‘Many Names Suggested For the Timmins Town Council evening, it being the SoCiAi IAnvening of the Young People‘s Club. After the opening exercises a short musical and literary programme was enjoyed by <all. Those taking part were:â€" Master Bobby Miner, solo; reading by Mr. Perry; then a talented solo by Mrs. W. G. Bowles; after which a humorous reading by Miss V. Snyâ€" der kept her listeners bubbling over with laughter; then Mr. Bain pleased as he always does, with his masterly playing of the violin. There was anâ€" series of laughs during two humorous sketches by Mr. Perry, and this was followed by a much apâ€" plauded orchestra selection by the Porgupine Juvenile Orchestra. After the programme, community ‘singing; was â€" wholeâ€"heartedly indulged in then a game similar to Volley Ball, only played with airâ€"flHed balloons, brought many a happy shout of hilarâ€" “‘gv from the merry participants. A anteous and delicious lunch brought a very pleasant evening to a close. One particularly noticeable feature was the presence of so many young men who entered with real zest into ‘oth music and games, thus making it seem that the lack of a Y.M.C.A. is not such a loss while an organizaâ€" tion like this exists to which all voung people are welcome, regardless of ereed or doctrine, Next Tuesday evening will be Literary Night, and an evening with Drummond is planned.

Nomination Day for the Town of Timmins will be next Monday, Nov. 30th. Nominations for the office of Mayor for 1926 will be received from 10 to 11 a.m., at the Town Hall, Fourth Avenue. For Councillors and Public School Trustees the nominaâ€" tions will be from 12 noon to 1 p.m., on the same day and at the same place If a poll is necessary, voting will be on Dec. 7th, the polling places being as follows:â€"Finlander Hall, Fourth Avenue, for voters whose names begin with the letters A. to F., inclusive; Council Chamber, Town Hall, for letâ€" ters G. to Mc.; Jewish Synagogue, Cedar street, for letters N. to Z. There is the usual discussion of ‘"‘slates.‘‘ Perhaps, the suggestion of picked ‘‘slates"‘‘ is more common than in the ordinary year, this being due in part to the fact that taxes seem high, and partly to the propaganda of some with special purposes to serve, or private grievances. It would appear, however, that people in general reâ€" cognize that if the town is to have imâ€" provements and modern conveniences, ete., the taxes will have to be faced. Also, there appears to be a general feeling among the more thoughtful that the various members of the Town Council have done well, and the Town would be making no mistake in reâ€" electing any of them willing to stand for office for another year. At least one. of the present Councillors, Mr. E. M. Wallingford has announced that he will not be a candidate for municipal office this year. He finds the work takes more of‘his time than he can afâ€" ford to give for the next year or so, on account of the expansion of his South Poreupine, Nov. 26th, 1925 Special to The Advance. Nomination Day Next Monday. Dr. J. A. MciInnis Denies Story of Retiring, and Will be a Candidate for Mayor Again. Paid ‘« ITHE PORCUPINE ADVANCE The following statement was issued by the Dome Mines Limited at the close of the meeting of the directors held yesterday at New York City, and was received over Arthur E. Moysey Co‘s private wire:â€"â€" CA series of diamond drill holes have been drilled from stations at the north side of the 14th level. In these a series of ore intersections have been met with in the sediments. It is impossible to state at present that all of these intersections can be joined up, but they indicate an ore zone of from 500 to 600 feet long. The width of the ore cannot be definitely stated at present, as the holes dip from the horizontal, but intersections have been met with varying from 10 feet to as high as 39 feet. _ This ore has been reached by a drift, and the ore drifted on for 160 feet; the averaging assay for 130 feet sampled is $8.86. _ This is the most important find made by the Dome_recently. While a large aâ€" mount of work has been earried on in the igneous, or greenstone rock, and some intersections have been met, some intersections have been met, these have not been of importance. The ore in the sedimentary formaâ€" tions, above referred to, lies 900 feet from the main shaft, and as the main shaft is not yet completed to the 16th level, this ore eannot be attacked beâ€" low the 14th level for some months to come, exceept by winzes. At this moment the Dome is not contempâ€" lating the acquisition of ary properâ€" ties in the South Poreupine district, nor have they any such in mind. The board calls attention to the fact that there has been some trifling increase in operating costs, which is entirely due to the aggressive development campaign which has been â€"carried on during the past few months, the cost of which must necessarily be charged to operations.‘"‘ Invitations have been issued by the Bachelors‘ Insomnia Club, for their first Sleepless Night, to be held in the High School, South Poreupine, on Thursday evening, December 3rd., The best music in the North is promised. A story was being cireulated to the effect that Dr. was dropping out of municipal affairs this year. This is denied by the Mayor. ‘! I will be a candidate again this year for Mayor,‘‘ Dr. MeInnis told The Adâ€" vance this week, adding that there were a number of matters in the inâ€" terests of the Town that he would like to complete before dropping munâ€" icipal affairs. On some of these quesâ€" tions considerable progress had been made and the Mayor believed they would be settled to the advantage of the Town. BACHELORS‘ INSOMNIA CLUB ~ FIRST SLEEPLESS NIGHT. IMPORTANT FBXD MADE â€" iT OOME MixES AfCENTL None of the suggested "‘slates"‘ have been definitely announced as yet. Their publication at this time would accordingly be unwarranted. Nominâ€" ation Day, however, will show whether various ‘‘slates‘‘ are to figure in this election. Statement Issued After Directors‘ Meeting on Wednesday. own business. _ Councillor Wallingâ€" ford has given generously of his time to municipal affairs during years past, and has served the Town faithfully and effectively. His withdrawal is a distinet loss to the Town. The Mayor and the other Town Councillors have been equally unselfish in giving of their time and talent for the Town. Probably, the ratepayers in general do not realize the amount of time and effort given by those in public office. A little thought on the matter will convince any reasonable person that to serve the public in â€" municipal affairs is to make a decided sacrifice for the public good. For this, the only reward seems to be a load of aâ€" buse, offset, perhaps, by the realizaâ€" tion of public service. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26th, 1925 CORNISH CRRISIMAS SOUlAl AkH DANGE The meeting of the St. Matthew‘s Social Club on Tuesday evening of this week was a very pleasant one.

Club held in the Oddfellow‘s Hall here, Visitor‘s Night was an outstandâ€" ing success in every way. From the start of the dancing at halfâ€"past nine last night until halfâ€"past one the Club lived up to its slormn of ‘*Always Something Doing‘‘ in a manner which reflected the greatest credit on the committee in charge of the evenâ€" ing‘s programme. This commuiiee consisted of Misses Birdie Hill and Nellie Studor, and Messrs R. Hoggarth and H. Shantz, and the varied and enjoyvable programme was the result of their endeavours. The meeting Wednesday evening will be the usual weekly dance. The members are requestd to attend as sharp on nine o‘clock as possible. The weekly dances of the A. 8. D. this season have been in every case outstanding sucesses, and if the memâ€" bers continue in the future to coâ€" operate with officers and executive of the Club as they have been doing so far this fall, this winter season should be one of the most successful in the history of the A.

Death was due to heart troubie. _ Last year one of the biggest feaâ€" tures of the Christmas season was the K. of C. Turkey Stag Party. It was a big event, greatly enjoyed by all, and the Salvation Army and the Ladies of Charity benefitted much fiâ€" nancially from its suceess. *‘ Will this year‘s Turkey Stag be as good as last?"" Mr. A. Laprairie was asked. "Sure,"‘ Lap replied, ‘‘it will beat it every way by a couple of laps."" This year the event is being held for the benefit of the Timmins Associated Charities Christmas baskets. The cause, accordingly, will be as good as last year. The event itself is going to be better, if that is possible. â€" With the experience from the other two successes the K. of C. committee is better prepared to handle a biggeor crowd and‘to provide heaps of enterâ€" tainment for all, not to mention the turkeys and the Dutch lunch. There will be a number of side splitting special novelties that will go over big. Further details of the programme planned will be announced in next issue. Visitor‘s Night is set aside at inâ€" tervals, generally once each month, when the members of the iClub are permitted to invite friends not eligible for membership to the weekly dance as guests of the Club.

Mr. Gauthier suggested that the Council pay a note for $460.00 given by his client to cover a grocery bil! for the sister and family. _ Council felt they could not do this, but agreed that it would take $75.00 to provide for the family of six, and it was deâ€" cided that an extra amount be granted to equalize the amount given to $75.00 per month for the whole period, This means an extra grant of $50.00 per month for the five months when only $25.00 was allowed, and $25.00 per month for the five months when $50 was given, or a total additional allowâ€" ance now of $375.00.

The Northern Fruit Co. letter said that the Company was the tenant in question and they had not touched the water service in any way, but that the service must have been turnâ€" ed off by the Town. The letter had a sting in a postscrlpt which said in effect that the premises were not suitable for hospital purposes.
