Further to the east six different parties from Hudson and Red Lake are now enâ€" saged in staking in the vicinity. A Goverrment geological map shows keewatin formation both east and west of the river, and the area is regarded as a likely prospecting ground. A mining engineer who inâ€" spected the find toâ€"day gave an optiâ€" mistic report, and other prospectors are now en route to the scene of the discovery to stake adjacent territory. Isaac Palmer, a young man of 18 years of age, died on the train near Cochrane on Thursday last.

He passed away on the train before it reached Cochrane. Death was due to heart trouble. YOUNG SECTION MAN DIES _ ON TRAIN NEAR COCHRANTE ‘‘The land for miles around the claim on which the work is being done hag already been taken up as coal lands. From the fossils in the clay experts have definitely placed the deposits to be of lower creataceâ€" ous age, and therefore of the same age as the better coals from Albertasâ€"and the foothills of the Rockies. The area is quite extensive. It extendsâ€" so far as lignite outcroppings may indicateâ€"from the Missanabhi to the Abitibt River for a distance of some 50 miles in a northeast direction. As the strata dips toward James Bay, the distance to which the coal may extend in this direction is unknown.‘" GOLD RUSH NOW TO SNAKE FALLS ON CHUKUNI RIVER. ‘*At least,""‘ he says in a report of his investigation, ‘‘this dream seems to be fulfilled, not at Sudbury, but on the James Bay slope, about 50 miles north of the Pranscontinental Line of the C.N.R. For a number of years past outcroppings of lignites in the banks of the Metagami and Missinahi Rivers have been known. These lisâ€" nites are somewhate gimilar to the ligâ€" nites near the surface in Alberta and Saskatchewan. With the harnessing of the Smoky Falls, on the Metagami River, some enterprising northern men started boring down to see if better grade coals did not exist beâ€" low. The past spring disclosed two seams, and the lower, at 110 feet, inâ€" dicates a good grade of soft coal with a width of seam to make it well withâ€" in profitable mining. This seam is now ibeing opened up by a suitable shaft.

The despatch, which will come as a suhprise to many, reads as follows:â€" ‘‘no white man‘s foot ever treading the district.""‘ They are not likely to come hack from any place where some white man has not already ventured.

At that stage they will take to canoe and wend their way up the Abitibi lNiver, exploring unknown parts of the area between Island Falls and James Bay. When they return, they hope to bring with them some two hundred species of wild plants, along with numerous photographs of animal life.
