The mine managers oi the western end of the camp feeling the need of immediate action have abandoned their negotiations with the various committees for one large'general hos- pital and have arranged with Dr. Moore of Sehumaeher to open a hos- pital at Pearl Lake. The doctor has secured the Bewiek- Moreing club house and will tit it up immediately, opening it as a hospi- tal on May lat. The Porcupine district longer without hospital There is no place 'in the whole dis- trict which is more ideally situated or arranged for hospital purposes, and the doctor and the mine manag- ers are to be congratulated on their happy choice. Situated on a high ground over- looking the who,e of Pearl Lake, the long, wide verandah, which runs the full length of the club house, and so situated that it will get the sun for the greater part of the day, will make an ideal resting place for con- valescent patients. The club house consists of six large rooms on the ground floor, each twenty by twenty, three on each side, divided by a long. wide hall, and several. smaller rooms which can be used for private oases. From each room French windows open on to a wide verandah on either side of the house. Then there is a large attic which, with but little alteration, could be made into a long ward to accommo- date a large number of patients. The house is titted with running water, baths, water closets and the sewers empty into a septic tank sit- uated on the property. The water supply is pumped by a gasoline plant into a large reservoir, and in this way its purity can be as- sured at all times. As a hospital it will be fully equip- ped with all the necessary instru- ments and paraphernalia for all class- es of medical and surgical work and nothing \vfll he kit undone to {wake it as complete an institution :8 pos- sible.

Justin McCarthy Dead in London Only two ballots were marked against the by-law, and it is thought that these two were intended to fav- or the measure, though the mark was placed within the wrong margin. It is gratifying to note that the sentiment of the people is so over- whelmingly in liaVor of municipal im- provement. Those in authority, and who will be charged with the expen- diture of the amount raised, should see to it that no time is lost in be- ginning and completing much needed improvements throughout the town- ship.

PflTIfiVIllE BIIIZENS RISE IN SERIUUS PHflTESI Not Satisfied With Treatment Extended By Council of Whit- ney finuncfl The citizens of Pottsville have un- dertaken to secure what they claim is nothing more. than their due from the townghip council. At a meeting of the property hold- ers held last Tuesday evening the Pottsville people made it very clear that they would make a strong .bid for recognition in the way of muni- cipal improvement. It was contended that of the $20,- 000 to be loaned the township Potts- ville would not receive the benefit of one cent of the amount. It was also shown that the expenditure of the sum referred to would. be divided as follows: $5,000 for Lakeview; $4,000 to pay ofi present labilities of Porcu- pine and $11,000 for municipal im- provement in Porcupine, thus cutting Pottsville off without a shilling. Pottsville residents claim that they have repeatedly asked for a side- walk between Porcupine and their town, and have as often failed in getting it. They claim it is impos- sible for children to attend school for the reason that they cannot trav- el the road in its present condition, and that at least forty children are at this moment being deprived of the school privileges. A committee will wait on the For- cupine Board of Trade Saturday night and lay before thatvbody the absolute requirements of Pottsville. 1n the event of failure the Pottsville people will petition the government to erect a school building ior their own use. It seems a simple matter to ad- just, and it is to be hoped that an amicable arrangement will be reach' ed without delay, whereby all feeling in the question will be dispelled. ‘ The local board of health has post‘ ed notices regarding the usual spring clean-up rules. Now, just see to it that. the commands of these notices are promptly obeyed.

The Canadian Northern Railway him: had a car on their Toronto to Trenton line and in a trial trip the other day demonstrated that it was the ear par excellence for short runs. It is dillicult to conceive the possi- bilities oi the gasoline motor car on the l’orcupine-Timmins division. lts operation here should revolutionize the development of this country, giv- ing, as it would, a last. frugaent ser- vice between the various towns, in- eluding the Dome.

It opens the \vay for sports of a”; kinds. With rapid, frequent servicei between the various towns, large! crowds could be carried from town to , town to witness contests of various. descriptions and, drawing from the! whole district, would encourage thei establishment of suitable grounds atf some point for all kinds of outdoor! sports. 3 The social life of the district will be broadened with interurban travel“ made as comfortable and convenient as it will be by this service. And in doing all these things the motor car will increase its own effi- ciency because as fast as it creates its own bUsiness, just so fast will the railroad increase the service to take care. of this business. It will encourage the establishment. of bigger and better stores and the carrying‘ of better stocks by the mer- chants, because it will bring to their very doors the population of the en- tire district. ' The hospital problem is solved with the advent of the motor car, because with this fast and frequent: service to and from the various towns it matters Little where the hospital is situated, and there ought to be little difficulty in bringing all concerned to an early decision in the site. Let us hope that this rumor is founded on truth and that 2W8 may soon have the motor car, with all its advantages, at our disposal. ‘TRREE NRIIRRS SPRIRRS RIB SURPRISE IR RAMP Huge Nugget from Hundred- level Best Exposed to View Here The township of Whitney is aroun- ed to a point of genuine exaitement. And well 'it may be. 'l‘hree Nations mine hnn' produced a sample of ore which is :\ .: mlymtâ€" tracting the attention at \Kimneyitea but also that of many eminent min- ing men. The exhibit. is at present in the llnnk llustnnrnnt l'oreupine, being brought into town Wednesday morn- ing by the manager of the mine, J. .\': Angriganon. and is one of many smaller samples which were exposed to view a day previously. Metaphors have nearly been on huusted in describing samples of gold ore located heretofore in the camp, but it. can be truly said that. this sample from Three Nutions'is won- derfully rich, perhaps the finest ever brought into the camp. Timmins Branch Being Ballasted The T. 6: N. U. realizing the urg- ency of the situation, built a large portion of this extension while the frost was in the ground and conse- quently it has been necessary to wait for spring before the road could be ballasted. It was in the north drift at 25 feet that the sample referred to was so- cured from one of seVen veins en- countered. Those who have an opportunity should view this sample of ore, which will relieve their mind of any doubt as to the values in sight at the Three Nations. The work of ballasting the road bed from here In 'l‘immins is already under way. Crosscutting is now in [WW and.the manager asserts that. sufli- cient ore is obtainable to supply a Wâ€"stamp mill. Steam drills are now in use, but these will give place to air drills, which will be installed at once. At present. now that the frost is coming out the ground the track is in Very bad shape and trains have to proceed with the utmost caution. ’ 'l‘he roadbcd is ballmtml with war cl and not only will the cost. of main- taining this section be largely redne- cd but the trains will be able to make better time. A force of mm is at work all the time keeping the track in as good shape as possible. This work bears the earmarks of preparation for the operating of the- new gas-electric motor car at an ear- ly date. Slxmaz ('nrnzs 5 Cents. Wreck
