We then applied for the water power at Island Portage, approximately 76 â€" miles from the Mine, as compared, with a distance of about 62 miles from the Long Sault Rapids. A draft lease of the Island Portage power has now been settled with the Ontario Governâ€" ment and we are anticipating early favourable action thereon. As stated last year, until there is a satisfactory solution of the power situ ation, upon which the whole program of the contemplated extensions at the Mine depends, the Directors feel that any increase in the dividend must necessarily remain in abeyance, but shareholders may be assured that the matter will receive the earliest conâ€" sideration of the Directors when power situation has been cleared and the very large financial obligations provided for. argued before the Appellate Court which réserved judgement. At the risk of repetition we must aâ€" gain remind shareholders that the divi dends they receive from a Mining Co. should be treated, to at least fifty per cent. thereof, as a return of iCapitai, because every dividend paid represents Pres. of best opportunities so much ore taken from the Mine wliich there is no means of replacing.

He felt tua the South could ‘be shown the value and ‘benefit of such a highway.

Then the toursits com ing up through this country in turn would advertise its wonders and be attracted and attract others to investâ€" ments that would mean development expansions and progress. The beneâ€" fits to the trade of the South from such a highway might considered also. Dr. Doolittle hoped eventually to see this highway a part of a Doâ€" minion ‘highway running from ceast to coast in Canada.

A meeting of. the Timmins Board ot Trade is called for Monday evening, March 5th, commencing at 8p.m. in the Council ‘Chamber. There are a number of important matters to be up for discussion, and the attendance should be a large one. The Board of Trade made a good start for this year and with the support of the people generally may accomplish a great dehl. It is up to the citizens generally to show their interest and attention and one of the primary requisites for doâ€" ing this is attendance at Board of Trade meetings. Any citizen with an idea for the remedying of any disâ€" advantage or with a thought for the posstble betterment of the town should attend the Board of Trade meeting and pass along his ideas for the generâ€" that of a team from Porgquis Junction. Last year a team of wolf hounds was entered from the Junetionâ€"but thougb U L. Another entry made this week is they were undowbtedly speedy, they found the course unsuitable, the strip of snow shoe trail practically puiiing them out of the running, their siender legs being unequal to the going of this spot. This year with the course all along a roadway the same team would no douhbt make a better showing. It is not known, however, whether the wolf hounds will be enterd again, but it is practically assured that Porquis Junetion will ‘be represented by one or more teams.
