It is felt that thqgse who are lukewarm or worse in regard to the war are going to centre all their attention and interests in eâ€" lecting a man of their views and that those who are loyal to the country and to the great cause must not divide on unessentials. _ The hope as that the joint comimittee representing the best men in both parties will be able to agree on a candidate who will be pledged first and foremost and altoâ€" wether to a **Winâ€"theâ€"War‘‘ policy.

NEW FIRE ALARM SYSTEM NOW WORKING Chief Borland and his staff of exâ€" pert electricians and expert firemen are just completing this week the work of installing the new fire alarm system for the town of Timmins. This upâ€"toâ€"date system is considered the best on the market for a town of this size. â€" The system was practically at work last week, though a few unâ€" m ant connections had to be made. In lition to the gong at the fire hall, six other bells will sound warnâ€" ing when an alarm is turned in.

It is understood that the full 500,000 shares are to be taken over by Butffalo interests who will pay about 32 and a half cents per share. The treasury would realize about $150, 000 by this sale of stock, and this aâ€" mount will likely finance the compleâ€" tion of the present milling plant and rarry operations forward to a point where the mine would be producing on a scale that would finance itself. At the present time ore reserves at the Lake Shore are estimated at over $500,000, and indications are said to be excellen: for the property developâ€" irg into a firstâ€"class nune. At the meeting of the directors of the Lake Shore Mines at Kirkland Lake about ten days ago the sale of a block of 200,000 shares of treasury stock was authorized at not less than 30 cents ner share, the par value beâ€" ing $1.00.

MRG, FARSONS GUGGESTS 000 AlLOWANCGE The Teckâ€"Hughes property is conâ€" tinuing the drifting operations at the fourâ€"hundred, and a winze is being made with a view to increasing the mill capacity from its present run of 50 tons, to 100 tons a day. Plans are now under way for the erection of ten new houses on the property. A fifteenâ€"foot vein eut on the Bilâ€" sky claims at the 700â€"foot level reâ€" cently by the diamond drill is said to assay in the cores thousands of dollars n gold to the ton. The samples are of quartz and schist, and are noteworthy for the free gold showings. The Bilâ€" sky claims are being option by the Apex C No official figures have been issued for the Hollinger production for July, but unofficial estimates place the proâ€" duction at 42,000 tons, and the gross profit from operations at $275,000. August production is also said to be in further advance of this, and with the improved labor situation and other helpful factors, there are many who confidently expect the big mine to be paying dividends again before the year is out, and earning more money than ever before. Douglas Muteh, of the Hudson Bay Mine, and Consulting Engineer for the Dome Lake, has been chosen to make an examination of the Temiskaming mine in accordance with the resolution adopted at the annual meeting of the latter company.

The evidence before the jury took up much valuable time, and was all carefully considered. It appeared that the Austrian had used a blast to clear one of the stopes and though he was experienced at the work he had failed to go to a place of safety beâ€" fore the charge went off. He simply went down the manhole a couple ot stages, and it is thought that a piece of rock fell on some planking, and a piece of plank in turn fell on the Austrian. When discovered he was hurried to medical attention and all possible done to save his life. _ The accident occurred on August 31st., and the Austrian lived until Friday last.â€" seven days.
