 to Work All Winter

SATISFACTION EXPRESSED BY
 NOAH TIMMINS

Canadians Won't Impose Duties on Personal Ef- '
 fleets from Juneau
NEW ORDER EFFECTIVE
 UNTIL OCTOBER Is
Action Is Taken on Com. plaint of Noah Tmmins,
 Mining Man

VICTORIA, B.

A. Mckenzie. Cana dian Minister of Mines. The privi- lege extends not only to citizens of the United States but to all other countries, and will remain in effect until October IS, when the mining season in the Taku and Tulsequah r gions virtually comes to their seasonal end.
 The action of the Minister of Mines was taken in consequence of complaint lodged by Noah Tim mins, president of the Hollinger Gold Mines, Limited, of Canaxa, who is Canadian citizen. He re- gently left Juneau in an American airplane to go to the Taku and Tulsequah districts and inasmuch as there were no Canadian eus- tome officials in those districts he could not land at his destination without viol ting the Canadian Customs regulations.

was luckier because he had wife and
children waiting to welcome him
Shortly afterward Magyar fell in love
with Georgia Santeln, former wife OF

Then the threatened duel, which fol-

postponed until after the honeymoon.
If Magyar doesn't 60 back, it looks as

also like to see Vancouver. British Co
