Wm. Pinlayâ€" son, Minister of Lands and Forests, under whose department comes the Department of Northern Development having charge of the roads in the North Land (and incidentally, it should be remembered, o‘ some roads in what is generally considered the South, at least so considered by all in this North), NEW TYPE OF ROAD FOR THE NORTH BEING TESTED NOW Saving of $14,000 a Mile Predicted if Experimental Stretch of Highway Proves Ability to Withstand Winter Weather. Limited THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Warner Baxter, EBdmund Lowe, Farâ€" rell Macdonald, Ivan Linow, Tom Sanâ€" tschi are names to conjure with in the film firmament, for each is a star in his or her own right. Based on a story by Tom Barry, "In Old Arizona‘"" is said to have one of the most brillitant casts in any picture, sllent or sound, produced in several years. As a matter of fact, its making enâ€" tailed location trips to Zion National Park, to. Cedar City, Utah, to the faâ€" mous old San Fernando Mission in California and to the Mohave Desert at Victorville, Cal. Raoul Walsh‘s newest Fox producâ€" tion, "In Old Arizona," is not only the first feature length drama to be made 100 per cent. Movietone, but it has accomplished the seemingly impossiâ€" hle by being made, for the most part, entirely away from soundproof stages. The special sound picture at the Goldfirlds this weekâ€"end; Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 28th, 29th and 30th, is the offering, "In Old Ariâ€" zona," a picture that has met with genâ€" eral favour wherever shown. Also, it should not be forgotten that the chief nsed of the North Land is for roads for the settlers. It might be good economy to use this new type of road in building of roads for settlers. If not, roads for settlers may be conâ€" structed for considerably less than $6,â€" 000.00 per mile, and roads for settlers will assist more than any single facâ€" tor in the development of this North Land. "IN OLD ARIZONA" ALMOST ENTIRELY MADE IN OPEN The road is started with three inches o. limestone, which is subjected to countless sprayings, rollings and coatâ€" ings. Then it is topâ€"dressed with anâ€" other layer of limestone, this one being however, only threeâ€"gighths of an inch thick. Another good place to use this new type of road would be the completion of the belt line of roads from Timmins to Sudbury. If the road emerges unbuckled and otherwise undamaged in the suoring, said Mr. Finlayson, similar roads will be laid at many points in Northern Ontario. Some of the plazses he has in mind are the Ferguson highway around Huntsville, North Bay, Neéew Liskeard and Cobalt, and at the head of the lakes, Keewatin and Kenora. Composed chiefly of limestons, the new type of road costs $85,0C0 a mile in comparison to the usual $20,000 a mile that asphalt or cement roads cost. Having demonstrated its ability to withstand heavy motor travel, all that remains now before the new road can becalled a success is the test of a norâ€" thern winter. Next spring will show whether the new road buckles in cold weather. announced that if a certain tenâ€"mile strip of the Ferguson highway between Severn and Gravenhurst comes through the winter as well as it has the summer the Provincial Northern Development will have developed a new and much cheaper type of road service for use throughout the North Land. Hon. Mr. Finlayson says that this particular kind of road surface has been tried out in several sections of the United States and has given good satisfaction generâ€" ally, the only point in question being whether it will withstand the cold winâ€" ter weather in the North with as good results as it weathers the summer usâ€" age. The piece of road between Severn and Gravenhurst, according to Hon. Mr. Finlayson, has stood up wonderâ€" fully well this summer under the very heavy Muskoka motor traffic. _ The Whitehorse dealers aiso report bringing in the first shipment of automobiles ever impâ€"riecd into the Yukon.

The buyer was an Indian, who, to even the most optimistic, would scarcely have seemed to be in the marâ€" ket for a car. The only possible use he could make of his purchase was to run it for a few months during the late winter and spring on the ice of a large lake near his home. For summer use he cut a circular track out of the scrub. This "highway," not cver a mile in all, is the only one or which the new Chevro‘et can exercise iis rights during the summer months.

Bacteria multiply raâ€" pidly in milk stored at a temperature above 50 degrees F. Milk should contain at least 3.25 per cent. butter fat and 8.5 per cent. total solids exclusive of fat. The Cahill sample showed considerâ€" able dirt, the straining of the milk aoparently not having been looked after effectively. Autemobile and Airplane Now on the Trail of "98" Official Tests of Milk for South Porcupine A search was made for the body, Sergeant George Delves and Constable W. R. Byrne of the provicial police asâ€" sisting, but these efforts were without success for some hours. Eventually a number of men who came from Latchâ€" ford located the body in about ten feet of water. It was taken to the schcool house at Gillies. Dr. W. C. Arnold, Haileybury, the coroner was notified. No inquest will be held. The victim‘s father is operator for the T. N. 0. at Lorrain Junction. Hearing his sister‘s screams,. John ran back and tried to save her. He, too, crashed through the ice, which was about half of an inch in thickness. Sectionmen hurried to the scene and were able to save the girl who had gone down once but had sufficient strength to grasp the pole. By this time there was no sign o. the boy, who wore heavy clothing which hampered his attempt to save himself. The accident happened about 4.30 0â€" clock and the boy‘s body was recovered at ten o‘cleck the same nigsht. The brother and sister were returning home from school at Gillies, the boy being some distance ahead of the girl. The latter apparently left the railway tracks to try the ice on a bay of Mud Lake. and went through. Despatches last week from Cobalt told of the gallant death of Jcohn Deagle, a boy of 13 years of age, who passed from life in a brave attempt to rescue his sister, two years younger, from death in the icy water of Mud Lake, near Cobalt. The story is worthy 0 permanent record, showing as it does the fine spirit of heroism that still holds the hearts of the boys of Canada. John Deagle, 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Deagle, Lorrain Junction, plungâ€" ed to his death through the icse of Mud Lake, four miles south of here, yvesterâ€" day afterncon in an effort to save his sister, Audrey, 11 years old. The girl was rescued by T. N.

Though the market price of silver has been rather lower in 1929 than it was in 1928 the outturn of the silver mines in this province was larger in quantity in the nine months of this year than in the corresponding period of last year and was valued at $3,540,391 or $675 000 more than the output in the n‘ne months of 1928. Remarkable increases toock place in the value of the nicks‘ and copper preduction of the provinse. An increase from $4,037.293 to $‘3.826.-i 048 in the value of copper production . testified to the growth of the copper industry in Ontario. An increase from | $8,633,109 to $12.864,312 in the value of metallic nickel told of activity in the mines in this province, which are the world‘s chief source of nickel supâ€" plies, and a decline from $5,043,325 to $2,949,653 in exports of nickel in matt» In these days when there is a tendâ€" ency to suggest that mining in Onâ€" tario is not what it used to be, just because some have been caught on the market, which has practically no conâ€" nection with practical mining or its results, it is refreshing to read optimisâ€" tic statistics like those published in connection with the report of the Minâ€" ister of Mines for Ontario, as publishâ€" ed in The Advance last week. Comâ€" menting on this report, The Toronto Mail and Empire in an editorial last week says:â€" "To the public in Ontario the report that the department of mines has issuâ€" ed on the operations of the metal mines of the province in the first nine months of the present year should be a source of considerable satisfaction. The figâ€" ures, as Hon. Charles McCrea, minister of mines, points out in a prefatory note in the report, "show a gratifying increase in output over 1928 of nearly $1,000,000 a month, and a forecast for the full year 1929 of a total mineral output of $110,000,000, or an increase of 10 per cent. over the record producâ€" tion of 1928." Outpout of Ontario Mines Continues to Increase Major Burwash is an "oldâ€"timer‘" in the north counrtry, and that is probâ€" ably the reason why his superiors in Ottawa, were not worrying about his safety, although he had been out of civilization and out of touch with the world for more than a year. Major Burwash has been heard of once or twice in the last year. Govâ€" ernment steamers reported that he had been hsard of at Cambridge Bay. With an Eskimo as companion he plowed his way through biting Arctic storms to carry out his investigations for the department. "Delayed at Reliance, along shortly." This was the text of Major Burwash‘s message to the department from Fort Reliance. Officials of the department don‘t know how he came out but beâ€" lieve he may have flown down with the McAlpine party. Major L. T. Burwash, who visited John Jones here on his way to the far north about eightsen months ago, and who has been in the subâ€"Arctic regions since June, 1928, sent word last week to the Government at Ottawa that he was at Fort Reliance and expected to return to Ottawa shortly. Major Burâ€" washt is an explorer and mining enginâ€" eer of wide reputation, and has been a visitor to Timmins on more than one cccasion, he and John Jones being friends of long standing. Despatche; from Ottawa say that Major Burwash has been in the subâ€"Arctic regions since June, 1928, making a study for the Inâ€" terior Department of the mineral posâ€" sibilities. of the Copper Mins River country, making an observation of the magnetic pole, and doing some work among the Eskimos.
