One section 300 ft. long was opened up west of one of the major faults and the expectation is that this block would average below mine average grade. Widths were fair, comparatively, 20 ft. or more being common, Other ore sections have since been found, determining the downâ€" ward extension of the ore zone and enâ€" couraging the decision to go into proâ€" duction.

Mrs. Legault said that it all started when young Legault began to fight with her small daughter. While young Legault gave her daughter a ‘black eye, Mrs. Secornd stood in the doorway urgâ€" ing her progeny to further dire deeds. She went over to remonstrate with the woman, Mrs. Legault said.

The government was criticized for this anâ€" nouncement. It was said by some that the wellâ€"toâ€"do were favoured, their children ‘being transported, while the children of parents who were poor were sidetracked. ‘The truth of the matter seems to be that instead of favouring the rich, the British are favouring the poor. A rich man‘s children also have to travel at their own riskâ€"withsout convoy. On the other hand children sent out by the British government not only have their passage paid, ‘but also they are protected by convoys. Later in the evening, said Mrs. Bourâ€" lage, she went over to Benoit‘s house to call her huskand home. As she was standing at the door Benoit suddenly hit her. The spectacles she was wearâ€" ing were broken as was her watch. The woman produced the pieces of broken glass, the watch and a bloodâ€"stained smock which, she said, she had been weatring, Benoit‘s story which was backed by the evidence of at laest one impartial witness, was sumewhat different. Myrs. Bcurdage and ‘her husband came over to his house, uninvited, because they knew a party was in pro’g'ress, he said. His wife and Mrs. Bourdage had some words over at the Bourdage home and his wife came home. Later they saw Mrs. Bourdage, who had been drinking, come "staggering" across the street. He told her to go home and pushed her out of the house. She lost balance and fell off the porch. It was then, perâ€" haps, that she was injured, the witnessâ€" es suggested.

Interesting figures have been compilâ€" ed of the recent mass air raids over Britain. The best day‘s "bag‘"‘ for Briâ€" tain was last Thursday when 180 Nazi planes were shot down. This is the reâ€" cord for number of planes destrovyedâ€" a record that may well be counted as a world record. On the same day the British lost 34 planes shot down by the Germans.

That is, the Gerâ€" mans lost one out of every four of the planes they used in the engagement. On Sunday the British only lost 16 planes, and the majority of the pilots of these were able to land safely by use of their parachutes. While more planes were shot down on Thursday than on Sunday, the percentage of German dosses were much â€"higher on Sunday than on Thursday. (On Sunday over 25 per cent of the German planes enâ€" gaged were shot down, while on the previcus Thursday, as there were at least 2,000 or more Nazi planes engagâ€" ed the German loss was only around 9 per cent.

More interesting is the fact that the mine management had not suspectâ€" ed the possibilities of gold at this point on the property and may now do some underground exploration in a direction hithertobefore considered unfavourable. "I understand this man got into a place and got drinking and he passed this bill," the Magistrate said. Dore said that he expected to face charges in Kirkland Lake for being in possessionâ€"of the two revolvers. Youthful Joy Rider Carlo Halonen, 16 years of age, who looked much younger than his age, was sentenced to three months hard labour following his plea of guilty on a charge of taking a car owned by J.

Careless Driving Raymond St. Denis was given the alternative of a fine of $10 and costs or a jail term of ten days. Herbert Hoelke said that he was driving west on Wilâ€" son avenue. He was making a left hand turn to Riverside Drive when St. Denis came over the bridge at a high speed. He ploughed right into him. The accused man offered no defence although he had pleaded ‘"not guilty‘". He did not even offer to tell his own story, Dismissal was given in a charge of careless driving against Edmund Carey. The charge was laid by a Mr. Geasson who said that the cause of the accident was the high rate of speed at ‘which Carey entered the intersection of Spruce and Kirby streets,. His evidenc«e was corroborated by that of his wife and by Mrs. Lark who was a passenger n the Geasson car. Carey suid that he was driving about twenty miles an hour. He did not see the Geasson car until he reached the intersection. He believed Geasson was travelling at between 35 and 40 miles an houtr: Three months in jail was sentence imposed on Gustave Dore, of Kirkland Lake, who was convicted of, having an American dollar bill which td been raised to a fifty, in his possession. Corroboratory evidence was given by Carl Oksanen who added that Hoelke‘s car was on its own side of the road at the time of the accident. Several more defence witnesses were heard and the Magistrate remarked: "I tan‘t make out what happened:, Tt would ‘tha 6. @ . nice ‘éxaminaition ‘ for discovery, | dismissed." (From Northern Miner) Five or six years ago a boy of 15, rambling around one of the principal Porcupine gold mining properties, acciâ€" dentally uncovered a showing of high grade gold ore. With more astuteness than would be expected of a youngster of his age he aecided to keep the inâ€" formation to himself, for his own beneâ€" fit. From time to time he mined the rich stuff and sold it to buyers of illicit gold in the camp, while carrying in the operation so quietly and secretly that the mine workmen did not suspect anything. The location was remote from the actual underground workings and for this reason the boy could help himself without detection. Dore said that he had made a stateâ€" ment to police in which he admitted tiat he had been in possession of the bill. However, he did not raise the number from one to fifty, he said. The bill and two revolvers were given to him by another fellow to keep for him. Says Porcupine Youth Made Money from Mine Postmaster ©. H.
