"The Ontario legislators are conâ€" vinced that the bounty for a wolf pelt is high encugh, the farmers are conâ€" vinced that the Government is protectâ€" ing the wolves and not protecting the deer nor the sheep.

Why not increase the bounty for a period of five years? The action would not bankrupt the Province, and it might put an end to very many wolves. We have a surplus of $228,000 this year, and some of it should be earmarked for this purpose." C. G.I. T. Presenting Play and Programme, March 15 THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ) I "George Bannerman, one of the very early ones, had found gold in Whitney township, on what was afterwards called the Scottishâ€"Ontario property, and which is now the Canusa. I had staked rearly all the claims my licenses would stand, when one afternoon I had started out to record the claims and met Alec. Gillies and Benny Hollinger, with whom I was well acquainted. This meeting took place about a mile and a half east of Pearl Lake, on the line between conâ€" cessions two and three. We stopped for a chat and I told them I had done a lot of travelling in this township and had reached the conclusion from what I had seen that the Pearl Lake section looked the best. Their camp was then on Porcupine Lake but, taking my tip, they decided to go out for some more grub and to come back to Pearl Lake, to stake west of my claims. "I went out and was on the way back in two weeks later to do assessment work when I stopped on Slim Creek, on the Frederickhouse River, to have lunch. I got a hail from Hollinger, who had just come around a bend with his canoe. He said: ‘We are coming in to eat with you, and to show you something that will make you feel good.‘ He had samples from the original find on the Hollinger, and I think that apart from his partner, Gillies, I was the first man to see samples from the famous mine. ANOTHER STORY OF TAE DISGOVERY OF PORGUPINE Anson Cartwright came down from Deloro township in September, 1909 with samples of quartz showing fine, well disseminated gold. The samples were shown to G. E. H. Booth manager of LaRose, and Dr. E. F. Armstrong, one of the pioneers of Cobalt These two deâ€" cided to send Smith up to the section. W. H. Smith of Cobalt Telis How He Directed Hollinger and Gillies to the Big Find "A few days later we met Jack Miller coming down the Porcupine River. He staked west of Hollinger and Gillies. Tom Middleton had staked the Golâ€" dale, near Pearl Lake. I also saw where some prospecting had been done on the Newray veteran claims cornered on my stakings." One of the fascinating points in the story of the early Porcupine stakings is that of an old prospector who was camped at the track at mileage 228, the Jjumpingâ€"off place for the new field. The first night Smith spent there the old fellow came over and asked the dirâ€" ection in which he was going. He was told "to the west," in one of those vague, nonâ€"committtal phrases which prosâ€" pectors sometimes use. The old hardâ€" shell said: "I know, you are going up into Porcupine, and I tell you it is no use. I have been there for months, and it‘s no good." Weeks later Smith found him still there; in fact, he bought a blanket from him at five o‘clock one cold morning. The old fellow comâ€" plained later to other incoming prosâ€" pectors that somebody had made a deal with him when he was asleep, and tha: he woke up with a $10 bill around him in place of the Hudson Bay blankets with which he had gone to sleep. Leaving the railway at mileage 228 he went in to Deloro township. He followâ€" ed the Indian portage from the south end of the lake for about two and a half miles, where he camped for three weeks, prospecting west around the cast end of what is now Pearl Lake. He staked eight claims. In the inimitable Smith manner the narrative continues: "In this time 1 saw several prospectâ€" ors. I was down south one day and saw some of Wilson‘s men, who had the Dome Extension staked. George Burns was in charge, as Wilson was out for grub. This gang was working for C. W. Edwards, of Chicago They had camp:d on Porcupine Lake all summer, working on a nickel show in Shaw township, and had also staked part of the Dome. When Gillies and Hollinger came out fhey met the old fellow and showed him their samples. He immediately hopped on the train and was never seen again. It is just possible that of the many forâ€" tune hunters to pass over the riches of the famous Hollinger he was one and that, in the sudden realization of what he had missed, left the country where fortune had failed to smile on him.

POLIGYHOLDERS ADD A MILLION DOLLARS A DAY Metropolitan Life Has Record â€" Year â€"_ Is Owned by Policyholidâ€" ers â€" 2,613,867 â€"Are Canadians â€" Welfare Work Increasing. With nearly three miliion policies in force in Canada, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company activities are of personal interest to practically every home in Canada. On the basis of the Dominion‘s present population the policies in foree provide one for every third man, woman or child in the country. Sines the policyholders acâ€" tually own Metropolitan Life,. a mutual company, each one is vitally concerned with the progress of the Canadian policyholders amounted to $12,940,046. ® ever. *During 1928 between three and four million nursing visits were paid to Metropolitan policyholders. _ Of these 331,075 were visits to Canadian policyholders, being an average of over 1100 visits a day fTor every working day in the year. Over forty eight million pamphlets on health subjects were distributed free, nearly three million of them being in Canada. Since the inauguration ofthe welfare work nearly three and a half million nursing visits have been made in the Dominion, while almost twenty five million health booklets have been given away free whoere they could be expected to do the most good. Over three and a quarter billions of insurâ€" ance was written by Metropolitan in 1928, which makes the total outstandâ€" ing over sixteen billion, a world record. In‘Canada over two hundred and twelve millions was written, increasing the total in force here to over eight hundred and fifty millions, which is not so very far from a bilâ€" lion dollars. A feature of increasing interest to every Canadian is the growth in Metropolitan‘s C 1 investments}? which increased over $18,(WÂ¥,.0M last year to $171,318,170. In the twelve months, payments to enterprise. For this reason, the news that on every buginess day in 1928 the 26 million poficyhulders added a million dollars to the reserve fund, is particularly welceome. This great reserve fund is needed for the protecâ€" tion of the policyholders against the hazards of life and business, present and future. In the review 6f the year‘s activities attention is directed to the increasing interest taken in insurance. In old days insurance was taken ou! to take care of the breadwinner‘s dependents in case of death. While the original purpose is never lost sight of, life insurance today is largely and directly concerned with the business of living. It is arranged to provide education, to tide over accident and sickness idleness, and to enable the policyholders to build up a sound investment. Through group insurance employvers and employees are working together under an ideal insurance plan, while business mon are building needed credit for their business with life insurance policies. As the world‘s largest insurance company, Metroâ€" politan is planning, creating and coâ€" operating in these developments. Coâ€" incidentally, the Welfare Work is being continued on a larger seale than HENRY E. NORTH, Third Viceâ€"President ONTARIO‘S WILD LFE 1S SERIOUSLY THREATENED Depletion of Forests and Streams to be Deplored. Public Opinion Not Being Aroused as it Should be In an address to the Electric Club at Toronto last week Major Gregory Clark told a large gathering of intereste i hearers that Ontario is seling her capiâ€" tal stock of wild life to the tourist tâ€"adge for a misereable ten million dolars a year, while actually many times wJhat amount would not recompense this vince for the loss being sustain «. While Major Clark centered on ih> tourist trade as a factor in the depleâ€" tion of fish and game, he did not alâ€" together overlook the other factors conâ€" tributing to the conditions threatening. There is no doubt that unless Ontario adopts some different policy to that used up to the present this province will eventually wake up to find fish and game practically all gone. In some sections of the North Land this condiâ€" tion has already developed. In 1911 an investigation was made at the request of the tiny minority of pessimists and a report was made that wild life already at that time was seriâ€" ously threatened by the tourist traffic which amounted that year to only $100,000. "Last year we received $10,â€" 000,000 and it is mounting in geometric progression each year," Major Clark deâ€" clared. "Angling licenses have already been issued this yvear to 45,000 tourists." Power development has also seriousâ€" ly injured wild life, in Major Clark‘s opinion. The Nipigon river which was at one time the greatest trout stream in the world, now possesses the finest power plant. About 15 years ago states to the south, Vermont Pennsylvania, New York, Maine, Wisconsin and Minnesota realized that they were improperly exâ€" ploiting their natural resources, and they took steps to restore them. "In a few years, just about when Ontario is skinned clean, we‘ll probably be going there for our holidays," Major Clark stated. Canadians are fearfully optimisliz, Major Clark said, and the pessimists to whose ranks he claims to cling are finding it difficult to bring about a realization of the results attending the depletion of the forests ana streams of their inhabitants. A couple of years ago biologists and government officials learned that by opening the bass season on June 15, hundreds of young were left unprotectâ€" ed every time an angler caught a male parent, thus destroying the supply of the third year later. The season was then shortened to July 1. "It is not a matter of restocking but of conserving." Major Clark said, "beâ€" cause the natural balance of sunfish and perch with the bass has been desâ€" troyed in many lakes by man joining the ranks against the bass, and since, it is practically impossible to net the enemy fish the government is almost powerless to reinhabit those lakes with bass.
