Raney was prominent for many years in the political life of Onâ€" tario. HMHe was chiefly known in conâ€" necticn with his efforts at enforcement of the unpopular Ontario Temperance Act. He achieved a considerable measâ€" ure of unpopularity in that connection, but after his appointment to the bench he won the highest general regard by his fairness and dignity as a judge. Hon. Mr. Raney was probably the ablest man in the U.F.O. Government of Onâ€" tario some years ago and probably for that reason drew upon himself more than his share of disfavour. It 4s pleasing to note that his years on the bench have brought him a large measâ€" ure of public regard and confidence. are beir building custom. the sub: Btokes "pro" at the Club. narrowly escape which broke out in t golf course early Mor this week when flam building and its conte: was asleep when fire . oneâ€"storey building wt erected by her husbhan had a nar blaze. and distr JUSTICE W.

It is impossible to shake off the idea that there was much more of a story connected with this item than the unsat.sfactory little paraâ€" graph in The Quill indicates. Possibly some oldâ€"timer will recall this case. Assault on the Lake According to The Quill, there was a case of assault on Porcupinge Lake in May, 1910. The Quill said:â€""On Tuesâ€" day evening before Magistrates Dunbar and Bruce, B. B. Hoyt was charged with assaulting A. H. Vineberg and Charles Another reference to mining mattors is an item stating that the Lapointe claims, situated south of the Timmins property in Tisdale, had been sold to a Montreal syndicate. Free gold, said The Porcupine Quill, was largely in evidence on the properties and immediâ€" ate development work was to be comâ€" menced. There was only one other item in regard to mining. It read as follows:â€"The Cragge Mine.â€"This is a veteran lot, formerly known as the Kirkwood, and is immediately south of and adjoining Pearl Lake, and also adjoins the Timmins property. The property is controlled by a syndicate from Columbus, Ohio, and is in charge of Mr. Shirley Cragge. A camp has been constructed and active developâ€" ment work is going on. A shaft is beâ€" ing sunk and gold is being found in rich quantities. a further quantity bagged. It is no exaggeration to value the present ore dump at somewhere around half a milâ€" lion dollars. There are quite a collecâ€" tion of mining men at the mine at the present time. Messrs Noah and Henry Timmins, Duncan McMartin, Jack Mcâ€" Martin, and FProfessors Miller and Haultain are daily expected. The Timâ€" mins Bros. are pushing forward the Mattagami route and the first party from Bisco are daily expected.. They have had a route cut from Pearl Lake to Miller Lake and thence on to the Mattagami. However, finally, we would like to do a little in the prophetic line. The Hollinger is good, even good enough but the bonanza of the camp is going to be the Millerâ€"Middleton property which is also owned by the Timmins Broâ€" thers." Discoveries in the Camp "Day by day," says another item in The Porcupine Quill, "discoveries are made in this camp that support the optimistic prophecies made in January about our camp. The latest is the Vipond property who have struck a rich pay streak on their property in South Tisdale. The properties, ten in numâ€" ber, have been taken over by the Porâ€" cupine Mines Co., which is principally backed by Washington and New York gentlemen. Wm. Davidson and M. Flynn will have charge of the developâ€" ment work and a large force of men are already on the ground." Tribute to Timmins Bros. "To the man in this camp it must be a source of gratification to hold up a weapon as strong as the Timmins Mine to silence all classes of knockers, pessiâ€" mists, seeptics, and those with preâ€" judiced m#énds, and in passing it is well to recognize that this camp owes a debt of gratitude to the Timmins Brothers who were among the first to recognize the possibilities of Porcupine and to take a chance with their capital. That they are making good is their just reâ€" ward. Their perseverance reminds one of Messrs Hayes and Monette, of Goldâ€" field, Nevada. The Timmins holdings in this section comprise some 1600 acres cr about forty claims, principally situâ€" ated around Pearl Lake. Of course, the star of the bunch is the claim owned by Ben Hollinger, which was sold by him to the Timmins Bros., for a price that gives one visions of PFifth avenue, New York. This claim is at present being very actively worked and conâ€" siderable progress has beer. The principal machinery consists of two boilers, steam dGdrills and an electric lighting system. Three eightâ€"hour shifts are at work. The main shaft has been sunk near to the famous dome and is now seventy feet down. Firstâ€" class samples of free gold have been taken out at this level. Two other shafts are each down fifty feet. As Is known the mine has already made a sample shipment of ore and they have Col. A. W. Gray, Grand Master of the Oddfellows, Ontario, who paid his offiâ€" cial visit to the Porcupine camp this week, was in the Poreupine before in the very early days. He followed his profession as surveyor in this country more than twenty years ago, and he has some interesting souvenirs of his life here. One of these is a copy of an issue of The Porcupine Quill, the camp‘s first newspaper. The issue that he has is No. 20 of Volume 1. It was mimeoâ€" graphed from typewritten sheets. The sheets were regular letterhead size, 84 x 11. There were only three sheets, printed on one side, but some of the contents of the issue are of notable interest at this time. Indeed, to many cldâ€"timers in the camp, there are few lines that will not be of interest. The Porcupine Quill Even the heading has particular inâ€" terest now:â€""The Quill. Vol 1, No. 20. Porcupine, May 21st, 1910. Published on the afternoon of each Wednesday and Saturday; office opposite Recordâ€" er‘s office, Porcupine. Charles E. Gradâ€" well, B.A., managing editer and proâ€" prietor." The editorial in No. 20 of The Porcuâ€" pine Quill was headed, "A Few Pacts Abcut the T:mmins Mine," and read as follows :â€"â€" One of the Issues of the First | . Newspaper of the Porcupine < Was Typewritten Budget of News and Views. â€" It was Called The Porcupine Quill. Later was Printed at Haileybury. Col. A. W. Gray, Grand Master of the Oddfellows, Ontario, has Interesting Little Newspaper of Early Days. Full Contents Given Herewith., TAE PORCUPINE AUDVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARTO Item Without Any Head In the whole issue there was only on» ‘tem without a heading. This read as follows:â€""As an example of the disâ€" torted reports that filter through from Porcupine to the outside world we pubâ€" lish the following from The Cobalt Nugâ€" get without commentâ€"While Buildâ€" ing Burns Claims are Sold. While G:bson and Sterling, general merchants at Porcupine, were receiving a subâ€" stantial cash payment for claims here their and goods were being consumed by flames in Porcupine in the New Magistrate Takes Oath The Porcupine camp has from its inception been remarkably lawâ€"abiding and orderly. In this respect it is probâ€" ably worth of very special notice among mining camps. Cobalt was all right, but in regard to careful observance of law and order Porcupine leads them all. To have law and order it was necessary, of course, to have officers of the law in the camp. In the "Answers to Corresâ€" pondents," mention was made of the fact that the provincial police conâ€" stable stationed at Porcupine in May, 1910, was Charles Plercy, previously of the North West Mounted Police. In regard to a magistrate The Forcupine Quill under the heading, "New Magisâ€" trate Takes Oath," says:â€""Mr. George Dunbar took the oath on Wednesday evening last before Recorder Bruce and conducted his first case the same evenâ€" ing. We wish Mr. Dunbar every sucâ€" cess in his new s»here." Looking for Oscar Carroll There were no advertissments in The Quill at the time but there was the following notice, or whatever it may be called, in the issue under review:â€""If this should meet the eyve of Oscar A. Carroll, he is requested to communicate with The Quill when he will hear of something to his advantage." This is anâ€" other of those items that arouse curiâ€" osity without satisfying it. It seems even more unsatisfactory after 23 years than when first published. _ Maybe, those in the camp knew at the time what the gentleman was desired for. In any case, it is hoped at this date that he was found and the "something to his advantage" was a fortune left to him. "easy‘" was the right one, but the oldâ€" timers evidently thought it was. Death at South End The Quill had the following reference to a death, the only one mentioned in the issue:â€""A Frenchman by the name of Mineault, who came fnto camp several weeks ago and has been sick since his arrival, died on Sunday last of fever. He was buried at the Point butting into Porcupine Lake on Wedâ€" nesday last. The service was conductâ€" ed by Mr. J. F. Morris and Rev. A. P. Menzies." Tried to Keep Out the Chinamen Another item that in itself does not tell as much of a story as there was behind it is one headed:â€""Result of the Chinese Case." This item read:â€" "With reference to the arrest of Charlie Chung and one Crawford by Officer Lefebvre some weeks ago the case was tried first at Englehart and then adâ€" JjJourned to Sudbury. When brought forward at Sudbury a few days ago the case was dismissed." An oldâ€"timer of the Porcupine this week reminded The Advance of the inwardness of this :tem. It seems that those pioneering the Porcupine decided that this camp would be different to other mining camps in several ways. One of these ways was that there should be no Chinese here in business. Despite discouragements thrown out, however, a Chinaman did reach the camp and was all ready to start business. He was arrested, howâ€" ever, and taken first to Englehart and than to Sudbury for trial. When his trial was concluded and he was freed, he did not feel in position to spend the money and the time to get back to Porâ€" cupine.. This suited the oldâ€"timers who wanted to keep out the Chinese. But in the end it did no good, for Chinaâ€" men fiocked to the camp later and after a whileâ€"had practically a monoâ€" of the Porcupine. poly of the restaurant and laundry businegsses, though lateér this situation was somewhat changed. About Transport Facilities The matter of the transp’grtation facilities for the Porcupine camp was mentioned in several items in The Quill. Onse of these items said:â€""The means of transport between Porcupine and the steei have been much faciliâ€" tated by the installation of a motor launch service by a Mr. W. N. Burns. Passengers will be able to leave Porâ€" cupine in the morning, walking to Hills, where the launch W.N.B. will start daily at noon making the trip to the steel in one day. The fare from Hills w.ll be $2.00 for some sixteen miles of water route." Another item dealt with local transport, and said:â€""Locals will now no longer be dependent upon the disgraceful ferry service to get from Golden City to the Development Co.‘s townsite and vice versa. The lake has subsided and there is an excellent trali between the two places, and a bridge has been laid across the Porcupine river." The third item is from "Anâ€" swers to Correspondents", and is in reply to a query from D. V., Elk Lake. "The best way to get in here," says the reply, "is to get off the train at 222, walk the seven miles over the Governâ€" ment road, now near completion, take the motor launch W.N.B. to Hills, and from Hills walk in to Porcupine, some seven miles, The trip across the Freâ€" derickhouse to Hills will cost you $2.00. By this means it is easy to make the trip either way in one day."

He met death in a fall down the shaft. An inâ€" quest was held as is the case in all mining accidents that terminate fatally and a verdict of accidental death was returned by the coroner‘s jury. The body was taken to Sioux Lookout for interment. Word from Fort Arthur is to the effect that provincial police headquarâ€" ters there had been informed of the "Porcupik.â€"â€"We understand that secâ€" ond and third class matter will be brought in by the mails after this week, so you will soon get that Old Country newspaper you are expecting. We cannot state for certain when the three deliveries per week will commence but we hope it will be soon." In view of the fact that all the contents of this issue of The Quill can be printed in less than two columns of The Advance, it may be noted that the newspaper of the Porcupine has grown in proportion to the growth of the camp,â€"perhaps a little more so. The Quill expanded as time went on and was later printed, the printing be‘ing done at first at Haileybury by George Lake, who conducted a printing office in that older town. Later still the place of The Quill was taken by The Advance, which has remained for more than nineteen years THE newspaper WORKER AT THE HOWEY MINE KILLED IN FALL DOWN SHAFT "D. «W. C., Montreal.â€"There are numerous hotels in this camp, the prinâ€" cipal being King Edward hotel, City hotel, Strathcona hotel, Gold Central hotel, all of which are situated on the Recording office side of the lake, and the Hotel Shuniah and Simms situated on the Development Co.‘s townsite." "J. P., Cobalt.â€"There is no recognizâ€" ed board of trade in this camp. The nucleus of one was formed but on acâ€" count of there not being sufficient of a population it was found impossible to incorporate. However, the organizaâ€" tion still exists under the title of a Citizens‘ Committee, of which W. 0. E. Gradwell is the secretary." Golden City Fire." Answers to Correspondents The Quill devoted a full page to "Answers to Correspondents," and there is much interesting information on this page. Here are the items not menâ€" tioned elsewhere in this article:â€" "A. H. B.
