Copper has been located in large deposits in Label township. twenty miles north of Englehart. according to an official report received by the 'l‘eminkarning Northern Ontario Railway. and work already done shows that the ore will well repay extraction. 1‘hisis practically the first oflicial assurance oi the exist. ence of copper fields in the district. From time to time allegations have been made concerning its presence, and official tests have been made, but not upon the. same scale as the present investigation. When interviewed Mr. J. L. Eagle- hart. Chairman of the l’rnVineial Railway Commie-Winn. expressed hifi (ratification river the character of the reports received from his minim: en- ginecr and the fact that the actual work of development and the estah- lishment of stamp mills was proceed- ing.

He had scarcely recovered from his astonishment when down came the trailer on top of his head, and, with cuts and bruises, made his head much resemble a chop- ping-block.

Bert should have been at Sunday school, and thus have averted the astound- ing mixâ€"up. In the next shaft. known as No. II. two lenses of chalcoprite were out, the first about thirty-five feet and the second some sixty feet deep. The lenses are cut across the shaft, so that the shaft passes through with further sinking. There is about three feet of solid ('halvapyrite and another Dealing with the copper deposits the reports set forth that. the Dane Mining Company. located four miles north of Dane Station in Lebel town- ship. in what is termed the “Boston district." have two shafts down 120 and 100 feet. respectively. In the lilo-foot shaft a station is being 01‘ in at the 100â€"foot mark and sunk to the 200-foot level. The ore in this shaft is in a quartz vein several feet in width, and will average about two per cent. of copper contents. Sanitary. Man At North Bay Duty recently impelled Chief Pro- vincial Health Officer McCullough to stir North Bay’s council to sanitary action in behalf of the city's health. The council demurred, whereupon the Chief served notice on bhat 'body that. unless within five days the council appOint a sanitary in- spector, the appointment would be made by the health authorities. The council then came back at the Chief with the statement that. instead of one sanitary inspector for the city, it had three "inspectors. they being members of the police force, and ei- fective workers.
