HO [LINGER TOWNSHIP IS OPEN FOR HOMESTEADING The 'throwing open of the town- ship of Mountjoy to homestending is a very wise step on the part of the Ontario Governinent. lt way be ob- jected that other townships, nu'ahly Jessop, Jamieson and )lucdi,zz'niid, all very little staked and rich in good clay land might have gone with it, but Mountjoy is good for a com- mencement.

On Nday the visitors left the car where they had slept over night and paid a visit to the mines. 'l‘hey were con- ducted over the workings by Manag- er E. H. York and L. P. Bastien, after which the party visited the Hollinger and other properties in the neighborhood. To some of them it was their first visit to the camp and what they saw at their own mine made a very favorable impression on them. besides the rich showings they saw at the Hughes mines the party were permitted to see some very fine samples at the other mines they viâ€" sited. The visitors left on Saturday morning. having' spent. a most enjoy- ahle time and seemed highly satisfied with the I-l‘ughes mines and the bright outlook they saw for the camp in general.

At the 100-foot level in che main shaft crosscutting has gone 10 feet each way. and to the south, the No. 2 vein has. been cut, showing {our feet of quartz and schist; with free gold all across. It is estimated that it will be necessary to crosscut only ‘25 feet to the south to intercept all five veins. so that intending settlers will havo to look for location to the west.

Pupils who delay at- tending school after it has re-opened will not be allowed their promotion as new classes must be started to- gather. The Dome company alone is now in a position to give out authoritative figures on production, but largely, owing to the deliberate attempt of interested speculators to draw wrong deductions from incomplete data, they refuse to do so. Though no re- cord can be obtained, the Dome is at the present, time shipping bullion at regular intervals, and the mill is treating 300 tons of are every 24 hours seven days in the week. In the fullness of time no doubt-the man- agement will give out figures which will place the Porcupine camp on a stable basis. In the meantime it is only possible to conjecture with what information is availabe No definite figures are as yet avail- able as to the production of the Por- (-upine camp today, but making al- lowance for all interruptions of prac- tise, owing to the necessity of mak- ing adjustments, it. is certain that the four mills now working are earn- im,r between $40,000 and $50,000 per week.

I] The novel practice, for this camp, of dispensing with stamps in favor of rolls and ball and pechles mills seems destined to be crowned with success. As the first cost of the plant is not more than $35,000, it is now seen that -a company need not necessarily have a fortune to enter the produc- ing stage. Regular practise at the Vipond has demonstrated that if it were the intention to crowd the min, 125 tons per day could be put through. With the stoppage made necessary for the readjustments al- ways to he made in a new mill, the Vipond should treat at, least 72") tons per day this present month. and of course the average of their ore will he more than $10 per ton.

The weather was favorablefiho program and plan of action we" ma- tured. and not a hitch or set-hack occurred to mar the pleasures of the day. For all of which the commit- tee of arrangements are entitled to and are revipients of the highest (-nmmendation. The first game of the Porcupine League. series was started on Thurs- day last and was postponed on acâ€" munt of rain in the second innings, South Porcupine being in the lead by the score of 2 to 0. on the sale of the La Rose mine by the defendants te E. P. Earle, Col. W. B. Thompson and their associ- ates in New York, in which tranac- tion the plaintiff says he noted as a broker or agent of the owners of the La Rose. John McMnrtin. who was on the stand hofore the adjournment, swore that. Mr. Fasken acted not as an agent. but as a legal adviser, and that be accompanied the Vendors of the property to New York entirely in that capacity, and bhat fior this purpose the regular legaladvisor of the syndicate was not employed.

Four baseball teams are to cempete for a silver cup; there will be canoe racing, a 100 yard foot race, throw- ing the sledge, putting the shot, swimming races and refreshments ga- lore. Prizes will, of course, be given in all the competitive sports, and n0- thing will be omitted to make the calibre. The morning game appeared to be a burlesque for one innings, then turned into the most exciting game of the series.
