While neither federal nor proy- incial mining officials have yet con- firmed the report, Arthur Cole, T. and N.O. mining engineer, is on his way to check the two finds and to ascertain whether they are of a co vimercially valuable nature, One deposit is reported to lie on the Mattagami River, within five or six miles cf the new line to Moo- sonee, -and another is at Hannah Bay, 30 miles from the northern seaport. It is rumored samples of anthracite have been sent to Ottawa for testing; through the federal de- partment of mines has not yet ack- nowledged their receipt. . Large deposits of lignite coal lie just east of the railway, about 75 miles south of Moosonee, and their discovery two ycars ago was partly responsible for the recently-com- pleted extension, Hutchison Family Lands in Iceland Copenhagen, Denmark, Sept. 3. -- An Exchange Telegraph dispatch today re- ported the arrival of the "Flying Hutchinsons" at Godthaab, on the west coast of Greenland.

Ald. Hyman asked Mayor Hawkes who was seated in tue audience, if he would comment on his news- paper report, "The report is ahYs~lutely correct in every particular," siid the Mayor, "Everything in the paper regarding the matter is absolute'v true, every word of it. "There was a statement made at the meeting of the Board of Health on Thursday night regarding chil- dren looking for food at the city dump, and as a result I went dwn to the dump this morning. While I was there we were close to the dog pound and it was at my sugges- tion.that we visited it. 1 remember saying 'there's the dog pound.

HANDSOME PRIZE IS DONATED BY RETAIL MERCHANTS FOR THE FAIR Some glucky lady who attends the Oshawa Fair this year is going to be the winner of a beat- tiful grandfather clock, gix feet five inches high, with a solid walnut case and Westminister quarter hour chimes.

But it is stipulated that the lucky lady must pe present in person when the lucky number is an- ounced. 1f she is not, then a sec- ond ticket will be drawn, and the number called.

Kaye Don, British chal. lenger, hurtling his Miss Eng- land Ill over the course at a marvellous speed, took the lead at the start of the race and held it for nearly 28 miles, but Wood was not to be denied and he opened up his craft to overtake the Bri- ton and win the race. Wood's astounded finish stunned the crowd of more than one hundred thousand persons who lined the shores and crowded lake boats to see the thirty-five nautical mile race, despite the rain which ceased just before the race and began again at the close of the fourth lap. Don, after roaring away to a long lead, gained consistently for three laps. Wood picked up some of the distance on the fourth lap and on the final round turned loose his 48 cylinder speed giant of 6,400 horsepower to completely overwhelm the challenger. Wood's speed for 35 nautical miles of the heat was 76.024 statute miles per hour, while Don's was 71.265. Choppy water apparently slow ed both boats, as neither pilot was able to get under full power on the three mile straightways because of the bouncing about of their bonts. Race Was Slow So slow was Wood's craft in the first four laps of the 35 mile course that it seemed he appeared to have encountered motor trouble. Seemingly, how- ever, he was merely conserving his boat. At the end of the race Wood said: "I ran the race exactly as [I planned it; I am very happy and I hope to win again on Mon- day. Don went to his boatwell and made no immediate statement. Despite Wood's victory, which (Continued on pare 3) NEW MINISTER ATNORTHMINSTER Rev. C.
