Will Resume Gold Niinj0u,

According to the statement OF
Editor Osborne, of the Fort Frances
Times who was in the city Sunday,
gold mining operations are to be
resumed in earnest in the Rainy
River valley this spring, the old
Foley mine being the first to attract
attention, it being the intention to
commence work in the vicinity of
Mine Centre at once.
The Foley Gold Mines Co., Ltd,
own LOO acres of land in the Rainy
valley, including the old "Foley
Mine" on Shoal lake. This property
was first located IN 1894 and was
purchased the following year by
Joseph c. Foley for $4,000. In 1896
half interest in the mine was sold
for $125,O00 and in 1898 the property
was purchased by British CON-
pany. When the security market
dropped out of sight during the
Boer war the company was forced
into liquidation and the property
was re-purchased by Mr.. Foley, who
died some years ago, since which
time much trouble has been exper.
fenced in securing valid title to the
property. This has now been &C.
complished and the present com
pany is organized on substantial
basis.
The property, including machin-
cry equipment, represents a total
cash outlay OF a quarter million
dollars, and the development of the
Foley mine has been of a nature to
assure the promoters that the veins
are true gold-bearing assures and
undoubtedly go to great depth, car
rying with them untold possibil-
tiles of returns.

Thornton, who presided at a recent
conference Of the foreman tailors Of
London, mems dress will soon under
go great change, and the present
styles will give away to more classic
garments" Knee breeches and fancy
waistcoats will be introduced, and the
superiority of these garments over to-
days long trousers and waistcoats
will insure their popularity. A Rus
sian nobleman who visited London
few weeks ago said that he cared lit
tie whether the style was introduced
or not; ne would adopt it. Two things
were necessary, he said, "shapely
calves and courage" He took with
him 48 waistcoats made of various
p:tterns of embroidered silk.

first section of Boston's modern sy1.

II years ago. This was followed by The

PENSION PLAN FOR INJURED EMpLoYFS
Steel Corporation Adopts Liability
Plan for Workers Relief Dating
from May lst. 1910.

The United States Steel Corpora.
ton has adopted plan for finan.
cially aiding men injured in it's
plants and tor pensioning the fami-
lies of employees killed in accidents
at work. The plan was ratified at
recent meeting of presidents of sub.
sidiary companies and will go into
effect May I. It is purely volun-
tary provision and is made by the
Steel corporation and it's subsid-
iaries without any contribution
from the men. Chairman E. 81.
Gary explains the plan as follows:
"Since December, 1909, officers of
the United States Steel corporation
and subsidiary companies have
been developing plan for relief of
men injured and families of men
killed in work accidents, Under
this plan relief will be paid for
temporary disablement, for per-
manent I'M uries and tor death. The
relief is greater for married men
than for single men and increases
according to the number of chill.
dren and length of service. During
temporary disa Element, single men
receive 50 per cent OF their wages
and married men so per cent with
an additional per cent for each
child under 16 and per cent for
each year of service above five
years.
Following the provisions of all
foreign laws and all legislation
suggested in this country, there is
a period of days before payment of
relief begins. For permanent in
juries lump sum payments are pro-
vided. These are based on the ex.
tent to which each injury inter
feres with employment and upon
the annual earnings of the men in
iured. In case men are killed in
work accidents, their widows and
children receive one and one half
years wages, with an additional 10
per cent for each child under 16
and 3 per cent for each year of SER
vice of the deceased above five
years.
"Experience perhaps will lead to
some modification of this plan, but
it will be in operation one year
from May l, 1910, and if it meets
with success and approval from the
men and the public it is hoped that
similar and possibly improved plans
may be adopted in succeeding
years.
"Also, there has been under con-
sideration plan for the payment
of pensions to disabled or superan-
uated employees, and it is expected
this will be put into practical et-
feet.
1T is our purpose by this plan to
treat employees fairly and generous
ly, even under the most enlightened
view of employers responsibility"

Use of CHEWING Gum.

The extent of the use OF chewing
gum among the people of the United
States is illustrated by the fact that
the importation of "chicle" in 1908,
chiefly for use in the manufacture of
chewing gum, amounted to more than
100000 pounds. This article, "chicle, "
is obtained in southern Mexico from
the trunks of the sapodilla plum tree.
and the importation of this gum dur.
ing the last decade has amounted tn
about 100000 pound. or over 1900.
