TAYLOR HARDWARE LIMITED 7ER LIGHTS AND SHADOWS IN LIFE IN A MINING CAMP Rev. J. D. Parks, now of North Bay, but for many years a valued and valuâ€" able worker in Timmins, is always able to lighten and brighten any subject with wit and humour and give strikâ€" ing interest to any question he might discuss. At North Bay recently he dealt with life as he saw it in a minâ€" ing camp, his address to the North Bay Lion‘s Club being most interâ€" esting one. The North Bay Nugget reâ€" views the address at some length and many readers of The Advance will be pleased to read the review. The Nugâ€" gecst says:â€" Described by Rev. J. D. Parks, For Over Ten Years a Valued Citizen of Timâ€" mins. Many Humorous Inciâ€" dents Wittily Sketched, "Experience while in a mining camyp in Northern Ontario" was the theme of an address given by Rev. J. D. Parks, at the Lions Club Monday night lunchâ€" eonmnâ€"mseting, held in the Empire hotel. President A. Beattie presided. "The lights and shadows of a minâ€" ing camp are almost the same as aroe experienced in almost every camp," he said. "The life of a camp can be dividâ€" ed into three periods. At first the disâ€" covery is thoroughly investigated to deâ€" ermine whether there is a chance that it can be developed into a produceér. "The second stage is one of rapid srowth. Business men, must prepare for the reaping of the préesent, not knowing what the future will be. I realized while I was in Timmins of the uncer‘ainness of the future. One winâ€" ter I bhad to conduct two services 12 Third Avenue Sunday nights to accommodate the church~â€"goers. "The third stage is that of civilizaâ€" tion and consolidation. This is the period when schools and public buildâ€" ings are constructed and citizens builld substantial homes, and {ake an interest in municipal government. While Coâ€" balt is not so lively today, yet the schsols are overcrowded. Many .of their fathers work in adjoining towns. "I was in Timimins during the seâ€" cond stage. I had many interesting expsriences. I have given eviden:se against a man who threatened to kill another man who wanted to go to church an.f have also been a witness in manslaughter court cases. "Some of us, because of our profesâ€" sions, see the shadows more than cthers do. Some are of a lighter vein. At' my first wedding in Timmins, the bridegrcom, a Finlander, gave me $10 ) after the service had besn completed. | Soon after he had left, he returned and acked me for the change, telling‘ me that he considered his bride worth only $5. Another bridegroom took off his suitcoat, while a third man kissecl the bride two or three times during the service to make sure that he kissed ner at the right time. "Sometimes there is tragedy. Life, after all, I suppose is like that. There are things which make you laugh, but yet the same thing might make you cry mt another time. I have been at funeral services of men who opened up the North, those who can justly claim the title of real pioneers. â€"I have been at funerals when threeâ€"quarters of the people were drunk and yet crying. They were sincere. There was comâ€" radeship behind it all. "I have seen people in mining camps, in the depths of sorrow. A mining camp is the front lines of space. Think of ‘the suddenness and awfulness of things which might happn to the miners. During the Hollinger mine fire, about 50 men were trapped and 39 men lost their lives. I cannot beâ€" #sin to describe the sorrow of women and children. "It‘s a fine thing to take the diviâ€" dends. But I would like you to have sympafhy for the miners. Do not forâ€" get that they are going into the depths of the earth, selling their lives. Realâ€" ize that the capital is worthless withâ€" out the men. They are heross. "As in the mines there is the muck which contains millions of dollars worth of minerals, so the men on the surface look likemuck to some people, but in their hearts, the miners are brave, kind and brotherly.

The DEATH OF MRS. J. A. DONNELL FORMERLY OF HAILEYBURY Wword was received in Haileybury last week of the death at Saskatoon, Sask., of Mrs. Donnell, wife of the Rev. J. A. Donnell, formerly pastor for several years of the Haileybury Presbyâ€" terian church. The message was reâ€" ceived by Geo. T. Hamliton, the postâ€" master at Haileybury, and a particular friend of Rev. J. A. Donnell while the latter was in Haileybury. The late Mrs. Donnell had many friends in the North Land where the family lived for several years, Rev. Mr. Donnell being pastor of the Haileybury Presbyterian church and taking an active part in many public affairs Rev. Mr. Donnell and family went to the West some years ago, Rev.

Two Daughters Reside in Timmins. The fiftyâ€"eighth anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Robt, Boyle, of Cobalt, was observed last week by those wellâ€"known pioneer residents of the North Land. Mr. and Mrs. Boyle who live on Lang street, Cobalt, are widelyâ€"known and highly esteemed all through the North where they have been â€" helpful residents since 1907. Soms of the members of the family were present at Cobalt last week for the 58th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Boyle but cthers of the famiâ€" ly were unable to attend on account of the long distances to be travelled. Despatches from Cobalt last weck give the information that Mr. and Mrs. Boyle were married in Holy Triniâ€" ty Anglican Church at Pembroke, on November 6, 1871, the off:ciating cilergyâ€" man being the then rector of the parâ€" ish, Rev. Mr. Nesbitt. Both bride and srcom of the ceremony of 58 years ago are members of families which agre numbered among the earliest sectlers 0o: Rnfrew county. Mr. Boyle‘s parâ€" ents located in the Lakse Dore secticn. Before hor marriage, Mrs. Boyle was Miss Margaret McAuley, whose parâ€" ents settled in Alice township, six mlles from Pembroke. A unique feature of the anniversary is that the bridesmaild and the groomsâ€" nan are still living. The former, who was Miss Eliza Boyle, the groom‘s sisâ€" ter, is now Mrs. George Davis, of Mayâ€" nooth, and the grocomsman, Mr. Wilâ€" Ham McAuley, brother of the brids, still resides on the old homestead in Alice township. Mr. and Mrs. Bryl: both come of longâ€"lived families. Thasy came to Cobalt in 1907 and have made their home here since. Previously, they had lived in Sault Ste. Marie, Copper Cliff, Cache Bay and Warren. Surviving members of the family are thres sons and six daughters. The sons are William Boyle, in Neudorf, Sask., James E.

SOME NOTES ABOUT LOST UFSSHLS IN THE FAR NORTB Eskimos Bank Accounts and Stefansâ€" son Romances Referred to. Eskiâ€" mos Use Gasoline and are Ready to Pay $5.00 a Galâ€" lon for it. In a group of notes on matters reâ€" fcrring to the Far North last week The Northern Miner made the suggestion that Vilhjalmur Stefansscn rather colâ€" ours the story of the Far North when he lectures in the South. From readâ€" ing of The Northern Miner notes cne would be led to believe that other exâ€" plorers and pionsers of ths Far Novlli, as well as Hudson Bay Company imncn and others in a position to know h: facts are rather inclined to be amus»d at Stefansson‘s lectures and the sort of material with which they are filled Which may be as it may be. However, frequent visits by members of The Northern Miner staff to the arctic reâ€" gions and the faculty for close and shrewd observance give much weight to what The Northern Miner may say. The fact that the Hudson Bay factors and the missionaries in the Far North support the presentation of the counâ€" try as pictured by The Northern Minâ€" er naturally gives weight to anything the mining paper may say about the arctic country and its people. Hence, the following notes from The Northern Miner last week should be of more than passing interest:â€" Speaking of the Eskimos and some of their methods and characteristics, The Northern Miner says:â€"*"The Eskiâ€" mos of the Bathurst Inlet area head for the coast and the trading posts in the late fall, after spending the sumâ€" mer inland along the lakes. They trade their furs for various things, inâ€" cluding gasoline at $5 a gallon. They have primus stoves. In winter they use seal oil for house heating, but preâ€" fer the gasoline for summer use. At the nouth of the Mackenzie the Eskiâ€" mos, who engage largely in fishing, have small schooners with outboard motors. "Actually," says "Pat" Reid, "these people have bank accounts away down in Edmonton or somewhere." They do not make their own deposits but have traders, missionaries and traâ€" vellers do it for them. This is a far cry from the common idea of the norâ€" thern native‘s financial status. Preâ€" sently one of them will buy a plane. They have not yet begun playing the market. There is a virgin field here for some high pressure salesman. "The only sign of the "Patrick and Michael," N.AME.‘s schooner lost in Chesterfield Inlet, is the topmast. It sticks up a few feet above high tide, a melancholy reminder of a grievous acâ€" cident of the sea. The vessels of the aerial exploration companies have had no luck. The "Morso," of Dominion Explorers, met a quick fate near Churchill when it took fire and was blown up by its gascline stores this summer. The "Patrick and Michael" did not survive its first year in the North, foundering on an uncharted reef Masters of both vessels had years of exâ€" perience in the waters of the North." In reference to Vilhjalmur Stefansâ€" son, The Miner makes the folowing paragraph:â€"*"Vilhjalmur Stefansson gave a very amusing address in Toâ€" ronto last week. His pet topic, "The Friendly Arctic," was presented with a few frills which rather startled his audience and, indeed, might even surâ€" prise the Eskimos upon whom he poses as an authority. For one thing, he said that half of them had never heard of snow houses unless they had been to school. Mr. Stefansson is in the posiâ€" tion that nobody, even the Hudson‘s Bay people who have been in the Arcâ€" tiecs for so many years before the exâ€" plorer was born, or set out to make a living by lecturing on the Far North, agrees with him about the Artic. It is a case of Stefansson against the wor.d. But he is amusing, and that is something." As will be noted by the professional card in another column of this issue Dr. S. R. Harrison and Dr. L.
