MB. ANGUS CAMPBEL OX TRE X.0.4.4. EXECUTNE Much Interesting Business at Annual Meeting of Ontario Hockey Association. __‘The 32nd. annaal meeting of the @#!srio Hockey Association was held in the Temple Building, Toronto, on Saturday last. Two North Land hoâ€" ckey enthusiasts were among the deâ€" legatee present, these being Mr. Anâ€" gus Campbell, former president of the N.O.H.A., and Mr. Fred Thompson, of Liskié;fdv,’ representing the N.OH.A. Mr. Campbell is now one of the exâ€" ecutive of the O.H.A. for the ensuing scason. The following unanimously for §sON iâ€"â€" played senior hockey in the previous year to pay in the nearest place to his residence which ‘has a senior O.H.A. team wa cussion. The motion that the clubs be held responsible for the eligibility of its own players and if any player be founrd ineligible under the rule, he then automatically becomes suspendâ€" ed, was withdrawn. A motion that a junior player who wishes to play senior hockey may obâ€" tain permission from the O.H.A. exâ€" ecutive to join a senior elub provided his own club has not a senior team, was also withdrawn. An amendment urging that the ice surface on new rinks be not less than 70 to 75 feet wide and 170. to 175 feet long as a minimum was adopted. The motion that the official nets shall be known as the Le Suer net with a covered top extending 17 in. from the goal posts to the back bar on the line, and extending at the base along the ice 22 inches from the goal posts was passed without discussion. iThe motion to protect the goalâ€" keeper by allowing him to have a marked territory in which he could not be charged was lost, but the moâ€" tion to allow him to use a mark was cearried, No game in future will be allowed to go more than 30 minutes overtime. The honorarium of the secretary was carried at $1,200 and the treaâ€" surer at $200. Every club having a team in the O.H.A. senior series‘ must in future maintain a team in the junior O.H.A. series. THEF .A resolution of appreciation was unanimously passed to Mr. Francis Nelson, who has been O.H.A. repreâ€" sentative to the C.A.A.U., and Mr. Nelson was made a life member of the O.H.A. ‘This is the second case only of conferring a life membership, the Iate Mr. John Ross Robertson being the only other to be given this honor, and that was many years ago. REASON FOR WEAKNESS IN MONETA STOCK NOW Many have been enquiring as to the reason for the rscent weakness in Moâ€" neta Mine stock. It is not due to any thing about the property, but to the liquidation recently of the stock of one of the former directors. There has been a change in the directorate and the retiring member of the board by putting his shares on the market apparently in a bunch has eaused the apparent weakness of the stock. NOTABLE HIGHâ€"GRADE FIND AT THE PAYMASTER MINE This week a striking find of highâ€" grade ard free gold showings was made in the work in progress at the Paymaster mine. In the work at the east drift on the 200â€"ft level the specâ€" tacular showings were encountered. The whole face seemed spotted with £rae gold and the ore generally of unâ€" usually highâ€"grade. The management of the mine has not given out any inâ€" Formation regarding the find but seem to ‘be specially pleased at what has been encountered. *‘There may be something to announce in a few dave *‘ «aws Mr. A. 8. Fuller, the manâ€" days,"} says Mr. A. S ager of the property. Vol VI No. 49 xecutive :â€"Angus was defeated after a lengthy disâ€" officers were elected the O.H.A. this seaâ€" 8 V. N. T. HAS OFFER FOR ALL STOGK IN THE TREASURMY Meeting to Deal With the Matter to Be Held Tomorrow (Thursday). A syndicate of mining men havel made a cash offer for the purchase of the entire stock in the treasury of the V.N.T. This is one of the most imâ€" portant matters occurring in Poreuâ€" pine mining cireles for some time. There are approximately _ 600,000 shares in the V.N.T. treasury, and the: purchase of this block of stock would provide ample finances for the reâ€" sumption of active development work and the carrying on of operations to prove up the property, ‘The directors of the V.N.T. were to ‘have a special directors‘ meeting on Monday in Toâ€" ronto to deal with the matter, but it was found necessary to postpone this meeting until Thursday of this week. Accordingly on Thurs, Dee. 8th. there will be a special directors‘ meeting of the V.N.T. to decide as to whether or not the eash offer for treasury shares will be accepted. The matter is of more than passing interest to the Poreupine. . Everyâ€" body here would Hike to see the V.N. T. developed on an energetic and exâ€" tensive plan that would fully prove up the property. ~ The proposed sale of treasury stock would seem to offer a method for the required financing. If the terms and conditions are acceptâ€" able it will be generally hoped that the deal goes through at once, so that work will be resumed at an early date. Control of the V.N.T. remains in the hands of the Associated Gold Mines of Western Australia, with head ofâ€" fices in London, England. ‘The properties of the V.N.T. are deâ€" veloped to a depth of 600 feet. At this depth considerable tonnage of ore reâ€" serves are proven. :On the Vipond part of the property the general grade of the ore is said to be around $6.00 per ton, but on the North Thompson at depth a much higher grade ore is understood to have been encountered and opened up for a considerable dis-‘ tance. Further length of this ore body is expected to be proven by fur-! ther development. Using ‘the cores: from the Vipand and North Thompâ€" son properties in combination will mean a erade of ore for the mill that will give very good profits. There is also the general belief that on both the Vipond and North Thompson proâ€" perties work at greater depth will find even richer ore. This is the genâ€" eral finding in regard to Poreupine properties. ‘‘The deeper you go, the better the grade of ore‘‘ may well be said about most of the properties that have been worked in the Poreupine. Accordingly the development of the V.N.T. at depth will be Jooked for with very great interest. On Thursday of last week Mr. A. Belvin was found dead at the March Gold Mines property in Deloro. The deceased was employed as a woodâ€"cnutâ€" ter, and had apparently dropped dead while chopping wood. (The ecoroner was notified of the sudden death and made the necessary investigation, findâ€" ing death due to natural causes and an in@quest unnecessary. PLEASING AND SUCCESSFUL DANCES FOR DANCING CLUB The third regular weekly dance givâ€" en on Friday evening last in the Maâ€" sonic Hall by the Dancing Club provâ€" ed an outstanding and pleasant sucâ€" cess like the previous events given by this Club. There was a good attendâ€" ance, the music was excellent, a deâ€" lightful social time was enjoyed, and everything about the event was up to the best standards. The Dancing Club was organized a few weeks ago to provide weekly dances for the members, and the plan has proved unusually successful and pleasing in every way. In a few days the limit of membership that could be accommodated was reached, the plan of the Dancing Club appealing to all.} The suceess and pleasure of the first three dances is practically assured for the dances to be held each week durâ€" ing the season. The Dancing Club has already achieved a popularity and standing that assures its success, and the weekly dances will be among the most attractive social events of the season. Much of the success of the Daneing Club is, of course, due to the enthusiasm and ability »with which the Club has been organized and carâ€" ried on. The officers of the Dancing Clab are:â€"President, Mrs. C. G. Wilâ€" liams; viceâ€"president, Mrs. H. Darâ€" ling; Secretary, Mrs. H. H. Moore; Treasurer, Mrs. J. W. Foge.

Allaivre is said to have been on the way to the station at the time of his arrest and the police are of the opinion that it was his intenâ€" tion to leave the Camp. The charge against Allaire is based on informaâ€" tion to the effect that after attendâ€" ing a dance at Mattagami last Thursâ€" day evening he took the girl to his house in Moneta where the offence was committed. Allaire is in the Timâ€" mins police station cells and will come before Magistrate Atkinson tomorrow for preliminary trial. ‘On Saturday evening Mike Hern, of Timmins, was also arrested by the local police on a charge of attempting to commit a serious offence against a girl under sixteen years of age. The complainant in this ease is the girl is father. The girl‘s story is that she was induced to go to the house of the accused where the attempt to commit the offence was made, but she managâ€" ed to get away. The accused denies the charge. He will come before Maâ€" gistrate Atkinson for preliminary hearing tomorrow (Thursday.) Mr. D. Buchard, formerly of the Dome, and one of the most popular oldâ€"timers of the Poreupine, was a visitor to Camp this week. Mr. Buâ€" chard is now at Copper Cliff where he has an important position with the nickel company there. His many friends here â€"gave him very hearty welcome on his visit here. All children must leave the ice at 9 Was with ‘‘Eddio‘‘ Powers for Severâ€" al Seasons Past and Has a Fine Record. FRANK ALLEN TO COACH TIXMINS HOCKFY THAN Mr. Frank Allen, of Toronto, arâ€" rived in the Camp this week to take charge of the Poreupine Hockey Team for the season. Mr. Allen is looked up on as a decided "‘find‘* for coaching the local boys, having a long experâ€" ience and an allâ€"round knowledge of sport with a special insight into the Hockey game. For some seasons past he has been with "‘*Eddic‘‘ Powers, and this is about all the introduction or récommendation that will be conâ€" sidered necessary by those who know «©*Eddie"‘ Powers or have followed his ‘exccllenr work in sport. Mr. Allen had charge of De La Sale boys last season and Aid very effective work. He is personally acquainted with some of the boys on the Poreupine team and these speak in the highest terms of his abilâ€" ity and his good qualities generaily. Mr, Allen will find a lot of good maâ€" terial here; he will find a general enâ€" thusiasm for good, clean hockey; and also there will be a disposition to do all possibe to give him support and coâ€"operaton in his work. Because it is felt that he has the knowledge and e¢â€" perience, there is a general feeling, that with the array of talent here in hockey, this coming season should be the best and brightest for the Porâ€" cupine. es INTERESTING PROGRAMME AT CALEDONIAN MEETING The regular meeting of the Caledoâ€" nian Society of Timmins will be held in the 1.0.0.F.

FINLANDER KILLED AT DOME BURIED HERE SUNDAY The funeral took place here on Sunâ€" day of Waino Alini, who was accident! ally killed at the Dome Mine on Monâ€" day of last week." Among his fellow countrymen here the late Waino Alini was highly regarded, and the funeral on Sunday was very largely attended. Alini came to his death through a plank breaking and letting him fall down a shaft, a distance of some forty two feet. Death was instanteous. The ‘coroner‘s jury found the death to be accidental with no blame attached to anyone. The deceased had only been working in the Poreupine for a few weeks, having been employed for some years previously at the Creighton mines. 7 NOTHING MORF KNOWN . ABOUT MISSING MAIL BAG So far as can be learned, there is nothing more known regarding the mail bag lost, strayed or stolen last month while en route to Toronto. This mail bag is understood to have conâ€" tained registered mail to the value of $10,000.00 or more, the chief item beâ€" ing a package of currency sent by the Timmins branch of the Imperial Bank to the head office in Toronto. This latter package was insured in the usual way, so will not be any loss to the Bank. Postal authorities and Dominion deâ€" tectives are said to have been busy since the disappearance of the bag, but so far as the public is concerned nothing is known to have come from the efforts thus made. The local poâ€" lice have not been asked for any assisâ€" tance indeed up to last week they had no information about the matter exâ€" cept what was in the newspapers or im common street talk. The object of: the authorities, no doubt, in trying to conceal all information about the loss of the registered mail bag was to make the chances better for elues as to the mystery. It looks now, howâ€" ever, as if the chances would have been better if the services of the local police in the North Land had been seâ€" cured as soon as the loss was discovâ€" ered. (General report has it that the missing bag has been traced as far as Porquis Junction, but there is no ofâ€" ficial announcement to this effect,â€"or to any other effect, for that matter, Up.to noon toâ€"day there were six pools to hear from and Mr. MeDonâ€" ald was leading by 39.

In Nova Scoâ€" tia, Prince Edward Island and Sasâ€" katehewan also there was not a single Conservative elected, the seats going either Liberal of Progressive. All the Toronto seats, as usual, went Conservative. Tommy CHurch won his seat as expected by a large majority. North York elected Hon. Mackenzie King by a good majority. .Premier Meighan went down to personal deâ€" feat in his own riding, Portage La Prairie, the seat going to a Progressâ€" ive or Farmer candidate. Hight other cabinet ministers were defeated, five of them in Quebec. About $86,000.00 â€"of. this year‘s taxes have been paid in up to Monday of this week. Only about $6000.00 in municipal taxes remains to be paid. This is a good record for the town taxpayers and for the town tax eolâ€" lector. During the past few weeks many garnishees ‘have been made, esâ€" pecially for income taxes due the town. About 135 odd garnishees have been made, the total amount of taxes involved being about $3500.00. McENANEY MINE LIKELY TO REâ€"OPEN FIRST OF YEAR The deal for the Hollinger Reserve mine near Timmins has been comâ€" pleted as suggested in The Advance last week. The MeEnaney Mines Com pany, the company owing and cor trolling the property formenly known as the Hollinger Reserve, is now conâ€" trodled by English and African minâ€" ing interests. It is understood that the property will be reâ€"opened at the beginning of the new year and an exâ€" tensive exploration and development programme carried out. â€" The Evening Classes here under the auspices of the Public Sehool Board are meeting with very striking sucâ€" cess this year. Last year these classes were very successful but this year‘s record has last year‘s completely beatâ€" en. The attendance this year is much greater than last year â€"and the interâ€" est is unusually well sustained. CLASS IN MINING LIKELY TO START HERE SOON It is practically settled now that there will be a class in Mining, in adâ€" dition to the number of classes now under way. Several have asked for a course in Mining, and to these the vreâ€" ply of Principal C. S. Carter has been that if a sufficient number wished the course it would be added. Those deâ€" siring the class at once got busy and an enrolment of ten was very quickly secured for the Mining Class. Others will likely be added to this number shortly, so the Mining Class will be well attended like the other courses. Several young mining engineers are taking advantage of the‘ opportunity of this course to add to their grasp of Mining subjects. All the classes are in charge of experts in their lines." Wire received at 3.30 p.m. says Mc Donald leading now by about 100 maâ€" jority with few places to hear from. BUT ABOUT $6000.00 IN THIS YEAR‘S TAXES PAID SPECIAL With Six Polls to be Heard from Labourâ€"U.F.O. Has Small Majority. McDONALO LEADS BV 33 1N TEMISKAMING RIOING The result in the riding of Temisâ€" kaming is counted as still in doubt up to the time of going to press. Reâ€" turns received about ten o‘clock this morning suggested that Mr. MceBachâ€" ren was leading by a majority of 30, with Mr. McDonald gaining in some of the polls then being heard from. At noon MceDonald was given the lead with an estimated majority of 39, and the chances about even for this lead to be increased. Mr. MeEachren was in second place but with a fair fight ing chance for making up the deficit by the votes polled in the polls not reâ€" turned. Mr. Kennedy was estimated as about 150 short of Mr. (MecEachâ€" ren‘s vote.. Mr. Bertrand‘s vote apâ€" parently will not exceed 150, the figâ€" ures given so far totalling 114 to 125 votes in the riding for this Independâ€" ent Liberal Farmer candidate. It will likely be a day or two before the result for Temiskaming will be deâ€" finitely known, and in the meantime it is conceded to be a very close battle with honours fairly even. The present chances will sugzest that the former member, Mr. MeDonald, will again be elected ‘but by a very small majority. In the byâ€"election he had a majority of over 2000. Mr. MeEachren made a good run, as will be noted by the reâ€" turns, and may even yet win out. Mr. Kennedy proved a surprisingly good candidate, polling a vote that shows the impression he made on the consâ€" tituency in the short time he had for the campaign. O.B.U.
