The Mayor and all the intelligent members of the Town Council are in an apologetic frame of mind regardâ€" ing the Council meeting on Monday.

What The Advance really did say was : *‘ Anâ€" other matter of general interest disâ€" cussed by the Council was the suggesâ€" tion made by Councillor Brazeau that some building permits had been given contrary to the town‘s building byâ€" So far as The Advance knows _yet tlhus as eorreect enough and does not misrepresent Councillor Brazeau‘s attitude. **You weren‘t Councillor Brazeau, **where did you wet your information ?"‘ ‘*Nons of your business,"" was the reply, * [ got my information from a reliable source and I am not here to beâ€"eatechised by you take any of your anpertinâ€" ence.""

The Poreupine Crown has ncotified many of its employees of the curtailâ€" mentâ€"of the staff on May Ist., when practically all but development work will be closed down. ‘The reason for this move is the one so painfully imâ€" pressed on gold camps recently,â€"thai with he high costs of materials, labor etc., it does not pay to handle anyâ€" thing: but the highest grade of ore, and that even the highest grade of ore could be eonsidered as more profitably dealt with if left until conditions are better. The fact that the price of gold remains the same while everyâ€" thing else goes soaring up and up places the ease in a nutshell. Those interested in the new silver ficld at Doherty would do well to seâ€" cure the services of Mr. Robt.

When he was in Timmins last week he was speaking of the Doâ€" herty field in superlatives. Doherty is going to be the richest silver camp in all this world or any other world, according to Mr. LeHeup. â€" He has everyv confidence in Dolherty,â€"and also a little stake there.
