Justice goes so fast and sure up in this country that one can hardly see the neces- sity of a. jail unless one looks on it. as a luxury. refuge from creditors or something to which the architect can point with pride. In compliance with the recent amendment to the Mines Act of On- tario from now on a prospector will have to nail a metal tag to his No. 1 post. With every mining claim re- corded' t‘he prospector is given his metal tag. 'I‘hese metal tags are three and a half inches by two inch- es in size with half inch numbers on them and the initial of the record- ing ollice in which they were filed. Two nail holes are driven in the tags before they leave the recording: of- iice and a three months time limit is given the prospector to attach the tags to his No. l post.

Today four mills are producing ap- proximately $68,000.00 every week. Two other mills are building. The Hollinger Mineâ€"The Hollinger mill is producing approximately $4,- 100.00 every twenty-four hours. Recent developments show that P. A.

Two townships have been thrown open for settlement and homestead- 91's are pouring in. There are two years’ ore reserve above the fifty foot level.

" George Gray. who one time hailed; from down around Princeton town“ was on the slab for the ore sorters ‘ and had everything working good; but the umpires. He was slugged‘ freely for extra bases, but the hitsg were not hunched and fell scattered! in the safe gardens. The Dome bunch ! all pl’ayed snappy,» aggressive ball,§ and Kelly receiving was the lies ’ seen on any of the grounds this year. In spots the Soubh Porcupine team played good ball, but the base run- ning and field work was so bad that it needed chloride of lime to disillu- sionize one of the smell. Stan Ellis was in the box for South Porcupine and walked five in the first inning and five runs were scored without a single safe one. It was his first. try-out this year. and with a little more control will un- doubtedly make good. ieorge Lake relieved him in the s‘ik’th. With a little more practice and team work South Porcupine can be made into a good team, for the material and nerve is all to the good. The line-up: Domeâ€"Kelly 0..

Steam Plant and Compressor Installed and Shaft Being Sunk to lllll-lt. level HUBHES PflflPEflTY SHIJWINB UP Will With the exception of the Crown (‘hartered the Hug-hes mine is the property that has the most develop- ment work done in Whitney. Since the steam plant and compressor was recently installed here the work is progressing: rapidly. the efforts of the management helm: at present conâ€" iined to putting: down the shaft an- other hundred feet. It is expected that the well. of cutting: a station at. the lSllâ€"foot level will he started within a week from now and a drift will he started to prove up the vein at that level. The vein shows a width of 36 feet at the lmlfioot level and the appearance and width of the shoot at the second level will prob- ably decide the future of the mine. The vein is now in view 'on the sur- face, at the 50-foot level where a station was cut and enough work done to penetrate the ore body and prove its width and at the 100-foot level. The appearance of several stringers of quartz in the shaft as far as it has at present been put down below the 100-foot level may have altered and that it will possi- blv be encountered at 160 feet much nearer the shaft than was the case at the second levelf on work at the mine being made to purchase its best effect in develop- ment accomplished and with a con. tinuance of the same policy". the preâ€" sent condition of the mine under- ground puts the property among those in Whitney that have a good r-hnnee of iwrioming producing mines.

VALUES BECOME GREATER AS MINES GO DEEPER At the McEnaney mine work is progressing in a most satisfactory manner and the management is more than pleased at the results now be- ing obtained. One of the veins being drifted on at the 300 foot level shows native gold in three faces and has widened out to over six feet. This vein avâ€" eraged only 33 inches on the 200 foot level and the strengthening and wid- ening out of this vein certainly looks encouraging for further and deeper mining and work not only for this property but for all other in the camp. At. the present time about fif- ty feet of drifting has so far been done and the grade of ore is running: higher than it did on the upper lev- els. The present vein system of the McE'naney mine can be said to be fairly well proved up at the 100 and 200 foot level and the work so far on the 300 foot leVel, which is to be proved up in the same manner,shows more encouraging results than al- most any work which has been pre- viously done.
