One of the new companies formed to explore and deâ€" velop Barnet township claims is the Ramore Gold Mines, Limited. The property includes eight claims in Barâ€" net, near the Brettâ€"Trethewey claims. The president of the company is Frederick A. N. Powell, Toronto, forâ€" merly president of the Leeâ€"Powell Co., Ltd. Frederick A. Gaby, of Toronto, chief engineer of the Hydroâ€"Electric Power Commussion of Ontario, is viceâ€" president. Frank L. Trethewey, of Toronto, viceâ€"president of the Brettâ€" Trethewey Mines, is secretaryâ€"treasâ€" urer, and the two other directors are Frank E. Davison, a director of the Kirkland Townsite (Gold Mines, and A. A. Walker, formerly with the Masâ€" seyâ€"Harris Co., Ltd., both of Toronto. E. T. Corkill, M.E., who will ‘be in charge of operations, in his report on the property, says:â€"The dominant rocks in the area in which claims are located are keewatin lavas, consisting largely ‘of basalt. These basalts are cut by numerous dykes of feldspar, porphyry and syenite, having an apâ€" proximate east and west strike. Other dykes of the same matemal also strike north and south. All these dykes are very persistent in character, and are up to 25 feet in width. These dykes show considerable shearing, acâ€" companied by quartz deposition and carrying sulphides. Samples taken from some of these mineralized porâ€" tions carry high gold values. This property has a number of favourable features, the most important being that the basalts have been extensively ecut by intrusive rocks which are sheared and mineralized. The three goals secored by Saunders made him conspicuous and while not a fast or flashy player, he has a happy faculty of guessing well and being in the right place at the right time. Fell was prominent with his many rushes while Jemmett and Cain played steady cames. When Sandrin was injured, Rip Powers played spectacular hockey, not a goal being scored on him. Jimmy Seully, of Timmins, refereed and the teams lined up as follows:â€"â€" South Poreupineâ€"Thornton, goal; Cain and Fell, defence; Jemmett, centre; Spence and Saunders, wings; (Gagnon, Cook and MeCutcheon, subs. Fallsâ€"Sandrin, goal ; Hogg and Maâ€" honey, defence; Lever, centre; Melnâ€" tyre and Kilby wings; Little, Trottier Pender, Huggins and Walsh, subs. OFFICERS OF THE RAMORE GOLD MINES, LIMITED. All of the players played hard, conâ€" sistent games and it would not be fair to select any individual stars. Mcâ€" Intyre‘s three goals put him in a proâ€" minent light and he carried the puck well. Mahoney rushed time and time and Hogg was a lot better in this respect than in the opening game. Kilby seemed unwilling to play fast hockey and was more inclined to mix things than play hockey. Lever playâ€" ed his usual hard skating gcame. It was shortly after this that Sandrin was hurt and the stopping of the game and accident seemed to=disorganize the Falls attack. When Sandrin was hurt Jemmett scored making the tally 5 to 3. Sbaunders made it G to 3, when he was again left uncovered in front of the net and took a pass for the Miners last goal. Hogg scored the final goal for the Falls when he ecarâ€" ried the puck down and the South Poreupine defence opened up for him. adUTH PORGUPINE WON AT TRE FALLS IN ROGKEY In the first period it looked like a| walkâ€"away for South Poreupine. Saunders was left uncovered in front of the net and scored on a rebound for the first goal. Spence scored a mile offâ€"side for the second goal which he caught as a rebound when playing inside home. Saunders seored again picking up a loose puck in front of the net.. This goal was a lack of covering up by the defence. Jemâ€" mett made it 4 to 0 again getting a rebound for this goal. This was three rebounds and one loose puck, only one being a clearâ€"cut goal. Just beâ€"| fore the first period ended Melntyre| was in position to take a pass out from Hogg who carried the puck the length of the ice. | In the first part of the second period the Falls attacked furiously and had the visitors backed in to their own end of the rink for the first 10 minâ€" utes. Melntyre made the seore 4 to 2 when he carried the puck down, split the defence nicely and netted the rubber. Melntyre again scored a few: minutes later, taking a pass from Maâ€"| honey who carried the puck down. l (From The Broke Hustler) Displaying better form than in the opening game here, the Falls were defeated here Friday by South Porâ€" cupine 6 goals to 4. The second goal was scored direct offside by Spence who has a penchant for doing this. Another goal was scored on hard luck when Sandrin got hit in the face by a puck in front of the net. The Falls team seemed to have more success against their opponents than heretofore, which would indicate that they are improving right along. lt is not because the South Poreupine players are any better than the Falls lads individually, it is just that they have that fiveâ€"man defence system that is so hard to penetrate or play combination against. Score was 6 to 4. The Game was a Lively One, with Porcupine Showingâ€"up Well. Hamilton Block, Timmins, Ont. Phone 501 P. 0. Box 223 ‘"‘"A Gold Medal School in a Golden Centre‘‘ E. M.

Both the provincial and town police had representatives on the spot to see that order was kept and there was no confusion about people taking their turn. All day Saturday, however, the crowd was as quiet and orderly as it would ‘be possible for any crowd to be. The crowd before the liquor store were simply on business bent and they acted in business way. It may ‘be noted that the police used the same plan as would ‘be used, and has been used, in case of crowds before any other business place. On several occeasions for some special reason or other crowds have been lined up beâ€" fore (business places or amusement houses, and provincial and town police have lent their services to the preâ€" venting of confusion or disorder. Saturday‘s crowd proved to be very easy to handle. When the store closed at six o‘clock in the evening, there were about thirty stall outside, but arrangements were made to serve these in their turn, and so there was no one turned away without being served. It is well to note also, that much of the crowd on Saturday and the other days last week were people from out of town. On one day a man in position to judge, estimated that fully 75 per cent. of the day‘s busiâ€" ness was from people coming from neighbouring towns and from places along the branch to Porquis Junetion. Mr. T. H. Torrance, manager of the local store, no doubt feeling that neither publicity nor advertising are necessary in this line of business, will not give out any facts or figures as to the amount of business done. **Any information along that line,"‘ he says ‘‘should come from the Government, if given out at all.‘‘ However, outâ€" siders have been figuring and estimaâ€" ting on the business done, and these statisticians consider that the $10,000 mark must have been reached on Frmâ€" day, with Saturday still better. They suggest that the week‘s sales would likely run around $50,000,â€"which is not to be sneezed at. _ The general feeling will be that it is a lot better to see this business go to Government stores than to the blind pigs. The statisticians figure that less money was spent this year for liquor than in past years in this town and district. Those who do not claim that less liquor was used than in other years are certain that it cost less and was a lot better stuff. The balance sheet shows $43,969 in cash and total assets of $875,212. Curâ€" rent liabilities amount to $915. There is therefore plenty of money to earry on. Early in 1928 a new and larger minâ€" ing plant will be installed and operâ€" atlonb prosecuted with the expectation that production can be brought in. LIQUOR STORE DID BIG BUSINESS LAST WEEK The Government liquor store Timmins did an unusually large b ness last week. â€" On Saturday t Early in 1927 work was resumed at the property in Cadillac. . Sinking to a depth of 75 feet was done by steam A 1 drill compressor was then bought and sinking went to 100 feet. At 85 feet the vein dipped out of the shaft. In the meantime good discoveries were made on surface by cross trenching. Mr. Thompson recommends further work. ces o | E Timmins Business | College Toner A. MacDonald Barrister, Solicitor, Etc.

At police court this week there were eleven drunks fined $10.00 and costs each. One of these could not pay, and so was taken to Haileybury to serve the alternative of thirty days.

Some of those purchasing the tickets for the Dumbells pard only 25 cents for tickets that were designed to sell at $2.20. The magistrate blamed these buyers for not being suspicious when boys offered $2.20 worth of ticket for a fraction of the normal cost. The two boys admittedentering Mr. Gorâ€" don H. Gauthier‘s office and taking away some articles. ~The lads mainâ€" tained that they did not use force to get in the office, but that the door was already open. _ The magistrate ordered the two young lads to report each week to Mr. R. LeHeup, the disâ€" trict superintendent and inspector for the C. A. 8. Restitution was made for the tickets taken away. _ Only those who paid ridiculous prices such as 15¢. or 25c. each lost anything by the offence and these people did not receive much sympathy from the magistrate, as it appeared that their suspicions should be aroused when $2 tickets were offered as low as 25 cents cach. Mr. Gauthier did not ask for any sentence on the boys, saying that it was Christmas time and so he would overlook the theft so far as lhis proâ€" perty was concerned. Sudbury St money nowad a wizard.

The charge of the theft of some liquor from a club bag was withdrawn, the aceused having made restitution and paying the costs of the court. A similar case against another man was also withdrawn. Two town merchants, Messrs S. Habib and Mike Ansara, were charged with illegally having a certain type of slot machine. The fine in each case was $50.00 and eosts..
