Canada‘s mining industry is playing an important part in various other lines of industrial activity in the Dominion. In a special report on the consumption of supplies by the Canadian mining industry for 1934, prepared by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Oftawa, it is stated that during the past year total purchases by companies associatâ€" ed with mining in the. year to $76,083,000.â€"â€"Of â€"theâ€"above total, purâ€" chases for metal mmmg and nonâ€"ferâ€" rous smelting and refining comprises 80 per cent., while the gold mining branch alone contributed 39.4 per cent.; copperâ€"goldâ€"silver mines and metallurâ€" gical plants smelting these ores, totallâ€" ed $9,777,000; nickelâ€"copper mining $17,170,000; silverâ€"leadâ€"zinc mines, $10,â€" 425,000 and cobalt silver mining and smclting companies. $594,000. Canada‘s Mines Make Big Market for Industries The mechanical properties of the new music makers include five corncts, seven clarinets, four E.

The estiâ€" mated expenditure necessary was $200,000,000, it was stated at that time, and it would give employment to 26,000 men for a period of six years. The cry at the time was "Why rob Ontario to supply Chicago?" for at that time the "drainage" canal into the Mississipâ€" Editorially The Advance suggested that the matter of town league hockey for the ‘boys of Timmins be taken up sgriously. Clean sport for youths is a good thing for any comimunity, The Advance pointed out. L. Towers donated a cup ten years ago this week to ‘be given to the best senior basketball team in the district. When won three years in succession by the same team it was to become their property. In 1925 a similar situation faced the public school board as they had to contend with this year in shortage of accommodation for the school children. It was at this time of year that Matâ€" tagami public school was first opened, giving an additional eight rooms for primary education. Before that time. pupils from the Mattagami section of the town had had to go either to Monâ€" <ta or Central schools. Pieces of a broken circular saw in use near the Mattagami were thrown more than a quarter of a mile when an accident occurred ten years ago. Alâ€" though one piece went through the roof of a garage some distance away and another came dangerously close to a small boy, no one was injured. A Timmins grocery store keeper was committed for trial in November of 1925 when it was alleged that he had committed serious offences against six little girls in the district in which his store was located. The magistrate agreed that there was sufficient eviâ€" dence in each one of the charges to put the man on his trial. Blake Halliday, governor of the Onâ€" tarioâ€"Quebec district in Kiwanis, was a prominent visitor to Timmins ton years azo this week. He was entertained at a Kiwanis function ~when C. Keddie was chairman. "President Murdock pinchâ€"hitted well in singing," said The Advance account. More than one hundred Kiwanis, Kiwanees and their guests gathered at the Empire hotel one evening during the week of ten years ago for one of the brilliant social functions of the season. The entertainment which had been carefully planned some time in adâ€" vance took the form of a dinner dance. During the evening R. Smith sang two numbirs after both of which the crowd insisted on encores. President Murdock was in the chair for the ocâ€" casion. #4 LA d #* ## *# \_ _ Be as Rupe HER AS YOU CAN...

Watt was in the chair for the mteting and G. A. Macâ€" donald thanked the speaker for his interesting talk. The musical part of the programme included numbers from Miss Jean Roberts, Mr. Elrick and A. J. Downie. ed to the railway station and the chief went there to see what the trouble was. When the second crew arrived h> told them the story about his brains. Not a doctor could be found in South Porâ€" cupine at the time, so he was placed in a cell by Provincial Officer Craik pending investigation. He had credenâ€" tials from an English watchmaker and had been in western Canada for some time before arriving in the Porcupine, police learned from a inspection of his belongings. Gco. Makin took over the directing of the local conservatory of music ten years ago this week. It had formerly been conducted by H. F. Schroeder who had had to retire at that time on account of ill health. Mr. Makin came to Timmins well recommended and #ad done fine work in the Timimins Citizens‘ Band of that time.

Ted Duxfield, president of the league, was in the chair for the evening. The only regret of those present was that E. H. Bridger who had donated the medals, was unable to be there. Among those who spoke during the evening were Secretary W. A. Field; B. C. Lamble, past préesident of the P.DF.L.; G. A. Macdonald; C. G. Williams; President Ted Duxfield; Dr. J. A. McInnis, who presented the gold medals to the winâ€" ning team, the Hollinger; J. F. Curâ€" now, viceâ€"president, who presented the silver medals to the runnersâ€"up, the town "A" team.

"It was probably the biggest money‘s worth of good music and pleasing entertainment ever givein here," said The Advance. Rev. J. D. Parks was a most popular chairâ€" man. Among those appearing on the programme were Messrs Geils, Dodge, Heffernan and Cowan, a quartette; Mrs. Barrett; Mrs. Bowles: Rev. Mr. Bain of South forcupine; Messrs Lloyd, Cornthwaite, Wolno, and Philips, an instrumental quartitte from the Timâ€" mins Citizens‘ Band; Misses Margaret Geils, Maisie Roberts, Helen Chisholm and Margaret Easton, dancers; and H. M. Martin, Mr. Parks and A. Gordon accompanists. A three day visit from Colonel Jacobs of Toronto and Major Knight of North Bay, two officers of the Salvaâ€" tion Army, was one of the big events at the Timmins citadel ten ysars ago. Services were held each day. The St. Matthew‘s W.A. held a fine supper in the parish hall ten years ago this week which was well The sale of poppies returned more than $262 to the LO.D.E. in Timmins in the fall of 1925.

Its effect had alâ€" ready been felt on the Great Lakes., News from Schumacher ten years ago included that of the death of Mrs. M. Feldman, one of the aged and reâ€" spected citizsns o1 that town. She had come to America from Southern Russia in 1907 with her husband and in 1911 came to the Porcupine district. She was 72 years of age. C. R. Murdock represented the Timâ€" mins Kiwanis Club at Cobalt ten years ago when the newer town‘s club was the sponsor for the "best old town‘s" new Kiwanis Club. Damage to the roads of the North was brought to the attention of motorâ€" ists and others in the North through the publication of a story in The Adâ€" vance stating that overloaded trucks were doing a great deal of damage. "The matter seems to be a case where the people in general must ‘play the game‘ and where on the part of a few must be subordinated to the good of the general public,/ said The Adâ€" vance. "Three business men from the Porâ€" cupine camp were travelling south last week on a hunting trip and on the train they woke up to the discovery that they had neglecsed io secure the necessary deer license," said an Adâ€" vance story of ten years ago. "‘It‘s all right,‘ said ons of them, ‘I know a man on the lineâ€" who will get the licenses for us ang have them ready at the station. I‘ll wire him. ‘So this friend was wired accordingly. ‘Please get deer licens>s for Soâ€"andâ€"So and Soâ€"andâ€"So and Soâ€"andâ€"So.‘ When the train reachâ€" ed the particular station in question the friend was on the platform. He did not seem to have any licenses in his hand and he had a rather worried look on his face. As the wouldâ€"be hunters stepped from the train they were greeted by this friend with the words: ‘Say, what in blazes do you fellows want with beer licenses?‘ Explanations folâ€" lowed, togeth:r with tirades against the telegraphical typographical twistâ€" ing that had made ‘deer‘ ‘beer‘ at this time when everybody knows that ‘beer‘ is ‘dear.‘ Eventually the hunters seâ€" cured the necessary licenses much to the fear of the deer in the clear." The Cornish Oneâ€"andâ€"All Football Club had a very successful season in 1925. Receipts during the year had been $623.06 and $169.539 was left in tMe bank for the next season.

Hildreth Auer, of Timmins, then atâ€" tending Dartmouth College, in interâ€" collegiate games in the United States brought honour to the camp ten years ago when he put up a good battle for the harriers‘ race. His time of 31 minâ€" utes and 59 seconds was just ten secâ€" onds slower than that of the winner, Semid, of Columbia university. He represented his college in the interâ€" collegiate cross country run in New York City, one of the big athletic events of the vear. league that played in the Hollinger Recreation hall.

Professor Fezandie‘s pet is Old Naâ€" polcon, a French Panchardâ€"Levasssur, built in 1899, which, in contrast with American cars of that period, looks strangely like an automobile. It beâ€" longed to Lucky Baldwin, the mining millionaire. He bequeathed it to a man named Devantrey, who took it to Stevens under its own powir in 1922. Another French specimen, a Darracq, has a oneâ€"cylinder, twoâ€"stroke eng‘ne; the car advances by a series of lunges Selden was a patent attorney of Rochester, and early in the century got Wall Street backing to levy tribute on the whole automobile industry for patâ€" ent infringement. He built the two vehicles, a pleasure car and a truck, following exactly the blueprints he had filed in the administration of Rutherâ€" ford B. Hayes, and they worked. With these he went to law. He collected from some companies, but lost his most important suit, against Henry Ford. Originally he got an award of one cent from Ford, but this was reversed on appeal. After the suit one of:> Selâ€" den‘s lawyers, a Stevens man, presented the cars to his alma mater. The pleasure carrilage is simply an old highâ€"wheeled barouch> with a heavy engineâ€"two sets of three cylindâ€" ersâ€"slung underneath, and a tiller rising out of the floor in front of the coachman‘s box. For fuel both cars used keroscne. (From the New Yorker) If you want background for the Automobile Show, you might go over to Hoboken and see the Stevens Institute‘s collection of antadiluvian automoâ€" biles. It was started 30 years ago and has been added to every time a Stevens man has run across an ancient powerâ€" ed vehicle which has significance in the development of the motor car. The gems of the lot are two horseless carâ€" riages, designs for which were origin_ ally patented in 1877, which actually ran when their inventor, George R. Selden got the money to build them in 1905. Professor Eugene â€"H. Fezandiec, a husky young teacher of mechanical enâ€" gineering, who shows the collection beâ€" tween classes, told us he‘d had one of the engine‘s turning over about a month ago and that it sounded pretty good.

A decade ago, the Frofessor told us, some of the advanced students took out five of the old cars to drive them to an automobile show in New York. They had a hard time with a De Dion_Bouâ€" ton runabout (1900), nicknamed the Flea. This machine proceeded almost entirely by skidding, and to compliâ€" cate its handling the driver had to steer it with five or six levers while looking <straight down at them. He couldn‘t look ahead, and had to deâ€" pend upon a companion for guidance. On Fifth Avenue, in front of the Library, the Flea suddenly plunged forward against the lights, completely betraying its driver, When a traffic cop hollered at it, it mads for him and chased him up on the curb. If then skittered up the Avenue gaily. Proâ€" fessor Fezandie, who had been accomâ€" panying the procession in a car of modâ€" €rn made, crossed over to Madison Avenue and pretgnded he had nothing to do with the whole business. "Louis A.
