New Police Chief Begins Duties l’rnvincinl Constable Mctlinnis.who has been on duty in Golden City for some time. has been appointed chief of police for South Porcupine and is already on duty. Chief McGinnis proved an eflicient and capable oili- eer in the field where he was station- ed and made hosts of friends.

Each of those tak- ing part in the program were careful in their selections with the result that every one brought forth round alter round of applause. Especially was this so of the reading by Mrs. A. S. Fuller. in which she displayed much more than ordinary atulit)‘ and skill. Messrs. Earl and Dalzell.

Moneta' Goes to l 75-Foot Level 'l'wo drills are at work sinking the main shaft of the Moneta to adepthi of 175 feet where the first station will be cut. and considerable crosscut- ting done by the management. The! shaft is being sunk near the northern end of their properties and lengthy! crosscuts will be necessary to tap; the Hollinger zone, which cuts across' the southern portion. The shaft is down 110 feet at present and early in the spring the station should be reached. At present a four-foot vein shovm in the shaft. having enlarged from a mere stringer and this vein will be! drifted on at 175 feet. Three other shafts ranging in depth to 87 feet have been sunk on the property but trouble with water necessitated the abandoning of them for the time be« â€"--vv-_ .â€" ing. In hzo of these shallow shafts. promising veins were encountered and n lenirthg; crosecut from the main shaft will prospect these ore bodies at depth. 3 There is every probability that this $predictinn will be fully realized. fur- ther obsenations as to Moose Fac- itory 's suitability as a port on James iBay and as an outlet for Northern 'Ontnrio. are being made by the Tom-- :iskaming and Northern Ontario rail- ! way commission. Will Prediction Be Fulfilled? g It is thought that. there may pos- ‘sihiy he a good harbor on James “Bay in Ontario. suitable for large honts and this would mean the anv- ting of many miles of unnecessary roadway to reach Port Nelson or :Port Churchill on Hudson Bay.

World’s Oldest Known Security The oldest investment security onl earth is the real estate mortgage.‘ We know that money was loaned on‘ mortgages in ancient Babylon. in the time of King llamurabi, four thous- and years ago. and that some twen- ty-llve hundred years ago the great Babylonian banking house of the Egibi family. invested large sums in mortgages on both city and farm property. the mortgages being re- corded on bricks, which have been preserved in the safety deposit vaults of those timesâ€"great earthen-ware jars buried in the earthâ€"preserved until the archaeologists. in our own §day and age. dug them up to show us when. where. and how mortgages * originated.â€"Leslie's. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE Silver \m. Gold Saturday Night Yes, they're humans, is the O’Brien hockey team. and so is the great ail. ver mine from which the hockeyistsf take their name.
