THne PORCUPINE ADVANCE R. Cooper, shift boss at the Melnâ€" tyre, explained that the shaft in which the accident occurred was being sunk by contract. The plan followed was to drill, blast and then muck. There were no regular muckers. The block of wood that hit the deceased did not break the skin. His idea was that it must have fallen from behind the lagâ€" ging, probably jarred loose when the hoist bucket struck the stopâ€"block. Dan MeKinnon, a partner of the deceased, told how he was on one side of the bucket and Boomer on the other. The bucket was coming down ; he heard a noise; looked up and saw the block descending. The block of wood hit the deceased. He had no idea where it came from. (teo. Stingle‘s evid®ence was importâ€" ant. He gave as his opinion that the block of wood came from behind the lagging and that it had been jarred loose when the bucket hit the stopâ€" block. He had looked and there was a place on the second set where the block might have come from. He did not think it could have come from any place else.

There seemed to be a general opinion among the witnesSes that no earelessness was shown in this shaft. Witnesses told how the falling of pieces of rock, ete., was guarded aâ€" gwainst after each blasting. and the other methods used to ensure safety. The evidence seemed to show that the block of wood fell from behind the laggk@g at the second plates. As the work was all done under contract by the deceased and his partners it would be difficult 4o apportion blame if anyâ€" one were to blame. After retiring for a brief time the jury returned with a verdict of acciâ€" dental death, and with no suggestion of blame to anyone. | The verdict sugâ€" gested that the deceased came to his death by being hit on the head by a falling block of wood that had fracâ€" turgd his skull. The jury recommendâ€" ed that the greatest carefulness should Be exercised at all times in the mines to prevent such accidents. There is general regret at the unâ€" timely death of Dalton Boomer, who was wellâ€"known and popular in the Camp. A wife and children are left to mourn lhuis loss. The funeral took plsce on Sunday to South Poreupine cemetery and was largely attended. It was urder the auspices of the Miners‘ Union of vhich 1 member.

This creamery, which was erected by the Ontario Government, has a capaâ€" city of 8000 pounds, and it is looked @nvon as one of the factors that will assist in developing the dairy industry in the North Land.. In conjunction with the creamery, the Government is planning the further shipment of cows to the North Land. to be sold to the farmers at cost? As another evidence of the Ontario Government‘s interest in North Land agriculture and allied branches, it may be noted that at the New Liskeard demonstration farm a tractor has been installed, and this will be loaned to farmers in the disâ€" trict who desire to increase the acreâ€" age under eultivation.

HAILEYBURY‘S PART IN THE GREAT WAR The North Land has taken a noteâ€" worthy part in every patriotic activity during the war. The Poreupine Roll of Honor published in past weeks in The Advance is one proof of tlhns. t dn \ | Another interesting proof is gaven by The Haileyburian, which tabulates the fieures of Haileyburians killed in acâ€" tion, wounded, prisoners of war, ete. The Haileyburian says: â€"*‘Haileyâ€" bury, Can., has also done her part in the @reat war, and in comparison with the population of the older town in England has a very good record. Our boys have not been in the battle line long enough to win so many laurels, many have laid themselves down to sleep the long sleep amid the poppies of France and Flanders.

They will likely leave on Monday of next week, and it may be that some others from here may accompany them. The air service is one of the most helpful branches of war work, and men are needed for this department. It is only necessary to read the desâ€" patches to realize what an effective part the air service is playing in tlhus war. Men are required for officer piâ€" lots and for equipment officers for this service, and there is good opportumity for young men with good education especially those with some mechanical knowledge. To assist in the securing of suitable men the Aero Club of Canada is organizing local commitâ€" tees throughout the towns and cities of the country. G. A.

The reply, however, urges the Government Moving Picture man t come here in any case, as the visit will be well repaid in interesting inâ€" cidents and views. A Moving Picâ€" ture man can secure pictures here that would. be difficult to exeel for interest, information and attractiveness. Sucit views would give people down south a correct idea of what is already here in actuality and what may be here in prospect. For instance viows of the Hollinger mine by day and night, pieâ€" tures of the men coming *‘ off shift‘"" at the big mine, scenes in and around the Hollinger, the Melntyre. the Porâ€" «apine Crown, and other mines near ‘here, glimpses of the Mattagami showâ€" ing the many craft on the river, inâ€" cluding, perhaps, the Steamer Agnes with an exenursion party, a panorama of the big stores and publie buildings of the town, including the $40,000 brick school, the new depot, the churâ€" ches, the big rink, the Empire Theatre, ete..â€"these would be views well wortit taking, and. would give the pc(:p]c outside a better conception of what this country is and what it has than any views of public events or demonâ€" strations. In addition, the Tiummuins Band, resplendent in their new uniâ€" forms, would make another good pi¢â€" ture. â€"Also, the splendid fire brigade could be shown in action, and perhaps a picture like this might help a little in bringing down the insurance rates. ""If the Moving Picture Man wa@ts a crowd, ‘‘says the Mayor, ‘‘it wa@ts a crowd, *‘ says The MAYVOT, ° iL will be easy to provide that by sunply ringing the fire bell.
