Just a piece at Hoyle and one other piece at Drinkwater Pit. Last winter they widened the Ferguson highway, cut the curves and hauled the | gravel. That‘s all, For this year, nothing but the highway. For the road in Dundonald township that the settlers have asked for through sevenâ€" teen years, do you think it is reasonable for the Government to refuse that road, because on that road lives a man with whom the party in power has been in conflict. Do you think the remaining settlers have to suffer and leave their farms to satisfy a little resentment. I will tell you that in no way I infer the character of Hon. Mr. Finlayson. I think he is a very intelligent man, gevoted "in corde" to the betterment of the North; but he is in an impossible pasition to do better, because of the manner his department is organized.

It will appear from Mr. Leury‘s letter he and his association are in close agreement with most of the policies ‘long advocated by The Advance for the betterment of the settlers and the adâ€" |vantage ‘of the country. There were three points, however, on which The Advance took issue with Mr. Leury‘s previous letter. Two of these points are well covered by the letter above. The other point is still suggested by Mr. Leuryâ€"that little was spent last year and nothing this year on settlers‘ roads. As a matter of fact over $140,â€" 000.00 was spent last year and this year to date on roads for settlers.

For the | betterment of the settlers and the adâ€" We are of the same idea regarding the roads for settlers and the Ferguson highway. Take a river into which drain many rivulets! If those rivulets dry out, the river will dry out himself. The Ferguson highway is the river; the setâ€" tlers‘ roads are the rivulets. For that reason we urge the Government to finâ€" ish that artery, but also to build setâ€" tlers‘ roads to feed that artery. We are not contrary to the suspension of the payment of the arrears due to the Govâ€" ernment by the lumber industry, but why tell the settlers:â€""You want the bonus; you will not get it. You want roads: there will be none for you. We have too much to look after the other industries to hear your recriminations." That is unfair. Our motto is:â€"Equaliâ€" ty for all, preference for none." And we want the Government to do the off the other,. The good intentions are necessary, but of what utility where there are no acts, The hell is full of gocd intentions. To obviate this situâ€" ation we have asked a division of the depariment; that would be just and reasonable for the settlers and would alleviate the burden of Hon. Mr. Finâ€" PROMPT AND EFFICIENT end this little argument I reiterate u the wish to see The Porcupine nce and the association working 11 i@r for the betterment of the setâ€" ind all of the North. A. Leury, Secretary The topography of the district is sufi‘lcient evidence to the trained eye of prospector and engineer ithat a search for mineral would be warrantâ€" ed. There is great irregularity of the rock surface due to faults, bluffs, and abrupt hills, which have been fractured, folded, twisted, and sheared by treâ€" mendous dynamic forces. There is a variety of intrusive rocks such as serpentine, dolomite, diabase, and porphyries; also, there are several iron sulphide and pyrrhotite dikes all through the district, some of them of great size and importance. The first staking was done practically in the same period with Porcupine, when the initial gold discoveries were made by those worthy oldâ€"time prosâ€" pectors, the late Bill Ogilvie, Nelson Hull, Harry Hewitt, J. St. Paul, Paul Chenoir, and others who faithfully beâ€" lieved in and served the dis:rict until their last moment on earth. They have left their stewardship to the present proneers, Joe Theriault, Martin Harkâ€" ness, Jack Spence, Hugh McEachren, Charlie Peterson, George B®Rimerman, and others, who have nursed the disâ€" trict up to the present date. McArthur and Bartiett townships again give signs of promise. This disâ€" trict, one of the prospecting fields adâ€" jacent to Porcupine, tends io respond to the careful work of its prospectors. Located directly south of Tisdale, beâ€" ing the third and fourth townships respectively, ithis district has, ever since the early days of Porcupine, held the unfailing esteem of prospectors and carrtal. A Northern prospector this week writes The Advance as follows:â€" Oldâ€"time Northern Prospector Writes Abcout McArthur and Bartlett Townships. Somz Promising Properties. Several groups of mining claims have been under option from time to time since 1912. Among others, the St. Paul, McEachren, and Hewitt claims, on the line between McArthur and Bartlett iiownships were optioned by the Nipisâ€" sing Mining Company in 1912 And iirt of the same property, known as the Hewitt Mining Company, financed by Taylor, Clergue, Walker, Currie, Stock,| McCart, and Calvert. This money has all been for roads for settlers. The Adâ€" I vance believes more should be spent, but it does not appear that the way to . secure money is to assert that nothing has been expended. The Advance be-l lieves that the local member, A. F.} Kenning, M.P.P., deserves much credit; for securing the appropriations for| settlers‘ roads, and that the Governâ€" ment also should receive appreciation | for what has been done in this riding. Surely, it is only fair and sensible while asking for more to acknowledge what' has been received. | Nearby Townships â€" Show Much Promise joy township work between the same date hkas totalled more than in Matheâ€" son township, and The Advance underâ€" stands that a further appropriation for Mountjoy is also to be made at an early date. Literally, thousands of dolâ€" lars have been expmnded in each of the following townships since Novemâ€" ber of last year:â€"Carr, Beat‘y, Maisonâ€" ville, Benoit, Playfair, Hislop, Bowman, THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO | â€"A large pyrrhotite dike carrying some ‘copper, nickel, and gold is iocated in ‘ Geikie township, near the boundary and 4â€"mile post be:ween Bartlett and Geikie townships. This property is owned by Mr. Joe Theriault and proâ€" fessional men of Timmins. Mr. Theriault‘s discovery appears to have the qualifications of a real "mine seed." It occurs in a dike consisting chiefly of red feldspar porphyry, perâ€" taining to amorphous, aquecâ€"igneous rock, perhaps of Archaean origin. The dike is of considerable enough width and length to assure large tonâ€" nage. The. strike is Nâ€"S, 30 degrees east of north, and the dip is deâ€" finitely ascertained as neither of the outside walls has been intercepted, alâ€" though at the point where ithe values have been encountered there seems to be the crest of an anticline which dips not less than about 25 degrees both ways. Highâ€"Grade Samples from Week‘s Run of the Press Lindsay Post:â€" As usual the oldâ€" timers will shake their heads at the disastrous airplane crash at Hamilton in which five people were killed, but it is to be hoped that they also remember the successful conclusion of the Postâ€" Gatty roundâ€"theâ€"world flight in nine days. Mr. Theriault, with the qualifications of a hard worker and an optimistic prospector, and with the financial assisâ€" xance of local men, Messrs Joe Berini and Frank Badeski, succeeded in findâ€" ing gold values in the red feldspar one of the most favourable of the goldâ€"bearing rocks, and the one from which millions in gold has been extracted in the Kirkland Lake camp, which camp lies less than fifty miles directly east from McArthur township. What aprhkars ito be the most imporâ€" tant discovery so far made in the disâ€" trict, and anywhere in the vicinity of the Porcupine camp, was made last spring on the south shore of Clear Lake, in the southeas:ern corner of McArâ€" thur township, by Mr. Joe Theriault. There are several other indicated ore depsosits through these townships that are worthy of preliminary surface deâ€" velopment work. Edmonton Journal: â€" There has been much talk of late about severe sentences. But what is to be thought of one that was passed on G. K. Chesterton the other day? He was put on trial at the London School of Economics on a charge of "perversely preferring the past to the present," found guilty and condemned to read every word that Edgar Wallace writes. North ‘Bay Nugget:â€" Apothecaries say a dram contains three scruples, but drys contend that if you take a dram you have no scruples. An important deposit of coppler, carâ€" rying some gold values, was discovered in the northern part of Bartlett <cownâ€" ship in 1929, by Messrs Harkness, Peterson, and Bannerman. This disâ€" covery has been examined by mining engineers, and good offers have been made to the owners. The Jack Spence property, which is of some importance, is in the southwest part of McArthur :ownship. This proâ€" perty was optioned by local people last winter. New Yorkers, and under the supervisâ€" icn of Mr. George Gray, was operated in 1927 and 1928. Thirdly, he states that the employâ€" ment agent does not xznow anead what kind of men he will require. It seems to me that the foreign element have a good idea anyway. On the other hand if what the secretaryâ€"treasurer says is correct, how can the employment agent Secondly, he states that there is an entire difference batween Canadian and Old Country mining. What Old Counâ€" try does he mean? Is it Poland? Is he talking about the Polish salt miner? We know for a fact that one of the offiâ€" cials of the Hollinger Mine some years ago went :o England to get Cornish miners out here. Firstly, he states that some exâ€"soldâ€" iers think that they and they alone have the right to work. Since when has the secretaryâ€"treasurer become a phrenologist? His only qualificatiOn as far as I know is as a track boss in a mine. On the other hand does he think these said exâ€"servicemen do not know that if they alone are allowed to work that the rest of the community have to live by fair or foul means on their earnings! make a statemem; to the following efâ€" fect:â€"*"There will be nothing doing, fellows, for two months." The secretaryâ€"treasurer goes on again in this strain:â€"What about the Engâ€" lishâ€"speaking person or exâ€"soldier who gets a job, and quits? Did the Englishâ€" speaking pffople or the exâ€"soldier know the word "Quit" during the last great conflict? Are you not an Englishâ€" speaking person yourself, Mr. Secreâ€" taryâ€"Treasurer? If so, your sympathy does not seem to lie in direction. According to your article, you speak of threats. I don‘t wonder about them. Are you one of the threatened? Dear Sir:â€"Will you please publish the following in your paprr. It is just a matter of a few comments on the article of the secretaryâ€"treasurer of the local branch of the Canadian Legion as appearing in your last issue. Those examples you set forward of the exâ€"soldiers who failed Legion, do you think you are upholding the prestige of Canada and Britain by publishing these in the puiblic press? Was there not one among the Twelve Disciples who was failure? But thank God the majority among «»the disciples, as well as the majority of the exâ€"servicemen also are good.
