This is a question which Wallace McLean seeks to answer in the May number of The Busy Man's Magazine. He writes, "Judging from the lavish way huge nuggets and slabs of silver have been scattered over the surface of the earth at Cobalt one would conclude that there must be a great store house of the precious metal in the immediate vicinity. That there is such a store- house is generally admitted and that it must be•below the earth is also ad- mitted. So far the lowest depth reached is in the neighborhood of 300 feet, but of this the lower 200 feet was made by a diamond drill. This depth has been reached on the property of the Larose Mining Co. and the pro- prietors report that as depth is reach- ed the ore bodies increase in quantity and richness. It will take several years to ascertain what the rocks of Cobalt really contain. Up to date the diagnosis is most favorable and it is firmly believed that Cobalt will not only prove its claim to possessing the richest silver ore in the world, but also to possessing the greatest and richest silver mines in the world."

Arthur secured leis diploma at the Wingham Business College, last New Year, and this is his first situa- tion ; we wish hint every success. The auxiliary of the Woman's Mis- sionary society of the Whitechurch Methodist Church will celebrate the Silver anniversary of the society at the parsonage, on Friday, May 4th, at 2.30 p. 111. An interesting program will be rendered, after which refresh- ments will be served. A silver offer- ing will be taken to help on the good work of the society. A very pleasant time is anticipated. Mach has been said in the press, and out of it, about the recent calamity at San Francisco and at Vesuvius. The writer has heard the remark that it was because of the wickedness of the people that these things were allowed to happen. Whatever the cause may have been, God has some wise purpose rn allowing those things to happen. One thing is certain, that those con- vulsions of nature show the extreme littleness of man and his so-called "mighty works." They also remind us of the words of the Lord, "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." We do not think it is our business to say that those people were more wick- ed than anyone else in the U. S., or Europe, and we are again reminded of the words of our Lord—"Judge not that ye be not judged." The Undersigned will keep for Her - vice on his premises, Lots 11.12, Con. 1, Turnberry (•Wingham.

Ask you druggist. A fanner named Gray near Port Elgin finished seeding April 18th. He puts in 40 acres of grain. In real need, American sympathy is active and liberal. New York has passed the $2,000,000 mark, and the country at large has contributed more than $15,000,000 in the rush offer aid to the victims of the California dis- aster. Contributions continue to pour in and it now appears that the national fund will reach $20,000,000, and New York city's high water mark in the relief will reach nearly $3,000,- 000, It pours the oil of life into your sy- stem. It warms you up and starts the life blood circulating. That's what Hollister's Rocky Mountain does. 355e, Tea or Tablets. Ask your druggist. If a merchant has plenty of goods to sell and wishes to dispose of them, there is no better or quicker way of doing so, than to advertise them in the Advance. There was a time, when customers would go from store to store looking for what they want- ed, Now, they are on the look -out for the wide-awake merchant who ad- vertises. There are several reasons for this ; one is that the merchant who advertises, will sell more goods, and his stock is most likely to be fresh and good, because often renewed. THE WINGHAM • ADVANCE — T1IURSDAY, Wroxeter. Mrs. Calder of Hamilton was a visi- tor in Wroxeter lately. Waldo Miller is now assisting Mr, Crosby Leckie, baker, W'ingllaln. 'I`he planing mill started up again last week, with the prospect of a good season's work. Miss Tena Rae attended the mar- riage of a cousin, Miss Baxter in To- ronto, last week. Mrs. John Hartley of Blyth made a round aanong her old neighbors and acquaintances last week. Owing to the sickness of John .R. Gibson, our sawmill has been closed down since the 2lth nit. 11Ir, Arch. Moffatt was on the sick list for a few days last week, but is again in the shop feeling all right. Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Black and Miss Agnes were in Loudon last week, ow- ing to the death of Mr. Murdock Mc- Lennan, We regret to hear of the serious ill- ness of Mrs. Bert. Mutch, who is now at her father-in-law's, in Gorrie ; we hope soon to hear of her recovery. Dr. Mitchell of Toronto has com- menced the practice of his profession here, and in the 'Meantime has taken up his residence with Mrs. T. F. Mil- ler. BIRTHS.

We hear quite a few farmers are hold- ing back in anticipation of higher prices. SVe regret that Donald Pope was obliged to have a very fine cow of his destroyed last week ; it very unfor- tunately got hooked in the chest about 3 weeks ago, and its recovery was very doubtful. Work started last fall has been re- sumed on the building which Thomas Hemphill is having fitted up as a store and dwelling, which when finished, will add considerably to the appear- ance of our main street. Mr, John Gofton has now removed from his hotel property and has gone to live with his daughter, Mrs. An- drew Miller; the believe the premises just vacated are to be occupied by Mr. W. 0. Carrie, as an addition to his former hotel premises. Seeding is now well advanced in the neighborhood, indeed, quite a few re- port having finished. This has been a splendid season for spring work, but there is as yet but little growth, and farmers are wishing for rain, as the fall wheat does not look nearly as well as it did a fortnight ago. Mrs. F. V. Dickson left for Toronto last week to be present at the mar- riage of her brother, John James Gib- son of Barrie, youngest son of the late Alexander Gibson of this village, to Miss Maude Charlton, second daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Charlton of Toronto. The marriage took place on Monday afternoon last, in old St. Andrew's church, Toronto. At a meeting held on April 25th, it was decided to have the annual sports on July 1st as usual. A committee was appointed to make the necessary arrangements, and the feeling is, to have everything more attractive than ever before. The committee have al- ready entered into negotiation for the attendance of the Band of the 48th Highlanders, from Toronto, which if they succeed in getting, and they have every hope of doing so, will no doubt attract a very large crowd, •1 Salem. We are pleased to see Dan. McTa- vish able to be out for a drive, after his accident. Most of the farmers will be through seeding this week, if the weather keeps favorable. Mrs. J. Gallaher, who has been visit- ing her son, William, at Fordwich, re- turned home on Saturday last. Rev. Mr. Osterhout closed his series on the Lord's prayer last Sunday, and the choir furnished suitable music. We are sorry to relate the serious illness of Mr. Wm. Mines, sen., as he is suffering greatly from stomach trouble. Owing to the Sacramental services being held in Behnore next Sunday morning, there will be no service at Salem in the afternoon. Mrs. (Rev.) Osterhout left last week to visit friends in London, Chatham and other places. She was accom- panied by her sister-in-law, Miss Os- terhout, who has spent the winter months at the parsonage in Wroxeter. The funeral of the late Robert Wray of Belmore took place on Saturday last to the Gorrie cemetery. Mrs. Wiggins of Toronto and Mrs. Crane of Owen Sound, sisters of deceased, were present at the funeral. Pneumonia was the cause of his death. At the meeting which was held last Thursday night to re -open the Sunday School, the following officers were elected:—Supt.—Ezra Merkley ; See,— Ed. Palmer ; Organist—Miss M. Mc- Kersie. The teachers are—D. Weir, Wrn. Hays, J. Gemmill, H. Neil, Miss M, McKersie, Miss L. Bolt and Miss Ada Gallaher. The School will open on May 13th, East Wawanosh. This township lost one of its earliest settlers on Monday of last week, by the death of Mrs, Walter McGowan. Deceased had reached the age of 77 years, and had been a resident of this locality for over fifty years. She was a woman greatly respected, as was testified by the large number at her fnneral. She was a life-long member of Myth Presbyterian Church, Fier husband survives her, and her death few severs one of the feremaining links that bind the present to the peat, West Wawanosh.. Donnybrook Sunday School has opened again with R. IL Anderson as Superintendent, i1i'. J. G. Ward of Dungannon is still very ill ; his condition at titne of writing is causing anxiety, Crow fol'd's new block: in Dungannon will be a credit to the village, Mr, Crawford will have a double store for his drygoods and general business, and the remaining stand will be occu- pied by the Sterling Bank. According to a report which has been given wide civeulation in the press, a branch of the C. P. R. will reach Dougannon before long, coming by way of St. Marys through Seaforth and Clinton and thence through Dun- gannon on to Kincardine, from which point it will be extended to connect, with the C. P. R. lines in the north. The Dungannon creamery has changed bands, the Ayr Co., of Mon- treal, being the purchasers. These people are large exporters of butter and we understand their object in ac- quiring the creamery is to enable them to hire their butter put up in different methods at different seasons to suit the varying market conditions, instead of having to depend entirely upon butter purchased in the ordinary way. On Sunday, April 22nd, Mrs. Durn- in, widow of the late Edward Durnin, died at Crewe, where she had been living during the winter with her son William. Mrs. Durnin, who had reached the age of seventy-one years, was a native of Ireland, but came to Canada in her early years. For over half a century she resided at St. Helens, reproving to Dungannon a number of years ago. Her husband predeceased her four years. Seven sons and two daughters survive : Wil- liam and George of Crewe; Thos. E., of Dungannon ; James, of Dauphin, Man.; Robert and Abraham, of Saska- toon, Sask.; John, of Morden, Man.; and Mrs. Matthew Woods, West Wa- wanosh, and Mrs. John Woods, of Fergus. Mrs. Chas. Durnin of Dun- gannon, and George and Robt. Smith of West Wawanosh, are sister and brothers of the deceased. Mrs. Darn - in was a member of the Anglican Church and was a woman well known and highly respected throughout this district. Bluevale. The Quarterly meeting of the Blue - vale Circuit will be held next Sunday, May 6th, at Bluevale ; service at I0.30 a, all. Last week, we noted the death of Mrs. Hall, of Ethel, mother of Mrs. (Rev.) Baker of this village. The funeral took place on Thursday after- noon to Brussels cemetery. Deceased was in her 08th year, and been in fail- ing health for several months. Her Maiden name was Mary Ann Rose and her birthplace was in England. For nearly half a century, she proved a faithful helpmate to her now bereaved husband. Mr. and Mrs. Hall carne to the 8th con. of Grey township about 4 years after their marriage, buying a bush farm upon which they toiled, clearing it up and making for them- selves and family a most commodious and comfortable home. Nine years ago they left the faun and took pos- session of a fine brick house in this vil- lage where they since resided, their son William taking the farm. Besides Mr. Hall there are three sons (George, of Fargo, North Dakota ; Robert, of Cavalier, in the same state, and Wnr., here); and four daughters (Mrs. (Rev.) Geo. Baker, of Bluevale ; Mrs. Geo. Eckmier, of Jamestown ; Mrs. Munro, of Toronto, and Miss Lizzie at home) left to hold in loving memory a loving wife and an affectionate mother. Wm. Rose, of London, and Mrs. Bond, of Toronto, are brother and sister to the deceased. The doctors pronounced cancer of the stomach the cause of death. Mrs. Hall had been blessed with a splendid constitution and knew little of sickness in her experience. She was an industrious, intelligent Christian woman who enjoyed the friendship and esteem of many. Howick. Howick Council met in Fordwich on April 21st. The people of the Metho- dist Church, Gorrie, were granted the use of the Tp. Hall to hold service in, while they were having their church repaired, providing they furnish the light and pay the caretaker for his trouble. A few changes were made in the list of pathmasters and the By-law passed. The wire fence By-law was amended by adding the following clause :—That the person wanting a grant must level the side of the road. and remove all obstructions opposite where he expects to receive the grant; also that the Council do not grant any one person more than 70 rocas in any one year. A number of accounts were passed and the Council adjourned to meet on the third Saturday in May, in the Township Hall, Gorrie. Blyth, Mr, Thos. Pate and • family have moved out to the farm in Hullett, which be recently purchased from Mr, 13, 0. Laumdy. Tents have been ereeled at both shovels on the C. P, R. oonst•ruotlon for the workmen. There has been a large 'frle. r of workmen arrivingrn g here during the past week. The next meeting of Godet•ich trict Methodist church will be held at Blyth on May 15th and 18th. A pub. lie meeting will be held on the even- ing of the 15th, at which several ad. drones will be delivered, MAY 3, 1906 A Change In Business In Wingham. I 7. Important News From "The Bee Hive."
