A number in town have heen more or less interested in the fact that their Victory Loan Bonds did not arrive as: expected on June Ist., and in fact have not yet been received. This week however, the bonds are beginning to reach here and likely by the 15th every uyer will have his bond. The delay, of course, has been due to the immense amount of elerical work involved in the issuing and adjustment of the $00,000 bonds bought. The delay has been altogether at Ottawa, and there is eonsiderable exeuse for it. _ The banks, however, are ready to pay the interest now on all coupon bonds, whether the bonds are to hand or not. The intorest on other bonds is forâ€" warded direct from Ottawa. SPECTACULAR SAMPLE FROM PIERCE CLAIMS.

In this connection Preâ€" sident DeLamar says:â€"‘‘Since the shutâ€"down of the mill on December Ist., 1917, only a limited amount of development work was done, for all the good men obtainable were put to vork sinking the main: ghaft, which had reached a depth of 1200 feet on May 20th., and should be completed carly in June to the desired depth of 1250 feet, when a lateral drift will be started to the dividing end line of the Dome and Dome Extension.
