It was known as egarly as 1896 there was gold in the neighborhcod of the Porcupine river, but it was only 13 years later that a group headed by Jack Wilson, discovered what was to beccme the Dom: mine. Returning to Haileybury to register their discovery, these prospectors met Benny Hollingsr and two of his friends and told them of their sucesss. Hollinger hastened towards the rich district, and staked his claim ¢n what was to become the Hollinzer mine. In coming years. Two Points of Interest He smiled, and the audience laughed, when he opened by saying there were twoa points of attraction in Northern Ontario receiving attention on the North American continent. "First there arseâ€" at the Callander hospital five baby girls named Dionne, who had the unique distinction of being born on the same day from the same mother. And there is also the mining industry." Mr. Leduc recently saw the Dionne quintuplets, and in a brief reference to them said they were beautiful babies, very much alive, and the most photoâ€" graphed babies in the world. Oniario is leading its eight sister provinces in the mining industry, he stated. Since the earlier extractions, minerals of a total vaiue of more than $2,000,000,000 have been obtained from mines of this province; if such wonderâ€" ful results were achieved in the past, it was easy to visualize what the mining production would ke tomorrow. Thouâ€" sands of square miles were awaiting deve‘opment. Aviation is now helping considerably for the discovery, the deâ€" velopment, and the exploitation Of mines.

Paul Leduc, K.C., Minister of Mines in the Hepburn Cabinet, declared Thursâ€" day when he spoke at the Chateau Laurier, under the auspices of L‘Inâ€" stitut Canadien Francais, at Ottawa, according to The Ottawa Journal.

Some valentines are highly ornamental and artistic (to use the soléemn words3s of one encyclopedia article), while sthers (commonly called comic valentines) are caricatures, designed to reflect on the personal appearance, habits, charâ€" acter, etc., of the persons to whom they are addressed. For some years it seemâ€" ed that the practice of sending valenâ€" tines by mail was decreasing year by year, but in recent ears there was a flurry in the sale of the comic valenâ€" tines, millions of these being sold on this continent, with Canada buying its share and a proportionate number beâ€" ing sold in Timmins. In the past few years the sale of the comic valentines has scarcely increased, but there has been an increase in the sale Oof the sriginal form of valentine, many very pleasing designs being available.
