It was understood that the prof@ters were prépared to close their option at a much shorter time period than had at first been expected, .and this was the reason for holding the special meeting at this time. | l As a sequel to the above The New Liskeard Speaker last week had the following :â€" si21110iis tC T0 GeT in on COoâ€" balt silver camp were residents of New Liskeard, the farming centre of the North. »They â€"financed Hudson Bay Mine and it paid them 25,000 per cent. on the par value of the stock, though for the most part it only cost them 10 or 15 cents a share. d. Horne, New Liskeard, found the Horne, now Noranda‘s principal holdâ€" ing. He was financed by New Lisâ€" keard people. This is the first venâ€" ture in Quebec, and those who backâ€" ed Horne could, if they wanted to make profits toâ€"day, sell out at an advance of 26,000 per cent. on their original investment.‘‘ ‘ NEW LISKEARE PFOPLE AGCAIN 1N on crouno Make Big Thing From Their Eearly Interest in the New Rouyn Gold Camp In a recent issue of The Financial Post, of Toronto, there appeared the following paragraph:â€" _ i ‘*Among the first to get in on Coâ€" Mrs. W.

Watch for the announcement of The Mail and Empire ‘‘Bâ€"Word‘‘ Picture Puzzle Game in this paper next week. Many people put things off and forget them. The wise ones and the successful ones are the ones who have a loudspeaker set up so they can hear OQOpportunity‘s footsteps clear down the next block. The result is that Mrs. Z., who knows what she wants and intends to get it, will get $2,000 for vacation this years And Mr. A. and Mr. S. will say ‘*‘Wasn‘t she lucky?"‘ ‘‘Now why didn‘t we think of that?""‘ Or ‘*I had the same chance. But I didn‘t try it.‘" Mr. A. and Mr. 8. mhay miss it. Probably they will. They will notice by the paper that Douglas Fairbank‘s new picture is in town, or they will have a bridge game, or some friends will drop in, or the snow outside will lure them from the fireside. Happinesss is worth working for. The Toronto Mail and Empire, knoyâ€" ing that, puts happiness within your grasp, in, announcing a recordâ€"breakâ€" ing prize game, a hlstory-makmg vacation prize division, in which there is no cost to you, no investment from you required, no pledge or promise or obligation on your part. And yet the fact of the matter is that hundreds and thousands of men and women and children who want or need moneyâ€"who have dreamed of travel, of buying automobiles, or homes, or gay new clothess, or librarâ€" ies; who have longed for a chance to complete an edutation, or start in business for‘ themselves: greater opâ€" portunityâ€"will not share in that great preâ€"Easter gift of $9,000. The reason is a mystery old as the ages. Mr. A., on the corner of Y Street who needs money, sees a chance to make money, and goes and makes it. Mr. B., who lives just around the corner, who needs money twiee as badly as Mr. A., sees the same chance, says ‘‘How interesting‘‘â€"and goes to the movies.

This expenditure will include the cost of power development at Smoky Falls, some sixty miles from Kapuskasing, also the building of a private railway from Kapuskasing to Smoky Falls.
