Perâ€" On Saturday at 2.30 p.m. fire was discovered in the double house at 73â€" 73%, Balsam street, north. The fireâ€" men were called by phone, made a quick run and did excellent work. The fire had such a start that it was generally thought that the whole building would go, but the brigade was able to save this greater loss. The fire appeared to start in the section of the house occupied by Mr. Martini, the cause of the fire not being known, though spontaneous‘ combustion from an oil mop is one explanation suggestâ€" ed. The furniture was moved from the adjoining part of the building, occupied by Mr. John Fitzgerald and family, the â€"partitions in the house being very light and there being much possibility of the fire spreading all through the building. The firemen, however, fought the blaze with such effect that it was confined to the one section of the house where it started. The damage to the building will be about $600.00, while the loss on the contents of Mr. Martini‘s part of the building will be about $1,000.00 There was $1,500.00 insurancee carâ€" ried ‘by Mr. Martini, so the loss is fully covered. _ The owner of the building, Mr. Tony Masciolh, also carried $1,500.00 insurance, so his loss is also covered. The damage to the part occupied by Mr. Fitzgerald is slight, being only from water and smoke.

It is not known whether further sittings will be held here. No doubt if conâ€" ditions warrant it, or new witnesses are discovered this will be done. Alâ€" ready there has been a large amount of evidence taken and a large number of witnesses examined. Elsewhere in this issue will be found references to sessions of the enquiry. and further summaries of evidence may be given out next week. This week there was a notewothy array of witnesses on the stand, among these being: Messrs A. F. Brigham, C. G. Williams, (Geo. Cole, and others. After Mx. Brigham had concluded his evidence, His Lordâ€" ship asked him if he had any other information that he would give that might assist the commission. _ Mr. Brigham said he had not, and he wishâ€" ed to say that if there was anyone who knew anything that would assist the enquiry or who knew of anyone that knew anything he would assure them of all the protection he could give. He wanted them to come forâ€" ward and tell the commission anyâ€" thing that would assist the enquiry, and he would see that no man had his position jeopardized or suffered othorâ€" wise for any such honest assistance. Royal Commission Adj Sessions Here This ofinaditsr brt dutrat uoi cfi Mr. Williams outlined the plan for diluting the powder house waste with waste rock or backfill to render it innocuous. With such a method carried through he felt there would have been no danger. The Royal Commission inquiring inâ€" to the recent disaster at the Hollinger ad journed its sittings here this mornâ€" ; His Loydship, Judge Godson, and Mr. Mortimer, track boss, made one of the most satisfactory witnesses heard. He had dates and figures and facts for every question asked that dealt with his work, and so was able to give authoritative answers to every question asked so long as it related to his duties. Mr. Cole, mining inspector, told of making regular inspections of the mine. He had not been aware that rubbish was being dumped in 55A stope in the way it was. Had he known he certainly would have looked after the matter. V. H. Emery, mine superintendent, stated that he had given orders in the old days to mine foremen that the debris from the powder thaw house should be mixed ‘with rock when dumped down the stope. _ Then, in 1926, after an efficiency man had made a survey of transportation, the transâ€" portation system was placed under the control of a transportation foreâ€" man. Mr. Emery said that he had not instructed this new transportaâ€" tion foreman in his duties. He exâ€" pected that Mr. O‘Brien who made the report that resulted in the change, Among the witnesses giving eviâ€" dence at the sittings of the commussion in addition to those outlined last week and those reviewéd elsewhere, there were many others. CORONER‘S INQUEST TO PROCEED ON MARCH 23rd On Tuesday the coroner‘s inquest into the deaths in the recent Hollinâ€" ger disaster was postponed until Friâ€" day, March 23rd, at 4.30 p.m. § LETTERS AND TELEGRAMS OF SYMPATHY RECEIVED Letters and telegrams were reâ€" ceived by the mayor and town counâ€" cil from the following, expressing the deepest sympathy for the relatives of those who lost their lives in the recent Hollinger Mine disaster:â€"His Exâ€" cellency the Governorâ€"General of nada;, His Honour the Lieut.â€"Govâ€" ernor of Ontario; Hon.

The donations received to meet any relief necessary included =â€"â€"Moysey Co., $5,000.00 ; Mowat MacGillivray, Otta\va, $2, 000 00. A. W. Young, assistant superinâ€" tendent of mining, stated that he was in charge of backfilling operations, and other matters were not his conâ€" cern. He had not given any thought to the disposal of the waste from the powder house. He thought that if the waste had been mixed with backfill there would have been no danger. ‘A. E. O‘Brien, one of the mine foreâ€" men, told of being research man for the mine and making a xeport on the transportation system. Following the report the system had ‘been changed, the work being placed in the direcâ€" tion of one man. Safety was the first consideration in the mine, he said, admitting, however, that nothing had been said about safety in his report. He qualified this, however, by pointâ€" ing out that safety was such a prime consideration that it was taken for granted. He had been seven years with the Hollinger, working as muckâ€" er, machine man and in other capaciâ€" ties. He had not instructed the new transportation foreman in regard to disposal of waste from the thaw house. It was not one of the details that had happened to strike him. ' o {fad done that. The disposal of the thaw house waste was under the direcâ€" tion of the newlyâ€"appointed transporâ€" tation foreman. Asked if the quesâ€" tion of disposal of waste was still in his jurisdiction, Mr. Emery said that inasmuch as he was responsible for every detail in the mine he was xeâ€" sponsible for that. He did not know that rubbish was being dumped n the stopes unmixed with rock or other backfill. . Such practice would be conâ€" trary to his orders. He did not fix responsibility for the orders being disâ€" obeyed. He left that to the court of enquiry. Capt. Geo. Pond told of the efforts made by himself and Ira Graham to get their men out of the mine on the day of the disaster. Capt. Pond was seriously affected by the gases and came near losing his life. Witness said he had discussed safety methods with Mr. Emery and no one was afraid to discuss matters with the ‘"higherâ€"ups.‘‘ Asked if he considerâ€" ed the dumping of the powder house waste in the stopes was dangerous he agreed it was but said if mixed proâ€" perly with the waste rock and backfill it would not ‘be. There were reports every day from the shift bosses showâ€" ing where every car of backfill went. He could not say who reported the daily backfill to the executive offices. Dr. H. H. Moore said that he had not been called into consultation with the management in regard to safety underground or safety ~appliances there: The pulmoter at the Hollinâ€" ger could /be uséed as an inhalator. Dr. Moore and Mr. White had a disâ€" cussion in regard to the use of oxygen or carbon dioxide and oxygen in reâ€" viving men affected by gas or smoke. Dr. Moore described the activities of the mine doctors at the time of the fire. The dead men ‘had all passed away, he said, from carbon monoxide poisoning. He thought the appliances on hand at the Hollinger were all necessary for the emergency. E. Ranger, employed at the burning of rubbish from underground since the fire, described the contents which inâ€" cluded some timber ends. He had noted the explosion of a couple of deâ€" REGULAR BAND CONGERT SUNDAY MIGHT, MARGH 11 Interesting Event to be Held in the Goldfields Theatre After the Church Services tonators. as the openâ€"air events allow similar opportunity for public enjoyment of the band music during the summer months.
