Earthquake Tremors Felt in Timmins Area Timmins pzople, particularly thos» who work in the mines are used to be shaken, but Thursday night‘s "earthâ€" quake" set up a new record for quivers in the camp. The most serious damage was don: to local nerves,. Plenty of people missed an entire night‘s sleep. The town was quiet, with most lights cut in homes and stores, when between five and ten minutes after one o‘clock the ‘quake shook beds so hard that startled halfâ€"asleep men and women rose trembling. got into dressing gowns and went out on the streetâ€"many of them to listen for an alarm that would mean there had been a serious accident at the mine. It wasn‘t a pleasant feeling for most citizens. aP P t i# PAAA 4 it «D P PP PA P â€"AP ~AP >A > The town blazed with light within a few moments but soon all was quiet again. Then people began to notice things. A picture leaning on a dresser table has fallen down; a clock in the home of George Straatman at the touâ€" rist camp chimed for thirty seconds, completely upset by the strange disâ€" order; another clock just gave up, its hands pointing to five minutes after one; lids trembled on stoves; dishes danced on shelves; beds and whole houses crceaked ominously. Those Nonchalant People Some were nonchalant about the whole affair. "Just blasting at the mine," thought many, rolling over to go to sleep again. Some wéere so nonâ€" chalant that they didn‘t even wake up. Others thought it was a blizzard howlâ€" ing round the rooftop. People Roused Here by the Trembling Generally Blamed "Blasting" for the Disturbance. _ Others Thought it Due to the Wind. No Damage Done Here. Frightened wives of underground workers at some of ths> smalléer mines in the districe waited uneasily for word that the tremor had brought down loose rock. No such case was reported,. Meéen at Coniaurum did not even féel the shock. A rapid check up by the Mines Rescue BRureau throughout the province early Friday morning revealed that none of the mines had been affected in the slightest degree. Blames ‘Quake for Moving Garage Mrs. L. E. Munro, 95 Kirby avenus, had the best earthquake story in Timâ€" mins. The garage at the rear of the house was shifted a foot during the night. Graciously enough, she put it down to the tremble, only to discover later that it had been a Hallowe‘in prank of some older boys in the neighâ€" bourhood. It was perhaps the only wilful damage done here that whole evening and it will cost about $15 to put things back the way they were. Helena, Montana, got the worst shakâ€" ing but the ‘quake that hit there was not the same one felt here. At the Montana capital about $5,000,000 damâ€" age was done and two lives were lost. Alithough various experts state varâ€" ious centres for the earthquake felt here, its effects were felt from the head of Lake Superior to New "*York City. pear that a region in the neighbourâ€" hood of Parent, Quebec, about 180 miles northwest of Ottawa, was the actual centre. There, a "gaping hole" 40 feet in depth, and hundreds of feet of torn up track on the old Transontinental bear witness to the strength of the shock. Earthquakes in Timmins aren‘t a patch on those in Korea, George Bruce reminded students at the Timmins High School on Friday morning when he delivered a short talk to them on conditions and customs in the Japanese islands and Manchuria. As principal of a boys‘ high school in Kcrea under the educational branch of the missionary work of the United Church in Korea, Mr. Bruce has had many yvears in which to observe the phases of life in the far East. which mA the â€" We {aorge Bruce, Former Principal of Boys‘ High School in Korea Gives Very Timely and Interesting Address at the Timmins High School on Friday. ontrasted Earthquakes in Korea and Timmins forms Damage Reported damage reports it would ap mot COluU nt standards of gilâ€" of government tend to ideals quite different While they may be conâ€" ird in some respects, rs in which their civiliâ€" > refined than that of hat Ne 1AF world has much for kful to the Orient, ts, pointing out that ries had originated ements it had been ries had come from ut the at the over to so nonâ€" was shaken so that At Kirkland Lake perturbed than in They put it down t one of the local mitr The home of J.

Most people agree that it was more violent than the one of 1925, although one scientist, Dr. W. A. Parks, head of the Department of Geology at the Uniâ€" versity of Toronto, thinks the one of ten years ago was the more serious. More Tremors on Friday, saturday Up until Saturday, tremors were still being felt in many parts of Ontario, although no one in Timmins noticed them. Church bells rang in Oshawa, a train at Barrie (probably No. 47 coming north) shook as it stoog at the station, a Mimico man (?) claims he was tossed out of bed. It was "Mother Nature‘s Hallowe‘en prank." The Dionne quintuplets and the seisâ€" mologist at Toronto, W. G. Carroll, slept soundly through the whole thing. At any rate, it provided a lot of exâ€" citement for the thirty seconds it lased, and what a fine subject of conâ€" versation|! Wedding of Popular Couple Yesterday Thos. Bird and Miss Doris Calve United in Marriage Reception Held After the Ceremony. A quiet marriage was solemnized yesterday when Doris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Calve, of 154 Cedar street, north, became the bride of Thos. H. Bird, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. Bird, of 178 Maple street north. Rev. Bruce Millar officiated. Mrs. P. Bannerman attended the bride and Martin Meredith ‘was the groomsman. A reception was held afâ€" terwards at the home of the groom‘s parents. The popular young couple will make their home in the Goldfield Block. Mr. Bird is employed at Burke‘s Pine street drug store, and is one of the most popuâ€" lar young people of the town, while the bride is equally held in high esteem by a wide circle of acquaintances.

It is doubtful if half the voters will turn out, even though it is a question that affects the pocketbooks of every light and power user in the town. If the franchise is approved by the electorate, the new low rates will go into effect on June 1st, 1936, the powâ€" er company has agreed, instead of on December 1st, 1936, when the present franchise expires . If the franchise is turned down by the clectorate, it is altogether likely that the present rates will remain in effect until the legal date of expiry, December 1st. The power company is not even obligeq to keep the rates at their present level, since the former Dbyâ€"law provided for much higher rates than have been charged for the past few years. There have been four volunâ€" tary reductions made in the ratss of the franchise as at present. No Alternative Offered Now No alternative proposal is at present before the electors. The possibility of Hydro supplying power for the municiâ€" pality seems remote, since the initial rates wcould be higher than those ofâ€" fered by the power company andâ€" it would be necessary to make a capital investment of $192,000, at least a part of which would have to be obtained from a debenture issue of the Town of Timmins. Hydro makes no definite ofâ€" fer that at any time their retail rates would be lower than the power comâ€" pany‘s offer, although they do hold out hope that at the end of ten years, or fiftsen years, when the equipment would be paid for, there might be a reâ€" duction. This depends uimust entirely, they state, on the prosperity of the mines adjacent to th, :.owi, since they leok forward to supplying large blocks of bower to those mines now establishâ€" ed as well as to the newer properties. At the end of 15 ycars, the whole disâ€" tributing system, including the transâ€" fcrmers necessary to step down the voltage on the Abitibi canyon line that passes over Timmins, would be the property of the municipality as a whole.

More than a hundred people sat down to supper at sixâ€"o‘clock and sixâ€"thirty., The fsod was tasty home cooking, well served. Around the edges of the large hall at the church were arranged series of tables at which a large amount of homeâ€"made goods of all kinds were on display. By six o‘clock only a very small part of the original "stock" reâ€" mained. Homeâ€"made candy, cakes, cookies, pies; homeâ€"knitted goods, neeâ€" dlework, embroidery were easily sold to the large number of people who atâ€" tended.

M. Macaulay, manaâ€" ger of Pamour, told The Advance on Saturday at the property. It‘s obvious that Pamour isn‘t being set up for a year or for a decade. It‘s to be a permanent fixture of the Porâ€" cupine camp. Steelâ€"framed buildings, sheathed on the insidse with copper, deep concrete foundations; brick office buildings:; order gradually arising out of the tangle of rocks and muskesg} all point toward permanency. Yet with all the attention that has been lavished on the surface strucâ€" tures, the underground is not neglected. Pamour is a consolidation of three properties that have, during the time since the earliest days of the camp, met with varying success. Three Naâ€" tions, LaPalme Porcupine and Porcuâ€" pine Grande, three groups of claims that stretched out along the highway a few miles east of Golden City were small affairs, none of which were ever put on a sound basis. As one mine, they assume the importance of a maâ€" jor operation. The vein system is so entangled that it really involves all three groups, hence the difficulty in former days of making a gold mine pay. Formed Last Year Mr. Macaulay surveyed the properâ€" ties in 1934, acquired all three for reâ€" sale to a company known as Pamour Porcupine Gold Mine Limited. Quebec Gold Mining Corporation, for whom Mr. Macaulay acquired the properties and of which he is viceâ€"president, conâ€" trols a large block of the stock, Noranâ€" da now holds a large block of shares and has an option on another block. Together the two companies control Paâ€" mour, yvet neither has full control. So interesting has the picture at Pamour proven that many have taken it for grantedthat 4 zown will spring up on the shores of pretty Three Naâ€" tions lake. Already tne company has been approached by men offering to establish a townsite, but until the spring, no action will be taken. More than 200 men are at present employed on construction and underâ€" ground. Ninety of them are aAccommoâ€" dated in three wellâ€"built bunkhouses, just south of the highway on a "street" leading to the lake. A little to the east, other houses are under construction for homes for the "key" men of the orâ€" ganization. The architecture is of a fine type and the company‘s little townâ€" site has every indication of becoming a mode! place. Three Nations lake will be kept clear of slimes, Mr. Macaulay said, since the mine is depending on that source for the milling process as well as drinking water. A 104,000 gallon steel tank is now erecteg and in service. Water is el<ctrically pumped to storage. Start Compressors This Week Hydro power has been in use for the past month, although the next, few days will see the first part of the large block of power contracted for go into use when the big electrically operated compressors go into service, replacing the present Three Nations steam plant. mill, not to be erected until next spring, will be of at least 500 tons capacity, probably slightly more. The fiveâ€"compartment shaft, now sunk beâ€" low the 200â€"foot level, will have a caâ€" pacity of somewhere about 1,500 tons daily. n Ulhe CamD. i4 YITLIUAaAiiY NDCW INLE NW had all the facilities for transportatior it could desire. A highway at its fron: door, a railway at its rear, have mad the cost of freight almost negligible, s« that, as the manager says, "there is n( reason why Pamour shouldn‘t have th best right from the first." The Sout! Pcorcupine airport, just a few miles dis tart, provides quick transportation i case of necessity. The country surrounding the littlh lake that adds so much beauty to th spot, is not burned over and will b taken care of, the mine promises, that Pamour, should it develop int ancther of the Porcupine‘s prosperou mining towns, will have many advan tag*s not possible in the alder estab lished places.
