NOTHING NEW IN REGARD TO NIGHT HAWK PENINSULAR Paragraphs appearing in a number of outside newspapers refer to a meetâ€" ing that is said to have failed to materialize in regard to the Night Hawk Peninsular. The fact seems to be that there was no such meeting tormally called. The newspapers had been foretelling what was about to happen to the Night Hawk Peninsular ind went so far that some explanaâ€" tion was eventually necessary to show why the plans were not going along as indicated. The meeting that did not materialize was the ingenious reply of the newspapers. As a matter ot fact there does not seem to have seen any real foundation for the unk that had been published in the matter. There was no deal of the kind indicated under consideration by the Night Hawk Peninsular. For the mmediate present there is no news of the property, none of the plans for reâ€"opening having yet reached a stage vhen there is material information Preparations are now under way for the reception and entertainment of the touring party on its visit here. The econgress will receive due honour here just as it will receive its due elsewhere. At Ottawa the delegates will have the honour of being received by their excellencies the Governorâ€" (ieneral and Lady Willingdon. It is becoming more generally realâ€" ized each day that the holding in Canada of the second triennial conâ€" vress ofâ€"the British Empire Mining ard Metallurgical Congress is one of the most unportant happenings for mining and for the North Land. The programme for congress includes a tour of the Dominion.> Timmins and the Poreupine will be visited and it is believed that much of advantage will result for this district. The conâ€" zress, including as it does, some of the greatest mining experts in the world will give very desirable publicâ€" ity to the country and its mining inâ€" dustry and possibilities. _ No doubt the visit will be followed by greater interest in this great gold camp, and an increase in the amount of British capital invested here. Many of the outstanding leaders of mining in the Empire will thus receive firstâ€"hand knowledge of this country‘s mining felds. oPEGIAL HONOURG FOR EMPIRE MINING GONGRESS Will be Received at Ottawa by Governorâ€"General and Lady Wilâ€" lingdon.

He was eviâ€" dently a Finlander, but none of his countrymen here who were approached knew him. Eventually through the coâ€"operation of a number of Finnish citizens a man was found to identify the dead man. The body proved to be that of John Holakola, of Hoyle, It is said that the dead man had a farm in the Hoyle district, but no details are available. So far as has been learned up to the time of writing this, Holakola has no relatives or near friends in this country. He was between 40 and 45 years of age to judge by appearances. He ordered the removal of the body, and later had the doctors hold a post mortem on the body. Death was found to be due to heart trouble, apâ€" parently aegravated or induced by exâ€" cessive drinking. A jury inquest was not necessary as the facts of the case were clear. On Saturday morning about 5.30 the police were notified that there was a man lying by the sidewalk opposite 85 Fifthâ€", avenue . either very ill or dead. They made a hurried trip to the scene and found the body of a man who had been dead only a short time. _ There was a cigarette still between his lips and though growâ€" ing cold the body had not yet stiffenâ€" ed inâ€"death. The coroner, Mr. H. E. Montgomery, was immediately notiâ€" fied and arrived at once on the scene. The chief trophy for the Northern Ontario Golf Tournament is the handâ€" some cup donated by the T.

There was a large attendance and everybody had a fine time. The event was the sort of pleasant success that is now inseparâ€" ably associated with the idea of the Oddfellows‘ picnic. In addition to the representation fromâ€" the South Porcupine and Timmins lodges there was the usual big attendance of the general public. The sports and athleâ€" ties were much enjoyed. The races for children were, as usual, a special feature. Another big feature was the softball game between teams from the Timmins and South Poreupine lodges. Timmins won this feature with a score around 40 to 2. Booths on the grounds were of the usual benefit to those attending the pienic, while tea and coffee were furnished free to all. The weather was excellent, the rain keeping off until the picnice was over and every one was ready for home.

This morning The Advance received the following teleâ€" gram from Mr. Alec Dewer, president of the Northern Associated Boards of Timmins, Ont. An informed by Dej Northern Developmen hichwavy., Cochrane tc Bornâ€"At the College Hospital, Toâ€" ronto, on Friday, July 29th, 1927, to Mr. and Mrs. E. Kimberley, of Beamsville, Ont., formerly of Timâ€" mins,â€"a son. Mr. J. D. Brady, secretary of the Rod and Gun Club, this week received word that fifty cans of speckled trout were being consigned to Timmins for use in the rivers and lakes near here. Thirty cans will be here this week, and the other twenty cans will be shipped next week. Both shipments will come from the Dominion Hatchâ€" eries at Sault Ste Marie, Ont. The live fish being sent here will be placed in the waters of the district to reâ€" plenish, the\ fish life. The consignâ€" ment is an unusually large one and should prove of great service, _ In past years there have been shipments for the replenishing of the district waters, but never before so generous a quantity. The fact that all the fish are speckled trout is also of particular interest. There are ten streams of the district that will be reâ€"stocked from these shipments. The first shipâ€" ment is going forward this week and the second will be sent from Sault Ste. Marie next week. Those interâ€" ested in the conservation of the fish of the North will be particularly inâ€" terested in the big shipments for reâ€" stocking the district waters, and due credit will be given to the Governâ€" ment and the Rod and Gun Club in the matter. FIFTVY GANS SPECKLED , TROUT FOR NEARBY WATERS In view of the fact that up to the present the necessary license papers have not been available here, there has naturally been no action taken by the authorities to enforce the law requirâ€" ing the securing of a permit or license by each and every driver. After a reasonable time, however, it may be fully expected that anyone without the required license will have considâ€" erable explaining to do. It would accordingly be the part of wisdom for all to secure the necessary license at the earliest time. Rod and Gun Club to Receive Valuâ€" able Consignment from Sault Ste. Marie Hatchery. Mr. H. C.

These licenses, so far as The Advance can learn will be available to all requiring them about the 18th of this month. Mr. Garner will hereafter also handle the issuung of the car markers for the town. As ithe law now reads all drivers of automobiles of any kind must have drivers‘ licenses. It makes no difâ€" ference whether a man or woman owns the car or not, or that the car is not used for hire or gain in any way. The fact is that under the new law no one is permitted to drive a car unless he or she hag_a permit. Those who have driven®ta certain disâ€" tance to show that they have the necessary knowledge and skill to operâ€" ate a car safely are granted permits without â€" examination. _ Those who have had no driving experience are required to pass a Itest.

Gough passed away from the effects of taking stryechnine. The late Mr. Gough had been for years a valued employee of the Hollinger and enjoyed the regard of all who knew him. He had served overseas, being wounded in the head, but had apparently fully recovered from his injuries until recently when he appeared to be in rather melanâ€" choly state of mind. He threatened to end®his life on some recent occaâ€" sions, and appeared to be in desponâ€" dent mood following recent troubles. Some days ago he ‘took some beer down the mine and was later found asleep at his work. He was repriâ€" manded for this, but because he was so faithful an employee usually he was not discharged as would normally happen. The mining inspector howâ€" ever, had to lay a charge against him for taking intoxicants underground and he had been summoned to appear in icourt to answer to the charge this week. Although not discharged he insisted upon quitting his work, and took the trouble to heart very keenly. ()n more than one oceasion he said he would "end it all,"‘"‘ but was perâ€" suaded otherwise by his wife, who watched him carefully. By pretendâ€" ing that bhe was going trapping he secured some strychnine from a local drug store, saying that he wished to kill foxes. Taking this bottle home, he started to take some of the poison, but his wife managed to snatch the bottle from him and dash it on a stone. She then went to a neighâ€" bour‘s to secure help. On her reâ€" turn she found that the bottle had not broken and that Mr. Gough had taken some of the poison. Medical aid was hastily summoned and all possible was done to save the man‘s life, but he died in a few hours. The late J. E. Gough was a native of Nova Scotia and had been in the Poreupine camp for some years. He was an experienced and efficient miner, alâ€" ways trustworthy and reliable. He enjoyed the respect of all and the highest regard of those who knew him.
