Gibson, there is now a :first-clas water route to the new gold mrea at Matachewan," said The Adâ€" vance ten yvears ago. "Better still the route passes through the finest mining country in this part of the North and a number of promising discoveries may besexpected as a result as well as the further development of excellent showâ€" ings that have already been uncovered along this route. The Nighthawk and Whitefish rivers have been cleared out and the excellent water route thus proâ€" vided runs within a mile or so of the important discoveries in the Matacheâ€" wan field. ‘The route starts from Conâ€" naught, thence up Nighthawk Lake, up the Nighthawk river four miles abhove the barite mine in the township of Fallon, then portage one mile into the Whitefish river which is cleared up to within a mile of the Ashley claims. This route will take the prospector into a proven country that is not all staked as in the section iinmediately around Matachewan. Fallon and Mcâ€" Neil townships particularly hold atâ€" tractions for the prospector. McNeil is one of the best townships in the district from the gold standpoint, acâ€" cording to oldâ€"timers, who should know und do know. There has been lots of gold found in McNeil and this sumâ€" mer will likely see this township more thoroughly tested out." Personal notes in The Advance ten years ago included: "Mrs. Geo. S. Drew, returned last night from a month‘s visit to her home in Canningâ€" ton, .and a trip to Toronto and other centres in the south." "Miss Izelda H.

Nominations for the various offices were called ral weeks previously, several woeeks | being allowed for the nominations to be > put â€"in.â€" The president, Austin Neame, was reâ€"elected for the ensuing ' ir by acclamation, but there were a 11 r of «candidates nominated for the other offices. The Legion decided | to vote by ballot and to select the variâ€" ous officers in relation to the vote cast. Other officers elected were: 1st viceâ€" president, T.

The Rasterâ€"tide services at the variâ€" ous churches hevre ten years ago, were largely attended and all proved most attractive. As usual there were espeâ€" clally large congregations at all the services at St. Anthony‘s and the Church of the Nativity, the music being a special feature and flowers adding to the attractiveness of the occasion. In The Advance ten years ago:â€" "Chief H. Jones has inaugurated a new plan in regard to the police force here. There is no deputy chief now, but inâ€" stead there are two sergeants, the one being on duty days and the other at nights. Ed. Moore and W. S. Craik have been promoted to the rank of sergeant. Sergeant Craik is on day duty this week and Sergeant Moore on night duty. They will alternate two weeks of day duty and two weeks night duty. Every man on the force, with the exception of the chief has a day off each week." ADVANCE, TTIMMITNS, ONTARIO He and his men rigged a transporter wire to the shore and removed over 800 tons weight from one of the ships â€"gunmns, torpedoâ€"tubes, ammunition, stores, anything they could remove. Other men set to work patching the damaged hulls In spite of the severe gales blowing directly on shore, and a beuavy sea breaking over both vesâ€" sels, they were eventually salvedâ€"the first in a fortnight, and the second, When the tide fell, both ships were high and dary, and in a very exposed and dangerous position. Experts said they were unsalvable; but not so the Chief Salvage Officer. in a helpless condition. Racing to the spot the salvage ship found her with six tanks, the engineâ€" room and all the after compartments flooded. Her after deck was nearly awash, and her bows cocked well up. She seemed likely to founder, so pumps were put on board and the ship kept afloat for four days while divers went below and patched the bomb damage. The damaged compartments were then pumped dry, steering gear and auxilâ€" iary pumps put into working order, and the ship towed into port for repairs. But for the salvage people she must have been written off as a loss. Two destroyers hadq the misfortune to run ashore on a rocky coast in thick weather at the top of high water spring tides. Another ship, severely damaged by enemy bombs, was towed into harbour with a heavy list to port and her deck awash. She was successfully beached, and divers set to work to patch or plug all the main inlets, discharges and auxiliary valves, together with the bomb hole and over 100 splinter holes. The compartments were then pumped ary, and fifteen qgays after being beached the ship was refloated and towed away for repairs. A large tanker worth £500,000 was torpedoed, and later bombed, shelled and machineâ€"gunned by aircraft while in a helpless condition. Up till the end of last year they have dealt succesfully with sixtyâ€"six ships that have gone ashore through the ordinary hazards of navigation, eor have been damaged by bhombs, torâ€" pedoes, min®es, fire or collision. A destroyer damaged in collision was brought into harhour with her upper deck within nine inches of the water. A patch measuring twentyâ€"nine feet by ninetsen was fitted by divers under water, and the ship was pumped dry and towed to a repair port. She is now back in service. A large merchant vessel was bombed and set on fire. The salvage ships went out to sea and brought the fire parâ€" tially under before taking her into harbour. Then the fire broke out again, raging furiously for three days. So they took the drastic step of beachâ€" ing the ship and fiooding the after holds, which successfully extinguished the filames. The vessel was only two years old and had cost £780,000 to build.. Her â€"cargo was worth another £400,000. The total damage to ship ang cargo did not exceed £150,000 so her salvage represented a saving of over one milâ€" lion pounds. But for the help given she must have been lost. The wildest weather does not deter the salvors. Their services have been available day and night ever since the outbreak of war. Nowadays they labour for the public good, and literally millions of pounds have been saved to the country by their efforts. During a recent visit to a naval base I happened to meet the Chief Salvage Officer of the area, whom Td known long before the war. He and his men were then working for a private salyvâ€" age firm; but when hostilities came they were taken over by the Admiralty, Nowadays they labour for the public good, and literally millions of pounds Millions of Dollars Saved tni Britain Through This Serâ€"‘ vice. y Remarkable Work Being Done by the Able bdlvw’e Men N farâ€"off Rhodesia, an Empire army is being (‘qmppod with special armored fighting machines, as above.

The Roard was happy to accept doâ€" nations of books from two of the borâ€" rowers, Mr. J. LaFrenier and Mr. J. Turner. A letter was read from a school teacher in Foleyet, Ontario, and it was decided to comply with WMs request for discarded books for use in his school. Ingenuity, dogged persistence, patches, pumps and compressed _ air saved those two vessels, and enabled them to be towed away for repairs. Modern destroyers cost about £350,â€" 000 apiece, There is nothing to which these salvage men will not turn their hands. The more impossible a job seems, the more they sem to like it.

Backed by the British Govâ€" ernment, purchases are being arranged of large quantities of native produce, and exports to the Dutch ERast Indies are willingly being proferred to the demands of Britain‘s home trade. In Lancashire there is virtually no damage to production and losses at sea are comparatively small. Lancashire is, therefore, doing all that can be done to fill the zap. Lancashire is now steadily fulfilling the cotton orders which have been coming in from the Dutch East Inâ€" dies following the visit to Java of the representative of the CGolton Board. When the Nazis seizeq the cotton mills of Holland, it was evident that the people of the Dutch,East Indies would have to make new arrangements to meet their clothing requirements. Quite apart from a huge trade in colourâ€"woven sarongs, Holland used to send to Java and the QOuter Islands something like 175,000,000 yards of cotâ€" ton pieceâ€"goods eveory years or as much as the large trade which Lancashire already does with Australia and New Zealand.
