On !Wednesd’ay he performed a postâ€"mortâ€" iem on a horse which had died form the disease, and took parts of a number cf organs back to Guelph with him.

He declared that only by digging vwwells, by building better stables ana kseping them cleaner can the settler hcse to prevent his horses from dying. sScme of the settlers protested that it eccst too much to dig a well, one man dsclared that his well cost him $600. If the investigaticn shows that the evridemic is an infection brought from the West it is probable that.an embargo ol all western horses may be asked, or at least, a quarantine before they are sold. Scmse of the farmers are talking serilously of getting rid of all t‘heir horses and using oxen. ‘"We have 2 car and do not need a driving horse," cr> of them said.

A. Robitaille, chairman of the police committee of the Cobalt town council, was fined $100 and costs, $116.â€" 30 in all, in police court at Cobalt some days ago. The provincial police laid the charge, which arose out of the sudâ€" appearance of Constable R. O. Stromberg coutside an Earle St. house on October 9, where a party was in cdone. Lcuis Zanin, another guest at the w2rty, which had been in progress for hours when the officer appeared at 230 a.m. said he had heard the conâ€" stable ask Robitaille where the man had gone who threw the battle away. Defendant also maintained he had been asked this question, but the officer said his reference was to the glass. The four other men present went back into the house, Constable Stromberg said. THEY ADMIT TO RAISING NUTS IN RENFREW TOWN _ Renfrew Mercuryâ€"A Renfrew dealer has butternuts for sale and in Kingston hickorynuts can be purchased. Here are two Canadian nuts which are no* only nutritious beyond the ordinary but in the matter of taste are in the front rank.

B; inâ€"cattle, of all infected |_ There is dispute as to the origing! of some cof the Porcupins and Kirkland Lake properties. At this ‘time there is little to be gained by arâ€" guing about these things. When the argument is over, everybody is back about where they started. The time to settle such disputes is before they realâ€" ly get started. Stories about Red Lake area and other areas are also more or less conflicting. For instance, The Adâ€" vance believes that Gus McManus may be considered the real father of Red Lake mining district, but there are others who think differently. To minâ€" imize the chances of similar dispute |abcut the new Matchawen gold area, The Advance is giving herewith the Istory of the original discoverer of the present notable discovery as told in his lown words. If this is not exact and |correct in every detail anyone has opâ€" | portunity to dispute it or amend it‘ now. {There is every reason to believe, howâ€" ever, that it is correct in every detail. | And so accordingly all should "hold |their peace forever." The story of PROSPECTOR‘S OWN STORY OF NEW MATACHEWANX AND Bort Ashley, ME., Original Di coverer of New Gold Ficid, Tells of Gold and Tellurides in Formation on Claims in Matachewan. and tArew lt AWRY. MY SECcOnd was a chunk of quartz and nyrite not a3 large as my fist. I threw away nearly oneâ€"quarter of the coarse sand that did not sereen easily, and which undsubtedly carried lots of coarse gold. I gave the pan a few shakes, poured off the first muddy water and was "amazed to see fine gold all across the ‘covo of the pun* I panned it down and got half a teaspoonful of coarse heavy gold. "I was alone when I made the find so I asked my partner, Bill Garvey, to come with me that day. We went to the vein and the first piece he broke off showed gold. This was coff the extreme north end of the vein. We broke off :ome nice gold and then went 400 feet north and in two minutes found fine gold and tellurides. "The vein strikes north and south, as does the fracturing in this area, and dips 50 to 60 degrees to the west. The wall rock is firely crystalline basalt, rather massive but well mineralized. The vein is of the banded quartz fisâ€" sure type, containing some well schisted and mineralized rock fragmnts, and has apparently been recpened several sure type, containing some well schisted and mineralized rock fragments, and has apparently been recopened several times and fresh quartz injected. Pyâ€" yits shows in nearly all quartz. This gsnerally means strength and depth, and the unusual amsunt of tellurides is anotner good feature. We have traced it for 400 fest, but it lies along the west slort» of the ridgs and most of the length is swamp covered. The northern exposure is simply »rcken down vein talus, but shows lots of gold. The southern exposure shows the footwall in place and as far as we rave dug to the west, about eight feet, we found nothing but quartz massts, slabs arnd stringers and rusty pyritized slabs anrnd stringers and rusty pyritized rock, negarly all showing gold and tol!â€" lurides. There is at least four or five fest cf vein, and I think maybe twice that much. Parts of the talus show schisted basalt and quartz stringers carrying gold and tellurides. "The intrusive rock is a porphyritic syenite, and the southern contact outâ€" crops a few feet north of the northern exposure of the vein. I think the vein cuts the porpfiyry. And then west of the ridge for 100 feet north to where it dips into the swamp all is porphyry. The vein should be in the swamp to the west. I think we have the footwall in sight. "This dyke or mass seems to be strikâ€" ing about north 70 degrees west, and dips vertical. The contact with the basalt is well schisted and mineralized. "Garvey panned some gold on anâ€" other claim which shows porphyry dykes and is on the north 70 degrees west strike of the porphyry. "We staked 18 claims more on the strike of the porphyry than the vein." The new discovery is within three and a half miles of a winter road, used some years ago in lumbering operations. It is only eight miles from the Northâ€" ern Ontario Power Corporation‘s power line to Porcupine, which roughly parâ€" allels the Montreal River in this secâ€" tion. It is approximately ten miles {from the river itself. Fort Matacheâ€" wan is an old Hudson‘s Bay post at the rapids on the river. Elk Lake is the nearest town, about 36 miles south of the fort, and is the point where claims in the townships of Elk Lake mining division are recorded. Claims staked in townships to the west of Hincks will have to be recorded in Sudbury, as they are in the Sudbury mining divisâ€" ion, which carries over from the West Shining Tree area. The pbssibility of establishing the nucleus of a new camp, if showings justify the venture, before winter sets in are excelient.

The men in town are stranded here, with no money, no work and no prospect of work and something will have to be done. That the mayor and the council are aware of the gravity of the situation is evincâ€" ed by the fact that a special meeting of the town council will :be called to deal with it. That the Dominion and Proâ€" vincial Governments will have to Go ccmething in the matter is evident, as thse town of Cochrane is in no position to take care of so many unemployed.
