ANOTHER CORNISH FOOTBALL CLUB SOCIAL AND DANCE All of this is a sort of romance in itself. At the same time it takes some of the romance out of the proâ€" spector‘s work, but at an offset to this latter idea there is very general sitisâ€" faction that toâ€"day the needs of the prospector and the advantage of the prospector are considered more than ever before. The prospector is the man that has made possible the proâ€" gress of the North. For many years he received little attention or help. If he is to be given more notice and assistance now, everyone who knows hs worth and value will be pleased indeed. Nowadays, however, ‘‘all the blessâ€" ings (or otherwise) of~ civilization‘‘ follow elosely upon the heels of the prospector. Rouyn Camp is a sample of this, with its airshp service and other conveniences so early in its hisâ€" history. Red Lake is another. The Ontario Government has taken a parâ€" ticularly keen and helpful interest in Red Lake, and few camps before ever had such a chance to make good under the easiest possible conditions. As soon as there was a possibility of a rush to Red Lake arrangements were made by Hon. Chas. MceCrea, Minister of Mines to establish a mining recordâ€" ing office for the camp for the conâ€" venience of the prospectors. Now, comes word that Red Lake camp is to be made accessible by airplane. Three machines, under charge of Mr. J. V. Elliott, of Hamilton, are to inâ€" augurate a passenger, freight and mail service. The journey from Hudâ€" son Station, on the Transcontinental Railway to the camp takes about five days by dog team. It can be done in less than two hours by airship. A police magistrate is also being apâ€" pointed for Red Lake and regular court may be held. A Provincial Police officer has been appointed for the camp. An assay office has also been established at Red Lake. Oldâ€"time prospectors will be <imâ€" _pressed with the difference these days between a modern new mining camp and one of ten or more years ago. Inâ€" deed, it is doubtful if the oldâ€"time prospector will be altogether pleased at some of what he may term "newâ€" fangled comforts‘‘ now given to even the newest mining camp. The oldâ€" time prospector looked upon it as part of the game to have to walk twenty to a hundred miles with a pack on his back to reach the eldorado. He took it as a matter of course that he had to look after himself far from ennerâ€". vating civilization. Because of their ideas, the oldâ€"time prospector developâ€" ed courage, resourcefulness and selfâ€" reliance to a degree that made him so successful in his work. Of coumse, as soon as the prospector discovered something and interested others. there was demand for conveniences and acâ€" commodations, but usually it was some considerable time before these were given. ‘ MODERN CONVENIENGES fOR RFD LAKE GAMP Transportation by Airships.

This was Caledonia, and in the game referred to it was ‘‘Caledoâ€" nia, stern and wild!‘‘ all right. But just before the bell rang ‘"‘Whitic‘‘ seored the winning goal from a serimâ€" mage in front of the Caledonia goal. which the whole Dunnville team had been bombarding the latter part of the period. ‘‘There had been some doubt about White being able to play, as he had been in bed since Monday night‘s game with bruised knees and legs. However he would not be denied, and without a doubt the morale occasioned by his presence on the defence was largely responsible for the victory. Of course all played wellâ€"we had to And now we want to pay a compliâ€" ment of Cayuga. In the first place that game little village was sporty enough to bring 159 fans down in two snecial coaches on the regular evenâ€" ing train, returning after the game by special, an engine being chartered from Fort Erie. That is real stuff‘! And they played a most creditable game. As one fan said: ""It was a good game to win, and a hard game to lose"‘ by either team. Cayuga‘s team are all home brew.â€"except the goal tenderâ€"including Kohler, Meâ€" Sorley, Murphy, Dyte, Barnes, and two subs, Currie and Dovle."" While in Timmins, ‘‘Whitie‘‘ played on the teams here on occasion, but at Dunnville he has gone in to hockey with a vim. Speaking of the last, and deciding, game in the group, The Dunnville Chronicle says:â€"â€" In the Intermediate O. H. A., Dunnâ€" ville has won its group after a merry battle, and The Dunnville Chronicle gives much credit to T. M.> White formerly on the Bank of Commerce staff at Timmins for the win. The group included:â€" Caledonia, Port Dover, Cayuga, Hagersville, Simcoe and Dunnville, all W1th hvelv teams. FORMER TIMMINS PLAYER MAKES GOOD IN DUNNVILLE In the report in the issue of The Advance last week on the curling match, when a Timmins rink defended the T. °N. OQ. Commission Cup against a South Poreupine rink the personnel of the rink repersenting Timmins was given as J. Watt, skip; J. L. Hunt, viceâ€"skip; W. Rinn, second and A. Lawlor, lead. This was an error. The Timmins rink which sueâ€" cessfully defended the T. N. 0. Cap consisted of W. MeceCracken, skip; J . Watt, viceâ€"skip ;. W. Rinn, second and A. Lawlor, lead. The game was playâ€" ed on Wednesday evening of last week, Dr. N. N. Kirkup skipping the challenging rink, which was defeated 14 to 13 in twelve ends. PERSONNEL OF WINNING CURLING CUP DEFENDERS ‘*Radium is the most precious of all mineral products and is used in the treatment of cancer. It is found in pegmatite dykes and in this instance contains considerable columbite, a metal used for plates in gas stoves. The ore also contains in addition to radium, pitchblend, euxenite, carnoâ€" tile, roscollite, uranium oxide, and feldspar."‘‘ ‘*Six tests have been made with the ore samples and five of the six showâ€" ed radium. The tests were made by Niemi, the Sudbury photographer, by placmg the specimens on top of photo- graphers‘ plates for thirtyâ€"six hours in a dark room. The result of the prints developed from the plates shows conclusively the presence of radium. ‘*This was last December and Mesâ€" srs. Leach and Johns went to the proâ€" perty in January and returned with much lbetter samples than they had previously brought out. Six claims have been staked. r ‘*An important discovery of radiâ€" umâ€"bearing ore is reported by R. E. Leach and C. H. Johns, well known Sudbury prospectors, in the township of Carter, millage 98 on the C. N. R., northwest of Sudbury. Mr. Leach and Mr. Johns finst discovered what they then thought was radiumâ€"bearing ore on December 15 last. Samples were sent to the Department of Mines, Torâ€" onto, and to Prof. Goodwin. The Deâ€" partment pronounced their sample as containing _ euxonite, _ radioâ€"active, while Prof. Goodwin pronounced his samples pitchblend, in which radium is always found. The North Land seems to be comâ€" ing into its own in the way of minerâ€" al discoveries. Oldâ€"time prospectors have conststently maintained that aâ€" part from the gold and silver this North has valuable deposits of asâ€" bestois, coal, iron, copper, barite and many other minerals In fact some experienced prospectors maintain that this country can produce practically every desirable mineral on the list. In gold, silver and nickel the supremâ€" scy of the North is now unquestioned, and now the prospectors seem to be out to prove that the same is the case with other minerals. Radium is one mingral that prospectoms, "especially around Sudbury, have been interestâ€" ed in: for some time. In the last issue of The Sudbury Star appears the following article in this regard :â€" DISGOVERY OF RADIUM REPORTED FROM CARTER Vailuable Samples Taken from Townâ€" ship West of West Shiningtree Capital $10,000,000 Reserve $19,500,000 Total Resources $230,000,000 THE ability to save money is a test of character.
