Mr. MceCrea personally came to Timâ€" mins and spent some time here in perâ€" son@l attention to the matters in question.. He held a conference with a number of the mine workers and others, and affairs in~ general woere discussed with general satisfaction. Partly as a result of the conference, the mines and the men are working together in special ways to minimize the chances for accidents, and the acâ€" cident list will no doubt be reduced as a result. Neither the mines nor the men like any sort of acceidents and it only neéds both working wholeâ€" heartedly together to minimize the risks.

The fire brigade made speedy response, and did very effective work. The fire was under the floor at the front of the building and apparently originated from the furnace, probably through defect in the casing beneath the furnace. The floor had to be cut in a couple of places to get at the fire, but the blaze was extinguished before much damâ€" age was done, the loss being around $200.00. The worst feature of the blaze was the choking smoke. The smoke got through into the main part of the hotel, and many of the guests woke up to find smoke in their rooms, and they made very hurried exits, some only partially dressed and carryâ€" clothes and suiteases in their hands. The main building, however, was not endangered, no effects of the fire but the smoke at any time reaching the hotel proper. ‘The annex is used for sample rooms. «~ Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe W ay, of South Poreupine, left toâ€"day for Toronto for a vacation made nécessary by Mr. Way‘s health.
