It is underâ€" stood, Mr. R. J. Ennis, the Melntyre general manager, will pay Red Lake a visit about the end of this month. That the Howey option was dropped in the face of at least partially favorâ€" able results of assays from the diaâ€" mond drill core is almost a certainty. The first row of diamond drill holes punctured the vein at a depth of about 275 feet, and showed quite as favourable values as those shown by the surface sampling. . The last two holes were directed to cut the vein at a depth of one thousand feet, but acâ€" tually flattened out and cut at about 700 feet. Both disclosed the same width of vein matter as at surface. The schisting was freer and it is a fact that the core from one of the holes disclosed free gold over ten feet. ‘*At the present time, according to private information from Red Lake, work has ceased completely on both the Howey and the adjoining Melnâ€" tyre properties. The diamond drills have been drawn up on the shore of the lake on Burntwood Bay, and the scene of the activity a few months ago, is practically deserted.

The general opinion seems to be that the Dome‘s action was taken not because of lack confidence in the property but beâ€" cause the terms of the deal were too steep. Those inclined to argument are not ready to aceept so easy an explanation. _ They are tempted , to seek more involved causes and reaâ€" The same tendency to wonder is noted in regard to the discussion of the probable effect on Red Lake generally through the withdrawal of the Dome. A correspondent of The Sudbury Star touches on both these features, in the following article last week:â€"‘‘Dome Mines, Limited, has definitely decided to relinquish its option on the property of the Howeyâ€" Red Lake syndicate. _ The campaign of diamond drilling and surface exâ€" ploration which was commmenced in April last year has been stopped. The 14 claims of the Howey property automatically revert to the Howeyâ€" Red Lake Syndicate. Announcement to this effect was made last night in Toronto by John E.

Mcâ€" Kinnon, of the wellâ€"known firm of Knight Brothers McKinnon, had lost his life by drowning in Round Lake, near Charlton, at which place he was connected in the lumbering business. At time of writing details of the tragedy are very incomplete, but The Speaker understands that Mr. MeKinnon left his camp and proâ€" ceeded to go out on Round Lake in a canoe. Nothing further was seen of him and on Monday afternoon a setâ€" tler noticed the upturned canoe floatâ€" ing in the water. He notified the camp of the incident, when word was sent to Cobalt and a party of personâ€" al friends of the deceased‘s family motored up to the scene of the drownâ€" ing, for the purpose of searching for the body, which was found on Wedâ€" nesday.

The addresses spoke volumes in praise and appreciation of the way in which Father O‘Gorman has served his people during the many years he has laboured amongst them, and expressed the high esteem in which he was held by his parishioners. ‘"‘In his farewell sermon, Father 0 ‘â€" (Gorman spoke of the Christian life of priesthood.

The completion of the road between Porquis Junetion and Cochrane proves beyond much doubt the advantage of the North Land highways now built and the larger one under â€"construeâ€" tion. Just as, after the finishing of the road from South End to the Juncâ€" tion, there was a noticeable increase in the visiting between Timmins and Iroquois. Falls and points between, so now, the same condition prevails in regard to Cochrane and intervening places. Timmins now pays frequent visits to, and is visited by parties from, Cochrane, Iroquois Falls and other points along the roads to these places.
