The point chiefly emphasized in the reference to the Meclntyre‘s new shaft is the speed with which it has been constructed. Much praise has been given to Mr. H. A. Kee, who is in charge of the work, for the wonderful progress made in the sinking of the shaft. This pralse is certamly deserved, but in emâ€" phasizing this feature a much more important one has been overlooked. This latter feature is the perfect workmanship shown in the work. While the rate of progress has set a record, a double record has been made by the qualâ€" ity of the work.. To see the finish given to the conatructlon of this shaft is to view workmanship seldom equalled in mining enterpube â€"The woodwork is a joy to behold to all who value that rare commodity of these modern days of rusll;perfec’t workmanship. ‘The timbering would be acceptable as the finish of any residence interior. _ Perfect joints, every timber true and straight, and the whole construction perfect in every detail! The shaft is «own 4,100 feet and though it was continued from an old shaft, the engiâ€". neer‘s measurements showed only a variation of oneâ€"sixteenth of an inch m all the work. Practically, it is perfection. It is doubtful if many mines can. show so high a type of construction for work of this kind, and with recurd‘ #ime made on the work as well. > The perfection of construction will mean. that safety will be assured while the cages may run at a high rate of speed.i One man who viewed the work récently described it as ‘‘the smoothest piece ef mine work‘‘ he had even seen. It is interesting to note that the work was } «one by the usual run of mine workérs. They had special inducement, howâ€" ~ever, for the best of work, while so cleverly was the construction organizedf that good progress and record time were praétically a matter of course. A feature of the work at the new shaft is the Safety First organization to assure sefficiency. Examinations are made of all men as they go on and off shift. AInfections and blood troubles are thus caught and checked. Injuries are reduced to a minimum. Apparently the secret of the success of work at the Melntyre new shaft is the same secret that is assuring efficiency and progress | elsewhere in the camp,â€"the mine being alive to the interests of the mens, and the men in return interested in their work and taking a just pride in its sueeess. _ § ; There may be some comfort in the thought that neither of the deaths reâ€" sulting from the fire in the Reed Block recently were directly due to the lack ef safeguards or equipment for use in case of fire. ‘The enquiry into the fire, however, showed that all precautions for the safety of the tenants were not employed, and the lack of these safeguards at any time might mean the loss of precious lives. It should not be forgotten either that the Reed block is not the only building in town where some possible safeguards for life in case of fire are lacking. The Reed block is equipped better than some ‘other buildings as a matter of fact, and presents less danger to the occuâ€" pants in case of the need for a hurried exit: There are some buildings in town that may fairly be termed ‘‘fireâ€"traps.‘‘ Unless matters are remedied deaths would be a matter of course in some of them in case of fire at night. It may be taken for granted that no one would desire to endanger life in any way. The necessary precautions should be taken for the safety of all conâ€" «cerned. Fire escapes free for hurried use, ropes at the windows, fire doors, sprinkler systems, and other methods and safeguards should be considered, â€"and the best plan adopted. No one will set the cost against the menace to life. Every propertyâ€"owner should consider his own case and see that everyâ€" thing possrble is being done to guard against further tragedy. No matter what the cost, the idea 0 :safety for life should be kept first in view. Now, with the sobering effect. rgf the recent tragedie ;,in view, is the time to deal fof M of oqmpment long reeommended by the. fiie cluef t.hat t.he town‘ $ _"’ secure at the earliest moment. : Timmins has purchasod muefix “good lucL m tu past in regard to hms by bemg fomsxghted in the «_ A rather original excuse for not being at school was given recently in eonnection with a High School pupil. He was credited with staying at home se as to be able to study for the departmental examinations. A. motorist last week openly expressed the opinion that pedestrians have no rights on the roads. His argument was that this is a motor age and that conditions are now such that modern civilization is so dependent on motors, and the motorists form so large a majority of the paying public, that the rights of others much necessarily be subservient. Very well!l Let the motorists pay all the costs for all the roads, and the pedestrian will not have to walk around so much to pay his way. Fortunately for both pedestrians and motorists, the opinion expressed by the one motorist is not generally held, or‘some sort of adjustment of the matter of the costs of the roads and the use of the roads would be necessary, | These be busy days! â€"And there must be a lot of money in a gold camp. In addition to the ordinary dance events and other features of usual type, the last few days have seen Timmins with the Kiwanee Fair, the Palmer‘s United Midway Shows, the circus, fire sales and other sales, and other events that take money to carry on. All of them seemed to do well, thus proving, apparently, for the present at least, that ‘‘you cannot lose in a gold camp.‘‘ Anything that will give benefit to the people of this part of the North Land is sure to have the keen interest of Mr. A. F. Kenning, M.P.P. Accordâ€" ingly, it is only to be expected that Mr. Kenning should pay particular attenâ€" tion to the case of the settlers who had sold pulpwood to the Mattagami Pulp Paper Co. and who have waited so long for their money. Mr. Kenning has been working on the matter since before his election, and he has met with sympathetic attention from all concerned. Some time ago, the settlers in common with other unsecured creditors received one quarter of their claims. It will not be more than two or three week now until the settlers will be paid in full from all accounts. The representative of the interests concerned is in Timmins toâ€"day and final preparations are being made for the paying in full of the settlers.. The Premier promised that this would be done and those concerned in the recent sale of the Mattagami Pulp Company assets agreed to the plan proposed. As a result of the negotiations carried on, the payment. in full to the settlers will now be only a matter of a short time.. The payâ€" ments will be forwarded to the settlers concerned asâ€"soon as the necessary details can, be attended to. This will be one of the most helpful things for settlement in this North Land. â€" It will gvive renewed courage to the settlers, as well as ariding them in every material way financially.
