There were three men riding down in one of the skips when the skip stopped, someâ€" thing apparently having gone wrong. From what can be gathered of the story of the accident, the cable conâ€" tinued to : pay out and suddenly the skip took a drop of several feet then stopped again. ‘The. three men, no doubt fearing that the skip might fall to the bottom with serious results for them, determined to eseape from the elevator. â€" When the skip was opâ€" posite one of the levels two of the men succeeded in getting out safely. Mr. James, however, was caught by the.skip. One leg was broken and the other broken and badly smashed Ho hm'ned to the HolNingesr Mines hOapl â€" where everything â€" possible ione for him.

The Fire Dept. has urged the purchase of the equipment as necessary in view of the rapid growth of the town. Timmins has aTways shown a readiness to proâ€" vide adequate fire protection equipâ€" ment, and from this readiness has bought "‘luck‘" in the matter of fires that is a regular proverb in this North Land. No doubt the thoughtful rateâ€" payers will again show their willingâ€" ness to pay a comparative little for a comparative lot of fire protection.
