We learn that she was malnly responsible for a great deal of work in connection with costume designing and the painting of the. staze scenery, and should have been given prominenc» in this respect. On the second night of the play she was presented with a bouquet of roses from the students for her work with them. The mountains painteg on the back drop were the work of a former Schumacher teacher, Miss Alma Laforest (now Mrs. A. Jones), but the side scenery was the work of the committee working Miss Wilkins.

These claims were prospecting very thoroughly before the fall freezeâ€" up. Good assays were obtained, but the veins were very narrow and the valus zones very limited in length. The work done was recorded and it is possible we will investigate these claims further. Early last summer we arranged a deal whereby some of our holdings under the northeast part of Porcupine Lake were grouped with other claims, lyving north of the lake, for exploration purposes. A working option was taken by this company whereby we obligated ourselves to spend a minmum of $25 000.00 on this group before March ist, 1941. Diaâ€" mond drilling was started in June and nineteen holes were put down on the land area of the group before the end of the year. This drilling was comâ€" pletely negative both as to favourâ€" able formations and as to values. As soon as ice conditions would permit, the portion of the group under the lake was drilled and at the time of writing this report our expenditures on this option have been concluded. This portion of the work also gave entirely negative results and the opâ€" tion is being abandoned and the grouping of the claims will be autoâ€" matically dissolved."
