The next place to be entered was Carson's Grocery, where only a few cents in cash was secured, but where the rob- bers made off with a pound of tea and a 15 cent package of bis- cuits, after drinking a couple of bottles of ginger ale. They got in the store through the office window at the rear, and went out through the back door. They also broke into the passageway at the rear of the post office, leading to the basément, but ap- parently did not enter the main missed there.

Hold Session of Supreme Court Here Next Week Two Divorce Cases on Civil List of Eight Actions; Three Criminal Charges Two divorce cases, the first to be tried in a court in Haileybury, are on the list of eight civil ac- tions for the spring sitting of the Supreme Court, which will open here on Tuesday next, April 7th, with Mr. Justice Garrow presid- ing. The parties to the actions for divorce are Sonia Rosenburg vs. Saimuel S. Rosenburg, and Arthur Thompson vs. Julia Thompson. Those involved are from points further north.

Thousand Feet of Gold Bearing Vein Uncovered McNabb Brothers Have Likeiy Property in Night Hawk Lake District The three McNabb brothers, Angus, Duncan "and David, who have spent the past fivé-months on their property in Macklen township, in the Night Hawk Lake area, have what they con- sider to be one of the most likely prospects that have been opened up in that district in recent years. They recently returned home af- ter spending the winter on their claims, where they have uncov- ered a gold bearing vein for a distance of a thousand feet and, while their assays have not yet been completed, they believe that the property will prove of merit. The property consists of eight claims, two of which they have held for several years and have patented. This winter they stak-| ed six more claims, rounding out the block and did considerable work. They state that they have gold showings across a width of} some 25 feet and that they have] stripped the vein for a distance] of 500 feet. The gold is in car-| bonite quartz and porphry, the ideal formation in which to find the precious metal, and they have Nopes that it will develop into a mine. In the meantime, until the results of the assays are known, they have taken no steps for fur- ther development. The property lies-within a mile and a half of Night Hawk Lake and is 20 miles from the railway at Connaught, on the Porcupine branerh. It is in a southeasterly direction from Timmins and is on the western extension of the Kir-! kland Lake belt. HOLD CLASSES FOR ate we APRIL 9TH with everything | _PROSPECTORS HERE Se.

This can be secured from a study of the public accounts of the Province, which is issued in book form and covers the year ending with October 31st last. book it is that, while the sum of ten mil- lions was voted for the North \last year, less than eight millions |was spent, the exact figures be- Jing $7,912,097.59. From this is to lbe deducted the amount paid out pe loans to settlers, creameries, reached $67,450 for From the learned etc., which the year, leaving a net expendit- ure of $7,844,647.59. Of this am- ount by far the greater part went in the construction of roads and |bridges, over seven million dol- jlars having been thus spent, be- sides an account of over nineteen thousand dollars which is listed under colonization roads. Of the amounts spent in the districts of Nipissing, Temiskam- ing and Cochrane, the Ferguson Highway still accounts for con- siderable sums, although these are smaller than the previous year when more new construction was carried out. In the districts fur- ther south this highway cost a large percentage of the road money, the figures given for Dis- trict No. 1, with headquarters at | Huntsville, being $947,725.45 for |\the Ferguson Highway out of a total of $1,191,525.95, In District No. 2, North Bay, the total expenditure was $562, 038.91, of which $27,752.99 was spent on the Ferguson Highway: ' Phe propertion Was greater in District No. 5, New Liskeard, with \$226,542.00 spent on the highway out of a total of $512, 136.41.
