Rocher deBoule
Will Operate
During Season

The Rocher de Boule mine is about
‘to be reopened. W. S. Harris arrived
home last Saturday night from Van-
couver where ‘he- spent several weeks
during which time he tvas successful
in organizing a new company to be
Known as the Hazelton Copper Mines
Ltd, swith a capltnl of one million
shares of a par value. of $1.60, The
company has been granted incorpora-
tion and My. Harris states that Van-
cotver men have taken 60,000 shares,
thus’ proviting enough money to: be-
xin operations and continue operating
until ove can be taken out and shipped.

The company’ has placed ‘800,000
_shares of stock in the treasury, 200,-
000 shares go for promotion and there
dure available now some 650,000 shares,
For the present Jt is not the intention
to go to the public for money, other
thon to dispose of 100,000 shares, half
of which have ‘already been taken up.

Locally the Rocher de Boule mine
is 50 well known that any detailed
discription is unnecessary, A great
deal of ore has been taken out and at
a profit, There igs still a great deal
of ore in the mine already developed
and there is reason to believe that a
lot of ore can yet be developed, not
only in the old veins but on veins yet

“The retiring commissioners called
a town’s meeting to render an account
of their stewardship, and this was
held in the Legion Hall on. Wednes-
day night there being a good atten-
dance, -

Myr. J: K. Gordon occupied the chair
and intimated that the meeting had
heen called for the purpose of letting
a little light on what had been done
during the - past two years. Many
strange stories were going the rounds
and. it was well that the ratepayers
should know how matters stood. He
asked the clek to give the report on

Chairmnn asked for questions on the
report but none were forthcoming.

Mr. Cook asked on what grounds Mr
Bishop’s nomination had been disqual-
ified.

The Chairman said that was a mat:
ter for the terurning officcer' and Mr.
H. -Halliwetl(returning officer) stat-
ed that the disqyalification was due
to the fact that Mr, Bishop had a con-
tract with the Corporation. He quot-
ed the clause in the Act governing the

Mr. Kirkaldy said he wanted to
nake it,clear that when he nominated
Mr. Bishop he believed Mr, Bishop
was fully qualified to be o commis-
sioner. He expressed the opinion that
too little notice was taken of Dublic
affairs,

Mr. Bishop contended that he had

matter of interpretation. He could
not see how he could possibly accept
