So successful and pleastung were similar classes here last year, that Dr. Goodâ€" Mr. Mills mads brief after dinner speeches, the firstâ€"named with probâ€" ably expected bad taste making a number of controversial statements reâ€" garding receipts and expenditures from the North Land. He was promptly called to time by Mr. Dan McEachren, of Cobalt, who pinned him to question whether or not he was quoting the carltal expenditures as current spendâ€" ings. The remiler hedged and as the luncheon was social affair, the matâ€" ter was of course promptly drepped. With the excepticocn of the Premier‘s ‘""break," ths luncheon was a very deâ€" lightful affair and the men from the North appreciated very much the hosâ€" pitality of the Lieutenantâ€"Governor." presentative gathering, about 38 muniâ€" cipalities of the North being representâ€" ed, including Timmins, South Poreuâ€" pine, Englehart, Cochrane, Iroquois Falls, New Liskeard, Haileybury, Coâ€" balt, North Bay, Sudbury, Sault Ste. Mary, Port Arthur, Fort William, Fort Francis, Kenora, etc. On the arrival of the guests they were received by His Honour the Lieutenantâ€"Governor and Mrs. Cockshutt, with Col. Fraser in attendance. Among those _ pwesent from Timmins were Dr. H. H. Moore, D. Ostrosser, T. F. King, W. S. Macâ€" pherson. Messrs Mac Lang, M.P.P., and Tom Magladery, MP.P., were alâ€" so among the invited guests. Premier Drury, Hon. Beniah Bowman, and Hon. Timmins At any rate more and more prospectors are ‘*‘drifting in by way of Matheson and Ramore to get in on this deal. "There is a regular rush of prospectors into the district east of Matheson, very extensive staking being done in the townships cf Munro, McCool, Guiâ€" berd and Michaud townships. This is due to reports of noteworthy placer gold finds. These finds are generally considered as very rich and as platiâ€" num values are also reporied in the gold values the interest is unusually keen. Details are all lacking up to the present, but the unoflicial story is to the effect that gold assays from claim south of Momzan Lake show from 40 to 90 cents in gold to the yard. ther more flowery stories mention case where the values ran three and four To many cof the prosâ€" pectors and others taking an interest and a part in the rush, placer gold is a new one. They are more accustomâ€" ed to looking for the gold in the ore. ‘There are a number of oldâ€"timers, however, who were in the Yukon or the placer fields in the US.A. or both. and who feel that "this is the life." In any event between 150 and 20° claims have been staked, about half the number being already recorded. A block of territory about seven miles long and two miles wide has beson practically all staked. The sand ridges, where the staking is taking place, extend about twenty miles and so the staking is likely to continue. There has always been a hope in the hearts of many in this part of the North that placer gold would be found here in condition and thkat would allow of this form of the "noor man‘s mining.‘ Particularly did this hope spring eternal in the breasts of men who had been in the Yukon and cther placer gold areas. Every once inâ€"a while there is a report of placer mining. Ten years ago the reâ€" port came from Munro township. In referring to the matter, The Advance at the time, had the following:â€" in Russia." Reference was made in this column last week to the dead bady of a youngâ€" ster found here, The Advance of March 8th, 1922 adding the following: "The post mortem examination of the infant child found in a parcel last ‘week alongside the T. N. O. Railâ€" l way tracks, near the boarding car, went |to show that the child was stillborn. The baby was a boy and a fAarticularâ€" ly fine healthy youngster, weighing about nine pounds and wellâ€"developed. i It would appear that the child had ldied through the lack of the proper skilled attention, and this view is supâ€" ported by the fact that a careful checkingâ€"up shows that none of the doctors or nurses in the district were called in attendance for this birth. The prolice are working very earnestly on the case, but are somewhat handiâ€" | capped by an apparent utter lack of all clues that woquld lead to any informa~ tion suggesting the parentage of the baby. The baby‘s body was enclosed in a pillow case from which the ena (possibly a laundry mark) had been cut, safety pins being used to hold the pillow case around the (bedy.

The options give the rights to prospect for minerals on the farms in question. In case minerals are found the proâ€" perty is purchased at the price menâ€" tioned in the option, the land remainâ€" ing in the ownership of the settler concerned. The syndicate purchases In this column during the past few months references have been numerous in regard to a plan for wholesale diaâ€"~ mond drilling, as it were, on the banks of the Mattagami in this immediate district, with the hope of finding one or more good mining properties. To pimople here it looked like a good gamâ€" ble. The Advance of March 8th, 19822, said:â€""Mr. Hugh Roberts and a staff of men are in town this week, and it is likely that the work of diamond drilling on the propertie recently cptioned along the Mattagami River will be commenced at an early date. Mr. Roberts represents Minneapolis inâ€" terests, and has secured options from be the T. N. 0. The "walking" beâ€" tween Timmins and Calk River isn‘t dons in the best of families, except on the T. N. O., especially in the winter time. At Chalk River the two foreigners tried riding the bumpors on the CPR. â€"When the train on which they were thus riding was about three miles out of Pembroke, Pazder was thrown off by the joiting of the car and the rest of the cars passed over him, mangling his body very badly. Supronovitch is in the hospital sufferâ€" ing from exposure. Uazder was marâ€" ried and his two children survive him win this year has an unusually large a‘tendance, includiry all classes of people interested in mining. Dr. Goodwin is also expected to favour the evening classes in mining at the public school with addresses during his stay here. His expert knowledge of minâ€" ing matters and his ability to pass on this knowledge will undoubtedly be of great value to mining men in district." Under the heading, "Foreigner on way from Timmins to Ottawa Killed," The Advance ten years ago sait:â€" "Sime weeks ago Peter Supronovitch and Itellimon Pazder met and formed a comradeship of sorts at Timmins, deâ€" ciding eventually to go travelling toâ€" gether. According to an Ottawa newsâ€" paper they walked from Timmins to Chalk River, but if so it would likely THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO a valued employee of the McIntyre Mine.

The Government geologists and mining exâ€" perts are waiting to be shown in reâ€" gard to the matter. They admit the possibility of rich placer fields; some of them are even inclined to consider placer gold a very likely probability. There is however, a general disposition to believe that the field can not be sized until considerable work has been done to prove it up. This will take time and energy and money.
