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 undeveloped. ;

“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 the work, done.. .

Following the clerks report the 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 ease, .

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 not.a, contract, with. - -the ..coerporation and Myr, Halliwell. sald that was a matter of interpretation. He could not see how he could possibly accept Mr. ‘Bishop's nomination in face of the wording of the Act, ; Mr. Kenney raised the question of the disposal of garbage and nightsoil, He thought that was a good opportun- ity to get the opinion of the residents. ‘The Chairman suggested that, a
