message which Angus Campbell ,manager of the Casâ€" tleâ€"Trethewey Silver Mine, has for the members of the Canadian Mining and Metallurgical Institute, now in session. "There was a time, back in the old days when Gowganda first became a spot on the silver map of the world, when miners and prospectors used to boeast that they could stride down the streets of Gowganda and thread upon veins of raw silver. But, according to Mr. Campbell, the silver sidewalk of Gowganda is nonâ€"existent, though it may have been a civic pride of the early days. "Gowganda, once known as the town of the silver sidewalks, has been shorn of much of its romantic glory, and part of that gets back to the fact that the modern Chinese want to trade in gold instead of in the silver coins which were the pride of their ancestors. "Of more than human sensitivity, the photoâ€"electric cell, known as the Westâ€" inghouse electric eye and manufacturâ€" ed by the Canadian Westinghouse Comâ€" pany, has many possibilities for appliâ€" cation in industry. Among those that have been tested are: the sorting of materials amaccording to colour, size, shape, etc.; counting items where mass production requires speed and where articles are too light to deflect a meâ€" chanical counter; controlling lights by turning on and off artificial lights deâ€" pending upon the intensity of natural light; detecting smoke for fire protecâ€" tion; recording smoke for saving coal; indicating position, e.g., safety devices indicating position of doors, such as elevators, or moving cars through danâ€" zerous places, or for scanning material." Another® item from the same paper on the same date relates to the effect of Chinese opinion on Gowganda silver, and reads as follows:â€" "But it wasn‘t just a childish interest in a toy. The fascination lay in the fact that the train ran only when a beam of light extending between two instruments was broken. A sign inâ€" vited the spectator to place his hand in the beam of light that played beâ€" tween two photoâ€"electric cells at the edge of the exhibit. And his reward was to see the little train spin upon its track. "Hundreds of prominent mining men and engineers attending the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metaullurgy convention gazed all day yesterday at the little engine pulling its empty cars around tiny steel track. "A toy train was perhaps the most interesting thing in the Royal York Hotel yesterday. Comments on the mining men of Canada and their convention at the Royal York last week in Toronto will be of general interest. One article from The Mail and Empire on FPriday last is as follows:â€"â€" Toy Train Holds Interest of Mining Men. Gowganda Affected _ by Chinese Attitude. Prospecting for Copper in B.C. OME GOMMENTS ON MINING GONVENTION IN TORONTO "Slow but Sure," under the direction of Comrades McMillan and Bellamy, was not in a very stragetic position, and so did not have the rush of business anticipated, but nevertheless, they did their bit and helped towards the sucâ€" cess. "Kicker‘s Delight" was not the reâ€" cordâ€"breaker as some thought, there eviâ€" dently being no kickers in the Legion. James Cowan in clown attire made a big hit in this game, assisted by Archie Pearce. When the little fellow took Jimmie‘s challenge to put the ball in for a chicken, no one was more surâ€" prised than Jimmie to see the ball go in. This was the only chicken won at this game, the Football Game netting a very good profit for the Relief Fund. A wordâ€" must be said about the work of the secretary of the Legion, Comâ€" rade A. E. Mortimer, who took in the courtesy of the Canadian Pacific Railâ€" way, to a large group of the delegates in the concert hall of the hotel during the afternoon. "The convention closes tonight folâ€" lowing the annual bangquet of the instiâ€" tute in the Royal York Hotel. ‘"The Merryâ€"goâ€"Round" proved to be fast and furious. the patrons having a long ride for their money. Comrades Curtis and Devine were the engineers and made things hum, when business was brisk. This booth took second place in the financial honours. ‘"Bingo" was the big favourite of the ecrocwd. This booth was in charge of Comrade Joe Ormston, assisted by Dave Maxwell and George Starling, a happy trio. sales "Golf Ball Game" under the superâ€" vision of the president, Austin Neame, was the medical profession‘s favourite game and created a great deal of fun. "The Army Card Game," in charge of Comrade Nippers and Keates, turnâ€" ed over a very good surplus and was kept busy all night, the game attractâ€" ing much attention. Credit is due to the entertainment committee as a whole for their untiring work in connection with the event and also to the executive members and other assistants.
