Grand Jury Threw Out the Highgrading Charge At the Sessions of the Peace last week at Cochrane the only case on the docket was that of George Tikalo, charged with highâ€"grading. The grand jury threw out the case, and as a result court was over in about an hour. The petit jurors were not required and those from out of town were able to get home again the same day. The case of George Tikalo, who was an emâ€" ployee of the Hollinger Mine, was based in the charge of the theft of gold ore from the property. The Crown alleged that, on November 23 last, Tikalo had been searched when he came off shift and that several pieces of ore, valued at from one to five dollars, were found in his clothing. He was said to have admitted having taken the ore from the winze in which he had been workâ€" ing.

"Within three days of the tragedy in which four lives were lost at Monckâ€" lans on Tuesdays, insurance claims or policies taken out by two of the victims were paid to the beneficiaries. Rose and Laura Geroux, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Octave Geroux, who were both killed in the accident, held paidâ€" up policies in the Metropolitan Life Insurance company at the time. Learnâ€" ing of the accident, J. J. Lynch, manaâ€" ger of the insurance company‘s branch at Timmins Northern Ontario, teleâ€" graphed S. Levy, Cornwall manager that the two girls were insured by the company. Mr. Levy immediately get in touch with the head office of the company at Ottawa and was instructed to pay the claims on both policies upâ€" on presentation, without the usua: delay of sending the claim through proper channels. Bruno Oscar Geroux, 24, brother of the two girls, visited Mr. Levy in his office here yesterday and received the cheque for almost $2,000 from him in payment of the claims. The girls were each insured under the double indemnity plan. Mr. Geroux expressed appreciation of the prompt and courteous action of the company."

Blanket Staking Must Stop Says Judge of Mining Court Judge Godson pointed out that obâ€" servations were made during the hearâ€" ing of several cases before the court during a recent sitting at Sudbury, and while his remarks are not applied to these cases particularly they provided the opportunity for laying down a deâ€" cision that has been pending for some Hundreds of Prospectors on the Trail New Towns Building Up North of The Pas Despite the disastrous fire that wiped out a large part of the new mining town of Cranberry Portage recently, ‘The Northland, the newspaper of the district where "the rail meets the trail," is to hand, bright and newsy, and full of optimism. The upper secâ€" tion of the town of Cranberry Portage was practically destroyed. Only half a dozen buildings and the railroad watâ€" er tank were left in that section of the town. The office of The Northlant escaped, though the fire crept close to it. A fire wall has been built around the town to lessen the danger from any further bush fires. It is worthy of note that there is not a single note of pessimism in the good paper of Cranberry Portage. Everyâ€" thing is optimistic for the future of this new mining area. Among the articles in the issue just to hand, The Northâ€" land has one headed "Four Cities Preâ€" dicted," and reading as followsâ€" ramote from transportation to do as I feel is being done in isolated cases and if the practice is not stopped it is fearâ€" ed it will grow into a custom. "The Mining Court is largely a court of equity, and he who comes into it must come with clean hands. I desire to retain the confidence of the prospecâ€" tors and to have confidence in their honesty. When a case comes before the court, I expect the litigants to put all the evidence honestly and clearly before it in order that a preper deterâ€" mination may be arrived at. Mining claims are not real estate, nor to be dealt with as such. The area to be staked is presumed to be mineral land and a licensee who secures the right to stake such mineral land has imposed upon him the strict duty of filling the requirements of the Mining Act, which are not onerous." "I am also impressed with the fact that some licensees actually record claims that have not been staked and their information is gained by looking at the plans and maps in the Recordâ€" ing office, which show certain lands to be open. "These are unmoral acts and I feel that the licensees do not conceive that they are committing an offence morally and legally.

"I would be sorry to see even one brought into the Criminal Court to answer a charge of this kind, as it would refilect on the whole profession," he stated.

At the present time, active preparaâ€" tions are being rushed at Flin Flon to accommedate the 2,500 men, who will be employed in the largest potential mining .development in the province. "At Cold Lake more than a thousand persons have preceded the steel, and with the Sherrittâ€"Gordon development going ahead, this figure should be more than doubled soon. Work at Churchâ€" ill is proceeding apace and when carâ€" goes and passengers are carried daily to this port it will become another metroâ€" polis of the north. Cranberry Portage, which, a year ago was nothing but a carryâ€"over for trappers and prospectors, is now a thriving centre of northern commerce, taking its place as a distribution point for the large mining area contiguous. The populations of these four towns are constantly increasing and it has been predicted that in the not far distant future the censusâ€"taker will be able to count between five and seven thousand noses in each of them. wWith more than 1,000 prospectors ready to take the fledd just as soon as breakâ€"up comes, this season promises to be the best in the history of mining in Northern Manitoba. Within the past two weeks, scores of men repreâ€" senting big financial interests have visited The Pas, and many of them have already made arrangements with prospectors to stake for them. â€"There have also been many tentative deals made for the taking over of proâ€" perties, of which little has been ixeard but which are reported to be THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Sudbury Star:â€""This is the cat‘s whiskers.

FORD CAR HOUDAILLE HYDRAULIC SHOCK ABSORBERS See New and Used Cars opposite Post Office, Schumacher or at 86 Thnrd Ave., Timmins or phone 960 for a Demonstration OUDAILLE Hydraulic Shock Absorbers, four to every Ford car, are entirely defensive in their action since they remain inactive and in neutral position on smooth roads. Let a wheel encounter the slightest depression or bump, however, and they respond with the velvet precision of a cat‘s paw. Horvdaille Shock Absorbers were not adapted to the Ford car after it was built, but were part of the speciâ€" fications laid down by the Ford engineers as they planned the car. Therefore, Houdailles, their powerâ€" ful operation coordinated, became integral parts of the complete chassis. It is for this reason that they function with such perfect efficiency on the Ford Houdailles absorb both the upward and downward thrust of the shock through slowing the spring action by means of a heavy glycerine solution, which is forced through a small valve from one compartment to another. They check the rebound of the car softly, exert no tension on the springs and are always ready to offer resistance to the blow when and as required. In fact, the more severe the shock, the more effectively Houdailles operate. # Diferent from any other shock absorber, the Houdailie connecting link between the frame and the axle of the car is a stgel arm, not just a fabric strip to wear out and be replaced. Adjustable to suit differing rord conditions and various loads, the Houdaille is more than a shock absorber and more than a snubber. Inspect the Ford car carefully part by part. Then know the thrill of driving it. By its performance you will realize the easy riding comfort of an Houdaille equ‘.oped Ford. Positiveâ€"Smoothâ€" Double Actingâ€" ..Bert Harmer, whose home is in New Liskeard, but who has been working in Red Lake, received word some days ago by radio that his sister, Mrs. Ray Latâ€" timore had died in Detroit, after an operation. Without the modern invenâ€" tion of the radio, it would have taken days, and perhaps, weeks, to reach the brother in Red Lake,. while through the use of the radio it was possible to get in touch with him almost at once. He was brought out to Sioux Lookout by plane, another modern invention, conâ€" tinuing his hurried journey home by modern train. The late Mrs. Lattiâ€" more was a daughter of Wm. Harmer, wellâ€"known farmer of Kearns townâ€" ship near New Liskeard. She lived in Kearns township until a couple of years ago, when the family moved to Detroit. The body was brought to the North for interment in the Milberta cemetery, the funeral being held last week.
