The week after the visit of the newsâ€" papermen to T:mmins practically the whole of the editorial page of the Ferâ€" gus Newsâ€"Record was devoted to an account of the trip to the North. The following extracts are taken from The Fergus Newsâ€"Record‘s editorial pag»: More About the Gold Towns "Last week, we devoted almost a whole page to the story of a trip to the Northland. That should have bâ€"en plenty of space to to a short holiday, but as it turned cut, we ran cut of space long before we ran out of descripticon, so we havs> to cortinue the story this week.

One would have thought that he and his wife would have plenty to do that day, without the extra task of feeding all the ladies of the party at their own home, but that was just one more example of true Northern hospitality. In the afterâ€" roon, the ladies were fed once again, this time at the golf club, where Mrs. Templin was called upon to move the "It seems ciety, this on have been th ers Tthat in the m in the n« take it : work for aergr is an > good busines the beverage ro profitable for th casion, we did n ing killed. adgdles 1 and Mt lisher C is publi turtn eyes of a the piece of the cl urned pal esn ind old slevatd to the 114 xt We Deliver very time : e, somebody t 24 hours. s it‘s a very exclusive so composed of women wh threeâ€"quarters of a mile un one reason being that ther uperstition among the min yery time a lady goss dowl 18 111 IrIn.

We suspect the room was a beverage room normally, but it had been rearrangd for the occasion, and after all, we don‘t think the hotel lost any thirsty cusâ€" tomers as a result, because it had two others at least. This work of mining down in the hot rock seems to develop quite a thirst, for Timmins has 25 beer parlors (licensed.). An Original Menu "It was chbvious that the people of the town had been told two things: Thry were to impress upon their visitâ€" ors the nsed for better roads in their part of the province, and the fact that there are already some 2,000 unemployâ€" ed among those who had drifted in looking for work.

They are well built cities,| with some of the finest public build-! ings we have seen in cities of their| size. In Kirkland Lake, particularly, everything is comparatively new, while | the history of Timmins goes back less : than 30 years Their prosperity de-! pends on one thing onlyâ€"the prwexlcei of gold ore in the rock. When that ore runs done, the cities are done.i Everybody in the North knows that, yat nobody seems to worry over it very much. They feel sure that there is goldâ€"bearing rock enough for 25 years’ at least, and nobody seems to look beâ€" yond that. The price of gold has a great dral to do with the prosperity of the mines. but the price always seems to be upwards. body knows but it may go down inâ€" definitely. _A million dollars appears to be the lowest price for mining equipâ€" ment. and there‘s always something of a gamble about it, as all buyers of mining stocks know. ‘"Anyone looking for the wild mining towns of the movies wcluld a‘so be> disâ€" appointed. We believe that there is more than the average amount spent on luxuries in these towns, simply beâ€" cause the miners get steady work and good pay. In soms ways Timmins is similar to Forgus.

No doubt the sight would be interesting, and yet it would fall far short of the movie verâ€" sion.

The head of the weapon measures seven and oneâ€"half inches in length, two and a quarter inches in depth and one and onsâ€"half inches in width. It shows positive signs of where the hanâ€" dle was attached in the middle, and is sharpened at one end. While signs of dle was attached in the middie, sharpened at one end.

Father Richard estimated that the tomahawk was about 300 years old. "The Indian stopped lusing those weapons shortly after the coming of the white man, when they were supâ€" plied with guns and ammunition," he said. But in the meantime, Mr. Lehto is puzzled as to what he is going to do with his latest possession. "There is no museum in Sudoury where I. can put it, so I guess that I will have to either send it to Toronto, or keep it as a personal posssssion," he said. ‘"You can bet I will keep my eyes open for any similar articles."
