Many : the visitors were on their first visit to the North Land, though they had been selling gold stocks for years. There were a number of oldâ€"timers of the North in the party, however, these included Homer L. Gibâ€" son, E. H. Bridger and others who were in the Porcupine in the very early days. ‘Thg visiting brokers paid a visit to the Hollinger, the McIntyre, the Dome, the Paymaster, the Cliftonâ€"Porâ€" cupine and other old and new properâ€" ties. They.â€"were very much impressed with what they saw in the camp. While in the North they also visited Troquois Falls to.see the great paperâ€"making plant there and the model town.

" This will be followed by crossâ€"cutting operations to reach the known zone of high mineralization. The main shaft has been put down to the 1000â€"ft level, which was the objecâ€" tive for the present, and efforts will be concentrated now on the other underâ€" ground devliopment work.

After lodge, the member‘s enjoyed what is termed an "Unknown Friend" party, The idea is for each member to draw a name at the beginning of the term, and to remember this friend by sending a card or small gift on birthday and other special occasion or if the member whose name is drawn should happen to be ill. Not until the end of ‘he term do the members know the iâ€" dentity of the "unknown friend" sendâ€" ing them tokens of friendship. At the end of the term each member brings a gift for their "unknown friend," and the names are then revealed. The weekly meeting of the Mountjoy United Y. iP.
