Commenting on this aritcle written in 1910, The Cochrane Post says :â€"â€" ‘‘Of course, in those days, as it is now, the T. N. 0. Commussion held out the hope that the railway would be extended ; but when such hope was deferred beyond reasonable measure, the parties interested in the findâ€"the first claim holdersâ€"finally gave up hope of being able to do anything wigh their claims. It was as evident then as it is now that, if the find would turn out commercially to the gcreat benefit of the whole province, unless transportation facilitiese were provided the finds would be useless. A year later, the first definite ray of coal, iron and salt. _ The Mattagami Coal Mining Company, comprised of North Bay business men, have eight coal claims and are very optimistic as to results. Foster Shields, of [Sudâ€" bury, representing a syndicate having coal and iron claims in the new disâ€" trict, left for the north last week to arrange for active mining operations. This syndicate claims to have stripped iron deposits showing an almost unâ€" limited tonnage of the metal. _ Oi prospects are very encouraging, as along. the banks of the Mattagami river has beéen found a dark greasy substance flowing into the river which floats on the surface and has every indication of being petroleum. There is a splendid water power on the Matâ€" tagami, with a fall 150 feet high, while there is an expanse of river just above of 1,200 feet. The fine samples of coal ibrought out have caused conâ€" siderable excitement among mining men, and it is confidently expected that large coal deposits will be unâ€" covered of great commercial value in the Mattagami district, besides iron and oil."‘ "‘Since the opening up of navigaâ€" tion, the reported coal fields along the Mattagami river,, northwest of Cochrane, have been visited by a numâ€" ber of exploring parties, and the reâ€" ports coming out are very encourâ€" aging. R. E. Burrows, who took a party in for a New Liskeard syndiâ€" cate, has just returned with excellent samples of icannel coal and staked ten claims adjoining the T. N. 0. Railâ€" way Commission claims. _ The memâ€" bers.of the syndicate are highly elated over the success of the expedition and the samples of coal, which indicates the soâ€"called lignite deposits, covers the real article so much soughkt after, R. Horschitz, of Pittsburg, Pa., has staked four claims for an American syndicate and brought out samples of cannel coal bearing evidence of petroâ€" leum. R. J. Flaherty is prospecting with a party in the Mattagami disâ€" trict for the United States Steel Comâ€" pany, and prospectors who have met Flaherty state that he is very much pleased with the showings, and claims to have discovered large deposits of Schumacher Electric It is no idle saying that there is nothing new under the sun. A daily newspaper the other day dug up the fact that bobbed hair was popular fully three hundred years ago. Many people have been thinking that we had at least two new things these daysâ€" bobbed hair, and coal along the Mattaâ€" gami. Coal along the Mattagami river, north of Cochrane is old, too. The Cochrane Post has found in the fyles of The Northland, the first paper published in Cochrane that the coal discoveries occurred first as early as 1910. nder date of June 3rd, 1910, The Northland said :â€" Number of Exploring Parties Went North of Cochrane to Coal Fields in 1910. .

Englehart, that a survey party would be sent out locating the road of the extension from Cochrane. â€" However, one year after another passed withâ€" out definite steps of construction beâ€" ing undertaken. First the Poreupine discoveries took up all interest in exâ€" pansion, after that other gold fields along the main line came along, and finally the disastrous year of 1914 came along and with the exigencies of war killed any such project as, exâ€" tension of railways into new fields, no matter how promising. The parâ€" ties who held the coal claims until that time, most of them having alâ€" ready dropped out, became totally discouraged; and so, finally, with the change in the then more or less transâ€" ient population here, the fact of deâ€" finite discoveries became forgotten, and finally only survived as rumours. One after another of the prospectors who have gone over the ground since then hinted at coal deposits, until some four years ago, after the extenâ€" sion of the T. N. 0. from Cochrane was at last taken up, a Montreal synâ€" dicate sent a party north to restake some of the old claims, only to have the party called back when it became evident that the extension would stop at the spruce tree at mileage 68. However, others, fired by the knowâ€" ledge by now more or less acquired, kept on, with the result of the present rediscovery which has set the mining world agog. More money is now beâ€" ing puf in, with undoubtedly good reâ€" sults, but the development ecan only reach a certain point unless transporâ€" Commenting on the above The Adâ€" vance would like to say this: that this newspaper is certain that the T. N. 0. will be very ready indeed to extend the line, provided it is shown that there is call and demand for such extension. â€" Premier Ferguson may be depended upon to assist and support the T. N. 0. Railway Comâ€" mission in any move that is made for the advantage of the North, because Premier Ferguson is very sincerely inâ€" tation facilities are provided ; and the question now is: will the Government encourage the coal mining north by immediately extending the T. N.O. from its present terminus at nowhere, or will the new discoveries again be sent into oblivion ?"‘ hope lit up the horizon in the declaraâ€" tion of the then chairman of the T. 50 Men wanted No previours experience necessary.

The police are working on the case. Pagwash Lake. These rods were left behind by the first diamond drill outâ€" fit to visit the Red Lake area. That was in 1914, and at that time Mr. J. W. Reed, of Timmins, was connected with the firm of Smith Durkee, who were the diamond drill contractors going into Red Lake at that time. The activity in mining matters in the Red Lake area in 1914 did not last long. â€" This; of course, was not due to any fault with <the territory but rather to war conditions and other cirâ€" cumstances. The discoveries in the Pagwash district in 1914 were made by an oldâ€"time prospector well known throughout the North, Tim Crawley, by name. He,ywas enthusiastic about his discovery of iron ore at the time,â€" but they said then that that was the way with all prospectorsâ€"they thought they had the world by the tail when it might only be a ‘‘eat.‘‘ After a little work on the Crawley claims, money apparently ran out and there was not any very extensive developâ€" ment carried out. Whether there is iron or not in paying quantities in the Pagwash Lake area still remains to be proven. _ The diamond drills were taken out again in 1914, accordâ€" ing to the oldâ€"timers, but the rods were left behind, probably because it was about as cheap to buy new rods as pay the cost of freighting by trail and rail and canoe route. Prospectors coming out from Red Lake report the discovery of a pile of steel drill rods on the east shore of In its last issue The Northern News comments on the little attertion usually paid to the recommendations made by coroner‘s juries.
