There were, of course, a number of places that Mr. Romine may have stopped with no hops of any crowd of people gathering, for during the six weeks taken by his trip Mr. Remine said he made his way through to Mooseé Factory and return. Mr. Romine is quoted as commenting ’specially on the number of moose that he saw on the trip. He is said to have encountered _ at least seventyâ€"five moose, but perhaps this large number Considerable interest was roused last week by the passing over the Ferguson highway on his way home after being as far north as Moose Factory of R.

While making travel through the bush some what more difficult this should have little effect on prospecting interest as the nature of the country makes blind staking more or less compulsory. It is practically impossible to get ground within three miles of the original find in, Bannockburn, it is stated, the disâ€" trict having been staked solid for about that distance in ‘all directions. Bert Ashley, one of the discoverers, is said to have returned to the find yvith equipâ€" ment and men for surface work, and further details should be available withâ€" in the next month. Some little time will be required to secure even preliâ€" minary data and proximity of freezeâ€"up season will hold up communication for a few weeks, at least.

Mariq plans 'for using the rocky road along the north |shore of Lake Superior as part of the route of the present transâ€"Canada highway. One reason for this is that J. W. Curran, of The Sault Marie Star, i sponsored the trip of the daily newsâ€" ‘paper editors through Northern Onâ€" tario last year, and consequently there has been a more or less natural tendâ€" ency to take the genial Mr. Curran as :an expert on all things regarding the INorth The hospitable greetings given | everywhere to Mr. Curran and his party | by the towns of the North no doubt ‘added to the idea of the daily newsâ€" ;paper editors that Mr. Curran was a |favourite everywhere, whereas the fact was that while the Sault Ste. Marie gentleman is deservedly popular wherâ€" ‘ever known, he was not known in this particular section of the North and all friendly demonstrations were simply | North Land politeness. Mr/Curran has !been essentially a Sault Ste. Marie and | Algoma man. There is no fault to be ‘found with that; quite the contrary; ! but the fact should be noted and reâ€" ,membered in discussions such as that i about the transâ€"Canada highway. There is liable to be a decided change in the opinions of the Toronto and other southern city editors on the transâ€"Canâ€" ada highway route matter. The folâ€" lowing paragraph from an editorial article in The Cochrane Northland Post last week will no doubt help change Toronto opinion, or rather set it along right lines regarding the highway route :â€" Discussing work being done, Mr. Mcâ€" Cready is reported to have said that there is an almost entire absence of nickel in the rock formation, the proâ€" portion running less than one half of one per cent. The formation is diabase. and not conglomerate. The cobalt is disseminated, stated Mr. McCready. Operations will be continued. "An angle to the question which has never, apparently, occurred to the Toâ€" ronto press, has been brought to our attention. If the transâ€"Canada highâ€" way were to be built around Lake Suâ€" perior, phssing right through Sault Ste. Marie, motorists from the west would, in a great many cases, leave the highâ€" way at that point and cross over to the Unifted States, travelling around the southern side of Lake Huron and Lake Ontario to Erie, Buffalo and other American cities instead of visiting Toâ€" ronto or other Canadian cities. It would seem therefore that Toronto stands to lose if the Lake shore route is followed. We pass along this viewpoint for our city contemplsraries to reflect on. We might also add, that to obtain the fullest benefit from the American tourâ€" ist trafiic the transâ€"Canada highway should ncot be too close to the boundary, as there will always be the tendency on the part of the tourists to leave it and cross over into their own country again. We put this forward not because we have not sufficient confidence in the tourist attractions of Canada but beâ€" cause the country along the border is the same on both sides, and the averâ€" THIS OUGHT TO IMPRESS TORONTO AND OTHER CITIES discovery of gold in the township of Hebecourt.

In 22 days of actual fishing operations, not one fish of commercial value was landed by an expedition which recently carried out an investigaâ€" tion. This may affect traffic to a cerâ€" tain extent over the new Hudson‘s Bay Railway, but it must be remembered that that line has been built for the primary purpose of furnishing another outlet for grain and that it also taps a region that is remarkably rich in minâ€" erals and waterâ€"powers.

The route from Quebec city to Winnipeg is calculated to serve the best interests of the country as a whole present and future; yet it would afford rvery reasonable consideration from visiting tourists from south of the borâ€" der, and would be liberally patronized by them. A. G. Carson, superintendent of the District of Cochrane Children‘s Aid Aid, was a visitor to Cochrane this week on business. Perhaps the matter should not be left in doubt any longer: we should send to the United States a commission of enquiry to find out just where they would like Canada‘s transcontinental motor highway built, and defer to their wishes.

(From The Northern Tribune) Advocates of the Lake Superior route for the transâ€"Canada highway descendâ€" ed in force upon Toronto last Saturday and laid their case before three cabinet ministers. One of the most astonishâ€" ing statements of all those made by the campaigners emanated from the editor !of the Port Arthur Newsâ€"Chronicle. He said: "Because there is a possibility of building a road that will be used by one hundred tourists from the south to ene crossâ€"country Canadian motorist, it is obvious that it should be built where it is most likely to attract the desired trade." Some of his other arguments may be passed over in orâ€" der to refer to this one. It is wellâ€"nigh incredible that a Canadian editor should have such a conception as the above about a transâ€"Canada highway â€"that only one per cent. of those who use it in motors will be Canadians; and he actually argues from that point of view (the pmeponderance of Americans using it) that therefore the road should be built where the proportion of Canâ€" adians will be the lowest and that of the Americans the highest! He thinks that the payment of gasoline tax, etc., by the tourists would soon pay for the roadâ€"with the scenery thrown in, of courseâ€"and that seems to be the ruling consideration.
