A garbled report of Coniaurum acâ€" tivities appeared this week in outside papers, but was clarified yesterday through the mine office here. John Reddington, mine manager, interviewed by The Advance, said that the sinking of the main shaft to the 3,706â€"foct level had been completed this week and that work would begin at once on the opening up of levels at 3,250 and 3,300 feet. The report had stated that Coniaurum officials had "announced that it was planned to sink the maim shaft to 3,600 feet."

In connection with the accounting system at the town hall, Mr. Chateauâ€" vert had a motion ready to present to the council, explaining that two small errors had been found in the payroll last year, which when brought by Exâ€" Councillior Maltais to the attention of the public works department, were promptly rectified. "But it never came before the counâ€" cil," interrupted Councillor Bartleman. "Oh, yes it did," said Mr. Chateauâ€" Other important matters brought up were: the passing of a byâ€"law setting the poll tax at $10; the passing of a byâ€"law authorizing the issue of $30,000 worth of debentures for the building of an addition t> Moneta school; the decision to transfer the bank account to another bank if moare favourable Interest rates can be obtained ‘than that that at present apply to the town‘s account.

Up to yesterday, less than 100 names had been added to the list prepared by the enumerators. In some of the newer places in this riding, as many as 500 names were placed on the list, and it was thought that Timmins should swell the total by more than a thousand.

Four other municipalities in Ontaria had been questioned, by leiter, as to what rate of interest they paid their banks. In three cases, it was found that the interest was oneâ€"quarter of one percent lower. Mr. Richardson had been in touch with the manager of the branch here in which the town| account is kept and within a week a decision will be handed in from the head of the concern. In the meantime, managers of other branches difficulties experienced in working in a place so small as the town hall, and said that he.knew every member of the staff worked hard.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 27TH, 1935 The Advance Not to Issue \_â€" _ Next Mondayâ€"a Holiday On account of Monday next, July Ist, being a national holiday, there will be no issue of The Advance on that day, the issue being missed to alâ€" !low noliday for staffs. The regular | issue will be resumed on Thursday, |_About 2.30 on Wednesday morning l’while Emil Teltheangof and a friend |from the Finnish boarding house at ‘South Porcupine were walking on the [ Davidson road, a car came along on its way to South Poorcupine and struck Teltheangof. The car went right over him but did not stop. It was going too fast for the other man to get the numâ€" ber though he can:give some descripâ€" tion of the car. A gentleman living at 16 Commercial avenue, Timmins, came along in a car shortly after and ‘picked !up the injured man and brought him iin to the South Porcupine hospital. There it was found that the injured ,man had his skull fractured as well as suffering internal injuries. He had no chance for recovery. He died about 7 | p.m. on Wednesday. The late Emil Teltheangof was about 30 years of age. He was not well known in South Porcupine and few particulars are available in regard to him. The police have been making every possible effort to locate the hitâ€"andâ€"run driver. Teltheangof‘s companion says the car was not only speeding. but it was also travelling on the wrong side of the road. A stolen car locateq in Timmins yesterday may be the car conâ€" cerned in the accident, some think, and effort is being made to locate the driver for questioning. No funeral arrangements have been made yet. Kosta Busich was a nativeâ€"born Croâ€" atian. He was single, living at 122 Fourth avenue, and though he has many friends in the disâ€" trict, there are no known relatives in this country. No inquest is necessary, it was deâ€" cided this morning. The Gregulskis say that Busich was a good swimmer and the only reason they can give as to the cause of the accident is that cramps must have takâ€" en hold of him as he took a dip before coming to meet them farther along the shore, citation apparatus. He worked on the body of Busich for 45 minutes, until the coroner pronounced the man dead. pine Motbante _ The late Chas. Roach came to Timâ€" _mins seventeen or eighteen years ago, being first with Meyer‘s Drug Store and later in company with A. Sauve, now of Sudbury, conducting a drug store here under the firm name of Sauve and Roach. In recent years the late Chas. Roach has been manager of the Gold Belt Brewery at Timmins. Some years ago he was an effective hockey player and stood high in amaâ€" teur ranks. He took great interest in sports of all kinds, and was himself recognized as a "good sport" in all the best meanings of the phrase. His death will be greatly regretted in wide circles. The deepest sympathy will go out sincerely to the bereaved wife, the father and mother and other near relaâ€" tives in their sad loss. The late Chas. Roach was 35 years old and a native of Cobden, Ontario. His father and mother, both residents of Cobden, have been here sincs it was known his condition was critical. It is expected that the body will be taken to Cobden for interment, probabâ€" ly on the noon train toâ€"morrow. Chas. Roach, one of the most popuâ€" lar business men of the town, and equally high in standing in sporting circles, passed away at noon toâ€"day at St. Mary‘s hospital after an illness of only a few weeks.

Ancther special guest of the evening was Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minister of Mines, Minister of Immigration and Colonization, and Minister ‘of Labour in the Dominion Cabinet. Hon. Mr. Gorâ€" don came from Ottawa to spend a few days in his own constituency and while in Kirkland Lake he was an interested guest at the Rosumanian event. He deâ€" livered a ‘brief but very effective adâ€" dress which was much appreciated by All present. The programme was opened with an inspiring address by Bruce Williams, barrister and solicitor of Kirkland Lake. His address was heard with the deepest interest and pleasure by the gathering. There was a very interesting event at Kirkland Lake on Sunday evening, twentyâ€"four Roumanian citizens memâ€" bers of the Orthodox Church here takâ€" ing part in a concert of unusual exâ€" cellence. Accompanying the artists to Kirkland Lake were about an equal number of friends and fellow countryâ€" men, two large buses being needed for the transportation of the young peoâ€" ple taking in the trip. * To say that the concert was a comâ€" plete success is to state the fact of the case. There was a variety of literâ€" ary and musical numbers, together with a number of speciaily well presented dances, enjoyable solos and effective recitals.

The programme for the two days is a notable ‘one and should atâ€" tract a specially large crowd from this area. The fact that a small disgrunâ€" tled clement in Cochrane itself has atâ€" tempted to wreck the programme for the two days should give added imâ€" petus to the natural desire of all gsod sports to enjoy the day and help its success. The programme as sketched below is certainly attractive in itself and the committees in charge may be depended upon to carry it through to the satisfaction of all.

"De Luca has admitted to police that he did make alterations in the payroll book and helped to defraud the town, but says he was induced to do so by Perreault and that he received only a very small portion of the money. In coming to pass sentence, it would apâ€" pear that De Luca is the one entirely responsibleâ€"andin thatâ€"case yourâ€"worâ€" ship would probably feel that a very substantial sentence would be necesâ€" sary. If it develops that Perreault was the main instigator and received the larger share of money, De Luca snould get some consideration." Crown Assistance Mr. Langdon explained that his client Romeo De Luca, charged with a simiâ€" lar offence, asked through his counsel, W. O. Langdon, that he be tried before the magistrate, but this was not grantâ€" ed, and he too will be tried this fall. Fairor to Have Both Tried at Once Crown Attorney S. A. Caldbick stated that the magistrate had authority to insist that the De Luca case go to a higher court, and that he felt he should exercise that authority. The charge as read against Perreault this week was that he, being employed as an accountant by the Town of Timâ€" mins, with the intent to defraud, did concur in the making by Romso De Luca of false entries in the payroll book.
