The answer to that one is that you would have to do a lot of skipping around in this Porcupine country before you wou‘!ld find any considerable ‘plot of land where there was no gold. For years past gold has been taken out from underneath the town of Timâ€" mins. Recently they have been drilling in back yards in town and finding gold beneath the burden of sand and rock. In Kirkland Lake people are not able to sleep without the sound of the drills working beneath them, as the lack of this lullaby would rouse them from peaceful slumber. quire a Mr. Aberhart and pass a law about where gold mines should be found, there should be clauses about the pronunciation of names as well as thé spelling. Readers of newspapers should have equal rights with editors. For instance, there is all that gold referred to in recent issues of The Advance as being in the Uchi Lake . district. If there is to be simplified spelling for gold disâ€" coveries there should also be place names that do not make the ordinary reader stammer when he comes to them. If gold at Lake Nistoaseen (hope that‘s right!) is harg to spell, it‘s no worse than having to speak out without warning about the finds at Uchi Lake. The old prospectors have a saying that "gold is where you find it." They are the lads that find it, and they ought to know. If the city gentlemen would like to control the locaâ€" tion of gold and wish to be so fastidious about where to find it, why not build a few roads to the known mining areas whose names the people have already learned to spell and to pronounce. There are literally hundreds of gold finds yet to be anâ€" nounced in the area known as Porecupineâ€"Pâ€"oâ€"râ€" câ€"uâ€"pâ€"iâ€"nâ€"e. | There is an oldâ€"time prospector who has a theory that gold is more likely to be found near. a lake than anywhere else. This prospector, Harry Preston, himself found a gold mine near a lake, and directed others to lakes nearby where gold. was also found in plenty. The Dome, the HollOin-! ger, the Buffaloâ€"Ankerite, the Paymaster, the Pamour, all started out alongside lakes.

The chan convenience suffered, yet there was too much time hnd trouble and temper wasted in attempting to enforce parking limits. Most towns and cities will fully understand the situation at Passaic. Timâ€" mins, for example, knows all about it. Passaic, however, turned to the slot machine for relief. A series of slot machine devices were installed in theâ€"parking area. They included arms that preâ€" vented parking until a nickle was daropped into the machine. When the coin was inserted, however, the arms dropped down to allow parking. Then the machine, as usual, got in its work. The minâ€" utes of parking were registered and when the hour iimit was reached a red sign appeared. That meant a ticket from the constable on his beat. There was no chance for argument or appeal, the whole thing was automatic. At first the people steered clear of the slot machines altogether. That in itself solved the biggest part of the problem. When the motorists eventually caught the fever to "play the machines," they were regulated' and controlled by machinery and at comparatively little cost. In either case the parking problem ceases in Passaic, New Jersey. The moral would appear to be to use the slot machines for traffic. purposes only. The chances are that the maâ€" chines would become so unpopular that no one! would even look at them unless he was fairly forcâ€" d to do so. Passaic‘s plan may mean the end of What to do with the slot machines? â€" Thatâ€"is a question truubling many municipalties. Some have sought solution by licensing the machines. Some have banned them. Toronto has used the method of literally smashing the machines. Other places have been content to just "knock" them. Timmins at the present time has some Oof the machines awaiting the hammer. It may be that Passaic, New Jersey, has found the right remedy. Passaic has turned the slot devices to use in reguâ€" lating traffic. For some time past Passaic was troubled with the parking problem. So many cars were parked in the business area that business and convenience suffered. vet there was too much time Despatches note that for the first time in five years the little town of Blind River has less than 1000 people on relief.

From North Bay north to Matheson, thence west through the Porcupine gold fields to Kapuskasing is by far the most sensible route where the most of The Advance, Timmins Dear Sir:â€"Thirteen million dollar bridges and Transâ€"Canada highway arxl paved highway Toronto to North Bay! Now comes the news that a thirâ€" million dollar bridge is going to be built across the St. Clair River, conâ€" necting Por, Huron, Mich., with Sarnia, Cnt.â€"quite a large sum, no doubt. But if the Transâ€"Canada highway is routed the Heenan way, up the barren rccky shore of Lake Superio, then the right plazce for this expensive bridge would be ai Sault Ste. Marie. This bridge at Sarnia and another one just as costly a little south of it at Windâ€" or, and a paved highway from Toronto to North Bay sure eats up many milâ€" lion dollars. Still it gives lots of emâ€" ployment and is a real good idea. But why all of a sudden get foolish and spend millions more to take tourists away from these bridges and costly paved roads by routing the Transâ€"Canâ€" ada highway up the shore of Lake Suâ€" perior? Just let me ask you readers of The Advance, or anyone for that matter: Supposing you lived in the cenâ€" tre of Indiana State or Michigan, and you were going to take a trip to Winâ€" nipeg or Vancouver, which would you doâ€"go right north through Michigan and cross at the Sault and up the shore. or would yoy cross at Windsor or Sarâ€" nia and come east over 200 miles, then north over 200 miles, then west again another 200 miles to Sault Sate. Marie. No doubt you would do as thousands more will do if the highway goes via Lake Superior and that is travel north through Michigan and save 400 miles and get your fuel for one half the price. If our rulers at Queen‘s Park and Otâ€" tawa have any real sense they ought to use it right now and see that the rocky Lake Superior route is forgotteni and thrown into the waste basket, beâ€" cause if they choose that route, it su1e1 is going to take a great lot of tow'lst trade away from both the Win Sarnia bridges and divert it to Michiâ€" gan instead of drawing it to Ontario. Michigan will sure build a paved highâ€" way to Sault if the highway goes up the shore.
