Timmins You Can Get a 7 Cents a Day Number nd â€" Ice Box 617 for Less Than MORE MONEY FOR DOMINION THAN PROVINGE IN LIQUOR Figures Given in Legislature Last Week as to Liquor Control Board Sales and Profits. Sales Dropped in Last Three Months of 1929. Sales under the Liquor Control Board during the fiscal year 1929 totalled $55,â€" 360,569, and which netted the province a profit of $8,751,680, according to the report tabled in the Legislature by Hon. W. H. Price, Attorneyâ€"General on Weanesday of last week. °e To this figure is added other profits, including sales of permits amounting to $909,768, making a total profit of $9,661, 448. An interesting feature of the report is the fact that sales in November, Deâ€" cember and January droppd in comâ€" parison to the corresponding months for 1928. November last showed a deâ€" creased sale of $10,030; December $923,â€" 862, and January $170,984. Commenting on this situation, the. report says: "it must not be thought that similar reductions will of necessity apply the year round. They will if the legitimate demand be not increasâ€" ed; if the tourist business remains staâ€" tionary, which is not expected. Change of conditions may create an unustual and perfectly legitimatr increase in the demand. Last winter, influenza and feverish colds were prevalent. Docâ€" tors advised the use of brandy. This year there was practically no influenza. In the first half of January, 1929, 2,146 cases of brandy were sold. In the samo period this winter only 1,410 cases were sold; a reduction of 343¢%. Rum is also largely used for colds and influâ€" enza. In the same period in 1929, 3,â€" 522 cases of rum were sold and in the same period this winter only 1,743 cases, a reduction of 1,779 cases or 50.50,." Native wine sales showed a large inâ€" crease, leaping 108.7 per cent. In 1928, there were 698,028 gallons sold, while last year the figure climbed to 1,693,â€" 242 gallons. Commenting on this phase of the sales, the report points out that the gallonage increase is in exâ€" cess of money receipts because of the abolition of the luxury tax which reâ€" sulted in a lowering of prices by the wineries amounting to a 55â€"cent drop on gallon quantities and 10â€"cent drop on the price of bottles. The report points out that the Doâ€" minion Government received more proâ€" fit from the sales under the act than the province.. The ‘Ontario Governâ€" ment in 1928 paid the Dominion Govâ€" ernment $15,000,000 while in 1929 the figure rose to $17,005,000. Discussing this feature, the report states: "the net profits of the province while large are relatively small comâ€" pared to the Dominion revenues receivâ€" ed from the liquor traffic. The difficult question of sale, largely rendering posâ€" sible as it does these great Dominion revenues, is entirely looked after by the province. Should the question of a proper division or allocation be ever considered it is manifest that the ratio of the present division of the profits of the traffic should be entirely reversed and the greater proportion received by the province." A-surplus is shown of $2,764,297; a gross trading profit of $11,566,658, and a net trading profit of $8,751,680. Six new stores were opened located at Scarboro Bluffs, Merrickville, Peleo Island, Ottawa, Hearst and Lancaster, while the total number of stores in operation is 122. "Evils resulting from the abuse oi liquor have been ever present," says the report in discussing the general situation. "The sin of drunkenness is still with us and probably will remain with the host of other sins and crimes that scourge humanity just so long as human nature is what it is and until that Utopian day arrives when police, prisons and criminal codes have no jurisdiction for a continual existence." "Sally" Remarkably Fine Talkie Here This Week :"Sally," the talkie now showing at the Goldfields, is one of the very best and has won very general approval wherever shown. There are no less than thirtyâ€"two musical numbers in "Sally" and all of them are said to be unusually good. Everything from a hand organ to 100â€" piece orchestra contributes to the outâ€" standing success of this sound picture. Marilyn Miller is the star of "‘Sally." She is the most famous of toâ€"day‘s musical comedy ballet dancers as well as an accomplished singer. She is starring in "Sally," her first picture, 2 First National and Vitaphone offering now at the Goldfields theatre for the balance of the week. "Sally" is made entirely in techniâ€" color, every scene being photographed in its natural colours. It is said to be one of the most beautiful pictures ever screened. There are 100 chorus beauties in the show, and the love story in the play is said to rank with the greatest romances of the screen. The comedy is said to be something particularly special and sure to win the heartiest approval and laughter of all. Ford ‘Sterling; ~of thg «original "Keystone Cops," is still making laughs in pictures. He plays a comedy role in "Sally," and he provides lots of honest and unquestionable reason for hearty laughs. There are few people who will not be delighted with"Sally." Several in Timmins who have already seen this picture acclaim it as even better than "Rio Rita." It is expected that active work in the matter of the construction of a bridge over the Moose river on the T. N. O. extension north of Cochrane will be commenced at an early date. In this connection The North Bay Nugget last week had the following paragraph of interest:â€""A diamond drill has been shipped and preparations are being made to commence immediately foundâ€" ations testing on Mike Island for the proposed overhead bridge with which it is proposed to span the Moose River in the Ontario Government‘s dash for tidewater with the T. and N. O. Railâ€" GETTING READY TO BUILD BRIDGE OVER MOOSE RIVER way. The drill, which will be taken in via Blacksmith Rapids will be taken for the last fifteen miles of its journey over a road which was cut last fall by a private company drilling for oil in the James Bay Basin. It is expectec the outfit will be at Mike Island and operating within a week. The Moose River at this point is approximately half a mile wide and the estimated cost of the bridge for carrying steel across is in the neighbourhood of $1,000,000. Plans of the contractors in charge of construction of the new line from Coral Rapids to Blacksmith Rapids are to push the work rapily. It is exâ€" pected that steel will be laid over the muskeg as far as Blacksmith Rapids by May 1, and the road will be gravellâ€" ed afterwards. _ Already supplies are being rushed to the present end of steel and everything is being done in preparation for an active spring and summer at the northern end of the T. and N. O. line. WINNERS AT DAUGHTERS OF ENGLAND WHIST DRIVE The Daughters of England Social Club held a most successful whist drive on Wednesday evening, March 12thn after lodge.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 20th, 1930 SOME CLOSE GONTESTS IN LOGAL CURLING BONSFEL King‘s Rink Wins the Ecclestone Cup. Extra Ends Necessary to Decide President‘s Event and the Club Event at Local Bonspiel The local bonspiel at the Timmins Curling Club created a great deal of interest among the curlers and the curling fans. There were some good contests. In both the President‘s event and the Club event extra ends were necessary to decide the winners. Brough‘s rink won the President‘s cup and the Club event was won by Mcâ€" Coy‘s rink. ‘These two contests were specially interesting. In the contest for the Ecclestone cup, the rink skipped by King won, but not without a battle royal. The following are the particulars of the three events mentioned:â€" The Ecclestone Cup Tracey McGrath J. McLeod Richardson Arundel Stenhouse Ecclestone, skip 9 King, skip 13. The President‘s Event Hodgins Clemens Keddie Gurnel Newlands Walker Young, skip 10 Brough, skip 11. This event required an extra end to decide the winner. The Club Event Tremblay McHugh Belanger Heffernan Amm, J. Waddle McCoy, skip 11 Drew, skip 10. This event also went to the last stone in the tenth to prove the winner. ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE GONIAURUM MINES, LTD. Working Profit of Property From Auâ€" gust 20th to Dec. 31st, 1929, Totallâ€" ed $25,074.78. Other Interestâ€" ing Facts and Figures. A despatch this week from Toronto summarizes matters of interest in the Coniaurum Mines report as follows:â€"â€" In the annual report of Caniaurum Mines for the year ended Dec. 31, 1929, President Thayer Lindsley states that "Operations at your proprty since the new company took it over on August 20, 1929, and until the end of that year showed a working â€"profit of $25,074.78 before writeâ€"offs. Resources in hand at the latter date, les$s liabilities, toâ€" talled $252,658.30. "Development under the auspices of the new company had not yet received much frsh impulse up to the end of the year, time being required by this comâ€" pany‘s engineers to study the problems involved. This has now been done and the first steps taken towards sinking to a greater depth through a winze starting from the 2,000â€"foot level. Deâ€" lays in getting deliveries of the elecâ€" trical equipment required will militate against prompt execution of this work. John Redington, the mine manager, in his report states that "Development during the year was curtailed considâ€" erably owing to special conditions exâ€" perienced throughout the year. No new ore bodies were encountered, but the known ore was more fully developâ€" ed by a number of subâ€"levels and raises, as well as by extension of the main levels. A summary of this developâ€" ment accomplished during the year shows drifting 2,600 feet, crossâ€"cutting 473 feet, raising 371 feet, and diamond arilling 79 feet. "Of the above footage, 2,082 feet was in ore, with an average value of $6.66 across a width of 4.2 feet. Veins NQs. 2. 7, 12, 14 and 15 were attacked on the 500, 850, 1,150, 1,375, 1,500, 1,625, 1750 and 2,000â€"foot levels, and by careful mining and sorting we have been able to mine the narrow widths at a small margin of profit." The mine manager continued: "The mill treated 103,293 tons of ore with an average recovery of $6,453 or 96.6 per cent. of the gold content, and operatâ€" ed 88.7 per cent. of the possible running time. "Stoping and ore extraction for the year showed a total of 141,769 tons broken with 91,574 tons trammed to mill Ore reserves at the end of the year showed 70,412 tons of broken ore in the stopes, of approximately presâ€" ent milling grade. An accurate estiâ€" mate of the value of the ore in place cannot be made until further work is accomplished." 'I‘he-company's annual mseting will be held on March 28. . RUMMAGE SALE AUSPICES REBEKAHS® ON MARCH 29TH The Timmins Rebekahs announce rummage sale to be held in the 1.0.0. F. hall on Saturday of next week, March 29th, commencing at 9 o‘clock. There will be a nice array of useful and attractive articles on sale and this will be an event well worth attending. . Haileybury‘s tax rate for this year will be 60 mills for public school supâ€" porters and 75.7 for separate school supporters. The rate represents an increase over last year of six mills for public school supports and nearly seven for separate school supporters. Miner Dies in Fire at Sherrittâ€"Gordon Mine A despatch this week from The Pas, Manitoba, says that fire early on Monâ€" day, sweeping through a Sherrittâ€"Gorâ€" don Mining Company boarding house at Sherridon, destroyed the $20,000 structure, burned to death George Mcâ€" Kenzie, aged 38, a mine worker, and seriously injured three men. Dozens of others are being cared for in the hospital at the Sherrittâ€"Gordon mine. Two of the seriously injured men were rushed to St. Anthony‘s hospital at The Pas by airplane. Jack Moar, of the Western Canada Airways, few the party down in record time. The two men here are Stewart Paul and Sam David. They will recover. They were burned and were injured in jump from the third storey of the building. At Sherridon, the third injured member of the mining staff, a man named Mcâ€" Masters, is being treated for an injurâ€" ed back and for serious burns. The fire was discovered about six o‘clock Monday morning, he said. "One of the men went down stairs to get a drink of water and when he reâ€" turned to his room in the northeast end of the third filoor, it was a mass of flames. Details of. the fire were brought to The Pas Monday evenmg by Jack Rouse, who aided in nursing the injurâ€" ed men at Sherittâ€"Gordon. "He ran down the hall shouting the alarm. McKenzie and Sam David were sleeping in the room across the hall from the one where the fire startâ€" ed." David was able to jump from the window when he saw the passage way was blocked with flames. His comâ€" panion was unable to force himself through and fell back a victim to the flames. Within two minutes, the enâ€" tire building was a mass of flames and the fire fighting equipment was useless. Hundreds looked on as the big strucâ€" ture was destroyed. Within two hours the building had burned to the ground. Other company houses were being used this week to accommodate the 120 men who were made homeless. An investiâ€" gation into the cause of the fire is unâ€" der way. TIMMINS BASKETBALL TEAM wWINS UP AT KAPUSKASING The play started pretty even, both teams working hard. Right from the start Timmins put two men to watch Ballantyne. They considered. him the most dangerous man on the floor ant so he did not show up to great adâ€" vantage from the spectators‘ point of view, and yet he worked hard. Dainâ€" ton for the visitors was their best man. The visitors were all youngsters and sure worked together. The Kapuskasâ€" ing boys were too heavy for speed and the light fellows that should have takâ€" en the foor for some reason or other. The subbing of the Kapuskasing team was very poorly handled. Owing to the late hour the teams agreed to play only two 20â€"minute periods. The seâ€" cond period was all for Timmins. Lang The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasâ€" ing, last week says:â€" was fast and played a beautiful game, all the way through. He scored four field baskets and three freeâ€"throw basâ€" kets. In the second perio@ Timmins gave their subs the floor and Gilbert Wailingford and Thachuk made good. They did not score but they held Kaâ€" puskasing in great style. _ The gfime ended, Timmins 28, and Kapuskasing 15.

Where Geologists Will Work Each year the geologists of the tario Department of Mines spend the1 summer at work in various parts of the North Land, their work being of special value and assistance to prospectors. The Ontario Department of Mineées works in conjunction with the Domiâ€" nion Gsological branch in the field work done each summer and the result of the two programmes is of much general help to prospectors and mining men. The programme for the Domiâ€" nion fiéld men has not been announced for this year, but a preliminary sketch of what is to be attempted by the Ontario Department was given out last week. The Ontario Department exâ€" pects to have a busy summer. The provincial geologist, Prof. A. G. Burâ€" rows, plans to have several parties at work in the Ontario mineral fields as soon as the weather and other condiâ€" tions will permit. The programme for the summer includes mapping in eight sreas and also examinations of mineral occurrences in a number of localities. Most of the field work is of a nature to assist prospectors in the search for ore deposits. The work to be done this year will| be partly continuation of mapping alâ€"| ready inprogress and partly new work in areas that have not yet received | much attention. | One party will work in the area east of Heron Bay on the north shore of Lake Superior. There is a large greenâ€" tone area there which has features which should attract prospectors. The area has not received much attention and the mapping will serve to help those in the field and also stimulate new interest. Another party will work in an area north of Sault Ste. Marie. To fill in some blank spaces on the geological map of the country between Porcupine and Lake Abitibi will be the work of one survey party. There are several small areas here which have not yet been carefully mapped and an enâ€" deavor will be made to close these gaps. This survey will give additional details on the geology of several townships in this northern gold district. Another party, working further west along the Groundhog River, will map an rea about 40 miles south of the â€"C. N. R. The..Tashota area was studied last summer and the work will be continued this year. There is some prospecting activity here and the making of deâ€" tailed geological maps will be helpful to the operators. In the Lake of the Woods country the Mines Department will have a field party this year working east of Regina The work in the coal field on the Ontario Government Railway route to Hudson Bay will be continued this year. F. S. Dyer, who has been in charge of the geological work at Onakawana will be in this field again this summer. At Sudbury the Department will conâ€" tinue the study and mapping which was carried on last summer by Mr. Rickaby. A G. Burrows will again spend some time in the work at Sudâ€" bury, which is to cover a large area. Some important contributions to knowâ€" ledge of the structure of the Sudbury Basin are being made by this staff. The Ontario Department of Mines field work is of a very practical nature beâ€" ing planned to aid those who search for minerals. Charles Becigneul, among the senâ€" iors, and Allan Orr, for the juniors, were adjudged the winners in the anâ€" nual oratory contest at €Cobalt high school last week. The topic spoken on by Allan Orr was "The Canadian FPlag."
