FIRE AT SIOUX LOOKOUT DESTROY® BIG SAWMILL Last week fire destroyed the large sawmill owned by George L. Farlinger at Sioux Lookout. The loss, which is covered by insurance is estimated at around $150,000.00. The origin of the fire is not known, and before the alarm was given the blaze had a big spread. The fiames were fairly roaring through the big frame structure when the fireâ€" men arrived on the scene and practicalâ€" ly all the fireâ€"fignters could do was to centre their efforts on saving the lumâ€" ber piled near the mill.

Porcupine, Noranda, Croesus, in the Radius of Cook Mountain. No Greater Gold Mines in the World To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins Dear Sir:â€"To sit down in one‘s home or in a hotel parlor looking at a map of this North is a very easy thing to do, but if anyone wants to see the country itself all they need to do is come to Cook Mountain tower east of Ramore, Ont. There is a real good auâ€" to road to within one halif mile of the mountain, there is also a road right up to the top. Anyone going up the tower on a clear day can see one of the finest views in Ontario, because about eight thousand miles can be seen, and it is plastered with gold mines. Look west and you see the Porcupine Camp about fortyâ€"two miles away. Look east fifty miles and you can see the smoke pouring out of Noranda. Look south about twenty miles and there is Kirkland Lake. To the southwest is the new Mataâ€" chewan camp. Six miles straight north of Cocfk Mountain tower are the Croesus, the Blue Quartz and the Stewartâ€"Abate gold mines, and it was in these paris that the richest gold was found. When anyone interested in mining sees this huge area, they just want to stop and think to themselves if Hollinâ€" ger, McIntyre, Preston, Oakes and few more men could step into all the great gold mines. Take into consideraâ€" tion that one quarter of this area is exposed rock and the other threeâ€"quarâ€" ters is overburden. So, if there are alâ€" ready several of the world‘s greatesi gold mines where the rock is exposed, how many must there be where the rock is covered over, and how many more must there beleft where it is exâ€" posed. Canada is second in gold proâ€" duction and I feel that eventually she will be in first place. Anyway, look from Cook‘s tower will make anyone think Canada is heading for first place when there is to be seen what put her in second place. Why do some men think the Hollinâ€" ger was, and the Lake Shore is, the greatest mines on the continent, and tha there are no more like these two? Well, I believe there are mines in the area that are twice as good, but they may be covered over and deep, yet they must be somewhere. I don‘t believe that Harry Oakes or Ben Hollinger:â€"just staked the biggest body of gold in this North, and that something bigger will not be done yet. I believe that some day the Lake Shore Mine, compared to mines yet to be deâ€" veloped in this area, will look like the woodâ€"burning locomotive besides the presentâ€"day locomotives. Thirty years ago it sounded crazy to some pmsople to hear anyone predict gold mines up here a@a% ali. But they were found. And there were big ones that got bigger and were followed by others that were better. In my opinâ€" ion they will continue to get bigger and beottes. Anyone will be welcome to visit Cook Mountain tower on a clear day to see the greatest gold area on this continent, if not in the whole world. But they don‘t want to do any knocking or conâ€" demn the country, because they will be made to prove it, and that‘s one thing they cannot do because many great gold mines are just short distance away. OVERDRAFT NECESSARY FOR LIVING PURPOSES In the column "Grab Samples," The Northern Miner last week has the folâ€" lowing:â€" ness of things in general and overdrafts in particular. In the course of time the legal customer received a brief and rourteous note from the new broom, asking for an interview at the bank premises. He complied, appiared at the bank, introduced himself and was politely welcomed. After the preliminâ€" ary skirmishes the banker remarked in an offhand way, "Now, Mr. Blank, here is a statement of your account. I noâ€" tice in going over it for the past few vyears that it has been chronically overâ€" drawn. Of course there may have been good grounds for this condition in years past but the way things are now, well, something really should be done about it, don‘t you think?" The visitor at once assumed a horrified expression, "Don‘t tell me," â€"he begged, "that you want to disturb my overdraft! Why, I‘ve lived off the thing for the past ten yvears!" Huntingdon Gleaner:â€" Harbin has more holidays than any other city in the world. It has added two more, both Soviet. Lenin Day on January 21 was celebrated with much ritual. The anniversary of the death of the first Red Russians in Petrogad on Janugary 9, 1917, was Oobserved similarly. Every foreign shop in the city remained closed on both days, as the fear of a boycott was tos great to ignore. Harâ€" bin celebrates 1:l CTChinese holidays, Jaâ€" panese holidays and other foreign holiâ€" days. Even the fourth of July is celâ€" ebrated while the King of England‘s birthday is observed. Ramore, On Yours truly THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The Haielyburian last week says:â€" "Charles Brazeau, a street worker in the town of Cobalt, is in the hospital there with a broken back in a crilical condition as a result of his being struck by truck at 2.30 on Saturday afternoon. He was examining a manâ€" hole at the corner of Miller avenue and Galena street, near the Mining Corporâ€" ation mill on the Ferguson highway and was stooped over when the truck came from bshind. After being rushed to the hospital the injured man was attended by Dr. G. E. Case, of Cobalt, and Dr. J. A. H. Joyal of Haileybury, who agree that his condition is very serious. The truck, which belongs to the W. R. Lowery firm, was driven by Wm. Fraboni, who told the authorities that he did not see the man on the road. ‘ The driver was on his way to Temagami at the time and Brazeau, with the foreman of the streets, had just gone to the corner where the manâ€" hole is located. The lid had been reâ€" moved and the victim of the crash stooped over looking down into the opening when the truck struck him. There is a corner in the road at the place where the affair cccurred." Unusual Accident to Cobalt Man on Street KIRKLAND LAKE TO BUILD TWO NEW WARD SCHOOLS Kirkland Lake is undergoing the same conditions that obtained in Timmins fcor several years past and still obtain to some extent in regard to school acâ€" commodation. In the last year or two the lack of school accommodation here has been largely in regard to high school purposes. The public schools have not been inadequate, but it is likeâ€" ly that before long further public school spriice may be needed. At the present moment the trouble is to acâ€" commodate the pupils attending the high and technical schools. Timmins this year has to build another addition to the high and technical school. , At Kirkland Lake it is public school acâ€" commodation that is necessary. The rapid growth in the number of school children makes further accommodation necessary. The plan being adopted at Kirkland Lake is to build two new ward schools, one near the Chaputâ€"Hughes prop>rty and the other at the east end of the new townsite. The last census of school children at Kirkland Lake showed a total of nearly a thousand children under fifteen years .of age. There are about 230 births each year in Kirkland Lake these recent years. NEW LISKEARD EXPECTS PROGRESS THIS SUMMER The New Liskeard Speaker:last week says:â€""In this issue of The Speaker may be seen an advertisement calling for tenders for construction of the post office, New Liskeard, of which so much has been said during the past half year or more, The rublication of this anâ€" nounceoment will set at rest many rumâ€" curs which have passed around the community both before and since the recent Federal elections and at the same time definitely settle the question as to where th> new public building will be situated. The site will be at the cormer of Whitewood and Paget streets, northwest corner. The specifications call for a two storey building of brick and marble construction with a frontâ€" age on Whitewood avenue of 75 feet, 4 inches and on Paget street of 50 feet, 4 inches. There will be two entrances, one at each end of the building on Whitewood avenue, the east entrance being rounded and the approaches will be of marble. The second storey will be fitted up for some useful purposes of which we are uncertain at the presâ€" ent time. Entrances for mail and cther purposes will be at the rear of the building. According to the plans and specifications it is expected the building will be one of which the town will be justly proud. A new post office, a new skating arena and cement roads on our main streets will certainly make a wonâ€" erful improvement to the appearance of the town." Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"The story comes from the north of a hunter who shot a bear cub and was then menaced by the mother. The instinct to defend iis young is almost universal in the animal kingdom, but the impulse to destroy the young of others is perhaps most noticeable in humans, Dog That Lured the Wolves into the Bush Remarkable Story Via London, Engâ€" land and Toronto, About a Brave Dog in Seguin Falls, Ontario An old friend of The Advance and a former popular resident of Timâ€" mins and the North Land last week sent in the front page of "The Childâ€" ren‘s Newspaper," published at Lonâ€" don, England. On the margin of the page he has written:â€""Know you like wolf stories, so here‘s a sob one from an English kid"s newspaper." The story referred to is headed, "The Hero of Seguin Falls,"" though The Advance is not quite clear where Seguin Falls may be. Anyway if Seguin Falls for this it is some place and may yet be more widely known. There is a susâ€" picion that Seguin Falls may be an English translation of Sault Ste. Marie or the Cockney words for The Toronto Star. In any case here is the story as it appeared in The Children‘s Magaâ€" zine, with some of the headings left on :â€" One of the loveliest and saddest stori of a dog‘s devotion comes from Segu FPalls in Ontario. It is about Sport, part sheepdog and part hound, who was the dear friend and faithful guard of a trapper and woodsman named Andre Minett. Andre, with his wife and child, live on the edge of a clearing in the great forest. They are used to the loneliness of the clearing and the hard winter that sometimes drives hungry wolves out of the forest looking for food. They have hear them howling in the night, and have thought nothing of it, for their house was well barricaded and by day Sport was always on the watch. They knew that Sport was equal to driving any wolves away. Only last November they had watched him stand up to four lean and shaggy monsters and drive them tailâ€"down into the forâ€" est. There came a bright Spring day which Mr. and Mrs. Minett will always remember. Andre was working on the slope of a hill overlooking the forest, and could see quite plainly the little house in the clearing. He knew that his wife and their eighteenâ€"monthsâ€"old Billie were down there, and he was just about to leave work for the day and start for home when, glancing that way, he saw three wolves cross the clearing and make for the house. Andre did not feel anxious. Sport was there on guard. He leaned on his axe and waited for Sport to drive the enemy away. But Andre did not know that the bright Spring sunshine had tempted his wife to put Billie in his carriage outside the door, and he did not know that a few minutes before the wolves appeared Billie‘s mother had gone Off with a pail to the spring, which was 200 yards away, leaving Sport and Billie in the sunshine together. The Wolves Stand Their Ground So Andre calmly watched the gaunt wolves sidle up toward his house. He saw Sport step out toward them and stand stiffly like a boxer in a ring. "Good Old Sport," said the woodsâ€" man; "now for fun." ; But the wolves did not run away when Sport bared his fangs at them. Their tails were stiff, and they stood their ground. Sport made an odd movement, sideâ€"stepping, it seemed, and the wolf farthest away rushed at him. Sport darted to the other side and Andre, watching, saw that he had manoeuvered the wolves so that they had their backs to the house. Andre exclaimed to himself and stared harder. Sport running away! That was a queer game for the old hero to play. He watched the dark, secretive mass of trees, saw Sport apâ€" pear in a little clearing, turn round to see that the wolves were following him, and dart off again into the forest. Sport retreated before them, backâ€" ing across the clearing. When he came to the forest he turned and dashâ€" in. The wolves followed. As the four specks disappeared Andre started off on his threeâ€"quartersâ€"ofâ€" anâ€"hour walk home. He was pzerâ€" plexed, but he fully expected to see Sport run to meet him at the clearing. At home his wife and child were on the lookâ€"out. "Where is Sport?" callâ€" ed his wife, "Did he not come to meet you?" The trapper looked round into the dusky forest and shook his head. NowW he knew what had happened, and all the years of faithfulness and love their dog had given them came suddenly up before him. He told of what he had seen, and his wife explained that she had gone to the spring The mother held her child very tightly as she spoke. The waited and watched and searchâ€" ed the outskirts, but Sport never came home. He had thought it out and lured the wolves into the forest lest while one was attacking him another might seize the sleeping child. Sault Ste. Marie, famous for its wolves that will not bite and for its Lyons who will, is resptonsible for a new one in the way of tame wild animals. This is the way the tale goes:â€"‘"The pet deer of Joe Couture of Blind River the pride of the Algoma district, has met death in an unusual way. The deer was watching Joe paint a new home for his minks at the fur farm and, when his back was turned, it gobâ€" bled up the paint. Death soon followâ€" ed. The animal was found by Joe up the White River last year and became quite a pet. It was friendly with everyâ€" one, would eat chocolate bars and drink beer like an old toper."‘ ANOTHER STORY FROM THE QUEER LAND OF THE SAULT Remarkable Story from Ontario.
