In doing so he called particular atâ€" tention to the dividend sceale which for the fifth suecessive year has been increased. â€" Policyholders of the comâ€" pany must feel gratified at this accesâ€" sion. For a period of fifteen years there has been no decrease in the diviâ€" dends paid to policyholders,. _ This accomplishment without an impairâ€" ment of the company‘s earning power, or its ability to pay future dividends, makes the company‘s record an enâ€" viable one in this respect.

The cash income from all sources totalled $8,039,359 showing a splendid increase of almost a million dollars over the previous year.

Lines Had to be Shovelled Out as Snow packed too Hard to be Ploughed The previous week Timmins had a snow storm, but it was not in the class of the Haileybury one last week. Still, it was quite enough. At Haileyâ€" bury, Cobalt and New Liskeard, howâ€" ever, last week‘s snow storm was what is technically known as a ripâ€"snorter. Reference was made in The Advance last week to the storm and its effect on traffic. Further details are given in The Haileyburian, and these may be of interest in view of the fact that there was no snow at North Bay at the time and the points further south were also free from snow. _ In the Poreupine district, previous to the storm last week, there was more snow than at Haileybury but now ‘both the Cobalt and Poreupine camps have a sufficient supply of snow to do them all winter. In the south there are many businesses that regret that there is no snow,â€"those that sell skus, snowshoes, ete. Either the Poreupine camp or the Cobalt camp would be quite willing to furnish the southern sections with snow enough to carry on provided transportation can be arâ€" ranged. â€" The majority of people here, however, would not be willing to give up All the snow. Most people like a little snow for winter. It doesn‘t seem like a real winter without snow. And it is not a good winter if there is no snow. Usually when snow storms are goâ€" ing in this North Land, Timmins gets its share, but this town escaped "the big one thdt. hit the Cobaltâ€"Hailey burvâ€"Liskeard â€" districtâ€" last week To get back to the snow storm in the Halle\huxv Cobaltâ€"Liskeard area, though !

THREE COBALT CHILDREN WERE INJURED LAST WEEK The Cobalt Record (if that is the; name of the Cobalt paper, but it isn‘t| any more than The Advance is The Gazette) says :â€"â€" \ While playing on the verandah at the Public School on Wednesday afternoon Albert Munroe, eightâ€"yearâ€" old son of Mr. James Munroe, the school janitor, slipped from the railâ€" ing of the verandah and fell, breaking his arm. The accident happened just before the school bell rang for the afternoon studies. _ Although sufferâ€" ing intense pain the little fellow said nothing about his accident until his teacher, noticing that he looked il1, asked him what was the matter. He said he felt sick, and was sent to Nurse Campbell. An examination was made and it was found that his arm was broken. Medical aid was at once callâ€" ed and the fractured arm set in a cast. Two of the children of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. George were painfully injured during the weekâ€"end while skiâ€"ing. Victor George, the eldest boy, was hurt on Saturday while skiâ€"ing on the chool ated Victor tgeorge, INne CiUuEesb UOUY, . wdis hurt on Saturday while skiâ€"ing on the rock pile near his home when he ran against a piece of sheet iron inflicting a gash which required several stiches to close. On Sunday afternoon Vieâ€" tor‘s sister Bernadette fell while skiâ€" ing and wrenched one of her ankles so severely that the swelling made it impossible to tell at first whether the foot was fractured or only sprained. An Xâ€"ray taken on Thursday showed that no bhones were broken. DIAMOND DRILLING AT PARMAC PORCUPINE MINES It was announced last week by Parâ€" mac Poreupine Mines, Limited, that diamond drilling on their property in the Poreupine Camp would be started this week. This decision, they say, was reached in view of the fact that Douglas Mutch in a eport on the proâ€" perty had stated that ‘"recent develâ€" opments. on Coniaurum showed conâ€" clusively that properties in this seeâ€" tion could develop ore provided they had the necessary formation, which did not have to be connected definiteâ€" ly with what is known as the Pearl Lake porphyry mass. _ Parmac has the necessary formation and a strong break along a favourable contact. In our opinion drilling to depth on this property is well warranted and offers fair possibilities.‘‘ According to Mr. Mutch, Parmac holdings have the necessary porphyry formation and he says that this is separate and distinet from the porphyry oceurring on the neighbouring Mcelntyreâ€"Poreupine Mines. It is in connection with this porphyry that their productive veins have been found. ‘‘Parmae Poreuâ€" pine Mines has perhaps the most loâ€" cation of any of the undeveloped proâ€" perties in this section in regard to transportation and power facilities,"‘ he concludes. Dr. Ralph MeKee, an engineer from New York City and a Professor of Chemical Engineering, is associated with Mr. Mutch as consultâ€" ing engineer for the company. _ Dr. McKee is connected with the Lewiâ€" sohn interests, which control the Kerr Lake Mining Company. He is a notâ€" ed authority on ore and shale and is associated also with several copper concetns.

At the conclusion of his address, Mr. Wootâ€" ten announced that he would award a trophy for competition among the Life Underwriters Association of Norâ€" thern Ontario, including those at North Bay, Sudbury, Sault Ste.

It is expected the cnntvst will arouse considerable interest among the members of the five associations. As Timmins has onesof the livest branches of the Life Underwriters‘® Association, with a large amount of business done by the agents here, there does not seem to be any reason why the Timmins branch should not stand a good chance of adding that trophy to the other trophies possessed by this live town.
