THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE ~Messrs. Wm. 8. Greene and (George Andrews, two weliâ€"known mining men lost their lives early:Sunday morning in a fire which took place at the Kirk land Combined Mines, Limited, at Kirkland Lake, According to inforâ€" mation at hand from Kirkland Lake Messrs. Greene and Andrews reached _the Kirkland Combined Mines propâ€" erty from TCVobalt late on Saturday evening and decided to spend the night in the office hunk room. About hbalfâ€"past two o‘clock Sunday mornâ€" ing some miners passing nearby noticed the flames shooting up through the Toof of the office bunk house and gave the alarm. . Strenuâ€" *ous efforts were made to fight the fire and in the meantime Mr. Andy Grierâ€" son, manager of the property, led in ‘an attempt to reseue the tiwo men. He was gallantly assisted, especially by a man named Laroeque. â€" Messrs. Grierson and \Larocque, regardless of their own safety, eventually reached the burning bunks and brought Greene out. He was, however, enveloped in and died a few minutes after \being reseued. Grierson Larâ€" ocque went back after Andrews but were unable to rescue him. Indeed, in. the struggle Grierson was overâ€" *eome with the smoke and heat and would himself have perished but for the brave work of his wife. Mrs. Grierson rushed_ into the burning building and was followed by several others of the spectators at the fire. With the assistance of these _ helpers Mrs. Grierson was eventually able to drag her husband to safety just beâ€" fore the roof and sides of the buildâ€" _fng collapsed. In the morning the ‘_charred remains of Andrews were found in the ruins of the building. â€"It is believed that the fire‘ originatâ€" ed in an overheated stove in the office bunk room. The two men had reâ€" tired for theâ€"night, there were no lights in use, and nothing apparently Messrs. W. 8. Greene and Geo. Anâ€" drews, Wellâ€"Known Mining Men, J Meet Sad Death.

An interesting changso suggested in the speed dog race event this year is the starting of two or three teams at mins, to the Dog meeting | to have 8Sth, unle pear for a time, instead of singly as at present. [t is thought that this plan will greatâ€" ly add to the intersst in the main event and all were agreed last night to try it out this year. It was also about decided to have the freight race run from Timmins to South Poreuâ€" pine and Tteturn, using the same course as for the main dog race of the day. [t was also decided to _ limit the amount to be carried, to 100 Th, or less per dog. Further particulars of the Dog Race and Carnival will be given next week. The event has grown into a big affair and the intention is to make it still more important and inâ€" teresting this year.
