Schumacher "A CHAIN OF SERVICE *~" was elected President of Geologists Section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. He contributed very dargely to the deveâ€" lopment of the mining of ‘Ontamio, and in that respect could really be clasesd as one of the *manufacturâ€" ers‘ of Ontario. He had an internaâ€" tional reputation, an‘d everywhere in mining circles there is genuine sorâ€" row at his sudden demise. Had he wanted a position of more monetary alue than the one he was holiding, it could have ‘been ‘his time after time, ‘but he was a genuine if undemonstraâ€" tive enthusiast for his native proâ€" vince, and chose to serve it to the neglect of greater commercial opporâ€" tunities to himself.‘ ' Throughout ‘the North Land the death of Dr. Willet G. Miler will be looked upon as a serious loss to the Province of Ontario. While his name was especially and intimately associated with Colbalt, every mining district in Ontario owed much to his talent and his public spirit. The Jlate Dr. Miller was educated at Toronto University, taking postâ€" gnaduate work at Harvard, Chicago and Heide‘berg Universities. He was a member of the Canadian Geologiâ€" cal Survey, later becoming Professor of Geology at Queen‘s University, Kingston. In 1902 he was appointed Provinceial CGeologist for Ontario, and since then he has been close‘y and helpfully identified with the progress of mining in this Province. He was the first Government official to make extended report on the Cobalt area. Cobalt had first been reported as a copper district. Dr. Miller‘s report referned to it as a silver area, and from the very beginning he expressed After an illness of only five days, Dr. W. G. Muler, Provinc@ial Geoloâ€" gist, died at his home in Toronto on Wednesday of last week from meninâ€" gitis. He was 358 years of age at the time of his death, and during a busy Ilife he had contributed very noteworthy service to the Province of Ontario. In commenting on the death of Dr. Miller, Hon Chas. Meâ€" Crea, Minister of Mines, dast said :â€" ‘‘*He was one of the fonemost geoloâ€" gists in the world. ‘Only recently he was elected President of Geologists Section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. He contributed very dargely to the deveâ€" Sudden Death of Provincial Geoloâ€" gist. Gave Cobalt Camp Its Now Famous Designation. DR. W. 6. MILLER, FAMODGa GEDLOGIST, PAGSES AWAY THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO a faith in Cobalt that has since been fully gjustified. _ To Dr. Miller also goes the credit for the naming of Cobait Camp. Lake"‘ was the name originally considered for the new station on the ‘FT. N. O.° Dr. Miller pointed out that *‘‘Cobalt would be an unusually appropriate name on account of the formation and that moreover it would ‘be ongâ€" inal, distinctive and attractive as a name. â€" (His suggestion was eventuâ€" ally folowed with material advanâ€" tage to Cobalt in many ways. There is no question now but that the name Cobalt was a decided asset to the new camp. In a reference last week to the death of Dn. Miller, The Mail and Empire expresses itself in a way that will meet with the approval of pracâ€" tically a‘ll in the North. ‘The Mail and Empire said :â€" Dr. Miller was a frequent visitor to the Poreupine area, and here his services and personality were much appreciated, and his death is deeply regretted. Not only did he give his own high talent and large sincerity to this and other mining camps of the Province, but he a‘so trained other men in his charge to the same devoâ€" tion to duty and faith in the great resources of the Province. a celebrity, gave him the confidence of investors in the United States and in the United Kingdom, and ‘he was thus conceded by the Governments he setved to be an important factor in Grawing investment capital to Ontario _ fields. Recognizing â€" the confidence which he _ engendered amongst the most important investâ€" ment interests, Premier Ferguson and Hon. Chanles MceCrea chose him last year for the Mining Departâ€" ment‘s mission to England. It was he who preceded iMr. MceCrea overâ€" seas and paved the way for much of Mn MceCrea‘s success in interestâ€" ing capital in Ontario mines. _ The highest honor available to him was paid during the past year when he was chosen president of the Geoloâ€" gists‘ Section of the British Assocâ€" iation for the Advancement of Science. Had he survived, he was to have visited Great Britain during the coming Summer for his installation into the office. Dr. Miller‘s abrlities were notable for being always at the service of the public. _ During wan time he rendered important work as the Canadian representive in the Imâ€" penial Resources Bureau in London, England. Also during war time he served on the commussion which ceâ€" ported on the Ontario nickel industry refusing in this connection the honorâ€" arium which was tendered him in reâ€" cognition of his valuable work. At various times ‘he had posts otfâ€" fered him by important United States interests worth four and five times the one which he held under the Government, but his interest in Ontario development always caused him to decline such offers." Last week The Lookout, the bright little newspaper published for nearly a year and a half at Sioux Lookout, announced that it was discontinuing publication because of lack of adverâ€" tising patronage and the fact that consequently it could not successfully continue publication. _ The Advance regrets the fate of this energetic and able little newspaper. It was giving a service to its section of the North Land. Its field, however, was reâ€" stricted, and The Lookout found, as so many newspapers are finding toâ€" day, that a restricted field can seldom support a newspaper of its own. Passed, indeed, are the days when every town and village, even the community of a few hundred souls, could have a newspaper of its own. Today it costs money to start a newsâ€" paper and lots of money to continue it. In the past few yearms, seores of newspapers have been foreed to the wall in Ontario through the changed conditions. It is a matter for regret that as able and original a journal as The Lookout should have to disconâ€" tinue its bright service to this North Land, but conditions are such toâ€"day that it is out of the question to atâ€" tempt to run a newspaper that is not receiving full advertising support. *"‘Dr. Millen‘s iinterest and influâ€" ence upon Ontario‘s progress as a mineral producing country has been consistently an impontant factor durâ€" ing the recent years of so active exâ€" ploitation. _ His high professiona‘ standing, in which connection he was The following morning the bride‘s mother got a postâ€"eard, which read : ©Arrived safely.
