On Wednesday evening, Prof. Duxâ€" bury gave an effective presentation of the story of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" weired and sptripping ,story by Roâ€" bert Louis Stevenson. He also gave Arthur Duxbury, tenor soloist, deâ€" lig‘hted with his fine voice and speâ€" ctal musical talent and training. Every number given by him was encored an: fully deserved the encore. In numbers like "Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes," "Oh, Bright was the Morning," h# particularly pleased the gatherings. In humorcus numbers he also made special hits It is not too much to say that all were delighted with Mr. Arthur Duxbury and his fine tenor voics. Mrs J. W. Faithful added to the success of the numbers by her excellent work as accompanist on the piano. _Rev. Bruce Millar introduced Prof. Duxbury and Mr. Arthur Duxbury in pleasing way. Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Horn®y and son, Bertie, left this (Thursday) tmorning for a meonth‘s holiday visit to the Old Country. They will visit at their old home in Rugby, England, and then take a tour through France and Belâ€" ghium.

If the fire that destroved Mr. Shumaliak‘s property was accidentally caused by the work of the fire rangers in any way, it would seem that recompense should be made him for the loss sustained. In saying this there is no criticism of the fire rangers, who, from all accounts, apipear to be doing excellent work and showing both skill and carefulness. Accidents, however, may occur at any time and despite the greatest care. â€" Investigaâ€" tion of the matter is being made at present to learn the facts of the case, A. F. Kenning, M.P.P., having taken an interest in the case and starting proceedings to learn the cause of the fire in this instance. If the fire was due to causes originating in the work of the fire rangers it would seem that the Government should see that Mr. Shumaliak does not lose through the accident. On the other hand if the cause of the fire was due to accident or carelessness on the part of other than Government employees the case will have to be dealt with differently. W. STEWART. To Mr. Stewart‘s letter might be addâ€" ed the suggestion that those interested, and all should be interested, might well take the trouble to approach members of the council, urging that safety be the first consideration in connection with this matter. Hence my reason for writing you, Mr. Editor, to grant space in the valuable columns of The Advance for the purâ€" pose of my endorsement of Mr. Wightâ€" man‘s good services, and to ask all concerned to support such aripeals for the safety of all innocent children. Yours sincerely, House Destroyed by Grass Fire at Drinkwater Pit PLANNING JUNIOR LACROSSE TEAMS AT THE DOME MINES Plans are now under way to have a couple of junior lacrosse teams at the Dome. It is hoped to have a repreâ€" sentative from the Ontaric Lacrosse League visit the Dome and place the case for lacrosse before the public. Lacrosse as the national game of Canâ€" ada has its own attractions. Any laâ€" crosse player will cheerfully admit it is the greatest of all games and for developing the best type of good manâ€" hood there is nothing to excel it. The belief is general that the boys at the Dome would take gladly to lacrosse and that the game would prove popular with players and public alike. Startâ€" ng with the boys it would n> doubt lead to a senior team or two being formed and then likely this attractive snd useful game would spread to other parts of this North. Both Timmins and Schumacher had good lacrosse teams some ten ysars ago and there was great interest in the matches. Big crowds turmed out and enjoyed the laâ€" croise matches those days. The house and sheds on the farm of Jas. Shumalisk, settler at Drinkwater Pit, were destroyed by fire last week, with Mr. Shumaiak thus suffering a heavy loss. Mr. Shumaliak says that the fire originated in a grass fire set out by fire rangers for clearing purâ€" poses to do away with the menace of ary grass from the standpoint of safeâ€" ty from fire. Evidently if the fire started in this way it must have gained unexpected headway while the fire ranâ€" gers were elsewhere. During the past week or two the fire rangers are creâ€" dited with doing excellent work in the line of burning dangerous grass spots, A mixadi 2â€"bal roursome in golf is planned for this week. The Advance very heartily commends the following letter from a~ valued reader of this paper. It shows the right attitude in double way, being eviâ€" dence of interest in public matters of safety and also urging, as it doeés coâ€" operation from the public to the plea for safetyâ€"first for the school children as made by the principal of the Central public school some days ago. The letâ€" ter is as follows:â€" Writer Urges Support to Principal in Regard for Protection of Children from the Danger of Parked Cars Near the School.

Noct until one has operated this type of brakes, is it possible to gain a true conception of their efficienâ€" cy, smocthness and positive action.

STEELDRAULIC BRAKES ON NEW DURANT FOUR Many favourable comments are beâ€" ing heard these days regarding the roacability of the new Durant Four, which was recently offered to the Canâ€" adian public by Durant Motors of Canada Limited. Steeldraulic brakes combine the irâ€" ressistible acticn of the wedge with the smoothness of the cam. They are selfâ€" energizing, quick and pewerful and give troubleâ€"free service.

The following is the schedule for the Tisdale Softball League games. Fans interested should clip out the schedule and preserve for referencs. The games are between Schumacher and South Pcercuping ‘teams and as both towns have very able talent in softball the matches can be expected to be both interesting and exciting. The games are he‘!d on Mondays of each week and at Schumacher and South Porcupine alternately. The schedule follows:â€" June 2â€"South Porcupline at Schuâ€" macher. June 9â€"Schumacher at South Porcuâ€" pine. â€"June 16â€"South Porcupine at Schuâ€" macher. The new Four is also becoming popuâ€" lar as an exceptionally easy riding car. One reason for this is the smooth, "velvety" action of the twoâ€"way hyâ€" draulic shock absorbers. The new twoâ€" way principle, which is an integral part of the spring action, absorbs road shocks, prevents rebounds and helps to make motoring more comfortable and enjoyabel. North. It is hoped that a large delegation will go aot#n from Timmins and district to see this event. It will certainly be well worth it. There will be some of the clever Timmins boxers taking part in the evening‘s sport. Roy Hamilton, the gifted young boxer, will meet Lint Green, former flyâ€"weight champion of Canada, 118 pounds. This is expected to be one of the best bouts seen in the North. Kid Williams, of Kirkland Lake, Ontario welterweight champion, will be matched with Tony Pennick, city of Hamilton. This will likely be worth an coupleâ€"of times the price of admission. Johnnie Rock, a former Scottish champicon, will be another of the outstanding figures on the proâ€" gramme. Donat Richard, the clever younz Timmins boxer, will try concluâ€" sions with Chester Gabriel, of Kirkland Lake. Both these lads are good. Richard made a big hit recently at the Cornish Football Club smoker here. "Slab" Godin one of the clever Timâ€" mins lads, wil take on Gordie Smith, of Kirkland Lake. This will be a good bout. Remember the date and the placeâ€" Tuesday, May 27th, at Kirkland Lake. Schedule for Tisdale Softball League Games A whist drive, under the auspices of Ladies® Auxiliary of the Canadian Leâ€" gion will be held in the Oddfellows‘ hall, Timmins, on Monday evening of next week, ,May 26th. There will be goocd prizes and a good time for all. Refreshments will be served and there will be a social hour. This event is one that none will care to The reason for the change is to preâ€" vent any confict with the bg day put on by the Legion at Timmins on May 24th. The noted Kirkland Lake boxer and promoter, Bill Stevens, Ontario middleâ€" weight champion, is here these days training the boys for the bouts on May 2"th. To The Advance this week he gave the information that the date of Kirkland Lake‘s big boxing feature had been changed to May 27th so as not to interfere with the Timmins event. The programms on May 27th, he added, woud be one of the most interesting Readers of The Advance are askec to kindly note that the boxing event at Kirkland Lake will be held on May 27th. It was originally intended to hold the feature on May 24th. There is an item on another page of this section sitting the date as May 24th, but this date has been changed. The new date is Tuesday, May 27th. Event Planned for May 24th Postponed to Tuesday Next May 2Ith so as Not to Conflict With Big Day at Timmins. BOXING AT KIRKLAND LAKE POSTPONFD UNTIL MAY 21 active ever presented in the THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO An attempt was made on Tuesday morning about 2.30 to enter the S. Bucovetsky Store. A window at the rear of the store had been left unâ€" hooked and some boxes and barrels being nearby it tempted some sncopers passing to try to gain entry. The wouldâ€"be robbers climbed on the boxes and barrels and had their hands on the ledge of the window. The marks of their fingers on the ledge were plainly evident. However, some people living nearby on their way home noticed the robbers at the window and the police were notified. Apparently the wouldâ€" be robbers were suspicious that they had been ncticed and so made a quick getaway. When Constable Parcher arâ€" rived on the scene the robbers had disâ€" appeared, but evidence of their preâ€" sence was left behind in the barrel piled on the boxes and the finger prints on the window ledge. From the apâ€" pearance of the window Constable Parcher did not think that the robbers had been successful in making entry, but he called Mr. Bucovetsky and the two of them went through the store and found that the wouldâ€"be robbers had not entered and nothing had been stolen so far as a quick checkâ€"up would indicate. The police could secure no further trace of the wouldâ€"be robbers than the finger »prints but they are working on the case and it may be This is the Week of the _â€"Firemen‘s Annual Ball possible The annual ball of the Timmins Fire Brigade is looked upon as one of the pleasing and important_events of the season. This year the Firemen are out to outdo past successes. The event will be held on Friday evening of this week, May 23rd, in the Masonic hall, Timmins. This will be the fourteenth annual ball of the Timmins Firemen, and they have not had anything but successes so far. This year is planned to be the fourteenth successful ball. Chief Borland and his men have been meeting with the usual success in the sale of tickets and there is the usual zseneral interest in this regular comâ€" munity event. The firemen are popuâ€" lar and their ball is one of the most popular of the social events each seaâ€" son. The Club Royal orchestra will provide the best of music, and the reâ€" freshments and other features will be up to the high standards that have made the FPiremen‘s ball at Timmins so invariable a rێeasing success. Reports coming recently from Sudâ€" bury suggest that mercury has been found in Trill township in its native state. The discovery was considered to be a valuable one not so much beâ€" cause it is a mineral of rare occurrence but because its presence would add anâ€" other to the growing list of minerals in the Sudbury area. It is the ambition cf every mining camp to have several different lines of minerals to carry on with, the diversified nature of the proâ€" ducts adding to the general permenâ€" ency ~and progress of the district. When the market is poor for one line it is likely to be good for another and so production may be cfrried on with fewer of the disarrangements that often trouble mining camps. However, no sooner was mercury reported as being present in Trill township in paying quantities than there was a counter report saying the discovery had no importance: â€" Following this again there came the replies. One of there replies took a strange forward. It was what misht be termed "physical evidence" that there was mercury in quantity in the,;Trill township rock. The incident to confirm Trill as a mercury field is thus told. While W. C. Davis, of the Sudbury assay office and Barry Endleâ€" man, a prospector, were working over some samples from Trill they both beâ€" came suddenly nauseated and were threatened with violent illness. This is taken as a proof of the presence of mercury, the effect of which is similar to the description given of the illness cf the two men. Results of the assay were not particularly satisfactory and failed to show anything like the specâ€" tacular quantites of mercury that were previously extracted by distillation, but Mr. Davis explains that by the fact that mercury being highly volatile may have escaped while the rock was being powâ€" dered. Mercury in liquid form or as a gas is a violent poison and the sudâ€" den feeling of illness which attacked the men at the same time may ‘have‘ been caused by this contact, it is said. No further developments have occurred in connection with the supposed merâ€" cury discovery and the question of the eccnomical importance of the find is still as undecided as it was two weeks ago when it was first reported. Wheâ€" ther or not the discovery proves to be commercially important, according to Mr. Beath, further work will be done on the claims, as there are also evidences of cther important minerals, including nickel and copper. The mercury disâ€" covery, in fact, lay within half a mile and on the same break as a promising outcrop of copperâ€"nickel mineralization. Attempted Robbery at S. Bucovetsky‘s This Week Rev. J. D.

Asked about these, N. A. Timmins, president said to the Northern Miner, "I don‘t feel that I should talk about new ore in detail yet, because the cccurrences may not prove to be very extensive when we get over to them with our underground work but we are opening up considerable new ore and making very good and very interesting discoveries in diamond drillâ€" ing. Of course some of these bodies may prove under intensive development, to have only very short lengths of ore. Conditicns are really very good at Holâ€" linger. < Production is excellent and we are going to make the dividend easily this year. Asked about geological conâ€" ditions, Mr. Timmins said the informaâ€" tion they were getting was all quite favourable. There have been reports lately about new ore being found by the drilling at the west end of the mine. The president contented himself with saying, regarding this, that they had favourable geological data but could not say very much about the situation there at this time. Mtrs.
