South Poreupine was then only beginning to develop, and â€" opinions seemed to vary as to where the real centre of the Camp would be. _ In September. 1911, however, Mr. Peters made his decision, coming to the new Townsite of Timmins and linking dus fortunes with this promising town. In the meantiime ‘he was through ithe big I’Ur(-upme fire of 1911 and found how true is the old saying that is as an ill wind that blows no one good. His pictures of the Poreupine dire made him a comfortable stake. _ He was on the ground, and his enterprise, skill and daring made it posstble to secure a large number of unusual picâ€" tures of the great disaster of tins North Land. _ _ Other photographers failed in their efforts to secure good views, evenâ€" after the event, â€" the smoke seeming to make their attempts useless. Mr. Peters, however, carried on *‘‘husiness as usual,‘‘ except when he was occupied, as he often was, in civing assistance to the victins of the fire. Had it not been for Mr. Peters, no picture of the big fire would have heenâ€"available. For twentyâ€"five years or so Mr. H. Peters, photograper, made a specialty of taking pictures of lumber camps and outdoor scenes. In this specialty he travelled widely in Canada and the United States. â€"On the 3rd or 4th of May, 1911, he tramped through the muck and mire and sand from Porgus Junction to Golden City. Then, pleasâ€" ed with the prospects and possibilities, bhe went back the same way, and getâ€" ting his traps and â€" furnishings at Cochrane he brought them up to Porâ€" cupine by the way of Night Hawk Lake and Poreupine River to Bhll‘s On September 27th., 1911, Mr. Peters finally came to. Timmins Townâ€" site. Mr. Duke had started building the International Saloon (where the Stadelman Stationery Store is now located) and Mr. Lep. was digging out the cellar of ‘his proposed building, when Mr. Peters‘ lumber arâ€" rived and he went right on with ithe work of erecting a building. _ Un January 1st., 1912, Mr. Peters, Timâ€" mins‘ first and only postmaster, openâ€" ed the Town‘s first post office in the DAVIDSON SHAREHOLDERS VISIT THE PORCUPINE. A party of twentyâ€"three, as guests of Messrs. F. C. and H. H. Sutherâ€" land, visited the Camp over the weekâ€" end and inspected the Davidson Mine. They were much pleased with the proâ€" gress made at the Davidson and found the prospects most encouraging especiâ€" ally in view of the fact that the new mill on the property will be in operaâ€" tion this month. . Extensive ore bodiés have been opened up at the Davidson, and the diamond drill indicate further resources as far down as the 700â€"foot level,â€"400 feet lower than the preâ€" sent workings. _ A particularly fine ere shoot was receently opened at the 100â€"foot. five to six feet wide, abrout 200 feet long, and averages $30 in zold to the ton. The pmrty visiting here spent a pleasant and profitable time im the Camp. They visited the mine and made a general inspection of the proâ€" pertv and afterwards drove back to Timmins where they had a pleasant dinner at the Goldfields. The party included :â€"Messrs. A.

His parâ€" ents were of the good old pioneer stock. Indeed, his first cradle was no other than a sap trough pressed into service till such time as there should be opportunity to make one of the reâ€" culation pioneer eradles of those days.

From the very commencement of the town Mr. Peters has been one of its most helpful and loyal citizens. _ In Board of Trade and other local eireles he has been ready and active and useâ€" ful.. In 1913 and 1914 he gave good service to the Town as one of the members of Council. ~One year he and Chas. Dalton had the distinction of nominating and electing the whole school board. _ These two were the only ratepayers taking the thought, time and interest to attend the formal nominations proceedings, but they did the work all right. _ Anotllher year Messrs. Peters and Sol. Laub thad the same honor.. Mr. Peters believes in Timmins and its fuiure and is willing always to help make his faith come true. â€" He is one of the types that have made the North Land.

At the prelimiâ€" nary trial here the evidence was to the effect that Chernowski, who is an Austrian, got money from the other men on the plea that he was going to buy fruit or eattle or produce. _ In one or two cases where goods were really purchased ithe other men reâ€" ceived none of the returns and eventuâ€" ally after Chernowski had been supâ€" posed to be in the West buying cattle, he was located in Toronto, where he was finally arrested and brought back to Timmins.

A young lady giving the name of Lyons was picked up last week in a halfâ€"clad and halfâ€"unconsceious condiâ€" tion on an unfrequented street in Torâ€" onto. She gave her address as Lewis street and said that she had come down from Cobalt a few months ago. Her story was that the last she reâ€" membered clearly was being brushed against on the street by man whom she did not know. After that her memory seemed to leave her, the inference being that she had been drugged. _ Stories of girls being drugâ€" ged by strangers with hypodermic needles, in theatres and movie shows, restaurants, ete., have recently been of frequent occurrence in Montreal, while several have also ‘been reported in Toronto.. When enquiry was made after Miss Lyons this week at Lewis street where she had been taken after being treated in the hospital, newsâ€" paper men were told that she had gone away, and no further particulars could be learned by the eity seribes. Miss Lyons had undoubtedly been badly maltreated and ithe city police are searching for her assailant. She was recently a resident of Cobalt and at one time lived in Schumacher where sheâ€"was popular and respected.

The Crowns won, howâ€" ever, hy a score of 4 to 2. Pte. Joe ‘rennan and W. G. Smith were the referees. Both teams played a fast and the Empires worked especiâ€" ally hard for a win.
