and one at Northeast Bay on Lower Abitibi Lake, and all are in the Porcuâ€" pine belt. I honestly believe that there B another rich gold belt just north of us because this new Steel township find and cthers in those parts are about 40 miles farther north than Timmins and Poreupine camp are. There is a road alâ€" ready travelled for about threeâ€"quartâ€" ers of the way from Timmins to Abiâ€" tibi Lake. I suggest that prospectors turn their attention to the country not for these big mines, those cities would not be so big. Would not Hitier be overjcyed if he and his followers equld own Ncrthern Ontario?

T\ don‘t believe there is another province or country ir the world toâ€"day where a big majority cof the citizens have such hatred of their own holdings like Southâ€" ern Ontario has against Northern Onâ€" tario.

Now let‘s go back to where I have started. This rich gold strike in Steel township lies directly north of some islands in Abitibi Lake where gold was found durâ€" ing 1906, and if I am right, the late| Noah Timmirs and the Moshers had{ scmethingâ€"tc do with them. Directiy‘ south a few miles across the lake they| Rad another gold property. Myself and party had a good look and it was these same gold finds that helped to knock| it into my head that there must be big bodies of paying gold somewhere in the North. Then on our trip we came to Nigiht Hawk Lake soon after gold hnad beer found on the islands there. Now they have rich finds on the main la.nd' at both Night Hawk and Alsitibi Lakes and both places are at Northeast Bay, one at Northest Bay of Night Hawk igry w»store Dby limimin Man.

A few minutes after six o‘clock last night a man walked into the Pic Holt: jewellery shop on Third avenue, asking for something that took Harold Millar the jeweller in chairge, to the rear ol the store.

After Charette had left the jewellery shop, Miller noticed that two watches were missing. By that time the visitor had disappeared down the street. Polâ€" lice were called immediately.

Until their estimate is received, the rate cannot se struck. Despite the rise of threeâ€"quarters of a million dollars in assessment this year, it is generally believed here that there will have to be at least a slight rise in the tax rate. The town itseli will show a deficit from last year that will have to be made up. The taking away by the provincial government of the right of the town to collect income tax, and the taking by the province of twoâ€"fifths of the police court fines has reduced those sources of revenue to the point where the governiment‘s grant of an amount equal to one mill of taxaâ€" th will show will have away by t Despite Increase in Assessâ€" ment Taxes Not Likely to be Down This Year.

The ‘flu this year has been of a very mild type and there have been few serious cases of the disâ€" ease in Ontario. The disease, however, appears to be more serious in itsâ€"efâ€" fects when it attacks the Indians and it is likely on this account that special precautions are being taken to prevent the spread of the disease among the Indians.
