The success of the convention was ce to the local firemen who worked nard to make all arranxsâ€"ments perfect so that everything went through without a hitch. Three men of the bigade deserve special mention in this regardâ€"â€" Chief Wilkes, Assistant Chief hen- nedy and J. 8. Brown. Messrs Kenâ€" nedy and Brown were the delegates to the convention repressnting the Joâ€" cal brigade and their efforts added to Chlef Wilkes were mainly responâ€" sible for the smoothness with w h)cl. everything went. Firemen of Temiskammg Convene at Iroguois Falls The annual convention of the Teâ€" miskaming Firemen‘s Association was held at Iroquois Falls on Thursday of last week. The following report of the event isâ€"available for The Adâ€" vance readers through the coumgesy of Mr. Alec Dewar, of Iroquois Falls, editor of The Broke Hustler:â€" Eleventh Annual Convention of Fire Brigades the Most Successful Yet Held in the North Land. Visitors Banâ€" quetted Last Thursday Evening by the Iroquois Falls Brigade. | The brigades represented _ were Cochrane, Kirkland Lake, Englehart, Schumacher, Ansonville, Cobalt, New Liskeard, South Poreupine, Haleyâ€" bury and Kapuskasing. _ The on!ly brigade which did not send delegates was Timmins. Villé Marie which was a member last year, dropped out as their brigade is entirely French and they figured the Association was not of much use to them as oll the disâ€" cussions were in Englisa. ‘Their reâ€" signation was accepted but Chief Tremblay was made a life member of the Association and the secretary was instructed to notify them that any information the Association bad was always at their disposal. for Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis and all Lung trouble GUARZAHTEED, take no other, none just as good.

We ctecteoteobectantarte iens Sndfi etente cfante ste dealing with the attitude of firemen to report hazards; ‘* Volunteer FKireâ€" men as viewed by the Public‘‘ by Mr. Carter of Cochrane; ‘‘Firstâ€"aid‘"* by H. H. Costain of the Dome Mines; and an elaborate paper in the form of ‘‘Questions and Answers‘‘ on fire fighting by Chief J. C. Jucksch, Schuâ€" macher. This paper formed the centre of the most interesting discussion of the day as it dealt with cellar fires, chimney fires, when to break down walls, opening of windows, oils and explosives, when to ‘he careful in the use of water, etec. The discussion on these points, while too long to pubâ€" lish, was extremely interesting and would result in a lot of benefit to all the firemen as many of those controâ€" versal points were pretty will _ settled. Inspection Did Wonders Mr. Grant, mayor of Haleybury, asked in connection with chimney fires that Chief Lever and Chief Thompâ€" son report what they had found out from an inspection in the past fall. They reported that they had engaged a man to inspect all chimneys and enâ€" forced the regulation with the result that they had not had a chimney fire this year.. Chief Caswell of Cochrane said that an inspection of chimneys and stove pipes in Cochrane had reâ€" duced their fires from fiftyâ€"five to fifteen in the year. a dwelling were injured or some of the firemen were injured and firstâ€"aid was a vital necessity. The Associaâ€" tion greeted the~suggestion enthusiâ€" astically and the new executive will see what can be done towards putting it in foree. A number of brigades alâ€" ready have trained firstâ€"aid men. Mr. Costain‘s paper was a plea for firstâ€"aid training for firemen as it frequently happened that inmates of THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO. was very emphatic in saying that the reason the loss had ‘been reduced so much was that the firemen realized the necessity of getting on the spot quickly and prompt response to fire alarms had been the chief cause in the reduction and waste. The great facâ€" tor in decreasing fire waste was not so much in upâ€"toâ€"date appliances as in the attitude of the community and the firemen alike which meant prompt attention to even the slightest fire. There had been a great change in atâ€" titude. It used to be ‘"‘put out a fire,"‘ now the slogan is "*prevent fires.‘‘ Mr. Heaton paid a great eontribuâ€" tion to the Firemen‘s Association sayâ€" ing he wouldn‘t miss a meeting for a good deal. That he found their meetâ€" ings a source of hope and inspiration to himself; he emphasized also the point brought out by several of the speakers, that municipal inspection of buildings was the greatest need of the day as regards fire prevention. Election of Officers The election of officers resulted as follows :â€" Presidentâ€"Chief R. J. \Iathleson, Cobalt. Viceâ€"Presidentâ€"Chicf P. H. Kenâ€" nedy, Iroquois Falls. Secretaryâ€"Chief F. E. Thompson, New Liskeard. During the meeting all the deleâ€" gates rose and stood for two minutes with bowfed heads as a memorial to the deteased firemen. On motion of Messrs Wilkes and Heaton it was deâ€" cided for future conventions to arâ€" range a memorial service for their dead to be held at noon hour. The convention finished with a very: fine banquet given in the town hall by the local association. The banquet was put on by the ladies of St. Mark‘s church who deserve very great credit for the excellent meal provided, for the splendidly arranged table and for the very fine service. It was one of the best banquets put on here for years. The blessing was asked. by Rev. Mr. Vowles of the United Church. Chiecf Wilkes Good Toastmaster Chief T. W. Wilkes acted as toastâ€" master and did it in such a manner that the people of the town were proud of their fire chief, After the toast to the King, the **Temiskaming Firemen‘s Association‘‘ was proposâ€" ed by Fire Marshall Heaton and reâ€" sponded to by Chief H. W. Wilson of South Poreupine. _ Chief Mathieson the new president was then called on to make his first address in his new official eapacity. ‘‘Our Visitors‘‘ was proposed by Alex Dewar and respondâ€" ed to by Chief F. E. Thompson and Chief Caswell. _ _ ‘Forest Protection Service‘‘ was proposed by H. G. Schanche and replied to by iC. R. Mills of the Forest Protection Service in Toronto. The "‘town‘‘ was proposed by Max Smith of South Poreupine and responded to by Mayor Ebbitt and T. A. McDonald, Rev. Father Pelâ€" letier was also to have spoken but as Father Jodoin had been called out of town through the illness of his broâ€" ther, he was unable to be present. ‘"‘The Troquois Falls Fire Brigade"‘ was proposed by Rev. W. P. Griffiths and responded to by W. J. Tierney, the daddy of the firemen in Iroquois Falls. Other speakers were Mr. Meâ€" Gill of Cochrane, Mr. Lake of the Norâ€" thern Electric, Mr. Thomas of the American Lafrance, Mayor Ivy of Cochrane and Arthur Leroux, Reeve of Calvert. GOGARANE 1A0S TO PLAY TVXIG HIRE OX The Tigers were the Only Team Able to Defeat the Timmins Tuxis Boys Last Season The Cochrane Tigers will play the Timmins Tuxis here at the Timmins rink on Saturday of this week, Feb. 12th, at 5 p.m. The match is one of those to decide the boys‘ hockey championship of the district. _ The Timmins Tuxis boys have not suffered a single defeat this season. â€" Last year the Cochrane Tigers were the only ones to win from the Timmins lads. The Tuxis, however, are going to dig right in to see that the Tigers do not carry away this honour this year. In any event the match on Saturday will be a good one and specially worth seeing. All hockey fans should be there. The hockey played by the Tuxis boys the present season holds out good promise of a fine Junior team for Timmins in e mâ€" ng seasons, with an allâ€"homeâ€"brew lineâ€"up. In the meantime it does apâ€" pear as if the general public should give very hearty encouragement to the good hockey and the good sportsâ€" manship shown. It may also be noted that the reguâ€" lar league games for the Tuxis boys are played every Thursday evening at 7 pm., before the Mines League games. _ The game this (Thursday) evening is the Moose vs. the Tuxis team. RAILING PUT ON S§A§RS TO GORDO ASEMENT In referring to the fadt that three ladies last \\eek had fa]]en while goâ€" ing down the stairwAy to the baseâ€" ment of the Gordon /block w here the public library is situated, The Adâ€" vance suggested that a hand railing should be erected on the stairs for the public protection. _ In certain weaâ€" thers the stairs are particularly danâ€" serous, and the lack of a hand=â€"rail made it practically imposs{fble for anyvone to save themselves a fall in ‘ase of slipping on the ice or water on the : steps. On Thursday morning one such hand railing was erected. This is another indication of the value of advertising in The Advance. The railing adverâ€" tised for was to hand even before the paper contalnmg the request was isâ€" sued, which is assuredly very â€"prompt serv iae The Advance can not alâ€" ways guarantee as speedy returns as this, but it can assure all and sundry and everybody else that these columns will lnmp; returns sooner or later, and ofteniimes, sooner. %@fi%fi%%fifi%fi%fifi%fi%fi%fi%fi%fi%@ on sg s )RDON BASE o th_e ,fld( thz}t ROUYN LIKELY TO HAVE SEVERAL GOLD MINZS It is quite true that copper is the big thing in the Rouyn camp, but at the same time the straight gold mines are not to be overlooked. Rouyn was first prospected for gold, and then it was found that copperâ€"mining would prove theâ€"more profitable, with gold as a side issue. _ Hence the field is often referred to as a copperâ€"gold camp. The same idea holds good in ragard to Kamiskotia. The Kamisâ€" kotio area lhas been prospected for many years for gold, and there is no (oubt that it holds gold in commerâ€" clal quantities, But the copperâ€"minâ€" ing possibilitiecs for the present overâ€" shadow the more ~<precious metal: However, it is practically certain that no matter what succeess may be enâ€" countered by the copperâ€"gold mines, that sooner or later the straight gold mining in certain parts of the area will be most important. In the Rouyn fields, while the copâ€" per ore is the outstanding thing at the moment, there is every chance of the esta‘blishment of straight gold mining on a material sceale. As a correspondent from Rouyn points out, Towagmac is among the companies with good chanees to have what proâ€" mises of being a profitable gold mine. This is in addition to the holdings on which big copper deposits are under development.â€" Huronian Belt is atso holding a property at Pelletier Lake in Rouyn Township on which a subâ€" shmtml shoot of commereial gold ore is in sightâ€"having been examined by a test pit to 15 feet in depth. â€" Assays in the testâ€"pit show upwards of $15 per ton in gold.__ Quebec Gold Belt (now hbeing incorporated into Rubee Mines), is also a holdervof property adâ€" jacent to Huronian Belt and on which a big goldâ€"bearing vein is in evidence. This is in addition to the areas which carry copper. It is also noted that there are two very imposing showings of gold ore on Noranda Mines. One of these is about 100 feet in width on the Chadbourne claim of Norandaâ€" and is carrying an average of about $5 per ton. Still another deposit of somewhat higher grade is in evidence on the north part of Noranda. _ A crosscut is even now being driven to interseet this deposit at the 300 foot level. a A f MWt f M % a You needâ€" individual attention to bring out your individual attracâ€" tiveness â€" and that‘s whatâ€" you receive at this salon â€"â€" scientific, polite treatmert that restores the bloom of beauty.
