Father Paradis had dynamited the dam on the Frederickâ€" house river in order to lower the waâ€" ter so that he might have opportunity to examine the outcerop on his claims. HMe succeeded in lowering the water, even affecting the level of Night Hawk Lake some twenty milés away, but he did not find gold. At what is now the Night Hawk Peninsular Mine, the oldâ€"time prospector, John McLeod, discovered gold_ showings, finding a boulder that sparkled \\nh free trold ducer. Of the $35,700,000.00 in gold produced in Canada in 1926, the Porâ€" cupine produced over $23,000,000.00, or more than five million dollars worth more of gold in the year than the fourth of the world‘s goldâ€"producing countries (Russia). Gold at the rate of $2,000,000.00 a month is being proâ€" duced by the Porcupine mines at presâ€" ent. Many comments ha¢e been made reâ€" cently in regard to Canada‘s specâ€" tacular rise to fame as a goldâ€"mining country. At the present time Canaâ€" da holds third place among the world‘s gold producgrs, being only exâ€" ceeded by the Trarfsvaal and the Unitâ€" ed States. The United States is slowâ€" ly but steadily decreasing in its gold production, while Canada‘s production is as surely incxreasing. It will be only a few years until Canada stands second in the world in the matter of gold production, being excelled only by the farâ€"famed Transvaal. In noting Canada‘s place in the world as a gold producer, it should be remembered that this high place is only held through Ontario, and Onâ€" tario‘s high standing depends upon 5 The Story of the Golden Porcupme g C im 0 _ . uts Mess _ ts se _ M tm sA n is S ic Te . is Ti ic is Sn i. is Te i nAAA LNE ME K K LE S MR AL orcupin ; the wo ‘anada Now the Third Largest Gold Producer in the World and Porcupine Gives the Dominion That Place.

In regard to the early days of the ‘amp, before the railroad came here, a graphic deseription of the journey from Kelso to Poreupine was writteon a few years ago by Mrs. Lila Janueâ€" son, of South Pm'cupme Mrs. Jamieâ€" son wrote: ‘‘In January, 1910, Mr. Shillington, then our M.P.P., asked my broker, J. W. MacDougall, late of Haileybury, to loeommond Aa \tennnmphm for the Mining Recorder‘s office at Golden City It was then the opportunity presented itself for me to see Poreuâ€" pine in its pioneer days. *A daily exodus flowed north, and one bitter January day my brother put me on board the trainâ€"at Haileyâ€" bury in care of Marty Walshâ€"now in Mexico, I believe,â€"and Jim Hughes, now deadâ€"to make the trip to Porâ€" . The erowded train unloaded its human frieght at Kelsoâ€"the end of steelâ€"and the lineâ€"up in the early winter twilight at the hotel office at Kelso remmded one of a theatre rush in a large city. Accommodations were stmmed to the utmost but, like the street cars, there was always room for one more, particularly if that one were a woman. At that time not more than half a dozen women had There are many interesting sideâ€" lights on the early story of Poreupine, but space forbids repeating all of them. _ One, however, may be told here. In 1909 Sandy Melntyre was making bannocks, though he had run out of baking powder. But the lack of baking powder did not worry Mceâ€" Intyre. He used seidlitz powders, and the bannoeks had to be weighed down. Jack Easton happened along and Sandy shared the seidlitz powâ€" der bannocks with the genial Jack. In the early days the trp to Porâ€" cupine had to be made by eanove and over trails in summer, and by dog team in the winter. The journey in was made from Kelso, or MeDougall‘s Chutes (now Matheson)}. It was an arduous journey, but many made it after the rush of 1908 started. Some had made it before. According to Mr. Alex and others, some iman, now unknown, had worked on the No. 2 vein of the Hollinger as early as 1906. He had built atforge right beâ€" side what became the original disâ€" covery. â€" He used the forge for sharpâ€" ening his steel. Whoever he was, he 0\1(lentl\ became discouraged and did not go to the extent of recor edi ng. When Ben Hollinger and Alex Gilliess came along in 1‘)08 they were more sucâ€" cessful. They encountered Davidson who was staking the Vipond. _ He suggested that they stake ‘*near that little lake,""‘ and they followed the tip. ‘*The little lake"‘ has been filled up, Dickson (another whose elaims form part of the Hollinger); Jack Easton, and others.

The posiâ€" tion of school trustee is an important one from the public‘s standpoint, and it is hoped that some of the retiring trustees at least will reconsider their decision about not accepting farther terms. In regard to the municipal board, there is practically no discussion at present.
