No Gold Discovered When Butt Explored WWMM‘G 1 Tergitory Regard to Mllrm Report in .. of f Gold was Reported. > "The report follows several rumours of great finds of tin and gold in the district, and Mr. Gibson took occasion to deny a general rumour that a $25,000 reward was posted for the findâ€" ing of commercialâ€"value tin in Ontario. While there was no tin or gold found, feldspar used for potteryâ€"making, has been seen in scme quantities. _ "Bupplementary to the official report, an authoritative scurce in the Mines Department issued the following:â€" "Officers of the Mines Department, gard to reciorted finds of gold in what is known as the Kearney field some sixty miles south of North Bay. As noted in The Advance last week there are several Timmins people who nave taken interests in the area. W. R. Turner, wellâ€"known Timmins prosâ€" pector, returned last week from the Kearney field and he was very enthusiâ€" astic as to its possibilities. Mr. Turner also referred to other prospectors and engineers who had visited the area and who looked favourably upon its prosâ€" Any area that achieves any particuâ€" lar notice these days is sure Oof very prompt and careful attention from the Ontario Dept. of Mines. It will be reâ€" called that the Matachewan field was greatly benefitted by the early reports from the Ontario Dept. cof Mines and by the maps later published of the area. The same has been true of the Swayze and other new fields. Followâ€" ing its usual method of looking over all the new areas where gold is said to be found in Ontario, the Dept. of Mines was early in the Kearney field. Unlike the reports on other mining areas, however, the official report on the Kearney district is not very favâ€" ourable, While distinctly stating that the district is not necesserily conâ€" demned the report by the Dept. points out that no gold was found by the proâ€" vincial geologist when he visited the Kearney field. On Friday last The Toronto Gliobe under the heading, "No Gold Discovered, When Butt Explorâ€" ed," made the following reference to the official report on the area:â€" "A negative report on the claims that goid and tin had been found in Butt township, near Kearney, was issued by en to the press by Thomas W. Gibson, Deputy Minister, with the aproval of Hon, Charles McCrea. Dr. Burrows visited the region, and had assays made urion his return, and both those for tin and gold are declared negative.

Ayoub is recurrrating from bullet wounds received in a batâ€" tle with the police when he attempted to avoid arrest after the recent bank rcbhbery in North Bay. Ayoub was hit in three places by bullets after he had | shot Constable Belanger of North Bay. The constable was not seriously injured and was on duty again in a few days. Ayoub was shot in the hand, the side and the hip before he was subdued, though this sounds more important than it really is, for the whole affair was over in short order. ‘The police were out looking for a man of Ayoub‘s description, following the robbery of the Bank of Montreal branch at North Bay on Nov. 26th, when a man held up the bank using revolver to intiâ€" midate the staff and getting away for the time being with about $4,000.00. The police have since recovered pracâ€" tically all the money stolen from the After his capture Ayoub was taken to the hospital for treatment, it being feared at first that he might not reâ€" cover. In a few days, however, he was sufficiently recovered to be taken from the hospital to the jail. Since then he has been remanded from week to week, pending his more complete reâ€" covery. He is now out of all danger, though he has also had a slight touch of "flu" as well as his wounds to ocâ€" cupy his attention.. He is able to walk about his cell but the authorities feel that he is hardly in condition yet to stand â€"trial. He will likely come up for trial next .week. He faces two chargesâ€"one of robbing the Bank of Montreal, and the other of wounding with intent. Brantford Expositor:â€"J. B.
