Thursday, July 17th, 193 Story of Discovery of Hollinger is Available In a recent issue of The Haileyburian there was an article that might leave the impression that with the passing of Geo. T. Smith, of Haileybury, accurate and firstâ€"hand information in regard to the discovery of the Hollinger mine might not be available. The late Geo. T. Smith was minmg recorder at the time of the staking of the Hollinger and no doubt he had much information from the late Mr. Hollinger and from others as to the story of the finding of one of the greatest gold mines in the world. The late Mr. Smith had inâ€" tended to write out in detail the full story of the Hollinger mine and ils disvovery, but he died before he realâ€" ized this ambition. The story from the mative, but it may be said that it is an altozether wrong ifdea to believe that the death of Mr. Smith has taken away all chance of the story being written correctly and from inside knowledge. The Haileyburian is very far astray in saying that "now there will never be known the exact facts in connection with the start of the Holâ€" linger, as it is doubtful if there is anâ€" other man so well conversant with the circumstances." pen of Mr. Smith would undoubtedly have been most interesting and inforâ€" As a matter of fact there are severar> late Ben living who knew the complete story | is no on of the discovery of the Hollinger and the true lare fully conversant with the circumâ€" lsta.nces. For instance, there is Alex Gillies who was with the late Ben IHollinger at the time of staking of the Hollinger property and who for many years was a close friend of the late Mr. !Hollinger. No one is in better posiâ€" tion to tell the story of the finding of the Hollinger mine and all circumâ€" lstances connected therewith than Mr. Gillies. Some years ago Mr. Gilliss gave The Advance very interesting and complete acccunt of the discovery of the Hollinger and the starting of the big mine. This was published at the time and among those who were sprcially interested in this firstâ€"hand account, given by a man who was on the spot at the time, and also in the confidence of the discaverer, was Gzo. T. Smith, of Haileybury, who would ino doubt have quoted very copiously ! from the story by Mr. Gillies had the ipmposed plan to write an account of ; the Hcllinger properiy been carried | out by Mr. Smith. ce en ns ce en sns Several members of the Hollinger | family are also well ‘able to give the -msuie facts in the case, knowing the | story completely. Mrs. Wailter Richâ€" .ardson of Timmins, is sister of the late Ben Hollinger, and to her was told gin detail the facts about what is now | worldâ€"famous gold mine. John Ho!â€" ~linger of Swastika, is a brother of the late Ben Hollinger, and probably therse ’ is no one who is more conversan‘ with the true story than he is There has THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Presentation by Women of Moosecheart Legion A pleasing function took place in the Mcoose hall, Fourth avenue, last Friday afternoon when the members of the Women of Mooseheart Legion held an afternoon tea in honour of their Regent Mrs. H. E.

Many expressed their kind wishes for Mrs. Shippam‘s prosperity in her new sphere and a dainty luncheon of tea and cake was served. Mr. and Mrs. Shippam have taken cver the catering department at the Iroquois Falls hotel, and will remain there in future. been an idea grow up recently that the late Ben Hollinger had few, if any, living relatives, but this is far from the case. In addition to the brother and sister, mentioned above the broâ€" thers and sisters of the late Ben Holâ€" linger include:â€"Chas. Hollinger, of Fort William; Mrs. W. W. Dunn, Batâ€" tle Cresk, Michigan; and Anthony Holâ€" linger, of Pembroke. In the family there are a number of children, so the naeme of Hollinger is not likely to run out, nor is the true story of the great gold property liable to be forgotten.
