The management hopes to ,he able to continue at this rate of production for some time, while the mine is working out in an important way, exploring new ground taken from _ the _ Poreupineâ€"Crown â€" and Thompsonâ€"Krist properties. It is further learned that the Viâ€" pond has strengthened its cash posiâ€" tion to a considerable extent and the year ending July 3lst will show cash assets in the neighborhood of $400,â€" 000. The official report states that durâ€" ing the latter part of July an ore ‘shoot was encountered in the drift on No. 9 vein at the 733 foot level, ; giving ore of commercial grade over dnft width for a contmuous length to date of 50 feet, with the face still in ore. As this occurrence corresponds with certain surface indications it may prove to be of importance. Very considerable increase in proâ€" duction is reported by Vipond Conâ€" solidated Mines Ltd., through R. S. Dening, director, for the three months ended July 31, 1928, when the producâ€" tion was valued at $187,000 from 22,â€" 455 tons of ore milled. This ecomâ€" paresg with a production value of $155,600 for the previous three months‘ period, or an increase of $31,â€" 400 Copyrighted, the interesting pamâ€" phlet is profusely illustrated with a number of halfâ€"tone cuts which vividâ€" ly depicts the various builds of modâ€" ern aeroplanes, monoplanes and hiâ€" planes of all sizes and makes,â€"land planes as well as seaplanes.

The brochure tells of the establishment of the comâ€" pany as an air transportation centre for the province of Ontario. The little booklet, in itself, is an encyclopaedia of the most useful inâ€" formation pertaining to matters aeroâ€" nautical, and is divided into chapters such as: ‘‘The Air Age is Here,"‘ WA N T E D BOOKLET ON AVIATION FOR FPREE DISTRIBUTION A couple of weeks ago reference was made by The Advance to a price war on vacuum bottles between two drug stores in town. The one had a sale on of the vacuum bottles at a specially low price and the other mors than met the price, and the war was on. It closed with the one store givâ€" ing away the bottles with every purâ€" chase, while the other store was sellâ€" ing them at the rate of one cent each. In reporting the event, The Advance referred to the bottles as ‘‘Thermos"‘ bottles, which they were not. _ The word ‘*‘Thermos‘‘ has been so widely advertised and represents a type of vacuum bottle of such general popuâ€" larity that it has come to he taken as the name for this type of bottle. The line of unconscious reasoning no doubt is that ‘*‘Thermos‘‘ is the standardâ€"â€" the bestâ€"and everyone should have the ‘best,â€"so that when asking for this kind of bottle the word **Therâ€" mos‘‘ is applied. The same thing apâ€" plies to ‘‘Eversharp‘‘ peneils, the name ‘‘Evergsharp‘‘ being a trade name, but generallly applied to a cerâ€" tain type of peneil evtn when the penâ€" cil is not of the actual ‘‘Eversharp‘‘ make. The Advance used the word, ‘*Thermos‘‘ to desceribe the bottles on l sale in this way, and takes this opporâ€"| tunity to point out that they were not in INIs Way, and ([@aKes This opporâ€" tunity to point out that they were not ‘*Thermds‘‘ bottles at all, but another type of vacuum hottles understood now to be of foreien make.

Literally hundreds from the North Land were among the thousands at the Pembroke Centennary and Old Home Week, and all report a wonderâ€" ful time. Timmins, Haileybury and Cobalt were particularly well repreâ€" sented at the reâ€"union, and those reâ€" turning say it was one of the most successful and pleasing events of its kind. The pageant showing the hunâ€" dred years of history of the town of Pembroke is described as a remarkâ€" ably clever and attractive feature, while scores of amusement features and items of interest added to the enâ€" joyment of the oceasion. The big thing, of course, to most was the hearty and sincere welcome given all by the people of Pembroke, and forâ€" mer residents of the Pembroke district who visited the old town at the time of the Centenary are enthusiastic in expressing their appreciation of everyâ€" thing. ‘"‘It was like a North Land welcome‘‘ is one form of praise, and nothing more than that need be said. The section cortains pictures of the exterior and interior of the hotel, toâ€" gether with all sorts of information relative to â€"the building. Jules J. Joanisse, Timmins, was the architeci for the new structure. THOUSANDS ENJOY BIG TIME AT PEMBROKE, ONT. The special section devotes over a column to the good work in plumbing, heating and ventilation done by Smith Elston. There were more than 30,â€" 000 feet of pipe in the plumbing. Referring to the work The Nugget says :â€"»‘+When the firm of Smith and Elston, Timmins, were awarded the plumbing, heating and ventilation conâ€" tracts for the Empire Hotel, no misâ€" take was made. This is now apparâ€" ent by the manner in which the work has been earried out. Completed right on schedule, the contracts were execeuted in a manner that won the adâ€" miration of the promoters. â€" Durable materials of known resistive powers were used throughout and should last indefinitely. Much of the credit for the manner in which the work was acâ€" complished must go to J. O‘Connor, the firm‘s foreman, who personally| supervised the smallest details in his| usual painstaking manner.‘"‘ | The special section of The Nugget carries halfâ€"tone portraits cof Messrs Mascioli nd Bardessono with the folâ€" lowing reference:â€"‘‘These are the gentlemen, who promoted, designed and built the Empire Hotei of North Bay and who are operating it. Leo Mascioli, president of the company is shown on the left, with his associâ€" ate, P. Bardessono, secretaryâ€"treasurâ€" er. Both have had many years of experience in the hotel business and the contracting and theatrical busiâ€" nesses. They have extensive holdings throughout the North, but take partiâ€" cular pride in their most recent venâ€" ture, firmly convinced of what the fuâ€" ture holds for the city of North Bay."‘ In referring to the inspiration that prompted the builders of North Bay‘s new hotel, The Nugget says ~--“lhe founders oi the Empire hotel when they laid down the fundamentals of this house had their inspiration,â€"the art of good service combined with tasteful surroundings. _ This model hotel, destined to be the most modern structure of its kind in the North Country, is situated in the heart of North Bay‘s business section, within easy access of hboth railway depots and the main travelled high w ays for tourists. Twenty sample rooms, bharâ€" ber shop and other facilities are housâ€" ed in the basement, while the E mpn' Drug Store can bv entered from the rotunda or from the Fraser street side of the dbuilding. The new hotel has every modern convenience, charmingly appomted roomsâ€"in short, accommoâ€" dation is such that the most varied tastes can be pleased."‘ Iâ€"feel sure their efforts to give North Bay a thoroughly upâ€"toâ€"date hostelry will be amply rewarded in the patronâ€" age they will receive from the travelâ€" ling public and citizens of the Gateâ€" way City.
