The champion liars of Green Creek and FPishing Creek gathered around the potâ€"bellied iron stove in Otto Klingfelder‘s general store here and indulged in one of the most violent orgies of prevarication in history. And a rank outsiderâ€"Capt. Zachaâ€" rizgh Leaming, of Wildwood, a salty old seaman of 84â€"walked off with first prize. "I do not think the Canadian public are going to stand by much longer and see mining prostituted by a bunch of sharp shooters who operate on a marâ€" ket that has little or no consideration with actual mining. Something as swift and sure as Canadian justice does not remain forever inactive." Mr. Hammell is quoted in the Financial Post as saying that because of econoâ€" mic conditions all gold stocks should now be up, unless they are Hammered down and kept down. ‘"When I see what has happened on the market end of mining finance I burn up.

The fools think they are smart. Is there anything smart about the doormat thief, for it is with that sort of criminal that I would class them?

Blames Bucketeers for Hammering Some Stocks THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO whe nearest we ever were to being inâ€" toxicated through the efforts of a Blairmore (Alberta) Enterprise:â€" The most kindly words received by us furing the Christmas season were conâ€" ained in a letter from a Scotch friend, o the effect that "While taking a drink "his morning, I thought of you." One >an. scarcely imagine the influence our friend‘s letter had upon us, and it was more example of the value of the big chemical tanks here in the fighting of fire. In the case of a fire in a local store it was noted that the use of the chemical tank made sure extinguishing of the fire and in addition resulted in the minimum of damage resulting in the process. There was no loss from water such as has to occur when the water hose is used. In the case of a fire at Kirkland Lake‘s noted hotel, "The Ash Can,"â€"last week, The Norâ€" thern News observes the same value in the chemical tanks. The fire at the "Ash Can" was of unknown origin, but it is thought that a short circuit beâ€" tween electric wires may have been. responsible. In concluding its account of the fire which was between the ceiling of the bath room and the floor above, The Northern News said:â€" "According to the firemen there was the makings of a very serious fire there, but for the quick response of the fire trucic. The value of the chemical equipment through the great reduction in damage done by not having to pour tons of water into the building was amply demonstrated in this instance." ’ Last week The Advance noted one Cobalt‘s Christmas Cheer fund this year provided food, dainties, toys, etc., to 80 homes that otherwise would have had no Christmas at all in this regard. The people of Ccbalt contributed $637.00 to the fund. Each basket deâ€" livered to the needy families contained: bag of potatoes, bag of flour, package of raisins, can of tomatoes, can of corn, pound of butter, pound of lard, pound of tea, oranges, apples, candy, a chicken ? or a goose (according to the size of the family), and toys for the kiddies. The local Boy Scouts of Cobalt assisted in the distribution of the baskets, as well as providing many of the toys. The Boy Scouts gathered discarded and broken toys which they repaired and vrairiled, and those brought great deâ€" ‘ight to the youngsters receiving them. The amount of money contributed, and still more the generous spirit behind the whole work, surely prove that the pessimists who think that Cobalt is done and gone have a whole lot more coming yet. Cobalt is still "right there." CHEMICAL TANKS OF MUCH VALUE IN FIREâ€"FIGHTING of the town constables. The animal was later identified by a Kirkland Lake gsentleman as one of a pair of red foxes that he had owned for several months. He thought they would be about eight months old. He had them in his yard, rnotected by high wire netting, but dogs broke through the netting and the inimals escaped. The tracks of the dogs could be seen in the snow and there were other indications to show that there had been a lively battle beâ€" tween the dogs and the foxes before the latter escaped. The fox found on the post office steps at Kirkland Lake had been quite badly injured and the constable used his gun to put the animal out of misery. The fox was in s condition, but small measuring 3 feet, 2 inches from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. The second of the two foxes that escaped from the pen was shot also last week when seen running over the lumber piles in the Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis lumber yard.

The result was that he fell asleep and snored loudly. Peple nearby wakened him up, but his conduct did not improve, so he was summoned before the magistrate in the Hull police court. The charge was that of disorderly conduct, the particuâ€" lars being the snoring and the attempt to sing a popular song in church. The magistrate fined him $10. to be the victim of the fall on an ic sidewalk. All will wish Mrs. Trollope much better fortune in this new year. Mr. and Mrs. W. Trollspe on Dec. 10th, 1929, reached th> 37th anniâ€" versary of their woAinzx, but Mrs. Trollope was ill with bronchitis at that time, only recovering from this malady ed her to"the house for several days. Mrs. Trollope was just receoved from a severe attack of bronchitis and going down town on a shopping trip had the illâ€"luck to fall on the icy walk. Having her arms full of parcels she was not able to save herself from the fall or lessen the shock. She was picked up and assisted home, suffering severely for several days as a consequence of the accident. Mrs. Trollope suggests that when there is no sand placed on icy walks by the corporation staff that the merchanits might use ashes or other material in front of their stores to safeâ€" zuard the public against accidents. Mr. and Mrs. W. Trollsne on Dec. Mrs. W. Trollope, of Schumacher, had the ill fortune in the closing days of the old year to fall on an icy sideâ€" walk and sustain injuries that confinâ€" The importance of the fireclay deâ€" posits below the lignite must not be taken too lightly, and Department of Mines officials maintain that this pracâ€" tically insures a small industry. â€"The Northern Miner {INJURED IN FALL ON ICYÂ¥ SIDEWALK IN CHUMACHER The last few holes put down before work stopped for the freezeâ€"up have apparently indicated two limits of the lignite. Hole No. 18 seems to have shown the limit of the southwest exâ€" tension and Hole No. 19 shows the northeast limit, giving a length of alâ€" most three miles. Hole No. 21, the last hole drilled and approximately 2,100 feet northwest of the outcrop showed 14 feet of lignite. No. 18 hole only showed one=foot of lignite at a higher elevation than formerly. At the provincial assay office at Queen‘s Park preparations are being made for further tests. Additional equipment recently purchased includes pulverizer, drying oven, to obtain moisâ€" ture content, electric furnace for ashâ€" ing and Parr calorimeter to determine the heat units. These tests will be carâ€" ried out under the direction of W. Mcâ€" Neil, provincial assayer. The first tractor from the end of steel, hauling three tons of supplies, has reached the property, and a second tractor is being added to insure getting the material to the property in the event of an unforeseen difficulty. About 100 airtight containers have been shipped to the property to bring out samples for laboratory work. Apâ€" proximately 300 tons of lignite will also be taken out for testing purposes. In obtaining samples of lignite for experimental purposes it is necessary that the actual moisture and ash conâ€" tent be obtained. Samples washed up from the holes in the drilling were naturally unsuitable for determining moisture content. It is the intention to put down 2t least three of these prospects shafts, Mr. Sutherland says, to an average depth of 100 feet. This will take operâ€" ations through the lignite seam. The purpose of the prospects shafts is to get test shipments of lignite unaltered by surface conditions. The plan of campaign for the west bank calls for the putting down of holes every half mile, at a distance of approximately half a mile from and paralelling the river bank. Results cbhtained in the first few holes will «etermine the future drilling. Two prospect shafts have already been started, and sinking is being done by hand pending the arrival of a small mining plant. This plant consists of a small hoist and boiler. While this plant is on the way to the property it is expected that the first shaft will be down a substantial distance by time of arrival. The plant will then be put on this shaft, and the second shaft started down by hand until the plant is available. i The Ontario Department of Mines !has resumed exploration of the lignite beds at Blacksmith Rapids, following la halt of a few weeks made necessary by seasonal conditions. The start was made three weeks later than was anâ€" ticipated, T. F. Sutherland, acting Deâ€" puty Minister of Mines, says:â€" of the river. During the summer months 21 holes were put down on the beds, but due to the muskeg on the west it was found impossible to do any drilling there until the ground froze. The drilling which has now started is the first to be done on the west bank Drilling has already recommenced on the west bank of the Onakawana, and a second drill is to be added in a few days. This machine is on the way to the property, and may be working this weekâ€"end. Government Will Sink Three Shafts. Importance of Fireclay Deposits Under Lignite Should not be QOverlooked.
