Box I 110, Timmins rood condit M » CÂ¥ The CP.R. has awarded a contract for the construction of 68 miles of railway from near Kipawa to the Des Quince section of Quebec. The new line will run on the east side of Lake Temiskaming, starting at where the present line ends, about ten miles from Kipawg, and running north to the Des Quince section of Quebec. In addition an eighfâ€"mile branch fine will run into Ville Marie. The conâ€" tract price is said to be over two milâ€" lion dollars, Angus and Taylor of North Bay chave the contract. Work is to be started at"once and thirty miles at least must be finished before next September, and the balance. ready some time next year. The new line will open up a territory rich in agriâ€" cultural possibilities. His Lordship Bishop Lorraine in a recent pastoral letter suggested that ithe proposed new line should be extended northâ€" ward to join the Transcontinental at or near La Reine. If this were done it would assuredly serve a large secâ€" tion of country very potentially rich in the way of agriculture, lumbering and mining. 5 _â€"_About fifty claims are said to have been staked in the locality where the Indian was supposed to have made ‘such a wonderful strike ‘some weeks ago. ([Most of the claims thus staked are in Rankin Township where close to forty are said to have been recordâ€" ed at Elk Lake. About 16 or so others in Doon Township are also said to have ben staked. Some months ago prospectors are said to have ‘been fooled through the reports of rich discoveries of gold given out by this same Indian. Nevertheless the prosâ€" pectors and others are giving full heed to his statements this time. The formation in the alleged new gold field is said to be much the same as in Kirkland Lake area. Indeed, many prospectors said these Rankin townâ€" ship claims had gold bodies that were identical with the formation at Kirkâ€" land Lake. ‘ C.P.R.â€"TO BUILD LINE FROM KIPAWA TO DES QUINCE FIFTY CLAIMS SAID TO BE RECORDED IN RANKIN TP. tors and leaders of the two companies and satisfaction with affairs ‘as they have been conducted.

Over sixty (miles of tracks ‘have reâ€" cently been reballasted, and new 90â€" pound rails have been laid on twenty miles. In addition, a number of new concrete structures have been built during the Summer, so that every bridge and eulvert on the main line is now permanent. There is now a conâ€" siderable volume of traffic being movâ€" ed over the T. & N. 0. from the west, which comes as far as ‘Cochrane on the Canadian National line and from there is taken over the Ontario Govâ€" ernment lines in order to make Toâ€" ronto and (Montreal in quicker time than by going all the way via ‘Canâ€" adian National.
