Dr. Moore was the physician at the mine and reports that while the accident is a most painful one there probably will be no lasting or serious results. George Harris, superintendent at the McIntyre mine, is now in the General Hospital at Toronto sufferâ€" ing from injuries received last Fri- day at the mine. The adddcnt oc- curred in the cage while coming up from the 200 foot level. The dogs caught in the side of the shaft and some steel that was in the cage was thrown about, striking him on the legs. The good roads movement in the north country is commzncing to be felt in the cost of transportation, and it is figured that the money ex- pended on the Elk Lake-Gowg'anda road will lessen the cost of the freight haul by half. To date the twenty-seven miles of conduroy beâ€" tween the two towns has been 00v- ered with gravel and a motor car driven over the road. The car he- longs to the Miller Lake-O'Brien and will be retained for their own use.
