It was generally known that the Dome Mines were driving this long crosseut to the Dome Exâ€" tension property, but few realized that the development had already reached the point where the drive was already 150 to 250 feet on Dome Exâ€" tension. _ Should this development work prove the existence of ore bodâ€" ies on Dome Extension as indicated by the extensive diamond drilling done last year the Dome Extension will undoubtedly be taken over by the Dome about next September. UNDERGROUND DEVELOPMENT AT DOME EXTENSION given by Messrs. John Fogg, C. E. Hall, D. Ostrosser and C. G. Williams. After many references to Mr. Wilâ€" son‘s popularity and good citizenship and after a pleasant social time toâ€" gether, the gathering then adjournâ€" ed to the New Empire Theatre where a special run of pictures was put on the scereen in honor of the oceasion. Mr. Wilson leaves on Thursday for Nelson, B.C., to take up his new dutâ€" ies in that locality for the Canadian Explosives Company. About thirty of the friends of Mr. Gordon Wilson gathered at the Goldâ€" fields Hotel Saturday evening at 7.30 to give expression to their regret at his early departure from the Camp and their sincere regard for his many good qualities as a citizen and a man. Mayor J. P. MelLaughlin oceupied the chair at the pleasant little banquet, the repast served by the Goldfields being of the highâ€"class type always expected from the Goldfields. Mr. Wilson was presented with an elegâ€" ant eclub bag, and an address expresâ€" sing the appreciation felt for him and regret at his removal. He made apt response, telling of lhus regret at leavyâ€" ing the many good friends made in the Camp, but pointing out that the} move had to be made to follow the line of promotion for him.

GOROON WILSON Mr. Secord, at the request of the Council, explained that 114 inch cemâ€" ent plaster would stick on a threeâ€" storey lhouse building all right if properly put on. An inch of good cement mortar, he said would stand nearly anything. He recommended good, sharp, coarse sand and rock lime, and the plaster to be well hairâ€" ed. He did not think any material would stand a big fire undamaged, instancing cases of the ruin of threeâ€" foot stone walls, to say nothing of brick structures. (He considered the cement plaster wall a good one, howâ€" ever, and as fireâ€"proof as the average brick. At last year‘s prices it would cost $1.25 per yard, finished rough, but tlus year‘s prices would be a litâ€" tle higher. Also he recommended the use of 4â€"ply asbestos paper under all metal roofinge. under construction with the privilege certain regulations quiring solid brick structures. There was no sulllcient surety of the perâ€" manence of the Camp to warrant reâ€" stricting buldings to solid brick.

The Hennessey Camp buildings in Deloro are about completed and the work of installing a small plant will be the next move it is said. The Hennessey is in a good loeality, about a mile from the Hayden, and was recently optioned by the Poreupine Crown. The Sladeâ€"Forbes Asbestos Co. shipped a ton of asbestos by express to Cincinnati last week. The asbesâ€" tos was worth $600, and the express alaone amounted to $90. The Sladeâ€" Forbes Co. are talking of installing a mill to l:andle their increasing proâ€" duection,. The Teckâ€"Hughes has started a 100â€" ton mull running and now ranks amâ€" ong the producers,â€"the second such in the Kirkland Lake district. It is expected that for the present about 60 tons a day will be treated at first. Work is to be started soon on the Buff Munro Mine, situated about a mile from the Croesus. Two shafts will be sunk and other development work earried on. Surface showings are said to indicate good prospects. The Skyjonsby claims, the discovery of which are said to have started the little rush to ‘‘east of Bourke‘s,"" have been optioned to Toronto interâ€" ests, and development will be proâ€" ceeded with at once, it is said. Dome Lake recently broke into some ore which gives great promise. Dome Lake is also starting diamond drilling underground, and is going to drill the south eclaim.

There was a good attendance at the meeting and the review of the year‘s work showâ€" ed a pleasing growth and progress. ‘‘stringers‘‘ being limited in size are of course, not the real wonderful part of the mining story of the Holâ€" linger. ‘The real wonderful part is that the ‘‘finds‘‘ are but an incident in the working in a general run of ore body that is estimated to value $100 in geldl to the ton. One of the latest of the ‘‘*stringers‘‘ to be found was said to be oneâ€"half inch thick, d. foot high and running back six Feet. Of course it meant a small forâ€" tune in a little chunk, but on the Holâ€" linger seale of business was not so important as it seemed. The moral to the outside public seems to be that while the Hollinger has the goods alâ€" most beyond reckoning, the manageâ€" ment is so careful and conservative in its statements and estimates that all official utterances may be acceptâ€" ed without question as well inside the facts. vhe uko a%e aBe oBe aTo oo nBe aBe aZe ooo aZe aBe aBe aBe aZe oTe aBe oTe aZe aBe aZe oo aBe aZe aBe alle oBp aBe aBe aBe aBe oTe oZe oBe oTe ie p #° " some of fhem running many thousâ€" ands of doliars,â€"even tens of thousâ€" ands of dollars,â€"in gold to the ton.

The diamond drilling is being done by the Domâ€" inion Diamond Drill Co., and the company‘s interests are being looked after by Kerth Roberts, E.M A plant has been installed on the Crawford claims in Skead Township, owned by the Wisconsin Mining Co. This is the first real effort at the deâ€" velopment of Skead Township, though the presenee of good gold showings there has been common knowledge to prospectors for a long time. During the boom at Larder Lake there was much staking done in Skead, but most of the claims were not recorded. Extensive developments are being planned for the Tommy Burns this coming summer. _A complete new plant, including a compressor, is now being installed on the property and the mill is being overhauled. The Davidson Gold Mines are startâ€" ing a vigorous diamond drilling camâ€" paign this spring. The Davidson is making _ arrangements forâ€" electric power to replace the use of wood. Very satisfactory results are being achieved from the present developâ€" ment work and even greater things are looked for in the spring.

Anchor. He was born in Denmark and was a lad there when the Prussians and Austrians inâ€" vaded the country in 1864. Capt. Anchor, in response to the letter, has called a meetinge of the members of the, Mining Institute in this Camp for Friday evening at 7.30 in the Council Chambers, and it is hoped all will attend to consider the question and give worthy answer to the appeal. sion, who is also a member both of the American and the Canadian Minâ€" ing Institute, Jt is also suggested that regular monthly subseriptions to the lNelief Fund would be more helpâ€" ful than one contribution. ing a substantial fund by the bers and friends of the Instit the Belgian Children‘s Relief and in this connection referc made to the noble work in J Relief done by Mr. Hoover, man of the Belgian Reliet® C sion, who is also a member h the Ameriean and the Canadia apPE. _ FL. 4. ‘An pointed by the C; stitute as a meml tee for the Reliet ren. has received Capt.

He was through the fierce engagements at St. Julien, Hill Sixty, Zillebeck and other strenuous battles. He saw evidences of German atrocities that fully explain why the returned solâ€" diers are so bent on a complete vieâ€" tory over Prussianism. At St. Julien Pte. Martin suffered a ‘*‘gassing‘‘ and at Flematinge, in Belguim, he was shot in the left shoulder. The latter wound necessitated his removal to the big base hospital at Rouen, from which he was later sent back to Engâ€" land, where he remained as a conâ€" valeseent until early this year. Pte. Martin served undet (Col. Watson, (now Brigâ€"General), and he says that the Canadians under command of this fine officer had the most unlimitâ€" ed confidence and regard for their commander,â€"which explains in part the splendid work done by all. Pte. N. Martin, who came here for a Toronto publishing firm, this week struck a pleasant surprise when he went in to ecanvass Mr. A. R. (GHlobe, issistant manager at the Hollinger. Mr. Globe himself is an old soldier, iaving served in the Imperial forces, and huis first thought apparently was that a returned hero Geserved a more permanent and paying position than subscription canvassing. â€" He offered Pte. Martin a position on the Holâ€" linger staff, and the matter was setâ€" tled in a few minutes. Among the popular oceupations reâ€" cently taken up by returned soldiers is that of canvassing for various pubâ€" lications.
