While some sewerage work was in conâ€" struction here some years ago some gold ore was found by workmen, but as the piece of rock had evidently been part of the roadway, no one became very | excited about it, as it only showed that,, the mine from which the road had come | had some gold in its structure, which | was no more than might be expected. Sewer construction at South Porcupine and Schumacher had similar incidents. On many occasions in this camp when rock is being used for road construcâ€" tion, some workmen is almost sure to| notice a piece carrying free gold. As the rock usually comes from the dumps of one of the mines in the district, it would be surprising if such finds could not be made. People of the Porcupine camp have always been naturally inâ€" terested in any finds of this kind but they have also been amused at the exâ€" citement shown by some outside people : and papers. Finds of gold ore in the| rock used for roads in the North al-l ways seems to make a big hit with the daily newspapers and»~as it does not do anyone any harm and is apparently a matter of general interest no one. here has found fault with any pubhci- ty given the streets of the North Land‘ towns that are "paved with gold." l At the present time Kir«kland Lake is in the daily limelight on account of gold finds made while the work of pavâ€" ing the Kirkland Lakeâ€"Swastika highâ€" way has been in progress. Rock for grading the highway is being taken from the Tughâ€"Oakesâ€"Burnside waste rock dump, this being the most conâ€" venient source of broken rock. The contractors it is understood bought the rock at the price of 25 cents per ton. While the rock was being run through the road crusher it was noted that some pieces of the ore showed visible gold. There was, of course, more or less of a "rush" among the workmen to get "samples‘‘ and the matter created much interest. Kirkland Lake people now tell outsiders that their roads are literâ€" ally ‘"paved with gold." TO MANAGE NEW BRANCH OF THE MOYSEY CO. IN TORONTO Last week Toronto newspapers carâ€" ried a halfâ€"tone picture of J. E. Grassâ€" ett, manager for some years of the Timmins branch of the Bank of Comâ€" merce and leaving here a couple of weeks ago for Toronto to join the staff of the A. E. Moysey Co. The Torâ€" onto Mail and Empire published Mr. Grassett‘s picture with the following paragraph:â€""J. E. Grassett, of the brokerage house of Arthur E. Moysey Company, Limited, mining brokers, who will manage a new branch office of the company to be located on the ground floor of the new Standard Stock and Mining Exchange building, 33 Temperance street. For the past 27 years Mr. Grassett has been connected with the Canadian Bank of Commerce, and for the last six years was manager at the Timmins branch." Ottawa Journal:â€"Failing to make a bid of four spades, a Missouri man was told by his wife he was a bum bridge player and when he slapped her face she produced a revolver and shot him dead. This is what is known as action bridge. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO came to be discovered. According to \ Canaidan Forest and Outdoors, the | journal of the Canadian Forestry Asâ€" "smiatlon. the discovery, like many other important ones, was accidental. | A German papermaker, while wanderâ€" | ing through the Hartz Mountains, acâ€" cidentally stepped into a wasp‘s neet. Valour evidently overcoming discretion, ‘he stayed to examine it, and being | struck with its softness and flexibility, | was certain that pulverized wood was .used in its manufacture. Experiments were made by means of an ordinary grindstone; with water as a softener, spruce was ground on the stone, and with the addition of rag pulp a very | good sheet of paper was turned out. It | was many years, however, before the | importance of the German papermakâ€" ‘er‘s discovery was fully appreciated. } Since the German papermaker made |\h‘s discovery, the uses of pulp have extended beyond anything the German papermaker ever dreamed of. Not only | is the use of it in paperâ€"making extendâ€" ‘ed to a degree that would have been impossible years ago, but other ‘uses have been found for pulp from making "silk ties" to raiilway engine wheels. i Woxd pulp forms a material factor | in the industrial life of this North Land settlers and others, as well as those concerned in the paper industry and allied lines, benefiting from its use. 'Accordmglv there may be interest in the manner in which the use of pulp Story of the Origin of Geo. Taylor Hardware Ltd In conneciion with the use of the word, "wildeat‘" in reference to doubtâ€" ful mining ventures, it may be interesâ€" ing to learn the origin of the term. As a matter of fact there have been remarkably few "wildcats" in this minâ€" ing seciion. Once at a board of trade banquet here a diamond drill expert said that he did not know of a single property in the Porcupine area that had been properly financed and effiâ€" ciently managed that had not sooner or later made good. The claim has never been successfully refuted. There may, of course, be mining ventures that have failed in the Porcupine because they were not properly financed or had poor management.‘ There may even have been some that did not have gold in commercial quantities. But none of these indicate the "wildcat" type of mining company. The "wildeats" are those without known merit, and where no one is trying to prove any real merit but the whole purpose is to gather funds from the public by means of what is called "ballyhoo" in the Unitâ€" ed States. In the earlier days of the Porcupine there were a few genuine wildeats, but compared to other camps the number was very small. A man who loses money in a mining venture is apt to cry "wildceat," though the term may not be at all appropriate. In many cases the promoters may have last more money that anybody else. In a pureâ€"bred wildcat the promoters are the only people who do not lose. Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"Herr Stressemann, the ablest man in Gerâ€" many, is dead. As these men who were looking forward to a new Germany drop by the way, the European muddle does not become more reâ€"assuring. To retun to the origin of the term "wildcat," however, a recent paragraph in The Northern Miner gives an interâ€" seting explanation of how the word, "wildcat," came to be used. Until a better explanation is received this one will have to do. In this connection The Northern Miner last week says:â€"*"The term "wildcat" has some currency in the mining business. Not many people know how it secured association with mining prospects of dubious merits. Here is the explanation. About 75 years ago in the United States anybody sould open up an office to do a banking business. Such institutions called themâ€" selves "private banks." Actually they had. authority to issue their own bank notes. Naturally many of them failed. In the state of Michigan a chain of 40 odd banks operated under one company management. The bank notes were enâ€" graved with a picture of a "wild cat‘‘ or "Wolverine" in the centre of each note. About 1856 this chain went broke. The newspapers, reporting the occurence, announced that the "wildcat currency of Michigan is worthless.‘‘ Thus the term became attached to any offâ€"colour promotion. So if any one calls your operation a "wolverine‘" you will know what he is talking about." HOW WOOD PULP CAME TO BE DISCOVERED AND USED Use of Word, Distributors HEGLA GOAL SYNDIGATE TO ARRANGE FINANGING North Bay Men Interested in Coal and Gas Prospecting North of Cochrane Plan Further Development. During the past three or four years The Advance has had several referâ€". ences to the work done by 4 North Bay syndicate in attempting to explore the coal and oil possibilitiese of the area along the Mattagami and Abitibi rivers north of Cochrane. From the work of this syndicate composed largely of men connected with T. N.O., good results were obtained, although they were not able to carry the work along as far as they desired. They did, however, carry it far enough to convince many of the possibilities of the area in the matter of coal and oil, and they may well be considered as pioneers in calling attenâ€" tion to the coal fields north of Cochâ€" rane. Considerable work was done by the syndicate and the property was well sampled so far as this could be done without extensive drilling. Reâ€" cently, the syndicate has not been carrying on any active work, but the recent investigation of the area by the Government has again turned interest to the syndicate‘s claims. Writing from North Bay last week a corresâ€" pondent makes the following reference to this North Bay syndicate and its plans for the future:â€" "Announcement will be made shortly, it is understood, of new financial arâ€" rangements for the development of holdings of the Hecla Coal, Oil and Mining Company, Limited. This comâ€" pany was one of the first to be organâ€" ized three years ago on the strength of reports of coal and oil having been found in commercial quantities on the Abitibi and Mattagami Rivers. Conâ€" siderable work has already been done on their holdings, including a small amount of drilling, which however was insufficient to enable a proper test to be taken. Recent announcement of results of the Ontario Government‘s diamond drilling at Blacksmith Rapids has revived interest in their holdings. The Hecla properties comprise about four square miles of territory, most of it in Hecla township, on the Mattagami River and in close proximity to the lignite showings at Blacksmith Rapids and the Big Bend Rapids on the Matâ€" tagami Rivers. Preliminary financing was supplied largely by a North Bay syndicate, composed of employees of the T. N.O. Railway. The company has a capitalization of $1,000,000 in shares of $1 each, of which 500,000 shares are as yet unissued." Huntington Gleanor:â€"A college boy by the name of Meacham was playing bridge with a number of friends at Chapel Hill, N.C. His luck was bad and finally, drawing a revolver from his pocket, declared: "I‘m going to shoot the next person who deals me a sorry hand." The game continued and his tum to deal arrived. He laid down the hand which did not include a single ace or face card and, picking up the revolâ€" ver, shot himself in the right temple. He died within a few hours.
