But the soundest plan may be wrecked through mistakes in ssme of its details. Care must be taken in the selection of thoske who go on the land. _ It is obvious "It would appear," says the commitâ€" tee‘s report, "that the men went north inbued with the idea that they could sit down in their cabins and did not have to work or worry about anything, or give thought to the expense they were to the taxpayers, and that the city would proâ€" vide more funds when the $600 contriâ€" buted was exhausted.

Through Toronto interests arrangeâ€" mients have been made for financing a further programme of work with Dr. T. L. Gledhill in charge. A shipment of mine machinery, it is learned, has arrived at la Reine, Que., enroute for the Teddy Bear Mines proâ€" perty in Holloaway and Harker townâ€" ships.

The machinery will be ‘taken: from the railâ€" way by scow across Abitibi Lake to dillabough Lan(Shg, which is three miles from the proprty.

Reports are current that a shaft may be started and some diaâ€" mond drilling done on the No. 2, or main vein from which values from $3 to $20 have been obtained in surface sampling. Further announcement with regard to finances is expected in a few :days. On the south shore â€" of Abitibi Lake near Teddy Bear River, a party of Porcupine prospectors has started a miniature staking rush and considerable activity is reported. McIntyre Porcupine is ‘continuing its exploration of the Grimstonâ€"Porcupine claims in Garrison teoewnship, and an option is reported on the Gardiner Guibard*claims. : The Northern News last week says:â€" "Haileybury.â€"On Tursday morning of last .week .Mrs. E.

There was a nugget found in the crop of a bird in Porcupine one time, but the hen had been shipped in here from the East. The local birds seemâ€"to ‘be immune to this gold nugget business. There used to be a lot of it around Sault Ste. Marie, but recently the wolf has taken the place of this sort of thing at the Sault. The Adâ€" vance expects every day now that a wolf will be killed near the Sault and it will be found that the dead wolf has a gold nugget in his crop, or, perhabs golfâ€"filled teeth from chewing the rock in . his. frenzy..

It was found that the moose was a particularly large. a.nd heavy specimen. It took fully forty minutes to extricate the carcass of the moose from the engine and clear up to resume the train‘s journey, . It was fortunate that the collision did not derail the train or any of the coaches. Some of the passengers believe that had the train been under full steam when the animal was hit the conseâ€" quences might have been serious. The cow moose had been accompanhied by her sixâ€"weeksâ€"old calf at the time of the tragedy. Passengers noted the calf making for the bush at the time of the collision and the cries of the calf could be heard from the woods during the time the train was halted at the scene of the accident, f _ Some of the passengers from the South who had never been in the North‘ before were spetially interested in the big cow moose that had met death by disputing the rightâ€"ofâ€"way of.
