APPLICATIONS ALREADY MADE FOR POWER CO. SHARES _â€"_Often in the summer time, hockey players are accused of ‘‘shooting the bull,‘‘ but word from Cobalt is to the effect that Elmer Maracle, the weliâ€" known hockey player, is wanted by the provincial police at Cobalt on the charge of ‘‘shooting the calf,""‘ the said calf being a yearâ€"old. The calf is further said to have died from beâ€" ing shot. According to the provincial police version of the matter, Maracle had been visiting his mother at Paraâ€" dis Bay, and the calf and the calf‘s old woman, strayed onto the Maracle farm from a neighbouring place. Maracle is said to have shot at both, but only killed the calf.. The lady who owned the calf and the calf‘s mother went to Cobalt to lay a comâ€" plaint for the unauthorized making of veal, but in the meantime Maracle had gone away again. It is underâ€" stood that he motored to Sudbury on part of his holiday trip. HOCKEY PLAYER REPORTED TO HAVE SHOT THE CALF There are more snakes in the North Land than there are in Ireland, though usually there are not any particularly large one hereabouts. This year the number of snakes seem to ‘be larger than ordinary. Generâ€" ally, the snakes in this district are of the common garden variety, harmless and usually small. The usual snake found in this district very seldom measures more than two feet in length. . Last week, however, one specimen was found in the house at Haewyer Farm, Mountjoy, this snake measuring over 4 feet in length. While this big snake was a common garden snake and so free from poison, on account of its size it could give quite a nasty bite. is indicated by the fact that sixtyâ€" three men are at work there at the present time. Mr. John Jones, who has just returned from the Red Lake area, says that the Howey is making good and promises to be a big mine. The results from the work on the claims continue to be favourable and most promising. BIG SNAKE KILLED AT HAEWYER FARM LAST WEEK. SIXTYâ€"THREE MEN AT WORK AT HOWEY IN RED LAKE. The amount of work in progress at the Howey Gold Mines in Red Lake Word from last week gave the infortnation that a rush into that area was in progress, due to the glowing accounts of rich finds near the town of Swastika. According to the information from Swastika the miniature rush was especially due to an important discovery of free gold about two fromâ€" Swastika Station. The discovery of this parâ€" ticularly rich ore was made by James Hughes, an oldâ€"time prospector of the North Land who has to his credit in the past the staking of such claims as the Teckâ€"Hughes, the Chaputâ€"Hughes, and others. The present find is unâ€" derstood to have been made quit(» close to the Ferguson Highway. It is said that the vein has been btrlpped| right on to the highway and then| pwl\ed up again on the other side of, the road and work being done on that other side in the way of stripping and trenching. ‘The find has created conâ€" siderable excitement and there is special discussion of it around Swasâ€" tika, where the general opinion seems to be that it bids fair to be the most important find in the district for some time past. One old prospector says it would create the greatest rush of the past few years if it were only about a hundred miles from a railroad or highway, but ‘being so convenient, it is looked upon as too easy and comâ€" fortable for the ordinary prospector. Of course, there is not much unstaked territory in the district and that, of course, is one big factor in preventing any bis rushes.
