According to the decision arrived at by the members of the D.Â¥.:B.::Club at their last regular weekly meeting there was no meeting of the Club this week. ‘The D.Y.B. will mest regularly however, next Mondavy, August 6, at Constable Greerâ€" arrested â€" Panas Bezubez late Saturday evening â€" for acting too much on street like the day before the yesterday after toâ€"morrow morning‘s evening,â€"that is, all mixâ€" ed up. ° Before Justice of the Peace Montgomery on Monday Bezubez was charged with being drunk in a public place and was firned $15 and costs. jood progress is being made on the construction of the new . hotel building on Third Avenue, opposite the Empire Hotel. This new â€" hotel is to be a modern structure with upâ€" toâ€"date fixtures and finishings. â€" Part of the material used in building it is from the former Kingston hotel at South Poreupine. Mr. Jas. Hazeltor is putting up the building. Three women of undesirable type, who have been living in a house on Station street, have recently been anâ€" noying the good people of the neighâ€" borhood by the noise and rowdyism created at unearthly hours of the late night â€" and morning. _ Several complaints having been made to the police, the laiter gave the undesiraâ€" bles a few hours to leave town, and consequently the neighborhood has been freed from the nuisance, the women moving away from town even before the hour set by the police. Acting Chief Sally and Constable Greer were retuarning from the depot one evening last week when a citizen approached them and told them that there was a fellow stretched out in a shop doorway down Third Avenue, fead to the \\(.)1'1(1.” ‘‘as it may not be as easy to handle this case as it seems.‘‘ . ‘T‘he two policeraen hurried down street with the citizen, who eventually brought them to the doorway where the diffiâ€" culty lay. ‘‘There he is,""‘ said the citizen. Constable Greer rushed toâ€" wards the doorway, and then hesiâ€" tated as he saw what he was expected to tackle. As the Constable retreated Acting Chief Sally jumped forward boldly. But he too seemed afraid of the job. The two policemen looked at each other, lowered their voiees for fear of rousing that sleeping form, and stepped further backward to conâ€" fer. Just then they noticed Provinâ€" cial Officer Ackroyd vupthe street. ‘‘Get the Provincial! Quick!"" they whispered to the citizen. **This is a job for him. We don‘t like it.‘" And they fled across the street to the dark refuge of a doorway. Down the street came ‘*D‘Beeg Police,""‘ his heels came ‘‘D‘Beeg. Police,"‘ his heels clicking bravely on the hard â€" walk. "Sure, T‘ll pick him up,"‘ he said. The citizen led the Provineial to the doorway. **There he is stretched out, dead to the world,""‘ he said. The Provincial looked for a moment as if he too would shirk the contract. Then he shrugged his broad shoulders. ‘*I‘m game,"‘ he said, and he stooped down determinedly. In a minute the biz form of the hbig policeman straightened up without apparent efâ€" fort, and he had the sleeping form seâ€" curely in his arms. It was a fourâ€" yearâ€"old Jewish lad who had gone to sleep in the doorway. shop doorway rcompletely de th would come is it may not | nd Mrs. J. P.

Proâ€" vincial Officer Made Quick and Clever Work in One Case. Every onee in a while the breaches of the Ontario Temperance Act seem to break out, and then the police, town and provincial, get â€" specially busy to make repairs. At the police court this week, for instance, â€" there will be no less than five new liquor cases, in addition to a couple of other cases left over from last week. On Sunday morning about two 0 clock Constable Greer visited a local house that the police have ‘‘thad their eye on,"‘ and arrested Fronko Tomâ€" chenks on a charge of having liquor in a public place. Tomehenks had some liquor inside him and practicâ€" ally a full bottle with him when arâ€" rested. Provincial Officer Ackroyd did some quick and clever work in landing a case and the evidence, He saw near Schumacher a trio of men in a buggy. The horse looked tired and â€" hungry and abused, and the trio appeared joyful but thirsty. The Provincial saw them in the act of drinking from a boitle, but when he called to them to stop they threw the bottle into the lake and ‘‘beat it."‘s ‘Then started the race. ‘The ‘‘Big Police‘‘ hustled back to the lake and rescued the botâ€" tle which he had watched fall at the side in the cyanide slime. It had no cork but he happened to fall right side up with care, and with the cyanâ€" ide on the outside and the booze inâ€" side it should make good evidence. Then Provinceial Officer Ackroyd hasâ€" tened after his men. He had to run along to town before the road was wide enough to turn. Then he went right by and stopped the auto right in front of the buggy. In a minute he was out and was arresting the men, one, two, three, though they put up a sort of resistance. Two of them will be charged with being drunk in a public place and the owner of the bottle will face the more serious of having liquor in a public While returning from South Poreuâ€" pine by auto one evening last week Another case landed by the Provâ€" incial is that of a Schumacher Ausâ€" trian. This alien had a big store and house, half of which is rented as a rooming house while he used the reâ€" mainder for his own dwelling. As the place is connected and all under one roof, it seems to be a public place in the meaning of the Act, and as liquor was found therein it is ‘‘up to the Austrian.‘‘ Chief Roy, of South Poreupine, alâ€" so has a case against a man for being drunk on street, contrary to the regâ€" ulation of the Ontario Temperance Act ‘‘It appears that some of the veins in Howard Falls district, while exâ€" ceptionally rich, were small, and did not bear up as to vatues. There are about 1000 claims staked in the disâ€" trict of Kowkash. Most of these are near Tashota, and, judging from the formation, which is very similar to that of Poreupine, the veins on the whole being stronger, there is every likelihood that a few good mines may be developed."‘ )lace Mr. Lc.tt tells of the kindness of (Continued from page Section Foreman Wells to the prosâ€" pectors, looking after their packs, ete., and how in return they staked a claim for him, which he later sold to Mr. John Orn and associates for $25,000. A shaft is down 130 feet on the Tashâ€"Orn, and the average values are $14 per ton. . The ore . on ‘‘the dump is valued at $100,000, On the Ross claim, owned by the Tretheway people oi Cobalt, has a large vein traced for 1000 feet and 100 feet wide in places. The average assay runs $12.00 per ton. Mr. Lett refers to visiting the Deâ€" vaney and other elaims, and thinks that Tashota may yet turn ouf as rich even as the Poreupine. ABOUT TWENE CLAIMGS STAKED IN NFW FAFLD Big Rush into Rickard Township But Few Stayed,â€"On Account of Circumstances. The sensational discovery of gold near Twin Falls in Rickard ‘Fownâ€" ship ten day ago started a big rush for the district, but only a few prosâ€" pectors stayed after going in. This was due to the cireumstances and conditions surrounding the new field and not to any lack of faith in the richness of the find. Indeed, the shrewdest of the oldâ€"timers are agâ€" reed that the new field is an unusually promising one. There is much free gold showing and every reason _ for believing that the ore body is both rich and large. The formation is the same as in Munroâ€" Township,â€"the home of the now â€" famous Croesus mine.â€"and there seems to be a genâ€" InIng,â€"ANd â€" LILCFVC ~SCClHHlS â€" CS / 4) eral opinion â€" among the _ oldâ€"timers that the Rickard Township find is a continuation of the Munro gold belt. No work has yet been done on any of the properties staked, not even . a shovel being yet in use, the prospecâ€" tor‘s pick serving as the one investiâ€" cating and exploring tool. But as one prospector worded it: ‘‘The signs are there all right, boys; the signs are there sure!‘‘ The reason that the rush of prosâ€" pectors to the district was not folâ€" lowed by a rush of claim staking was because there is a limit to the numâ€" ber of claims that could be staked under the cireumstances. In the first place there are a number of Veteran grants in the locality, and of course these are not open for the ordinary staking. Then to the east lie the lands reserved by the Government for flood lands for the big_ Abitibi dam. â€" These lands, too, are not open in the ordinary way to the prospecâ€" tor. ~Also, the condition of the ground in various parts of the locality preâ€" vent intelligent staking. Only about twelve claims have actâ€" ually been staked so fas .near the original find. _ The original stakes were made by â€"three â€" Finlanders,â€" Messrs. Raty, Gillan and Hongo. They have staked eight .claims, inâ€" cluding one for Wilfrid Foster, merâ€" chant at Kirkland Lake. In addition to these eight elaims, other claims have been staked by Messrs. Morrissâ€" on, Carr, Maiden and _ Crateau. Messrs. Grabam and Perkins have alâ€" so staked a couple of claims about a mile from the locality of the original find. This new gold field . in prospect, usually termed now the ‘*Twin Falls" or ‘‘Rickard‘‘ find, is about 9% miles cast from Iroquois Falls and about 4%4 miles from Twin Falls on the Abitibi River. Miners and prosâ€" pectors are agreed that it is one of the most promising finds of the North Land. ne investiâ€" But as ‘The signs the signs (t is dollars and "sense" t buy what you NEED to wear right now. # We still have left lots of our A1 clothes, up to the minuté in style, and we are simply selling out our summer gsoods â€"the very bestâ€" for very MUCHA LESS.
