Mr. J. 1. Tipton and Mrs. Tipton and their son, Douglas Tipton, of Sault St,e Mariec, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Urquhart, 59 Way avenue. Mr. Tipton is a real pioneer of the Porcuâ€" pine camp and the North, having come to this country about thirty years ago. He was with the Traders‘ Bank, the first bank to establish a branch in the Porcupine camp. Before coming to the Porcupine Mr. Tipton was at Kelso and Swastika. In 1910 he relieved Mr. Bullard as manager of the branch at Pottsville while Mr. Bullard went on holiday. Mr. Bullard was manager of Porcupine‘s first bank, the Traders‘ Bank brinzing in on sleighs a portable building for the offices of the bank, this building being placed on a lot at . Pottsville and providing the first bankâ€" ing accommodation for this camp. In 1911 Mr. Tipton came to Golden City, Pottsville‘s close neighbour, and took over the management of the Traders Bank there, the bank being established then in a log building. Later, the branch was moved to South Porcupine, as the growth and importance of that | town warranted, the bank conducting business in a sheretâ€"iron covered buildâ€" ! T‘ lo | al 8: d( ing. "I see that the building is still | in use at South Porcupine, though not for bank purposes," said Mr. Tipton on Saturday. Mr. Tipton was manager of the Traders‘ Bank at South Porcupine for about a year and a half. During that time the Traders‘ Bank also had a subâ€"branch at Schumacher. The buildâ€" ing housing this subâ€"office at Schuâ€" macher was on McIntyre property, and one morning when they went to open the branch, they found the bank buildâ€" ing down one of the drifts. Mining operations had been carried on under | the building, a caveâ€"inâ€" had occurred, and only the top of the building could be seen. No one was hurt, and no seriâ€" ous damage done, and after a little trouble the building was lifted out of the drift, established on firm ground, and business went on as usual, the inâ€" terruption being taken as a matter of course that might occur in any wellâ€" regulated mining camp. Mr. Tipton was enthusiastic about the remarkable growth of Timmins, Schuâ€" macher and South Porcupine since the early days when he knew these places first. He saw Timmins "before there was any Timmins," if that sort of Irishâ€" ism may be permitted. In 1911, just after the Porcupine Fire he came to Timmins to attend the first sale of lots on the townsite that is now the site of the city of Timmins. This sale was postponed kecause the bidding was not good enough. Later Mr. Tipton again : represented the Traders‘ Bank at the deferred sale. It was not felt that immediate prospects justified paying $1,000 for a lot in the new town and ; the Traders‘® Bank consequently did not open an office in Timmins. Both the Bank of Ottawa and the Imperial Bank, however, bought lots in the new town and both later established branches here. The Bank of Ottawa opened the first bank in Timmins, Mr. Tipton said, the Imperial Bank coming in here shortly afterwards. Mr. Tipton left the Porcupinge in 1912 and has not been bauck since until the present visit so he can certainly see many changes and improvements in the camp. Since leavâ€" ing here he has been manager of variâ€" ous branches of the Traders‘ Bank and its successor The Royal Bank of Canâ€" ada. His last post was as manager of the branch of the ‘Royal at Sault Ste. Marie, retiring on long service pension from that position, but continuing to make his home at Sault Ste. Marie. F l » 1s P d; | 18 'h. | er 6 I Despite the threatening weather last night there was a largse crowd out to hear the first open air band concert given by the Timmins Citizens‘ Band at the band stand in the park on Spriuce street.

After the concert the band had marched through the town and arrivâ€" ing back at the school, the members had just gone to their quarters when the late Mr. MacRae was seen to waver and collapse. Dr. P. Wenger was callâ€" ed but on his arrival found the deâ€" ceased beyond human aid. The late Mr. MacRae, who was over fifty years of age, was a native of Argyleshire, Scotland and after coming to Canada served for a time on the Ottawa police force. Later he moved with his family to Western Canada and established a prosperous grocery and confectionery store in Aberdeen, Saskatchewan.© Such was his reputaâ€" tion for fair dealing among the residâ€" ents of the district that he was known as "Honest John." k During the yvears of the depression he continued to operate his business but finally succesive crop failures forcâ€" ed him to give up. After closing his Husiness Mr. MacRae moved to Timâ€" mins and since that time made a large coterie of close friends here. He was well known for his cheery and hurmorâ€" ous disposition in the face of hardship.

Our engineer informs us that we are approximately 54 ft. distantfrom this large porphyry mass. It is the present plan of the company to complete this crossâ€"cut as expeditiously as possible with a view to drifting both ways on the ore body. In the meantime a series of short diamond drill holes have been completed, cutting various sections of the ore body for the purpose of obtainâ€" ing geological information and to aid us when the drift is completed. _ We expect to complete the crossâ€"cut for the remaining distance of the 534 {t. within approximately one week. Just as soon as we have driven both ways cn the ore body we expect to follow the recommendation of our engineer and resume milling operations at the earliâ€" est possible moment.

Oddly enough, right alongâ€" side of the new frame building there is a similar addition built to another building, with the exception that this latter addition complies with what is gonrrally believed to be the provisions of the building byâ€"law. The frame adâ€" dition is to the A. P. Store, the building being owned by Mayor Bartleâ€" man. If such additions are allowable under the byâ€"law, it is too bad that othrr pseople did not know this before, and that other people were forced to biuild even small additions of more solid and fireâ€"proof constructionâ€"the excuse for this being the plea that the building byâ€"law mquired it. Authorities at Kapuskasing deny the report that there was a young child died there last week from infantile paralysis. It is stated emphatically by the Kapusâ€" kasinz authoritiee that the report is utterly without foundation, there havâ€" ing been no cases of the disease in the town or 1mmr=diate vicinity so far as known. is There a Building Byâ€"Law ?

The steei framework of the huge new ice palace is being fabriâ€" cated and installed by the Dominion Bridge Company. PBefore the Premier returns to his Q@usen‘s Park office he expects to have twice crossed the Rockies, to have paid his respects to Aklavik and other alâ€" most inaccessible points around the mouth of the Mackenzie River, to have inspected the new ‘Yellowknife mining country, and to have flown down the Pacific Coast line all the way from the Yukon to Vancouverâ€"one of the riskiest hops charted on aerial navigation maps, The seating capacity is 2,100 but the rink itself will accommodate 3,000, inâ€" cluding standing room. The outside dimensions are 258 by 110 feet. The ice surface will be 190 by 80 feet, ten feet shorter and five feet less in width than Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. The seating will be exactly similar to that used at the palatial Toronto rink. According to the plans, the upper portion of the building above the dressâ€" ing rooms, will house a hall 36 feet wide and 80 feet long, This will be used as a community hall, filling a long felt want in Schumacher. The development of young hockey players is being carefully borne in mind. On Saturday mornings the rink will be divided by plank partitions into four ice surfaces eighty feet long and fortyâ€" eight and a half feet wide. Youngâ€" sters will have the privilege of playing hockey at this time under proper super« vision.. Mr. Hepburn will fly in the big twinâ€" motor machine owned by J. P.

Cooke, one of the McIntyre Mine officials, anndunced toâ€"day that the new rink will be completely equipâ€" ped and ready for next fall. The artiâ€" ficial ice plant will be installed as soon as the building is ready. According to a despatch from Toronto Premier M. F. Hepburn left yesterday with Mr. J. P. Bickell, president of the MciIntyre Mines, and a pilot, on an 8000â€"mile aeroplane trip through the far North. Construction of the new McIntyrs rink at Schumacher has been resumed and the work will be rushed to comâ€" pletion in readiness for early hockey training this fall. The rink was startâ€" ed last year but cold weather and heavy snow halted the work in December. Delivery of the necessary steel was also one of the factors causing the suspenâ€" sion of the work.
