Millheads are estimated to range between .14 and .15 ozs. per ton milled, with April averaging .144 ozs. A conâ€" siderable volume of mill feed has been drawn from the surface stock pile during the past three months and awhout 1,000 ozs. of gold have been abâ€" sorbed in the mill circuit, thus affectâ€" ing gold recovery during this period. At the annual meeting of Hoyle Gold Mines, Ltid. the president, B. W. Lang, siated that the mill is now treating 510 tons per day and that this rate will be advanced to 540 tons shortly. Operating profits between $25,000 and $30,000 monthly are being realized, the official said. Ore reserves for six years, at a daily milling rate of 600 tons, have been indicated, and ther»e is the possibility that nearly 2,000,000 tons of ore are available above the 7°)â€"ft. horizon. Production will apâ€" proximate $1,000,000 annually. Mr. Lang made the following statement: "The new flotationâ€"cyanidation mill, completed late in January, is now treating an average of 510 tons per Mill Tonnage Advancing, According to Annual Reâ€" port. "Operating costs have been reduced t beiow the previous estimate of $3.25 per | ton and i: is possible that costs may be reduced to, or below, $3 per ton. Such favorable costs are being secured under the direction of J. M. Cunningâ€" ‘hamâ€"Dunlep, mine manager, and his l staff which includes C. T. Penny, mine superintendent;: George Mustard, chief engineet; L. J. Lichty, mill superinâ€" tendent, and F. C. Sullivan, accoun:â€" Aarnt. "The west drift on the 400â€"ft. level has been exentded a distance of 175 feet since the first of the year with chip samples averaging .19 oz. and muck samples .14 oz. per ton. This drift is in the conglomerate bed loâ€" cated about three feet from the footâ€" wall, and the face is now about ‘50 ft. from the west boundary. The results in this drift indicate that a substantial tomnage may be added to the indicatâ€" ed ore figures referred to above. Later in the year development will be startâ€" ed in the block of ground between the 600 and 1,800â€"ft. levels where only a limited amount of development work has been completed. As the property covers an area of over 1,200 acres with a length along the favourable contact of about two miles, a number of years "The company started ~production with 1,300,000 tons of indicated ore with a cut grade of .124 oz. per ton and an averaze width in excess of 40 feet. This tomnage is located above the 700â€"ft. horizon in the favourable conglomerate bed and is equal to six years‘ supply based on mining 600 tons per day. This tonnage might be inâ€" creased to approximately 2,000,000 tons with a cut grade of .114 oz., by inâ€" eluding a large voluwme of marginal material. About 10 per cent of the orse hoisted is removed at the sor.ing belt before going to the crushers, and this sorting operation may make it possible to mine profitably large tonnages of ore not now included in the indicated ore figure of 1,300,000 tons.

"At the preliminary hearing on Wednesday morning Mike Skakoon was committed for trial hy a higher court on the charge of the murder of Mrs. Bernadette or Bernice Leake on the evening of May 20th at 114 Mapleo street north," said The Advance ten years3s ago. "The evidence submitted at the preliminary hearing was much the same as that outlined by witnesses How Cheon, a young Chinaman who had been some three years in Timmins, died ten years ago at St. Mary‘s Hosâ€" pital as a result of gunshot injuries sustained. How Cheon and a friend, W. Ss. George, of the Prince of Wales hotel, went out near the cemetery to enjoy some target practice, taking a gun along with them. While humorâ€" ously using the gun as a club for playâ€" ing golf, How Cheon had the ill forâ€" tune to discharge the gun, receiving a nasty wound in the stomach. W. S. George, as soon as the accident hapâ€" pened, secoured medical assistance and the injured man was promptly conveyâ€" ed to St. Mary‘s Héspital for treatâ€" ment. There the injuries received were found to be not quite so serious as at first expected. How Cheon at first did not appear to care much whether he lived or died. He did not follow out the instructions of doctors and nurses, and so was not considered a mode! patient. When not very closely watched he would attéetmpt to interâ€" fere with the bandages around the inâ€" jured part of the abdomen, and also. he was inclined to get out of bed at every opportunity. A week before his death his condition developed into a serious situation and little hope was held for his recovery. l Horace was sent to his room for taking forbidden cake from the cupâ€" board. His mother, thinking to make his punishment more impressive, went to his room, and, after all was forâ€" given, said: "Now, Horace, what did I punish you for?" "Well, ma, I like that! I‘ve been kept in bed all afterncoon, and now you don‘t know what you did it for!" â€"Exchange. North Bay Nugget:â€"When roadhog meets roadhog, says Prairie Wool, it serves ‘em both right! The big feature of the weekly lunâ€" cheon of the Timmins Ktwanis Club ten years ago was the address by Kiâ€" wanian Reg. Smith, descriptive of his reeent trip to the south by motor and of the Kiwanis International convenâ€" tion held at Miami, Plorida. Members cf the club agreed that the account of the convention was one of the best reports ever given to the club of a similar event and that it was both inâ€" spiring and interesting. In introducâ€" ing the account of the Kiwanis copyâ€" vention the speaker briefly but interâ€" estingly described the trip down to Miami. He referred to the opening services of the convention as most impressive. He traced the general progress of the convention in very inâ€" teresting and effective way, and showed how carefully and ably the event was planned and carried through. A benefit dance held ten years ago in the Mcelniyre Recration hall under the auspices of the Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion proved withâ€" out doubt the pepularity of the organâ€" ization and the generous support the public is ready to accord to the worthy cause for which the event was held The purpose for which the proceeds from the benefit dance was planned was to assist the families of certain members of the Auxiliary in need.

After giving three professional recitâ€" als which won him instant success in Boston, New York and Chicago. Chavâ€" chavadze resumed his charity work, and gave a concert to a packed hall in Philadelphia which resulted in nearly $1,500 being sent to Refugees of Engâ€" land. On May 11 he collaborated with Miss Lily Pons and Albert Spalding in a concert at Stamford which raised some $5.000 for Greek War Relief. Worker For Refugees Count Mouravieff‘s life has likewise always been closely connected with relief work. In the last war his parâ€" ents presented a hospital for British officers to the British Government, which was equipped, run, and mainâ€" tained by his mother. The result is the tour which George Chavchavadze is now undertaking for the Fund, which will enable Canadian musicâ€"lovers to hear one of Europe‘s greatest pianist whose engagements in Europe were always so numerous that he has been unable to accept any onâ€" gagements in North America since he last played in Canada in 1927. Concerts Raised $40,000 Last spring he cancelled all his Furopean concerts on account of the war, and offered his services to the British Red Cross. He gave 25 conâ€" certs for that cause in England, the last of which was attended by members of the Royal family. At the end it was found that nearly $40,000 had been raised. Both these young men lost their homes in the Russian revolution of 1917. Both made successful careers in London since then, and both witnessed the first effects of the bombing on the civilian population. Knowing from exâ€" perience what it is to be suddenly homeless and penniless, the plight of the air raid victims made them deâ€" termined to do what they could to help and the Queen‘s Fund was the answer to their plans.

Starting at Montreal on June 1, the tour has involved four months‘ preparation.

The International Plowing Match held at St. Thomas last year set a new record in the number of entries and attendance. The most coveted prize offered was that for the special class sponsored by the Salada Tea Company and open to all horse plowmen in Jointer Plow sod classes, who had qualified at branch matchesâ€"a six weeks‘ motor trip to the west coast and back. It is a coincidence that the trip, along with the gold and silver medals for first and second prizes in this class, was won by two neighbour plowmen, John Lister (left) and Harold Picket (right) both of Hornby, Ontario. Their jJourney was planned under the guiding hand of J. A.
