M. SMITH, CL.U., BRANCH MANAGER Capitol Theatre Block, North Bay, Ont. HEAD OFFICEâ€"TORONTO, CANADA commencing at 9 a.m. (Auspices of the Rebekahs) for Seck to Elimniinate Use of Degs in Hunting Deer When Alec Dewar, now in Toronto with the Abitibi Power and Paper Co., was in Iroquois Falls as editor of The Broke Hustler, he referred quite freâ€" quently to what he considered the unâ€" sportsmanlike practice of using dogs in the hunting of deer. At first when he urged the elimination of the use of dogs in deer hunting he did not receive as general support as he did later on but the circle of thoSe agreeing with him gradually widened until those opâ€" posed to the use of dogs were in the vast majority among the hunters. Those who remember Alex Dewar‘s perâ€" sistency in this matter will be specially interested in the fact that this week representations were made to the Deâ€" partment of Game and Fisheries on beâ€" half of a gathering of several hundred big game hunters representing ten counties of Western Ontario, with a view to having the use of dogs eliminâ€" ated in the hunting of deer in Northern Ontario. The delegation also asked for an increase to the bounty on wolves, and to prevent the commercializing of the hunt for the benefit of United States sportsmen. Ssam Harris and < Colonel Harry Cameron, champions of the cause of game preservation, were the chier speakers at the meeting. Mr. Harris pointed out that Ontario was the, only place on the continentâ€"in fact, witn the exception of stag hunting in Great Britain, the only place in the worldâ€" where the dog was still used in hunting deer. "The time has come," he said, "when hunters must take action to conserve the sport enjoyed for centuries and the experience of the last few seasons leave no doubt that the rest of the world is right and we are wrong." In analyzing the last vote taken on the question of dogs in 1922, he declarâ€" ed that the predominance of opinion in favour of hunting deer with dogs was in the southern counties. The Alâ€" gonquin country, Kenora, Rainy River, in fact all the northern districts, where first hand information would be expectâ€" ed to be found in respect to the quesâ€" tion, were to a large extent opposed to the use of dogs in the hunt. He preâ€" dicted that another vote, taken toâ€"day, would show the vast majority of the hunters willing to abandon their dogs for the sake of conserving the remainâ€" ing deer. He favoured the instituting of a duck law, and increasing the bounâ€" ty on wolves from $15 to $40 per pelt. He was willing, also, to have the huntâ€" ing season curtailed if necessary. FISH AND GAME CLUB NOW PROPOSED FOR FOUR TOWNS A proposal to form a fish and game associatio nfor the four towns, Coâ€" balt. New Liskeard,â€" Haileybury and Englehart is at present being given special attention in the district conâ€" cerned and especially in the four towns named. A. McMenemy, of Englehart, is taking an active part in the preliâ€" minary steps toward forming proâ€" tective association of this nature, and he has been conferring with sportsmen in the section with a view to starting up the association in the near future. Mr. McMenemy‘s idea is that the four towns of Englehart, New Liskeard, Haileybury and Cobalt should unite for the purpose, and he claims that an organization would help both the conâ€" servation of fishing and the reâ€"stocking of the waters and also make for a better observation of the game laws generally. It is expected that the proâ€" posed body will be functioning before the summer. Probably a meeting will be called for an early date, at which future action will be discussed by reâ€" presentatives from the four communiâ€" ties. The Nipissing Fish and Game Protective Association, at North Bay, has been consulted, through some of its of-iiâ€"c_ials,' and from them particulars were obtained of the work being done there and the constitution of the asâ€" sociation JUVENILES FROM COCHRANE PLAY AT SOUTH PORCUPINE Reminisc»«ces of Old Time Hockey in South Porcupine. Visitors to and From South End...Other South Porcupine News Items. South Porcupine, March 18th, 1930 Special to The Advance. * Congratulations from South Porcuâ€" pine to "Mac‘"‘ McGill and his Hamilâ€" ton Tigers. May his shadow in hockeyâ€" dom never grow less! Those who were in Porcupine back in the halcyon days of 1911 and 1912 will remember "Mac" as the genial manager of the Carr Hardâ€" ware, who was instrumental in helping to organize the first South Porcupine Hockey Club, There was no trouble that first winter of the "boom" days in getting hotkey material as the lure of gold had brought many of the best here from the realm of sport as well as other fields. South Porcupine had two exceptional teamsâ€"the Town team managed by "Mac‘ McGill, and the Ircquois made up mostly from boardâ€" ers at the Iroquois hotel, managed by S. Kennedy. The canvasâ€"covered rink was crowded to capacity with rival supâ€" porters. "*"Them were the days," oldâ€" timers still tell you whata reminiscent chuckle. No N.O.H.A. looming over one, with "Thou must" or "Thou must not." Hockey was hockey and every play a thrill. Mr.J. Cattarello is on a business trip Mr.J. Cattarello is on a business trip to Toronto. o Mr. Leo Sargent is spending a couple of weeks at his home in Arnprior. Sister Mary Naomi, of Pembrokse, and Sister Mary Thomas, of Timmins were last week the guests of Mrs. Cecil Kavanagh. Mr. A. Keates and family of the Paymaster Mine are moving shortly to the Abana Mine, Quebsc. In a noisy, energetic game at the arena last Friday night the Bearcats met the Explorers and won out by a seore of 4â€"3. i Then on Saturday afternoon Mel Owens was down from Cochrane with his Midget Maple Leaf Hockey team made up of boys under fourteen years of age, who defeated the Porcupine Bearcats in an exciting game with a score of 5â€"4. The two teams lined up: Cochraneâ€"goal, McCauley; defence, Gauthier and Miller; forwards, Owens, Lozan and Fasanco;.alternates, Palâ€" angio, Cherie, Eaton, Thompson and Pickering; manager and coach, Mel Owens, a former resident of South: Porcupine, and member of the first Sseuth Porcupine Hockey Club in 1911. Porcupine Bearcatsâ€"goal, Matti Miller; defence, McCann and Miller; forwards, P. O‘Shea, T. Wright and P. Cunningâ€" ham; alternates, Train, Webster, Cecâ€" coni, Cunningham and Laffin. Reâ€" feree, Carlo Cattarello. The Cochrane team had played Timmins in the morning but still had plenty of pep left. Fasonio was the best man on the ice, his stickhandling at times being masterly, for one so young. He was responsible for three of the goals his team made while Miller put across thie cther twq. For Porcupine Bearcats, McCann starred making three of their counters while Laffin was responsible for the other. The zip with which the young Bearcats sailed into their heavyâ€" ier rivals was an eyeâ€"opener to those who had not seen these young whirlâ€" winds in action before. Cochrane showed excellent coaching and real ability. The pupils of the Dome and South Porcupine are being prepared for anâ€" other operetta, "Crystal Queen," under the direction of Miss Burns, musical directress of the schools. This is to be given in the High School hall on the evening of Friday, April 4th. More than one hundred and fifty pupils are taking part in it and there are twelve leading characters. Remembering the excellent standard of these operettas in the past, there is sure to be a crowdâ€" ed house. We hear that Mr. G. Doan, formerly shift boss of the Dome, has gone to Red Lake to be mine captain. The Roman Catholic Church here, St. Joachim‘s, held forty hours of deâ€" votion last week. The visiting priesis from outside were Father Leduc, of Ramore, Father Morrow, of Val Gagne, Father Pelletier, of Iroquois Falls, and Father Theriault, of Timmins. Miss MacNeil, nurse at the Porcuâ€" pine hospital, has gone to her home in Toronto. Another weekend game was arrangâ€" ed between Tommy Feldman‘s team and a team captained by W. Jago, of Timmins, and once again Tommy‘s team were on the better side of a 3â€"1 score. E. J. Jamieson acted as referee. The teams lined up:â€"W. Jago‘sâ€"goal, Hodnette; defence, Fell and Spence; centre, Laflamme; wings, Proulx, Jago, McKinnon. T. Feldman â€" goal, S. Burns; defence, W. McLean and J. Burns; centre, Cook; wings, Gagnon and Doran; subs, Jemmett, Cattarello, Mahoney. Some smart hockey was witnesesd by those who were present and conâ€" sidering the ice there was speed to burn. At times the checking was parâ€" ticularly heavy. During the first periâ€" od Spence made the only score, putâ€" ting Jago‘s team one up. The score sheet was all Feldman for the remaindâ€" er 0o‘ the game, Jemmett being reâ€" sponsible for two and Cook for one of the three goals. Another goal claimed for Jago‘s team was disallowed. Miss Betty Pearce is hol_idaying in Toronto. 4 THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Help for the Settlers In District of Cochrane The present agitation for better conâ€" sideration for the settlers in the Disâ€" trict of Cochrane has been receiving sympathetic attention from both the North and the South. Newspapers both in the South as well as the North have been kindly attentive to the case as presented by the settlers themselves. One of the most sympathetic and inâ€" tallignt of the newspapers in the South in this matter has been The Toronto Mail and Empire. This Toronto daily has made several editorial references to the question and on Monday of this week under the heading, "Help for the Settlers in the District of Cochrane" had the following editorial reference:â€" "The petition for relief which thne settlers of the district of Cochrane have prepared for presentation to the Govâ€" ernment of Ontario deserves serious | consideration. It is claimed that while industries in Northern Ontario have been going ahead rapidly agriculture has been stagnant and that the greatâ€" . est prosperity can be brought about only by the simultaneous development of the two. It is also claimed that the price of pulpweod is not enough to enâ€" able the settler to make a living and to clear his land, that the present setâ€" tlers‘ loan system has not met the situâ€" ation; that there are still great numâ€" bers of settlers without roads, and that the lots of 75 or 80 acres are not large enough. The settlers want the size of the lots restored to the original size of 150 or 160 acres, claiming that they have reached a stage where great acreâ€" age of cleared land is essential to thetr existence, and that they will be comâ€" pelled to abandon their farms unless adverse conditions are improved. They ask that settlers be paid a bonus for iclearmg the land and seeding it, and that a separate department of colonizâ€" ation be formed in order to secure the judicious settlement of Northern Onâ€" tario. The Haileyburian, published at Haileybury, which is not in the district affected though close to it, says that the farmer se§tlers about Cochrane have made out a good case for help, and that their requests are not unreaâ€" sonable, and it hopes that the Governâ€" ment will do all in its power to meet these requests, as anything that will tend to better the lot of the pioneer will result in improvement to the counâ€" try as a whole." | l | Calgary Herald:â€"The oldâ€"time and muchâ€"cherished supremacy of the older provinces in the pastime of curling apâ€" pears to have been sunk without trace.

There is so much interest in the whole Red Lake and Patricia district that the progress of the Howey is watched with the keenest interest. For this reason The Advance gives the folâ€" lowing despatch from Sioux Lookout this week in full:â€" Followers of the Red Lake district have seen their dreams come true. Power is available, electric lights are burning, and the pilot mine of the area (the Howey Goid Mines) has been brought into production. Milling operations were started last week and, within a comparatively short time, officials will witness â€" the first pouring of gold. This will be followed by shipments of this precious metal. Howey has had an upâ€"hill climb in that it took all the faith pioneers of the North could muster to undertake the task which others had sideâ€"stepped. The first dampening of hopes for the Red Lake area came with the withâ€" drawal of a gold mining enterprise of Northern Ontario. Later, after J. E. Hammell had taken over the reins, the question of transportation difficulties had to be faced. Also, power must necessarily be provided. However, these barriers have all been pushed aside and a mill with a capacity of around 750 tons daily has gone into operation. It is not to be expected that only one mine exists in this section of the Red Lake district and, like other fields such as Porcupine and Kirkland Lake, it seems reasonable to believe that withâ€" in the next few years followers of this area will be celebrating the commenceâ€" ment of production on neighbouring properties uht w M 40 10 As evidence of the cautious policy o‘ Howey Gold Mines, it is important to note that before going into producâ€" tion the concern had developed in the neighbourhood . of $5,000,000 in ore. Not only this, but work was carried to a depthv of 1,000 feet to permit enlargâ€" ing the scope of underground develog ment at such time as the mill comâ€" menced to function. Now, while ore for production is being taken from above the 500â€"ft. level, development will be proceeding below the 500â€"ft. level, to the 1,000â€"ft. level. From presâ€" ent indications, ore exists in larger volume between the 500 and 1,000â€"ft. levels than above the 500. Despite the fact that a mill is now operating, it is quite probable" that ore reserves be again added to during the current year. So far, about three miles of latâ€", eral work has been carried out. Later, when profits commence to come in, it is possible that another chaft will be put aown to a point about oneâ€"quarter of a mile to the east. Reâ€" sults through diamond drilling in that direction are favourable. Highly comâ€" mercial values over good m{nerable width have been indicated. In view of the higher values obtained to the east through diamond drilling, hopes are entertained that accordingly as drifting is carried in that direction, from the present underground workings, there will be substantial improvement in the average grade of ore. Howey officials maintain that the average grade is about $7 to the ton, throughout the sections so far developâ€" E_ O OS 0 Te on ed, while others who have followed deâ€" | velopments closely are of the belief that a higher average will be shown through productiom. At any rate, there are indications of developing aA higher average in various directions and, in the meantime, the enterprise will reaâ€" lize substantial profits on the $7 maâ€" terial. ' As soon as the mill is stepped up to 500 tons daily, provided the average grade is $7 to the ton, Howey‘s output will be at the rate of about $1,250,000 annually. Later, with the operation at the rate of 750 tons daily, outputâ€"on an average of $7 to the tonâ€"will be at the rate of nearly $1,900,000 annually. This rate is more than equal to that witnessed at the Wrightâ€"Hargreaves in 1929. Indeed, only five gold mines proâ€" duced more than that amount during 1929. In order they are: Hollinger, Lake Shore, Teckâ€"Hughes, MciIntyreâ€" Porcupine and Dome Mines. Wrightâ€" Hargreaves is expected to increase its output during theâ€"current year. Thereâ€" fore, by the time Howey is worked up to 750 tons dailyâ€"provided a higher | average than that expected is not deâ€". velopedâ€"it is quite probable that the. |latber will take seventh place among the gold producers of Ontario. A more accurate forecast, however, will be posâ€" sible after the Howey mill has been in operation for a few months. Meantime, the fact that the mine | has been successfully brought into proâ€" duction represents a triumph for J. E. Hammell, for, had it not been for that ‘ individual, Howey would not, at this time, have reached the production ‘ stage. JAMES McGILL RONEY DIES AT SAULT STE. MARIE, ONT. A despatch this week from Pembroke, Ont., says:â€"*"Word was received here of the death, in Sault Ste. Marie, of James McGill Roney, eldest son of R. J. Roney, former county clerk, Pemâ€" broke, and the late Mrs. Roney. The late McGill Roney, as he was known hereabouts, had been ill for a few days with a cold, but had been going around until yvesterday when he was removed to the Soo General Hospital. It was fcund that he was suffering from emâ€" bolism and died shortly after being adâ€" mitted. Born at Eganvilie, the late J. McGill Roney was about 43 years of age. With his fami‘ly he came to Pemâ€" broke about 20 years ago and some time later went to Hearst, Ont., where, with his brother, he was in business for a number of years. For the past five or he had lived at Sault Ste. Marie. About 10 years ago he married Miss Sophie Atkinson, of the Soo, who surâ€" vives, with three sons, McGill, Kenneth and Edwin. A little daughter died five months ago. Mourning his death also are his father, who last December reâ€" tired from the position of county clerk here, and two brothers and four sisâ€" tersâ€"Basil Roney, of Kapuskasing; Rev. R. J. Roney, assistant priest at Eganville; Rev. Sister M. Cecilia, of Barrys Bay; Mrs. Robert Hoggarth, Kirkland Lake; Miss Berna Roney, Flint, Mich., and Miss Marguerite Roney, Pembroke. All the members of the family have left for Sault Ste. Marie to attend the funera, which will take place there on Tuesday mornâ€" ing." MEETING OF TIMMINS WELSH MALE VOICE PARTY MARCH 23 A meeting of the Timmins Welsh Male Voice Party will be held in the Hollinger Recreation hall on Sunday morning, March 23rd, at 10 @am. ‘There is very important business to be before the meeting and all are kindly asked to make it a special point to be present. The old and rare coin brought in to The Advance this week by H. Grewcoe, of South Porcupine, has puzzled the staff here as to what sort of a coin it really is though there have been literâ€" ally hundreds of old coins shown to The Advance in the past few months since special reference was made to old coins held by local people. The coin brought in by Mr. Grewcoe appears to be an old Roman coin. It certainly Is an old one, but there is no one here expert enough to venture an opinion S to its present or past value. It is made of copper and on the one side are two heads, with the laurel crowns showing. Above the heads are the letters "Imp‘" and beneath there are letters that seem to be "Divoe." At first the letter beâ€" neath were thought to be a date but when the concluding diphthong was leciphered it was easy to see that the letter were not Roman numerals. On the reverse side of the coin there is representation of a tree and also of some animal, perhaps a griffin. The coin is so old and worn by age that it is not easy to distinguish either the lettering or the design. Roman coins are being dug up in quantities in variâ€" ous places where the Romans held sway. The coin held by Mr. Grewcoe may not be a valuable one but it is cerâ€" tainly an interesting one and the sort not often seen. Mr. Grewcoe has had it a long time and it was in the family possession many years before he saw it. It originally was dug up from the ground in Leicestershire, England, so many years ago that it is only tradiâ€" tion as to when its actual unearthing took place. i ~ | | | | LOOKS LIKE A ROMAN COIN OF VERY ANCIENT VINTAGE Saturday, March 22nd, 1930 HOLLINGER RECREATION HALL DA NCE Under A Auspxces of Cornish Social Club â€"Dancing at 8.30 p.m. CLUB ROYAL ORCHESTRA Admission 75¢ per Couple Thursday, March 20th, 1930 Timmins Branch No. 88 B.E.S.L.
