This time his scene of action is Birch Lake, near Casey Summit Gold Mines. on the prOperty owned by McIntyre Porcupine. “Bill" has a royalty ar- rangement and has set up a Tremaine which he runs with steam power. The crew consists of six men and a boy and not only do they conduct mining and milling operations but run a saw mill as well. The blacksmith runs the com- pressor. the engineer runs the hoist. the mill and the sawing machine. “Bill" himself just sort of fills in at any old job,and the boy carries water. The saw millis quite an arrangement. It consists of a Ford engine and a woodcutting machine. which Cooper ingenuity has harnessed to a rip saw. The sawyer (save the mark) tools the log alongwith a cranking arrangement. forcing 'it up against the saw. They do say that they get 4,000 feet a day out of this contraption and lumber is worth real money back 130 miles from the track." Hanover Post.â€"-Well, at. any rate, the name ‘Mitch' is as dignified as was that of ‘Fergje.’ “Gladltz reported to Boone that he had located the whole track of the es- cort which carried the treasure and to have found about 680 points where the carts. sumpter horses and escort lay buried. He said that he had discover- ed that the whole treasure train was nearly ten miles long. When it came to exact details he was no piker, either. The little cork and needle could tell things very exactly. Gladitz claimed that the number of men 'buried was between 800 and many thousands and Ithat the foot soldiers lay :n ranks of ten one pace apart. The mounted men were 50 yards apart. In the rear of the column he had located 24 carts but in the middle of the column he had cited a big. heavy cart which prov- ed, after scientific analysis. to be full of gold. together with a little silver and was twice as heavy as any other cart in the column. Latest News About First Superintendent of Hollinger “The upshot of this hocus-pocus was that the reputable engineer and his British associates withdrew from the scheme altogether and Mr. Boone was left fiat." Writing in The Northern Miner last week in his column of “Grab Samples" W. J. Gorman says:â€" “The 24‘ carts ir‘r the rear of the column were supposed to contain shrines. crosses, cups, etc.. looted from the mona'S'te'ri'es and in the van was a number of horsemen with saddlebags containing ready cash to pay the army in order to prosecute the war with the barons. When dip- needling gets down that fine there is little more to be said. “According to Gladitz he strongly suspected that this cart. contained the king’s personal regalia, which he pro- posed to hand over to the present king of England. He had located the officer in charge of the escort now lying 50 yards ahead of the regalia. That’s picking ’em. accurately locate buried treasure of this sort. Gladitz was evidently a firm believer in the powers of his instru- ment, which consisted largely of a needle through a cork. the neighbfihrhood of the supposed dis- aster. But Mr. Boone became impa- tient and after a year or so fell under the influence of a gentleman named Galditz, who convinced the American that he had an instrument which could branch. Here‘s hoping also that those returned men who have had an oppor- tunity to join the Legion, so that they can be among their old comrades will not again let the opportunity slip by. Without Begging Can the Legion. get something for itself. without begging? If this is in reference to the Timmins branch. the answer is. "yes!” The branch has taken over small premises for a club room (until such time as its perma- nent new home is erected), equipped same in an upâ€"to-date manner. placing two men in steady work to operate lsame. and all this without asking or begging for a nickel. That is only one point. There is much more it has done which records prove. Since its incep- ti'on eight years ago the branch in We has never approached the town council for any financial favours. blems cannot be solved by simply join- ing any kind of organization. Con- sideration must be given as to what that organization is endeavouring to do. What the Legion is trying to‘ do is not to enlist the support of the un- employed and disabled veerans, who. in so many cases. cannot even support themselves. It aim is. to secure the membership of every ex-Service man who has established himself, 'to secure his support for an organisation which is able to provide adequate assistance for those who cannot help themselves. The fees collected from such members provide the means to do this work. "It is on this question of - service to the unemployed and disabled war vet- eran that the Legion is outstanding. The Legion headquarters staff is fully and adequately informed as to all the disabilities suffered by exâ€"Se'rvice men and women, and on all the problems they are likely to meet. These pro- day in and day out gives valuable and effective service to all returned men desiring it, is quite another matter. anyonelto join some organization. par- ticularly. where no fees are collected. But; tovoperate an organization which. “In order to fully appreciate the posiâ€" tion which the Canadian Legion oc- cupies as a representative body of ex- Service‘ men and women. working in the interests of the entire veteran body in Canada and wherever Canadian ex- sailqrs_,and Soldiers are to be found. it is necessary to understand the basic principles, on which the Legion is oper- ated. It is quite an easy thing for That’s the expression one often hears in reference to the Canadian Legion. In times past when their fea~ ture of The Advance was in its prime and working for a membership for the local branch much was said on this subject. The question was often raised “What does the Legion stand for?" When told it was “to help those ihe Canadian Leglorl is given herewith. ‘1: L9 very timely for the Timmins branch and should be. read very care- fully by all interested. The clipping is from The Legionary and is as fol- lows:â€" who could not help themselves." the answer invariably was “Well. that's unique!" To prove the above statement is true in every sense one has only to peruse the Service Bureau statistics as presented to the Dominion Govern- ment in the spring of this year. These- figures show that over 65 per cent of the cases dealt with were for veterans. not members of the Canadian Legion. Again it was said:â€"-“It certainly is unique for an organization to assist those who are in no way connected with it." but the answer given by Legion officials was:-â€"-“It is the spirit of com- rade-ship. of the overseas days." Friend or foe, if in need during those days always got a helping hand. Illustra- tion of this point can be seen by glancing at the official war photos available in many varied forms at the present time.

CORN STARE" Calgary to Welcome Mining Men from All Over (‘anada Men identified with the mineral in- dustry in all parts of Canada will trek to the West this fall. and converge up- on Calgary. The Canadian Institute of Mining will be guests of the Western branches in the annual Western meeting held with the Paliser Hotel as headquarters on September 13th, 14th and 15th. Summer excursion rates and arrange- ments whereby the traveller may go by one railway system and return by the other if he so desires, will tempt many mining men to combine a trip to the hotel and the branch line could be made to pay its way for a season. It could be closed for the winter months and the train service cut down to a minimum. .This is the way it appeals to the average person and it is to be hoped that the government will give the matter further consideration before taking steps in the direction indicated by the reports." . a wise investment that will pay richly in long, satisfying, economical service.
