W. RINN PASSED AWAY TUESDAY MORNING The deepest sympathy will be extenâ€" ded to Mr. W . Rinn in the sad loss: sustained early Tuesday morning by. the death of his wife and infant child (the latter stillborn). Mrs. Rinn made many friends here during the three years she lived in town. She was a daughter of Mrs. E. Waterson, of North Bay, who was here on a visit at the time of ‘her daughter‘s death. The late Mrs Rinn had been for some months past, but the the death of this esteemed young woman came as a shock to all. Bervices were conâ€" ducted by Rev. J. D. Parks on Tuesâ€" day evening at the home in the J.. P McLaughlin block, Mr. Rinn being lthe manager of the Mceiaughlin stores here. A large number‘ _ of friends attended to pay their last sad marks of respect and sympathy. The reâ€" NS A.

Diamond drilling is under way at the Gold Reef, Smith, Travers Smith having the confract. Other work is also contempteted on the proâ€" perty. The results from the work earried on at Fort Matachewan Gold Mines have exceeded the expectations. The shaft is down 150 feet and has been in ore for 60 feet. Assays from the workings show good grade of comâ€" mercial ore. The underground workings of the Marigold property at Swastika «are being pumped out and work is expectâ€" ed to be resumed on this property at once. The Marigold was formerly known as the Lucky Cross, and the property is favorably viewed by old« time mining men and prospectors. Mr. R. T. Shillington was in the Camp last week looking over the diamond drilling at the Inspiration. When ‘he returned to Haileybury he took with him a piece of nicely minâ€" eralized core from the diamond drillâ€" ing. ‘The work of diamond drilling is being done near the little lake on the property. Rumor has it that the recent decline in Adanac stock was due to the putâ€" ting on the market of ‘a block of stock owned‘ by the late B. Cartwright. The late B. Cartwright owned one quarter of the Adanae stock at one time, but it is understool that a part of this was sold during his life time. At the time of his death it is said that he owned 497,000 sliares of the stock. The buildings of the Quéen of SBheba property at West Shiningtrée were destroyed by one of the bush fires in the district. None of the other mines suffered any loss, though the fires swept over much of the disâ€" trict. There was no loss of life reâ€" ported, despite the extent of the fires. ‘The clearances made by the progress of the bush fires will now be of great assistance of the prospectors in their work in the district. PRINCE OF WALES HERE EARLY IN SEPTEMBER Dr. Mclnnis, Mayor ‘of Timmins, was in North Bay last week in con» nection with the expected visit of H. R. H. the Prince of Wales to Timâ€" mins and the Poreupine Camp. It is expected now that the royal visitar and his party will be here early in September. ‘The party will spend several hours in the Camp, reaching here about 9 o‘clock and remaining until after noon. In addition to reâ€" viewing the Veterans of the Great War, seeing the town, ete., a visit will be paid to the Hollinger Mine, where the progress and processes for extractâ€" ing the gold from the ore will be viewed through their various stages. The Prince will come in by special train, and from here will likely go on to Kapuskasing and thence through to the West. An effort is being made by the Mayor of Iroquois Falls and others to ‘have the party visit the blo'; Abitibi Power Paper plant at Iroâ€" quois Falls. It is felt that being so close it would be a pity if the party missed the opportunity to inspect what is said to ‘be the largest pulp and sulphite plant on ‘the continent. Iroquois Falls would undouwbtedly be a point of interest for the royal party to visit and it is to hbe ‘hoped that an hour or two may be spared for such a visit. Up to the present, however, Troquois Falls has not yet been placed on the list of the places of eall for the royal party. In Timmins the Prince will be given a formal civie weleome. Tt is hoped that before whe visit, the Timmins Citizens‘ Band will be all ready to give a good line of musie for the occasion . Mr. Hayden, of the Hayden Mine, came to ‘the Camp last week for a visit to the property and to view conâ€" ditions in general in the Camps. The Davidson which started sinkâ€" ing:=the shaft from the 500 to the 700 foot level, is now down, to the 600 foot, with a very favorable outlook. It is expected that an announcement of importance will be made regarding the Davidson in the near future. Mining engineers from New York recently visited the C. P. R. district between Kingston and Renfrew and took samples of the potassic feldspar deposits. ‘Chemists are now engaged on these samples experimenting as to whether or not the sodium elements can be extracted for commereial use. In the meantime hopes are held out for extensive mining operations in the Kingston to Renfrew district. The Keora, north east of the Davidâ€" son, in Tisdale Township, is said to have located some very excellent ore through the diamond drilling camâ€" paign ecarried on there. It is also reported that there is now a deal on for the purchase of the Keora by new interests, the price offered being at a figure much above the present market price of the shares. o | * > A ".~> # { It is reported that Mr. J. Goldies McMillian, former mining inspector for this district, veeently returned from overseas, will shortly resume the duties of the office. His place has been filled in his absence by Mr. E. A . Collins, who left some months ago to take a good position «as Safety Engineer for a large private corporâ€" ation, and latterly by Mr. A. H. Brown, who took over the duties of the office some months ago. The aAccidental death through a blast at the Foster Mine, Cobalt, last week of Mr. F. A. ~MeDonald, was the first fatality in the silver mipes in Cobalt since 1917. Not far from 2700 men have been steadily employed in. the silver mines during the pest two years, and one fatality in that time makes a pretty good record. The coroner‘s jury decided that the late F. A. McDonald came to his death , absentâ€"mindedness. He knew of the expected blast and even warned others, but apparently forgot and walked into the stope ‘himâ€" self just before the shot went off. He died practically on the instant andâ€" the body was badly mangied and torn . The late F. A: McDonald was a native o2 Nova Sceotia, but had mined for several years in the Poreupine and Coba‘!t eamps and was weliâ€"known throughtoat the North Land. â€"A wife and family eurvive hinr and io them much sy mrpathy will be extended in t'hpir bercavement. TOWn TAX RATE WiLL BF 36 MILLS #0R THIS YEAR Grant to Band Deferred Progress On Sewers Waterworks Construc tion Other Town Council Business At the regular meetingâ€" of the Town Council on Monday .evening, Councilâ€" lor E. L. Longmore, figuring on the estimates for the year‘s expenditures, outlined the necessary tax rateof the town for the year. For debentures and general rate, 17 mills will be nee essary and for Public School rate 19 mills, while Separate Sehool rate will be 20 mills. ‘This means that the total tax rate for Public School Supâ€" porters will be 36 mills and for Sepâ€" arate School â€" supporters 37 mills. Last. year the rate was 30 mills for Public School supporters. Mr. Long-] more explained that the school rates were entirely outside of the ('untml of the Council.> The school ho ards simply notified the Council of the1 amounts they would require and acâ€" cording to the Jaw the Council was required to collect the necessary amâ€" ounts to meet the requisitions of the school boards. Owing to various conditions and cireumstances the school boards this year found it necesâ€" sary to ask larger amounts than last year. â€" ‘The rate this year, however, had been kept down for the general fund and for debentures and the total rate accordingly was only one mill in advance of last year, though considâ€" erable public works were planned to be done this year. The CouncH supâ€" ported the figures as presented by Mr. Longmore and a byâ€"law will be passed at next Council meeting to fix the rate at the figures quoted. This byâ€"law will also mention the time for payâ€" ment of taxes and the penalties for nonâ€"payment on time. en on wl w 2 C TWV 0 W# 2 1 OO §fr 2 * Mayor occeupied the chair at the meeting Monday night, and there were Councillors Fogg, Longmore Newton, DeFeu and Brazâ€" eau. A byâ€"law appointi Messrs. Sutâ€" cliffe Neelands as lown Engineers in charge of the construction of the waterworks extensions and sewerage system was duly passed, the engineers to receive 8 per cent of the contract price as their fees, this percentage to cover all the work done by the enâ€" gineers already this year on plans, specifications ete., Further progress was made in the matter of the sewoerâ€" age and waterworks extensions conâ€" struction, the required formal byâ€"laws regarding the work being duly passed by Council and authority given for the signing of the necessary contract with Mr. Leo Mascioli to permit of the immediate commencement of the work. The Council unanimously passed a resolution expressing the deep appreâ€" ciation felt for the noble services of Sister Gregory who was in charge of the hospital work at the time of the Influenza epidemic, and the Clerk was instructed to procure, some suitable gsift to be given as a token of the town‘s. oratltudc for the services so unselhshly given. The other nurses and Sisters who had given such timely ind unselfish service had all been suitâ€" ably recognized by the Council, and it was felt that Sister Gregory‘s great services also should ‘be formally apâ€" proved . The matter of the chlorination plant was again before the Council. It was pointed out, however, that at the present time, no definite informaâ€" tion was available as to the size necesâ€" sary for this expensive equipment, so further action was deferred for the present. Little Girl Apparently Buried in Trench and Dug up By Dogs Another gruesome discovery was made in Moneta on Friday evening ANOTHER DEAD INFANT‘S BOOY FOUND 1N MONETA last when the dead body of an infant was found near the shaft of the Monâ€" eta mine. The body had been apparâ€" ently buried in trench, though not eovered to much depth. Then dogs had evidently came along _ and scratched away the earth, leaving the body partly exposed.~ The body was badly decomposed when found, and there was little clothing on the poor infant .. The police were notified and took charge of the remains an inquest being called ‘here on Monday afterâ€" noon. â€" After viewing the body the coroner‘s jury brought in a verdict to the effect that the child came to its death through the negligence of some person or persons now, unâ€" known. Mr. R. Allan was the foreâ€" man of the jury and took an unâ€" usual®y keen interest in the proceedâ€" ings. _ There were practically no clues to suggest the parentage of the child or to lead to the finding of the person or persons responsible for the death of the child or for its illegal burial. ‘The police, however, are earnestly at work on the case, and with Officer R. Allen specially interâ€" ested the eventual discovery of the guiltyâ€"may be looked for. The Body was that of a little girl, some days old apparently, perhaps as old as two weeks,.~ As near as may be surmised the body had been buried two weeks or perhaps longer than that. This is the second infant‘s . dead body to be found inside of six months in Moneta, and, to use a common exâ€" pression this is two too many. In a vacant ‘house in Moneta on February 14th this year the dead body of an infant child was found, and a young woman named Mary Narlock is now awaiting trial at North Bay, charged |with murder in connection with the death of this child of which the police believe she was the mother.

McCHESNEY BADLY BURNED WITH GASOLINE Mrs. Sam MeChesney was badly burned by gasoline on Monday mornâ€" ing through an unfortunate accident, but is now making! good progress to recovery. One of the sons of the house had emptied the tank of ‘his motor boat and brought the gasoline in a pail into the house, leaving it near the water pail. While getting the breakfast ready in the morning Mrs, McChesney mistook this pail for the water pail and taking a dipâ€" perful from it poured it into the tea kettle. Some of the gasoline fell on the stove and ignited, with the result that the flames soon enveloped Mrs. MceChesney, Mr. McChesney fortunâ€" ately was near and a‘most immediateâ€" ly had the blaze ev‘inguished by the prompt use of some water nearby. Mrs. McChesney, however, was badly burned about the chest. arms and legs, but now under skilled medical attenâ€" tion she is making satisfactory proâ€" gress to recovery. Mr. and Mrs Robt Udal came to the Camp last night and were given hearty ‘weleome ~home by many friends. Mr. Udal went oversess with the Becond Pioneers and has
