Among those «present from out of town there was plenty of talent in this part of camp which. if properly organized could be used for various occasions in- stead of having to await the conveni- ences of out-of-bown orchestras. Mr. M. Foster was violinist. “Chick” Abram- aon played the guitar. and part of the time the traps. J. Bridges, 812, was on the saxOphone. Jackie Bridges, the traps, B.

For the dancing which followed there was a volunteer orchestra whose music added very much to the enjoy- ment of the evening and which proved the first part of the evening there was a. short programme. Mr. A. G. Bel- lamy of Tlmmins, pleased the gather- ing with his solo, “The Little Old Church in the Valley." Mrs. Bellamy One of the most. sociable evenings given in South Porcupine for a long time was the At Home and dance given by the Canadian Legion of this part of the camp in the Oddfellows’ hall on Thursday evening, February 4th. It was largely attended by people from the Dome and South Porcupine.

Allan Pearce, Jr., won the guest’s It may be noted in regard to this des- patch that the board of trade at Iro- quois Falls was formerly known as the "Iroquois Falls and District Board of Trade.“ If this name with its impli- cation of extent is still holding. then Ansonville will be part of the terri- tory. At the Associated Boards of Trade meeting here last week there were two representatives from Anson- ville. Messrs H. Fleming and Geo. H. Nadeau. and both took helpful part in the deliberations. If Iroquois Falls and Ansonville are separated( it is easy to understand that under present con- ditions Iqoqucis Falls will naturally have a dimcult time to keep its board of trade going. Iroquois Falls being a "company town." the board of trade did not have as many questions and problems as the ordinary tovm board but it must be said that the wide out- look of the Iroquois Falls and District Board of Trade for years was a notable service to the whole North. Outside the limits of the town the board did service that deserves grateful remem- brance. Anything that makes the Iro- quois Falls board less active is conse- quently a loss to this whole area . «e A despatch from Iroquois Falls last week sayszâ€"“Iroquois Falls Board of Trade will not be represented at the annual meeting of the Northern On- tario Associated Board to be held in Timmins this week, it was decided at the annual meeting of the local board held Friday evening in the Court House Only a handful of members. not enough to constitute a quorum, strug- gled through one of the worst nights of the Winter to date, to the meeting. The executive council was well repre- sented. however, and decided to pass on the question of whether or not the local board would continue afliliation with the Association body in spite of apparent lack of interest. probably due to the “depression." Following con- siderable discussion it was decided to pay the affiliation fee to the Northern Ontario Associated Board and to con- tinue as a member. although inactive-1y. for the time being." IROQUOIS FALLS BOARD OF OF TRADE MARKING TIME assistance in encouraging the develop- ment work. The Clear Lake Porcupine Syndicate, for instance, have a property in the southeast section of McArthur, and results from this property have been especially encouraging. At the present time the Clear Lake Porcupine Syndicate have a. diamond drill cam~ paign under way and a. number of men are at work on the property. Then, in addition, this section of road in McAr- thur is part of the roadway that would connect up Porcupine and the Sudbury camps. Eventually there will be a con- necting road ’between Timmins and Sudbury, passing through camp; like McArthur, Ma-tachewan, Elk Lake, Gowgand-a, Shiningtree, West Shining- tree, etc. In the meantime the parts of this road built or :being 'built, like the road from Elk Lake to Matachewan, and the strip down into M-cArthur are fully Justifylng their value and suggeSt the added value to the whole North by the completion of the road from the nickel camp to the gold camp.

Their successful development would mean not only one industry. but a number of new industries that would not conflict with other Canadian in- dustries but would supplement many lines of manufacture. The Syndicate also owns a gold pro- petty near the Siscoe and this will no doubt be heard from later, as it, is a prom! mg one. The Ruby Coal and Oil Syndicate is composed chiefly of North Bay men. E. E. Sheppard, well-known railway conductor is president; C. S. McGaug- hey is secretary; and M. Silverstone. treasurer. Toronto Globerâ€"A memorandum from the Association of Chambers of Commerce of the Irish Free State to British Chambers of Commerce con- tains this paragraph in large type: "This association requests the British Chambers of Commerce to inon-m the British public that every British pur- chase of Irish Free State produce in- creases the purchasing power of the Irish Free State for British gwds ‘ The Syndicate, as noted in The Ad- vance in previous issues has done con- siderable work on the property, with notable success. The extent of the de- posit is approximately one and a quar- ter miles in length and it has been drilled to a depth of 65 feet. so the amount of the clay iS'reasonably de- scribed as practically inexhaustible. The deposit is near the surface, much of it from six inches to two feet below the surface. The value of this fact will be apparent. There is also a large deposit of silica sand on the Syndicate’s property and as the use of this sand with the clay add to the value of the products in many lines. this is another advantage. The Department of Mines at Ottawa has analyzed and worked with the clays from the Missinaibi river deposits and they report on the samples as showing a very pure high-grade china clay with a. fusion point of cone 33, which shows that th€y rank with the world’s highest grade china clay. In referring to one sample. the Dept. of Mines at Ottawa, in the report of same says:â€"“This sample has the appear- ance of a high-grade china clay or kao- lin. It is quite smooth and has a clean- looking white colour. The percentage of coarse material obtained is consid- ered comparatively small. This proves that the percentage of impurities pre- sent is small. This clay is apparently of a very high grade. regarding it from the viewpoint of composition and re- fractorinesa.” The provincial Depart- ment of Mines also investigated the find and Dr. Dyer was enthusiastic in regard to the deposits. The articles displayed here this week included Rockingham ware and fire brick made up from the North Land clay by the Hamilton Pottery 00., Hamilton. Ontario, and art porcelain made for the Syndicate by the Ecanada Art Pottery 00., also of Hamilton. Both firms have commented on the superior quality of the clay and its ex- cellent behavior in the manufacturing process. While the manufactured articles were of very special interest because .hey were of North Land origin, the samples of the china clay from the company’s property was even more notable. One sample of unwashed clay, just as it came from the clay beds, seemed unusually white and free from impurities. Another sample of “wash- ;d" clay showed a particularly beauti- .‘ul article very fine and white. There are only two other deposits of china clay or kaolin in production to-day. One of these is in Czecho-Slovakia and Great Britain has the other. Accord- ;neg, the deposits north of Cochrane are likely to prove unusually valuable. In addition to the excellent grade of pure white clay, there is red clay, mot- tled clay and black clay. The red and black clay can be used for very high grades of fire bricks, terra cotta. ware of superior quality, vitrified tiling and all classes of manufacture where a high-grade clay is required aand col- our is not a factor. The white clay can be used for the manufacture of white vitrified wares, electric insulators, white wall tile, porcelain ware, table ware, and for the manufacture of ar- ticles that are now produced by English china clay, and as there is approxi- mately $4,500,000.00 worth of table ware and $25,000,00000 worth of other clay products imported into Canada each year, the value of these North Land clay deposits should be apparent. .1112! it is particularly interesting to know mat these were all made from North Land clay. In the display shown by Mr. Edel- stein there were fire bricks. art pottery. vitrified ware, china. white ware, wall tiling, bathroom equipment, table lamps and a hoot of other interesting pro- ducts. All looked exceptionally well deposits are on the Mlsslnalbl river. near the mouth of the BMW river, twenty-eight miles west of the termi- nus of the Spruce Falls Railroad and about forty-five miles from the T. 8:.
