Itâ€" was estimated that the new building and furnishings would cost over $30,000. The Advance ‘*Honour Roll"‘ of men who had enlisted in the Poreuâ€" pine totalled 296 names on June 14th, 1916. Among the letters from the front published in The Advance of June l14th, 1916, was the following :â€" France, May 11, 1916. Mr, Len Newton, Timmins, Ont. / In view of the reports and surâ€" mises in regard to .the present proâ€" spects for the Dome Mines, it is inâ€" teresting to read the general opinion of the Dome ten years ago. An arâ€" ticle in The Advance in 1916 was headed : ‘*‘Dome Ore Bodies are Unâ€" equalled in Size.‘‘ Reference was made to the big ‘‘glory hole"‘‘ with an‘ area of ten acres where gold ore was quarried,"‘‘ as it were. ‘‘In conâ€" sidering the size of ore bodies, the Dome is the wonder of the Poreuâ€" pine,‘‘ said the grticle. ‘‘It has the largest bodies of payable ore in the camp, and consequently can mine with great facility and low cost. The veins on the Dome are, as a rule, huge masses of quartz and other vein matter, carrying in some places high gold content, but averaging up to good values.""~ That was the acceptâ€" ed view of the Dome ten years ago. and there are men who still bank on the Dome being a producer long after the downhearted . have sold their shares.â€" â€"~ Ten years ago, plans and specificaâ€" tions were completed for the New Empire Theatre,â€"a model playhouse, much ore as treated ten years ago. The Advance of June 14th, 191i6, says:*‘Construction work on the 2,â€" 000â€"tons a day mill addition to the Hollinger is being rushed as fast as possible. Contracts have been let for the foundation, on which an enorâ€" mous quantity of cement will be usâ€" ed. The mill addition will be the largest single construction work atâ€" tempted by any mine in Canada, costâ€" ing $750,000. _ The sheeting has been torn from the present mill buildâ€" ing to which the addition will hbe made. An idea of the importance of the work is had from the fact that the addition is a duplication of the present null, which has a production of almost half a million per month.‘‘ You asked for a better corn flake â€" Mr. Ramsay spoke a few words of appreciation,. and Mr. Hox\arth said that it was the best evening that he had had since coming to the north country. The last social evening of the Lanâ€" cashire Club was held in the Holâ€" linger Recreation Hall on Saturday last and a very large attendance was present. _ Besides the usual club members and friends a special invitaâ€" tion was given to the Kirkland Lake Football Club, several of whom are Lancashire boys. By special request of the Kirkland Lake‘s goodkeeper a set of Lancers was given which was enjoyed by all. The music was supplied by the A. S.D. Orchestra with Mr. Bridges on the violin owing to the sickness of Mr. Whaley. LANCASHIRE CLUB HOSTS TO KIRKLAND LAKE LADS cupine. I am away from most of the~Timmins boys of my own corps, but I am camped right amongst anâ€" other bunch.. Big **‘Slim," Paddy Rowe, Len Dansford, Bill Curtis now), young Arnold Burrows, Bob Callum, Joe Leroux, whoâ€" has been transferred to our bunch and is with me, and a whole lot of others you would know if you were here. All are looking well and are in the thbest of spirits. ‘‘*Slim‘‘ is doing well; he is Quartermaster Sergeantâ€" it is rather a leng title, but I would be a while longer if I tried to explain his duties to you. Fred Mulloy is Sergeant. I saw a photo from South Porcupine sent to Dave Maxwell; you certainly must have had a lot of snow last winter if that was anything to go by. We are having nice weather here now and I can tell you it is welcome, for if you get a spell of wet weathey here you get wet and stay wet while the spell lasts. Still, Len, it isâ€" good to be here and to be one aâ€" mongst the crowd.* There is certainly a great bunch of men here. _ You very seldom hear any complaints and everybody seems happy in spite of all the drawbacks, and anyone who thinks the Kaiser is going to rule the world should have a look at the men who are hereâ€"1I don‘t mean the numâ€" bers, but the cilass of menâ€"and then he \ull think again. And another wonderful thing, Len, is the health of the troops. You see very little sickness of any kind, exceept a case of cold or something of that kind.â€" I saw the result of the dog team race in the paper. I must congratuilate you on getting second place. How do you like Sandy Falls? I put in ‘necul\ six months there five years ago. Well, Len, I don‘t think I have any more to say at present. Please reâ€" member me to Jack and Mrs. Newton and Kenneth, and to Mrs. Len and Melba and all the others at home. By the way, Len, how is the son and heir coming up? I hope he is doing well. This is all this time, so goodâ€" b)e and believe me to be ever.

It is held that Red Lake has enough business to warâ€" rant a recording office remaining there, and that to move the present office is to entail much loss and exâ€" pense on prospectors who have staked in the original section of the new gold field. This viewpoint is endorsâ€" ed by an article last week in The Sudâ€" bury Star. It is a despateh from Huson and reads as follows:;â€" ‘*Hudson, June 9.â€"(Special)â€"This week will see the recording office for the Red Lake mining districts estabâ€" lished at Pine Ridge. The new locaâ€" tion is at the junetion of the waterâ€" ways, one of which extends to Red Lake, and one to Birch Lake area, and while the new site looks good on the map, yet it represents one of the most unfortunate mistakes in recent years in connection with the efforts of the Department of Mines to serve the prospectors. Prospectors are genâ€" erally agreed on the fact that the deâ€" partment has acted in good faith with the intention of helping the prospecâ€" tors in the field. However, the fact that theâ€"recording office has been established at Pine Ridge is looked upon as a mistake of such magnitude as to be greatly detrimental to proâ€" gress in the Red Lake field. ‘*Pine Ridge is 120 miles from the railway and is about 60 miles or more from Red Lake. When work is reâ€" A couple of week ago The Advance called attention to the fact that there seemed to be a fairly general opinion among prospectors that the Governâ€" ment had made a mistake in moving the mining recording office from Ret New Red Lake District Mining Reâ€" cording Office Claimed to be a Bad Mistake PINE â€"RIDGE NOT BEST PLAGE FOR REGORDFR digestion good. clean, breath sw>t, appetite keen and h. digestion good. .
