Another Mattagami farm was sold last week at a good figure, Bourke, Lindsay McCluskey buying the Aileon Hubert farm, next to the Hellâ€" strom â€" farm. ‘The price paid was $5,500.00. The Allan Hubert farm comprises 71 acres, all cleared. The y ngr un L 3 purchase of the Hellstrom and Hubert farms gives Bourke, Lindsay Meceâ€" Cluskey a considerable frontage on the river for their lumber business. They are already busy at the work of erectingz buildings on these properties and there is â€"every indication that it is t:eir intention to ecarry on lumberâ€" in«@ onerations onâ€".an extended seale.

TIMMINS FIREMEN WIN HONORS At TOURNAMENT Timmins, as, usual, did itself proud at the Temiskaming Volunteer Fireâ€" men‘s Annual Tournament, held this year on July 1st at New Liskeard. Despite a number of unexpected hanâ€" dicaps, the Timmins Fire â€" Brigade .I‘uesday won first place in the Wagon Race, second in the Reel Race and third in the Ladder Race. â€" The prizes for the Wagon Race (the big event each year at these tournamenrts) is a Banner and $100.00 in eash. ‘The second â€" prize won by â€" Timmins is $25.00 in cash, and: the third won is $15.00 cash. â€"lIn the baseball games, their team takén down by the Timâ€" mins Firemen tied with Iroquois Falls for first place. The first prize for baseball was $100.00 and the second $£50.00, and the suggestion was made that Tlmmms and the Falls divide the $150.00 between them equally. This was not, however, accepted as a soluâ€" tlon, and instead the Falls and Timâ€" mins will play off the game either here or at Troquois Falls next Sunday. The place of play \\111 be decxded by toss. â€" The Timmins Fire Brigade this year encountered rather hard luck. They had given time and enthusiasm to the practices and were all organizâ€" ed to go down to New Liskeard and make a ‘*cleanâ€"up"‘ on the prizes for the firemen‘s events. Their teams were all carefully selected and all ready for the event. Monday of this week, however, citizens of the Town were alarmed by the progress‘ made ‘by bush fires that could be seen from. the town, and it was then considered inadvisable to have the Fire Chiof and many members of the best man of the brigade away from here at such a time. On, the other hand mémbers of the Fire Brigade did not think the Towa was in danger, and they felt it was hard luck to break up their teams needlessly after so _ much preparation. â€" Eventually the Town Council decided that, as the Kire Chief was staying here and there would be a goodly number of firemen here as well, a â€"team could zo‘ from | here to . represent Timmins: s vRe aBe at oBe aBe aBe aBe vBe sze sBe sBe *.u.é?u.**a..*fi.%.:.g%%..Tuzv.u..*: > n ohe Te on e se the Notes, Comments and Opinions _ Of Interest To Mining World T he Government is building a passâ€" able road from the C.

Samples taken from the shaft show assay values of a good milling grade. Another Poreupine ‘property preâ€" paring, for diamond drilling is the Gold Reef in Whitney Township. The surface indications on the properâ€" ty gives good promise and the proâ€" perty is to ‘be further investigaged by diamond drilling. L It is understood that the V . N.

L ts During the month of May the Lake Shore Mine at Kirkland Lake had a production of over $42,000.00. The mill ran 93.2 per cent of possible running time, milling 1750 tons of an average grade of slightly over $24,00 ner ton . Another find is reported from the Fort Matatchewan gold district, the discovery this time being in a large dyke containing heavy iron sulphides. This dyke is in the vicinity of Big Bond waterfall.. The assays show good values in gold, and there is genâ€" eral interest in the dyke as a conseâ€" qiuence. ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2nd, 1919. at the Committee Appointed by Various Inâ€" terests to Hold First Meeting The several committees appointed by various loeal bodies and interests to confer on the question of the high cost of living, following the suggestâ€" ion of the Great War Veterans Associ ation here, will hold their first meetâ€" ing in the Council Chamber toâ€"night (Wednesday) . . Following the resoluâ€" tion of the Goldfields Branch of the (G¢. W.V.A., Timmins, the mines here, the Board of Trade, the Town Counâ€" cil, Labor and other interests have appointed committees to meet togethâ€" er and confer as to the causes and remedy for the high cost of living. Three representatives were appointed from the Town Council, five from the Board of Trade, five from the Great War Veterans, and five from the Miners‘ Union. The mines have signi fied their coâ€"operation and the promoâ€" ters of the proposal look for much good to result from the conference. At the meeting toâ€"night=it is likely that the chief work to be accomplishâ€" ed will be the selecting of a chairman and organization to take up the whole question of the High Cost of Living in general to see what may be done to remedy the present hard conditions for the average family.

The contracts call for several thousand feet of diamond drilling. â€" Some of the drill holes will be put down as deep as 1000 feet to test out the property at depth. Work is to be started at once on the diamond drilling of the Inspiration property, the drills being already on the property. Aâ€" considerable amâ€" ount of diamond. drilling has been contracted for and it is understood that the property is to be tested out thoroughly this year. | # Â¥ K The directors of the Schumacher mine are holding back the reâ€"opening of <the property until labor condiâ€" tions, etc., are more propitious. It wis reported several times recently that the Schumacher would reâ€"open at once, but this reâ€"opening has been deferred, as. mentioned above, until labor conditions assume more normal shape. ' Several prospectors in the Porceupâ€" ine were interested in the reported discovery at Mile 235 on the Hudson Bay Railway near the Pas, Manitoba. “1 know the district well,‘‘ said one oldâ€"timer here, ‘‘and though I don‘t credit the reported find yet, if it turns out to be true, I‘ll go right out there.‘‘ He wired to Pas and soon had assurance that there was no truth 'm the story about the big find of silver Mileage 235, H.

July Ist in Timmins proved just what it was advertised to be, *A Big Day All Day;‘‘ At six o‘clock in the morning members of the Committee were on hand seeing to the watering of the grounds, so as to lhelp relieve the cheat and ‘dust, and. with this auspicious beginning everything was done all day to make the Sports Day of the Timmins Football Association not only a financial success, but~ also a pleasant one for all attending. Last night the Committee were busy totalâ€" ling receipts and arranging matters, but as all returns are not yetâ€"in, the total receipts can not yet be definitely stated at the time of going to press. FOOTBALL SPORTS DAY giC succEss EVERY WAÂ¥ The amount, however, will likely be over â€"$1100.00, with expenses of $450.00 or so to deduct. All the reâ€" turns are not in at the time of going to press from the young ladics selling tickets, but so far as may be judged now Miss Jean Roberts led as a tagâ€" seller . having disposed of 470 tags. Miss Maggie Cole was a close second with 427 tags sold, and Miss Beatrice MceCracken was also unusually sueâ€" cessful selling 406 tags. Miss Selina Moses also ‘did good work at tagâ€" selling, selling close to 400 tags, while another good tagâ€"seller awas Miss Edith Haughland with over 100 tags, most of them sold before the event.. It appears that Jean Roberts will be the winner of the special prize (a cut bowl and 6 cut glass dishes) given for the girl selling the most |tickets, but the other young ladies mentioned who did such good work in this line will also be given special prizes for their successful efforts. One of the features of the day was the fact that the whole athletic erounds were fenced in, the men enâ€" oa'wed on the fencing working until late Monday night so that the work could. hbe completed The â€" fence facilitated the work of tagâ€"selling, as well as giving â€"a moreâ€" businessâ€"lrke air to the grounds. These grounds, when fixed up on the present plans, will be the finest athletice grounds in the North Land. â€"â€"The Big Day All Day commenced at 9.30 ‘a. m., with the football ‘matcl between the Boy Sceouts of Timâ€" mins and Schumacher, the home team |\\1nmn0' with the seore 2 to 0, after a â€"keenlyâ€"contested. and wellâ€"played game. Charlie Jemmett secred the two goals for the match with much interest, the boys putting up a splen, did Ol'ade of good foothball . Timâ€" mins Boy Scouts thus won the Footâ€" ball given as a prize on this day. Before ten o‘clock the Finlander Band was on street and marched to the station to meet the morning train, then marching to the grounds where they furnished good music from time to time during the day. The good music given by the Band was a matter for pleased comment by many. T-he| Swedish Drill Exhibition was not given, some of those concerned failing to appear to take their part. In Throwing the Disc, the prize winners were:â€" Villo, 89 feet, 5 inches; Macâ€" kie, 69 feet; Vaho, 63 feet, 11 inches. In putting the shoulder shot (a 21â€" lb shot) Chief Wilson was easily the most expert. He won first with a mark of 28 feet, 5% inches, and anâ€" other ‘of his throws was further than the second prize winner Valo (26 ft, 4 inches). Mackie was third, with 20 feet, 1 inch. ~At the Boys‘ Baseball game in the morning â€" Timmins. defeated South End, 14 to 6, in an interesting and lively game. «y % h Melntyre won the silver medals for the Football in anâ€" evenlyâ€"matched game with the Poreupineâ€"Dome in the afternoon . â€" This was one of the most interesting football matches of the season and both teams played brilâ€" liantly at times. The matech went through ‘its alloted time without a score being made by either side and 10 minutes overtime eachk way was necessary for a decision. Melntyre scored from a corner kick just about four minutes from the end of the full extra .Mr. Wi. Field made a eapable and satisfactory referee. ~The Lacrosse Exhibition Match beâ€" tween â€" Timmins and | Schumacher teams was one of the features of the day, and. lacrosse enthiusiasts agree that there were a number of excellent players on the field and some fine plays. The Timmins team won with a score of 5 to 0. â€" y _A Another special for the day that ereated parficular interest was the Mucking Contest. There were ten entries for this event and there was Various ‘Big Fires Can be Viewed From Town, but Timmins is Now. There are a number of ‘bad bush fires around the district at present, but the town 4s in no immediate danâ€" ger and the stories regarding neighâ€" boring towns and settlements being wiped out is equally away from the mark. â€" People from Cochrane, Iroâ€" quois Falls, Matheson, and other places the T. « N.0. rumored now and again as ‘being wiped out reâ€" port the fires to have done no material injury yet to these settlements, though Single Copies 5 Cents . MANY BUSH FIRES, BUT NO PREGENT DANGER 10 TOWN a heavy rain would he welcomed as doing away with any danger there may be. From Timmins a filmber of heavy bush fires may be seen, one on the north of the town being particuâ€" larly fierce in appearance. It is on the other side of the river, however, and in addition it is going east and west. To come this way it would need a heavy north wind, and such wind would be the cold kind that would not help on fires of this type. There are a couple of fires of this are a couple of fires south on the Mattagami that are gaoing some damâ€" age, but so far they do not in any way menace the town. A fire that started yesterday did much damage to green timber on Jack QO‘Loughlin‘s lot and sweeping through the adjournâ€" ing property, caused heavy loss by destruction of green timber on Mr. T. Lawlor‘s place. The various bush fires to be seen from town cause much here naturally, but those best qualified to judge from â€" knowledge and experience give open and strong assurance that there is no menace to the town of Timmins from any of them. keen rivalry, while the crowd had much enjoyment front the contest. C. Romano won first, this time for mucking the 2200 lbs of rock being 4 minutes, 1 second. D. Carlo _ was second in 4 minutes. 52 seconds, and V., Aho, third, in 3 minutes 39 seâ€" conds. Messrs. Fred Constable and T. E.â€"Ryan were rhe judges in this contest, and Mr. J H’. Boyle the official time-keelw _ The â€" longest time taken for the mucking in this contest was 6 minutes, 27 seconds. Mr. J. ‘Thomas had charge of the races and other atliletic events and unti#3.30 all the events were run on time scheduled. The lacrosse match, however, lasting much tonger than exâ€" pected, delayed some of the later events and a few of these after due announcement to that effect were deâ€" ferred until after six o‘clock. One or two minor events brought no enâ€" tries, and so were not run off.

Some were afraid that with the team going down to New Liskeard, Timnmins would not be able to secure a firstâ€"class lineâ€"up. ‘The whole matâ€" ter of Baseball for the day, however, was left by the Committee in the hands of Mr. Lake and the afternoon game, as one spectator phrased it, was more than worth the tag for the day.> The game was reâ€" markable for unusual plays, a spectaâ€" ecular bareâ€"hand catch by Geo., Lake setting the crowd wild, while other unusual plays kept the crowd rooting.
