(This is a sample so, THIS Is HUMOUR! 1155 REMINISCENGES OF ELK LAKE TWENTY YEARS A60 When Latchford was a Boom Town. Literally scores of people now in the Porcupine have been in every mining camp of the North at one time or anâ€" other. As a matter of fact a majority of the oldâ€"timers in this camp came first to Elk Lake or Cobalt, or perhaps stayed a while at both, and then came on to Porcupine. Here it would be a case of Pottsville or Golden City first, then South Porcupine, and later Timâ€" mins. And from South Porcupine and Timmins were recruited the prospecâ€" tors for Rouyn, Lightning River, Red Lake, Patricia, and many other camps. In each camp, Elk Lake, Cobalt, Porâ€" cupine, Rouyn, Red Lake, Kirkland Lake, or what have you, the pioneers inoluded many of the same men, and though each camp seemed to have a personality of its own, the men in each / case were to quite an extent the "same old bunch of oldâ€"timers." Accordmgly stories of each camp have a common | appeal to all the other camps. It is so with the reference made last week in | The Northern Miner to the old Elk Lake camp. This reference in the "Grab Samples and Tailings‘"‘ column of The Northern Miner is as follows:â€" | "How long have you been in the minâ€" ing country? asked the smoking car acquaintance of the miningrengineer. "Oh, about 20 years. I went up North on the Elk Lake rush. Two of us got off at Latchford, which was a real boom town in 1908. We were fresh from school, and thought we had the world by the caudal appendage. We brought along our own canoe and outâ€" fit, and camped the first night over where the dam is now. The first evenâ€" mg we spent around the town, absorb- inz the exciting atmosphere. We got the prospecting fever properly, after we had set them up a few times at the old long bar that used to be there, but is sone, alas. The oldâ€"timers told us some wonderful yarns, and we believed tham all. "NMext morning we were up a@t five, and made an early start up the river. We had lots of company. The river was dotted with the coming and going canoes and pointers We portaged over the Pork Rapids, where you can take a motor boat over now, since the dam has been built. We were cerâ€" tainly green, although we had some acquaintance with canoeing and campâ€" ing out. We made the mistake of trying to compete with the old hands, who seemed to make their canoes slip along with no effort. We nearly broke our backs trying to keep up with them. "Another mistake we made was stripâ€" ping down to our B.V.D.‘s. The sun was hot, and we laughed at the prosâ€" pectors for plodding along with longâ€" sleeved shirts and handkerchiefs aâ€" round their necks. We found out the reason later. When we got to Elk Lake Greenhorns Travelling in B.V.D.‘s. A Glimpse of the Elk Horn we were covered with blisters. Our first acquaintance with the Northern summer sun taught us a lesson. "The first mine I ever saw was the old Elk Horn. My pal and I went over and leaned on the windlass and looked wise at the contents of the upcoming bucket. We thought it was mighty primitive work. We had yet to learn how hard and intractable rock was. "Our first night we went into Pipe and Presley‘s store on the east bank of the river to get something to ease the pain of our burns. The store was crowded with prospectors, and two or threé clerks were working their heads off. One was weighing dynamite into a scoop scale, and when he jerked it off the tripod the dynamite spilt all over the fivor. We nearly got killed in the rush for the door. "We visited the Chinese restaurant in a tent on the shore and ordered a Tâ€"bone steak. He was the first cocky chink we had ever seen and he was a novelty. He put up a real battle with a deadâ€"beat and kept his customer‘s hat as security at the finish. He was cut for business and no foolin‘. "Next day we were on the dock when the steamboat came in. AM the dogs swam over from the Hudson‘s Bay store side to meet the boat, and accompanied it to the other side of the river in solemn state when it swung over there. We thought this was great fun, and wondered whether the huskies expected any mail or supplies. It was the day‘s cutstanding event for the dogs as well as the men of the camp. "NMaturally, we visited the Hudson‘s Bay storeâ€"our first sight of the fabled inctitutionâ€"and we bought strong Hudâ€" son‘s Bay tobacco in a red tin. We could feel the tang of the wide, open spazes of the Far North in every whiff. This was rought it! "There was a license inspector in the camp, although there were no licenses. Part of his duties was to visit the inâ€" coming boats and check over the cargo for contraband. He must have been cften deceived, as there was ocular ana wuricular evidence of the presence of plenty of stuff to drink. A survey parâ€" ty come in overland from Long Lake, artd were not in town an hour until they were highly enthusiastic over the scenery or something. "And I got the world‘s worst haircut in Elk Lake. I have been around som* since and bhave had my hair cut in the trenches with twoâ€"yearâ€"old scissors by in amateur, but nothing ever even apâ€" proached the technique of that pioner barber. He tore it out by the roots And at that he had a lineâ€"up of cusâ€" Wiuil WWaiise Aik j J Ns _ . _ "Did you do any sta * during th rush? he was asked. "Sure, we hung around Elk Lake fo a few days to get our sun burns healecC and then poked up Bear Creek. We I learned right there why th? prospectors were so tough. I came out with tears in my eyes." .. Mine. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO PROSPECTS IN NORTHERN ONTARIO WERE NEVER BETTER In a recent statement Hon. Geo. Gorâ€" don, Senator, of North Bay, said:â€" "Prospects in Northern Ontario were never better thian they are at the presâ€" ent time. ~Lumbering conditions are good throughout Nipissing and Temisâ€" kaming," he added, ‘"and the big paper companies are ready for one of the most active wood cutting seasons. The Abitibi Co. is preparing for a busy seaâ€" son, teking out considerably more wood this year than Jdast. * "Increased prices for newsprint shipâ€" ped into the United States and a growâ€" ing demand for paper all over the conâ€" tinent will add to the prosperity which the North has been enjoying for the last two or three years. "Mining operations are as busy as they were this time last year and plans are now being made for further expanâ€" sion so that all in all it looks as if the North â€"would have a splendid prosperous According to a statement made by Mr. Gerald Liarkin, president of the Salada Tea Company of Canada Limitâ€" ed, the increase in sales in Canada and the United States indicates that over 7.10,000 more people were using Salada than in 1928. The occasion was the convention of the Ontario Salada Salesmen at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto. Mr. Arthur M. Wilson was in the chair and gave an exceedingly interestâ€" ing address complimenting the salesâ€" men on the year‘s work and calling upâ€" on ‘them for continued efforts. Sales Manager, Mr. J. J. Wholley, whose efâ€" forts were largely responsible for the increase in Ontario, made a forceful appeal on "Enthusiasm"‘ by sales superâ€" visor, Mr. Frank Nicholson, the meetâ€" ing was thrown open for general disâ€" cussion.

J. D. Parks, B.A., B.D., of St. Andrew‘s Unitâ€" ed Church, North Bay. The subject of the morning service was "Christian Friendship" and Mr. Parks gave several instances of what it means to love our fellow men and in a small way to folâ€" low the teachings of the Master in doâ€" ing for others. In the evening the subâ€" ject was "Epaphroditusâ€"God‘s Gamâ€" Jler," who regarded not his life and whose sacrifice was acceptable and well pleasing to God. Both services were well attended and were a source of inâ€" spiration to all those who listened to these very able discourses.

The rule against employment of men thus in the very prime of life has developed from the insurance and pension plans adopted by the companies in question. On several recent occasions complaint has been made that the Spruce Falis Pulp and Paper Co. carefully enforces this restrictive clause. If one company follows such a plan, why may not all companmies enforce similar restrictions? And if all concerns did assume such an attitude what would be the result? The average man at 45 years of age is at his best, and The Advance is inâ€" clined to believe that with so large a proportion of the men of 45 toâ€"day beâ€" ing soldiers in the late war, any generâ€" al enforcement of the objectionable age restriction would be liable to lead to serious results. Yet, the fact reâ€" mains that if one or a number of firms are privileged to adopt any such arâ€" lblbran'y restriction ‘there is nothing to prevent a general adoption of the rule. Anyextended acceptance of the idea that men over 45 years of age are unâ€" employable would mean double inâ€" jury to the country. To refuse men at this age the right to work would be unthinkable, while at the same time the loss to the country from the failure to use the experience and skill of men at this time of life would be serious indeed. An Ottawa correspondent says that worry over what is to become of ableâ€" bodied men and women who have to seek new employment after they have reached the age of 45 is not confined to Canada Urupuay is the first country to atâ€" tack the problem directly. Under the general provisions of its old age penâ€" sion law the government has just issuâ€" ed a decree which requires that all government and public utility pay rolls must carry enough people more than 45 years old to equal 10 per cent. of the total number of persons on such pay rolls. While it may be questioned that this decree will really accomplish anything, it is significant as a recognition by the government of Uruguay that an oldâ€" age question is coming which cannot be entirely met by a pension system without a very radical increase in both the general and specific taxes which are set aside in the pension law to meet the requirements of that law as it stands. The doubt as to the practical effiâ€" ciency of th> law is based upon staâ€" tistics available for Canada rather than those of Uruguay; but, assuming that the age distribution among OCcuâ€" pied people over 15 years of age is substantially the same in both counâ€" tries, it becomes apparent that the govâ€" ernment decree referred to does not go far enough. Of the persons over 15 years of age who are gainfully occupied in Canada 28.3 per cent. are over 45 years of age. In fact 4.1 per cent. are 65 years and over. The decree, therefore, that not less than 10 per cent. of the employees of the government and public utility corporations must be 45 years and over Wlll not absonrb those over that age.

Mr. Nichols touched on while detailing his impressions of Canâ€" ada‘s trade prospects in the Orient. Prospects were bright, indeed, he deâ€" clared, if Canadian business men were ready to realize them. "I don‘t know what the prospects for future development of trade in wheat and lumber are," he said. "Cerâ€" tainly the immediate prospects are good, but in Manchuria the Orient has "The possibility of developing the lumber trade is also good at present, but it must be remembered that Japan is taking pains to keep up her lumber supply by careful reforestation."
