Timmi‘ns, have completed arrangements and will hold A Mammoth Exhibition and Carnival IN THE SKATING RINK ‘Something different and novel has been thought of in the way of‘ giving a 1930 Ford Sedan away. The car will run on the streets for twenty-eight hours and the person guessing the correct mileage will be the happy winner of the car. Tickets are $1.00 which in addition to giving a guess of the mileage also has five admissions to the Rink. Tickets may be purchased from any member of the lodge. Beautiful GOOD NEWS merchandise will be displayed in attractively decorated booths. Good music and dancing will help those so inclined to make merry. Some high class Vaudeville Acts have been engaged that will come direct from Buffalo, Detroit and Toronto. The best prizes that money can buy will be given to the winners at the various concessions. The Moose have always shown a spirit of co-operation for the good of any cause in Timmins, and in a very quiet way take care of and help those in need and are distressed in any way, regardless of creed. It is to be hoped that every person will boost the Moose Exhibi- tion along, and make it the biggest event over staged in Timmins. Matineeâ€"Daily at 2.30 pm.

Hammell and to Dr. R. C. Wallace for their encouragement during the difficult days which preced- ed the sale of the property to the Whit- ney interests. Mr. Dion also provided the profes- sional element present with an amus- ing sketch of the experience of a pros- pector over a period of years. The search for the grubstake. the find. the sale and the ultimate prosperity phases he outlined in interesting detail. He arerred that the size of hat a prospec- tor wore was an index to his current status. He claimed he passed through a wide range of headpieces himself. and at one time had quite a stack. Lately. he says. he has hunted out the smallest of the lot. In semi-serious manner Mr. Dion tcuched on realities in the life of the prospector. The familiar phase or searching for a hacker or for a grub- stake; the indifference of the public; the refusal of the storekeeper to sup- ply the grubstake; the discouragement of the mine hunter; his frantic work. in the bush; the raising and the dash- ing of hopes; all these points are poignantly familiar to the dweller in mining towns. ‘ Then there came the dawn of pros- perity; the big find; with it the quick- ened interest of acquaintances and friends; the discussion of “deals;” the flattering attention of erstwhile in- different people. Followed the actual arrival of mining people with serious intentions and the sight of real money. Mr. Dion points that this stage is the most trying on a prospector. He is anxious to protect his interests and to get an approximation of the value of his find and yet he does not wish to jeopardize his chances of making a for- tune, even a modest one. It is at this time, he intimated, that a prospector most urgently needs the disinterested advice of a real friend. He was for- tunate in having such advisers. It was when he touched on the re- action of prosperity on the prospector that Mr. Dion became really humorous at his own expense. In a few keen sentences he showed that his searching ability was not confirmed to ore-bodies. Few prospectors would be willing to frankly admit that their hats became too small for them under the circum- stances. Leon did it, and with gusto. He described in sweeping plhrases his passage through a term of years when the world seemed to have nothing but a tail, and he had little to do but twist it. That period passed, and with-it the necessity for out-size hats. The engineer audience listened with considerable attention and mixed feel- ings to the disclosure of a prospector's intimate history. The tribute of silent absorption was paid to the story. No doubt the occasion gave the speaker an opportunity to present the prospector's viewpoint on a number of things, and his audience the chance to view at first hand the workings of the human fac- tor in the making of mines. Power Line Route Will Follow the Old Waterway A special despatch last week from Sudbury to The Nugget says:â€" “Not the least important factor in providing employment in this section of Northern Ontario, throughout the coming year. promises to [be the new hydro electric transmission line be- tween the Abitibi Canyon and Sudbury, preliminary work in connection with which is already well advanced under the direction of the Hydro Electric Commission of Ontario. At the pres- ent time some 300 men are empfioyed practically all recruits from Sudbury and neighbouring centres. There will be times during the coming year when the working force will amount to ap- proximately 700 men, and no men are being brought in from outside the dis- trict to fill the ranks. “At the present time the Hydro Elec- tric Power Commission has three camps in operation along the route to be fol- lowed by the right of way, with about 75 men working out of each camp. The camps are located, one about 25 miles out of Sudbury, or/ at Thor Lake, and one half way between Westree and Shining Tree and a fouith a short dis- tance north of old Fort Mattagami. The work is largely confined to clearing the right of way and building roads and bridges preparatory to hauling in materials. Erection of steel towers for the transmission line will be started in a few weeks. “An interesting feature of the route to be followed by the new line, final surveys of which have just been com- peted. show that it will follow the old and well travelled waterway over which for centuries Indians brought their furs to the Hudson Bay trading post at Fort Mattagami. The survey, just complet- ed. strikes the water route southwest of Timmins, close to Wawaitin Falls and follows the Mattagami river al- most due south as far as Lake Ma:- tagami, where it branches ofl in a di- rect line to Copper Cliff. The right- of-way is being cut 130 feet wide in or- der to ensure the line against interrup- tion from falling trees. There will be no permanent road necessary, owing to that fact that for the greater part of the distance, between Timmins and Copper Cliff it follows a clear water route and can be patrolled this way. “‘Accord ng to construction officials, no decision has yet been made whether the {oozings of the old Hollinger line between Hunta' and Timmins will be suitable for use or not. but the matter is being investigated. The contract of the Ontario government with the On- “The total length of the new line will be 240 miles, the longest single stretch of electrical transmission line in the province. Materials entering into its construction, along with the steei towers. are estimated in the neigh- borhood of 7,000 tons. The line will be comu‘eted and ready for use by next October. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO the assistant director of industrial and. technical education for Ontario. Dr. J C. Miller. as issued in 1920. told of theE organization of the classes and the suc- f acess attending them. Special mention} Ewas made of the co-operation of thei tmines, the miners' union. the public [and separate school boards and the: g people in general. The enrolment! ireached 99 for the limited number of a I classes taken up. The average attend-i ‘ance was over 65. Instruction was? g offered in machine drawing, shOp ma-!

The evening vocational classes for! the present term, as advertised else~l where in this issue, are on a much larger 1. scale and much more comprehensive, than those of ten years ago.’but those' ‘ of 1919-1920 no doubt formed the basis 3 upon which was built the greater suc- lcess of these evening classes of suc- ceeding years. I In The Advance of ten years ago 1 there is a front page article giving the interesting information that fully 2000 more men could be used in the mines of the Porcupine at the time. Instead of there being a surplus of workers as at present, there was then a scarity of help and work here was more or less handicapped by the lack of suitable ‘ men for mining work. The mines were [not going at their full capacity and ' other business felt the handicap of the scarcity of men here. The mines here offered good wages and the conditions in the camp were good. There was un- employment in the cities at the time and The Advance suggested that per- haps means might be adopted to use some of the unemployed in the south to cure the trouble hereâ€"not enough men to supply the demands made for the' lvarious works and extensions planned Ihere. The Advance was. against the idea of bringing in any large number of men, fearing that the result would be an eventual surplus of labour. While anxious to see the mines expand and develop, The Advance was very desir- _. _._.._._- ..â€"...__.____..___ __.._._ -â€".â€"_â€" ...._ In this present year of 1930 it should be of interest to note the article pub- lished in The Advance ten years ago relating to the success of the evening vocational classes at 'I‘immins in 1919 and 1920. The first classes of this kind held in Timmins were under the aus- pices of the Timmins public school board. the high school not. having been organized at that time. The report of the assistant director of industrial and technical education for Ontario. Dr. J. C. Miller. as issued in 1920. told of the ous that the call for men to come to this North should not be overdone, as the last thing desired or wished was any noticeable surplus of labour. So far as the growth, development and prosperity of the country were concern- ed, The Advance believed that a short- age of men was more desirable than any overpllus of help, with consequent unemployment possible or other draw- backs. The Advance of Sept. 22nd, 1920, passed on to its readers the suggestion made by the Timmins board of health that the water used in town for domes- tic purposes should all be boiled. It was explained that the water was not bad, but simply as an extra precaution the boiling be carried out to avoid dan- ger. The Advance pointed out that Timmins, unlike most mining towns, had escaped all epidemics, with the ex- ception of the influenza. The healthi- ness of Timmins was largely due to the good work, the skill and the care of the medical health officer and for this reason The Advanse urged that be- cause he recommended boiling the wa- ter this be done conscientiously and cheerfully and as a matter of course. Ten years ago The Advance publish- ed a statement of the finances of the labour day event held here in 1920. Public subscriptions from the mines, merchants, etc., totalled $600.00; pro- ceeds from dance, $224.00; picture show in New Empire theatre. $38.40; re- ceipts from sale of tags, $1674.20; total receipts, $2536.60. The total expenses amounted to $2361.25, leaving a bal- ance of $175.35 to the good. The chief expense was the cost of bringing the aeroplane here. $1,000.00; Timmins Citizens' band was paid $115.00; Cobalt baseball team drew $150.00; Cobalt football team. $125.00; Porcupine foot- ball, $65.00; Timmins baseball team, $55.00; refreshments for dance, $27.00; rent of hall for dance. $35.00; orches- tra for dance, $30.00; prizes for horti- cultural exhibits, $23.50; gatekeepers, $12.00; cups, medals, etc., $118.75; printing and advertising, $143.15; watchman for aerOplane. $18.00; build- ing band stand, $70.88; Timmins Ama- teur Athletic Association, one third of 1727 tickets, $287.50; sundry expenses, $70.47. In commenting on the state- ment at the time The Advance said:â€" “The official statement of the Labour Day event held in Timmins under the auspices of the Tirnmins Football Club shows that such a. day may be unusual- ly pleasing and successful without there “A V. Trimble, chief construction en- gineer, and E. T. Brandon. chief elec- trical engineer of the Hydro Electric Power Commission, were in Sudbury today making a general inspection of the line. William MacKenzie is re- sident engineer in charge of construc- tion." tario Power Service Corporation is for power at Hunta and the Hydro Elecâ€" tric Commission has the construction of the line south of that point. 1 Ten years ago The Advance had a ,frcnt rage article on the idea that the Ideeper mining was carried on in the I Porcupine, the better the ore was found 'to be. Illustration of this truth was I given by reference to work at what was Ithen known as the Northcxown In more recent years the value of mining I at depth has been amply demonstrate-t. lby both the Hollinger and the M0111- I tyie on a s tale that makes the 1920 re- 1 sults look small indeed. being much money in it for the organ- ization that gave it so much time and attention and hard work. How.ever the big aim of the Timmins Football Club was to provide a. thoroughly en- joyable dayâ€"avlittle out of the ordinary â€"and in this their success was pro- nounced enough to leave everybody :atisfied‘.’ Considerable attention and space was given ten years ago in The Advance to a peculiar fire or fires at the rear of Horwitz‘s jewelry store. The fire or fires totk place just after noon. the blaze being first nOted by John Watt. owner of the building and whose bak~ ery was next door. Mr. Horwitz was away to dinner and the front door was securely locked. The fire was in a shed at the back and there seemed no rea- sonable cause for the blaze. When Mr. Horwitz checked up his stock it was found that a number of diamond rings and a valuable diamond bracelet were missing. The beaver board par- tition at the back of the store had been cut out with a knife and then later re-placed. according to the investiga- tion of the police. The theory of the police was that during the noon hour someone had made entry to the store and stolen the rings and necklace and then set fire to the store to hide evi- dence of the crime or to confuse the issue. The police worked on the case for some time but no complete solu- tion was ever presented publicly in the matter. l a l i 4 I A melodramatic hold-up was stagedi ten years ago by masked men at Mc-l Guire 8: Racicot’s poolroom at Con-f naught. The three masked men got‘ away with between $600.00 and $900.00 the features of the case being the melo- . dramatic method used in conformity with the sensational type shown on the screen and in the wild west sort of novel. A friendly game of cards had been in progress at the poolroom. Both the proprietors of the poolroom were away at the time so the robbers had a more or less easy time in pulling off their stunt. Rifht in the middle of l their little card game three men came in through the back door. The three wore masks and all carried ugly-look- ing revolversâ€"all in the approved style of the melodrama. The order was snap- ped out to “put them up” and after‘ only a secondl’s hesitation the occu-i pants of the room decided that it was not necessary to secure the services of a doctor for the occasion to discover the best procedure for their health. One of the robbers poked the young fellow in charge of the :poolroom, the poking being done to the ribs and the “poker" being a revolver. This assured the opening of the till from which the robbers were able to gather about $400. Then the customers were all carefully “frisked.” several hundred dollars more being secured. On leaving with the money the masked men ordered the vic- tims to remain with arms uplifhted for 10 minutes while the (get-away was made There was a tendency to disregard this order, but this tendency was much dis- couraged by the sudden re-entry of one of the men with the guns. After the robbery the police were notified and Officers R. , Allen and S. Blackwall spent considerable time in working on the case to discover the identity of the robbers. A reference in the columns of The Advance ten years ago to the New On- tario Colonization Company, gives the information that Jacksonboro was named after W. R. Jackson, of Buffalo. N.Y., who was the chief mover in the New Ontario Colonization Co. The company made an agreement with the Hearst government to secure two town- ships on the understanding that within two years at least 2400 acres would be prepared for settlement, houses and barns built and at least 16 bona fide settlers be brought in each year for three years. The matter came up be- fore the Riddell-Latchford commission at Toronto ten years ago. The evidence went to show that from 1912 to 1920 only 20 settlers had been settled on the land for any length of time and that only seven of them had remained on the land. Only 250 acres had been cleared and settled. The war had been one of the drawbacks to the plans of the company and had made it prac- tically impossible for the company to carry on its plans. The company had brought out 53 Danish settlers, but they had remained on the land only until they had a chance to get away. Mr. Justice Latchford suggested that it was hardly necessary to go to Denmark for settlers, when the French-Canadians had shown themselves to be such ex- cellent pioneers. Mr. Jackson agreed with this viewpoint, saying that 27 who had paid their money but signed no contracts had been French-Canaâ€" dians. He thought the war, the mili- tary service act. etc., had taken away the probable settlers. Mr. Jackson told the commission that the company had made earnest attempt to carry out its contract. The clearing of the land had been carried on despite the lack of setâ€" tlers. There had been 19.000 cords of pulpwood, 32,000,000 feet of lumber, and 10.000,000 feet of logs cut and sold! The company had not made any money. The annual report of the McIntyre~l Porcupine Mines for the year ending‘ June 30:11, 1920. was reviewed in The Advance ten years ago. Reserves. pro-l fitsend surplus all showed notable gains over the previous year. Reference was! made in the report to the fact. that drilling had indicated the existence or a new vein system paralleling No. 5 vein suggested that this new find was a very promising one. The production of McIntyre for the year was 188,835 tons of an average grade of $11.52. Among the local and personal notes in. The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"-“Matheson Lodge, I.0.0.F.. paid a fraternal visit to South Por- cupine lodge on Monday evening. There were about 18 or 20 of the bre- thren from Matheson, with possibly an equal number of the members of Tim- mins Lodge. Degree work was put on and after the regular procedure of the lodge a very pleasant social time was enjoyed by all, the South Porcupine brethren, living up to their usual re- putation as the best of good hosts.” “JCS.

HOWEY MINES RECOVERS OVER $63,000 IN GOLD IN AUGUST In the month of August Howey Gold Mines Limited milled 16,500 tons, for a recovery of $63,000. This gives the mill a daily capacity of 550 tons. or some- what better than the technical rating. The ore grade is around $4 to the ton. including the tailings. While the recovery is approximately the same as that for the preceding month it is understood that the pur- pose of the management is being ful- filled, in that milling provides a thor- ough test of the lower level workings. Barrie Examinerzâ€"Efl‘orts to make Stayner a beautiful town have received a set back during the past few months. Circus bills have adorned a board fence which borders on the main street. and now young boys have added to the ”atâ€" traction” by tearing and mutilating the posters. The Stayner Sun suggests in an article condemning the “circus bill- board," that even an Indian village on the North Shore would feel outraged with such a main street. “There is little encouragement for any organâ€" ization to make the town beauutiful when property owners allow this kind of thing to go on," said the paper. Perhaps it would be wise to have fence- removed and place a miniature golf course on the lot. LIMITED
