PLATINUM FOL 'flhe Porcupine branch of the Can- 'lian Mining Institute is to convene ' Porcupine some time in the lat- ter part of the month, due notice 09 which will be forthcoming in The Advance. It promises to be one of deep and lasting importance, and it is regrettable its President, Dr. A. E. Barlow, will not be present at the meeting's formal opening, which {get is made to definitely appear by his letter so setting: forth. The vari- ous papers to be presented at the meeting will principally have a hear. ing‘ on the practices of mine milling. As there are four distinct systems of milling in vogue in this camp at this: time, it .will have an educational force lacking in no prime essential. . Efipeeially will this appear when it is made known that Porcupine is "‘“ese properties of suflicicnt high- «grado to enable the management to extract it at once without machinery and several bags of high-grade um ready for transportation. I). B. Promises to be One of Deep and Lasting lmportance--Many Interesting Papers CANADIAN MINING INSTITUTE MEETING Mr. Graft stated that a large amal- gamation of interests in that town- ship were probably to take place at this meeting and that he held op- tions on several claims lying in the group spoken of. It has been noted in the papers that some great devel- opment work was soon to take place in this district and Mr. Grail affirm- ed that it would commence not later than September of this year and im- provements made in the district. Roads will have to be cut and trans- portation facilities arranged. It is understood that there is silver on Frank Grail of Swastika, a well known prospector oi the North coun- try, was a visitor in North Bay on Sunday, stopping over on his way to Philadelphia where a conference of mining men is being held relative to a large group of silver claims lying in Burt township soutlhwest from Swastika and on which it is report- ed some valuable silver finds have been made. llh Way to Philadelphia Where nonlerehce of Mining Men is Belng Held fflANK Gflflff INTER- VIEWEB M NflflTH BM The first clean-up of bullion from the Hollinger zinc presses took place on Friday, and the results. while nothing official is yet given out, are said to have been extremely satlslno- tory,when it is known that all the are stamped out so far has come from the dump, as the giant crusher is not yet in perfect running order.

Show and his brother, John 13., of Philadelphia are heavily interested in the project, and it is said that nei- ther time nor money will be spared to move up this showing. While on the stand Prescott’s evi- dence showed that the robbery was oonnnitted on Saturday night, the ore being taken from the rock-house but that it was brought into Cobalt Sunday evening by the four men; all of whom were arrested in connection with the case, although Prescott was released when no information was lodged against him. .-\t 'l‘uesday's sitting of the Pro- vincial Court. at Cobalt. in this case. the important evidence brought out was when Prescott on the stand swore he was in the employ of the l’inkerton international detective agency, and was sent to Cobalt by its manager to ascertain why so great the illegal sale of high-grade silver in that camp. It was also made to appear that some of the are captured by the police was identified by Ore-house Foreman Jeffry of the 'I‘emiskami'ng mine. while Manager Fisher also showed by the mine's re- cords that two bags of ore had been missing early on Sunday morning. High-graders’ \ Evidence Taken lmlllion, it. is said. will run into thomnnds of dollars, and it iS'to the llnllimter the Porcupine public is looking to redeem the standing of the cn'n'p an a gold producer. The Hol- linger is attracting decidedly close attention from outsiders. Bullion from now on will be shimied regu- larly. SOUTH PORCUPINE, ONTARIO, CANADA. FRIDAY. JI’LY 12th.

Not One of Very Grave Evil The Archbishop of Canterbury does not regard favorably the decision of the courts upholding the refusal to grant Holy Communion to Mr. and Mrs. John Banister. In replying to a request 101‘ counsel as to those who are anxious and even dismayed ~1t the decision. Dr. Randal-l says: The very unusual manner which brought about the death of Gilbert Martin at the B'Iel'ntyre mine, July 5th. so aroused public sentiment that, an inquest was called for. Coroner Minthornof Schumacher aeeordingly on Saturday evening empanneled a jury. whivh reached the decision that death was due to carelessness on the part of the mining company. And this will in all probbhility end the matter so far as the company is in- volved. there being no blood relation, so far as we. can learn, to sue for possible damages or cause other le- g-al procedure. Coroner’s Inquest on Martin’s Death Mr. Edward Bell. who, in the great tire of July 11. 191']. saved the Meek family of five. persons and two others, left here for Haileybury on Satur- day morning last to receive his re- ward for his great exhibition of brav- ery. being nothing less than the King’s medal.

PLENAURUM MINE SHOWING UP FINELY One More fine of the latest Porcupine mines to start operations is one named Christ. It is near the McEnaney, and. with a gang of men, on Satur- day beg-an sinking a shaft. This shaft is being put down on a very large outcropping of quartz which gives ev- ery evidence of being a very import- ant one. Surface work has been go- ing on for some time. and the good finds there doubtless inspired the let- ting of a contract. for the sinking of fifty feet. T‘his,_ however, is in the nature of preliminary work, which will he extended as fast as the exig- eneies of the case seem to warrant. Necessary camp buildings and a resi- dence for the manager already have work well advanced on them. and the manager is on the ground super- vising: the work.
