Practically every mining camp on the continent was represented, as well as a number of delegates from other points, among the latter being a mining engineer from the Phillippines and one from Japan. Every state in the American union was represented as was almost every country in the world. There was a fire at the Queen‘s hotel twenty years ago, the loss running over the thousand dollar mark.

Twenty years ago there was a bad wreck on the T. N.

Dalzell was in Toronto buying the stock for the new store he was opening in Sept. 1923. It was also noted that in the earlier days of the camp Mr. Dalzell was among the busiâ€" mness men of the district and also wellâ€" known for his service to the public at Gobalt in the early days oi that camp. The following from The Advance of Aug. 29th, 1923, will be of general inâ€" terest especially to golfers: "Friday and Saturday last week were redâ€"letter days in Timmins for golf enthusiasts, and. especially for the lady golfers of the town and district.

Sudbury Firemen Not as Good as Timmins Brigade â€"â€"â€"Timmins fire fighters have a notâ€" able reputation for not only fighting fires, but also performing any and evâ€" ery other serviceathat may come .their way. They have rescued children who locked themselves in bathrooms. They have brought down pet*kittens from power poles. They have rendered first aid to those in danger of drowning. They have attended to refrigerators that were leaking stifling gas. Only a Week or so ago they had a call from a lady who couldn‘t hang out her washâ€" ing because of a wasp‘s nest near the line. The firemen destroyed the wasp‘s nest and the lady was able to hang out her wash in safety. It may be that see that he is making more than good with the big concern he reprcents in this district." ; were as competent and publicâ€"spirited as the brigade in Timmins. A call was received last week at the Sudbury fire hail that a small dog was in danger Of drowning in the creek near Young drowning animal. Instead, *they stood as far away as practical, and yelled "Heil, Hitler!" Finally, the noise and excitement induced the skunk to leave the river. Perhaps, there should be no criticism of the Sudbury firemen beâ€" cause they wouldn‘t tackle the skunk.
