A few days ago the Recorder re marked that Mr. Gawéy was not at Cobalt for his seems. the efforts of the case. According. to the Free "the concession of the north-west for- ty acres of the township of Cobalt, granted to the Wright Minine com- pany, -in which appear the names of the illustrious R. R. Gamey, M.P.P,, for Manitoulin, C, M. Wright and oth. ers has gone by the hoard and Mr. Gamey has heen let down by his friends in a little friendly move. "The north-west forty acres of the town side of Cobalt was a concession that had been sousht for by an Otta- wa syndicate. This syndicate made an offer of royalties of ten, twenty-five and fifty per cent. The commission in- sisted on royalties of fifteen, twenty- five and fifty per cent., but the Otta- wa company in which were Thomas Birkett, ex-M.P., W. D. Ho~~ K.C., A. A.

Gamey's memorable state- ment _in the legislature. The Ottawa right-of-way deal was shown up by the Free Press which threatened furs ther exposurss, and the government in self-defence and to head off more criticism, was forced to include the Gamey concession in its surrender to public opinion. "There was another private sale of {lots in the townsite to W. R. Smyth, the conservative member of the legis- lature, and Mr. Black, df the Sault: Thi: was of twelve lots at a price about £6,000. Mr. Smyth: has now heen notified nog to work his claim until the purchase price is paid. He had been proceeding with his workings of surface 'rights in blissful forgetfulness it is claimed of a payment due." This is the way the government that shouted so loudly that the peo- ple's property must he sold hy publie competition, was handing it around to personal and varty friends, till the exposure came. Mr. Smith, it will he remembered, is the Pentleman who swore he followed Mf. Gamey to see if he went into a certain piano fae- tory on one occasion. He also provid- ed the money that Mr. Gamey did not have to hand over to the judges who demanded that it be paid in.
