SOCIAL EVENT, BIARCH 5TH, BY CORNISH SOCIAL CLUB SPECIAL School 29c recent games Pts ...11 Thought First of the Safety of Train 47 The land is deserted; the few re- maining settlers have to suppm all the weight. of the school tam. We want to find the cause of that desertion and apply immediately the remedy. There will be no question of nationali- ty, nor religion, nor political party in our association and we expect to get the support of our member or parlia- ment. We want to work for the good of all and not View the movement from a personal and selfish standpoint. and I am sure that the settlers will find that when we have served unselfishly in this movement we have even served our own selfish ends the best. T. . N. O. Brakeman Has Legs Badly Crushed in Accident. but Thinks First of Safety of Approaching Pazsenger Train. Samuel Smith. a brakeman on thci T. a: N. 0. Railway was so badly injur- 1 ed on Saturday of last week in an ac-l cident at the railway yards at Cobalt that amputation of the lower part ofl both his legs was necessary later in the} day, yet his first thought as he lay crushed under the wheels of a moving freight car was not for himself though he must have suffered severely, but for the safety of an approaching passenger train. “Never mind me, boys. for a minute or two," he ls reported as say- ing, “but look out for No. 47, for the switch is set wrong." Smith had fallen under the wheels of a freight and it was apparent that he was badly hurt. He. was rushed to the Mines hospital at Cobalt. where an operation was per- formed later in the day by Dr. G. E. Case. Dr. G. A. Schmidt and Dr. W. C. Arnold. In the past, perhaps, we have been too individualistic. We have tried to paddle our own canoe as long as we have thought we can do so to our own advantage. But the depressed condi- tion of the settlers in this part of the North has taught everyone to seek a remedy in union. To the Editor of The Advance. Tlmmms. Dear Simâ€"Last week a meeting was held at McIntosh Springs by the set- tlers of Dundonald township at which they adhered to the South Cochrane Settlers’ Association and formed a lo- cal. Any reader of The Advance knows the struggle that settlers in this part of the North Land are having to get along and , establish themselves, and anything that promises assistance along this line will be gladly welcomed. Last week the settlers in the McIn- tcsh Springs district met and formed a local branch of the South Cochrane Settlers’ Association. This is the first local branch to be formed in South ochrane. though North Cochrane has a large number of branches of the Nor- them Ontario Settlers’ Association. The letter given below gives details of the purpose of the organization at Mc- Intosh Springs and there should be every possible support given the as- sociation in the work undertaken. McIntosh Springs local can certamly depend on The Advance doing anything and everything practical to assist it in its good work for the settlers. The Ad- vance believes that it can also rely on the goodwill and co-operation of the member of this riding, A. F. Kenning.' M.P.P. Any thinking person can see the difficulties encountered by the set- tlers, and all good citizens should be willing to assist in any way to make the work and life of the settl/ss less difficult. This is all in the interests of the North as a whole. It would be a good thing if other sections of this part of the North would follow the lead of the settlers around McIntsh Springs and organize to help themselves. The letter referrel to explains itself and reads as follows:â€" Smith did not lose consciousness, though he suflered intensely. His wife and two membersof his family. with a brother, came down from Englehart on the anal-noon twain. Mrs. Smith is convalescing after an operation. After being hurt. Smith's thought was for the protection of the north- bound passenger train, due shortly af- ter the accident. To fellow members of the train crew. he said, “Watch for 47; the switch is set wrong." Smith, whose home is in Englehart, was engaged in switching cars when the accident happened. His condition is reported fair. At the time of the accident, about 9.50 Saturday morning, Smith was rid- ing a. freight car along the passing track. While his train was switching in the yard. Apparently he had been leaning out too far and came in contact, with the corner of a hopper car, the impact throwing him under the moving car. Medical help and the ambulance were summoned. and Smith was taken to the Mines hospital. where Dr. G. E. Case and Dr. G. A. Schmidt rendered assistance. Before the injured man had been moved, H. E. Blackwall, bai- liff, of Haileybury, had improvised a tourniquet with a. spare shoelace he carried, and was able to prevent ex- cessive bleeding from one of the crush- ed limbs. Settlers Organize at McIntosh Springs First Local Branch of South Cochrane Settlers Association Formed Last Week. Settlers Organize for Mutual Help and Advant- age. Knowing for a long time the kind McIntosh Springs, Ont, Toronto Mail and Empireâ€"Though we did noc support Mayor Stewart in his campaign we are free to admit that he gives every promise of being a good mayor. His remarks have been sen- sible. and he evidently has a full un- derstanding of the duties and dignities of his omce. open to them. the start of which can be made on a small scale. There is bee-keeping. for example. The North has fine crops of nectar for bees. and it is easy to start in with a few colonies of honey gatherers. There is dairying, about which nothing need be said here: the settler may decide for himself whether he should not go in for milk and beef production. Raising hogs is quite profitable. and is also one way to supply the home table with food. As for vegetable growing, there is a first- rate market in the Northern towns for well-grown vegetables brought in fresh from the farm, and the good housewife can in this manner earn many an odd dollar with which to do her periodical town shopping. Amid all these cal- culations, flowers to beautify the home inside and out must not be neglected. At the very least, a few packets of an- nuals ought to be bought and planted to make the place cheerful. Now is the time to figure such things out. so that a clear idea is in mind when the spring rush of work comes along to claim at- tention. The work that is planned is always easier done and invites success. There has been some response to our suggestion last week that settlers should go in for more poultry-raising, making their start by building a. standard log house reconnnended by the Experi- mental Farm authorities, _ plans of which are furnished free. It is slow work disseminating ideas of. this kind among settlers scattered far and wide throughout the North. The real thing that is wanted is a determination by the settlers that this year they will make a strong effort to raise either crops or stock or both, on a larger scale than before, and thus get them- selves in the way of making an inde- pcndent'living on their own farms. Those who are not attracted-to the idea of raising poultry in numbers can give thought to the many other possibilities interest you have for the settlers of the North. we are sure to get a. good helper in ycur paper. Seutl cha The latest rush is into the Rouyn camp. Recent discoveries reported at the Berrigan-McWatters claims have resulted in a regular rush of prospec- tors and no less than 350 claims have been recorded at the Noranda mining recorder‘s office in the last few weeks according to the account given. The rush has caused a considerable revival of interest in the Rouyn area and there is a chance that the new rush may rival the Matachewan one in interest. A despatch this week from Rouyn, Que- bec, sayszâ€"“A staking rush, reminis-‘ cent of the early boom days of the camp, is in progress in the townships of Rouyn and Joannes, following upon the discovery of a. large system of quartz veins carrying high gold values, on the Berrigan-McWatters group of claims, in Rouyn township. “A considerable amount of work has carried out on this property during the winter, but little ms said about the discovery until some two weeks ago, when, following upon a. report of the property by A. G. Morrison, M.E., it became known that the system of veins had been opened up for a. length of approximately 500 feet. interconnected veins and veinlets showing over the great width of 250 feet in places. “Since the news of the discovery has become known, 350 claims have been recorded at the Noranda. ofiice and many parties are still in the bush. “Questioned regarding plans for fur- ther development of the property, Dave McWatters. one of the owners, stated that although ofi‘ers had been. made, none had as yet been accepted. “Meanwhile, systematic sampling continues and a crew is engaged in taking in supplries for the continuation of work. An engineer representing Consolidated Smelters is having Ito make an examination of the property tomorrow."

This coin is a gold one dated 1790 and evidently. not only old but much worn in the 141 years it has been in existence. There is a hole in the top of the coin and it has evidently been used for years as a watch fob or in some similar way on a chain. The coin has no value or denomination stamped on it but would appear to have been the equivalent of a $10.00 gold piece in value to judge from its size. The hole cut through it has given rise to an odd change in the designation of the monarch under whom it was issu- ed. According to the coin as it appears now it bears the inscription of George II. The date, howover. shows that it could not be of the reign of that mon- arch. George II died in 1760 and so it is not likely that this coin, dated 1790. was issued 30 years after his death. It is apparent that the lettering “George II" was originally “George III," and that the hole through the coin cut away the final "I" from the "George 111" thus leaving “George II." as the coin reads to-day. A rare and old coin of more than passing interest was shown The Ad- vance this week by J. Russell who has had it for a number of years and who received it from his father who in turn had been in possession of the coin for ANOTHER INTERESTING COIN IS HELD IN These men ordinarily worked at pulpwood but with no market this year they have been in town all the time. If no more funds are available from Toronto. little hope i; held out for fu- ture work. The municipality undertook an extensive programme for the gra- vell'lng of all the streets and having completed these, hoped to finish with improving the lanes and make a large fill in a. deep gully in order to keep go- ing for a few weeks longer. What these 30 workers and their families will do is going to be a. big problem unless something turns up in the meantime. (From The Northla’nd Post) Last year Mayor Mitchell obtained a grant. of five thousand dollars for emergency relief to which the town was to add an additional large sum. in the hopes that suflicient work would be provided to support 'all the local unem- ployed. Many more men applied than were expected and the work did not last as long as was hoped for. In or- der to keep these local families fnom starving or becoming a charge on the town. Mayor Mitcheel applied to the Government for more money ‘but was not definitely promised any additional help. The municipality has already Spent more than five hundred dollars more than the local budget calls for and lack of outside help will mean that all the public works will cease. Mayor Mitchell said in an interview this morning that "We will keep the men on till tomorrow but after that we can do no more without the assistance of the Government. We have been working the me: in two mtions. three days a. week each, in orde.‘ +3 pzoicng the job. and even then we had so many that the job would not last as long as we had hoped."
