He has a daughter, too, menâ€" tioned last only because we don‘t know much about her. "His wife is a daughter of Milton Carr, whose name is still famous in Canadian politics he once held the House from a division for whole solid night by spesking throughout, in a voice like a foghorn, without stopping. "Bill isn‘t sorry his wife hasa‘t inâ€" herited the voice or the en€urance." "He is built like a wrestler and is a bit of an inventor, holding four minâ€" ing patents, including one ior a flotaâ€" tion apparatus, in which he has great faith. "Bill likes badminton, hiking and mountainâ€"climbing, is proud of a woolâ€" len mill built by his ancestors at Odesâ€" "Bill was back in Cobalt in 1918 aftery seige of shot and shell with the C.E.F., and in 1922 joined the Premier GOld Mining Company. He is now in his thirteenth year as mill superintendent, with duties connected with most aboveâ€" ground workings of the mine. "Bill was sorn in Renfrew, Ontario, in 1891. He arranged to arrive on July 1, that being a holiday, but until he was 20 had very few other vacationsâ€" with pay, at any rats. He had, in his own words, "a tcugh time between 16 and 20." In 1909 he was in Cobalt and in 1911 Porcupine, and for the next few years worked on mill conâ€" struction work on Dome, McIintyre, Porcupine Crown and other mines. "Many of the men he worked with in those days are among the mining leaâ€" ders of the present day. "His election cAmpaign, which would make any oldâ€"time politician do a merryâ€"gcâ€"round in his t:mb, consisted almost entirely of pursuing his usual course around the Atlin district, visitâ€" ing social functions and various meetâ€" ings, saying hello to the boys, and mentioning that he was running for the Legislature. "He made very few speeches, may have given away same election cigars, but didn‘t kiss a single baby. This shculd ‘be regretted by all those who enjoy a good laugh. "Bill (still insisting he is no politiâ€" clan) can make a spsech containing many pounds of red meat. When he does s2, his voice becomes gravelly about half way through, and when he is excited he drives home his points like a pile driver. He sometimes mixes his metaphors. "He is a born mimic, can tell stories that are really fun, is an ideal humorâ€" ist, but demands that he be taken seriâ€" ously. "He is of medium height, built broadâ€" ly throughout, has a dark beard struggâ€" ling for existence on a cleanâ€"shaven face. His nose, snubbed mCre than scmewhat, belies his bestling brows and heavy jaw. "He will tell yIJu he is interested in politics because "I like the opportuniâ€" ties that are presented an M.L.A. to assist in developing one of our ptonser industries," meaning minings of course. But we suspect he als> likes the opporâ€" tunity of putting government on a business basis. "His particular interest in life is development of gold and silver ores. "That M.L.A. tagged on his name for the first time in 1933, is destined to disappear at the end of his present term, if you‘ll take his own predicticn at its face value. He says he dses not choose to run again. "Not that he is possessed of tto much modesty; he merely let his experience with gold mines (running over 20 years), his splendid record as mill supâ€" erintendent of Premier Gold Mining Company, and all those whz> know him. do the talking. His friends are always more than willing to tell anyone inâ€" terested how much they think of Bill. ~â€""Bill Asseltine, metallurgist of Preâ€" mier mine, is a darn fine mining man We kncw this for a fact, too, even though Bill didn‘t tell us so himself.
