It is intended apparently only to relieve.claunâ€"holders ~from â€" two years‘ work this year when labor and other conditions are so unfavorable. The terms of the Orderâ€"inâ€"Council will be to the effect that where the Orderâ€"inâ€"Council of last year has reâ€" sulted in the necessity of two years‘ assessment work this year, the claim holder will be required to do the work this year that would have ordinarily been done last year, the time to do this year‘s assessment work being exâ€" tended until next year. Next yvear a further extension along similar lines may be made. mitting the extension of assessment work for a year was made by the Deâ€" partment of Mines, The Advance pointed out that many prospectors, while believing the Government had honestly tried to give a benefit, still thought that nothing but disadvantage tould result from the Order. _ This 'm\vpuint has practically been proven correet this year. _ Prospectors and others interested have been emphatie in expressing their opinion that under conditions this year it would be next to impossible to follow the law this year and do the 1917 and 1918 work in this one year. Resolutions from Boards of Trade and other bodies have been submitted to the Government asking for a further extension. Deâ€" putations have appealed to the Minisâ€" ter to the same effect. Some have gone so far as to suggest that all assessment work should be extended until after the war. _ But all were practically agreed that two â€" years‘ work could not well be done this year at any rate. Hon. G. Howard Fergusâ€" on was in the Camp some days ago and several prospectors and others inâ€" terviewed him awhout the matter. Apâ€" parently he was anxious to do the best thing for all concerned, but none can blame him if he were a little slow to accept the ceastly preferred advice, when it was the acceptance of just such advice last year that made the present problem. â€" However, Hon. Mr. Ferguson could see the foree of the argument against two years‘ assessâ€" ment work in the one yearâ€"and that one year this year when labor is so searce and supplies so high in price. As a consequence he promised that an Orderâ€"inâ€"Council will be passed reâ€" ALL CASES BUT ONE REMANDED OQON THURSDAY.

For some reason, or a number of reasons, the citizens of Timmins have displayed no enthusiasm over the offer of the Board of Trade to fence, plough and prepare a fiveâ€"acre section of good sarden land to be divided into plots of 50 by 100 feet, the only cost to the applicant being $10, this amount to be used to help pay ‘the cost of fencing and preparing the land.

Up to date, however not a single honestâ€"toâ€"goodness appliâ€" cation has been received, though there are a number of enquiries made to W. S.

The P. 8. boys have some good baseball talent, and believe that they ean do to the Mine Managers what the Mine Managers did to the Business Men on May 24th. All they ask is a chance, and they would be pleased to hear from the Mine Men in the interests of fun and patriotism. ‘If the Mine Managers have recovered from their game on the 24th they should write, or eall on the Principal of the Public Sehool who will no doubt be pleased to arrange : game for the King‘s Birthday or some other date.

Timmins Fire Department has a happy way of doing well whatever it may undertake,â€"from the fighting of a fire to the staging of a successful social event. â€" Consequently, no one axnected anything else than a pleasant and successful event on Friday evenâ€" ‘ng when the Firemen‘s Annual Ball was held in the Masonic Hall. _ And none were disappointed in this, for the ball on the ball on the eveaing of the 24th of May is generally conceded to be the best social event of its kind held in the Camp this year. There were about 70 couples present and all had a most enjoyable time. The Appel orchestra supplied good music, and the dancing was much enjoyed. The hall was tastefully decorated for the oceasion, flags and bunting being chiefly in evidence with a few devices suggestive of the firemen‘s cealling, while the cups and other trophes won by the brigade were arso given place. The refreshments were unusually good and there was enough and to spare in this line.

It was no ordinary game. _ The only ordinary thing about it was the Umpire was unâ€" der suspicion of being erooked. One man suggested that the Umpire felt hbe bad to be very careful in his deâ€" cisions, being a man in business in town. _ So he weighed the printing from the mines against the advertising from the husiness men,â€"and so the Mine Men won. This is another proof® for the business men that it pays to advertise. ‘There were three seorers at work all through the game, but an audit shows the game was too many for them, and ‘they misappropriated practically everything but the runs,â€" llfor the Mine Managers and 6 for the Business Men,â€"and one of these runs was a walk and another a funerâ€" al march.
