EMBERSHIP GROW!ING IN PORCUPINE NAVY LEAGUE is a basoball The euchre and dance given by Timmins L.O.L. on the evening of Friâ€" day, July 12th, proved an enjoyable and successful event in every way. About 50 couples were present and all report a very pleasant evening. (‘I have been at a lot of them in the horth Land,"‘ said one man, ‘‘but I think this was the best party I ever attend- @ ed.‘‘ In the Euchre, Mr. M. A. Ellis won the first prize for gentlemen, and Mrs. Martin Myles the first prize for ladies. Mr. A. Luxton was awarded the Consolation prize. _ After the eitchre refreshments were served by the lady friends of the Order, and this was one of the attractive items on the evening‘s programme. â€" Daneing comâ€" m need at 11.50 and the music and the society proved so pleasing that it was two o‘clock in the morning before the gathering dispersed. TWELFTH OF JULY DANCE AN ENJOYABLE SUCCESS. In Sudbury the proposal met with a more mixed reception, some â€" being strenuous against itâ€"and others being active in support of the idea. The tewperance forees were much agitated over the anatter and there was much activity on‘ the part of the prohibitionâ€" ists to impress the Government with the idea that to issue a liquor vendor‘s license anywhere in the North Land would be unnecessary and a practical breach of faith. Petitions to this efâ€" feet were widely cireulated and other steps taken to prevent the establishâ€" ment of a licensed liquor vendor at North Bay or Sudbury. (In any case, License Inspector Kilpatrick, of Sudâ€" bury, was officially informed last week according to The Sudbury Star, that there would be no liquor vendor‘s license granted for either Sudbury or North Bay or for any other place in the whole North Country. â€" Despite the bad weather, despite the fact that more money was ‘expended in prizes than the advertised list callâ€" ed forâ€"the Big Day given here by the Timmins Fire Brigade, under the auspices of the Temiskaming Volunâ€" teer Firemen‘s Association, proved a signal succeess financially just as it proved to be one of the most enjoyâ€" able events as a First of July Celeâ€" bration. This week the Timinins Fire Brigade has concluded the collection of all money due in receipts, and the payment of every account contracted through the even‘t has aiso been made. The balance sheet shows that the local Brigade is just $633.4G6 to the good through the Big Day. ‘The total reâ€" ceipts were $1647.62, and the total exâ€" penditures $1014.16, leaving the balâ€" ance of $633.46 for the ‘local Firemen‘s funds. The expenditures included:â€"prizes for firemen‘s events, $279.00; baseball prizes, $125.00; prizes for ficld sports, athletic, ete,, $123.79; bands, $180.00 ; expenses of dance, flag, entertainment, etc., $152.00, $64.70 being for the dance; uniforms, $80.17 ; printing and advertising, Poreupine Advance and Nugget, $73.50. Apparently tie proposal to estaâ€" blish a licensed liquor vendor at North Bay or Sudbury has been dropped.

At first it was feared that the sight of the eye had been injured but fortunately this did not prove the case, although the accident was a seriâ€" ous enough affair as it was. He was taken ‘to the hospital where medical treatment was given and the broken bones in his face attended to, He is now able to be around again, and well on the way to recovery from the injuriecs suffered. ie sBuofee te oo se se e oBe aBe aBe oBe se oBe on aBe oi oer aTe on ohe ho ain o oBe oie aP oo nB oRe uie Te oZe aBe aBe ohe ols P Gn B tin ie vBe oBe oBe oBe oZe aBe on ol oZe eP aBe oo oBe oBe tlle sB oe aBe aBe rBe oo oBe offe aBe oBe Te oBe age it 24 030 Notes, Commients and Opiniens Of Interest To Mining World «ts «. < % 4 MOUNTJOY SETTLERS FORM ASSOCIATION. TIMMINS, ONTAR IO, The new gold prospects in the Agoâ€" tawekami Lake district, south of Abiâ€" tibi Lake, in Quebec Province, are reâ€" ported as very promising by prospectâ€" ors returning from the field. There is much staking going on there now, among those interested being the La Rose, the Crown Reserve and the Alad dinâ€"Cobalt Co. The number of silver minin@ companies now taking an inâ€" terest in gold mining is worthy of note. The silver mining companies no douwbt recognize the fact that the time is coming when silver mining will not be s profitable in comparison as it is toâ€"day, or at least when gold mining will be again the king among mining vertures. In addition, many of the silver vrning companies are providâ€" ing now, wliem days are prosperous, for the time to come when their silver ore willâ€"he exhausted. For those who can wait a dittle for returns gold minâ€" ing stil may be held up as the best of all mining propositions. â€" Conditions in ‘the immediate present may cloud this fact, but in the days to come gold mining is againâ€"coming into its own. The silver mining compani¢s recognize this, as is shown by the many recent investments in Porcupine, Kirkland Lake, Lighning River and many other new gold fields. The fact that the formation in the Agotawekami Lake ldutrnel."m similar to that in <the Porenâ€" pine hs gzeatly increased interest m ‘the new field. _ a $15,000,000 capital. Some time ago they took an option on the Otisse claims, the first payment ‘being $10,000 down, and the option amounting to $1,250,000. â€" Investigation and explorâ€" ation since then have so impressed the company with the possibilities of the district that the option has been turned into an absolute purchase. It is not known what the exac purchase price may be, but it is said that it totals around a million dollars, a comâ€" fortable part of the price to be paid in eash.> If the deal goes through as now outlined, Mr. Otisse will have made a record for.a firstâ€"class bargain for a gold prospect in Ontario.

Sam. Watnick eseaped a sentence other than the costs incurred in the case against him at South Poreupine last week. This case was brought by Provincial Offi¢er Ackrovd who learnâ€" ed that Watnick had secured a quanâ€" tity of serap material belonging to the Dome Mines through the medium of two boys both of wham were only ten years old. _ Watnick‘s defence was that he purchased the goods in good faith from the mother of one of the boys or with the mother‘s knowâ€" ledge. The story of the lads, how: ever, was that Watnick had given one of them 75 cents and the ‘other 50 cents to get the stuff from the mine and leave it where he could get it. Magistrate Atkinson gave the accused the benefit of the doubt, but in future no one should take the responsibility of purchasing goods from small boys Not only does it seem only common sense to refuse to deal with lads of tender years in such matters, but the nurchase of goods from them is a temptation to them to take what is not likely to belong to them. The easy and loose methods of some people in the district in such matters have done much to encourage young lads in wrong ways." Boys of ten can hardâ€" ly be expected to own anything of value that may be sold below _ its worth, and if. junk dealers and others would use the greatest possible measâ€" ure of honesty and common sense in such cases, the boys would find that it did not pay to appropriate the goods of other people because they could find no market for such wares. It would be a sound principle to sdopt, that no man should purchase anything from a boy without straight assurance After thorough discussion the meetâ€" ing passed a strongly worded resoluâ€" tmn to be forwarded to Secretary Meâ€" Adoo. _ This resolution recited the facts regarding the demand for gold, the rising costs of labor, materials, supplies, taxes, etc., making operaâ€" tions prohibitive and causing a susâ€" pension of gold mining. The members then submitted seven‘suggestions for aid to the gold mining industry. These recommendation included the building of motor routes to now inacceessable properties. The suggestions that are of particular interest and application to the Poreupine, however, are those suggzesting the remitting of all taxaâ€" tlon on gold mines, the ad)nstment of ‘freight rates, and the giving of a Govâ€" etnment guaranty. _ Thig guaranty ‘(instead of a bonus) ‘‘shall assure to gold mine operators profits commenâ€" surate w1th those that would have ‘accrued to them ~under® preâ€"Wwar _ conâ€"< ditions and prices of labor, :mpphes, taxes and other items of general exâ€" pense.‘‘ If there had been added a word or two regarding an assurance of sufficient labor and adequate conâ€" trol of aliens at work in the mines, these resolutions referred to would have about covered the case for the Porcupine Mines as well as for those of the Northwest. unquestionable kind that the boy was legally entitled to dispose of the Mrs. C. D. Kaeding has returned to the Dome after a visit to the south. Mr. Kaeding is expected baek the ené of this week. The telegram from the American Mining Congress read in part as follâ€" ows:â€"‘‘The government at Washingâ€" ton appears to ‘be awakened to the distressing condition affecting the metal mining industry, especially gold mining. Can we not agree on some concrete plan, possibly in the way of a réadjustment of freight rates, exâ€" emption from federal taxation, bonus, or any other measure of relief, to uniâ€" tedly present to the special committee recently organized in Washington?"‘ Important resolutions resulted from a diseussion at a special meeting of the Northwest Mining Association at Spokane, Washington, some days ago. The meeting was held in response to a telegram received from the Denver offite of the American Mining Conâ€" gress. As the mining men of the Northwest States and the mining men of the Poreupine are confronted today by the same problems, a special conâ€" sideration of the discussion and the resolutions of the Spokane meeting may be of special interest and helpfulâ€" ness here. sHOULD NOT BUY What Applies to the Northwest Disâ€"|Contract Let for Rochester Hose Reel trict Applies in Large Measure Station.. .
