‘*If possible a bronze figure will surmount the whole. *‘*It is the of the Veterâ€" ans to make a canvass of the town, but the intention is not to beg for ths object, but rather to give every person the opportunity of subseribing because it is an object in which everyâ€" body has an interest. ‘*‘There will be no limit to the aâ€" mount of subscription, but the Vets would like all to know that any sum will be accepted, as a proof of interâ€" est in the project. ‘‘A drawing of the memorial will be on view shorty in a prominent place, so that the public may see just what is proposed ‘*The memorial will stand on a conâ€" erete base and a turf bank built aâ€" round with a gravel path from the sidewalk. ‘*The memorial is to be built of loâ€" cal stone in squared rubble with Queenston Limestone base and capâ€" ping, and a bronze tablet with inâ€" seription and the names will be built into the front facing Whitewood Ave. The Liskeard Speaker last week :â€" ‘*For some time past the local comâ€" mand of the G.W.V.A. have veen working on a scheme to erect in New Liskeard a memorial to the boys of the town who gave aH they had in the Great War. It has so often begn pointed out that the town, in contrast to most other towns of its size, has no tribute to the memory of these men, and the Vets have decided to move in this matter, and will erect a fitting memorial. To this end a design has been prepared and the Library Board have officially given permission for its erection on the lot adjoining the Two other prospectors believed to have lost their lives in the Red Lake district were Chris O ‘Kelly, V.C., and his guide. No trace was ever found of O‘Kelly but the canoe which the air had taken north was found overâ€" itrned' in a small stream. The body £ the guide was later recovered.

I firmly beâ€" lieve they found gold. They struck North, probably to Sandy Lake, by canoe and portage, into the vast wooded wilderness, past Frenchman‘s »lake, Lace Seule and Mattawa River. From that time nothing was heard of them until months later meagre details reached J. R, Bunn, dominion government Inâ€" dian inspector, who at the time was manager of the Hudson‘s Bay post at Rat Portage. The Inspeetor learned that . the leader of the trio of adventurers had accidentally shot and killed himself while cleaning his rifle. The other two had disappeared mysteriously. Aceording to Mr. Bunn, they were well bred men. The one who was shot was a graduate of an English university; one was an artist, connectâ€" About thirty years ago a party of prospecters, well equipped with caâ€" noes and supplies, left Kenora, Ont., at that time Rat Portage, to search for goldâ€"in the district surrounding Red Lake. While every day prospectors are pressing eagerly forward from Hudâ€" son, Ont., the mining camp at Red Lake has become a bustling hive of industryâ€"@living memorial to the courage and enterprise of three men who lost their lives on the gold trail long before the present ‘‘rush‘‘ startâ€" ed. While there is so much interest in the Red Lake Camp, it may be noted that thirty years ago a party of three jospectors went into that coumtry, their journey ending in tragedy. A despatch from â€" Winnipeg recently gave the story, the outline being as follows :â€" Three Men Prospected in Red Lake Field Long Ago. One Accidentâ€" ally Shot. Other Two Lost. TAAGEDY IN DISGCOVERY OF REO LAKE 30 VEARS AGD Hollinger Stores Limited ‘‘Aye,‘‘ replied Sandy, ‘‘but they were a. wee bit tigcht for ma brither on the night shift."" "That‘s queer,‘‘ said the bootâ€" maker, ‘‘did they fit you all right?" A bootmaker gave a money guarâ€" antee that his boots would last three months. _ An Aberdonian bought a pair, but in three weeks brought them back in holes, and completely worn out. ‘*Everyone in Haileybury and the district will wish them the greatest of success in the venture, as the need of a source of coal supply has been one of the greatest drawbacks to this part of the Province. ‘*«‘The company is fortunate in havâ€" ing as directors several Haileybury men of high business and professional standing and the work on the properâ€" ty will be cearried on along business lines and with as little expense and delay as possible. ‘‘The company will offer a small number of shares at a very low figure, as soon as the organization is comâ€" plete, for the purpose of financing a certain amount of development this summer,. The work will include the building of ecamps, the sinking of a shaft and other developments which will be commenced in the near future. ‘*At the head of the new company is Mr. J. D. Grant, formerly engaged in coal mining in Drumheller, Alberta, who has spent some time in the disâ€" trict examining the property. _ He has every faith in the project and looks forward to some big developâ€" ments in the near future. is claimed to be a seam of good qualiâ€" ty bituminous coal have been made. The company has over 2,500 acres of ground staked in the centre of activiâ€" ty, a part of which is on the projectâ€" ed branch line of the T. N.O. ‘‘In the district there have already been some develpments by the Mcâ€" Carthy interests. Mr. MeCarthy was the discoverer of the china clay deâ€" posits in the same neighborhood and has, with his associates, sunk a shaft into.the coal seam. ~It is claimed that there is also a seam of lignite coal in commercial quantities, and experts state that the district has the proper formation for coal deposits. _ â€"â€" ‘‘A company to be known as the Haileybury Mattagami Coal Mines Limited is being formed by local men here for the purpose of developing at least a portion of the Mattagami disâ€" trict where recent discoveries of what In recent issues of The Advance there have been several references to the new coal fields on the Mattagarai River, north of Cochrane. In one of these articles reference was made to a syndicate of Haileybury men formâ€" ed to carry on prospecting and deâ€" velopment work to test out this new coal field. In last week‘s issue The Haileyburian has the following to say in this matter:â€" HAILEVBURY COMPANY T0 DEVELOP MATTAGAMI COAL Have Over 2500 Acres Staked in Favourable Location and are _Very Optimistic.

They still have about $600,000 left for develâ€" opment. During the year 1925 there were 7,607 tons of ore hoisted. In five veins encouraging ore shoots were encountered in ecrosscuts which Power, Limited, and the necessary machinery for the change in frequenâ€" cy has been ordered as well as cerâ€" tain new machinery necessary for the deeper development of your mine. It is anticipated that the change over will not occasion any serious cessaâ€" tion of operations."‘ ‘"It is, however, encouraging to know that the deductions made from surface geology at the time work was first commenced by your company or associated companies ‘have been borne out as the work: at depth has proâ€" gressed. It is proposed during the current year to deepen the main shaft to 1,500 feet in order to thoroughly exploit the 1,250 feet and the 1,500 feet horizons. A contract for power of 25 cycle frequencey has been arâ€" ranged with the Northern Canada ‘*The presence of a large porphyry mass at these two before mentioned horizons would indicate that a furâ€" ther vigorous development programme at deeper levels will be necessary before an accurate forecast for the future of this property can be made, having in view the geological condiâ€" tions which pertain at producting mines adjoining your properties,"‘"‘ he continued. ‘‘A vigorous programme of develâ€" opment was agcomplished with a view to thoroughly exploiting the 700 feet and 1,000 feet levels of your mine and the results obtained were fairly successful,‘‘ said Col. R. W. Lemard, president. The annual meeting of the shareâ€" holders of the Coniaurum Mine was held recently at St. Catharines. The officers and directors were reâ€"elected without change.> The feeling of the meeting was optimistic and the reâ€" ports for the year past were consiâ€" dered as most encouraging.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Studebaker Big Six 5â€"Passenger Sedan The 5â€"Passenger Big Six Sedan is powered with the identical engine that carries hundreds of Studebaker busses over some of the most mountainous and difficultâ€"toâ€"travel roads in Americaâ€"hence we urge you to compare its thrilling performâ€" ance with that of any eightâ€"cylinder car. Based on the rating of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce and the Society of Automotive Engineers, only HIS is the car that has won a world tribute to Oneâ€"Profit manufacture; all over the globe, the Big Six Studebaker leads all highâ€"powered cars in sales volume. It leads because Oneâ€"Profit manufacturing facilities enable Studebaker to offer a sturdily built quality car, of tremendous excess mileage and of rated horsepower that cannot be equaled except at two to four times its price. Timmins MARSHALLâ€"ECCLESTONE, LLMITED Some people live and learn and some just live. The Continental Gold Mines Syndiâ€" cate was formed in January last for the purpose of developint three groups of property; one in Barraute township, one group adjoining Goulâ€" die‘s property and Huronian Belt in Fourniere township, andâ€" another south east of the O ‘Brien property in Cadillac township. It is understood that work started last week on the discovery made late last fall on the Continental Gold Mines Syndi¢ate property, Lots 9 and 10, range 2, township of Barraute, near Amos, Quebee. According to the Northern Miner, the work will consist of trenching at the start to ascertain the size of the vein, and prepare for diamond drillâ€" ing. What appears to be a very imâ€" portant gold discovery was made last fall, but too late to continue further development. WORK IN PROGRESS NOW ON CLAIMS NEAR AMOS 1924, but were not explored until last year. In addition to the veins eontaining ore, five others were found of which the gold ‘content is so low that they cannot yet be considered of economic importance. have partly developed by drifting. Some of these veins were foun:d in Ride in itâ€"feel the surge of power from the smooth, silent engine, compare its performance with the very finest "eights" as well as "sixes." Then you will know why the Big Six outâ€" sells all other cars of equal or greater rated horsepower. It has an automatic spark control, safety lighting switch on the steering wheel, gascline gauge on the dash. There‘s also an 8â€"day clock, automatic windshield cleaner, rearâ€"view mirror, cowl ventilator, stop light, air cleaner, gas and oil filters, inspecâ€" tion light on 10â€"foot cord. The Big Six 5â€"Passenger Sedan is a car built to hold five passengers in real comfort. The body is unusually large and roomy. Seats are luxuriously deep and restful. The chassis and engine are especially designed for the Studebakerâ€"built body. It is richly upholstered in genuine mohair. Body pillars are of northern white ashâ€"crossâ€"members of hard maple. seven American cars equal this Big Six Sedan in power. But they sell for two to four times its price. Each week for several weeks past The Advance. has. been publishing brief sketches showing the experience and other particulars about the playâ€" ers on the touring English F.A. team to visit Timmins on July 7th. Many have found these sketches of very special interest. One reader of The Advance says:â€"‘‘Each week I cut out and put away the one or two reâ€" views of players, and I am going to continue this as long as the sketches are publiskhed. In this way I will have a full review of each player on the visiting team by the time that the team comes here, and so will have a good line on all the team, and will be able to watch the match with ereater interest.‘‘ WHY NOT CLIP OUT AND KEEP SKETCHES OF F.A.
