DOME MILLEBD 131,500 TONS IN THREE MONTHS CONSERVATIVE MEETING ON FRIDAY EVENING. * While at work at the Hollinger last week, Mr. R. Dunsmore had the misâ€" fortune to have his foot crushed by the fall of part of the machine at which he was working. He is at the home of his sister, Mrs. W. D. Watt, and is making good progress to reâ€" covery from the accident. Robert Sheppard, unmarried, aged 22, whose home is in southern Ontâ€" ario, was found electrocuted at the Dome Mines at noon on Saturday. He had been repairing . one of the erusher motors. The usual inquest in connection with industriah accidents will ‘be held this week. Very high values have been secured at the property next to the Triplex, east of Mile 115 in Shaw. This apâ€" pears to be a property of great richâ€" ness, from work so far. This is known as the Groves and Hindes property, and the more it is investigated the better it looks. POOT INJURED BY FALL OF MACHINE LAST WEEK. MAN ELECTROCUTED AT DOME MINES SATURDAY Reports are to the effect that northwest corner claims in Shaw to be developed on an extended : at an ertly date. There is a good gang of men workâ€" ing on the James Whalen claims. There are five claims in this group and results have been such that they are figuring on putting in a small mill to treat the ore as they go along. When careful and experienced mining men feel that way about a group of claims it is about certain that they know they have the goods. The Brough claims are under tion to an English Syndicate. P At the present time there is special activity in Deloro, Shaw and Mcâ€" Arthur Townships, with very good reâ€" sults to warrant continued activity. High assays have been common enough but it is the general formation and the promise of large ore bodies of good grade that are chiefly depended upon to make these three townshins very important in gold production in the near future. _A couple of enthuâ€" siasts on this particular section of country were in town last week ard not only told The Advance of the reâ€" sources of the three townrships named but went as far as is possible at this time to prove the case. There is no possible question but that the work this winter on the Deloro, Shaw and MceArthur claims have given big reâ€" sults, (The work has fully justified the confidence of several oldâ€"time prospectors and mining men in this area. _ Deloro, Shaw and MceArthur believe fully that they have the goods and they intend to prove this to the limit. Properties Being Developed and Prospects Look Good for a Couple of Producers in the Near Future. McArthur Township Also the Scene of Much Good Work This Winter. Special Activity Now in Deloro and Shaw Township »ffect that the s in Shaw are extended seale op There are a numbern of the last year‘s members of the Timmins Go‘f Club who have neglected to pay up the fees for this season, and it would be well if they would attend to the matter at once. While former memâ€" bers have the preference in joining up again, it is equally a fact that places can not be held indefinitely. There is a waiting list of new memâ€" bers, and unless the old members pay up at once they will dose their chances for membership this year. All old members should see to it at once, imâ€" mediately, and even sooner. _ On Tuesday last at Cochrane the Liberals of the riding gathered to orâ€" ganize for the Federal Election. There was a large gathering of deleâ€" gates from all over the district, and a good meeting was held. Mr. Mac. Lang, M.P.P., was among the speakers and gave his reasons for his votes on 4.4. The Liberal Association for the riding was formed, with Mr. Ben Rothschild as President, and Mr. Deâ€" larossier as Secretaryâ€"Treasurer.

The prospectors have been chipping in from time to time to help to get something done in the way of road work.Apart from the fact that the prospectors should hardly be exâ€" pected to build their own road, they have not the time to do it. Where so good a country is being opened up the Province should see to the roadâ€" work. It would be money well inâ€" vested, indeed, lne regular meeting of the Caledonâ€" ian Society will be held in the Holâ€" linger Hall Friday evening of this week and another good time is exipecâ€" ted. _A good programme is being preâ€" pared and all members and friends are welceome. There has been lots of work in proâ€" gress in MceArthur Township all winâ€" ter, but the work has been under serious handicap for want of halfâ€" decent transportation. Several years ago the Government used prison laâ€" bour for building part of the road from South Poreupine between Shaw and Deloro to MeArthur. _ Latterly the prison labhour has been taken off and contracts let. _ But only about $2,400.00 has been allowed for about 26 miles of road. The answer is easy, but it isn‘t an answer,â€"and it isn‘t Development at the Ankerite is proceeding at a rapid pace. The Mineral Lands on the same break as the Ankerite, is putting down a shaft and going along satisfactorily. The Paymaster is busy at diamond drilling, with good results. The Marsh Gold is sinking the shaft to the 500â€"ft. on the break presumed to be the same as the Ankerite., Deloro and Shaw are in iron formâ€" ation, and geologists once ventured the opinion that gold would not be found in such a formation. _ They have had to revise this opinion. Proâ€" vincial (Geologist Burrows is quoted as saying that the Triplex was carryâ€" ing very high values in gold in iron formation. _ Other properties in the same formation in the area are adâ€" mittedly showing very high values.
