Has any reader of The Advance tried the coal oil scheme, or knows of its successâ€" ful use? The Advance wonders if any of the oldâ€"timers have tried this coal oil cure for frozen limbs. If it is based on fact, it would be a good thing for everybody to know. The usual methâ€" od of rubbing with snow works well in the case of lightly parts, but where limbs are badly frozen it Office moved to Residence A correspondent recently wrote!|to Tho Toronto Mail and Empire warnâ€" inz against the danger of loss of limbs through frost bites. ‘"‘It to me,‘‘ he says ‘‘that everyone living in Canada, from the eastern part to Rocky Mountains, should know what to do in case of getting frostâ€" bitten or any member of their bodies frozen, ‘because what never happened before can happen. I saw an aceount of une of the Yukon miners or gold hunters who got lgst when ‘about 60 below zero and froze his feet and legs up to the knees. Some of his comâ€" rades found him and held him in a haltâ€"barre! of coal oil for possibly several hours and took all the frost out. The reason I am giving this information is that two of our fellowâ€" citizens that I know of lost parts of their hands and feet from being frozen and didn‘t know about the proper treatment. Everyone has enough to do to keep up his end without being maimed or disabled. Hoping this inâ€" formation may be the means of savâ€" ing many a man or woman a lot of suffering and expense.‘‘ The letter is written from Kelfield, Sask., and sioned ‘‘Moose Culbertson."‘ wWHAT DOES ANYBODY KNOW ABCUT THIS, THIS Empress of France...... Feb. 9 CRUISES MEDITERRANEA N Opposite Dr. Moore‘s Office Montroyalâ€"March 1. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO w While walking alongâ€" Browning street, Haileybury, sonle days ago Mr. E. Edmonds found a stick of dynamite lying uncovered on the sideâ€" walk. He carried it first to the home of a friend and later took it to the police station. How it came to be lying on the sidewalk is a mystery, one explanation being that someone was carrying a parcel of several sticks and one of them dropped out. That is an explanation that suggests the mossibility of a serious accident. In any event the finding of the dynaâ€" mite indicates that someone wais careâ€" less, or worse, in the handling of the explosive. If a child had happened to find the explosive there would have been good chance for a fatality. It would appear that there could be greater eare shown by many in the way dynamite is dealt with. It is a dangerous thing under some cireumâ€" stances, and should always be dealt with very carefully and with the most thorough respect.

Good orchestra in attendâ€" ance. â€"Refreshments served. ‘‘Dr. Goodwin took his audience back to the early days of Eeneas Mcâ€" Charles and other pioneer prospectors, over thirty years ago, and recalled the struggling days of the nickel inâ€" dustry, to the captains of which, both past and present, he paid high tribute. He said there was sufficient nickelâ€"copper ore in sight at present to keep the present operating comâ€" panies going indefinitely. He the history of the industry back thirtyâ€"one years, when he first came to Sudbury, and said that few realized or appreciated the courage or initiaâ€" tive required to put the industry on a paying basis. Those men who struggled in the early days deserved utmost credit. They assured the success of an industry without which Sudbury would today occupy a very insignificant place on ‘the map. ‘*‘You can‘t make a gold mine on a shoe jstring.‘‘ the speaker warned his audience when he came to the subâ€" ject of precious metals. From exâ€" perience and observation he could say that there was great gold mining posâ€" sibilities in Sudbury district, but their proving up required considerable finâ€" ancial resources; at least half a milâ€" lion dollars should be assured the treasury at the outset. It was for lack of »sufficient financial backing that many good prospects were today lying idle. The possibilities of lead and zine mining in Sudbury District and throughout the North were also dealt with in an optimistic tone. The ‘‘mineral hunters,‘‘ he said, had for years ibeen passing these up through lack of sufficient knowledge to recognâ€" ize them. The ‘‘Friend of the Prosâ€" pector‘‘ concluded that it was his main object in life to improve the practical knowledge and vision of those men with whom lay the ultimâ€" ate success of the mining industry in Northern Ontarioâ€"the genuine prosâ€" pectors.‘‘ STICK OF DYNAMITE FOUND ON HAILEYBURY STRE ‘‘A more kindly interest in and more generous assistance for the genâ€" uine prospector was the plea made in an interesting talk at the Lion‘s Club weekly luncheon by Dr. W. L. Goodâ€" win, who is at present conducting prospectors ‘classes at Sudbury Minâ€" ing School. With theâ€" prospector, speaker said, «rests to a large extent the future development of the minâ€" ing industry. In fact, without him there would be no mining industry. It was the duty of every citizen to give such encouragement as he could to make the business of the prospecâ€" tor surer, for if peole only but realized the possibilities of the largâ€" est mineralized area in the world which Ontario possessed all would want to get in on it. The prospector was the stepping stone of undreamâ€" ed development and creation of wealth. Speaker said his remarks apâ€" plied to the real fellow who was conâ€" tent with a fair return for his labor, and not to the faker. Mining should be treated in the same manner as other business enterprizes and if this was done with thoroughness the reâ€" turn to ‘the investor would be just as great as in any speculative investâ€" ment, and ten times greater. Too often in this country the value of the prospector is forgotten. He is taken for granted. Yet without his clever and persistent efforts there could be no development or progress. He is the man who has made the North Land what it is toâ€"day. If others did their work as well as the prospectors did theirs the country would be even greater than it is. It is pleasing to jsee this line of thought advanced by a man of the high standâ€" ing and wide experience of Dr. \W. L. Goodwin, of the Ontario Departâ€" ment of Mines. A week or so ago Dr. Goodwin addressed the Lion‘s Ciub at Sudbury and his address was concerned chiefly with the value of the prospector. regard to the adâ€" dress The Sudbury Star says:â€" PROGPECIOR‘S VALUE IN DEVELOPMENT DF NORTH Dr. W.

It was the ground foree of the Fire Protection Service who had to fight the fire, and had more equipment been.available on the spot the fire might not have taken the proâ€" portions which it did. | ‘*‘Without in any way wishing to detract from the value of aerial paâ€" trol in combatting the forest fire waste, we feel that it is necessary to once more draw the atâ€" tention of the Minister of Lands and Forests to the disastrous fallacy of basing any such concelusions as indiâ€" cated albove on this, or even last, year‘s statistics of forest fires. A far higher power than human ingenâ€" uity in the shape of aeroplanes interâ€" vened to ‘‘Master that spectre of Northern Ontario timber limitsâ€"the forest fire.‘‘ More.especially during the past season, but to a very large extent also the previous year, it was next to impossible to set fire to the bush, so that the permit fires brought no danger whatever. And at that, even slash burning:could only ba done to a very limited extent owing to wet weather. | In discussing a recent despatch in which Hon. Mr. Lyons was quoted as giving high praise to the aeroplane branch of the forest protection serâ€" vice of the Province, The Cochrane Post makes some timely remarks. No one should minimize the value of the aeroplanes for forest fire protecâ€" tion work. No doubt they have been of great service. Or the other hand it will be a serious mistake to imagine that they can take the place of men and equipment for fighting forest fires. In commenting on the despatch some weeks ago The Advance emâ€" phasized this viewpoint. Too much dependence must not hbe placed on the aeroplanes or the country may suffer grievously. The Cochrare Post in an editorial article on the question says: MORE THAN AERCPLANE SERVIGE NFEEDED 1N NORTH Largs Amount of Slash Left Through the Country a Menace to Safety of the People Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afterncoon from 4.30 p.m. until 5.30 p.m. ADMISSION 2 s m /m 5¢.

This danger is considerably enhanced on account of the wet seasons during the past two years which has left such a superâ€" abundance of slash as to be a terrible menace to the country.
