Serving a wonderful section of Onâ€" tarioâ€"generally acknowledged to be the richest in potential mineral, agâ€" ricultural, forest and waterâ€"power wealth in the Dominionâ€"the railway has been instrumental in opening up and developing the great riches of the several mineral belts of Cohalt, South Lorrain, Poreupine and Kirkâ€" land Lake, et al., and will soon prove an important factor in the upbailding and consequennt expansion of the fields of Rouyn, Quebec.

The flourishing cities, towns and villages along the main line and branch lines of the railway speak for the permanence and 1‘e11ab111ty of its undertakings. _ The development of precious metal areas has been phenoâ€" menal in magnitude, and the present and future passibilities are to be thought of in terms of hundreds of millions of dollars of new wealth for the pr ospentv and expansion of the nation‘s business. With gold discoveries recorded in one hundred and ten (110) townships along the route of the T. N. 0. Railway, the mining industry appears to be assured of an unlimited field those known and worked in the minâ€" eral belts of Poreupine and Kirkland Lake, et al. However, sufficient knowledge is available to make it reaâ€" sonably certain that, if geological work and prospecting are mtellwont- ly and persistently followed, resuits broadly similar to those already obâ€" tained will be met with. The extension": of. the F.; 0. main line to James Bay now actively under construction to approximately 100 mills north of Cochrane, will eventually open up this vast region to the prospector, et al., and make eventually open up this vast region to the prospector, et al., and make available the known china clay deâ€" posits, gypsum, etce., and in time deâ€" velop the vast pulpwood areas and accompanying water powers for the upbuilding and progress of Northern Ontario and the Province generally. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO @OomeE is there precious Canadian interest in Northern QOnâ€" tario‘s mining development has inâ€" creased immeasurably in the last two or three years. Several of the Canâ€" adian chartered banks are now feaâ€" turing Northern mining development in their newspaper advertising. Proâ€" minent Canadian industrial exeecutives now sit on the boards and oceupy presidential chairs of a number of our mining companies. Gold camps during 1926, Poreupine, $8,510,268.00; total dividends, $55,â€" 665,566.16; Kirkland Lake, $2,368,â€" 464.40; total dividends, $5,830,839.40. Totals during 1926, $12,643,744.90 ; total dividends, $163,136,744.91. The probabilities are that dividends payable during 1927 will approxiâ€" mate $12,000,000. To illustrate the vast importance of Northern Ontario‘s mining interâ€" ests it may be noted that the Sudbury district in 1926 produced nickel, copâ€" per and platinum to the value of apâ€" proximately $20,000,000, with a total production of $317,000,000 since disâ€" covery, and paid $91,356,261 in diviâ€" dends during that period. The great importance of Ontario‘s mining undertakingsâ€"more particuâ€" larly those of silver and goldâ€"is now fully realized by Great Britain and the United States, whose eapital is seeking investment in Northern Onâ€" tario to an everâ€"increasing degree. This is more reaaily understood when it is realized that within a comâ€" paratively few years the dividends paid by the preciousâ€"metals interests in the territory served by the Temisâ€" kaming Northern Ontario Railway are shown as follows : Silver camps during 1926, $1,765,â€" 012.50; total dividends, $101,640,339,â€" 35. Investment banking houses of most conservative policies now _ include mining securities in recommendation to clients, and frequently discuss them in bulletins. % In the United States also greater interest has awakened, and it is estiâ€" mated that from 25 to 35 per cent. of the capital invested in Northern Ontario is American money. In the production of gold, Ontario now ranks third in magnitude among the nations of the world. One of its mines, the Hollinger, ranks with the greatest mines of South Africa, both in amount of gold produced and tonâ€" nage treated. The total production of Hollinger bullion to the end of 1926 amounted to $114,173,038. The > Government â€" ‘of~ Ontario, through the deep interest displayed by the Premier and Minister of \Imes, is lending its influence and energies to making known these undisputed facts ]e("ll‘dlll(" the rich mineral heriâ€" industry has meant tOo the rest the Province is dim('ult to estimate At least the sum of $60,000,000 a nually is spent in vqulpment, co Very few mining districts have had the record of so many new discoveries reported as has Rou)n within the past vear. t The new discoveries extend through several townships, and on many proâ€" perties the work accomplished has now reached the point where big deâ€" velopments can be anticipated within a short time. Expectations for the future growth of the district are generally exoressed by those who are in close touch with conditions, and the advent of the T. N.O. Railway has played a conâ€" spicuous part in this expressed optimâ€" ism. Rouyn is now as readily accessible as Poreupine or Kirkland Lake, and the journey that resently took the better part of two days from Southâ€" ern Ontario can now be accomplishked within 24 hours by a upâ€"toâ€"date service that connects with all main line trains â€"north or southâ€"at Swastika Juneâ€" tion, besides the service that takes eare of the local requirements in both t importance mining interâ€" t the Sudbury so greate it is esti per cent Northert least o1 Of â€" great importanceâ€"from the viewpoint of industrial development and railway trafficâ€"awre the great areas of timber and pulpwood.

In regard to the agricultural pos- sibilities of Northern Ontario, the great ‘‘clay belt‘‘ affords one of the greatest expanses of fertile territory in the Dominion. It extends westerâ€" ly between the Province of Ontario and Quebec for approximately three hundred and fifty miles (350) and contains millions of acres for presâ€" ent and future development. The soil is chiefly a rich clay or clay loam throughout, and sand and gravel deposits are of rare occurâ€" rence, the rock outcrop being generâ€" ally confined to the banks of lakes, rivers, and minor waterways. Mixed farming, dairying, ete., are in full evidence along the line of the T. N. 0.

Power in Northern Ontario, due to lack of coal and cost of transportaâ€" tion from the nearest producing areas, would ‘be only obtainable at practicalâ€" ly prohibitive prices, were it not for the fact that modern engineering has solved the problem of transmitting power long distances electrically at a cost that is relatively cheap.
