Mr. Feeley declared himself not at liberty to make any disclosures of his findings at this time, other than that he had made a brief prelimin- ary examination of the claims, and was of the opinion that they were worthy of further investigation. Mr. Feeley, who was accompan- ied by Tom Stroebe as helper, and Capt, Smith, also cruised to several gold _prospects in the vicinity of Lemesurier Island. Mr. Feeley de- clared that he would most likely re- turn in the spring for further ex- amination of not only the Mountain Leather prospect, but also of gold claims. Mr. McNamara is to make a com- plete examination of the Lemesurier mineral next spring, bringing with him a drill especially constructed for the purpose. 4 —————— MISTLETOE IN DRUID RITES The use of mistle toe is one of the most ancient pagan customns— of the English origin.

They have been banned from entering saloons for refreshment — even when off duty. 2 If they are detected in the least’ under the influence of drink they will also be regarded as having committed a breach of discipline. The new regulation to this effect has been drawn up by the Scottish office. Circulars have been sent to Glasgow police force, and similar ones are being sent out by chief constables in other parts of Scot- land. Resentment has been expressed by the rank and file. They main- tain that when they are off duty they are entitled to the same rights and liberties as other citizens. . Give “Holeproof” Hostery. ad
