Forty Trail Rangers from all over tiiz | district of Cochrane returned to their homes on Friday after a highly sucâ€" cessful and enjoyable week at Camp Waskesiu, on the beautiful shore of Nighthawk Lake, Northeast bay. The remarkable growth of the camp, sponâ€" sored by the Excelsior Tuxis Square, Timmins, is proving it a muchâ€"needed adjunct to Tuxis work. The perfect loâ€" cation and excellent facilities made it one of the finest camp sites in Onâ€" tario. Six permanent buildings have already beson erected and more are to follow just as soon as possible,.

Moisley, with Rev. Hugh Moorhouse, of Kapuskasing, for a "sky pilot," the boys had one fine week of it. In addition to all the sports, badge work and Bible study, the Trail Rangers worked hard at improving the camp site, now only a little over a year old. The cutting of a road from the Connaughtâ€"Nighthawk road to the camp, a distance of about a quarter of a mile, was begun, and within a short time now will be of real service.

The seawall serves as a revetment for the gravel walk along the east side, leading to a set of steps cut in the hard clay, by which it is possible to reach the top, where vesper service is held.

May Instal Cyanide Plant Later. Good Results from Work at Property. Within a few weeks, Gillies Lakeâ€" Porcupinc Gold Mine will be treating 60 tons of ore daily by flotation proâ€" cess. Two Kennedy mills and a 25â€"ton ball mill will feed the bank of Denver flotation cells. The three mills are in cperation now and concentrates are beâ€" ing stored for shipment to a refinery. The Denver â€"cells are now practically installed, angq when The Advance visitâ€" ed the property last week, they were set up, almost ready for operation. The amalgam barrel is still in operaâ€" lion on high grade and is treating about 600 pounds a day, With the purâ€" chase of a pulverizer, highâ€"grade ore to the extent of about 1,200 pounds a day will be treatsd. At present the mill feed is coming from Noa. 8 and No. 10 veins on the 300â€"foot level, the 500â€"foot level and from a winze being sunk from the 500. Much of the highâ€"grade is being Oobâ€" tained from the winze, and shows free gold in fairly large quantities. Samples of this assay more than a thousand dollars a ton. The millhead is being kept high now while development work is yielding such good ore, but when regular proâ€" duction gets under way on the 60â€"tonsâ€" aâ€"day basis, the heaq will be regulated. Within two months, B. N. Hyman, president, told The Advance, the inâ€" stallation of a cyanide plant will be seriously considered.

Altogether, Gillies Lakeâ€"Porcupine is quickly becoming a modern, complete mine. There is sufficient capital on hand to mest all immediate requireâ€" ments, and it is freely predicted that the mine will pay its own way from now on. Kapuskasing Work on Dominion Airport Work by the Dominion Government will be begun in the near future on the airport at Kapuskasing, which is to be one of the chain stretching across Canâ€" ada from coast to coast. Hangars and radio beacon tower will be built, and powerful floodlights installed. It is unâ€" derstood that all buildings in connecâ€" tion with the airport will be of permaâ€" nent type construction. Other airport projects, such as the cne at Ramore, are proceeding on the relief camp basis, under which the government supplies all necessities, toâ€" bacco and so on, and pays 20 cents day for those who are temporarily up against it. Twelve have left Timmi®s during the past week for the Ramore camp, and a number more are expected to leave in a short time.

Passes Second Form Exams. at 11 Years Rezsently The Advance noted the case of a Kinmount boy who was the youngest pupil in Ontario ~in 1935 to pass his high school entrance examinaâ€" tion. The Kinmount boy has a rival in Timmins in the person of Murray Mcâ€" Farland who passeq his examinations for second form this year when he was only eleven years of age, Murray was only ten years of age when he passed his kigh school entrance examinations. His record is the better because he is continuing the high standing in high school that he held in the public schools. Often people pass into high school at an early age and then seem to fall down in the harder work of the high school. Murray McFarland, howâ€" continued maAK] in school work hasn‘t been wi He has been in interfer®s with a pupil‘s success. He has also lost much time from school through accidents, being off for six weeks with a broken arm, and losing another six weeks through an accident when he lived in Hamilton.

To Hold Special Meeting of Town Council This Week A special meeting of the council will be held this week sometime, but the day has not been set yet, though it will probably be Thursday or Priday. There are a number of important things to be discussed, among which is the refusal of the Railway and Municipal Board to grant permission to the town to issue paving debentures Pigeon Said to Tell of Man Lost in Bush Word from Sudbury last week told of a carrier pigeon being found there with a note tied to its leg. The note was scribbled on part of a letter, and read: "Played out in bush 14 miles west Timâ€" mins July 8 Dosithee Labine." The authorities are not inclined to take the note seriously, but in any case with no provincial officers on duty here last week when the word was received, with the ‘"bush 14 miles west of Timmins" meaning an immense area, there seemed to be little to be done. Dosithee Labine is thought to be a man usually known as "Dusty" and living at SBchuâ€" macher. He is not known in Timmins to any extent. He is a bushworker, and had been employed by a local firm until last Mav. after which time track of The death of Leonard, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Donat Dagenals, OCâ€" curred yesterday at the family home on Columbys street.
