The gong rang, and the Gold Diggers were the new champions of The Vigilants tried to press from the faceâ€"offi, but couldn‘t get away. Four men were thrown forward to break any Timmins rushes, and in a@a vain attempt to get through, Lortie went in, but Orfankos saved. Auger tried one but again the Greek was bomb proof. A. Saunders came in, but Hodnett was not letting any more pass him. Krupâ€" ka, Arundell, Richer and Lortie came in together, playing nice combination, but failed to beat Orfankos. With a little over five minutes gone, Lortie came in with Arundell, and on the centre man‘s pass, scored the third for Timmins. Tke Vigilants were weakenâ€" ing, but were playing gamely. With slightly over seven minutes gone, Auger came in with Krupka and made it four for Timmins. The Vigilants threw their whole team, excepting only Orâ€" fankos on the forward line to get through. Taylor went to the box for a trip. The Gold Diggers switched the play. Krupka got through, but missed an open net.

The closest checking seen here this winter develâ€" oped, until Krupka broke away, and with the period nearly four minutes old scored the first goal ‘of the game. The Vigilants transferred the play at the faceâ€"off, and tried hard to equalize. Lortie went to the box for a trip. Auger got the puck and came in on Orfan‘kos, who saved. Auger again tried to beat the Greek, but couldn‘t tally. Porter went to tha box for a trip, leawng the locals two men shy. The Bay came down strong, and play was held in the Timmins end.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, 0O NTAR Other Matachewan properties are also referred to in the report. An opticn was taken on controlling inâ€" terest in a group of nineteen claims in Hind4:sâ€"townchip, Matachewan area, abcut three miles ncorthwest of the Ashley mine, and an operating comâ€" pany known as McGill Gold Mines, Limited, was formed. Diamond drillâ€" ing and extensive trenching was done in the vicinity of rich goldâ€"bearing "float‘" in an effort to Iccats the vein from whith it originated. Althcugh two quartz veins were uncovered in this work, their character still left some doubt as to the origin of the "float". Further work will be done in the coming season. The Mcosher group of claims in Maâ€" tachewan was dropped at the end of the year following inconclusive deveiâ€" cpment results. Surface trenching was done on a group of nine claims in Tyrrell township, previously staked for the corporation, but no finds of imâ€" portance were made. Noth of note occourred in connection with Mincor Exploration â€" and Develoriment â€"Co., Limited, during the year. Toronto Evening Telegram:â€"There is no real public demand for nationalâ€" ization of radio. The radio listeners do not want to see their license fees treblâ€" ed, or perhaps multiplied six times as in Australia, to provide them with something they do not want. They do not want programmes dictated by an autocratic board that will give the public not what they want, but what the board thinks is good for them. They see no more justification for naâ€" tionalizing radio than for nationalizâ€" ing the press, which can also be "an instrument of nationâ€"building with educational value difficult to estimate." The future development will be greatly facilitated when electrical powâ€" er is available abcut March 1. Unforâ€" tunately, delay was occasioned by unâ€" usual scarcity of snow, which preventâ€" ed hauling of heavy equipment.

"Sinking of a threeâ€"compartment inâ€" clined shaft, in the footwall of the Ashley vein, was started in March, 1931," says M. F. FPairlie, managing en; gineer. *"The shaft was completed to a depth of 500 feet, and more than 1,â€" 200 feet of crossâ€"cutting and drifting on four levels lbefore the end of the yBar. The results of this development work have been highly satisfactory on each of the four levels so far opened. Unfortunately, lack of time prevented extensive lateral Gevelopment, with the result that it has not yet been posâ€" sible to verify the diamond drill reâ€" sults for more than 360 feet on any one level, though diamond drilling had preâ€" viously proven the continuaticn of the Ashley vein for more than 1,200 feet in length and with commercial gold values continuing at both north and south ends. Development work so far accomplished has more than verified the diamond drill results in the same horizon, as to widths and assays. Developments on ths rroperty of Ashley Gold Mining Corporation Limitâ€" ed, according to President J. P. Watâ€" son, were so favourable thaf it was deâ€" ciaed to bring the mine into producâ€" tion as quickly as possible by the erecâ€" tion of a mill with a capacity of 150 tons of ore per day, and a large part of the material is now on the properâ€" ty. It is expected that the plant will be in production toward the end of the year. In the annual report of the Mining Corporation of Canada as presented last week there are many interesting points. For instance it is shown that the operating profit of $458,421.00 for the year is the highest since 1927. There will be special interest in this area in the references to the favourâ€" able results at the Ashley Gold Mines, the Matachewan property of the Minâ€" ing Corporation. srd Periodâ€"Lortie from Arundell, Timmins, 5.15; Auger from Krupka, Timmins, 7.20; Richer from McKinâ€" non, Timmins, 18.52; Arundell from Auger, Timmins, 19.35.

According to his evidence and affidavits presented at the fire marâ€" shal‘s inquiry. Soltynski alleges that W. E.

Amherstburg Echo:â€"From many paints of Ontario come stories of muniâ€" cipal financial distress because of the failure of ratepayers to pay their taxes. No doubt this is due in many cases to the fact that collectors of taxes are tax receivers, not tax collectors. There‘s such a thing as official notice to pay, followed by no attempt to force payâ€" ment, and there the trouble begins. Much mawky sentimentalism in the matter of distraints for taxes has got more than one municipality in trouble. Officials in some of the defaulting municipalities of Essex county are now talking of starting a vigorous tax colâ€" lecting campaignâ€"something they should have undertaken at the beginâ€" ning of trouble. bus washer, who confessed to setting fire to the Sudbury Transit Company garage on September 6, of last year, to have a plea of "not guilty" entered on the records and the trial proceed. He was sentenced for arson. "You have been in this country for only a short time," added His Worâ€" ship in passing sentence, "and I have no doubt you will be sent back to the country you came from after your term is served. I am going to recommend that." "You are not the type of citizen we want to come to this country. My sentence is you be imprisoned in Portsâ€" mouth Penitentiary for four years," were the concluding remarks of Magisâ€" trate J. S.
