It was a 17 Ib. pike caught fn the river near here. In those days there were many pike, though not so many this size in the river here. This is possibly the biggest pike caught in the Mattagami in this district. ‘The river hereabouts at that time abounded with fish, including sturgeon ~and trout. The fish have been comâ€" pletely done away with near here on account of the power company dams preventing the movement of the fish previous to spawning time. â€" The Mattagami near here would not have lost its fish, and may even yet recover some of its natural fish, if fish ladders are installed at the dams.

I'-\A trapper named Morin is credited with starting a rush in the ‘Shlling:on area, some dozen miles west of MaTthâ€" eson. It is the common report that Morin landed in Matheson one day reâ€" cently, displaying spectacular samples ! of gold ore, some of them assaving as high as $3,000.00 and $4,000.00 in gold to the ton. He recorded some claims, and others hearing tof the startling finds began a little rush to the new district usually referred to as the Shillington distriect. Shillington is a rural post office in Currie Township, and it is understood that the find made by Morin was a little distance from Shillington, possibly in a townâ€" ship adjoining Currie Tp. In any event the prospectors are paying parâ€" tieular attention to the group of six townships _ including Currie, Egan, Speraton, Bond, Taylor and Stodk Tps. iMorin is understocd to bave said that he made the discovery of the spectacular vein during the winter while out trapping, but did not stake until the snow was gone. Last week the rush to the new area got away to a good start, nluumbers zoing in from Matheson and also some others strikâ€" ing in from Night Hawk ‘Lake. The new field, if it upholds its present reputation is going to be an important link in the solid chain of gold connecâ€" tingy Lightning and Poreupine gold. areas, lying as it does nearly midway between the two. Already many claims have ‘been staked and prospecâ€" tors are going in every day. An oldâ€" timer from the Swastika area who was in town last week was inclined to be sceeptical regarding the Shillington find. ‘*I have been through the area,‘‘ he said, ‘‘and I think any spectacular find willBhe several miles away from Nhillington.
