Whitman, one of Canada‘s prominent geologists, in a recent address to the Cobalt Board of Trade said that Ontario‘s three great mining districts were discoverâ€" ed largely through accident, or when looking for something else than what was found. Sudbury and Cobalt were accidentally discovered as rich in mineral wealth through the necessary operations of railway eonstruction, and*it was the accident of Porcupine being on the old Hudson Bay Indian ‘trail that led to the discovery here of the outerops on the great Hollinâ€" Kirkland Lake Deveioping Into Promising Gold Camp ! t was not until the winter of 1912 a road was cut through from the station at Swastika to Nirkland Lake,. and it was in December of that vyear that the Toughâ€"Oakes _ mines | made the first shipment of highâ€"grade |gold ore which went out of Kirklard, Lake. Thisâ€" was followed by other \ shipments, and by the fall of 1913 suflicient work had been done to jusâ€" tity more extensive plans. Mention is also made of the Sylâ€" vanite and Burnside propérties. The latter oncee looked so _ unfavorable that the men who grubstaked the loâ€" cator refused to put up the money for the first 30 days‘ work, but three more fortunate individuals, who each put up $10 for a oneâ€"twentyâ€"fourth interest, subsequently received $10,â€" 000 each when the property was sold. The Wrightâ€"Hargrave, adjoining the Svivanite on the west, is one of the most promising properties in the disâ€" trict, but bhas been tied up a long After a somewhat similar accident (if such it may be termed) the promiâ€" sing gold fields of Kirkland Lake were â€" discovered. _ Prospectors who went to Kirkland Lake in 1908 and 1909 went there in the hopes of disâ€" covering another Cobalt.
