The Porcupine Advance There is only one town left in Eng- land. they say. with a purely Bri- tish nune. It was once called Caer- Lywely‘ld. which afterwards beomne Caer-lmel. then Carleol and finally Carlisle. One name like this .vllould Canada's fire waste du1 was at. the rate of $97310 ute. People should begin that eyery fire in a city whether your own or) bar's. is borne by the e munity of those who insu losses in any town can higher rates. Word has come from 1.03 Angclcs that Death Valley SCutt has sold his mine for $1,000,000. The purchasers are said to be '1‘. A. Watson. F. E. Sharp and F. C.

Unltcd States When the Hon. Frank Couhrane: goes north shortly to make his tripj of inspection of the Hudson Bay1 Railway, he will resort to primitivis methods of locomotion and will not be accompanied by the usual corm of spoonâ€"fed attendants. 'l‘his inno- vation will he somethingr altoirethei different from the private car and bullet to which former Ministers haVe been so much accustomed. Mr. Cochrane intends to make the major part of the journey with no greater entourage than an Indian guide and no more pretentious con- veyance than a canoe with a tenting outfit. The Minister will probably fry his own fish and do his own washing the while, leaving the hut. uries of modern civilization to the armchair critics at home and those whose knowledge of departmental de- tail is gathered from hearsay and the inspiration of imagination. The Government steamer Stanley will intercept Mr. Cochrane at Port, Nelson. Mr. Cochrane is well quali-; tied to do such a trip from his ex- ; perienoe grained in the nomh coun-i try. having paddled the canoe. driv- en the tote team and carried the pack in the earlier days of the I‘fild‘ son Bay Company's service. long be- fore S-udbury had a place on the map, when railways were confined to Southern Ontario. The circumstanc- es serve once more to call attention to the varied career of a great Can- adian, whose rapid rise from ‘a 1mmâ€" ble station in life to the high posi- tion of Minister of the Crown, has been a subject of more than passing notice.

Whitney, adjoining? the La. Palme and Three Nations properties on the east. Several large yeins have been located and workis now being done to determine the character and extent of same. The vein matter is heavily mineralized with sulphides and in some places shows gold. The Jermey is held by the Gamma and Watson syndicate of Orilli'n. beâ€" ing one of a number originally locat- ed by them in Tisdale and Whitney some of which have been disposed of in the early days of the camp. Hith- erto no work has been done on this i The work now being done on the .Ienney Vet is under the supervision of John C. Dunn. Many of the properties in North- iern and Eastern Whitney are going to make good. So for in compari- son to other parts of the camp very 'little money has been spent in act- ual mining. but all work done so far has gone to show that this part of the camp has merit and powihilities of making three or four mines. lot and results so far are very en! murnging. 310 any am an Mons Building i More man Una Dreadnought W a Year 'I'hn- [)1'111)11~‘:ll by some peace loving' senator to close the Panama Canal to the ships of all nations building more than one dreadnought a year has not been taken very serioust in; as much as the l'nited States would.

Both propositions have aroused consider- able resentment in this country and will be objected to by the Imperial gOV'eImnent as contravening the An- glo-. \meiican t1eatv which p1ovides that the ships of war and commerce of all nations shall be admitted to the use of the canal upon equal terms. --â€".... ll!

Parr, general freight. and passenger agent of the ’1‘. ~N. 0. Ry., has many troubles. 'l‘lie travelling public is careless in leaving unclaimed baggage in coaoh« as and waiting rooms, and eadh day there are dozens of 'pieces of baggage unclaimed, found in the coaches and waiting rooms and turned into the look-up. An inventory is taken of contents, marks and descriptions giv. en and all persons whose addresses are found are advised by registered mail. In many cases the agent is unable to find owners on account of bagâ€" gage and parcels being unmarked. Mark your baggage with name and address. It will save you the loss of your goods and the railroad peo- ple a lot of trouble. SHflWIIG BPWEll Fred Lefebvre of North Bay is re- gistered at the Iroquois. A. E.

There Is Mourning Among the Johnnies The black emblem of mourning is to be put on the doors and there is to be some wailing and probably some knashing of teeth among the male population of South Porcupine. 'I‘he glory of the sunshine and the fragrance of roses will have depart- ed when the .Iardin de Paris Girls Cm. playing here for the past two weeks, finish their engagement Sat- urday night.

It is not an unfair argument, and the only effective answer is for the government to correct these condi- tions. We venture to say that Am- erican settlers will continue to pour in, but they will come prepared to tight against extmtion by the rail- \xay companies. They will have no sentimental attachment for either of our political parties and their influ- ence will be thrown in faV‘ox of that party which has the courage and ability'to redress their grievances, 1101' will they hesitate to go into a new progressive party if one is form- ed in Canada.
