Large Aeroplane Over Town During Past Week Friday last at noon the noise of a large motor was noted by many in town while at the midâ€"day meal. Some thought it must be a motor car having difficulty in starting and so did not trouble to go outside to see. . Those who were outdoors, however, noted a particularly large aeroplane fiying comâ€" paratively low over the town. It was much larger than the Ontario Forestry planes that sometimes pass over here. Another item that the watchers noted was that it flew low over the town, while the Forestry plane almost inâ€" variably is high in the air. Three or four weeks ago there were a couple of. Forestry Fanes (at least it was figured out that they were Forestry planes) passing over Timmins one day around noon and though their motors could be plainly heard it was only the sharp eyes of the school youngsters that could folâ€" low them in the sky. Also these planes were so high in the sky that every litâ€" tle while they would be hidden from view altogether by passing clouds. The aeroplane passing across the town on Friday, however, was plainly descernâ€" able, both by the fact of its size and the lowness at which it was fying. This aeroplane was a particularly large one and applarently was equipped with a regular cabin for passengers. It passed across the town, after doing Â¥ stunt or two in the air, and then went off in the direction of South Porcupine. There were many guesses as to iIts identity. Some were inclined to think that it was a Dominion plane and was ‘perhaps engaged in mapping the terriâ€" tory or taking aerial photographs. The lfat,ct that it was fiying so low was reâ€" ferred to as proof of this theory of ownership and purpose. It turned out, however, that it was only another of what are termed "the commercial pianes," and that it was engaged in 'taking up passengers for hire. It was landing on Porcupine Lake at south Poreupine and making flights from here. The charge for a flight is unâ€" derstood to have been $5.00 per passenâ€" ger, while the flight was for ten minâ€" lutes or so. The passengers were taken | from South Porcupine across country to ‘Timmins, given a good view of this town from the air and then returned to the starting point. According to reâ€" ports from South Porcupine large Inumber of passengers took opportunity for the flight to Timmins and return. The North Land has had frequent visits from planes of all kinds and sizes but the interest continues keen in them and an airship never passes over the town without rousing special interest and it is usually watched with keen attention until it is out of sight. It is a little over ten years ago now since Timmins was visited by the first 2aeroplane to come to this town. The Timmins Football Club for Labour Day, 1920, paid a noted pilot and stunt artist $1,000.00 to bring an aeroplane here as a special attraction for a day of sports in town. The attraction brought peoâ€" ple to town from all parts of the North ‘Land and the Football Club boys were well pleased with the feature. A numâ€" ber from the town and district had a filight in that aeroplane on Labour Day, "1920, the charge on that occasion being $15.00 per passenger for a flight that ‘lasted only between five and ten minâ€" utes. The aeroplane that was here last .F-riday was also bringing passengers over Timmins on Saturday. ANNUAL MEETING IROQUOIS FALLS AND ANSONVILLE C.A.S.

DEATH TOLL IN GERMAN MINE TRAGEDY REACHES OVER 250 The Anna II coal mine disaster of Germany, one of the worst in Gerâ€" many‘s history, took a death toll that had reached 255 last week and it was believed that a few more bodies would be found in the debrisâ€"filled labyrinths of the mine. The total includes 16 who have died in hospitals of injuries chargeable to the blast; the others were carried out laboriously by rescue squads which stumbled through choked shafts and over tons of debris. Because of the great number of dead, ‘the local cometery was proved too small and preparations were made to lay out a new burial ground hurriedly. In it, on Saturday morning, the dead miners were placed in common graves. The cause of the explosion is still a mystery, although the theory of fire damp is widely held. Communist speakers at a number of public msetings in the region toâ€"day energeilically attacked the Eschweller Mining Company, cwners of the mine. St. Catharines Standard:â€"With unâ€" emplcyment as it has been, this Ocâ€" tober weather has certainly proved very kind. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘Rouyn Pioneer Merchant | â€" _Passed Away Last Week The death cccurred last week of one of the pioneer merchants of Rouyn and ons who was known and respected in many sections of the North Land. W. O. Crawford was for a time a resident of Matheson and he was also known in other sections of the North. FProm Maâ€" theson he went to Rouyn where he was one of the very first in the merchandise business in that camp. Referring last week to the death of Mr. Crawford, The Northern News, in its Rouyn and Noranda section, said:â€" "A ploneer of Rouyn‘s early days passed along the great trail to beyond on Wednesday, when the death occurred in Youville Hospital of Wallace Oliver Crawford, merchant, in his fortyâ€"eighth year. "Long before the ribbons of steel carâ€" ried their iron horses into the coming copper camp, Mr. Crawford arrived. It was in December, 1925, that he made the diffcult trip from Cheminis over snow trails by foot to become one of the pioneers. * 44 4 BAAA JPE / 4 * ,[f..»_../._‘_f "Rouyn had only two stores when he arrived, and he decided to establish a little Business. He started a grocery and general store, which continued unâ€" til his demise. His first partner in this enterprise was Edgar Faulkenham. Early this year the partnership was dissolved and a new one started with William Simmers. "Mr. Crawford was born in Michiâ€" gan, but came to Canada as a child. For some time he kept a store in Walâ€" ham, Quebec, and was later employed at Twin Falls, where he contributed to the building of the vast power dam at this location. "His next stop was at Matheson, where he was connected with R. C. Miller, It was when the bright prosâ€" pects of Rouyn beckoned that he deâ€" serted Ontario for Quebec. "Service was conducted at the funâ€" eral parlours, Rouyn, by the Rev. G. C. McVitty of Noranda United Church, and the remains were entrained for Matheson on Thursday, where interâ€" ment took place on Saturday." "The late Mr. Crawford is mourned by four children, Mrs. Fred McCallum, Matheson, Miss Ida, at Monteith Acaâ€" demy, and two young children, Jean and Donald, at home. His wife preâ€" deceased him five years ago. A broâ€" ther, Jack, resides in Ottawa. "It was only a week ago that Mtr. Crawford complained of not feeling up to average, and early last week was reâ€" moved to the hospital. No alarm was felt for his safety and it was felt that he was suffering from passing ailâ€" ment. His death came as a shock to his many friends in Northern Ontario and Quebec.

Rickaby is of ithe Opinion That Vein Suggests Rich Strike. . Assays of Samâ€" ples Not Made Yet. When the recent gold find at Mataâ€" chewan centred interest in that area, Hon. Chas. McCrea, Minister of Minss, at once said that a Government geologâ€" ist would be sent in to the field at once and would make a report at the earliâ€" est possible moment. Hon. Mr. McCrea has been as good as his word and the result can not fail to be helpful to prosâ€" pectors and others interested. The reâ€" port of the Government geologist was made last week, and while Mr. Rickaby is naturally conservative in his sumâ€" mary of the field, in view of the fact that the report of the area was made before the results of the assays taken were known, it is still suggested that the indications point to a rich strike. H. C. Rickaby, Government geologisy, returned last week to Toronto after inâ€" specting the scene of the latest gold rush near the boundary between the townships of Bannockburn and Argyle in the Matachewan area. His report on the area is given out as follows:â€" "A vein‘"ofs. milky : quarta" from * 16 inches to two feet wide, is exposed in an cutcropping of rock in low ground. It has been shown for a length of 65 feet, but from the occurrence on the surface of float showing gold, it has a length of at least 400 feet. There is considerable free gold associated with telluride, and samples showing no visâ€" ible gold are said to have yielded high assays. The wall rock adjoining the vein is well mineralized with pyrite and carbonates and there are indications of a roughly pmrallel vein or a system of veins to the north. The country rock is chiefly andesite and basalt, cut by small granite dykes, presumably of Alâ€" | goman age, of which the porphyritic granite on the claim is an example. This dyke is approximately 40 feet wide l and strikes roughly east and west. "From the extensive area of favourâ€" able geology surrounding the discovery, it is not unreasongable to expect that extensions of this vein system, or other veins, may be found. Most of the townships of Hincks, Bannockburn and Argyle show this favourable geology. Though some snow has fallen there are many prospectors on the ground and claim staking is proceeding rapidly." A more detailed reptort will be preâ€" sented to the Department of Mines as soon as Mr. Rickaby completes his asâ€" say of the samples. That the prospecâ€" tors in Matachewan are on "good thing‘" is generally conceded, but furâ€" ther investigations will have to be made before the extent and quality of the deposits are known. "The surface indications are what prospectors often dream of but rarely find," said a mines department official. "There is every possibility of a rich strike by the look of things. Evidentâ€" ly the mining companies think so, for nearly all of them have representatives on the scene in addition to the many lone pprospectors who are looking out for themselves." DURBAN HIPPOPOTAMUS LIKE RENFREW MUDâ€"TURTLE Reference has been made on several occasions in The Advance to the mudâ€" turtle that left Renfrew some summers ago and by water and portage made its way to the North Land to live here in happiness and prosperity like so many other folks from Renfrew have done. There is a mention elsewhere in this issue to this mudâ€"turtle, whose exploits in this particular, are surely worthy of mention. There are people, of course, and especially in Renfrew, who doubt the story of the travels of this parâ€" ticular mudâ€"turtle and even ask to be shown the mudâ€"turtle.

Some time ago he left the haunts of his kind, north of Durban, and started to move southwards towards Cape town. Since then he has covered more than 350 miles as the crow flies, and probably abcout three times that distance as the hippo waddles. It is calculated that he should make his appearance at Cape Town at the present rate of progress by Christmas, 1931. His first public appearance was in a sugarâ€"cane field near Durban. He was snapped by a Press photographer, and returned the compliment by snapping back. That was two years ago. Since then his steady southwards march has never stopped. From Durban, when he made a thrilling appearance in the main street, he travelled to Sydenham. Here he bathed in the city‘s waterworks and visited a Trappist monastery. He apâ€" peared in the Umkomaas Valley, where the natives promptly turned him into a god. A lamb was sacrified to him, but Hubert is a vegetarian,. and showed his dislike in no uncertain way. Now he is near East London, having passed completely through Natal. The only grouse agaist Hubert is that he will choose vegetable gardens for nis lunchâ€" ing and dining rooms." That ought to settle everything! But there may be Renfrew folks who will insist on having the hippopotamus brought to Renfrew before they will believe the story. It is just too bad that nice people should be so suspiâ€" cious." Preâ€"Christmas Cruises to the Southern Isles This year the Cunard and Anchor Lines will not wait until Chris‘mas to offer cruises to the balmy isles of the West Indies Expanding their proâ€" gramme into the fall they will offer two cruises before Christmas which are expected to prove popular with travel wise Americans. First of the early cruises will be the 12â€"day Thanksgivâ€" ing cruise of the Franconia, the beauâ€" tifully equipped cruising Cunarder. Leaving New York November 18th, the Franconia will plow through the perâ€" petual springtime of the southern waâ€" ters stopping en route at Bermuda, which has the charm of a little bit of Old England transplanted to a warm sunny Cclimate. Then on to swanky Nassau, Eden of the Bahamas. The call at Havana will be the high point of the cruise as it is naturally of cruise to the West Indies. A twoâ€"day stay will permit of full enjoyment of all the many possibilities for having a good. time that the capital of Cuba presents. There will be the smart night clubs, peppy and amusing, the big Casino with its whirrling roulette wheels and the sunâ€"kissed waters at famed Mariâ€" anao Beach. Sports enthusiasts will have plenty of time to swing their clubs in several rounds of golf or to play some tennis before leaving. Exhibiâ€" tions of Jaiâ€"Alai which is reputed to be the fastest game in the world wil. be open to the American travellers. The second of the early cruises will also be made by the Franconia leaving December 2nd for a 16â€"day jaunt. This cruise has been planned to allow pasâ€" sengers to do their Christmas shopping in the colourfull bazaars of the Caribâ€" bean. In Havana the cruiseâ€"passenâ€" gers will browse along the Prado lookâ€" ing for some of the gorgeouslyâ€"coloured Spanish shawls, in Kingston there are handsome necklaces of native beads, silks in Nassau and "Panama" hats in Colon, all at very reasonable prices. The compficte itinerary of the Preâ€" Christmas Cruise of the Franconia will be New York, Portâ€"auâ€"Prince, Kingston Colon, Havana, Nassau and return to New York. One of the features of this Preâ€" Christmas cruise will be a series of six very attractive shore excursions offered to the passengers at low cost. As an example, at Colon an »allâ€"day trip across the Isthmus by train, Governâ€" ment boat and motors will be available. Ample time will he given to inspect the locks at Gatun and Pedro Miguel and a special trip on a Government boat will be provided through about ten miles of the most interesting part of the canal. CHILDREN AT PLAY AT NORTH BAY DISCOVER BODY OF BABY Some weeks ago the dead body of an infant child was discovered by a couple of boys in a parcel they took from the rear of the post office. The poor little baby‘s dead body had been sent through the mails addressed to a man supposed to receive his mail at Mattagami post ofiice. The man addressed however, could not be located, and the dead body was placed outside at the rear of the post office as the cdor from the parcel made it difficult to keep it inside. The postmaster thought the parcel might contain game or something of that sort and was holding it until such time as te could forward it to the dead letter lcâ€"ffice as unclaimed. In the meantime the two boys, thinking it might be toys or something else in which tney were interested, took the parce!l away, but on opening it they found the dead body lof the newâ€"born child. While playing 1 J few weeks is much to be deplored and no doubt the authorities will make every effort to bring those gullty to pinishment.
