Mr. Moberly "received an appoint I "rpent as assistant to William Murdoch ; who was preparing to proceed to Forti `William to make` the first survey! from Lake Superior westward for thei "vU.P.R. late in 1872. ' Ship-wrecked atStart Embarking at Collingwood, Mr. M.! got as far as the mouth of the Geor-f" `-tgian Bay when the unexpected hap-j `gpened. `The crew of the boat refus-- `ed to take -a chance across the lake} `mt. that season of the year. Anotheri foat had put in to .port for shelter at. `Tobermoray, so they arranged to` `transfer to it -when the; `storm had! "ssubsided. It was the Mary Ward, J rand soon they were started back for: `Collingwood. Off the latter port the? Mary Ward was wrecked. Three of: Mr. Moberly's party were lost and; `aws of the crew. The remaining` zmevrfbers of the party searched af "week for `the wreck victims in vain. [ II DUIIUUI ujan--vu v saw. v Politics, Brief'l;" '_Relatet-I. 7 ,, V . ` In 1876 he located and` built the!

Goes Silver -Mining in U.S. Taking a change of venture, Mr, Moberlyn put in the next two years in.Nevada silver mining. That was before Reno, Nev., became famous. or notorious,` as you like, as a mecca ` for would-be divorcees. A miner's luck is various. Severing with the `Mineral Hill Mines, Mr. M. return- ed to Canada. During part of '79` and 1880 he was engaged on a line from the mouth of Nipigon riyer to the north end of Long Lake, north of T Lake Superior, and from there to Missanabie., This was for the C.P.R. `government survey. It was original- ly intended for the, C.P.R., but wasi subsequently taken over by the C.N.| `R. It was found necessary to re-{ organize the. party after first start-l 'ing and take supplies to Jack Fish Bay and then pack everything over the rough, broken country to the south end of Long Lake, thence down` the lake, which took till January en route . He finished the line and took his party back to Port Arthur in April. This line was later built over by the C.N.R. - e z E They had expected `to make the] ; `voyage in three days; instead, it took | 21 days in intensely cold and stormy, weather .with ice making, rapidly. _ 'When'the wind rose strong they had , to go ashore and pull the boat up by _ block and tackle into the bush to ,;await favorable weather. They were :1 poorly equipped for rough going. The distance was 200 miles in an open boat and to term it rough going is ` putting it decidedly mild. I Drives First" Stake at Port Arthur I f , The good ship reached Fort Wil- iliam on the last" day of the year 1872.. jMemory of that trip has some com- fpensation. perhaps, because on Jan- luary 11. 1873, Mr. Moberly had the 'distinction of driving the first stake` ;for the C.P.R. at Prince Arthur's ; Landing. now Port Arthur. He then {surveyed the line to Savanne. over ;which the road was subsequently ibuilt without alteration. On the op- lening of navigation he returned to, Ottawa, spending most of the sum-! !mer working up notes. In the autumn `` fof 73 Mr. M. returned to'Fort Wil- Vliam and continued the line westward . from Savanne. returning again to the jCapito1 in thespring of '74. Pre- ivliminary lines -were being run and ,in the summer -of '74 he commenced `the location of the C.P.R. from Fort {William west; this was the first lo- .cation for the C.P.R. from Lake Su-' Pperior. The following winter wash`: ipassed at Ottawa preparing plans.V|1 `and the next summer he made an'1 Eexploration` of the country fromit -Gravenhurst to Lake Nipissing for ' gextension of the Muskoka Junction Railway which reached Gravenhurst - jin y_1875.

' He explored Thompson River and the country on the eastern side of the Shushwap Lake and the country lying between the Columbia river and the Big Bend for the gov- ernment before much of the possibil- ities of salmon shing on the Col- umbia was known. V His object there was to ascertain whether it was a gold producing country or suitable for settlement. It was during those adventures that he discovered and named` the Eagle Pass. He sub- sequentlytook a contract with two others to build a new Cariboo wagon trail. This was a fa ure. The year was 1867 and he left British Colum- biadisgusted and sought new fields of adventure in. the neighboring re- oublic, which took `him to California on construction `work on the Hum- boldt river. work was a part of _ I.l\IIlI Jauav CIIIII IV CDI1 \JGl.lUUU Hon.

A venture for coal cost many months and much money about Coal.Harbor without result.

At the `Frisco port it was_ learned the ship's firm and gone` I 1 I brok`e'_. But Walter plodded on to tVictoria. He had a letter of. intro- duction to Governor Douglas from Sir George Simpson of the Hudson's .l Bay company. The Governor set Walter at the task of exploring trails ` to assist the gold seekers who were .~ lat that time flocking in. To `carry out this task, Moberly set out in a ~ storm to cross the gulf on the steam- 1 er Otter. He ascended the Fraser l , and proceeded to the head_of Har- , lrison Lake. His orders were to re-Ii lnort on the possibility of improving { the Cariboo trail. From Port Doug-J1 la_s he tramped through three eet of] snow. `making. side explorations by'1 .the way.
