ON TARIO “Baal-t we go to n101row ” says Preston in taking up the story again, “and after seeing it we walked on to- wards those txi'o ‘l'akes which were not more than half a mile away,e each of us travelling near one anothen. Sud- denllay Preston noticed a nice-size vein down in a 10w, dirt} spot. He yelled to 'Wilson to come and see. Down Preston runs and off comes his coat and he starts to refill the moss oTT the neck. .He rolled and rolled to the ends. ' It was 21 feet across. Samples were taken. Then no more was done or said. ’ Then, to the lakes and back to the camps on 'Porcu-pine Lake to prospect south of there. Then the other two brothers in the party return, and a story comes that silver was discovered- near Massey Station. Mr. \Vilsou leaves for Massey. Whiile he is gone one of our panty quits his job and a telegram is sent. Wilson, who, when he reurns fetchesbaek a new man named Gilbert Rhau’llt. and a darn good man 'he was too. The silver story did not amount to anything. Well, we staked (ilaims. as did Geo. Bannenman. There was quite a lot of blasting and I believe if there ‘had‘ been other pros- pectors around Porcupine they would have heard our Wasting and come around to see what it was about. NO! there was not a soul came.” Later, on the two parties left Pres~ ton alone to watdh camp, while they went out for supplies. Preston was alone fon twelve days and while there he Wrote a piece of poetry. Some time after the return of the party Preston happened to be out to About a week after that, Harry Preston .put up a proposition to his :boss. It was that he should take the party and proceed to two small lakes southwest “of camp and then go to that othen batch of llakes west, ‘Presa ton stating that there was gold on Ab‘itihi Lake and gold on Night Hawk Lake, and a little go‘nd showing on the Hunter claims staked a year or two ago. Preston said, “ I‘f gold is on all] these other lakes, Why not go and see these other Hittle lakes in the tlriek woods.’ ’ No one seemed to take much interest in Pneston’s talk, so he talk- ed three or four days, and at mast one of his :partners told- 'him- :he would go Cl‘aZy tallik'i'ng. This made Presto-n mad, and that evening he goes over to see Bannerman, and told Geo. he would quit the Wilson party the next morning if he were not allowed .to go to a certain place. So Geo. 'to‘ld Pres- ton if he quit to come night over and wonk' for him. Next morning Preston told Wilson "he was going crazy about those lakes and asked if he could go alone to see them. \V'iilson said, “VVo’ll go to- morrow.’ ’ 'That day two of the party were sent out to Driftwood to get something so when ‘ ‘tomorrow ’ ’ ._ came Wilson, Burns and Preston started in the direction of the two lakes- About half way there Wilson went north, and Pneston was tolld to go see his lakes. Preston accordingly left, the understanding being that he was to meet the other two at the snot of parting around 4 11.111. Preston did not go very fun till. 'he (lISCO\ 01 ed' a big lot of iron formation. He took samples, proceeded on west. and found a lot more of quartz. He was satisfied there was something around that pilace, so meeting \Vilson and Burns where they had separated, llC dumped out the samples and showed them. \\ 11son exclaimed, “By gosh, they do look good. Much of it?” “Ye e’s, ’1Preston said, “111111 ‘kinds of it!” “We’ll go back to-morrow,” says \Vils‘son. Arriving at Porcupine Lake we pitched camp on the south shore on a point. Next day the Indians went ‘back to Night Hawk. In about two weeks Preston noticed a canoe coming into the Lake and he told: his partners. “This canoe landed directly opposite us,” says Preston, in telilxi'ng the story, “an-d who was it, but ‘Geo. 'Ban-nerman and old Tom Geddes. We made a bargain with each other. Geo. and Tom were to prospect all the nonth and east of the Lake, and: \Vil» son was to keep the south and west.” From Wild Man of Whirlpool to Pioneer of the Porcupine , Continued from :previous page a tent. After it was all there, Wifl- son 'hired two brothers named Camp- bell and a gentlheman named Geo. Burns, making five of 'us together. At the first signs of the ice breaking up the party went to Nellie Lake with the canoes and down Sid-m Creek to the river, thence across the Lake to the tents where the supplies were. A few days after they were met by Tom Fox and some Indians from Night Hawk who, with their canoes, 'helped us paddle and fetch our load to Porcupine in one trip. It certain- .by was a mighty hard trip from the fonks of the Porcupine River to the Lake but the rest was easy. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Preston preferred to tell Willson. because that big ‘31-ft., ve'i-n had been in rPreston’s mind all the time. So he toild his boss and then said, “Let’s hustle over and see all those other lakes.” But Willson said no; the Dome extension was 'good enough. but Preston wanted to go further. Continuing his story Preston says: “Well, everything good was staked; bye and 'hye in come the prospectors who mostly all] came from 'Haileyb'ury upon hearing of ‘Geo. Bannerm‘an hav- ing the gold. The first were Preston, of Haileb-ury, Middleton and Mill'ler, (with Whom Preston had been hunt- ing moose two years before), and then Alex Gilfllies and *Dixon'(two men from Niagara, near Preston’s home). They gave Harry a drink of good stuff out of a bottle and stayed overnight with him- at the ‘Dome, and these finst ones who saw the [Dome were advised by Preston to hike over to those lakes that ‘he had wanted to investigate. They took his advice and: they made no mistake. Then the prospectors came thicker and faster. ' To everyone he gave the advice to go west, southwest and northwest of the Dome. In concluding his letter Preston sayszâ€"WOne day during a rainstorm Preston found a lot of quartz south in the Reserve. He told the boss and next day a partner was sent to see it He did not like it. Preston did like it. That night he met friends and told them to stake it and he would go and claim it. They Said to wait till to-morrow. Preston said, “No! do it now!” Next morning he fetched them, but, alas, upon arriving at the Spot, there was a No. 1 new post and over 'in the woods were two men stak- ing these eiiaims. They are today considered 'real good. However, it was good Old Geo. Banncrman and Cochrane and Matheson, and on the train he met Geo. Bannermau, who was going to Haflleybury with dandy samples of gold. Bann‘ennan said, “Harry, you ’re the man I am look- ing for. I was at youn camps and I couldn’t find you. Now is your chance to quit and come over and stake by me, or you can tell Wiflsou we have gold.” Tom Ge'ddes who Started the 'Pocu- pine Bush.
