" Ambulance Classes Proving Big Success at Dome Mines The uncertainties of life were brought to our attention in a very marked and lamentable way on Good Friday morning when one of our popular football players, Mr. George Miner, met with a severe injury to his eye. While Jinjking' around the big punching machine in the Boiler Shop, a slug of %‘‘ boiler plate flew and him him in the right eye. No definite information has %»een receivâ€" ed, but it is probable that he will lose the entire sight of at;least one ayp. George went overseas with the 159th apd it seems doubly hard luck, after escaping the hazards of three years the front, to get hit by a shrapnel slug at home. His brother, Jim, acâ€" companied him to Toronto on‘ Saturâ€" day to consult an eye specialist, and everybody sincerely hopesthat George will have the best of medical gand treatment. j h _â€"_â€"Miss Queenie Dowsett is homefrom "'gavergal College for the Easter vacaâ€" tton. Dead Body of Woman Found Monday Morning Near Road Miss Kathleen Carlyle, of Victoria, B.C., who has been the guest of Mrs. R. V. Curtis for a three months‘ stay, is leaving shortly for Montreal. At a meeting â€"of the Dome Mines Rugby Team held a short while ago, it was unanimously decided to carry on with the grand old game even though there wasn‘t as many teams to play against as the boys would like.

The body was lying by the fence, with some stones placed on the clothâ€" ing. The woman had apparently been dead‘a number of hours, probably from shortly after six o‘clock the previous â€" evening,â€"Sunday. _ There was a trace or two of blood on the ground, but there were no particular marks of violence on the body. The rumour that the women had her jaw broken is not correet. _ There were signs that might mean a scuffle or struggle, but on the other hand they might be no more than signs of the unsteadiness of one or more with a little too much liquor. There were no marks on the woman that would account for her death. On the other hand evidence gathered by the police suggests that Pete Stepaniuk accomâ€" panied the woman to the place where she was found. . Stepaniuk did not return to his home, but spent the Dome Mines, April 14th. Special to The Advance. Monday morning about 6.30 a work man going on shift found the dead body of a woman near the Hollinger fence and at once notified the police. Chief (Greer and Officer J. Cushing made a prompt visit to the scene and identified the dead woman as Mrs. Seniuk, a Russian woman living in the Gillies Lake district. Chief Greer knew the women on account of police calls necessary at her home in the past and court cases arising theneâ€" from. On one visit to the house Conâ€" stable Martin was roughly used, the woman now dead being a leader in the attack on the police on that ocâ€" easion. _ Accordingly the police had reason for being ready to identify the woman.

In the taxi Stepaniuk had difficulty in controlling the women who was rather wild in action. At the end of the board walk going to the Hollinâ€" ger, the couple dismissed the taxi and started to walk toward the Hollâ€" inger, though this was the opposite direction to where the couple lived. The man and woman were seen when close to the Hollinger, attention beâ€" ing called to them because they apâ€" peared to be having heavy work naâ€" vigating. _ Stepaniuk was carrying a violin and assisting the woman along.

ANNUAL MEFTING OF THE TMMINS GURLRG GLUB It would be unfair to all pupils to single out any one child for special comment since all gave of their best, but. some of the performers showed great ability, and Mrs. Reynolds is to be ~complimented on the excellence of â€"the programme, and the really wonderful way she hbhas trained her pupils. The Company in Excellent Condition. Directors Elected for Year.

South Poreupine, April 14th., Special to The Advance. 1925 Most encouraging reports are comâ€" ing out from the Township of Deloro. The amount of development work now going on in this Township justiâ€" fies the decision that a new mine will open up soon in Deloro. Properties that have been lying dormant for some years are being scraped over with a new hope. It would be well The Porecupine Goldfields Band held their weekly rehearsal at the (Dome Mines on Sunday last. Bandleader Boissenault remindeéed the members that owing to another affair of imâ€" portance â€" taking place on Sunday, April 26th, the concert that was scheâ€" duled for that date will be postponed. The next concert was announced to take place at Schumacher on Sunday, May 3rd, and another one for the following Sunday to take place at South iPorecupine.

Help them along. If you can‘t come, buy a ticket anyvway. President Says Annual Dividends Assured for Two Years at Least. Expects Enlargement in Mine Size. All Signs Hopeful. Look for New and Larger Ore Bodies. Dome Directors Reâ€"Elected At Annual Meeting Tuesday ~ The annual meeting of the Dome Mines, Limited, was held in Toronto, yvesterday afternoon, and the tone of the meeting was specially optimistic. The officials expect the property to develop into a bigger and richer proâ€" perty than expected heretofore. The meeting was a harmonious one through out. The group of shareholders who opposed the present directorate at the last annual meeting are evidently satisfied now with the progress being made. At any event Mr. Stein, of Rochester, who was a leader in opâ€" position last year, moved the election of the Baache directorate, the motion being carried unanimously. Mr. Innis B. Allen, of Rochester, of the C. P. Ford Shoe Company, and a director in several finanical institutions, reâ€" places Mr. T. R. Finucane on the new directorate. The Arthur E. Moysey Co. over their private wire received the follow ing particulars of the meeting:â€" ‘‘President J. 8. Baache was in the chair, and announced that the annual dividends were safe for two years at least. Also that he hoped that at the next annual meeting of shareholders the mine size of the Dome would have undergone enlargement. _ **We are looking for a bigger gold mine than ever and our developments will be earried to much greater depth Carpentems are very putting the finishing touches on Tom Strain‘s business block near the Post ~Office. The (building is a two story frame with two stores on the main floor. Both stores have just had a metal ceiling installed with ‘handwood floors and large plate glass show windows. Both stores ‘have rented. â€" A. baker from Timmins mwill occupy the west half and E. Jarvela, the. tailor will occupy the east half. The locaâ€" tion is very attnactive, and adds to the already improved property on this street. A gang of men left last week fon McArthur where they intend doing considerable development work on a group of elaims. Many good reports have been coming from this section and it is believed that a few deals will be consummated in the Township of McArthur during the course of the coming spring and fall. The South Poreupine answered a false alarm last at 4.30 p.m. Prof. Schroeder to Give Noteworthy Concert in the Maâ€" jestic Theatre, South Porcupine, on April 21st. _ Talk About Waterworks Installation. Other Items of Inâ€" terest from South Porcupine. Large Amount of Work Being y Done on Claims in Deloro Fire Brigade on Saturday Many of the school teachers left to spend their Easter Holidays in the south. Sehools will open on Monday next. The Home and School Association are holding a Euchre and Dance in the New School Hall on Tuesday Eve. April 28th, Colombo‘s Orchestra will furnish the music fon the occasion. Mr,. T. E. Donnelly, of Hamilton, was a visitor to Timmins this week, a certain amount of credit to some of the longâ€"minded citizens of Toronto, who have ibeen successful under the most adverse conditions in securing what seems to ‘be the true sane legisâ€" lation along these lines and it is quite true that their effonts are appreciated especially in the North. With Good Water and Good ‘Beer, the people will undoubtedly drink more waten. T wo of the chief topics in South Poreupine at present are Good Water _and Good Beer and from all appearâ€" ances it looks as though those mostly interested will have thein wish inasâ€" much as we have been informed that the debentures for the new water works have ‘bheen dealt with successâ€" fully and rapidly to the satisfaction of the members of the Council, thereâ€" fore assuring the Township of ample finances ‘to go ahead with the installâ€" ation of the much needed water supâ€" ply. As soon as details have been gone into, tenders will ‘be called for and the actual work started. The quesâ€" tion is settled and many residents and business men are making plans to cope with the conditions which will undoubtedly be for better with the water installed. . With regard to the good beer, one of our prominent. citizens stated that in the first place it was a shanie they even made Tom onto the Province of Ontario, otherâ€" wise the good ‘beer would have been here long ago, although we must give from now on. We are hopeful of finding the ore channel which deâ€" posited the soluitions in the sediments closer to the surface and we believe our search will lead to very great depth.‘‘ General Manager‘DePencier expressed himself as heing much more encouraged about the future than he was a year ago. ‘‘We will soon get beneath where sediments contained high mineralization and this, in my opinion, is the most favourable locaâ€" tion for the finding of new and larger bodies of ore.‘"‘ He coxroborated President Baache as to the possibiliâ€" ties yet developing at depth a section of Dome which would prove a bigger gold mine tthan had yet been the case, _ So far as development had gone into the Dome Extension proâ€" perty results had not been up to exâ€" pectations, but along the 13th level over a length of 1200 feet the results obtained had been the best. ‘‘The Dome Extension looks deep to me,‘"‘ he said, ‘! and diamond drilling reâ€" cently has passed through an ore body 40 feet wide of $17.00 grade. This is most encouraging. Also, the fact that in the Dome property we have proved ore to exist both north and south below the sedimentary formation. This we view with great hopefulness."‘ for outside capital to take a little more interest in this promising townâ€" ship before it is too late. Answering the many nequests of. the residents of South Poreupine, Prof. Schroeder will give a most elaborate and up to the minute concert in the Majestic Theatre on Tuesday Eve. April 21st. ‘Only the finished proâ€" duct of Prof. Schroeder‘s ambitionsg will perform at this concert, among them wiolin solos, duetts, quartettes, vocal, readings, a 12â€"piece Hawaiian Orchestra (extna special) also ifeatâ€" uring Miss (iwen Smith in elocution and dancing and Miss Viano Pertisalo on the violin. South Enders should make special note of this treat, as we are confident they will receive an unâ€" usual surprise. PRICE FIVE CENTS
