Mining work is now resumed at the Paymaster. About twenty men are on the job at present, but future plans will increase this number. The work now under way is on the old Heinze shaft, the shaft next to the DBome. In this shaft there is nice ore at the 300â€"foot level. The nower will be on next week at the property and the addition of electric energy will speed up operations. The plant on the Paymaster is an exâ€" cellent one and the modern equipment is to be utilized to the full under the pians devided upon in connection with the extended programme mapped out. In addition to the present work going on ‘at the Heinze shaft the company An announcement of very special inâ€" terost is made in this issue * 2th by the Timmins Lodge of the 1.0.0.F. and by the South Porcupine 1.0.0.F.

Ontario, will hold a meeting in the 1.0.0.F. hall, South Porcupine on Monday evening, Sept. 25th, for all of District 59. ~All members of the lodges in the district and all visitors will be made welcome.

They have retained faith in the ; area adjoining the Dome from the very beginning and recent developments \seem to fully justify that belief and ‘confidence. Work has been planned to fdevelop the Paymaster properties with ithe belief that what has been done by ‘the Dome may be duplicated in some | measure by the properties adjoining. ‘The Paymaster has about 600 acres in | what may be termed the Dome area, in |\ additicn to other claims owned by the company, so its chances ought to be the best. 2 The company‘s next operation will consist of dewatering the main West Dome Lake shaft now down 1050 feet, at which place mining operations will be conducted on the No. 3 vein system which has already produced $1,300,000 in gold. It is not the intention to use the old West Dome Lake mill, as all milling operations will be centralized at the company‘s modern 400â€"ton cyanide plant on the original Paymaster part of the property. The Paymaster Consolidated Mines, Limited, the new company owning and coperating the Paymaster, owns a very extensive area of mining land. The company‘s principal group of claims adjoins the famous Dome Mines proâ€" perty, The Dome has produced over $55,000,000 in gold and is going stronger than ever. The adjoining claims owned by the Paymaster have also produced over $1,500,000.00 under previous manâ€" agement. It is believed that a well planned programme, with cenâ€" tralized mining and milling operations, and under the specially favourable posiâ€" tion held by gold toâ€"day, the results from now on will completely eclipse anything achieved in the past by the group of properties now held by the Paymaster. A. S. Puller, president and E. H. Walker, viceâ€"president "were in Timâ€" mins this week, and expressed confiâ€" dence that the Paymaster is starting on a new era that seems to assure sucâ€" Police Solve Two of Series of Robbeéries Two of the series of recent robberies have been solved by the police with most of the stolen goods recovered and the culprits admitting their part in the crimes. One of the cases referred to is the breaking into four cars on ‘the T. N. O. tracks on Friday night. This might be called a series in itself. Out of the one car some fruit was stolâ€" en, including five baskets of peaches and plums. Also there was a carton of cigarettes valped at $17.36. Out of a second car /cigarettes, facial cream, g about $15.50. Two cother cars were entered but as they contained only heavy freight, there was nothing disâ€" turbed except the car seal and the door of the car. The robbery of ithe railâ€" road cars brought Officer R. Swan, of the T. N. 0. to town and he and the local police have been working on the case since. Yesterday the local police were successful in following up clues discovered and the final result was that four boys, ranging in age from 13 to 16, were brought in for questioning, and eventually admitted that they had broken into the cars Friday night. Most of the goods stolen were recovered by the police. While the boys were at the business of confessing they admitted also that on Saturday morning they had entered Lucien Forgette‘s place Aat 84 Third avenue, and stolen $4.50 in cash. This money is also understood to have been recovered. Thieves Stcealing from Railway are Found. Most of the € Goods Recovered. Number of Other Thefts. There were four other thefts on Satâ€" urday, Sunday and Monday that have not yet teen cleared up by the police, but they will likely do so if given fair time. They made a good jJob of the work by tracking down the culprits in the robbery of the T. N. O. cars, and so may do as well in these other On Saturday a gentleman left in front of Blahey‘s store a bicycle he had borrowed. When he finished his busiâ€" ness in the store the bicycle was gone. It has not yet been recovered. It was a Columbia C.C.M. On Sunday a young lady living on Wilson avenue had $25.00 taken from her purse in her room while she was out. On Monday Wm. Tonkin lost a gabardine coat, a pair of trousers and a sweater from his room through the activity of lightâ€"fingered folks. The feast of Rosh Hashanah, which inaugurates the most solemn season of the Jewish religious year, began yesâ€" terday (Wednesday), Sept. 20th, at sunâ€" set, and lasts until sunset today (Thursâ€" day), Sept. 21st.

The 56094th Year in Jewish Following New Year‘s Day, the Jews have ten days preceding the "Day of £tonement," these days being known as the "Ten Days of Penitence" during which there is reflection on the wrongs or remissness of the old year. If the repentenace is sincere, then complete forgiveness comes on the ‘"Day of Atonement," the concluding day of the holy season ushered in by New Year‘s. The annual tag day of the Victorian Order of Nurses held on Tuesday of this week for the raising of funds for the carrying on of the work in Timâ€" mins proved a pleasing success despite the unfavourable weather. Although the ladies carrying on the work of sellâ€" ing the tags were driven from their places by the downpour of rain shortly after three o‘clock, the returns from the tag day were better than from any of the tag days in previous years. The total collected on Tuesday by the tagâ€" gers was $249.68. Though this exceeded last year‘s returns by only a few dolâ€" lars, the fact that under all the conâ€" ditions it did exceed the returns in 1932 is eminently pleasing and satisfactory. It shows continued and increased pubâ€" lic interest and support. The attitude of the public towards the V.O.N. was very evidently one of sympathy and apnroval, and this must be encouraging to the local committee who have given so generously of their time, talent and effort to make the V.O.N. a success and a helpful service, and to the V.O.N.

The date given in the schedule for Timâ€" mins is Tuesday, Oct. 3rd. Effort has been made to have this date changed to the day before or the day after, but whether this can be done or not is a question as the itinerary seems to be all planned. It was thought here that on account of Oct. 3rd being pay night and the stores being open as a conâ€" sequence, many would be unable to atâ€" tend the lecture who might otherwise come. However, there is sure to be a good crowd in any case to hear Jack Miner, so, unless otherwise announced the date for Timmins may be considâ€" ered as that given in the following list: Thursday, September 28th, at New Liskeard.

Legion Opening for Season on Monday On Monday, Sept. 25th, the Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion will cpen its doors for the first meeting of the fall and winter season. The meetâ€" ing is called for 8.00 p.m. in the Oddâ€" fellows‘â€"hall. is specially requested that a full attendance be on hand. Much interest wil} centre around the financial standing of the branch and also the work carried on during the summer recess. Past President Austin Neame the delzsgate to the convention at Windsor, will have an interesting report to present to the members. Plans are to be completed for the %pmgg of Decoration Day on Sunday, ctober i1st. It is the wish of the offiâ€" cers to make this event an annual one. The members will be given a chance to discuss this question with the hope that the largest possible number will be in the parade for this event. BRig. Meeting Planned and Interesting Items to be Discussed. Austin Neame to Present Report of Convention,. The annual Armistice Day service and parade will also be on the business paper. Ilmerary Of Jack Miner IAnnuaI Meeting of District of Cochrane for his Northern TOUr| Firemen‘s Association to be Held at To close the first meeting in fitting style there will be a short social time with refreshments served. In all it looks like a most interesting meeting and all members of the Legion, visiting comrades, and exâ€"servicemen are cordially invited to attend. {| The various member brigades of the District of Cochrane Firemen‘s Assoâ€" ciation have been notified of the anâ€" nual convention of the asscciation to be held at the fire hall, Timmins, on Thursday of next week, Sept. 28th, commencing at 3 pm. Other brigades in the district who may wish to join up with the association here have also been notified of the meeting and invitaâ€" tions are extended to them to join and take part in the event. Two delegates from each member brigade are entitled to attend the conâ€" vention and the mayors of all towns and townships as well as the chairmen of the various fire and light commitâ€" tees are also invited to be present. This year the convention is to be strictly a business affair, though that Fgives it a wide scope, for there are so many problems in regard to fire fightâ€" ing and fire protection that much time may be taken up in discussing them. Also at the meeting next week officers of the association for the coming year will be elected, and there will likely be a general constitution drafted and adopted. Firemen of Cochrane District Here Soon The first annual tournament of the Cochrane District Firemen‘s Association was held at Cochrane on July 1st and proved an outstanding event. The anâ€" nual convention on Thursday next will no doubt be equally successful and pleasing. It is expected that there will be six municipalities represented at the meeting here. Fire Chief A. Borland is president of the association, and Alvin Leach, also of the Timmins briâ€" gade, is secretary. There was a rush of men to town the last week or two and these have been flocking to the Hollinger looking for work. There would seem to be no sense in ‘this procedure, there being hundreds of unemployed in town, and the special preference to established residents of the town stopping â€"chances for the transients. Kirkland Man Says His Life in Danger The Hollinger has adopted a new plan in regard to employment of any new men at the mine. Under this new plan those in charge underground and on surface really select their own new men. All applicants for work at the Hollinger are now being registered unâ€" der the new plan, which gives the first preference to men who have established residence in Timmins. Citizens of Timmins for a number of years are first considered, and the longer the residence the better the chances would seem to be, other things being equal. The way the plan is working out now the preference seems to be given not only to the wellâ€"established residents of Timmins but also to those with families or other responsibilities. According to a despatch from Port Colbourne, Ont.,. Isadore Spondor, marathon swimmer, who was taken out of the water in the Canadian: National Exhibition swim last month, before leaving Port Colbourne this week, asâ€" serted that his life was in danger from members of a ring which, he claimed, "doped" some swimmers in the recent marathon. Isadore Spondor Claims Swimmers in Exhibition Marathon were Doped. Says he has been Threatened Because he "Knows Too Much." Sponder said he had been threatened because he "knew too much" of the alleged doping activities during the big splash at Toronto, and those who threatened his life were afraid he would "spill the beans.‘" «He did not intend to do this, he said. Svondor said an unknown man had been shadowing him recently wherever he went. The swimmer, who was well up in former swims, had left Fort Colbourne Tuesddy and there it was believed he had gone to his home at Kirkland Lake. Preference Given to Established Citizens Little credence was given at Port Colbourne, however, to Spondor‘s charges though it was recalled George Blagden, of Memphis, the 1932 winner. had suspected his orange juice used during the last tace was tampered with.

Contractors got rich on prison labour. This was one of the causes of the riots in U.S. prisons. There was ncthing of this sort in Canâ€" ada. The goods made in the Canaâ€" dian prisons were not sold in the open market but were goods used by the governments, such as mail bags, clothâ€" ing, etc. Canada should be proud of its prisons, he said. It was unjust and wrong to condemn them. Men were not sert to prison to be pampered. They were there for punishment. Disâ€" cipline was necessary. There were rules to be observed and if the rules were not broken no man would be punâ€" ished in Canadian prisons where there was little brutality or harshness.

Lost Appeal and May Spend Christmas Day in Custody On August 8th Alfred Lapointe, Main avenue, was one of seven convicted on charges of illegally selling liquor and sentenced to three months at Haileyâ€" bury. Lapointe appealed the sentence and was allowed out on bail pending the decision in the appeal. On Saturâ€" day last Judge Caron dealt with tne appeal, and sustained the judgement of the magistrate in the case here. As is the rule in such cases Lapointe was allowed fifteen days from the time of the decision in the appeal case until called upon to serve the term originally imposed. He is understood to have been ready this week to start on the sentence, but the rule for the fifteen days‘ stay did not make this practical. Accordingly, if he serves the full time he will have to spend Christmas in jJail. The other six who started their terms as soon as convicted will be out of jail early in November.
