As the story runs the young man came to this country :aboutitwelve months previousâ€" ly to work in a large gold mine, so as to gain experience to enable him to ittake the ‘referred to. Dear Sir:â€"Secing there are a great many Cornishmen in this mining camp» the following may be of interest to them::â€" This week the following interesting letter was received. The Advance is not acquainted with any of the details of the case referred to, but published the letter for the interest it will unâ€" doubtedly have for Cornishmen here. If the facts are as indic: ited, then ‘the letter would suggest one of the difâ€" ficulties now being experienced by some of the Cornish mines. On the other hand, it may be admitted that a year‘s drilling in one of the big gold mines in this district would teach a young man much of the mining game if he were bright and ready to learn, and particularly if he had previous experience. The young man‘s success would depend largely upon the size of the proposition he would encounâ€" ter in Cornwall. It it were a small mine ‘he might do well enough. Certainly he would have the benefit of being under men here unusually gifted in mining work, for only the pick of the mining brains of the world could have brought the big mines of the Poreupine to the high position they occupy toâ€"day. To work in one of the big gold mines of this district is undoubtedlv a liberal education in the mining line. Here is the letter referred to:â€" Timmins, Nov. 15th, 1925 To the Editor of The Porcupine Advance Quotzs Current Story as Sample of What May be Wrong With Cornâ€" ish Mines at Present "THâ€"MINER" ASKG SQUARE DFAL FOR GORNISH MINFS Now, sir, I would like to know The building of good roads through the mountains and the resultant growth in automobile traffic is a new feature which adds greatly to the increase in tourists. The opening of the Banff Windermere road, and the road from Lake Louise to Wapta, thus making a splendid higshway all the way from Calgary through the Kicking Col. Philip Moore, Princeton Graduvate, big game hunter, war veteran, and mountain climber, is so well known in the Canadian Pacific Rockies that, as one guide put it, ‘"he hails a grizzly when it passes him and asks after its missus and the cubs.‘"‘ Ever since Col. Moore first visited the mountainous regions of Alberta and British Columbia, he has managed to spend part of each year hunting, camping, and climbâ€" ing mountains. He returned recently frem a summer enâ€" joyed in Yoho Valley, where he added a {ew more miles to is 2,500 mile record on horseback as a member of the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies. "Big Game Hunter Lauds Canac:an Rockies TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19th, 1925 a man can get enough experience in such a short time. If the story is true, I am not surprised that the Cornish tin mines are in such a bad state, and in my opinion for a man to qualify for that position he should have practical knowledge of the workâ€" ing of an upâ€"toâ€"date mine, and such knowledge cannot be obtained by a few months‘ work in a mine. If the story that is going round ts true I don‘t wonder that our mines in Cornwall are in such a bad state. It is not giving the Cornish miners a square deal, because at present the majority of Cornish miners have been compelled to leave their homes and families and seek a living in a far country. In my opinion if the Cornâ€" ish mines were worked on an upâ€"toâ€" date method, and a few live wires were given the opportunity to hustle things along a little, there would be a living wage for the Cornish miner in his own country. As well as being of special interest the following figures indicate the effiâ€" cieney of the Tax Gollector‘s Departâ€" ment. With an unusual rush of taxâ€" payers during the past couple of weeks, and with inadequate premises to handle the crowds, the Tax Collecâ€" tion Department has maintained its reputation for efliciency and for bringâ€" ing in the money, as the figures prove, To dateâ€"80 per cent. of year‘s taxes collected. Amount of taxes on 1925 rollâ€"â€" $361,348.99. Collected to date, $282,347.46. Still outstanding, $79,001.59. Last year with approximately $292,â€" 600.00, on the roll, there was $92,000, outstanding at this time in the year. That is, with about $70,000 less taxes to collect there was more than $13,â€" 000 .00, more arrears last year at this Up to the Present, $282,347.46 of the $361,348.99 Taxes on the Roll Have Been Collected. Less by $13,000 Outâ€" standing This Year Than at Same Time Last Year. Eighty Per Cent. of Taxes For Year Collected to Date All these pleasures Col. Mcoore has proved, and intends to lecture this winter, as he has been doing for a number c years, about the marvelous beauty of his belov mountains. Heis not selfish. He wisKes others to s} the joys of the "lone trail" which has lured him mountain fastnesses ever since he forsook the acz halls of Princeton. Then, too, the growth of the bungalow camp idea has been phenomenal this season. Those whom the palatial summer hotels do not attract yield to the lure of log cabins, perched on the shore of a crystal lake, and shaâ€" dowed by overhanging mountain peaks. With a haverâ€" sack on one‘s back, one may hike from camp to camp, or, if one does not scorn the saddle, ride a pony along the leafy trails. . Horse pass and the valley of the Yoho, has given touriets glimpses of wonderful precipitous canyons topped by some of the most majestic iceâ€"clad peaks in the Rockies. Dr. W. C. Arnold, of Haileybury, met with an odd and very painful acâ€" cident last week while cranking his ear. The hand slipped from the crank and struck with such force aâ€" gainst the license plate on the front of the car that the tendons of the thumb were severed and the hand badly lacerated. ‘The injury will keep him in the hospital for some days. 1921â€"$550.10. 1922â€"$1,100 . 90. 1923â€"$4,292.19. 1924â€"$23,630.15. 1925â€"(to date)â€"$79,001.59. It may be noted that the Tax Colâ€" lection shows elose to 100 per cent. efficiency, as the small amounts uncolâ€" lected are registered against the proâ€" perties concerned and will in practiâ€" cally every case be paid eventually. I may state that what was good enough a hundred years ago is not good enough these days, when comâ€" petition is so keen. In my opinion some of the old standards should be retired and a few hustlers installed who have had experience in foreign mining camps and then they would be in position to introduce modern methods. In this econnection it is to note the taxes stand books for the past few y collected. The following of uncollected taxes sho outstanding for the past f. time than this year‘s record. Taxes are still coming in well the present time and by the end the year there will be likely only small arrearage shown.

This property was formâ€" erly known as the Hughes property. This property has developed into a most promising one and the visitors were much impressed with what they saw. Exploration and development work on the property has been meetâ€" ing with the most favourable returns and the property shows the greatest promse of developing into a big thing. Considerable trenching has been done, as well as the sinking of some pits, and in addition there is a shaft down 160 feet. All the work recently has increased the strength of the general opinion of those interested that this is going to be a real mine of good proâ€" portions. During the visit of those from Timmins this week a number of samples were taken at random from the workings. These samples were not picked, but just taken as they happened, They all earried free gold and showed ore highly mineralized and most promising. Some of them were spectacular in their gold showâ€" ings and all were rich in gold. With favourable location and formaâ€" tion the Northern Canada Consoliâ€" dated Mines is one of the most proâ€" mising properties in the district at present. The company also owns one thousand acres of wellâ€"located minâ€" eral land in the Rouyn Camp. on Monday afternoon, \Iov 3rd, comâ€" mencing at 4 p.m. VERY RIGH SAMPLES FROM FORMER HUGHES PROPERTY Several From Timmins Visited Proâ€" perty This Week and Were Much Impressed of Timmins the property Consolidated aÂ¥ bP, 'oi € 52 y C Tok s mog;l,ansonlf? 4 £28% «€ _ l Attle %togrqofi@r' Christian Science Meetings ODDFELLOWS‘ HALL Sub ect : " sOUL AND BODY " Services :â€" Sunday 11 a.m., Sunday School 10 a.m W ednesdav afternoon 4.00 p.m. 32 Hemock Street.
