kg I I Mr. P. Antoine asked the Council about his chances to secure a restaur- ant license. He wanted to sell pie, sandwiches, tea, coffee and caller food, and keep open on Sundays for this purpose. The Council pointed out 'cl t the restaurant license was only :5 . .00 per year and if "he could show F . Chief of Polite that he had a bona F a restaurant conducted on proper 7 he would secure the necessary t, e in the ordinary way. "rr. J. P.

The matter was left, on mo- tion of _Couneilyors Noble and Newton, isrthe hands of the Band Committee of the Council. Further progress was made in the formalities for the annexation of the new Hoilinger Townsite to the Town of Timmins. The Mayor also said that he would see the Solieitor about pushing along the routine of annex- ing Mattagami and Mattagami Heights. or the Cannon. Mayor Mglnnis Peing curled away, Eng meeting continued with Councillor L. s. Newton in the chair as Acting Mayor. Fire Chief Bo land was appointed weighmaster offfhe new town scales. A sohedule of rates for the weigh smiles is to be drawn up. Mayor McInnis referred to the re- cent settlement of Mr. White's case against the Town, in connection with the town's use of Mr. White's house as an isolation hospital. The case was settled out of court, the Town escaping further costs, ete., in this way. The Town had agreed to pay Mr. White $800.00 for the building when he gave the necessary deeds, etc. The Mayor thought the house would make an ideal isolation hospital so far as its location was concerned. All that remained was to secure a lease from the owners of the land. On motion of Councillors Morin and King instructions to secure this required lease Were given. The. Town Engineer was instructed to have the necessary sewer connect- ions made for the municipal buildings, town hall, fire =ha‘ll, etc. J.-E. Morin were present. A motion was received from the residents of the north part of Cedar street complaining of the bad eond1.. tion of the road and asking for relief. The Chairman of the Board of' Works and the Town Enginer are lo see if anything can be done at this time to imerove matters. iit number of requests were receiv- ed regarding income taxes. One man’s case was that he had not been receiving the income assessed against him for some time past. Another, assessed. on the "single" man basis had moved his f'ami'ly here in April. Other requests along these line-s were to hand. Councillor ‘Longmore thought that some of them were de- serving of refunds or adjustment, but he'pointed out that the Council had no authority to reduce the taxes. The proper procedure was to make re- funds in guch cases as were found on investigation to warrant it, the taxes to-be paid in the usual way in the meantime. The Council agreed that this was the only procedure that. could be followed, and all the eases will have full, investigation and refunds make where law and equity demand such action.

The matte‘ of lights for the now Hollinger Townsite was brought be fore the Council. It was felt that unless the poles were put in at once it might be dilh'eult, to get them in- stalled before spring. Fon'sthaentiy the need for dealing with the question .at once, and on motion of Coucnillors King and Morin the Town Engineer was instructed to arrange with Power Co. and the Hollinger for the work to he done at once. i Chief Greer called attention to the need for a butter fat tester. There were many complaints recently regard ing upoor milk, but the police were handicapped having no means of test- ing for anything but cleanliness. The Acting Mayor pointed out that a re- solution of the Council some taro or three months ago had authorized the purchase of a butter fat luster. The delivery of the tester, however, seem- ed to be slow, and the ftrm receiving the order would be hurried along no w. only the one connection was necessary in each case, as this central block was occupied by the Catholic church and School only. Thus about 24 property owners were to pay double the actual cost of the work, while there were only the two or three long connections to be made. As he understood the Town had planned to make the con- neetions at cost, he thought the mar. ter should be considered. Several other property owners from the streets referred to were also present in connection with the matter. In willy, the Acting Mayor pointed out that where the sewer ran dawn one side of the street it would not be fair to charge the owners on the far side for the, extra length of connection. The present plan was accordingly tt- dopted- as'being the fair one for all. In addition it was thought that a case ’like that referred to would be offset hy instances where it was the other way round, the connections to the pro- perties on the south side of Fourth Avenue being a case in point. The Town Engineer further pointed out that the Provincial law regulated the matter and the Council could not ad- just the matter other than had been done, as the Act required that where sewer mains did not run in the centre the charge for connections to the pro- perty lines should be made on both sides of the road at the same rate as it' the sewers were in the centre, ing."

As pleasant and appropriate a way as why be found to observe Hal- lowe'en this year is to attend the Dance to be given by the St. Mat- thew 's Girls' Auxiliary in the Mason- ie Hall on Monday evening, Oct. 31ist. Dances under the auspices of [the Girls’ Auxiliary are always enjoyable social events and the Dance on Hai- lowe’en will have a number of spe- cial features. HALLOWEEN DANCE BY THE GIRLS’ AUXILIARY Or will Premier Drury and his Ca- binet find a way and a means to help this country and its industries, not to hinder? _ . In view of the striking benefit in the way of employment, in 'view of the large outlay of private money ready for this important development, can not the Government do something, and do it quickly, 'to show that it is ready to encourage and support Tt plan that promises great assistance in the develobment and expension of this part of the North Land? Monday, Nov. 7th. is Thanksgiving Day this year in Canada. One of the things to be thankful for is that ALL the Blue Laws have not been put back in force. Then, is it not a fact that there is suitieient water Power available north of here for both the T. & N. O. and the Harbinger? . And is it not a fact that even if. the purpose is to sell surplus power, after the eleetrifieation of the T. & N. O. is provided for, the T. & N. o. will not be ready to supply power for three or four years at least, while the Hollin- gar would be ready to help the pro- gress of the country in this way in a few months”! . Are the industries of the North Land to wait on the convenience of the 'T. & N. o. without necessity or due and suffieient reason? Will the Government stand thus in the way of the expansion and develop ment of this part of the North Land? And did not the Government. neglect or delay to give the Hollinger Conso- lidated the necessary rights in this matter of power development? Is it answered that it is desired to reserve this power for the T. & N. o. Commission? . Is not the employment of 2000 men and the expenditure of $3,000,000.00 of private eapital very desirable at the present time? Is it not a foot that the Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines applied for the right to develop power on Uhe Abi- tibi River, and that without the power thus planned to be developed, is it not a fact that the Big Mine is hartdieap- ped in expanding its great industry? Is it not a fact that the Hollinger is ready to make noteworthy additions to its equipment and output, and add many more men to its staffs, just as soon as it has the right assurance of that yery necessary ample power for the enlarged needs? Is it not a fact that the Hollinger stood ready to develop its own power at its own cost to meet its own needs"! Is it not a fact that the Hollinger was ready to do that same right away, and be ready to deliver power 'to its own mine early in 1922? Mus the Hollinger not ready to ex- pend no less than $3,000;000.00 in less than a year to providehhis boon to the progress of the North Land? If the Government desires these things, is the Government ready to take the necessary action to assist in securing these desired advantages, es- peeially when the Province may do all this without loss or cost? Was not the Hollinger ready in this connection to push the work with the greatest despatch and energy, giving employment to over 2000 men at once? Does the Government desire a very material assistance, yithout the es- penditure of a cent of public money, in the solving at least of part of the pressing unemployment problem now facing the Province? Does the Government desire the ex- pansion of North Land industries, with the consequent prosperity and progress that will ensue, benefitting and enriching Ihe south as well as the North? pro We tullnwlng Questions are respect fully submitted to the Ontario Oo.. vernment, with the hope that they may receive the special attention and consideration of Premier Ih'ury:---. Does the Ontario Government wish to see the North Land develop and tress "If we haven't a golf course, we have lots of grass, and some enthusi- astic golf players here," says Mr. Geo. A. Smith. With golf so popular in Timmins, Iroquois Fails, Cochrane, Kirkland Lake and Haileybury, local enthusiasts see the possibilities for a great deal of the game next year, not orsly in the individual towns mention.. ed, but also in inter-town matches. If there wert a series of games between the golfers of the several towns re- ferred do, it would undoubtedly in- crease the already noteworthy inter- est now shown throughout all this dis- trim in the aneient and honorable Golf enthusiasts here are looking, forward to a great season in their be- loved game in this district in 1922. In the meantime, however, they are still playing golf and intend to keep on playing golf until the snow gets "too" deep. Between times they con- sider the bright prospects for next year. Iroquois Falls then will have its fine new links completed. Hailey- bury has taken up golf without re- serve, the town nearly making it un- animous, women being as enthusiastic as men. Kirkland Lake is likely to have a golf course next year, there he- ing a number of golf enthusiasts in that camp. Although there is no golf course in Coehrane, there are several golf players there and they have been playing golf this year without the formality of hiwime a regular course. A special fare of one cent per mile is to be the rate for the return trip on this train. As The North Land Post suggests in its issue last week, the T. & NA). Commission is doing all possible to assist in making the day a big success. IThe programme outlined for the day is understood to include a luncheon, served in 'Peel's Hall at noon to Pre- mier Drury and his colleagues, the T. & N.O. Commission and ofhejals and invited guests. At 2.30 pm, the ceremony of turning the first sod will be performed by Premier Drury, and then there will be a public, meeting in the Empire Theatre, with Mayor Ivy of Coehrane presiding. At this meet- ing a presentation will be made and offieial speeches delivered. A dance in the evening will conclude what Cochrane will naturally consider as One of the red-letter days in the his- tory of the town. For Cochrane the ceremony on Friday means, as its newspaper says, "tht realization of years of dreams and visions, the sue- cessful result after long years of ide, f'atigabye, patient and persistent work to educate the rest of the Province to a fuller understanding of the vastness of the wealth to be uncovered and brou,g,ht into the sphere of available riches for the benefit of the Province as a whole.” GOLF ENTHUSIASTS LOOK POR A GREAT SEASON IN 1922 est now s triet in came of , At the request of the Cirehtune Board " Trade, it is understood, Pre- mier Drury has consented to personal- ly turn the first sod on the projected extension of tthe T. & N. o. Railway from Coehrane about 70 miles north to Tin Can or Oil Can. The interest- ing ceremony is to be held on Friday afternoon of this week, Oct. 38th, at 2.30 on]. A number of distinguished visitors are expected to be in Coelrane for the auspicious occasion. In addition to Premier Drury it is expected there will also be two or three members of the Ontario Cabinet, Chairman Geo. W. Lee of Itthe T. & N. o. Commission, Commissioners Col. Martin and Col. McLaren, leading officials of the road, and others. Invitations have also been sent out to the Mayors of all the Towns and the Presidents of all Boards of Trade between Coehrane and North Bay.

The whole property, so far as explored, seems to be thoroughly mineralized through- out. A section four lhundred feet wide and three thousand feet long has been uncovered, and this (to put the matter very mildly is apparently very high- grade ore. Of course, nothing now is known as to conditions at depth, bat trenching and other work done show the same conditions seem to follow downwards. Anyway, a body of this sort of ore would not need to go very deep to be a wonderful property..All of this may seem rather hard to tre- lieve, but the assays, the samples, and the investigations carried on suggest the property to be one that it would be diffieult to overestimate. Those who know Gordon Murray know that So far it has been easy enough to write about the matter, bat now to at- tempt any description or reference to the samples of ore and the richness of the property as it appears presents great diffieulty. To write about "large bodies," "striking showings of free gold," “spectacular high grade," ete. does not do justice to the unusual fea- tures of this case. On the other hand, to attempt to give the straight facts about the case is to tempt a charge of exaggeration. Those who have seen the samples of ore, however, know that it would be diffieult to exagger- ate in this case. Yet the apparent truth seems almost too good to be true. Mr. Murray has a large num- ber of samples with him, none of them "pieked" samples. They were tair. 'en from various paris of the property. The ore is of a richness that outshines even the famous Croesus. A large number of assays have been made, and one of the "poor" one eertifies $500 in gold per ton.' A “slightly better one" runs in the thousands; others go as high as $50,000.00, $100,000.00, and one went over /p"200,000.00 in gold lo the ton. And these samples were picked up, one might say, “any old place” on the find. When they were broken off peppering and streaking and knobs of free gold were revealed and further 'breaking of the ore slros- ed the some sort of thing. It was ne- cessary to leave the property well guarded Joy trust-worthy men as wherever there was any work done gold was exposed in unusual showings.

Mr. C. E. iPinelle, the president, says it is the intention of the company as soon as this hund- red miles is completed to then run the line as suggested through to Timmins. This should be good news indeed for those who wish to see transportation problems solved and the North Land developed at n more rapid rate than. heretofore. Mr. Pinelle was a rail... road man for many years before he come to the North Land some 17 years ago. He rose from the ranks of rock drill striker on what is new ithe Grand Trunk Railway between Severn Bridge and Gvavenlvutsst in Muskoka, to the positionof trainmaster at, a fashion, able pleasure resort station in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. Then he was superintendent over 500 men in the experimental de.. partment of the Edison Electric Co., Schenectady, N. Y., for 12 years. He was the organizer of the New York State Farmers' Association, ttttid con- ducted three large stores for them. He enlisted during the war in the Royal: Air Force, and became the chief ins- tructor in the wireless apparatus shop. Mr. Pinelle is the owner and staker of a large number of promising mining properties in the North Land particularly in the Kirkland and Le- bel sections. One of these properties 'he recently sold for $45,000. He has high standing in the North Land and Iris associwtes in the railroad construc- tion company are equally well-known and esteemed. It does not therefore seem to be too much to expect that the new railway will be a success and a very decided benefit and advantage to the development of this part of the Nontli Land. The Murray claims in question are in the Elbow Lake district, north of the Pas, Manitoba. They are over a hundred miles from the nearest rail- road and the trip has to be made by canoe in summer and dog team in win- ter, all suppiles having to go also by these primitive routes. Work in such regions means hardship and courage and deserves high reward. If the Murray chairman Elbow Lake develop with *the promise given now by the ore from them, oNrthern Ma- nitoba will have one of the richest gold mines in Canada. . Word was received in town this week regarding a rather serious fra- cas at .MeTntosly Springs on Monday. Particulars and details are not 'avail- able, but it would appear that some sort of a. dispute or unpleasantness occurred, during which guns were brought into play. As a result one man is laid up for a time, having been shot through the leg, the wound, how- ever, not being expected to be il dan- gerous one. Mr. R. S.

Thus the new rail- wa.v,---vriginally designed 4PS 'a narrow gauge tight railway, hut now being- constructed for standard gauge,--will connect up all our present known primipul mining camps.
