Since the taking over of these stores by the Mines the employees of the Hollinger and the Melntyre have been given a straight discount of 15 per cent. from regular prices.

Following Premier Drury‘s promise to investigate conditions at the solâ€" diers‘ colony at Kapuskasing, the Pro vincial Government has appointed a Commission of Enquiry. This Comâ€" mittee includes Mr. W. F. Nickle, K. C., of Kingston, Col. J. 1. MacLaren, of Hamilton, and Prof. J. N. Shatrp, of New Liskeard. This Commussion is now loudly heralded as redeeming the Premier‘s promise of a nonâ€"partisan Commission. Col. Macharen is ferred to as a Lirberal. He was and is Mr. Nickle is mentioned as the Conservative. He used to be years ago. And Prof. Sharp is quoted as the U. F. O.â€"Labor representative. Most people in the North Land know that Prof. Sharp used to be a Liberal; they have hardly had time yet to become aceustomed â€"to thinking. of him as anything else, Perhaps, he has to watch himself in politics to keep from backâ€"sliding. The people in general will have considerable ~confidence in gentlemen like those named on this Kapuskasing Commussion, so fong as the thought of politiecs is left out of the matter. As men they are all right, but as for their political leanings,â€"oh good night, sweet farmers. One is a straight Liberal, another was a Liberâ€" al until a few days ago, and the third was an Independent (very independâ€" ent) Conservative until he resigned. The personnel of the Commussion is surely not pretended to be an equal re presentation of the parties of toâ€"day. If it is, then things are not what they seem .and Aife is an empty dream in which U~F. 0. politics may well »,take; the ~place of the future punishment. "Mr.. Nickle is to be the chairman of the Commission, and it is to be hoped that the investigation will be thorough enough to show the public what is what at Kapuskasing. It is also to ‘be thoped that though some newspapers have tried to make a political point improperly from the personnel of the Commission, that the Commission itself will be above this sort of cheap stuff, and that their reâ€" port will consider nothing but the truth, the soldier‘s advantage and the people‘s interests.

This by It is generally believed that the byâ€" law granting the Dome the extension of time on the option will hbe ratified by the shareholders of#the Dome Exâ€" tension at the general meeting next week. This is generally viewed as the course that will be fair to the Big Dome and most advantageous to the Dome Extension. work of building necessary hangars will be commenced almost immediately and that in May of this year there will be two airships in commussion at New Liskeard â€" Other machines will be added from time to timoe as the service grows in popularâ€" Ity,.

"*The work on the tenth level should ‘have started,""‘ Capt. Anchor says, ‘‘during July or August, but owing to slow delivery of «eables, rails, etec., and seareity of skilled labor the work was not commenced uatil the forepart of January of this year. Good progress is now being made but it will take con siderable time to complete the work contemplated, anrd in order to do the property justice, I consider a perivd of six months should be allowed. I, therefore, recommend that you ask the shareholders to grant an extension of the present option #ix month."‘ firmed by the special general meet ing of the shareholders. The exist ing option agreement gives the Dom Mines Company the option of purâ€" chasing the assets and properties oi the Dome Extension Mines Company the Dome having until March 15t)h. 19020, to exereise the option.

Labor and other conditions have hampered work by the Dome. Capt H. C. Anchor, Superintendent of the Dome Extension, recommends the granting of the six months‘ extenâ€" sion of the option. In a letter to the President and Directors of the Dome Extension he points out that the Dome has run a crossâ€"cut into the Exâ€" tension south contact ore body on the 600â€"foot level and by drifts and crossâ€" cuts exposed an area of 12,000 square feet of ore that will assay at about $5.00 per ton.
