Hon. Chas.. McCrea, Minister of Mines. was greeted with. the singing of ‘I“or He‘s a Jolly Good Fellow." Hon. Mr. McCrea welcomed the distinguishâ€" ed visitors on their tour of the big mines of the North. He believed the visit would be of special value, tending as it would to the making known of the truth about the North. Here they would find little of the depression nStâ€" ed in other parts of the country. Here there was activity and faith and optimâ€" ism: The province of Ontario had produced . $450 000,000.00 in gold to date, and was just starting in this good work.. "I was never more optimistic than now for this province," said Mr. McCrea. The famous Preâ€"Cambrian shield of this part cf Ontario had the formation that makes it the mother, of j (Continued from Page One) see the country as it really was. with Aall its possibilitics waiting for deâ€" velopment.

Mr. McCrea reaffirmed his firm faith in the North where he had ‘lived for over thirty years. <The North Land has: given wealth enough in minerals alone: to pay for the T N. O. Railway tenâ€" times over, not to mention the other assets, such as timber, etc. Much was due to the capable, competent men Of, the North. The Minister of Mines. specially commended the North and its mining industry to the considera.tion of the visitors. , J.â€"P. Bickell was greeted with more singing of the old tfavourite ‘"For He‘s a Jolly Good Fellow.": He said that Hollinger and McIntyre, touching on the reward that had followed the faith, metals. The Minister "of: Mines gave due meed of praise to the prospectors who had opened the country and were continuing this good work. “We are not niggardly with our gold," said Mr. McCrea, adding that to our friends to the South and to our friends overseas» we offered privileges of sharing in the profits from the development of this storehouse | of nature. Mr. : McCrea made reference to the carly days of the minute of their visit with the good people of the North. He referred to the Preâ€"Cambrian shield and its signficance as proven by Cobalt, Porâ€" cupine, Kirkland Lake and the other camps of the North. Touching on the ecntinued faith and courage necessary to win through in this land, he instancâ€" ed the case of the Hollinger where a pit had been sunk at one time and then the prospector had lost courage and left the claims, later to be reâ€"staked by Alex Gilies and Benny Hollinger, and brought to suitable success by the undaunted faith of the Timmins Broâ€" thers. Mr. Bickell emphasized the great value to the North and the minâ€" ing industry of the truthful advertisâ€" ing of Hon. Chas. McCrea who never misses the cpportunity to spread the true gospel of mining and the North. Porcupine camp has paid out $92,000,â€" 000.00 in dividends, said Mr. Bickell, while Kirkland Lake has paid $44,000.â€" 000.00. Kirkland Lake toâ€"day, he said, is producing at a rate per acre Of ground that has no equal in the world. Mr. Bickell spoke of the remarkable assistance and coâ€"operation given in this North by labour. There were no labsur troubles in the Porcupine camp because all tried to work together for the general good, with friendliness and consideration for each other. In closâ€" ing, Mr. Bickell said he would be deâ€" lighted to give any of the MciIntyre shareholders any information about the company‘s affairs or the property. M. C. Brush made a clever and humâ€" orous address that won hearty applause and he kept the gathering in happy humour by his witty sallies. As a shareholder of the MclIntyre he paid compliment to President Bickell and General Manager Ennis for the success attained. He told a story in very effective way and then applied though Southern hospitality was justâ€" ly praised, it must be admitted that m was a Northern hnospitality, rich in sincerity and friendliness and he hoped the visitors would enjoy every The following day the visitors inâ€" spected the big mines of the district, visiting the Hollnger, McIntyre, Dome, Vipond, etc., and ‘being much impressâ€" ed with what they saw. Noranda Mines is maintaining alarge programme of mine development and exploration. Latest word from Rouyn is to the effect that work on the Chadâ€" bourne property has revealed a large body of commercial ore carrying fayâ€" ourable values in gcold. While no offiâ€" cial information has been forthcorhing regarding success met ~with in this hat. _ area, it is understocd that it will be dealt with fully in the annual revort and general meeting. Noranda is said to be stepping up gold production and is now on basis of approximately $10,â€" 000,000 per year, and also is maintainâ€" ing output of copper around the same level as last year. Recent improvement and enlargements to the Noranda plant it to prove beyond question that the right sort of organization behind any venture wil push through to sugcess. Jules R. Timmns told the story of the early days of the Hollinger mine, how it had been discovered by genuine prospectors who had made the Porâ€" cupine camp and its wealth available to the ccountry through their efforts. His story of the staking of the Hollinâ€" ger, MciIntyre and other mines was one of the outstanding features of interest in a very pleasant evening. The gathering dispersed after the singing of "Goed Save the King" and 6 Country ‘Tis of Thee." ater some of the visitors enjoyed curling games at the rink. From Timmins the visitors left for Kirkland Lake and Rouyn camps and also intended to visit Sudbury district before returning home.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO There was much of interest to the members at the meeting of Timmins branch, Canadian Legioh on Monday last. ‘There were presentation, lively and brisk discussions, a few nominaâ€" tions, and a discuss.on on points reâ€" garding the election of officers, and also a very informative address by Comrade Harry Wyse, the pension adâ€" justor for Northern Ontario. Comrade T. Parsons occupied the chair. Pension Adjustor for Northern Ontario Gives Details, Chief Jones Makes Notable Presentation to Timâ€" mins Branch of the Legion. Prior to the opening of the meeting proper, Chief Harry Jones, asked perâ€" mission to say a few words. This was granted and Comrade Jones took his stand beside a large covered object upâ€" on the table. He said he was very proud indeed to be associated with the Canadian Legion and wished in some manner to show that appreciation. He had therefore thought of this stand lamp, which could be used as a table lamp and as would be seen, it could also be used in the ceremony of the twoâ€"minutes silence, a feature never omitted from a Legion gathering. Comrade Jones then untied the wrapâ€" ping and disclosed a beautiful lamp stand, the lower half being covered with a lovely shade and the upper half in the shape of a memorial cross with the letters, "R.ILP." in each direction. The hall was then darkened, Comrade Jones pulled the cord and the cross beâ€" come illuminated and the usual Leâ€" gion homage to their fallen comrades reverently carried through. Comrade Parsons_in a few wellâ€"chosen words accepted this beautiful tribute on beâ€" half of the branch. Pension Act Fully Explained to Legion A brief discussion was carried on reâ€" garding relief cases and it was decided to let the matter stand as adopted by the executive committee. The case of Mr. Mansfiecld was again before the members arld after hearing a letter read from Reeve Mrs. Thomas, of Tisâ€" dale and having a short discussion upoh same, it was unanimously decided that a local doctor give this man a thorough examination to determine his fitness for work. A dependent‘s allowâ€" ance is awaiting this information. It was felt that the Legion could do nothâ€" ing more than this in the matter. Comrade Wyse took up the pension act as his topic and in a very able way showed how the government and the veterans had worked together in framâ€" ing an act which would ensure satisâ€" faction to all. He dealt with the gradâ€" ing of disabilities and the reasons for same. Time and again the informaâ€" tion given showed that the veterans were getting as good a break as anyone. Dealing with his own work Comrade Wyse showed how he has to build up a case for presentation, more especially in a first claim to pension. In a comâ€" muted pension his work was not quite so difficult. The members were given a thorough understanding of the varâ€" ious pensions payable; also the great work the Canadian Legion had done in securing these pensions. They were given an insight into the working of all branches of the Tribunals and the Veterans‘ Appeal Court. One new member was initiated into membership. Another brisk discussion took place over the byâ€"laws governing the elecâ€" tion of officers, but these were eventuâ€" ally ordered to stand as adopted last year. Nominations were handed in for executive officers, the following being the names Bellamy, F. Curtis and A. Neame. Space will not permit of giving a full of the address of Comrade H. Wyse, the pension adjustor for Norâ€" thern Ontario, but to those members who were unable to be present it can be said they missed a lot of valuable inâ€" formation. Comrade Wyse gave a short statisâ€" ical report of the work of the Service Bureau which included the large amount of work which he himself had accomplished in Northern Ontario. In closing he dealt briefly with the Canâ€" teen Funds, the Last Post Fund, and the War Veterans‘ Allowance. Past Pretsident Austin Neame in askâ€" ing for a hearty vote of thanks voiced the sentiments of all that the address was one of the best ever given to the Legion, and the information secured would be of great value. All could see the need of a Pension Adjustor for this part of Ontario, and Comrade H. Wyse, all would admit after hear‘ng his adâ€" dress that he would be hard to beat for the job The hearty applause given showed the approval of all. Comrade H. Wyse was called upon to present Past President A. Neame with his P.P. badge, a very beautiful emâ€" blem indeed. Past President A. Neame accepted same with a few very well chosen words. ' A social halfâ€"hour followed, and with the singing of the National Anthem the meeting came to a close. A new restaurant is to open in a few. days in Timmins and it promises to be one of the most upâ€"toâ€"date and enterâ€" prising in the North, It will be loâ€" cated in the Hamilton building, corner of Third,avenue and Cedar street, the premises now being fitted up and deâ€" corated for the purpose. The proprieâ€" tor of the new cafe is Peter GeQrgas, who has had a long and successful exâ€" perience in Toronto and other Canaâ€" dian and United States cities. The new cafe will be known as the Commoâ€" dore Restaurant, and it is expected to be one of the most upâ€"toâ€"date and modernly equipped ever opened in the North. Not only will there be super.or food and unusually good service, acâ€" cording to Mr. Georgas, but the equipâ€" ment and furnishings of the new resâ€" taurant will be something new and Commodore Cafe to Open in the Hamilton Building attractive. of the crimes reported. One of the games played was that of men posing as "telephone inspectors" and getting into likely looking residences by this means to size up the places with a view to robbing them later. Beveral residâ€" ences were visited in Sudbury by the fake telephotie inspector. In each case he wanted to visit the cellar on the pretence of secing the wiring. After the bogus inspector left householders found that bolts had been slipped back from windows and doors, keys were missing and there were other evidences to show that the purpose of the visit of this ‘"inspector" was to prepare for another sort of a visit later. The teleâ€" phone company did not have any inâ€" spector out, so the bogus inspector was eventually brought under suspicion. He did not keep up the game long enough to be caught, but he is still beâ€" ing watched for "night and day," as it were in Sudbury. Sudbury thinks it has been having a carnival of crime lately. Holdâ€"ups. burglaries, and "skin games" are some Fast Hockey Games at South Porcupine Fake Telephone Inspector Operation in Sudbury City The opening game of Junior hockey was played here on Friday last between South Porcupine and Timmins Juniors. These smart young teams, both of homeâ€"brew material made a very fayvâ€" ocurable impression. Most of the South Porcupine players are High ~School students and they are a credit to the training of Jim Fell and Johnny Cook who have taken them in hand, after Mr. Gordon Cross had organized the club, and are getting out a team that make hockey well worth seeing. Their game in Timmins on Monday night â€"has been commented on as one of the smartest of the season. The referee work of Billy Burns was particularly liked. Hockey fans should not miss the game on Thursday evening. Watch the youngsters engineer plays that could make their elders take notice. a neat grab for Lukon‘s pass when Renaud missed it and they made dangerous sally. Wilson made great stops off Kennedy and also off, Lukon who got his own rebound. The second Timmins line of Renaud, Kennedy and Ellies staged some wellâ€"combined plays in the second spasm but the home boys had them backâ€"checked to a frazâ€" zle. With only five minutes to go McCaffrey took the puck up; Lejambe came out to meet him and lost his footâ€" ing, so McCaffrey just fliipped the reâ€" bound in over hint for the only score of the game. The third period. was exâ€" citing hockey full of thrills but no score "Noisy" Clark acted as referee. Leâ€" jambe had 38 stops to make Wilson, 24.

Morin made Maurice, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs, Olter Frumkin, of Golden avenue, died at the Ontario hospital, Toronto, on Monday evening at five o‘clock. Earâ€" lier in the day a telegram had come telling them he was seriously ill and Mr. H. P. DePencier, resident direcâ€" tor and viceâ€"president of the Dome Mines, is now on his honeymoon in the Eastern States. Toronto papers carried accounts of the wedding which took place quietly in Owen Sound on Februâ€" as S 4 @8 C# 0 ary ist. Very sincere wishes for their hnappiness go to them from all residents of the Porcupine camp and they will be welcomed home here with genuine ;fadnws when they take up residence here after a month or so. One apcou_nt says:â€""Miss Norah Thomson, daughâ€" ter of Mrs. Thomson Inkerman Thomâ€" sor. of Owen Sound, was quietly marâ€" ried yesterday to Mr. Henry Percy Deâ€" Pencier, of South iPorcupine. . The ceremony was performed at the home cf the bride‘s mother by Rey. W. H. Dunbar, rector of t. George‘s Angliâ€" can Church, Owen Sound. â€" The bride, who was given in marriage by her broâ€" ther, Mr. T. W.

Her toque was of veiâ€" vet to match her gown, and she carried ) | been transferred to the other end and: deliberately sneaked up behind and. skated the feet from under Murphy. Great was the fall thereof when the tall defenceman went down, right on his back but greater still was the fall for Walsh in the minds of fans who had not classed him as that sort. Howâ€" ever Murphy did not bite for, the comeâ€". back as the Timmins player probably hoped he would but stayed on the ice with his team during the long siege. Massecar‘s proverbial ability to. get hooked by the enemy‘s teasing did not show up until the last moments of the ame. After playing a stellar game and holding his temper under steady: leash for cightyâ€"eight minutes, he let go and banged a Timmins man in the face, leaving his buddy alone on the ice to hold the fort. In the excitement to resist the mad onrush of Timmins Doran AaAlso was sent to prison. With ‘bated breath Porkies fans watched their teamâ€"two men shortâ€"ward off ‘the battling, snappy Timmins team unâ€" ‘til the final gong at midnight relievâ€" ed their suspense, and the record crowd of the season that had stayed right through surged out. We heard one fan from Timmins murmur:; ‘"Too much hockeyâ€"too much hockey for one fiftyâ€" cent piece." * ~ Burton held the game down with an Aron hand as referee. The teams lined up:â€" Church met at the home of Mrs. Mcâ€" Dowell on Tuesday afternoon and WAS well attended. Each member was to bring a new member. A dainty lunchâ€" eon was served. The ladies are holding a Valentine tea and sale of homeâ€"made cooking at Mrs. McDowell‘s next week.

In the next spasm Timmins were the aggressors the Porâ€" kies having to retreat back of their blue line and stand with their backs to the wall fighting off the ravening pack. Tremblay and Lamoreaux got through but Chevrier beat them off only to have Tremblay come back to get a counter. Nine minutes were gone but Johns again put his company in the lead by a neatly lifted shot from the blue line.

Hodnett let the first one in that came his way off Murray‘s stick in the openâ€" ing minute of play. This period was obviously Dome‘s, the Timmins players being backâ€"checked into their own door In the thira charge Porkies started out â€"with defensive tactics but Lortie‘s goal after six minutes of play made them realize they had to forage for more fodder for ‘their troops or. the battle would not be won. Into overtime waged the war, each team checking like demons, watching for breaks but the two goalies standing the {fusilade like veterans.
