The company's property lies immediately west of and adjoin- ing the old Green-Meehan Mine near North Cobalt, and it was only about three weeks ago that diamond drilling was commenced. Principals of the company, R. C. Harrison, a former resident of Haileybury, who has been living in Toronto for some years past, and Thos. A. Hibbert, well known local man. They bought the claims on which the discovery was made back in 1917, when it was sold by the township of Bucke for taxes, and have added other ground at intervals since then until the company's hold- ings are now over 60 acres. The property is located one mile from North Cobalt station on the O.N.R. The vein from which the high grade core was taken lies under 30 feet of clay, Mr. Harrison, president of the company, states. It is typical of the high grade silver-cobalt ore which was found in such dance in the arly days of mining in the camp. The Hibbert property is part ofa large area of the characteristic cobalt series, underlying 30 feet of clay, which has never been explored, Mr. Harrison told The Hailey- burian last week. said this week that the sample shown him was an impressive one. It contained calcite, cobalt ore and high grade silver in large proportions, he said, intimating that the vein from which the core was taken must be of a very rich mineral content. The company was incorporated in 1913, Mr. Harrison said, but it was only this spring that ploration by diamond drill was started. There are thousands of acres of similar ground in the area, all lying under the clay, which have never been explored he declared, and he and his asso- that the ciates are convinced cobalt-silver veins are there if they are opened up. To the layman, the sample shown by Mr. Harrison is a beau- tiful one. The high grade silver is there in quantities that make an impressgve showing, and the cobalt ore is also plain to be seen. Residents of North Cobalt and the whole district are watching the development with consider- able interest and it is generally believed that anew and important mining' development is imminent.

A special session was arranged, to be held tomorrow evening, when matters which had to be left over will be taken up. Mayor I. A. Lytle and all members of the council, except councillor F. C. Sullivan, were on hand. First to be heard' was Frank J. McFarlane, who attended to dis- cuss the operation of the local airport, and particularly the small warehouse which he, as repre- sentative of a mining company, has under lease from the depart- ment of Transport. At the May meeting of council it had been de- cided to apply for the rental of the port, in the name of the mu- nicipality. Mr. McFarlane stated that he and local associates had made plans to improve the facili- ties of the port and to establisha boat livery together with an air service by one small plane. He contradicted statements made by one flier, to the effect that the airport was not available to the public, and agreed that if he re- tained control, all facilities would be taken care of. It was planned to spend between $1,500 and $2,000 in improvements, he said. The council decided to withdraw the application for a lease and leave the company in control. S.C. Foxall and M. Y. Rotman, of the company which operates Hotel Haileybury, presented an appeal for a reduction in the cur- rent year's taxes on the building, pointing out that no notice of the assessment made last summer had been received by the company. Consequently, no appeal had been made to the court of revision in the fall, and they stated the first intimation of an increase of some $3,000 in taxes they received was contained in the tax bill received in May of this year. Both gentle- men gave the history of their operations of the hotel at great length, stating that it was only last year when the enterprise showed its first profit. A great deal of money had been spent be- fore any return had been receiv- ed, they said, and the extra taxes this year would prevent some further improvements being made. They held that the hotel had been the means of bringing in many tourists, had filled a need in the community and was in all re- spects a public service, even a public necessity. It was explain- ed to them that the council had no power to make any changes in the assessment after the court of revision had been held and no appeal made at that time. It was stated definitely that all assess- ment notices had been mailed in the regular way, while on the other hand, Mr. Foxall, who is manager of the hotel, was just as positive that no notice had been received. The council decided to place the matter before the Department of Municipal Affairs and advised Mr. Rotman, who lives in Toron- to, to interview the officials of that department and to secure the services of a solicitor if he be- lieved a reduction was possible at this late date. Several real estate deals were made at the meeting, involving two houses and a number of va- cant lots. J. H. White, who oc- cupies a town-owned house on Blackwall street, had been offer- ed the property for $4,000, which he told the council he considered too high. He would be willing to pay $3,000, he said, but later in the meeting it was decided to not reduce the price set, which was considered a fair valuation. The other citizen who offered to buy a house was C. R. Haines, amember of the provincial police. He offered $300 for what is known as the "old Peterson house" at the western end of Broadway street, and agreed to move it toa location on Meridian avenue. His offer was accepted, although a higher bid had been made by E. Marcoux. Mr. Haines is an ex- service man who spent nearly seven years in the forces, and this was taken into consideration by the council. A. C. Mosher bought a lot near his Russell street property for $150; F. N. Smith's offer of $50 for one on Cecil street was also accepted; M. J. Dolan will pay $75 fora lot in the south end, and a lot on Latchford street was sold to Mrs. F. C. Sullivan for $150. An offer to purchase a lot on View street, made by Paul Be- langer, was held over. The bidder said he planned to build a house costing $2,000. The council agreed to trade a lot to Mrs. E. Sadler, Albert street, for another she owns, with the stipulation that the purchaser would pay the difference of $20 in the assessed valuation of the properties, to- ether with costs of the trans- fers. All deals are subject to ap- proval of the Department of Municipal Affairs. The council spent some time in discussing the proposal for an agreement with Wartime Hous- ing Limited, made a week or two ago, but no decision to adopt the plan was reached. In this con- nection there was a letter read from the local branch of the Can- adian Legion, which asked for an opinion on the pro- ject. The Legion had voted, at a special meeting held"on Monday, in favor of the plan, provided the town would uridertake to sell lots (Continued on Page 2) Week's Weather Week ending June 11th, 1947 Max.
