Mr. Catton held the i ‘ reeveship. a position he was" in'luced to accept by a portion of l the electorate. notwithstanding9E the fact that he had. no previous . . . . . ., 1 n umc1pal experience. He dis~har 1 rd his duties well. showing ability 1 in his management of town affairs, and from reports of his domgs in ‘ council. his opinions - the county there were regarded as sound. As we have already said, he never as- pired for office, and we were anxi- see him have another year. at least. At the nomination he nade a very clear presentation of the year’s work. He stated plain honest facts. without egotism or hombast. and left the electors Wit!) the impression that he would again be a candidate. We have not been told. Why he failed to file his qualifications, and to say he gave up in .dirgu‘st and indiffer- ence to the paltry honor of the office is only a mere conjecture. Mr. Calder was evidently more anxious for office. and he was left with a clear field. ous to l DURHAM, DECEMBER 28. 1916. As to Mr. Laidlaw’s aspirations for the nayoralty, we have no positive assurances of his ambition for the position. In fact, he as much as said. he had no intention Mr. Hunter were the only two nominated, and when the latter in- timated he was not going to stand for re-election, Mr. Laidlaw was alone. and got in by acclamation. es. anti to keep the law. During the year a by-law was ‘ introduced making it imperative : to have the taxes paid before the ‘ 12th of December each year, or ' add five per cent. An effort of ‘ the majority present at one of the closing meetings Was made to nullify the by-laW, but Mr. Catton stood firm. and being defeated. left the council table in apparent disgust. declaring he would have mothing more to do with it. This may account largely for his re- fusal to be a candidate. Of the eleven candidates for council honors, six are to be chos- en. and. the others left. It is to be hoped the choice may be a wise one and that the 1917 council may give us a fair share of good max-P nicipal legislation. There are two monev by-laws to be voted on, one for $5,000 to pay off the shortage on the Hydro, and the other for $1,000, to make up the High School deficit. Both should be carried, to distribute the payment over the times speci- fied. ..._ "31}: and Mrs. Thos. m Fort Frances are visitin mer’s parents and other this vicinity: 11'? h _‘+‘ tana, parents, MT- rence, Sr., ‘1? the vicinity.

Situated in the beautiful Kaap val- ley. in the Jamestown district of Bar- berton. Transvaal. there is a mine known by the name of Verdite. The name was given to it on account or the peculiar green stone found in the mine, which is unknown in any other part of the globe. Articles of jewelry and or- naments are made of verdite. and it has been called the lucky greenstone at South Africa. The greenstone is a silicate of mag- nesia, or talc, colored green by mturo in the course of its formation. Other silicates of magnesia may be' men- tioned here, peridot, serpentine, meek schanm and steatite. The mine, or rather hill, consists of three varieties or talcâ€"green, white and black. But a'pecnllar fact is that in the black tslc there is present pure gold. Some or the finest specimens of gold bearing rock. have been found at this mine. Every one knows that gold is found in quartz. pyfites or even sea water, but scarcely ever has it been mentioned in books that gold exists in When the verdite rock has gone through the ordinary process of crash- ing and the gold has been extractedtho waste (or what 13 called the slimes of a gold mine) is used in the manufac- ture of soap, grease, paint, paper, toi- let powders, gas jets, electric insula- tors, crayons and many other articles of everyday use. In tact, one might say mt every- thing got from this mine can be used for some commercial purposeâ€"Chun- QTomatoes are delicious broiled in tno gas uven.Put them on the broiler puta small piece of butter on each piece and cook them until they are brown and tender.
