He was rescued from the river by Wm. Novarin and a friend who were passing down the river in a canoe. He was hurried to the Hospital where it was found that _ he was seriously beaten up and sufâ€" P CC e fering from concussion of the brain. _In a few hours he regained conâ€" sciousness and told his story. _ Acâ€" eording to his gccount he met Salvaâ€" . «dlor who suggested that they resume former friendly relations and drop all recent disagreements. Salvador, ‘ as the stepfather of the young lady La married by Gentile some months ago, : recently urged three or more criminâ€" ~al cases against Gentile on the . grounds that the girl‘s age was misâ€" represented at the time of the marâ€" riage. One of the charges was for perjury and the next two for abducâ€" â€" tion and obtaining a marriage license a» under false pretences. On all three E. A. Gentile, of the T. N. O. train staff is in the hospital suffering from concussion of the brain and â€"other injuries, and Tony Salvador of the Empire Hotel is in the station cells awaiting preliminary tmal on a ‘charge of attempted murder, as a reâ€" sult of serious trouble down the Rivâ€" er yesterday afternoon. Gentile was badly beaten about the head and body, the injuries suggesting the Recently there have been many complaints about animais, such as horses, cows, calves, and whatâ€"not, running at large on the streets, esâ€" pecially at night, and destroying garâ€" dens, lawns, etc. In these days, when greater production is so necessary and so patriotic, the destruction of gardâ€" ens is particularly to be regretted, and when the injury being done was ealled to the attention of the police they promised to do all possible to remedy the trouble. Last week Actâ€" ing Chief Sally in a few hours roundâ€" ed up a bunch of horses and other animals illegally on the streets. Unâ€" fortunately, however, no one could, or would, say that these particular animals had done this or that particâ€" ular piece of damage, so under the law as it stands nothing could be done except to put the stray animals in pound. Eight horses and cows and one calf were so impounded on Saturday, and after the owner had released the calf the little cow junior got back on the street again and was impomded ‘a second time. _ The poundage fee is $1.00 per animal, with extra cost for food and care, so the owners of stray animals will find it, unprofitable to continue to allow m to roam the streets, as has been a frequent plan recently. The imâ€" posing ct poundage fees, however, will not pay owners of gardens for loss through the depredations of stray animals, nor will it perhaps induce owners of cows, horses, etc., to keep their animals off the roads at nights. Good citizenship must help out in this matter. No good citizen will allow his snimals to cause serious annoyâ€" ance or damage to his fellowâ€"citizens. With the matter now fully before their rttention good citizens will see to the preventing of any further losâ€" ses or damage along this line, and those who lack in the qualities of deâ€" eent citizenship must be taught in some manner or another to consider the rights of others.

Gentile says he agâ€" reed to the proffered friendship and accompanied by two other Italians they went down to the river. After going down the river two or three miles, Salvador suggested a friendly swim, according to the injured man. Gentile saiys he was about undressed when he was hit or kicked from beâ€" hind, and then knocked into the river. Eventually he lost consciousness, but reviving and attempting to call for help he was again assaulted and agâ€" ain was rendered unconscious. Later, the passing canoe rescued him from a watery grave, but Salvador had left. Gentile believes there was a * frameâ€" up‘‘ to do away with him and so he wants to press the charge of attemptâ€" ed murder. As soon as the police were notified of the occurrence prompt action was taken. _ Acting ‘Chief Sally and Constable Greer made a hurried search for Salvador, the latter being arrested not far from his house by Constable Greer. Salvador was lodged in the cells to await a hearing before Magistrate Atkinson on Thursday, till which time no bail will be granted. Much Staking Already Done, and Great Storics Told of Wealth Tiscussed. "I did not believe there were so many prospectors left in the counâ€" try,‘‘ said an oldâ€"timer speaking of the rush into the Twin Falls district after the report of the accidental disâ€" covery of gold there by workmen emâ€" ployed by the Abitibi Power Paper Co. The first discovery is said to be at lot 7, Concession3, Rickard Townâ€" ship, and the first man to stake only registered two claims. He was folâ€" lowed by scores of others this week, prospectors from Cobalt and the Porâ€" cupine © hurrying in. About fifty claims are already said to be staked up to this moment, and the work is just nicely starting. Three veins are now said to be discovered, two of therm much richer than the first. The oldâ€"timer quoted above is of the opinion that the Twin Falls gold ridge is a continuance of the one on which the Croesus is situated. Some of the stories told about the finds could not be believed otherwise, and may not be altogether credited even then. One tale has it that one vein is over 20 feet wide and so rich that it runs consistently nearer thousands than hundreds of dollars to the ton. There is also other stories about pocâ€" kets of solid gold, ete. The general opinion, however, is that an unusually rich find has been made and that a world sensation would be created in more normal times by the discovery.

Workmen Said to Have Uncovered Spectacular Vein. While cleaning up brush and deb-: ris for the Abitibi Power and Paper Co. at Twin Falls last week, two Swedes are reported to have uncovâ€" ere%‘an unusually promising gold find in Rickard Township, about three miles east of Twin Falls, on the Abâ€" itibi River. The find is supposed to be a very rich one. One prospector: «*Why, the gold is sticking out of the quartz in pieces as big as the end of your thumb, and the ore is wellâ€" sprinkled with that kind of â€"gold."‘ The vein thus uncovered is reported as from four to twenty feet wide. It is understood that a large number of prospectors have rushed in from Coâ€" balt and Haileybury, while two or three left here yesterday for the new field. There are only a few prospecâ€" ‘tors left in this Camp, or there might be another oldâ€"time rush. NEAR TWIN FALLS LARGE ORE BODY UNGOVERED BY . PORCUPINE PREMIER Old Standard Mine Making Good. Small Mill Contemplated. One of the most interesting develâ€" opments of the past year has been the finding of a large commerecial ore body on the old Standard mine in Deloro Township, just south of the Dome Lake. This property was takâ€" en over by Boston and New York inâ€" terests a little over a year ago, and since that time has been known as the Porcupine Premier. _ Under its new ownership it has been actively developed for over a year. It is stated on good authority that the Company has encountered at the 200â€" foot level in a crosscut running south from the No. 1 shaft an ore body nearly 60 feet wide and all running commercial ore. Exact figures reâ€" garding the value of this ore are not available, but it is known that the values run from $3 to $19.50 in gold to the ton. The Poreupine Premier is well eqâ€" ulppea with a good raining plant, and it is understood that negotiations are now under way for the erectlon of a small mill. Plans are said to be under way for the consolidating of the Huntonâ€" Kirkland and Orr properties at Kirkâ€" land Lake. Both are promising proâ€" perties. According to the report of the Teckâ€"Hughes mine for June 1260 tons of ore of an average grade of $9.66 were treated. The tonnage, oOwWâ€" ing to the labor situation, was below previous months, but the grade was much higher, being over $2.50 per ton higher than millbeads for April or King‘s Printer performs veritable marvels in the issuing of Government printing in limited time under unâ€" limited difficulties. The fault rests chiefly with inadequate equipment for the handling of Government work, with the redâ€"tape methods in vogue, 2nd with the fact that so much time and effort are spent in the issuing of books and other printing that is but a duplication of previous publicaâ€" tions in other branches. "C" 064446444464 The Mining and Engineering Reeâ€" ord of Vancouver refers editorially in a recent issue to the delay by the B.C. Government in issuing reports of geologists, mining engineers, etc. This delay is so great that the reâ€" ports are usually of little .value to prospectors and investors. The same trouble is found in the issuing of maps, which are too often outâ€"ofâ€" date before they come from the press. The delays in this respect, unforâ€" tunately, are not confined to British Columbia. The same complaint might be reasonably made regarding Onâ€" tario and Dominion Government reâ€" ports and maps. The Mining and Engineering Record is inclined to lay the blame on the King‘s Printer, but this is not actually where the fault rests.

A. M. Bilsky, managing director of the Apex Mining Co., was in Camp last week, and it is understood that arrangements have been made for diaâ€" mond drilling the property adjoining the Davidson Gold Mines in â€" North Tisdale. This property is now under option to the Apex Co. ~Diamond drilling will be done with the idea of picking up the extension of the main Davidson vein, which is believed to cross the property. It is also underâ€" stood that the Apex Co. have their eye on another property in the Camp, which may be taken over in the near future. Mr. Bilsky states that an extensive diamond drilling ecampaign is contemplated. Arrangements are about completed for the reâ€"opening of the Keora mine in North Whitney. A.J. Brandt, the manager, is now in Toronto for the purpose of purchasing a complete mining plant for the property. This property was very thoroughly diaâ€" mondâ€" drilled during the early part of the year, and it is understood that large ore bodies have been proven up. The property was always regarded very favorably in the Camp, but hereâ€" tofore it was never aggressively deâ€" veloped. Teckâ€"Hughes is being continued to the 600â€"foot level. â€"Contracts were recently let for exâ€" tensive diamondâ€"drilling‘ operations at the Hayden, about four miles south of Timmins. This property has been continuously developed for the past two years and indications are very favorable for it proving a large lowâ€"grade ore mine like the Dome. It is understood that recent examinaâ€" tions and reports by a wellâ€"known geologist have been very favorable and that the Company have plans for grade ore, and this form of mining finds the pinch of high costs a special burden. If these lowâ€"grade Rand mines elose it will mean 7 million ounces less of gold annually for exâ€" port. In addition whole towns along the Rand depend upon those mines for existence. The mine owners have reâ€" cently brought these facts to the notice of the workers who have been asking high rates of pay. a very large amount or development in the immediate future. There are said to be grave fears that the increasing costs of mining supplies will lead to the closing of many of the Rand mines. _ These South African mines produce a lowâ€" Tisdale Council Purchases $1450 Chemical Fire Engine The regular meeting of the Tisdale Township Council was held in the Council Chambers, South Poreupine on Saturday evening, with all the Councillors present and Acting Reeve D.

The Council, after the matâ€" ter of the fire hall had been discusâ€" sed, decided to offer $60.:00 for Lot 57, Plan M.2T, and if the company could not see their way to accept this the Council would station the fire equipment on Rochester Townsite.

McINTVRE T0 OIAMOND DRIL ThE PLENAUREM Following their aggressive policy of mining, â€" the _ Melntyreâ€"Poreupine Mines have taken over the Plenaurâ€" um immediately to the east, and conâ€" tracts are understood to be let with two contractors for the diamond drilling of this property. Some very high grade gold ore was taken out of the Plenaurum by the former manageâ€" ment, and it is believed by local minâ€" ing men that there is no question but that McIntyre ore bodies continue through the Jupiter on east into the Plenaurum. As a result of this new acquisition, and of the development work planned, the Mclntyre becomes a greater gold mine than ever. Mining operations in Munro Townâ€" ship this summer are being pushed with greater vigor than ever. Minâ€" ing men report the influx of a lot of new capital. This district is now reâ€" ferred to in Toronto as ‘‘the Millionâ€" aires‘ Camp,‘‘ because of the standâ€" ing of the men interested in the mines. Besides the Croesus, which continues to produce the highest grade ore in Northern Ontario, active minâ€" ing operations are hbeing pushed ou the Burtonâ€"Munro mines, where the shaft is now down 200 feet on their rich vein. Development work has also been taken up again on the Colâ€" ossus. It is also understood that new mining interests have acquired the Auram and extensive operations are planned for that property. Accordâ€" ing to reports a deal has recently been made by Toronto and Montreal interests to take over the mining rights under the lake 1mmediately adâ€" joining the Croesus, and this proâ€" perty is to be diamond drilled.

Tho Three Nations and La P@lmâ€" adjoin each other. The Three Nations mino is equipped with a good mining plant and a tenâ€"stamp mill, and the â€" conâ€" solidation of the two properties would be a logical move for the economical development of both mines. It is to be hoped that Mr. Lang will be sucâ€" cessful in his efforts, as both properâ€" ties gave great promise in the early days, and it is believed by many that with proper development another large mine could be opened in that section of the Camp, May Mean Big Mine .for North Whitney. Mr. Clarence R. Pope, of New York City, arrived in Camp last week and arranged for the immediate resumpâ€" tionâ€" of operations on the Tommy Burns property in Shaw Township. This property is equipped with â€" a small mining plant, including a scomâ€" pressor and small mill, placed on the property by former iessors who wereo developing the rich hbighâ€"grade vein on one of the claims. Mr. Popse states, however, that the immedigato development work will be confined to opening up the large lowâ€"grade @eâ€" posit on the property, very dittle atâ€" tention being paid to the highâ€"grade, the e5ject being to develop a big tonâ€" nage. ‘The lowâ€"grade ore body is abâ€" out three thousand feet long and will average twentyâ€"five feet in width, Beâ€" sides being open eut on the surface, by means of crossâ€"cutting, it will be extensively diamondâ€"drilled â€"to depth. The property is about nino miles south east of Porcupine, and is reached in the summer by water route down Night Hawk Lake from « Conâ€" ngught ‘Station.
