At Flin Flon is one of the great mines of the Dominion, and indeed of the world. The establishment of the mine, smelâ€" ter and zinc refinery in the wilderness at Flin Flon, and of the hydroâ€"electric plant at Island Falls, 50 miles beyond, is an epic story. It marks an achicveâ€" ment that has not been excelled in reâ€" cent times, and seldom has been equallâ€" ed. The men who established this community with its giant plants in Northern Manitoba are in the main those who still, under the leadership of R. E.

DEVELOPMENT: of the development work to date has been concentrated on a vein disâ€" covered by Terry Carlton, prospecting for R. J. Jowsey and J. W. Woods and free gold has been found on the vein in a number of places. The vein was stripped for a distance of 250 feet and a pit sunk to a de;th of 42 feet. At a point 95 feet east of the pif an assay of 2.56 oz. ($87.50 per ton) was obtained across a width of 2!% feet. 15 feet west of this a width of 2.3 feet assayed .71 ounces ($24 per ton). Other surface assays have been obtained as high as $10 per ton and the vein is "open‘‘ at both ends. Sampling results from the test pit to a depth of 42 feet have run as high as $74.55 per ton over a width of 3 ft. 8 inches.

Three shifts of one thousand men each worked in the plant, shaping whiffletrees and runners, while five thousand more worked on the hardwood ridges cutting timber for the ever busy shops. Five hunared men worked at pickling the product of the shops in alcohol, so they‘d stand the cold better. Paul‘s Benefactions Paul established the Hoopâ€"pole Camp and put the old bull cook in charge of it with a paltry five hundred men to work for him. He also established a cooper shop just to make a job for one of the cockees who had been accidentally cut in two when Paul‘s tobacco chopper fell off its shelf. The cookee had been sewed together again with bailing wire but it was rather a rough job and the poor fellow never recovered his full measure of strength and agility. There never has been any question of the operation under Paul‘s direction, of the sledâ€"runner and whiffietree works, which were located next door to the blacksmith shop.
