It is reasonable to ask why it is that headaches, constipation, and rheumaâ€" tism all yield so completely to Krusâ€" chen? What is the secret of Krusâ€" chen‘s effectiveness against these difâ€" ferent complaints? The secret is an open one. It is revealed in the analyâ€" sis on the bottleâ€"for physicians and everyone clse to see. Six vital, mineral salts. That is the secret. Each Oof these six salts has an action of its own.

Gold is where you find it. This oft repeated statement is doubtless intendâ€" ed to convey the idea that gold occurs in a great variety of places and that in its discovery chance plays a large part. Admitting this to be the case, it should be added that a lot of careful searchâ€" ing preceded the discovery and develâ€" cpment of any of the notable gold deâ€" posits in Ontario. Since experience in gold mining in Ontario is very limited, in a true sense, it seems desirable that some of the Gold mining is relatively new exâ€" perience for the people of this province. We had no big gold mine until the Hollinger and Dome were opened up just two decades‘ago. Before that time it was not known that there were any notable gold deposits anywhere in Onâ€" tario or the neighbouring provinces. An earlier generation of gold miners had met with a little success in the Lake of the Woods area; but had not found anything comparable with the deposits now being worked. How North‘s Best Gold Deposits Were Discovered. Gold has been discovered in hunâ€" adreds of places in Ontario and there are doubtless many well hidden deâ€" posits of mineable size. A few of these have been found and developed and are contributing many millions of new wealth annually. The successful operâ€" ation of a few gold mines has led to a more general interest in the search for gold and the recent recognition of the fact that dollars have been for some time too highly rated in relation to gold has intensified the search. It is to be expected that more of Ontario‘s great gold deposits will now be found. Phone 100 Cornes Third and Pine Sts. 1P P EC PE TE CR = When the news broke that the Timâ€" mins Syndicate had optioned for a large sum an important gold discovery in the recently surveyed township of Tisdale west of Porcupine lake, it was noted that this place was almost due north of Sudbury and west of Nightâ€" hawk lake. It seems not to have ocâ€" curred to anyone to mention that this place was very definitely on the man many years earlier and that the posiâ€" tion of Tisdale township was itself one of the reasons that the Hollinger and Dome were found. It was because Porâ€" cupine lake is due north of Sudbury that this area was first thoroughly exâ€" plored, for Nivens‘ meridian line run north in 18968 reached at Porcupine lake the edge of the clay belt and the 120 mile post, from which a base line was then run west to Missinabie. Durâ€" ing the next few years Porcupine lake, Nighthawk lake and the Big Bend on the Mattagami received unusual attenâ€" tion and the Porcupine lake‘s canoe route from the Mattagami to Nightâ€" hawk was many times travelled by obâ€" servant explorers. Nighthawk was a point of start and finish for many exâ€" ploring parties and was definitely on the map ten years before the Hollinger and Dome were found. Niven‘s meriâ€" dian was the Algomaâ€"Nipissing boundâ€" ary, and he returned in 1898 to continue it from Porcupine down to Moose River. A few years later the cutting up of the country into townships was started. The first township west along the base line was called Whitney and the next1 was Tisdale. Again the Porcupine porâ€" tages were travelled by surveyors. In 1896 E. M. Burwash and in 1898 W. A. Parks were geologists attached to Niven‘s parties and they repor todl quartz veins and evidences of gold. Inl 1904, after Tisdale and Whitney were surveyed Geo. Kay, geologist, and Tenâ€" nyson Jarvis, agriculturalist, made a survey of the area and described in some detail the rocks and animal and plant life along the Porcupine route. Kay reported the remarkable schist zone at Jarvis lake in Tisdale townâ€" ship, that is now known as the Hollinâ€" gerâ€"MciIintyre ore zone at Pearl lake. Jarvis examined the soil and trees and the ‘animals and insects and told all abcut the habits of mosquitoes, black flies and other pests. The miners did not know Jarvis so they renamed his lake after the lady who ran the boardâ€" ing house there. Kay described the chloritic and sericitic schists at Jarvis lake and the porphyry east of it and reported quartz veins with traces of gold; but he did not find anything that could be called ore. Like many other: before him he saw much pyritic rock and quartz, but no gold and his samples showed only traces of gold. The Cobalt and Larder Discoveries Tisdale townsh‘p was being surveyed and explored in the same year that events that led to the discovery of our few great gold deposits should be reâ€" called for the bensfit of those who search for others Most of the pionâ€" eers who played a part in the discovery are still active, but few have written of their experienc#, and it is difficult to retrace the steps of many of the star a@ctors in the gold drama of Ontario. There are, however, records sufficient to show that a great variety of events were factors in the discovery and that persistent and long sustained search preceded any success. Discovery of Hollinger, Mclntyre and Dome. The Hothnger-McIntyre and the Dome ore zones are the outstanding ones of the Porcupine area. Their disâ€" covery in 1909 signalled a new industry for Ontario and the story of the deâ€" velopment is pretty well known. We are here concerned only with events leading to the discovery. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, Harry Hunter of Toronto was one of the first men of this city to show any great interest in searching for gold along the Porcupine trail. It was J. J. Dwyer, prospecting for Hunter, who made the fisst promising go‘!ld discovery at Porcupine lake and started sinking pits on the vein. This showing was visited by many others and was a big factor in stimulating search in Whitâ€" ney and Tisdale townships. John Wilâ€" son, George Bannerman, Bill Davidson and Joe Vipond were working in the area early in 1909; Wilson working for some time south of Forcupine lake and Bannerman northwest. Davidson and Virond were the first to make disâ€" coveries in the Hollinger schist belt, staking claims since operated by Viâ€" pond Consolidated Mines. Davidson had previously staked claims adjoining Bannerman‘s in north Tisdale. Still the Hollinger and Dome had not been found. The summer was well advancâ€" ed when J¢ohn Wilson‘s party finally Staking at Nighthawk Gold hunters were active at Nightâ€" hawk lake in 1906. Discoveries on Gold Island near the north shore attracted many and numerous claims were stakâ€" ed. The first work did not give great encouragement and many of the stakâ€" ers did not return to thoroughly prosâ€" pect their claims. Some came back later and continued their search more successfully farther west. railroad builders were working at Long lake south of Haileybury. The surveyâ€" ors and geologists farther north and the men who accompanied them did not find gold. They were close to the gold deposits but the gold was well hidâ€" den. The railway workers were more fortunate for they found native silver | and ores of cobalt and nickel and startâ€" ed the silver industry at Cobalt in 1903. The reports of rich silver discoveries brought the first rush of prospectors to Cobalt and from there many worked their way to other parts of Temiskamâ€" ing. Discoveries of gold were reported in 1906 from Larder, Abitibi and Nightâ€" hawk lakes. The Larder lake discoverâ€" ies were followed by the first gold rush in Temiskaming and brought gold huntâ€" ers in hundreds to the country opened by the Ontario Government railway. These early discoveries did not show up very well when develow»d; Ftib they had created the interest in the search for gold in Ontario that brought good results a few years later at Porâ€" cupine and Kirkland Lake. The Larder Rush ? While Porcupine lake, Nighthawk and Big Bend of the Mattagami received a lot of attention in the late nineties beâ€" cause they happened to be nearly north of Sudbury on the Algomaâ€"Nipissing boundary and also at the south edge of the great clay belt, Larder Lake was little known until the silver hunters from Cobalt bezan to follow the conâ€" glomerate and diabase outcrops northâ€" easterly into Quebec. One of the first . governmental expeditions in the Larder country was the geological survey party headed by Dr. W. A. Parks, who after examining the silver discoveries at Cobalt worked ghis way through the Wendigo, Larder, Cheminis country in 1904. One of the members of Dr. Parks‘ party, H. L. Kerr, two years latâ€" er grubstaked a trio of gold hunters who found gold and staked claims on the northeast arm of Larder lake in the summer of 1906. Larder caught the popular fancy and during the followâ€" ing winter hundreds of parties scoured the country between the new railway and the Quebec boundary. This influx of gold seekers did not immediately result in notable discoveries, but it was a big factor in many discoveries. Gold was found in many places in Temisâ€" kaming during the years following the Larder rush. "After being in the area for several months, during which time I staked several claims on which I found gold. I had come to the conclusion that the immediate vicinity of the lake was the most promising section. Porphyry exâ€" posures being particularly numerous at the east end of the lake Y worked eas\iâ€" ward and when the Toughâ€"~Oakes claims were open I staked there. Developâ€" ment at the Toughâ€"Oakes ovened up very rich oreâ€"â€"a vein about eight inches wide being particularly high grade. We expected to make a tidy fortune cut cof this property, but we got very much less than we expected. Financâ€" ing difficulties followed by disappointâ€" ing developments at the mine, swept away our hopes of winning a {4ortune from that property. "One of the best discoveries of that year was made by Will Wright, He staked what is now known as the Wrightâ€"Hargreaves. His discovery was made north of the belt along which most of us were workingâ€"across a swamp which looked uninviting to the prospectors. Later the Wright disâ€" covery was sampled many times and the various reports on it differed wideâ€" ly. There was high grade at the surâ€" face, but it was spotty and a few shots would make a great difference in its apparent value. ‘"When I arrived atâ€" Swastika I made many enquiries about the country. I was particularly interested in the reâ€" ports that there was a porphyry belt at Kirkland Lake. I had been recently in a country where rich orebodies occur in porphyry and the prospectors‘ desâ€" criptions of the rocsks made a favourâ€" able impression upon me. "I put in a very busy year in 1911, prespecting many hundreds of acres in the area from the railway eastward to Gull Lake. I panned everywhere. At one time I had four campsâ€"each mereâ€" ly a waterproof shelter under which I could spend the night. "The early discoveries had not made a very favourable impression on those who visited the Kirkland Lake area. Although only an hour distant from the prosperous silver mining area at Cobalt, it did not attract the companies operatâ€" ing there. The men who were prosâ€" pecting during 1911 received little enâ€" couragement from the occasional visiâ€" tors. "In the vicinity of Swastika and eastâ€" ward to Kirkland Lake many claims had been staked some years previousâ€" ly. There was, however, little work being done on most of the claims. Many stakings reverted to the province because of nonâ€"performance of work or nonâ€"payment of the nominal dues. The Swastika mine was the chief operâ€" ator at this time. Later in the sumâ€" mer a very promising discovery was made at the Lucky Cross mine. "While developments were proceeding at the Toughâ€"Oakes I continued prosâ€" pecting. I found a promising deposit uear tlit south shore of the lake ani "I had spent many years in prospectâ€" ing in widely scattered mining counâ€" tries, from Yukon and Alaska in the north to New Zealand and the Philiâ€" pines in the Scouthern Oceans. While in the Western United States I had heard of Cobalt‘s silver mines and later of the gold discoveries at Porcupine. In June, 1911, I came to Ontario. At Toronto I heard much of the metal mines of the North. I made a visit to the Parliament Buildings and procurâ€" ed a miner‘s license and reports on the mining districts. I chanced to call at the office of the Swastika Mining Comâ€" pany and was shown pieces of ore from the company‘s property. This interâ€" ested me and after taking a look at tne silver mines at Cobalt, I went on to Swastika station. Some time after the Lawe Shore beâ€" came producer I asked Harry Oakes what brought him to Kirkland Lake and the Lake Shore. This is what he told me: The discovery of gold at Swastika was one of the many results of the disâ€" covery of silver at Cobalt, each being directly attributable to the construcâ€" tion of the Ontario Government railâ€" way. The search for other silver areas that led to the discovery of gold at Larder led silver hunters to iook for gold and resulted in 1907 in the staking of claims at Kirkland Lake and hundreds of other places in the country easily reached from the railway. No notable discoveries were made there and, most claims had been abandoned by 1911. Discovery of Lake Shore Among the first discoveries which led to gold mining along the T. N. O. were those at Swastika where small mills were operated at the Swastika and Lucky Cross mines, It was the gold ore from these properties that reâ€" vived hopes in the area east of Swasâ€" tika after the first efforts there had been abandoned. It was the Swastika discovery that staited Harry Oakes on the long search that ended at the Lake Shore. found gold at the Dome. About the same time, Ben Hollinger and Alex Gilâ€" lies took up the ground between David» son‘s claims and Gilies lake. Sandy McIntyre staked at the west end of Pearl lake and Bill Smith at the east. Numerous gold showings were uncoverâ€" ed during the latter part of the season, and by the end of the year the disâ€" coveries were attracting the serious atâ€" tention of mine operators. Developâ€" ment of the Hollinger by the Timmins syndicate and of the Dome by the Nickel syndicate quickly showed that the deposits were large and rich. The running north of the Algomaâ€"Nipissing line in 1896, the exploring of the counâ€" try tributary to the proposed transconâ€" tinental line that was to open the Abiâ€" tibi clay belt, the extension of the Onâ€" tario Government railway north to connect with the transcontinental line, the discovery of silver at Cobalt, all were important factors in the discovery of gold at Porcupine, for they brought people where the gold is. But of all the people who were attracted to Porâ€" cupine by the reports made by the: many pioneers the only ones to findi‘ gold in any quantity were men who were there for the express purpose of looking for gold and they did not find the big deposits until they had done a‘ lot of looking. | Carry on Work on Gillies Airport Through Winter The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "Dr. E. F. Armstrong, president of the Cobalt Board of Trads, learned this week from Ottawa that the Departmen; of National Defence would continue the work of clearing the airport site at Gillies‘ Depot throughout the winter "While I was working at this shaft, there were many visitors to the area. The Wrightâ€"Hargreaves was many times sampled. The history of the exâ€" aminations made on that property would be an interesting story. Then work was started at the Teckâ€"Hughes. The Teck had varied experiences, getâ€" ting some good ore and a lot that was not so good. Tom Jones kept his peoâ€" ple at it, however, and the main ore zone of the camp was opened up there. While it was low grade it was wide and persistent, and it dia@a have the appearâ€" ance of ore. With the Teckâ€"Hughes crushed zone on my left and the Wrightâ€"Hargreaves showing on my right, it seemed reasonable to drive north under the lake. It would probâ€" ably catch the extension of the Teck zone and might hit it where it was rich. There was no conclusive evidence of this, but neither was there any reaâ€" son to prozseed in cother directions. I had to take a chance and fortunately I struck high grade. I was lucky, of course, but I had at least baen persisâ€" tent. I had succeeded in making a mine out of a prospect." "During this pericd I was expecting to get payments for my share in the Toughâ€"Oakes. I had little money and the cash payments did not materialize. Later I received some shares and some dividends from the Toughâ€"Oakes, but there were many times when I was clean broke. Under these circumâ€" stances I could not make great headâ€" way, but fortunately I held on and eventually I cbtained the money necesâ€" sary to get my shaft down. "Close to the lake I started sinking on gray hard band in the softer red rocks. #This gray band was in places quite high grade and as the work proâ€" ceeded I found it to be fairly persistent. Unfortunately the softer rocks carried only low values and samples taken over a mining width were often low. Some of the samples cut where the gray rib was missing gave very little gold and I did not receive much encouragement from those who sampled the walls of the shaft. If it had not been for the high grade in that little gray band I would not have had much inducement to go on. That friendly gray rock lec me on, at times giving very high values. began development. I also acquired some of the adjoining claims which were not at that time highly regarded. Distributors for Northern Ontario Phone 300 Timmins, Ont.

It had been anâ€" ncocunced that the camp, in common with several others of a like natur®é, would be closed and the men transâ€" ferred to different airport sites, but Dr. Armstrong communicated with the deâ€" partment and secured the assurance that the project would be carried on. Dr. Armstrong stated that of the 360 acres which comprise the site, only oneâ€"third had so far been cleared of trees and that less than 50 acres had been stumped. He c:mphasized the fact that the wood cut on the ground was needed for relief supplies and also that the airport site would be an ideal one for camp purpceses when militia units hold their annual training period in the district, as they did a couple of years ago. Men at the camp were reâ€" cruited chiecfly from the unemployed single men of the district and have found the work there much more satisâ€" factory than remaining on relief in the towns and communities."
