Friday the firs‘ of the special trains began to arrive. and the first was met at the depot by at least lif- teen hundred loynl citizens. who join- ed heartily in the Porcupine yell as the train pulled into the depot. In this respect the citizens one and all saw: much assistance by way of decorating their various homes and places of business, which, in conjunc- tion with the splendid street decora- tions arranged by Messrs. Pipe Co., of Toronto, transformed the leading town of Porcupine into an enthusiastic city. responding gaily to the magic touch of decorative skill. For two nights darkness failed to settle over the golden streets. aflame with a myriad of lights supplied by one of the greatest water powers of the continent. Those arriving by the first trains task. intlm-cl; hut when one has leeen over the gridiron of drifts and cross-- cuts. then one begins to realize the careful preparation and long months of planning that lie behind the.won- derful plant that now presents such a satisfying view to all who have the prosperity of the Porcupine camp at heart. The drifts and crosscuts are now being driven with the idea of making them all tributary to a main haul- age-way. and the series of chutes, fifty feet apart, will render more easv the handling of the ore. This main haulage-way, fifty feet. under ground. connects with the crusher house by a thirteen per cont. graded tunnel or shaft. Here it goes through one of two gyratnry crushers on to a belt cnn- veyor and passed on to a series of smaller zyratory crushers.

Aside from what had already been accomplished in such a short time there were yet 25.000.000 acres in this vast northern region which had not yet received any attention from the prospector. and it was not un- reasonable to assume that the re- sult of the same activity over thie wide area would result in the open- ing up and development ol many other camps.
