In the meantime, howâ€" ever, the body is being held at Cochâ€" rane until toâ€"day when it is to be viewâ€" ed by the coroner in connection with the inquest which is being held. A despatch on Tuesday of this week from Cochrane says that James Retty, aged 36 years, died at Abitibi Canyon from injuries received on Monday. He was a brakeman at the Abitibi Canyon and was coupling cars when in some manner or another his head got jammâ€" ed between two blocks, hisâ€" skull was fractured. â€"A cousin of Retty‘s Frank Sweeney, is said to have been an eye witness of the tragedy. Retty‘s hom»e was at Sheenboro, Quebec, and it is likely that the body will be sent there good and bring the Government milâ€" lions of dollars, for it sure is the richâ€" est mineral land in Canada, and if Canada ever gets first place for gold production it will be the country east. west and south of Porcupine that will put her there. Not only that but if silver takes a big jump some day Gowâ€" ganda eastward to Cobalt will be the main place. Let us start 1931 with the determination to make Northern Onâ€" tario a greater place. Where is the man who can dispute the above? Let us hear from him, if there be such a one. Dr. McInnis has the right idea, according to what I read in l@st week‘s Advance. We need a few men like him here." f Another Man Fatally Hurt at Abitibi Canvyon "How far north of Porcupine, does one have to go to see great mines and minerals of which he will find much? Then, how far east, west and all to the south dces one have to go to find them? Not very far! Right through the gold belt into the silver, thence directly into the world‘s greatest nickel belt. It is a shame to keep this counâ€" try to the south of Timmins closed up when a good road would do so much "Mr. Morrisette flew in the plane to the Ashleyâ€"Garvey find and returning drove by team to Elk Lake and thence was driven by car to Hai ybury, Mr. Dolaf being the driver. "Last week Mr. Dolan took a truckâ€" load of supplies with a trailer also beâ€" hind to Matachewan and returned alone in a snow storm, fighting his way to Elk Lake. "The snow mobiles are now running to Matachewan. If Timmins had them running south there would no doubt be more work going on at, Matachewan. Get busy, Timmins, and meet us halfâ€" way and make a road you will forever be proud of and where mines will still be found in the year 2031. â€"‘‘Matachewan can easily become big gold camp without doing damage but th> main thing is to see that the beautiful Montreal River is not allowed to be polluted with sewerage and cther rubbish because this water is used by a tourists during summer, and once tourâ€" ists know that water in a stream is not fit to use they simply keep away from those parts altogether. â€" Now is the time to be ready and see that the great river is kept clean. "A house owned by D. McKenzie and occupied by Mr. Murray was burned last week and Mr. Murray incurred serious burns about the head and as a result is laid up. The good work of the firemen saved the building from a total loss. + Think of the years wasted far off lockâ€" ing for great gold mines and not a single big one found. This winter sees dozens of the oldâ€"timers returning to this treasure land and the majority of them say ‘"that they might have been better off if they had remained hers where all the greatest mines are and where Cobalt was found and the disâ€" coveries of gold and silver and nickel and other minerals have continued ever since. when the T. N. O. railway was being built. There is nothing that would be of such benefit to this North than to connect the world‘s nickel with the silver and gold belts for there are sure to be many a great mine between them. Think of the years wasted far off lockâ€" Lake know very well that the north part of it from ithe Porcupine camp southward would be much easier to put in A 1 shape than some people think. Anyone has only to go up to the Viâ€" pond Mine tower on clear day and he can see right to the new Matachewan gold find and several miles farther than it. One glance at the country south will show him how easy it would be to put the read now already near there in firstâ€"class shape. Even if there had not been this new fird the road should be firstâ€"class right on to Elk Lake and further to Sudbury. It sure would make us oldâ€"timers feel like old days "Just imagine heavy auto truck loaded with supplies leaving Elk Lake for Matachewan on the last day of the year and making the trip in 24 hours going up and about four hours returnâ€" ing. In the return trip it was snowing and drifting. This truck was driven by Frank Dolan. Surely, if such a trip can be made on this road it will be an easy matter to connect Timmins with Matachewan and Elk Lake.

Mr THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO M The epidemic of septic sore throat has apparently been completely checkâ€" ed at Kirkland Lake, thanks to the prompt and effective action of the health authorities. Reports from Kirkâ€" land Lake suggest that there are few new cases developed in the last week or two, but those having severe cases of the malady are not recovering as rapidâ€" ly as would be the case in many more serious ailments. Several who were among the early patients are still feelâ€" ing the effects of the illness, though large numbers who had the dissease, though in lighter form, are all better and back to their usual business and affairs. The death of Mrs. Edward Shaheen at Toronto last week is said to have followed an attack of the septic sore throat epidemict at Kirkland Lake. T‘wo other. deaths are reported this week Lake child sFFECTS OF SEPTIC SORE THROAT AT KIRKLAND LAKEP Falls goalie also had a busy time, but he seemed to have better support, though no one would find any fault with the work of either goalie Jago and Laflamme and Spence and Krupka saw .that Powers was kept busy, while Bennett and Welsh and Wimperis, Penâ€" der and Smith continued their attacks on the Timmins goal. There were a number of nice saves on both sides, with some "flukes" on both sides. After a while, however, Bennett scored his third goal for the Falls, thus making it particularly Bennett‘s win, there being no more scoring for the evening and the final count being 3 to 1 for Iroâ€" quois Falls. In the last period, the play by Timâ€" mins was a little ragged, though the boys stood the grind well and were goâ€" ing strong all through. Iroquois Falls in two and three man conbinations was dangerous all the time, and especially when Timmins had a man or two in the penalty box. In the last period the Falls took the aggressive. There were rushes by Smith, Wimperis and Porâ€" ter that looked always dangerous. Pender also joined in the rushes and combination and did not make it look any better for Timmins when he did. Hudnut met the situation with skill and coolness and won praise for his good work. Spence and Auger did their best to carry the battle to the enemy‘s lines, Auger playing particularly well. The (Continued from Page One) period there was one that was too much for him, Bennett sending in a hard one, and putting the Falls one up. BIG GROWD AT RINK FOR QPENING N.0.8.A.
