Many in Timmins watch for the first appearance Oof these little birds, and more than one garden has looked with proud proâ€" prietary interest in one or two of these delightful little birds who make a habit of visiting the gardens once or twice a day. In recent years the attitude of gardeners towards birds has changed considegrably, and visits from the birds are looked upon as part of the pleasure of the gard>n. Accordingly, there will ke, more than passing interest in the following paragraph from The Haileyâ€" burian last week:â€" "J. R. Whorley reported to ‘The Haileyburian on Friday last, May 26th, that there was a hummingbird in his greenhouse on that day, the first of the season. This is exceptionally early, if not unprecedented, for these small birds to get this far north, Mr. Whorâ€" ley says. They are always seen first among the flowers under glass, later becoming common in the gardens, but the small visitor coming in May sprung a surprise. It might be a sign that we are to have a warm summer, Mr. Whorâ€" ley said." Smith‘s Falls Recordâ€"News: A citiâ€" zen, of the country to the south of us, has patented a mattress made of rubâ€" ber bands stretched on a frame, If such becomes popular it should make it easier for sound sleepers to bounce out of bed in the morninz when the alarm goes off. IaSst was served bride‘s parents, choosing for the afternoon â€" dress premier roses. In the evening the bride and groom received their numerous friends at a reception in the Ukrainian hall, on Mountjoy St., where a large number of Triends gathered to wish them much happiness, and to shower them with Qutâ€"ofâ€"town suests at the we included Mrs. Mike Zabiak, aunt 0 bride, and Misses Jessie and Elsi¢ biak, all of Rouyn. numerous beautiful and useful gifts.

There is an alternaâ€" tive, as everyone knows, but it is too horrid to discuss. the child was not seen and effort made to avoid hitting the youngster, if the driver had been watching the road as he should have been. The taxi drivet told the jury that he was travelling at a rate between 25 and 30 miles pet hour and did not see the child. He said he felt a bump on the fender and "Hammell was the first to arrive at the scene of the discovery. There stood the discovery post on a dome of white quartz. The moss had been stripped off and heavy rains had washed its face clean and from a distance of 20 feet we could see the ‘gold‘ shining in the morning sun. Hammell got down on his hands and knees the better to examâ€" inge the show and suddenly gave tongue to one of his famous ejaculations, then burst out laughing, pointing to a pair of discarded Englishâ€"made boots lying there where ‘The Colonel‘® had camped. The boots were studded with brass hob nalls Every time the Englishman had stepped on the hard quartz he had salted himself!*" Hector Thisdelle, taxi driver, Hailtcyâ€" bury, is out on $5,000 bail following a charge of dangerous driving in connecâ€" tion with a recent accident in which boy, Jean Mondeaux, of Ccbalt, lost his life. The little boy is saild to have stepped out in front is said to have stepped out in front of the taxi, but a coroner‘s jury investiâ€" galing the tragedy found the fatality was due to "negligence and failure to observe dus precautions when in a motor car." Witnesses sugzested that the taxi was driving at a smarter pace then it should have been doing and that there seemed to be no reason why "So the rising sun saw us poling the canoe up Fox Rapids, past the last of the white water. Wesshipped our poles and bent to the paddles, as the ‘kicker‘ was then just a dream in the brain of some mechanical genius. Jack Munroe pulled out the map, sized up the shore line and opined that we had better take to the bush at a clump of cedars up the bank a bit. We pulled up the canoe and cached it out of sight, picked up our packs and headed for the ‘gold‘ show. Says Tom: "It was night in our tentâ€" ed town at the mouth of Bear Creek, running into the Montreal River, and now .known as Elk Lake. Raucous gramophones drowned out the summer night noises of the loons and the owls. Kid Brady‘s "honky tonk" was all lit up, and most of the patrons too, after a few shots of that patent concoction, ‘Cobalt Bloom,; a mixture of grain alcohol and flavouring matter. "In this little outpost community were gathered the men who later made gold mining camp history, Take a look inâ€" side and get a glimpse of the prospecâ€" tors who fought toeâ€"toâ€"toe with grim nature, took everything she could hand out; wild rapids. head winds, black flies, mosquitoes, Fiftyâ€"below temperaâ€" tures, camped out in the snow with nothing but a camp fire, freezing one side and roasting the other alternately: lonesome, hungryâ€"no rabbit in the snare, no breakfastâ€"beaten and didn‘t know it, bulldogging it somehow until nature, out of sheer respect, vielded a Hollinger, a Lake Shore, a Noranda and a Flin Flon. "Jack Munroe was talking in low tones to ‘The Colonel." a tall distinâ€" guished looking individual who had just come down the river from Fort Mataâ€" chewan. They emptied their glasses and headed out into the night. Munroe beckoned me to follow and I trailed them down to our camp where already were gathered Jack Hammell and Mike Hackett who were busy with packsacks, blankets and grubstake,. ‘Looks like you boys are going some place,‘ I said, and they replied in cautious tones, ‘Yes, we‘re going up the river. The Colonel has made a gold discovery and given us a map of the location. You know that country, Tom. How is the river, very rough?‘ ‘Yes,‘ I told them. ‘It‘s rough between Fox Rapids and Indian Chutes, about seven miles of white water. Bad enough bucking those rapids in the davlight and only a crazy prospector would tackle them in the dark.‘ But Hammell insisted that we start. ‘Crazy or not, Tom, we‘re going right now. If we wait until morning the stampede will be on and there will be a devil of a mixâ€"up.‘ Haileyoury Taxi Driver Charged After Fatality What Jack Hammell Said About the Colonel‘s Gold W. C.

It may be saidâ€"that from Cobalt and Porcupine came the men who provided the necessary lead to the development which made Northern Ontario and Northwestern Quebec one of the richest mining territories in the world. The Porcupine prospectors, a great fraternity, an exceptionally worthy motive behind their celebration plans, that of founding a fund for the purpose of providing a refuge for aged and feehle followers of the profession. There isn‘t any doubt that they will succeed in this endeavour, for a very great many are indebted to their work and accomplishments for wealth they now possess. Unfortunately, the Cobalt camp was not memoralized by the compilation of a complete history. This field now in the waning stage was really the start of silver mining in the easterin section of Northern Ontario. Until 1902 when silver ore in paving quantities was proâ€" ven in Cobalt. district, very little of the mineral was produced in Ontario. up to 15 years Cobalt ranked with the big silver producing fields on the continent and even in late years has been able to produce sufficient to claim mention in the foremost silver camps, Porcupine was the first big gold strike in the North and was the lead to the amazing development north of Engleâ€" hart in the past 30 years, When they get together in August, the old prosâ€" pectors should plan for the compilation of a true‘history of the camp. Only they know the background of the rich field and only they can tell of the hardâ€" ships, disappointments and joys of those who pushed north from Cobalt confidant that more silver, gold and other valuable minerals would be found. Nothing would bettt the deeds of the early : than a place that would when feebleness ing their exacting work As an advance notice of the August fete said, the affair is being arranged to cause a reassembly of the "old timers," those who did the first prosâ€" pecting in the Porcupine area and who were responsible for the Hollinger, McIntyre, Big Dome, Pamour and other notable finds. Iif the survivors of the Porcupine ‘"originals" are induced to return for the festival, there will be opportunity to write a history of the camp worthy of a place in the Dominâ€" ion archives. Making a Five and a One Dollar Bill Into Two Fives The Town of Timmins held an Old Boys‘ Reunion within the past two years and on that occasion the miners, old and recent, contributed to a great commemoration of the reason for settâ€" ing up a camp which, in a few years, developed into a modern city. The men responsible for the great Porcupine "strike" in 1909 will be meâ€" moralized by a gala celebration which has been titled "Old Home Week." Since the affair is intended to comâ€" memorate the great find which has meant much to the province and to the Dominion, a more appropriate title could be applied. Much notice is being given these days to the proposed celebration of the thirâ€" tieth anniversary of the Porcupine camp. One day last week The Globe and Mail made editorial reference to the Porcupine Prospectors‘ Association who are sponsoring the celebration, and in last Wednesday‘s North Bay Nugzget there was the following editorâ€" i8A ] :. Honour the Prospector The Porcupine mining field, Canada‘s premier source of gold, will experience a rousing fete in the period August 5 to 12 if the prospectors of that camp fully realize from plans now in the making.

Included in the woodâ€"work display were bird nests, tie racks, bookâ€"ends, book racks and many other pieces of work which were expertly finished. The girls work included many articles of clothing and other pieces or work. During the evening, at intervals, students of the school would present a short pregramme. These were girls from Grade 8, who sang several selecâ€" tions, directed by Miss White. The girls were: sopranos, Daisy Greeves, Helen Crispin, Daphne Gay, Beulah Wood, Annie D‘Alessandri, and Mary audel; contraltos, Dina Casonato, Rosa Diminin. Ida Dionisio, and Doris Ratâ€" tray; alto, Eileen Clegg., They sang the following selections: "Here‘s a Health Unto His Majesty." "Now Is the Month of Maying." "The Lass with the Delicate Air." "A Farewell." "Dreamtown." ‘"‘The Quest." Little Miss Mary Colavincenzo was the charming soloist for the selection In one of the rooms a special table was devoted to work done by Beatrice Colborne, a young girl who had spent some time at the Sick Children‘s Hosâ€" pital. Miss MacKenzie, the teacher in this room, explained that the pupil had continued her studies at the hosâ€" pital, and had also studied knitting and handwork. In the display were included the notebooks of the student, as well as an apron which she had maude, and a pretty doll with a beautiâ€" fully finished wide skirt of crepe paper. Each room had exhibits of the chilâ€" dren‘s schoolâ€"books, special art exhibits of work done by the pupils and other work. In the upper grades the visitor was treated to a display of handwork and knitting done by the girls, and the hallway of the upper storey boasted a long table, the woodâ€"work masterpieces Oof the boys. eachâ€"if they get by. It is said that a numjer of these bills were passed reâ€" cently in Kirkland Lake. The first one was discovered in the receipts of one of the Kirkland Lake theatres If these bills have been successfully passed in Kirkland Lake it may be taken for granted that effort will be made to pass them in Timmins. in any event it would be well worth while for all here to keep an eye out for this form of fraud.
