South Porcupine. Sept. 24th, 1930. Special to The Advance. The electrical storm of Friday last seemed to centre around Matheson. One corner of the roof of the Mathe~ son Presbyterian hospital was struck by lightning and partly torn off. The electricity seemed to pass down the chimney doing no further damage there. In the other end of the town. however. it struck the aerial of the home of Mrs. W. Burnett and burned it in two outside the house then travel- ling inside burned the curtains. Mrs. Burnette. who was ill in bed in the room at the time was dazed by the shock. Workmen at a gravel pit some distance away saw the smoke issuing from the house and rushed over in time to pre- vent any more serious damage. Mrs. Burnett was badly upset by the occur- rence. Hospital at Matheson Hit by Lightning Friday The following statement in the report of superintendent E. B. Knapp, along with his indication of better ore values at lower levels on the No. 2 vein system indicate the possibility of a return to $15 ore values with lower costs, which should leave for the current year a higher profit per ton: The average recovery per ton of ore milled works out to $11,920 and the re- port places costs per ton at $6.944, leav- ing a per ton profit of $4.976. Aver- age recoveries have dropped from $24 per ton in 1919 to $15 last previous year and the above amount, $11,920 for the year under review. Dividends during the last year of $2,600,000 brought total disbursements by the company since 1918 up to $9,â€" 420.000. In an accompanying statement to shareholders. President Harry Oakes. remarks that more ore was found ad- jacent to the main vein systems than was formerly indicated, extraction of this ore to advantage having required careful work. The end of the fiscal year saw a two-year construction pro- gramme all but completed and paid for, including new crushers and loco- motives underground, with surface imâ€" provements including mill, crusher house, refinery, Shaft house, power equipment. shops offices, dwellings, and transportation "improvements, all at an expense of nearly $2,000.000. ' New work on levels from 1,800 to 2,200 feet on No. 2 vein continues to show satisfactory results, “with values perhaps somewhat better than any cor- responding section abovei” Additional levels are now being opened up from No. 2 shaft below the 2,200-foot level. 094.75. Liabilities include accounts payable. taxes, salaries, etc, $575,687.71, capital stock, $1,332,203. Profit and loss account reveals that bullion production for the year totalled $6,576,780, exchange and interest having added $71,365,83 to income. Expenses included operating costs of $2,690,372.10 with administrative costs at $46,573.50, plus taxes of $271,746.13 and deprecia- tion write-offs of $510,469.31, leaving profit of $3,128,985.24 as above. ties valued at $1,031,631.62.

Evidence was that Sims had just started speaking when he was arrest- ed by city police. and that his place on the speaker’s box was taken by Vaara, Steln‘berg and Belinsky in rapid suc- cession. none of them being allowed to say more than the opening words of their speeches. J. L. Cohen, of Toronto, counsel for the accused, made continual Objections to crown evidence, and contended that there was not mfflcient evidence to justify conviction. In district court at Sudbury on Sat- urday Last Charles Sims, Car] Stein- berg. Arvo Vaara and Joe Belinsky. charged under the criminal code with unlawful assembly following a com- munist gathering at the corner of ..Grey and Station streets on the evening of August 31, were acquitted by Judge Proulx. Opposition is expected to deveIOp for government candidates in at least two of the seatsâ€"South Waterloo and Nipissing. with the closest contest ex- pected in the latter. The Conservatives have not yet an~ nounced their candidates for the four vacant seats. Premier G. Howard Ferguson an- nounced he would sail from Quebec to .ngland next Sunday or Monday. The duration of his stay in England is un- certain but it is undeistood he will 1e- turn in ample time for the opening for the next session of legislature. Pre- mier Ferguson will oflicially open the new Ontario house while in London. Hon. George S. Henry, Minister of Highways, will be acting premier dur- ing his absence. COMMUNIST SPEAKERS ARE ACQUITTED BY JUDGE PROULX The constituencies of South Lanark and South Perth were made vacant by the deaths of Egerton R. Stedman and Albert A. Colquhoun, the respective members. Nomination day is set for October 18. This was announced at the close of the first meeting of the reorganized cabinet. The new cabinet ministers who will return to their constituencies for re- election are: Hon. T. L. Kennedy. Peel; Hon. J. M. Robb. Algo-ma; Hon. Leopold Macaulay. South York; Hon. W. G. Martin, Brantford, and Hon. E. A. Dunlop, North Renfrew. The last named, although previously a member of the cabinet without portfolio must seek re-election because he has ac- cepted a position of emolument under the crown. The vacant seats are in South Wa- terloo, Ni'pissing, South Perth and South Lanark. Karl Homuth and Harry Morel. who sat for South Waterloo and Nip'ssing respectively, resigned to contest seats in the Federal election. Both were de- feated. Announcement, from Toronto is to the efl‘ect that nine by-elections. made necessary by the elevation of five mem- bers to the Ontario Cabinet and by the resignation or deaths in the case of four others, v'vlll be held October 29. - TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY", SEPTEMBER 25th, 1930 xpert criticism of the Cana- dian Pacific's new 26,000-ton liner, “Empress of Japan". is de- picted in the above picture, which shows two British blue jackets gazing at the graceful trans- Pacific greyhound. lying at her berth in Vancouver, BC. The new At the spring assizes for this dis- trict held at Cochrane some months ago with Mr. Justice Garmw presiding, there were no criminal Tcases to be heard and so it was possible to present the judge with the proverbial pair or white gloves as a token after the old fashion in such cases of freedom from criminal cases to be (bewildered. This was an unuual and pleasing circum- stance, and now it appears that it is likely to be repeated for the fall assizes opening at Cochmne on October 7th. For the fall assizes so far as known at present there will be no criminal cases. Thus for the second time this year the assizes will be concerned only with civil cases. It is understood that even the civil cases will form only a light docket in comparison with other courts ant: years. This desirable state of aflairs, however, is not to be taken to mean the entire absence of criminality in the district, any more than the number of cases in some other years should be taken to mean that there is any special criminality in the area. The fact, of course, is that the other courts have handled a number of criminal cases in the district during the past few months. There is. however. a lack of any con- siderable number of serious criminal cases to be dealt with in this district and this fact may well be viewed with genuine pleasure by all.

The United Church at Connaugh: was filled with an appreciative audience cn Sunday evening. the special attrac- ‘ ticn being the visit to that town of the Schumacher Male Choir. This choir is gaining a steadily increasing reputa- . tisn, and it is not too much to say tha: all at Connaught were delighted with the excellent vocal music presented on Sunday by this very gifted musical grcup. ‘ I The programme at Connaught on I Sunday included the followings» hymn. “All Hail the Power of Jesus‘ Name." by the choir; introductory re- marks. by Mr. Arthur Carveth; part- song. “The Song of the Jolly Roger,” by the choir; solo. “Love is Mine.” by EMr. T. Williams; quartette, “Give Me Thy Heart,” by Messrs C. Roberts. W. H. Thompson, N. Glanville and J. H. Skel- ly; duet, “The Old Rugged Cross,” by Messrs J. Jago and J. M. Docking; xpart-song, “The Comrades’ Song of lHope,” by the choir; solo. "Wait Her, iAngels.” by Mr. C. Robert-s; quartette, l"Wandering Down.” Messrs J. Jago, J. M. Docking. R. Bawden and P. Thoms; partâ€"song, “The Newquay Fisherman‘s lSeng," by the choir; solo, “Thanks be to God," by Mr. J. H. Skelly; part-song, !"01d Black Joe,” by m: chair; solo, i“A_rise. 0, Sun,” by Mr. J. Jago; res marks by Rev. Arthur Jackson, new pastor of the Connaught United Church; part-song, “The Martyrs of the Arena,” by the choir; doxology. The address by Rev. Mr. Jackson made a very favourable impression and all were well pleased with the new pas- tor. I l l Harvest thanksgiving services will be held in St. Matthew’s Church next Sunday, Sept; 28th. Holy Commun- ion will be celebrated at 8.30 am. At the 11 o'clock service the sermon will be preached by the Rev. Canon Simp- son, of Calgary. The rector will preach in the evening. The offertory anthems will be “Fair waved the golden corn," and “Praise ye the Father." The Dominion government will be asked to restrict the activities of white trappers who are making it almost im- possible for Indian to eke out an exis- tence in Northern Ontario and Mani- toba. Representations are to be made to Hon. T. G. Murphy, Minister of Indian Affairs, by the Church of Engâ€" land in Canada as a result of protests being made before the board of man- agement of the missionary society of the church. Outstanding numbers by the choir on Sunday evening that proved espe- cially popular included “The Comradc’s Song of Hope,” (unaccompanied), and “The Martyrs of the Arena.” The quartette, “Wandering Down,” was also considered as exceptionally good. Arrangements have been made for the Schumacher Male Choir to present the musical portion of the harves; home services at South Porcupine Unit- ed Church on the evening of Sunday, Oct. 5th, and it also expected that a date will shortly be fixed for them to give a concert in the United Church at Timmins.

Mr. George Brewtnal. of Third street, i Ansonville, always has a garden that is outstanding in that part of the coun- try. This year one of the features ofI his garden is a row of sunflowers in the backgrmmd. the like of which we have never seen in this country before. They range from ten to twelve feet in . height. One of the leaves measured exenteen inches by seventeen inches. On of the large flower heads measured eighteen inches across. Another had broken off by its own weight. The cir- cumference of some of the stalks stretched the tape to seven and a half inches. These plants were grown out- side in a rich well-cultivated soil and show the exceptional rate of growth in this North Land in spite of our short seasons. Remarkable Sunflowers Growing at Ansonville South Porcupine. Sept Special to The Advance. Dear Sirzâ€"Are we going to spend large sums of money building roads - that will be of benefit to one thing only, I and that is the automobile. and are we going to forget everything else? Any~ one who will use their head and think ought to know that the best route by far for the proposed Trans-Canada highway is by way of the Ferguson highway and west to Hearst. What {benefit will it. be to build roads 150 .miles through rock country only? It i might give employment during the con- ? struction work, but after it. is complete ?how much will it give unless there be some more Domes, McIntyres or Hol- lingers or Lake Shores along it? 11‘ , any road is to be built north from the ' Sault highway, it certainly ought to be from Sudbury to Timmins. because this *route is already three-quarters of the .way now, and has the best chances of :big mines being found along it than other, and besides it has just as fine scenery as anywhere in Ontario. and near it can be seen the highest moun- tains in Ontario. Also east and west of the Ferguson highway there must. be 'lots of great gold mines to be found. because here is where Ontario’s great- est ones are. There are, of course, peo- ple who think there are better mines one thousand miles away, yet in the last ten years there has not been a single big one found in any of these distant fields. I am sure if the money had been spent here where gold mining was ifirst made profitable there would be four or five other great gold mines de- veloped, and it looks the same with everything else. The T. N. O. and Ithe CPR. have been built and thous- ands of settlers have made their homes . along them, and now certain ones want to start diverting business away from them, and that is one reasonuwhy we see so many vacant farms. I would like to ask the auto owners and those [who think of nothing but roads for [autos what the roads or the aTitos . would amount to if there were no far- mers. The farmer is far on top of ;everything else, because it is he who grows the food to keep us alive, so don’t forget him when roads are to be built for autos or for others. Therefore, , making the Ferguson highway to Coch- ‘rane and thence west a part of the Trans-Canada highway will benefit the greatest farming area in Northern Ontario, also the greatest mining area. It will further swell the freight busi- ness of our two government-owned railways, instead of decreasing it. Along the Ferguson highway route for the Trans-Canada highway are dozens of schools where children attend and some walk miles to attend such schools, and yet there are some other routes proposed that have not a single school along them. On the Ferguson highway route of the proposed Trans-Canada highway we have the greatest paper mills and the largest rivers in the North Land and James Bay near us. where thousands who are now idle will be able to get work when the T. N. 0. gets there and the fishing and other industries begin to develop. It should be noted that there is much more day- 1 light in summer in the area from Coch- j rane to Hearst than there is 1550 miles south and every few miles is a village or large town where tourists can stop over night or get what they wish. I would be pleased to get an answer if anyone can show me a better route for the proposed Trans-Canada highway than the use of the Ferguson highway to Cochrane and on to Hearst and far- ther west.
