That had been an auspicious occasion, and all had gone well with the New Lisâ€" keard Club since that fine start. The speaker for the day on Monday was Mr. C. N. Alston, local manager for the Northern Telephone Co. The adâ€" dress by Mr. Alston explained much to the members of the club present, and all had a more sympathetic view on the telephone company afzr hearing the details of recent operations by the comâ€" pany. Mr. Alston dealt at length with the service here and the company‘s endeavour to give the public the best service possible. He referred to the necessity reccntly for switching connecâ€" tions twice on the whole service in conâ€" nection with the changing of central into the new Power Co. building. This was a piece of work that presented very considerable difficulty and if the public fully réalized the trouble in such work they would not be too hard on the teleâ€" phone company for any little derelicâ€" tions in service. Indeed, the wonder is that there was not more dislocation of service under all the difficulties of the situation. Last Wednesday night at 12 midnight the company finally switched over completely to the new building with no interruption to the service, except a very few local phones. To facilitate the switching over to the the new building, two expert electrical engineers from the Northern Electric Co. had been here and had given their valuable services and talent to the work. Mr. Alston explained that there were 1145 double connections that had to be made at each of the moves. There were 58 soldered connections in the inâ€" stallation of every telephone, he said. Mr. Alston described in detail the many different operations necessary in every telephone call from the time the reâ€" ceiver was lifted off the hook until the call was completed. Mr. Alston‘s address was particularly interesting, but his answers to quesâ€" tions were even more informative. He answered a large number of pointed questions, in each case giving the inforâ€" mation desired in very effective and satisfactory way. The questions drew out a great deal of very helpful inforâ€" mation, the answers giving the memâ€" bers of the club a new idea of the exâ€" tent and the difficulties of the teleâ€" phone service and the effort made to provide adequate accommodation to the public. In reference to long distance service to Toronto. Mr. Alston pointed out that the local company had no control over this, the long distance lines to North Bay being owned by the T. M. â€"O. Railway. There were only two trunk lines to North Bay, and the Northern Telephone Co. had been urging on the T. N. O. Railway the desirability and necessity for putting in at least another trunk line to handle the volume of teleâ€" phone business to Toronto and other points south. OFFER OF TREASURY STOCK BY WEST DOME LAKE MINES Shareholders of West Dome Lake Gold Mines have been offered the right to subscribe to a block of 500,000 treasâ€" ury shares of the company at 10 cents a share, according to an official anâ€" nouncement by Sir Henry Pellatt, preâ€" sident. A report of progress since the annual meeting, by Manager D. M. Mcâ€" phail, says that work at the mine has been carried on energetically, and to as great an extent as the company‘s finâ€" ances would allow. Exploration and development work has all been done on the 1,050 and 1,200â€"foot levels, the two deepest in the mine. _ On the 1,200â€"foot level drifting was continued east to develop "C" ore shoot, which has a length now of 383 feet. The face is still in ore and this should continue for another hundred feet. On the 1,.050â€"foot level drifting was carried east to a distance of 2,800 feet from the shaft, and considerabhle exâ€" ploration carried on by crosscutting, short drifts and raises. In this easterâ€" ly section a length of over 450 feet of lowâ€"grade ore wWas developed in three shoots. In places this ore is from 13 feet to 20 feet wide, and this section warrants ment. In addition to this underground work the mill has recently been thoroughly overhauled and put in order to start any day. a great deal more developâ€" THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO JACK D.
