Testing With Diamond Drill The Fisher-Bauhoin-lionneau Syndi- rate of Montreal whose property ad- joins the lfirdsons Bay in Shaw Township have. for the last eight weeks. been testing their property with a diamond drill during which time they have accomplished more. than 1000 feet of drilling. Sections of the cores have been sent to Mont- lreal to be assayed. [luring drilling operations a 2’0 foot lead of quartz carrying high values in sulphides was struck; in fact the diamond drilling operations have been successful in disclosing the ex- istence of three large rich veins that were not visible on the surface. \‘isihle gold was encountered in two veins.

'l‘oronto scored first. after about lc') minutes' play. Young centred the ball from lefl wins: and Rutherfond head- ed it into the net. After about. ten minutes more of indecisive playing, Walkee’ added another for Toronto by a pretty shot. The same .player’ again did the trick after Raven had centred the hall a few minutes later. and this made the score tfltree to no- thing at half-time. Cobalt pressed at the early Ipart of the second half, and after about ten minutes’ play Binny dribled from centre and scored. Toronto came back, and three minutes later Ruth- erford tallied on a nice shot. Toron- to continued to press and Young added another from a mix up in front of the coal. Two minutes later he headed another into the net, for Toronto. Raven dribbled down the field and centred to Cater, who beat Brisdon on a nice shot. A minute later. the same player added another after some pretty eomhination work. 'l‘his ended the scoring. The most interesting' and exciting l:ame of the four game series of base- ball played between the Dome and South Porcupine was witnessed here last Saturday afternoon. In every inningr the game was a tie, and it was a pitcher's battle to see which one would come out on top and it took ten innings to decide the win- ner. Finally South Porcupine got to Kelly for a couple of hits, along with a few errors, and took the game, Jackson hitting the pill int-o left garden and driving in the win‘ ning run. The features of the game were a three. bagger by Ross in the 2nd and a three bamer by Lake in the Bob for South Porcupine, and Kelly and Regnall for two cushions in the 6th.
