"The flourishing cities, towns, and villages along the Main Line and Branches of the Railway speaks for the permanence and reliability of its unâ€" dertakings.

"When construction reached Cobalt the great silver deposits were discoverâ€" ed and this assured its financial success from the start. Early in January, 1905, operation of the line from North Bay to New Liskeard, commenced, although the contractors had not finished balâ€" lasting the track. "In 1908, a Branch Line from Engleâ€" hart to Charlton, a distance of eight miles, was completed, opening up the splendid farming country around Long Lake and making the forest products accessible. By this time the line had been completed to Cochrane, the junceâ€" tion of the Transcontinental Railway, 253 miles from North Bay. "Owing to the rapid development of the Porcupine Gold Camp, preliminary surveys were made in 1910 for a Branch Line into that district. The Trackâ€"layâ€" ing started early in 1911, and on July ist, 1911, the Branch was opened for service to South Porcupine, a distance of 26.7 miles. Construction was pushâ€" ed forward and in March, 1912, the Branch was completed through to Timâ€" mins, a distance of 33.1 miles, and reâ€" gular service in operation. "The Abitibi Power and Paper Co., having acquired the Abitibi Pulp Limit from the Ontario Government started in to develop the water power at Iroâ€" quois Falls and to erect a Pulp Mill of 150 tons capacity. A Branch Line was at the same time started from Porquis Junction to serve this industry,. The Branch was as far completed by Sepâ€" tember, 1913, as to permit of handling the construction material for the Abitiâ€" bi Power and the Paper Company. This "Farly in 1912 owing to the developâ€" ment which had taken place in the Elk Lake and Gowganda Districts, conâ€" struction on the Elk Lake Branch from Earlton Junction was commenced and on February 5th, 1923, a regular service between Earlton Junction and Elk Lake was inaugurated. mill has since been enlarged until toâ€" day it has the capacity of over 550 tons of newsprint paper per day. "For some years the construction of a spur line from Timmins to the Matâ€" tagami River, a distance of about 3 miles, for the handling of the large quantities of forest products, which come down the river, was under conâ€" sideration. This work was started in May, 1911, and the spur opened for traffic in August, 1919. ‘"‘The collection of information with respection to navigation and harbours on James Bay, and the resources of that territory had been in progress for a number of years, and in January, 1922, a contract was let for the first 70 miles north of Cochranse. In Novemâ€" ber, 1923, the first 43 miles to Island Falls Junction was placed in operation with a triâ€"weekly service, the balance of the 70 miles practically completed and further construction north is now under way. "The South Lorrain section, to the‘ east of Cobalt, developed its silver reâ€" sources to such an extent that in t.he‘ spring of 1924, construction of 2 Branch Line from Cobalt was started a distance of about 20 miles. Work on this Branch was pushed through and freight and passenger service establishâ€" ed November 9, 1924. "The Kirkland Lakeâ€"Larder Section, to the east of Swastika, assumed such importance that in the spring of 1924, construction of a Line under the Niâ€" pissing Central Railway Company‘s Charter, was started, and this line was completed to Larder Lake, distance of 22.5 miles and opened for operation November 9th, 1924. "Mining .developments in the Lake Fortune and Rouyn Districts, further east, were such that a further extenâ€" tion into these districtsâ€"an additional 37 milesâ€"was decided upon.
