Geclogical Report Of Cobalt Area A preliminary geological report which gives very exhaustive treat- ment to part of the old Cobalt min- ing area is now available for re- lease by the Ontario Department of Mines. The report, P. R. 1961 - 7, written by Dr. Robert Thomson, | the Department's resident geolog- ist in Cobalt, is the eighth of its _ kind, covering parts of the district, -which he has published within the last. few. months. area covered in the newest publication includes part of Cole- mah Township, Concession III; lots 1 to 3, and Gillies Limit, Blocks 1 and 2, as well as claims A48 to 58 and A88 to, 100. The report summarizes the more important geological features of the whole area and follows up with detailed descriptions of the mining properties in the sections under re- view. Aes thing resembling a disturbance. Early in the evening, before crowds started to collect, police in pairs 'were 'patrolling the main streets, and- the fire department personnel was spread strategically through the side streets. As the groups grew in size, look- ing for a leader, the police moved them -on; and: only once. did. the teenagers get.a chance to organ- ize their-snake dance. It lasted only long enough for their leader to be led home to bed. One stupid group of youngsters started a fire of tires on a side street near a tinder dry garage which was quickly brought under control. They were not caught in the act, which was lucky for them because arson is a really serious crime. Another bunch tossed tires in front of moving cars, just for the fun of hearing brakes go on. Their minds were not keen enough to vi- sualize just what could have hap- pened if the tire had flipped through a windshield. That was all except for the turn- ing on of a few hydrants, tossing of garbage on the street and the ex- ploding of a few firecrackers that some child had saved since May 24. As one teenager was heard to say, "This is no fun, let's go home and have a party." Whitewood and Armstrong had as much adult-traffic as would be there on a busy Friday night as adults turned out to see what their offspring would accomplish, in this jam an accident cccurred when a school girl and her tiny charge were bumped by a car while cross- ing the street. It is reported that no serious damage was done. One prominent citizen expressed an opinion that was echoed by many. "'I was glad to see the young people accept the situation, and re- turn to their homes."' "T am close enough to my own youth to realize that this annual demonstration is a small rebellion against the disciplines of home, church and school," he remarked "and as long as it was kept with- in reasonable limits no one ser- iously minded.' "But when the laughable shen- anigans started to include serious damage to property, complete de- fiance and dangerous _ pranks, then it-was time to draw the line. "T am glad," he concluded, "'that the young people accepted adult decision that they had gone too far and dispersed quietly and amiably."'

Magistrate W. S. Gardner said that 'hunting regulations, made primarily for the protection of an- imals, now give more attention to humans in view of the increasing number of hunting accidents. He found Felix Tremblay of Whitby and Dalton McLaren of North Cobalt on a joint charge of eareless discharge of firearms. They. were each. fined $150. and costs on this charge. A similar charge against Leander Tremblay Cobalt-Haile Starts Curlin The ladies of the Cobalt - Hailey- bury Curling Club held their first general meeting of the season on October 25. A rather full season of activity seems to be the order of the day -- the season will get off to a curling start on Friday, No- vember 10, with a pot luck supper, with mixed. curling to follow. Through- experience we know just how good those suppers can be, and the curling afterwards is "'just out of this world!" Let's have the whole club out! Remember its at 6:00 p.m.! > Mixed curling is really organiz- ed this season -- each Friday there will be two draws at 7:00 and 9:00 -- regular rinks will be drawn up and this will be run as a regular Club Competition, with prizes ac- cordingly. . d Frem here it looks as if there will be two regularly scheduled games a week, plus the mixed ybury Club on Nov. 10. games on Friday, leaving Saturday and Sunday open for various other games, play-offs, ete. The ladies will have one long competition before Christmas, in- sead of two as formerly -- this will run for eight or nine games. Immediately after the New Year, the Norma Herron Competition will be begun, so anyone not curling before Christmas and wishing to curl in it, please get your name in before Christmas! Otherwise you might just get left out! For your convenience in this, and also for any prospective curler, the follow- ing will take care of this for you: in Cobalt, Ruth Spencer at 4825; or Hildred Welch at- 4920; in Hailey- bury, Jean St. Louis at OS 2-3278; or Jean Peckover at OS 2-3739. Come on, guys and gals, let's see you at the Club Friday the 10th.

The three men were found guilty on the second change of carrying loaded gums in a powered boat and were fined $25 and $3 and had their guns confiscated. Lloyd Willard of North Cobalt, with a heavily bandaged hand told the court that he and two com- panions, Herb Long of North Co- balt and John Cochrane of New Liskeard. were hunting moose on the Montreal River, using a canoe. He said the canoe was about 30 feet off shore when they heard an outboard motor and then shooting. He didn't remember how many shots came close to their craft, but one struck his hand. He said that the shooting stopped when the eanoe turned broadside to the powerboat, He also said that he and Willard fired two shots to warn the other hunters and Long' waved his pad- dle to attract attention. Cpl. Hal Buttle of Haileybury Detachment of the Ontario Provin- cial Police read the statements from - Tremblay and' McLaren which said that they had been watching the moose crossing from the afterncon before. They thought the canoe and its occupants was a moose walking in the water near shore. They were defended by Counsel Dalton Dean, QC, who urged that the incident was an honest mis- take, Crown Attorney Black said that the men were guilty of gross negligence. _ Magistrate told the accused men that to a cetrain degree he regret- ted finding them guilty. "But you are fortunate not being here on a. manslaughter charge.' .He gave them until November 20 to pay their fines. _ ' At the same, court- George -Sid- ney, charged with. careless dis- change of firearms was granted a week's adjournment, Sidney was in a hunting accident which resulted in the death of Alfred Boucher of Cobalt. And a bench warrant was order- ed for Paul Patterson of Burling- ton who. will be brought to court to answer a charge which arose out of a shooting incildent near Englehart in which property dam- age is claimed. It is alleged that two cars stop- ped to allow the accused to shoot at a couple of partridge in a gully. . Pellets, it's claimed, struck. the windshield and radiator of one of the cars.
