i ~Now, let them look it over! A city of 15,000, with an assessment of $6,â€" 000,000.00, with 1,200 homes and 400 business places, with threeâ€"storey and fourâ€"storey brick and tile business blocks, paved streets, miles of cement sidewalks, upâ€"toâ€"date sewer system, ‘electric â€"street lighting, waterworks system, incinerator ~disposal plant, the most upâ€"toâ€"date fire department in the North Land, a million dollars inâ€" vested in schools, including large modern public, separate and high schools, five churches, three big theaâ€" tres, upâ€"toâ€"date hotels (one of themâ€" the Empireâ€"truly the ‘*Pride of the North"), local and long distance teleâ€" P o C i oo ce se [ s M ks i L t * * * *%1 iseventeen years ago the prospecâ€" tors had not even visited this cityâ€" yerâ€"{ioâ€"be, Bush and muskeg, sand plain and lake, with rocks rising barâ€" ren here and there. That was sevenâ€" teen years ago, when the prospectors might have viewed it, but they did not come this far. The lakes of seventeen years ago are filled, the bush of sev renteen years ago are cut down or burned, the face of â€"earth and rock are altered almost beyond recognition. _ Thriving towns replace the Woods of seventeen years ago. _ Pottsvill®@ and Golden City, tlm\m“ and hustling mining villages crew up on the shores of Poreupine Lake. Then came the town of South Poreupine, followed later by the towns of Schumacher and Timmins. There was a pretty lake just across from where the T. N. O. station now stands. The lake has passed, like the moose. It is filled up with treated rock from the big mine. . Over $160,000,000.00 in bullion has been taken from the mines of the Poreuâ€" pine since the day seventeen years ago when the bull moose watched the prospecting party. Previous to that day the moose saw no human beings here, except an occeasional Indian or a worker for the Hudson Bay Comâ€" pany. _ Toâ€"day about twenty thou- sand people may be found within the runway of the moose of seventeen vears ago. Timmins is the biggest of the new townsâ€"a icity in size and in its modern equipment, On May 12th, 1909, two large bull moose came out of the bush quite close to where the Wilson party was preparing dinner. Bull moose! The moose part has gone from the district these many years. Seventeen years ago the country was all heavily wooded. . Now, the timber, like the moose, is rapidly disâ€" appearing from the Poreupine. Of the two groups of prospectors, only Messrs Bannerman and Preston are now in the district. In an interview with The Advance last week Mr. Harry A. Preston said that seventeen years ago the first prospecting party to reach this part of the Poreupine arrived at Porecupine Lake. The party included Messrs, J. S. Wilson, Harry Preston, Geo, Burns, Frank Campbell and Clifton Campâ€" bell, with some Indian guides. A few days later Messrs Geo. Bannerman and Tom Geddes arrived on the site of what was later to become Canada‘s greatest gold camp. ‘ What changes have taken place since the Wilson and Bannerman parâ€" ties camped on Porcupine Lake in 1909 MANY CHANGES NOTED IN PAST SEVENTEEN YEARS.

The second half was not very old when the Cornish came down in line. Street got a pass from Williams and shot. Proulx saved, and Street gave the rebound a firstâ€"time kick and scored, Proulx having no chancee to save. â€" Williams tried soon after with a nice high corner shot, which Proulx saved nicelv. Wills, at the other end, pulled off two dandies that looked like sure goals. The Cornish played the best combination and were dangerous at all times. Shaw â€"got through, but failed to score. ‘The match finished Cornish Oneâ€"andâ€"All, 3; Holly Rees. The first half was in favour of the Cornish Oneâ€"andâ€"All, a 2â€"1 seore Street and Toms both netted for the Cornish, while Shaw got the Recreaâ€" tion‘s only tally. The Cornish Oneâ€"andâ€"All changed their team around. Street played at centre and was effective in front of the net. Taylor and Toms played their usual fine game. â€" Higman interâ€" cepted well during the match and gave Stanwich some nice passes. Williams is also a hard worker and has a very true shot. Shaw, of the Recreation, was the best of the forwards and is tricky with the ball. MceKenzie put in a good game but was checked close. Wilson and Leonard played well at back. The Recreation had a number of new men on their team®and it was a good workâ€"out for them. Although their team was affected by the change, they put up a good match. Proulx in mml showed up very well and apâ€" pears to have the makmgs of an able goalie, The match: between the Cornish Oneâ€"andâ€"All and the Hollinger Reereâ€" ation Football Club on Tuesday night in aid of the V.O.N.
