With a $4,.â€" 900 income, he will pay $20 as against $80 under the present law, and if he has an income of $5,000 he will pay as contrasted with $126.

The following report of the prineipal of the High School for the month of March is of special interest :â€" Timmins High School, April 13, 1926, (Gtentlemen:â€"I have the honour to submit the report of the High Sehool for the month of March as follows: There were 23 school days Tl Att‘ee Av.

The latest product of aerial photoâ€" craphy combined with ground surâ€" veys is a map of the Red Lake disâ€" trict. in northwestern Ontario, in which so much prospecting is being done at present. By the use of this method, carried on by the Topographiâ€" cal Survey, Department of the Inâ€" terior, Ottawa, im ecâ€"operation with the Royal Canadian Air Force, a wealth of detail has been collected, comprising lakes,. rivers, portages, falls and similar information, which would have required an immense amount of effort to obtain by ground surveys alone. The map has been published on the sceale of one inclu to two miles and covers an area about forty miles by sixty miles in extent, approximately centred at Red Lake. â€" Whereas prosâ€" pecting has up to the present been confined to areas close to Red Lake itself it is anticipated that with the aid of this map as a guide, the exâ€" tension of these activities over broader areas will be greatly facilitated. As an indication of the maze of waterâ€" ways in the district it may be stated that something like 700 lakes are shown. Indeed, so many lakes and other features have been suddenly brought to light that only a relatively small number hare been named. This map which may ‘be obtained from the Topographical Survey for the nominal charge of twentyâ€"five cents per copy, will aid the prospector in getting through the distriet and will help him to choose the most direct route of getting out to the Mining recorder‘s office,. For properly recording his claim also, he will be better able to indicate to the mining recorder exactly where it is situated. A system of reference squares, into which the map has been divided, parâ€" ticularly facilitates this object. It is of especial importance on account of the large number of so far unâ€" named physical features. / SEND CONTRIBUTIONS TO TREASURER, BOX 692 Donations for V.O.N. work in sent to Mr. Ed. urer of the Timr 692.
