This undertaking will furnish work for a few hundred men who are now out of work, and will be a great convenience to the people of the North Country. Our roads up here are fine, with the exception of the highway, and it should be plowed. The government has hundreds of snow plows working in Scouthern Ontario. Why cannot we have a few up here angq keep the highâ€" way open all the year round? We pay millions in taxes and where does it go? have fers for the formerly a picture and offered the secured the Asking the Government to Complete Sesekinika Road "Speaking to the man who was in charge of the work he affirmed that as the shaft went down they accumulated the ore in bags until finally they had 1,000 of them at the shaft head. As a rough imethod of sampling they took chunks out of every tenth bag and had the bulk assayed. The values only ran $7 to the ton angq all hands were disâ€" gusted. They almost decided to throw tario angq richly deserved its name. Noâ€" body knows how much came out of the chimneyâ€"like deposit as it was owned by a private groupn but there must have been plenty. "Apropos of the discussion which is now taking place amongst mining men as to the best method of sampling rich gold ore in a vein, it is interesting to recall the experience of the men who first operated the old Croesus imine near Matheson. This is the outstandâ€" ing example of high grade ors in Onâ€" The story of the Croesus Mine in Munrce townshin, near Matheson, is one of particular interest, and always well worth hearing. From time to time varicus features of the story have been dealt with by this and other newsâ€" papers. In many respects it was truly a remarkable mine. Writing last week in The Northern Miner, W. J. Gorman, writer of "Grab Samples," has the folâ€" lowing to savy: sSamples Highâ€"Grade at the Old Croesus Said that Miners Got Nearly as Much Gold from the Mine as the Owners Did. romoted the he third and ompleted. Th Caln Still another change pianned by the hospital authorities to guard the quinâ€" tuplets from danger is the plan whereby it is intendeqg to alter the door frames in such a way as to remove the possiâ€" bility of the small fingers of the chilâ€" dren being jammed in the doors. Under the principle that there should be no possibility of the Dionne children being injured, the door jambs are to be proâ€" tected in such a way that the chilâ€" dren will have practically no chance to injure themselves. Albert Simard, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Simard of Haileyjury, was among a number of theological students to be ordained as priests at Quebec City on Saturday last.

The turning on of the lights doss not particularly endanger the children, though there may be a slight risk with the youngsters fooling with the light buttons. However, there are other matters in which the youngâ€" sters are actually in material danger. One of these is in regard to the fact that the five babies seem io have deâ€" veloped a regular craze for pounding on the glass windows of their playroom. This practice, it is felt, might easily reâ€" sult in one or other of the children being seriously cut by flying glass. As a consequence of this, it has been deâ€" cided to install shatterproof glass in all the windows of the playroom. With the shatterproof glass in place the danger of bad cuts from flying glass will be removed. ‘Blairmore Enterprise:â€"George says he‘ll never marry a woman so long as he can buy a talking machine for $30.
