McINTVAE DECLARES ANOTHER There is a general idea that in the registration to be made in June of this yéar the iwaximum age is 60. Several of the registrars, however, have pointed out that there is no age limit set, but that all persons, men and women, over 16 years of age, musi register. It is further interestâ€" ing in Timmins to note that British subjects and aliens alike must register on the day appointed. ‘This day has not yet hbeen set, but it will be some atm(la\ in June. ..

That is not the way to ‘boost. Newray will stand on its own merits ‘and win out in the end through that gmvrit, and stories of this type only \do indirect injury by confusing the |issue.

Mr. Phalen is interested in a number of mining proâ€" pmtu s in the Camp, and is wellâ€"known in many circles in the North Land, as he is known in the wider financial cireles of the Dommion. The story published in several city papers that there is some close conâ€" nection between the action of ithe Crown Reserve Company in regard to the Newray and the recent resignaâ€" tion of Mr. S. W. Cohen as general manager of the Crown Reserve and the Poreupine Crown is one of those bhaseless yarns that get going someâ€" times when some one has a little axe to grind, perhaps. ‘The truth seems to be that Mr. Cohen‘s retirement from the general managership of the Crown Reserve and Poreupine Crown is due to the number of other pressâ€" ing ealls upon lhis time and attention from other mines in which he is inâ€" terested.
