Timmins is no mean town, let me tell you. It‘s as cosmopolitan as New York, but you learn mighty little about the mine market by visiting the mines. The mines are there, mind you, and mighty big mines they are, but the market is not there. You will find that down in Toronto or Pittsburg or Boston _ or New York in the brokers‘ office.
