Sure relief for Just Drink TEA Mr. K. K. Gronross was taken to Haileybury the beginning of February to be held there pending his removal to an asylum, the man having been committed to an institution owing to suffering from a spécies of religious mania. He had started to visit his wife and family in Finland, but turnâ€" ed back at Montreal. Returning to Kirkland Lake and Swastika, he com menced giving away his money and otherwise acting so peculiarly that he was taken in charge and two doctors examining him found him insane. When waiting transfer to the asylum he refused to eat or drink. On Feb, 12th he passed away unexpectedly in the Haileybury jail. At quarter to seven the turnkey had visited him and found him apparently all right. At five minutes to seven he was found to be dead. At the inquest ’last week the evidence was to the etâ€" ifect. that the doctors had found no serious physical effects followed the !man’s fasting. The authorities at the jail tried every method of kind perâ€" suasion to induce the unfortunate man to eat, attempting to coax him with dainties and promising to get him anything in the line of food that he would like. They asked him if there were any Finnish, dishes he would like. In brief, those in charge of the jail, sympathizing with the man in his affliction, had beenâ€" particularly kind and thoughtful.. According to the evidence, he had been under conâ€" stant medical attention during his stay in the jail, and the Toronto authâ€" orities had been notified of the cirâ€" cumstances so that prompt removal of the man could be made to an inâ€" stitution where he could receive the necessary treatment. At the inquest the jail surgeon said that he was satisfied that the man did not die from starvation, as he was well nourished, despite his fast of 16 days. The jail surgeon‘s opinion was that Granross died from natural causes. The coroner‘s jury held the same opinâ€" ion after hearing the evidence, and returned a verdict to that effect. Gronross spoke good English and gave the authorities no trouble_of any kind, except that he refused food. He said he was going by the Brble and intended to fast for forty days. The day before he died he asked for some milk and honey, and this was given him after the doctor had decided that it would not injure him. While in the Haileybury jail, Gronross spent practically all his time lying on is bed, reading the Bible and praying. Gronross was 49 years old, a native of Finland, and for the past ten years a resident of Canada,. He had been living for some time at Kirkland Lake. REFUSED ALL FOOD FOR 16 DAYS, AND THEN DIED IN JAIL The large membership, together with the proportionately large cireuâ€" lation of books indicates the value of the public library to the town and the advantage and accommodation the institution is to citizens. Probâ€" ably no other feature of community life returns such comparatively large dividends in benefit and pleasure for the relatively small amount of the cost.~ The public library assuredly is one of, the best investments made by the town of Timmins. LIBRARY GIRGULATION NEARLY FIFTY THOI Total Membership of Timmins Public Library 2231 for Year Ending December 3l1st, 1926. The total number of books in the library is given as 4189. Of these, 1062 are adult fiction ; 712, nonâ€"fiction ; and 1515, juvenile. The librarian‘s report for 1926 shows many interesting figures in conâ€" nection with the Timmins Public Libâ€" rary. The total number of books in culation in 1926 was 46,508. Of number 26,045 were adult books 19,563 juvenile reading. The total membership enrolled for the year was 2231. Of this number 1172 were adults and 1059 juveniles. C1râ€" this and THE PORCU!PINE ADVANCE,«â€"TIMMINS, ONTARIO. The report shows broken ore reâ€" serves at the Dome decreased hy 45,â€" 000 tons. General Manager DePencier states that ‘development work has failed to open up tonmage of ore nearâ€" ly equal to that milled during the year. He adds that the indications do not leave much hope that the comâ€" ing year will see any improvement in ithis respect, unless the devéelopâ€" ment campaign discloses larger ore bodies than those that have hbeen found in the last couple of years. Broken ore in the stopes has been reâ€" duced somewhat, and now stands at 575,000 itons. This will undoubtedly be drawn upon during 1927. Mr. Deâ€" Pencier states that while it is imposâ€" sible to measure the ore remaining unbroken in most places, it is believed that a two years‘ supply of ore, at the present rate of â€"erushing, remains. This includes the broken ore, The company‘s assets are shown at $10,493,013, including eapital assets, less depreciation, $6,445,440. . Current assets are shown at $1,805,440, and dividend assurance fund $2,219,431. Since the dividen assurance fund at the end of 1925 amounted to $2,173,â€" 327, it appears that this still remains intact. Current assets have been reâ€" duced by slighly more than $300,000, and net working capital by approxiâ€" mately the same amount. _ Current liabilities are shown at $790,692, which compares with $800,835 at the close of the preceding year. The operating profit for the year amounted to $1,784,834, which comâ€" pares with $2,053,008 for the previous year. _ Mining revenue amounted to $3,0940,000, as against $4,366,025 in 10925. Nonâ€"operatine~ revenue $251,510, as against $176,132 in the preceding year. Operating and mainâ€" tenance expenses totalled $2.315,800. The sum of $90,966 was reserved for Dominion of Canada income taxes, leaving a net profit as shown above. The year‘s dividends required $1,906,â€" 668 ; reserve for depreciation was proâ€" vided for to the extent of $442,797 ; expenditure on Howey Gold Mines written off was $113,417. The surâ€" plus as of Dec. 31, 1926, was $1,313,â€" 007, while the surplus brought forâ€" ward from 1925 was $2,019,664. President Jules 8. Bache, in preâ€" senting the directors‘. report, draws attenition to the fact that the net exâ€" cess of current assets over current liabilities, including the dividends payable on January 20 last, was $3,â€" Annual Report of Dome Mines Refers to Red Lake Claims The annual report for the past year for the Dome Mines, Limited, was issued last week, and many points of interest were touched upon. Among these points there will be special inâ€" terest in the references to Red Lake. Mr. H. P. DePencier, the general manager, in his report says :â€" ‘*During the year the Howey proâ€" perty at Red Lake, held under option was examined, and 18 diamond drill holes, totalling 7,335.25 feet of drnillâ€" ing was done,"‘‘ said Mr. DePencier. ‘‘The results obtained were not conâ€" sidered sufficiently encouraging to justify us proceeding further under the option. Some Options Dropped but Some Claims Still Retained and May Receive Further Attention. Dome Mines Proâ€" fits Decreased in 1926. Many Points of Interest Reâ€" ferred to in Dome Annual Report. ©The claims of the Red Lgke Prosâ€" pectors‘ Syndicate to the west of the Mclntyre claims on Red Lake were also thoroughly prospected and the option dropped. _ The claims farther west in Red Lake district staked by the company‘s prospectors were also examined and some surface work done. While some veins and showâ€" ings of gold were found, none of these have proven to be of economic 1imporâ€" tance as yet. These claims, however, will receive some further attention. ‘‘Many other properties have been examined, ‘but nothing of sufficient promise has been found to warrant eoime further. and surface work done in several anâ€" stances without economic ore bodies being indicated."‘ ‘‘In Quebec several areas have been examined by dipâ€"needle surveys, but without results warranting further invest‘eation.

P. DePencier, in his report, states that 555,750 tons of ore were treated, yielding bullion worth $3,940,090, the average yield per ton being $7.0903. The tonnage treated in the previous year was 530,â€" 200, worth $4,366,025, an average yield of $8.5519. . This comparison makes it apparent that there was a slight increase in tonnage milled and a lower gold content.
