In later years, Mr. Jeffrey had been active in various mining enterprises, includ> ing interests in Labrador, and he took a prominent part in efforts two years ago to secure a smelter for Cobalt.

Mr. 'Jeffrey was in his 76th year. He was at Quebec City on July 4, 1854. Inhisearlieryeamhewasforaume with the Geological Survey of Ohnada, and he had followed his profession of mining engineer in the western states and in British Columbia before he came to the north in the early days of the Cobalt "Ctamp, in which he arrived in 1907.. For a time Mr. Jeffrey. was manâ€" ager of the old Charmbers Ferland mine at Cobalt, and he acted in similar caâ€" pacity at the Silver Cliff property and In the report of a hockey match at New Liskeard The Advance ten years ago took occasion to comment on the poor‘service given at that time by the T. N. 0. Railway. Fortunately for the North Land and its people the T. N. O. since that time has been giving a greatly improved service. In fact of the road the service improved until toâ€"day the T. N. O., so far as the North is concerned, 1someotdshlsootm-, try‘s most valued and valuable assets. But ten years ago it was much otherâ€" wise.‘ In the issue of Feb. 18th, 1920, -â€"_mmemmmwm however, they give Liskeard a big run for their money. Liskeard had reâ€" markably good team, their combinaâ€" tion ‘work being especially notable, Both teams played clean hockey. Patsy Parker starred for Timmins. About one hundred fans aooompanied the team to New Liskeard. The return here was made at 10 o‘clock Monday morning, making 22 hours for the 145â€"mile jourâ€" ney from Liskeard, the trip down takâ€" ing 18 hours. and Wilder. Porcupineâ€"Liiberty, Geo.

(Messrs A. Reambotâ€" for a train at Oonnaughtandentereda poolroom there to spend the time they had to wait. The proprietor of the poolroom and Mr. Reamsbottom had a disagreement and the result of this was that Mr. â€"Reamsbottom was knocked unconscious by being hit over the head with a billiard cue. Mr. Racicot atâ€" tempted to act as peacemaker or to save Mr. Reamsbottom from further injury and eventually he, too, was knocked unconscious by blows from a billiard cue. Reamsbottom was carried to the train and later taken to Haileybury hospital. For a time it was feared that tragedy might follow the assault but fortunately for all concerned both made good recovery from the injuries received, though both were well batterâ€" ed up about the head and face. Proâ€" vincial Officer Moore (now Inspector Moore) was ‘on the train passing through Connaught at the time Mr. Reamsbottom. was carried to the staâ€" tion. The provincial. officer went to lying unconscious on the floor with his face and head covered with blood. Ofâ€" flcer Moore took the injured man to the Cottage. hospital at Timmins where he made speedy recovery. The two men, father and son, accused of the assault, could not be located at first, but later ‘the owner of the pooiroom was found at his place at Connaught, while the son was taken off the train at Porquois Junction. He had boarded the train just as the provincial officer left it to investigate. The owner of the poolroom was found guilty of assault at police court at South Porcupine, and a similar ‘ conviction was registered’ against the son. The father was senâ€" tenced ito six months at Haileybury, while the son, who was only 19 or 20 years of age, was allowed his liberty on suspended sentence. In this column last week reference was made to the winning of the northâ€" cupine.. The Porcupine team had then to play off with the New Liskeard team. In the first of these semiâ€"finals, New Liskeard won with score of 8 to 2. The Advance of Feb. 18th, 1920, howâ€" ever, noted that the Timmins boys playâ€" ed a much better game than the score ; might indicate. The Porcupine boys had a number of serious. handicaps, among these being an "offâ€"side‘" type of ; play by the Liskeard lads. Another was thepoorllghtingoftherinkandits general lack of upâ€"toâ€"date style. One Timmins wag kept referring at the time to the "small halfâ€"round, square, triâ€" angleâ€"cornered rink at Liskeard. Still | ", another drawback for the Timmins | o1 team was that they had to get on their | h uniforms on the train and arriving at | di New Liskeard at 9.55, were started in | gi the game at 10.25.

Tailâ€" for some ten years. It is just ten years ago since the Porcupine Rod and Gun Club was organized.. An article in The Advance ten years ago says, in part:â€" ‘"‘A very enthusiastic meeting of lovers of sport from around the district was held at Connaught recently in order to discuss the advisability of forming a gun and hunt club which would include an organization and though not placâ€" ing itself much in the limelight, it nevertheless had been doing good work A year or two ago an energetic and publicâ€"spiritedâ€"citizen of the town exâ€" pressed. wonder that rod and gunclub had not been. organized in town. He was promptly told tha.t there was such ent. Now, they are becoming bitter." The Advance kept "harping away‘" as one other newspaper said, about the rotten service on the railway here until that service was greatly improved. Toâ€" day there is no other newspaper in the North tha.t has more good words for the T. N. O., but if ever the service degenerates to the lack of service of ten years or more ago, The Advance will revert to the bttter condemnatlon of 1920. has roused a very decided feeling of anger against the T. N. 0. What is neseded is more service and less red tape; more accommodation for the pubâ€" lic and less making of excuses. â€" It is not overâ€"stating the case to say that the conditions on Sunday were a direct menace to the very lives of many of the passengers in view of the prevalence of the danger of pneumonia, influenza and other dread maladies that are aided by exposure and the lack of proper nourishment. In the past complaints about the T. N. O. have been frequâ€" suffered severely. It was too cold to | stay in the station and the thermometâ€" ‘er was down thlrby below oOr more outâ€" side. No blankets were obtainable for love or money and although sleeping accommodation was evidently hunted up by some of the passengers so that the women and children could be relieved of their sufferings, this was only after some considerable time had been spent. The railway offcials appeared to be able to look after themselves, but not abie or willing to relieve the sufferings of others. |A paragraph from the article of The Advance on the matter may be of interest:â€"‘"‘Then at Porquois Juncâ€". tion, in view of the fact that the Peoâ€" ple‘s Railway is responsible for freâ€" quently holding passengers at that Junction point for hours at a time, the T. N. 0. should see to it that there is adequabe accommodationâ€"a proper supply of food, convenient and desirâ€" able sleeping quarters, a properlyâ€"heatâ€" ed and equipped station, etcâ€"for the safety of the people who are forced to use this railrcead and for the comfort of the unfortunate travellers ~thus held captive. The sufferings of some of the women and children on Sunday evening Falls and the 200. or more passengers were left to starve and freueat?or- quis Junction all night. There was no food obtainable, not even a drink of water, either at the station or eiseâ€" where, The station was beastly cold, the heating system being inadquate for C ie ds s i t y e ho o. z6t 20â€" . B8 s while the train went out go Iroquois BEKig‘~*y at Among ‘the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""Mrs. Harry Webb and: son Norman returned last week from a visit of several months to the Old Country." "The masquerade dance given in the; New Empire theatre basement last| night under the auspices of the Scotty | Wilson orchestra was a pleasant and successful event.. ‘There was a large number of clever and striking costumes, and all attending enjoyed themselv "P. M. Bardessono returned last week from a visit to his Home in Minnesota, where ‘his mother was seriously ill, but l There have been many recent comâ€" plaints regardlng the bad state of the road between ®South Porcupine and Timmins and many people are beginâ€" 'nmgtomnderxfitmxghtnotbeagood thing to spend little more money to keep the roads in good shape in the winter as well as during the other t.hree ‘â€"months of the year." "The official returns now ava.ilable " said The Advance of Feb. 18th, 1920, ‘"‘show that during 1919 the Hollinger paid $1,722,000.00 in dividends, and the McIntyre Porcupine $546,042.00. The total paid in dividends by the Hollinger, Mcfntyre, Dome ,Porcupine Crown and Rea Mines to Dec. 31ist, 1919, amounts to $15,129,226.00." The Advance ten years ago says:â€" "Hugh Richardson, operator at the New EBmpire theatre, had the illâ€"luck this week to hurt his left arm and shoulder so badly that he is practically laid up. He was driving in from south Porcuâ€" pine and on account of the bad state of the road his cutter was upset h one of the many bad holes. He was thrown forward and his arm catching in the ornamental top of the dashboard his arm was roughly twisted. the gates of the dam were viclently wrenched outward and broken. + The water poured through at an immense rate and the four men who had been standing on the dam were swept to death. The men killed were «â€"Superinâ€" tendent Currie and three electricians, Messrs Hansel, Roberts and Cory. Buperintendent Currie was wellâ€"known in the Porcupbine and the news of his death was received here with the despâ€" est regret. ABOLISH NAVIES, SAYS . GRANDI Signor Dino Grandi, Italy‘s foreign minister, will propose that the nayâ€" ies of the world be not only limited but abolished at the London Naval Conference now under way. It is thought that France will insist on freedom of the seas with protection to neutrals while, according to all indications, the United States will insist on cruiser parity. . . The work ofâ€"gravelling the Matheson road has been commenced, according to a correspondent from that town. The business of the meeting was put through in a routine 1 manner, which met with no opposition on the part of the many shareholders present and few questions regarding property develop- ment, etc., were submitted. Development and other expenses for the year are reported At $29,875.34. M a LIremieaans _A C in other properties, buildings, mining properties, etc., make up the balarice. Under liabilities, bank cheques outâ€" standing of $2,394.06; accounts payable, $6,153; advances from shareholders, $3,â€" 094.86, and accrued wages, $577.42, make up the total of $12,174.34. A byâ€"law was adopted whereby the capital stock of the company, now 4,â€" 000,000 shares of $1 par value will be increased to 5,000,000 shares of $1 par. Of the old stock 2,271,341 shares have been issued and fully paid. In order to take care of current and future deâ€" velopment and other expenditures the company has completed arrangements â€"with United States interests whereby 2,500,000 shares of the company will be disposed of at $1,500,000, on which acâ€" count $150,000 has already been paid over to theâ€"treasury. â€"Sufficient funds are now available to complete all proâ€" posed development. 1 The balance sheet, as at Dec. 31, 1929, show gassets of $2,283,515.34, of which $1,209 is cash on hand or in bank, and $46.70 sundry debts owing. Investments work already completed. He stated that it was one of the largest gold disâ€" coveries made in the district during the past year, and in order to bring to light the possibilities of the property a large amount of work is proposed for the immediate future. ~Work is now proâ€" ceeding and plans call for an additionâ€" al programme of diamond drilling to explore the minerallzation at greater depth than that already known. On the surface a quartzâ€"porphyry vein 12 feet wide and running a length of 1,720 feet has been located and. in addition a vein three to five feet over a length of 720 feet shows ore of comâ€" mercial value. Drilling from 250 to 300 feet to determine the depth of the ore. is proposed. l PROSPECTS BRIGHTER AT THE WOMAN LAKE PROPERTY M. C.
