Police Still Drag Lake For South Porcupine Man Mr. George Helmer aged 61, is reâ€" ported missing since Saturday afterâ€" noon when he was last seen at Munâ€" roe Lake sixteen miles ast of Mathâ€" eson where he bhad gone on a fishing trip. Mr. John Hodgins of S. Porcupine who had left with Mr. Helmer on Thursday for trout fishing at this lake returned on Friday leaving Mr Heimer alone in the tent cabin on the lake. When Hodgins accompanied by Harry Chevrier went back on Saturday evâ€" ening, they found no trace .of the elderly man. His provisions were unâ€" touched and h ewas not around. Later they discovered his éanoe, overturned on . the lake. They searched the surroundings all night, thinking that he might have made a landnig somewhere round the lake., but found no trace. They returned home on Sunday with the news and immediately*search parties, including the South Porcuâ€" pins? Firemen, and hosts <o0f volunâ€" teer friends went to Munroe Lake and to date (Tuesday) no sign of Mr. Helâ€" mer has been found. The supposition is strongly that he has drowned in the lake which is larged and deeper than Porcupine lake and being primitive bush country,‘ has dead trees and other slash ing the bottom, making it extremely difficult to drag.
