An order was said to be given for the deâ€" livery of equipment at Indian Chutes on the Montreal river. The proposiâ€" tion, however, was apparently dropped. Homer W.

The production of the Hollinger for the pericd ending April 22nd, 1922, was 107,841 tons according to the official figures. This meant an average daily tonnage of over 3851 for each of the 28 days in the pericd. This was mainâ€" taining the fine record made after the power difficulties of the previous year were overcoms. The April record for the yvear was about 50 per cent. inâ€" ed veys by the Government are of great assistance to prospectors and mining men in geéneral. Porcupine camp was partly reviewed some years ago, but many sections were not included in this survey. Some years ago Mr. Burrows mapped out the Porcupine area." Ten years ago Timmins was prepa: ing at this time of year for a Lusy bast ball season. The Advance noted in its issue of May 3rd, 1922, that over forty new autos had been brought into the camp and that most of them were in active use. The total number of autos in the camp at that time was estimated at 200 to 300, which is only a fraction of the number in use these days. Ten years ago Messrs Crotin and Goldstein brought out Feldman Bros.‘ grocery at the comer of Balsam street and Third avenue, calling their store the Timmins Grocery and Meat Store. Early closing went into effect in Timâ€" mins ten years ago, the early closing day that year being changed to Thursâ€" day, instead of Wednesday as in preâ€" vious years. The change was made on account of Hollinger pay day. Ten years ago the Caledonian Socieâ€" ty of Timmins was going strong and was proving of great interest and value to large numbers in town. The Scots were not so clannish that they did not welcome all their friends irrespective of nationality. Ten years ago The Adâ€" vance gave the following report of one of the meetings of the society:â€""The Musical Evening of the Caledonian Soâ€" ciety of Timmins on Friday evening last proved a very delightful success. The programme under the very effective charge of Mr. W. Coupar, proved one of cutstanding merit and interest. It inâ€" cluded solos by Mrs. McCullough, Miss Jean Roberts, Mr. Jas. Twaddle, Mr. Jas. Geils and Mr. Arthur Black,â€"all of special excellence and greally apâ€" preciated. The instrumental music inâ€" cluded:â€"piano selections by Miss Niven, Mr. Bell, Mr. F.

M. J. Cavaney, of Sandy Falls who had given long and effective study to wireless, often had helpful articles in The Advance those days in regard to matters affectâ€" ! ing what is now known as "radio." Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""The question of the hour is:â€"When is the T. O. N.

"Jack Hogan, well known in the camp as a barber, has bought John Krancoâ€" vich‘s place next to the McIntyre Reâ€" creation hall at Schumacher, and has opened there an upâ€"toâ€"date barber shop, poolroom and cigar store." "In an adâ€" dress to the Legislature last week Mac Lang, M.P.P., prophesied an early deâ€" feat of the Farmers‘ Government and the return of the Liberal party to power sure. Even the Tories won‘t feel too badly about that, though, of course, they have hopes, too."
