Mr. Royu.sraid(t,hat all the neighbors lmd objected to Mr. Feld- man's proposal and Mr. Brigham had been asked to see that the deed from Mownsite Company was enforced in this regard. Mr. Roy felt sure that Mr. Brigham would not overlook the matter, but in the meantime he was simply asking the Council if they had any information of anything fur- ther in the question. The Mayor ex- plained that the matter was beyond the jurisdiction of the Couneil, but any ratepayer could likely secure an ihiudtion against such a building con- ttary to the terms under which all the Townsite deeds were made. Coun- cillor King thought it might be worth while for the Town to consider the feasibility of a by-law to prevent the injury to residential properties through commercial buildings on resi- dential streets. Reference was made to the case of Mr. Shub who had also built out three feet, but he “ad first got the consent of all the other ad- joining property-holders who did not consider it any particular injury. r, poles on the road. ir On motion of Couneillors Noble and King instructions were given for the preparing of the necessary by-law for Car-special tax to be imposed on non- jisers of water who still have the bene 'trttr of fire protection. §§,;,§'T~he town engineer was instructed mdvertise for tenders for the cou- 'i, etion of the sidewalks to he built (tisis year.

From; January lst to June :l0th/1921, there) were 93 births registered, togetherl with 34 marriages and 23 deaths.1 These flgitres, of course, are for the' Town of Timmins only and do not in-) elude the "suburbs" like iuonettt,) Rochester, ete. The list of births isl particularly pleasing, the total for the six months being about 75 per cent: of the average birth rate for the ordi-f nary past year. During the past four or hve years the birth rate has been' from 115 to 150 per year. In 1916 it was 121 and in 1918 it was 144, the other years varying between these " gures. The number of marriages for the six months also shows that-this year will likely exceed previous ~rears in this regard, however, is not a very elose cheek on the number of marri- ages affecting Timmins, so many here being married in the south and 'then (routing to this camp to live, the mar- riage thus not being registered here. The figures for the deaths suggests that the number of deaths for the year will be below the number for other recent years despite the note- worthy increase of population. In ’1 He tration deaths ing the indieati 1916 there were 60 deaths, this being a low average remrd fur the earlier years at the Camp. Jn 1918 there were 112 deaths and in 1919 and 1920 the figures were a little higher than this. With only 23 deaths for the hrst six months, this year promises to make a new luw record for deaths here. If the birth rate is doubled in Timmins and the death rate, out in two from previous years, 1921 will be an excellent year so far as vital sta- tisties are concerned. . the main and made all ready to be connected up in the cellar when the disposal plant was ready. The end of the cellar could be sealed so as to prevent any attempt at its use until the disposal plant was, ready. When. the disposal plant was ready the tin- al connections could be made. Such a plan would certainly save a lot of time and allow for a lot of eonneet- ions to be made this year that could not otherwise be attended to. The Provincial Board of Health did not favour any such plan, but if the par- ticular circumstances were made plain, to them and assurance given that the town ,would see that no use was made of the sy- stem until the disposal plant was all ready, the Board might be induced to approve the plan. ' The Town Engineer asked as to the plans for making the connections to the houses, whether this was to be on the local improvement, plan or each property-holder to secure a contractor himself to do the work under the ap- proval of the Town. The latter plan would be the easiest for the Town. This was the method that appealed tq the Council as it seemed to be the cheapest for the individual property- holder in the long run. Couneillor Newton pointed out the necessity for a concrete walk on Third Avenue between Maple and Bireh.Only an oversight on the part of the property-owners had prevented a petition going in before for this bad ly-needed work. After some diseas- sion on the matter Mr. Newton mov- ed, seconded by Mr. Morin, that the' walk be built. On motion of Conn- eillor Noble, it was moved in amend- ment that the matter be referred to the Public Works Committee and the motion be laid over until next meet- ing. The amendment carried. On motion of Couneillors Noble and Longmore instructions were given for the drawing up of the necessary sew- er by-law. ping two or three (it the prupuseu new walks. It was considered that the walk on the south side of 2nd. Avenue from Pine to Balsam eould be left over this year, also the walk on 4th Avenue, Cedar to Balsam. The advisability of dropping construction of a couple of other strips of walk un- til the streets concerned were guided was also considered.-At preseyt, how- ever, the Council were-agreed on the necessity for hurrying the eonstruet- ion of the walks, so that as much as possible of the work would be done possible ( this year, The matter ot suiev ions was again before and discussion took ph Ding two or three of T?] suiewi " the proposed considered that 1th side of 2nd.

Negotiations are said to be practically completed now in re- gard to'this merger and all arrange- ments finally in order and eompleted. The largest'shareholders in both com- panies are understood to be strongly in favour of the more while the small- er shareholders in general feel the same way and there is no active op- ger will follow soon. Tlie amalgamat- ed properties will be known as the Consolidated West Dome Lake Limit- ed. The merger will he followed by active work on the combined proper- ties. It is expected that the Dome Lake mill will be increased to about 250 tons per day and other extensions of plant made to accommodate the needs of the amal,gamated properties. During his visit to the Camp, Mr. Sherrill and Engineer Stevenson of the West Dome Consolidated, visited both properties on an inspection tour. er shareholders in general teel the same way and there is no active op- position to the plans, proposed. A special general meeting of each com- pany will be called for an early date and official annoueement of the mer- Matter CoNirmed and Arrangements Said to be Practically Concluded. They examined the Dome Lake plant in connection with the proposals for extensions. Mr. C. W. Dowsett, as- sistant general manager of the Dome Mines, accompanied them on their visit' to the Dome Lake mill. The final and official announeenient of the merger of' these properties will be. awaited with interest, as the gener- al opinion is that both would pt'Mit by the amalgamation. West Dome is particularly developed to the 300-foot level and has some rich ore. Dome Lake has been developed to the 600- foot level and below and has a good quantity of ore ready for blocking out. Dome Lake has also a mill and plant of value. MIME [ME illlll WEST HUME Ill flltjllilllliM llililt ALL GOOD SPORTS SHOULD REMEMBER AUGUST 3rd.

They may be depend- ed upon to put up a strenuous Intttle and an interesting game. The principal work at the police 'eolu't here to-morrow will he eases of brew-hes of the new trath'e by-law. Chief Greer and his s/taff are showing that. they intend to strictly enforce the traftie rules and regulations for the publie safety. After a Couple of weeks in which special attention was given to the matter a large number checked up and warned, it is felt now that drivers must have full know- ledge of the regulations and the best LUCK SEEMS TO BE AGAINST THE MINES LEAGUE GAMES. way for furthqr eheeking up is through the kindly schooling of Ma.. gistrate Atkinson. He is an excellent teacher in such matters. Aieording- ly there is an array for this Thurs- day's court of those who keep on ap- parently failing to observe the traftie ru‘les and regulations. 'Mike Clie? will face the charge of being on the wrong side of the street, contrary to the by-law. John Gra‘bOski is charg- ed with allowing a child under Iii to drive a motor vehicle. Dave Pierce is accused of parking: his car on the wrong side. G.

Ed. lPoitras is another charged with parking his car on the wrong side of the street. Two motor drivers from Sehumaeher, whose numbers were duly secured, but whose names have not yet been obtained, will also be required to an- swer to charges of disobeying the laws regarding traffie. This makes seven eases under the traffle by-law and there may be others before the court sits. . At to-morrow"s, police court. it will not all be traliic by-aw cases.

Also there are a num- her of bases remanded from last week to be taken up. 1lyall team has put up wntests this 5035011 but little outclassed by the An old-time prospector last week appealed to The Advance to try and disabuse the minds of the heads of the Department of Minss and the Gov verment generally of any idea that any reduction in the amount of work required to he done on claims each year is any favour or benefit to real prospectors. This old-timer sees any such reduction as a drawback and an injury to the real honest-to-goodness prospector. First of all work on the claims is absolutely necessary to show up the property, to indicate its Pros- peets and possibilities. The real prospector does not hope to get any returns for his time, labour and hard- ship in locating his find until he has spent a eonsiderable amount of work on it to show what its possibilities may be. He is prepared for this. In general he is anxiuos to do the work as soon as possible, and to do as much work as possible, so that 119 may de- velop the claim to tl point where oth- ers may realize its value. In the next place, the average prospector up in this country does not want to see assessment work too "easy," because sueh "easiness" is to the advantage only o'l" those holding claims who are not real prospectors, but are using claim-holding as a side-line. The or- dinary prospet-tor not only expects to do his own assessment work, but in most eases he looks to doin'g some of the aseessmeut work for absentees. This work helps to carry him, along while he is waiting for his claims to reach the point iwhere they can be pvoh'ta1tly sold. Assessment. work for absentees is one of the honest-to-good ness prospertor's most desirable ways of g:ruh-staking: and carrying on. Thus, it is evident that too "easy" terms of assessment work, instead of being a blessing: to the prospector, are objectionable in, two ways:-they re- duce his outside earnings and they give him no desired advantage on his own claims. What the real pruspeetor desires, what is best all round for the real prospector, is a reasonable amount of work to be done each year on mining claims. If it is really desired to help prospeeto1's the Department of Mines can find numerous ways of giving: ae- eeptable assistance 'by cutting out red tape, etc. The Department is handi~ capped by having in charge a Minist- er who neither knows the North (Land nor the mining industry, and who Real Prospectus Want to Work On Their Claims. Reduction of Work in Favour of Speculators. Mlllmlfglll till MES "ilh" ASSESSMENT illllllll Work at the Premiertaymaster continues to meet with very promis- ing results. What has been done so far indicates that there is a big body of commercial ore on the property. This body of ore, while having many touches of free gold and other indi- cations of hi.ssh-grade spots, is ehiedy remarkable for its apparent extent and the thorough mineralization of the ore. In general the property seems to be after the type of the Big Dome, with very extensive bodies of fair-grade lore. Present development suggests that the "glory hole” form of mining used at the Dome before the “utter part of that property may also be practical in working parts of the Premier-Paymaster. Attention now is 'being given specially to drift- ine. while eross-euttine will also be lacks the character to stand out flatly against the Premier't apparent unin- telligent interferences. Before mon- keying with assessmentworkterms th Department should get in touch with real prospectors who can give a fair and reasonable review of the. situa- tion and what is really required. Any special eases requiring relief may saef ly be left to the Mining Court, but in general the principle of a reason- able amount of assessment work neces sary each year on all mining claims should be strictly adhered to in the interests alike of the prospectors and the country. .

Both the staff of the Hamilton B. Wills and Co. and the T. & ND. and Express Co. staffs admit this; They were the teams playing. "Slim" says it was a ease of the Wills against the Won'ts, but "Jimmy" admits that the Wills Can't and the Wort't Never Could. The Wills win, the score being 28 to 16, Sol. claiming, however, that this was not the score but simply the time of the game, rail- road-saving time. lStatford pitched for the T. & ND. allies. His delivery was a little slow, as might be expect- ed, seeing he is connected with the express company. Don. Campbell caught for Stafford. Everybody said, "Isn't Oon just fme,--at hockey." Frank McGuire pitched for the Brok-, ers. “Slim” protested, "Why," he's no broker,---he's no broker than I am." George Kendall caught for Frank, however, and it was all right. Jack Easton and "Pikie" made a good job of umpiring, making both sides sure at them for a couple of rogues, thus showing that they were fair and square. The boys had lots of fun in the game and the crowd en- joyed it, so it WAS a good game. Joking aside,such games give splendid recreation and sport and should be enjoyed by all concerned, players and spectators alike. More of them will be welcomed. They make tine prac- tiees, create lots of interest and it- musement, and bringr forward muc‘t otherwise undiseovered talent.
