Questioned as to his belicf or disâ€" bel‘sf of the contentions of Northernâ€" ers that the country beyond the Abitibi Canyon will s¢me Gday prove commrâ€" cially worthwhile as mineralâ€"bearing, Mr. Leduc said exploration the past four years indicated no such possibility. "I try to avoid speaking directly of the prosperity of the North and emâ€" ployment situation being better here than in South," said Mr. Leduc. "When sne montions these things, the South immediately thinks there are jobs in the Nonth for tneir unempl.oyâ€" ed.. No such condition exists. The North can supply all men nesded . in the mines." Awning Burned in Fire on Saturday "All there has been found so far," pointed cut Mr. Leduc, "are some limeâ€" stene deposits north of the canyon." During the course of the evening a radiogram was received from Lion Emâ€" ile Brunette, who left New York aboard The Queen Mary on Wednesday for a fiveâ€"week European trip. Mr. Jerry Tucker was a visitor. Try The Advance Want Advertisement Fisher explained, but since that time growth has been by leaps and bounds.

Once again firemen were called on Saturday night at 6.30 to extinguish a fire in an awning above the Bank of Nova Scotia in the Massey Block. Damage was estimated at $25.

Theore was no reason,. he felt why the producing mines should be exâ€" empted any more than any other inâ€" dustry. Rspeal of the exemption would mean five times more revenu» to the municipalities than they â€"would otherâ€" wise get. Ho felt certain that developâ€" ment would not be interfered with, and that nonâ€"producers would be exempt. Later he modified his resolution to apâ€" ply only to mines with production highâ€" er than $10,000. Following the ceremony, the Women‘s Auxiliary of the Legion served a banâ€" quet in the basement of the Presbyterâ€" ian Church, and in the evening a dance was bheld in the Masonic hall, with a record nttendancs.

No Solution is Found for Tax Problem Councillor Roberts of Timmins felt that it would be worth while to send another dele:ation, while Councillor Fairhurst of Tisdale recalled that that municipality had in earlier days spent $25,000 in legal fees fighting to tax the mines. It had gained enough to reâ€" cover its fees and an increase in reâ€" vnue over a period of 20 years, he said. W. G. Nixon, M.L.A., and Capt. Tom Mag‘adery also and the Mayor, Harry Wesks, accepted the memorial on bchalf of the town, and urged the «chool children to respect and reverâ€" ence the monument, and what it stood for. One of the speakers made the rémark that in the present crisis, the British Government should know where Canada stosd, and the roar of approyvâ€" al from the veterans, and the large crowd was sufficient answer.

Bent Unveils Englehart Memorial After some further discussion Mr. Bartleman‘s original motion was preâ€" sonted with an amendment excluding production up to $10,000, Reeve Evans seconding it. Mr. Carter urged that the resolution be dealt with at the next mesting. Mr. Barazor thought that such an important resolution, of which the deleâ€" gates had no knowledge prior to the meetinz, should be in the form of notice of motion. A very impressive service was conâ€" guceted by the local clergy, after which the president of the Englehart Legion, Ernest A. Smith, introduced Col. Bent who unveil>sd the memorial, and gave a splendid address. Mr. Bartleman announced that he would vote for the resolution. Mr. Roberts reminded his mayor that E> could ‘not so vote, as his delegates had instructed him otherwis2. Carter moved, with Mr. Rotondo as second2r, that the Bartleman reâ€" <olutton be dealt with at the next and that in the meantime the executive move to get action on the original plan of seeking reapportionâ€" ment of mines taxation.

Word was received on Saturday night that another pioneer of the North had passed away at noon that day, when a wire informed Mr. F. J. Hornby of the death ocf his uncle, Mr. Wllllam Hornby, of Toronto. The late Mr. Hornby had been in pcor health for the past two years. On Sunday, September 18th, he collapsed while at work, but on Friday and Satâ€" urday seemed to be gaining strength and was much more cheerful, but died suddenly at noon. The deceased came to Haileybury in the spring of 1904, and was in both gold rushes at Kirkland and the Porcupine. He left the north in 1910 to take up residence in Tororto, and for the past twentyâ€"seven years was an employ:e of the Lever Bros. firm in that city. He was fiftyâ€"three at the time of his desath. and the youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Hormnby, of Leicester, England. He is survived by his wife and a twentyâ€"twoâ€"yearâ€"old son.

Ladâ€" ders used:in the mines were sometimes damaged by rock fall after blasting. There was no way of detecting gas except by smell, which is sufficiently pungent to be noticed at once. There arr no gas detectors used in the mine and no regulations regarding time taken to clear out gas after exâ€" plosion. It is difficult to tell how long â€"socm:ztimes an hour must elapse, sometimes it will be blown out in a Jury Recommends Use of Gas Detectors in Mines â€"som:2times sometimes it few minutes. Testimony of the men who found Maki and Savage was taken, Mr. Pugsâ€" ley, underground captain and superinâ€" tondent, was crossâ€"examined by Inâ€" spector Weir. Mr. Austim Neame, superintendent of the mines rescue stations described an instrument for detectinz gas and ilâ€" lustrated a method by example of one. Other than this detector, canariecs (which are not practical in everyday use) are the only other method known for detecting this gas in quantity. In addressing the jury Coroner Tucker said: "The evidence in this case discloses that this death was acâ€" cidental, and there is no evidence of negligence on the part of the mine‘s officials or the mine company. It is quite clear, however, that no one should die froam carbon monoxide poisoning in any mine, the simple reason for knowledge that gas of this nature is present in varying quantities after each blasting operation. Deaths from carbon monoxide are in a different class from almost any other type of accidental death which occurs in mines, and which might be considered unavoidable risks peculiar to the hazardous industry. Loose rock, the presenc»e of which it might be imposible to detect is quite different. because there is rcognized means available for the detection of these cases. The method of dependingz on smell, stated today as the only methâ€" od of detecting the presence of this gas in dangerous quantitics is the one in use at present, and is one which deâ€" pends on the judgment of the indiviâ€" dual, and certainly not very reliable. The only question appears to be whethâ€" er the cost of providing the testing Later it was found that rock falling up>n the air line had kinked the hose, shutting off the air supply, this conâ€" tributing to the disaster. Asked if he heard air gaing through the hose used to clear gas out of the hole, he said he did. R. Maki, who was also gassed but was rescusciated, was prosent and gave evidence that he was workin: with Savage on graveyard shift on Thursâ€" day, that they blasted by electric fuse at about 20 minutes to 6 a.m., and then then started to go lup into the blasted area at 6.05 a.m. Smelling gas they started to come down, but were overâ€" come and fell, he was kept from falling far by a plank, and knew no more till the shaft thr result of the fall of 40 feet down the shaft, yet there was no indication of fracture, death symptoms were those of gas poisoning. mony In his forward to the jury the Corâ€" oner said that this death was not to be classed as unavoidableâ€"and not to be put in the same category as those deaths in mines caused by accidental fall of loase rockâ€"that death by monâ€" oxide gas poisoning should not happen if proper care be taken after explosion. son, Laforest, Hepburn, Briscoe, Kenâ€" nedy and Byerlay.

For forty minutes the jury deliberâ€" ated before bringzinz in the following verdict: "We, your jury, find that Robort Savâ€" age came to his death on Friday, Sept. 23rd, between 6 and 7 am. from the effects of carbon monoxide gas inhaled in the 1403 raise of the Paymaster Mine in the Township of Whitney. Death was accidental and no blame is attached to the mine company or ofâ€" ficials.
