:0, Many Wide Veins Uncovered in New Field With Platinum Taking the Lead in Vaiues MANY PROSPECTORS IN MCARTHUR AND BARTLETT The townships of McArthur and Bartlett, two townships away south of Tisdale.are attracting the renewed attention of prospectors and minim: men, and there seems to be more loundation to the platinum fmd than at first supposed. It will be remembered thatayear ago last winter the first rush was made into this distrivt‘ and the whole country snowshoe staked. lmt little work was clone and a icw claims sold for small sums. J. F. Mchflrcy has just returned from making an examination oi (iii- terent properties and reparts that about twenty or thirty prospectors have recently gone into this field and that considerable lecitimato do. velopmont work and prospecting is being done.

It is the first event of the kind our )ocal brigade has taken part in and the members turned out in good style. Those present were Geo. D. Qua, secretary; Gao. Fairbairn. chief; Chas. Carr, captain; Geo. Everell, treasurer; Homer L. Gibson. first lieut.; Glenn A. Henry, second lieut., and Messrs. Cropsey, Brown, East- on. Michell. Mallory. Mullen, John- son. Charlick, Kennedy. P. Wayman. After satisfying the “inner man” in a truly fireman's style Glenn Hen- ry. who had been appointed toast- master for the occasion, called the members to order and in a few words addressed to “our guest" ex- pressed the loss that, the brigade felt in the removal of the seeretax'y,\\‘h0 had always lwen “on the job” and fulfilled his duties so faithfully. and wishing him success in his new posi- tion presented him with a pipe as a token of appreciation from the bri- "g-ade, after which all rose and drunk to the health of “our guest." Mr. Qua replied in a fcw words of appreciation. thanking: the brim-dc for the gift and all their good wishâ€" es. Speeches then followed by the chief. Geo. Everell, Homer L. Gib- son and P. Wayman, after which the farewell was concluded by singing “He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and three cheers for “our guest." “During the dinner Tomkinson Bros. took a flash-light photo of the gath- cring. The Cagos Club, of which Alex. Smith is president and C. 0‘. West- on vice-president, not to be outflone by the fighting huskies of the fire de- partment. held an impromptu ora- torical banquet and eating-fest at their club house. It was a free-for-all entry of good will to the departing member Qua. Every one qualified. and at times three or four brilliant eulogies were going at the same time. During the evening Mr. Qua was presented with a beautifully engraved silver cigar- ette case and all regretted most sin- cerely his departure. koll. James Frawlcy. .T.~.\I. MCGill. Gordon Wilson.

It does not {all gentlyâ€"though just- lyâ€"like the dew from Heaven, but goes with 3 him; that makes a streak of lightning look as if it had been stuck to a bundle of tangle- foot. Magistrate Torrance held court at Timmins last Monday morning. He had just fifteen minutes' time in whiCh to hold court and catch the train back to South Porcupine. There were seven cases to come be- fore himâ€"two and one-seventh n'in- ute to a victim. It was plenty of time. None were slighted or peeved over a delay. The cases were brought up and tried under the infringement of the Sunday Act. The town policeman raided Noel’s place while a few men were indulging in the pleasant game of black-jack out of hours. for it was lust Slmduy night. Seven fellows were rounded up and paid $5 and costs. It. would have been cheaper to have gone to church. ‘ . ~..._........ 0â€"._.._._ Every one realizes that in a min- im: camp and towns situated as these are, that there is little in the way of amusement and that the in- dulgence in small games of chance for six days in the week harms no one. and is much better than mooch- ing about and doing many other things. Salmons and public places should not. allow gaming of any kind on Sunday. The lollowing are the prices on Porcupine stocks. furnished by A. S.

The game was played Tuesday afâ€" ternoon and about 2.30 o’clock a keen. trim looking bunch of athletes took the launch for Porcupine to do battle for the honor of their town.

At the next meeting of the council BUNIBIBUIEB $|flfl Absence at Guard Rail at Mc- Intyre Mine Cost Man His life and Bu’y Money Neglect to properly safeguard the electrical apparatus and conductors in their transiormcr house at their plant at Pearl Lake has cost the MCIntyre mine one hundred dollars, and Gilbert Martin, an assistant electrician, his life. The charge of negligence was laid by 'l‘. 1". Sutherland. Inspector of Mines’for Ontario. and the case came up fur hearing before Magistrate J. H. Torrance last Wednesday mom- ing. Attorney Van De Vm‘t for the Mc- Intyre pleaded guilty to the charge of negligcnm under paragraph 64 of the Mines AM, and asked for lenâ€" iency from the court. from the fact that tho Mclntyre mine had always safeguarded its men in every way possible... and that in this case the railing.' had been taken down in View of installim,r anmhm' transformer. Negligence in complying with the law under this act. is a fine from $100 to $1,000, but being the first. of- fence and taking: into consideration the good standing: of the mine and its carnt'ul management the minimum fine of $100 was imposed and paid into court. Passing of Stock Proposition Stewart Thome, manager of the Preston East Dome, arrived in South Porcupine Saturday from To- ronto. This company which for the past six months has been operating with a small plant, is now closed down. A year ago this stock was one of the most active in Porcupine and the sensation of the year to traders. The company refused to make any more payments on the Preston and the East Dome claims and the only claims left. to them after these were let go did not seem to have much chance of making a mine. There are many people in this camp who will remember this mine and stock proposition with a feeling of more than passing displeasure. There can be no ,discredit against the work and active management of the mine here. as it was under cap- able and honest supervision. There will he a meeting of the baseball association tonight at 8 o’- clock in the townsite office. A full attepdzmce is desired, as important matters will come beferc the meet- ing' and Labor Day program of sports arranged. fflfl NEBUBENCE The council also decided to pur- chase from the Northern Canada Supply Company a 3‘2. inch fire ball which will be centrally located.

Leave Money With Coroner After this experience the nun will probably leave his money with the coroner, pending a decision. An Italian by the name of Audin in town became sick and was sure he was going to die. He had some aw- ful pains. He knew his wealthâ€"$26 â€"â€"would be worthless to him as soon as he died. He sent it to his par- cuts in Italy. Soon after this the pains stopped. This week he is broke and at times hungry. Even a kind deed sometimes has a kick back.

The slump is caused by the vague rumors which have been going the rounds of the street and camp that there is to be a general strike called among the miners in the 'district. Such a rumor is without any foun- dation whatever, so far as can be learned, and at the present. time and under the conditions now prevailing would be most. ill-adviswi and with no apparent chance of success.
