Spectacular Discovery of Gold at Naybob Mine A party of seventeen, headed by Prceâ€" sident R. J. Naylor, of Rochester and Toronto, spent a few hours in Timmins cn Saturday inspecting the spectacuâ€" lar gold discovery made at Naybob mine last week. The strike was made on the 700â€"foot level in a formation known as mariposite. Minec officials declare that visible gold can be seen all through the new vein, which according to many Ccxâ€" pericnced observers, is similar in every respect to the vein structure at Kerrâ€" Addison mine. In view of this fact no assay reports are being made until such time as bulk samples can be taken in the mill. There appears to be little doubt that the new find will guarantee the future of Naybob and the company officials are most optimistic. In addition to Prosident Naylor, the party on Saturday included the followâ€" ing:â€"Charles Wright, New York; Ben F. Crowley, New York lawyer; Howard Hansell, of Toronto, viceâ€"president of Polaris mine; Brad Streit, Toronto; John Hackett, Toronto; Jeff Bowcock, Toromto: James Munro, financial ediâ€" tor of The Toronto Star; John Conâ€" roy, New York; William Mitchell, brother of John Mitchell, manager of Augite mine; L. Clayton, New York; CGeorge Clements, A. Higman, W. Bert, Tom Denon, George Jackson, George Pecker, all of Toronto. Rich Vein Intersected on 700â€"Foot Level Last Week.

W. principal of Timmins High a: tional School, in an addres: Lions Club last Thursday nii The new course of study introduced into the high schools of Ontario last year, will prove of definite advantage in helping students to determine the work they will be best suited for in Lions Club last Thursday nigit. In the past, Mr. Tanner claimed, it had been the practice for all students regardless of their particular aptitude for any one line of endeavour, to be taught a regular course for entrance to University. Only a small percentage of students in any years continued their studies into university and the reâ€" mainder in most cases left school withâ€" cut any particular qualification to take the positions to which they were naâ€" turally suited. Under the present system the first form is regarded as an exploratory year, during which the student has a chance to choose for himself a course of study that will coincide with his plans or ambitions for the future. Mr. Tanner explained in Gdetail the syllabius of the new course and pointed out the many advantages it holds over the former stereotyped sysiem. . At the conclusion of his remarks he was tendâ€" ered a hearty vote of thanks. The school orchestra were also presâ€" ent for the occasion and renderead a number of selections under the leaderâ€" ship of C. G. Chapman. Individual members of the orchestra also contriâ€" buted several instrumental and vocal numbers. The programme was enthusiâ€" astically applauded.
