The court house was pack- ed when the sentence was passed. The case had been adjourned since last 'l‘hursday without the prisoner electing or pleading. and when he faced the magistrate Tuesday after- noon he pleaded guilty and elected to be tried by the magistrate. J. W. Mahon oi Cobalt represented the prisoner and made a strong plea for lwieney for him. He spoke of his previous good character and the fact that he was not a criminal hut in a moment of weakness had committed the crime. Before sentencing the prisoner Mai:- istrate Atkinson addressed a few words to him. He stated that he would not send him to Kingston to mingle with criminals but instead would place him in Central and at the prison farm at. Guelph where con- ditions would be much better. The prisoner showed no change when the sentence was passed.

COBALT OPERA BLOCK DESTROYED BY FIRE Also Cobalt Hotel and Bank of Commerce--- Telegraph News Cannot Be Secured as Wirés Down Much etmstei'nation and quite a lot of anxiety was created round South Porcupine Thursday morning when news was receiVed which at first stated that “ .‘Iohalt had again been burned out,” and for some time no actual facts could be ascer- tained as to how far the rumor was correCt or any details as to origin. In order to ascertain the very fullâ€" est, and reliable details possible “The Advance” placed in a wire at 9 am. for Cobalt, but was informed that it would in all probability be noon or after before it could be sent, as the wi res were down. 'I‘he meagre message which had brought the first intimation of afire was from New Liskeard. and it statâ€" ed that a great blaze had taken place, having originated in the Lyric Theatre, which is situated on the Square. that the whole of the Opera House Block was destroyed, together with the Cobalt Hotel, which was immediately in the rear, and C. Reekin's flour and feed store. still further at the south. It gradually transpired that with the above demolished there were also the store of Len Coyne, 'l‘. H.

The motor is the one for the con- veyors and feeder and its absence preVents the filling of the bins. The crusher is lined up and set and the plate tables are being finished while the linings are in the pebble mills. As soon as the missing motor is in position the mill will be ready ,fur the commencement of operations. the otther small things that remain to be done around the building being pos- sible of performance during the run- ing of the mill. It is the intention of the Vipund management to retain a considerable :esche of broken ore in the mino owing to the varying values, so that it will be possible to grade up the ore and run it through the mill at a consistent value. Phe raise from the 200 to the lOO-foot level was put through Saturday night and stoning will be commenced on the 200 of the high grade ore than will be used to even up the grade of ore being led to the mill. Ore is beiimr amped (anii and stacked for the. present in the drifts. This ore is running between $123 and $105 a ten, but when the timbers are in and the stoping is being confined more closely to the pay streak the ore will run a little big-her than this. At present considerable waste rock is being broken down to provide footing. I'l‘ioward Barton went home to Cm balt last week end to pay a. visit for a few days. The fire started at 8 o'clock on Wednesday night and it was not un- til four o'clock Thursday murning that the tire deparbment. of whom the man in command is Chief Kap- pel. managed to Bet control. That the demolition bv the flames ceased when the Bank 01 Commerce went up seems to be surmisa-blc and if such is the case the Nipissing block must have been saved. 0n the other hand no telegraphic communi- cation can be made with the Cobalt office. which is in the McDonald Drug Store of the Nipissing' block, nuol room.
