(Boston Transeript.) From a letter received from an orâ€" ganization helpful to the immigrant we learn that among the questions asked of these unfortunates are: "How many feathers has a goose h "How long is a string?‘" ‘*How many feet has an American cat ?"‘ ‘‘The alien is supposed to say he does not know,‘‘ this letter goes on. ‘But how little such questions take into account the motion of the proâ€" ective immigrant. America is A ‘range, vast country. Perhaps an merican goose has only just so many feathers. Perhaps there are regulaâ€" tions about the length of a string in America. Perhaps cats in Americaâ€" It is all very bewildering.‘"‘ We make no comment upon this: whether or not the test is a fair one let our readers judge for themselves.

In addition to the extension of the present ore bodies some new finds were made, and one on the eleventh level served to act as a sweetener for the low grade ore coming from the upper levels on acâ€" count of its richness. Exploration recently has been largely on the 3,000 foot level toward the east, to what is considered the favourable sedimenâ€" tary section of the property. It. is understood that no outstanding disâ€" coveries hbhave been made so far in this week. The work here is in porâ€" phyry, and it is reported that this has widened out.. In this event it is posâ€" sible that the sediments at this depth have been cut off by the widening of the porphyry and if such is the case it will mean that a long drive may be l necessary into the Dome Extension to | pick up another area of sediments.

C ANOTHER GOOD DANCE BY THE AMBULANCE BRIGADE There was a good attendance at the masquerade dance given Py ‘the St. John Ambulance Brigade‘in the Holâ€" linger Recreation hall on Thursday evening last. All present had a very L husdihd v----co ME id good time. Those attending, however, very evidently came to dance, and did not enter into ‘the masquerade idea to any extent, there being only eight in costume. The costumes, howâ€" ever, were good, and the St. John Amâ€" bulance Brigade not only gave out Six prizes promised, but they added two specials for the two young ladies in costume who had missed a place on the list of prize winners. These special prizes were free admission tickets to the January dance of the It. John Ambulance Brigade. _ The winners of the six prizes were as folâ€" lows:â€"Ladies, first, Mrs. Forrester, as ‘‘Miss Winter; second Miss Merâ€" cy, as ‘‘Night‘‘; third, Miss Jackson, as ‘‘Colleen‘‘; (Gentlemen, first, Mr. Beard, as ‘‘Turk‘‘; second, Mr. Asâ€" pin, as ‘‘Radio‘‘; third, Mr. A.

Another good feature was the lunch served by the ladies of the Brigade. URGES PRESERVATION OF FISH AND GAME RESOURCES In an open letter to sportsmen, Mr.|â€" Jacob M. Dickson, president of the | Isaak Walton League of America,| speaks the following wise words to all | sportsmen and others :â€" ‘ No one can rightfully claim to be a true sportsman who is dominated by a spirit of selfish gratification, and pursues his own pleasure with a disâ€" regard of the rights of mankind. When game and fishes seemed to be inexhaustible in our country so lavishâ€" ly endowed by nature, such a spirit seemed innocuous and was not repreâ€" henible. What seemed indestructible has in many respects reached the vanâ€" ishing point. Now there is but a remnant left of our rich heritage. What then but rarely attracted atâ€" tention, except from the few endowâ€" ed with wise prevision of what would come to pass, is now not merely a blunder but a crime to ourselves, to posterity, and to civilization. _ The sportsmen of the country, who of all others, best know the conditions and the pernicious forces at work, and apâ€" preciate what, if not arrested, will surely come, are of all our citizens those who should arouse not only themselves, but, by their insistent activity, the whole country to instant coâ€"operation to loyally support all wholesome laws for protection of our forests, our streams, our coasts and their denizens; and where no such laws exist, then to bring about their speedy enactment and rigid enforceâ€" ment.‘‘ J Millan rron:..‘. tss o( 2 aul lentine.. .. 246 139 im oi ts 180 183 nott :. 198 284 1022 923 Arnott, 4 points; Weber, Y orkes . 198 . . @10 , . 264 @109 183 Starrs . 169 i 201 c cCOU 142 Arnotts 141 Weber ; "2127 036 940 42( 227 205 Arnott‘s Teams Out in the Week 202 173 231 164 914 1011 298 212 170 193 125 161 228 166 160 84( T19 201 139 183 185 210 164 186 185 183 197 830 194 162 193 260 214 123 166 g23 629 510 58» J 667 561 57S 680 508 503 645 27683 32 § 405 593 583 473 432 HOURS FOR CHILDREN AT MR. FIELD‘S SKATING RINK Mr. Field‘s skating rink, establishâ€" lished this year for the children of the town, is doing a land office vusiâ€" ness. Each day the rink is crowded every available minute, and the boys and girls are certainly grateful to Mr. Field for giving them this chance at wholesome and healthy sport. Thke rink is situated on Hollinger avenue, across from the C.A.8. Shelter, but it is used by youngsters from all over town. Mr. Field has arranged cerâ€" tain hours for the children, so that all may have a chance to enjoy the rink. The hours are as follows:â€" From 4 to 5 p.m., for children unâ€" der ten years of age. ' From 5 to 6 p.m., the rink has to be free for cleaning off. The hour from 6 to 7 p.m. is reservâ€" ced for hockey. From 7 to 8 the rink is for the use of children under 16 years, part of this time being for girls‘ skating. GOLD MAY SOON FLOW FROM UNITED STATES TO ENGLAND 16 vears of A cable from London, England, this week says that financial optimists say gold may flow from New York to Lonâ€" don before the year‘s end and proâ€" phecy a reduction in the British bank rate. â€" Exchange experts caleulate that the American gold export point is now about $4.89 3â€"16, thanks to the lower shipping rates for gold. The Treasury and the Bank of Engâ€" land probably would weleome a spell of cheap money in the new year to pave the way for a favourable converâ€" sion of maturing war bonds but unâ€" less the Bank of England‘s theory of proper proportion «between reserve and liabilities is lowered a reduction of bank rate would require favourable conditions on the United States side and coâ€"operation of the Federal Reâ€" serve Board. This view is confirmed by The Lonâ€" don Times, where the financial editor declares that hopes are running high _ of gold from the United States to Europe and that such a flow resulting from purely exchange conditions would be an event of great importance, marking a fresh stage in the estabâ€" lishment of postâ€"war economic equiliâ€" brium.

What is probably one of the most widely read novels in the world is ‘*The Count of Monte Cristo,"‘ which was written by Alexandre Dumas about one hundred years ago. _ Deâ€" pite the fact that the technic of the novel has advanced greatly in the last hundred years, Dumas‘ masterâ€" piece still 1emamq one of the most called for books in the public library.

Work is now uhder way to make the programme a memorable one. There will be a number of special selections by the band, all the numbers being particularly â€" appropriate for the Christmas season. _ Popular Christâ€" mas carols are to be specially featurâ€" ed and it is hoped to have the audiâ€" ence join in the singing of some of the betterâ€"known earols, the band playing the accompaniments. _ When Brigaâ€" dier Taylor, S.A., was in Timmins a couple of years ago he remarked on the excellence of the community singâ€" ing here and urged the people to do more of it. As Brigadier Taylor is a musician of recognized high standing having been in charge of the noted Salvation Army Overseas Band that made such a decided impression when it toured the Old Land after the war, his words are worthy of particular atâ€" \tention. The popularity of a similar event here also prompts the band to put forward this special feature for the Christmas concert. In addition to the instrumental numbers and the community singing, there will be vyoâ€" cal and other numbers appropriate to the Christmas season by local artists of special talent. At the regular monâ€" thly meeting of the Timmins Citizens‘ Band on Monday evening the memâ€" bers were unanimous in expressing their intention to make the Christmas band concert to be held on Dec. 18th the very best yet.
