INSULATED FOR WINTER COMFORT B. J. Grenier, Representative 42 BANNERMAN AVENUE immins, Ontario ENQUIRE TODAY South Will Soon Sit Up and Take Notice of North Oldâ€"Timer Refers to Notable Growth of the North and Sees Still Greater Progress in the Near Future. Thinks Ottawa Board of Trade Made Bad Mistake in Leavmg Porcupine Out of Itmerary South Porcupine, Sept. 19th, 1938 To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins. Dear Editor: I have read about the Ottawa Board of Trade planning a trip to the North to see the country and the mines. The plan does not inâ€" clude the Porcupine, just like some others who pass up the Porcupine on their trips north. Well, I say let them go to it. The Porcupine won‘t miss them but I‘ll bet in the next two years they will be more anxious to visit Porâ€" cupire than any other mining camp, for we sure have the goods already and with lots of gold three miles north of Timmins and five miles north of Pamâ€" our and lots of it south a greater disâ€" tance, ard lots in betwesen the big mines. I am sure with all the diamond drilling now going on that the old Porcupine is shortly going to make the ward it was all silver talk. Some of those at Matheson and westward and eastward who were more enterested in gold than silver were the Monohan Bros.., the Boyds, the Abates, the Kenâ€" nedys, Gardners, and several others, and at Nighthawk Lake was our friend, Charles M. Auer, and at Porâ€" cupine was Wilson, Bannerman. ton, Geddes, Burns, Campbell, ard Rhault. Lorne Howey and some friends were the Lightning River prospsctors. When Porcupine was let loose, that resulted in Hollinger, Gillies, McIintyre and thousands of other names of men rushing to the new northern parts. This resulted in the discovery of Kirkâ€" land Lake, Rouyn, and the country has been gold booming ever sinct. When it started there was about one person in the area to every hundred there is toâ€"day and the place to start it has Ottawa and cther boards of trade sit | grown to be the biggest place and will Summer Yesterday Snow This Morning Snow this morning was the first of the monthâ€"harbinger of cold, dull days to come, the weatherman preâ€" dicts. Beginnirg at five o‘clock, flurâ€" ries continued until 9.30 this morning, bringing just a trace of the white crystalsâ€"but enough to tell Timmins that is not far ocff now. Monâ€" day was the first day of fall, the day on which the sun shines directly over the equator at noon, on its passage tC the southern hemisphere where, conâ€" versely, Monday was the first day of spring. _The thunderâ€"storm that accompanâ€" ied the 55â€"degree change in temperaâ€" ture was one of the most remarkable ssen here. Lightning was in brilliant huesâ€"bright purple predominating. It zigâ€"zagged down from the clouds to the earth in beautiful strings of light, but so far as could be learned this morning, did no damage. It was a fourâ€"hour display of nature‘s most sensational type, beginnirng at 3.45 and continuing until 7.45 in this district. Within about 12 hours the Porcuâ€" pine experienced the hottest weather of the month and the coldest weather of the month. Yesterday afternoon the mercury hit 85. Early this morning, it tcuched 30. up and think. Do they not yet know that it was Porcupine‘s discovery of Dome ard Scottish Ontario mines that started all this PROFPITABLE gold mining now going on. Thirty years ago the only place where one could find a crowd of men with faith in them that there were gold mines in the North was at what is now called Matheson, Ont. The nearest place south was Englehart and there southâ€" Thsn the northwest winds swept down out Oof the north, brirnging cold and snow to replace the midâ€"summer heat of yesterday.
