Thursday, March 20th, 1930 FIRE AT HAILEYBURY MAY HAVE BEEN INCENDIARY ONE An enquiry is being made in regard to a fire recently at the home of P. McDonough, Haileybury, as it is believyâ€"~ ed that someone may have started the blaze to hide thefts from the property while the owner was away. Mr. Mcâ€" Donough has been working in Rouyn and his wife was away on a visit to him at the time the fire occurred. The ‘Ill‘\‘\"‘l zt L fifififigfifififififififififififififififififififi 555555555555555555555555555555555555% fire chief at Haileybury is quoted as beâ€" ing of the opinion that some person or persons may have started the fire to cover their tracks after gaining ilâ€" legal entry to the building. Very seriâ€" ous damage was done to the building. The ground floor was gutted, the conâ€" tents went up in smoke, and the stairâ€" | tccauth d way afici parfitlons were destroyed. The fire started in a pile of papers under the stairs, the fire chief thinks, and the blaze did not apparently originate from FROMG.G. MARTIN FURCOMPANYOF TORONTO DIRECT FROM the stove or pipes. Two men motoring to New Liskeard noticed the fire in the building and gave the alarm. At that time, however, the blaze had quite a headway and gave the fire brigade quite a battle before the fire was subâ€" dued. Some articles are missing from the house, and these are thought to have been taken by the person or perâ€" sons who caused the fire to hide their theft. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Last week Harry J. McKinnon and Cleveland McKinnon were arrested on charges of fraud following investigation by the Ontario Fire Marshal‘s departâ€" ment of fires in Sudbury in which the McHKinnons were the owners of the property concerned. The wholesale grocery warehouse owned by the Mcâ€" Kinnons was destroyed by fire last FRAUD AND PERJURY CASES FOLLOW FINES AT SUDBURY November and objection was taken t,ol the statement of loss as presented byo the firm.

Denny, of the McIntyre Points Out Methods That May be Employed. Address to Canadian Mining Institute at Toronto Reâ€" centlyv. Series fAiltration, which has replacec the counterâ€"current decantation proâ€" cess in some gold mines, was described as a step in the right direction by J. J. Denny, metallurgical engineer of the McIntyreâ€"Porcupine Mines Ltd., in his paper on Gold Mining in Canada preâ€" sented before the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr. Denny said Canadian‘ metallurgâ€" ; ists were looking for a process that might economically conmpete with thel present day method and at the same | time reduce capital expenditure. In view of the fact, that he, at thel present time, is conducting experiments: at the McIntyre with a 100â€"ton mill to test out on a commercial scale, methods which gave much promise in laboratory tests, Mr. Denhy‘s paper attracted much interest. Although no mention was made of the results he had obtainâ€" ed, his paper indicated the lines along which he had been working. i The big expense factors faced by the| gold mines of the north country, are the excessive cost of building and equipment and the heating of large milling plants in the winter months. Mr. Denny pointed out that further reâ€" duction in plants and equipment would be made possible by the introduction ! of the flotation process prior to cyanidâ€" ation. With the discovery of comâ€" pounds having a greater selectivity for mineral particles than anything heretoâ€" fore used, a process may be developed to eliminate a product of a grade below Ithe economic limits of cyanidation, at [ a low cost, and at the same time proâ€" duce a small tonnage of highâ€"grade concentrate for subsequent treatment. Should this be accomplished, stated Mr. Denny, it is qu‘te possible the floâ€" tation process will play a major part in the future recovery of gold from Canadian ores. Mr. Denny gave a resume of past and | present methods of gold milling emâ€"| ployed in Canada. Milling of gold wasl first attempted in Canada following| the discovery of lode gold in Nova,l Scotia in 1860. The methods used were crude, as were those first used in Onâ€" tario with the discovery of gold in the Lake of the Woods district in the early seventies. Stamps and arrestre were used to recover the free gold and conâ€" centration, chlorination and cyanidaâ€" tion were later introduced at some mines and also in southeastern Ontario, but these mines, as well as the Lake of thse Woods operations closed down many years ago. and it was not until the discovery of the Porcupine field in 1909 and Kirkland Lake in 1912, that zold milling on a big scale was first developed in Canada. _ The methods employed in Porcupine, and Kirkland Lake are much similar. At the outset the practice adopted was similar to that followed in other countries but climatic and other conditions necessiâ€" tated modifications of both methods and equipment. The practice established was cyanidâ€" ation, amalgzamation, and concentraâ€" tion, or a combination of these proâ€" zsesses. The practices used by the prinâ€" cipal mills was illustrated with their fnow sheets. Mr. Denny‘s paper will also be preâ€" sented at the Third Empire Mining and Metallurgical Congress to be openâ€" ed in South Africa the end of March. â€"Financial Post. HEAVY FINES IMPOSED ON CHARGES OF HIGHâ€"GRADING Fines of $200 and $100, respectively with costs in each case of $21, were imâ€" pdsed by Magistrate Atkinson, in police court on Saturday last at Haileybury, on Elias Ruismaki and Onni Siro, who pleaded guilty to charges of "highâ€" grading." Over five pounds of silver ore wetre found in Ruismaki‘s trunk when it was searched by provincial officers at Coâ€" balt. The accused alleged they knew nothâ€" ing of its presence in the trunk, which had been packed, they said, by ancother person. Both men, who had been working at the Castleâ€"Tretheway mine in Gowâ€" ganda are on their way to Pinland.

It is generally believed, that a proposal of some kind will be placed before the directors for consideration. NORTH BAY LOOKING FOR TUBERCULOSIS SANITARIUM The need for additional tuberculosis sanitarium accommodation is in the annual report of the provincial department of health, and The North Bay Nugget promptly agrees, adding that it is more than likely that a new sanitarium for the North Land will be established at North Bay. The Nugâ€" get shows why the institution should be established at North Bay, the chief reason, according to The Nugget being that it is dangerous to attempt to move tuberculosis patients any long distance. It is plain to The Nugget apparently, but will not be so plain to people in other parts of the North, that to move a North Bay patient to New Liskeard or Haileybury, for instance, would be highly dangerous, but it would be all right to move a tubercular patient from Haileybury or New Liskeard or even Kapuskasing to North Bay. This sort of reasoning is one reason why the newspapers of the North gently suggest on occasion that North Bay is not the North. If only one additional sanitariâ€" um is to be established for the North it should certainly be established at some more central place than North Bay. It is not likely that any North Land town will be anxious for such an institution, but in the interests of comâ€" mon sense some other place than North Bay should be chosen. The "gateway‘" is tco far away from the main part of the community. In an editorial article last week The North Bay Nugget says:â€"*"The annual report of the Provincial Department of Health states that no substantial proâ€" gress can be made in the treatment of tuberculosis unless additional sanitariâ€" um accommodation is provided in the outlying parts of the province. The work of doctors and scientists who are striving to combat this dread disease is being seriously handicapped by the fact that a great number of patients are unâ€" able to gain admission to the already overcrowded sanitariums of the proâ€" vince. It has been definitely establishâ€" ad that to move a tubercular patient any considerable distance is distinctly harmful and places an additional obâ€" stacle in the way of recovery. In orâ€" der to overcome this, the report, which has just been tabled, suggests that adâ€" ditional sanitarium accommodation be lccated in various parts of the proâ€" vince, including the eastern portion of Northern Ontario. The district of Nipissing being the most easterly disâ€" trict of Northern Ontario, it is more than likely that North Bay will be chosen as the site of a new sanitarium. Such an institution would serve a large field and relieve the health officers of much anxiety by taking care of the many serious cases which, under the present circumstances, have to suffer in The T.
