When the Ontario Municipal Board visits here on May 12th, they will be asked to allow the town of Timmins permission to issue about $200,000 worth of debentures. The date for the visit was stt this week in a letter to the town from government authorities. their ore was at depth. At the time negotiations were going on between Hollinger and MciIintyre for the sale of the Schumacher property. _ Hollinger offered 25 cents a share, but the Mcâ€" ntyre directors hung out for 35 cents. That extra ten cents a share meant the deal was off. Otherwise MciIntyre might never have been a separate mine. The shaft was deepened to 1,000 feet, the ore was found, and continuous progress has Grought the mine to its present prosperous stage. In addition to McIntyre officials, a number of prominent guests were presâ€" ent, including Archdeacon Woodall of South Porcupine and Rev. Father Marâ€" tindale of Schumacher.
