For the quarter ending March 31st, tthe Mcintyre Mines show a remarkâ€" able increase in production, the tons milled being 42,294 against 33,558 for thes previous three months, and the average value per ton being $10.82 as against $10.62 for the previous quarter. In addition, it may be noted that the reserves of $2,000,000 anâ€" nounced a year ago for the Melntyre must be very materially increased by this time, for extensive developments on the Mcelntyre Extension and the Meintyre itself during the past few mouths have met with very gratifyâ€" ing results, while the Jupiter is also a producing mine of value. The conâ€" solidation of the properties has made the Mcelntyrs 2oreupine a specially good mining proposition. The gross production of the Mceâ€" Intyre Poreupine for March was $147,729, as against $143,801 for Febâ€" ruary and $145,297 for January. The increase over 1916 is still more markâ€" ed. Mr. W. G.

The new gas masks, for instance, were about a perfect proâ€" tection from the gas attacks, and in Im;my other lines the resource of the British and French more than offset the evil schemes of the enemy.
