MAPS NOW AVAILABLE FOR LAKES ON HUDSON ROUTE Oxford, Gods and Knee Lakes Mapped by Dept. of Interior. Some Inâ€" teresting Details of Hudson Bay Area There is always interest hereabouts in the great Hudson Bay area, and the following from the Departmcent of the Interior at Ottawa, sent to The Adâ€" vance this week, should be of particuâ€" lar interest to readers:â€" A new map sheet just issued by the Topographical Survey of the Departâ€" ment of the Interior is of particular inâ€" terest to those who have their eye upon the development of Canada‘s hinterâ€" land. In this, a provisional edition of the Oxford House fourâ€"mile sheet of the National Topographic series, some 5600 square miles of territory have been represented upon the map. The map has been compiled from the use of aerial photographs and from data obâ€" tained by explorers and surveyors. There are still a few blank spaces upon the sheet but for the most part the areas of Knee, Gods and Oxford lakes with the labyrinthine lake and river systems tributary thereto are revealed in their true outline and detail. Oxford lake, an expansion of Hayes river, was on the ancient route inland from York factory to Norway House. A considerable contrast to the new sheet is Arrowsmith‘s map of 1795, whereon the mere outline «of the lake is shown. Oxford lake was called "Pathâ€" apoowâ€"winepee," meaning "holey" lake. Colen lake shown on the map about 25 miles south of Oxford lake is named for Chief Factor Colen of York Fort who on the 5th of July, 1798, issued inâ€" structions to William Sinclair as folâ€" Jows:â€" ‘"Men are to be seelcted to man four or five canoes fitted out from Boats, Cargoes and the Rock Store. You are to proceed to the head of Trout River (now the portion of the Hayes connectâ€" ing Oxford and Knee lakes) where you are to build a substantial house. Eight men will be appointed to conduct canoes. They will receive double Trip Money. After your house is built the men to collect timber in readiness for the erection of a stone house for tradâ€" ing goods, independent of your adwellâ€" ing, . . . these buildings to be surâ€" rounded by Stockadoes to secure yOu from the attack of Indians; the quantiâ€" ty of Goods you will have in charge will require this Security I have engagâ€" ed Indians to hunt for you.

It is of interest to remember that Sinclair‘s "English Provisions‘" came in via the Hudson Bay route. ‘Then while still there was only a thin fringe of settlement along the St. Lawrence, Ontario and Erie fronts, Oxâ€" ford House reared Qself on this early North American highway of the Hayes. At the time that Nelson fought the battle of the Nile, leaving Napoleon‘s army stranded in Egypt, on August 1, 1798, William Sinclair was in occupaâ€" tion of the new house, a building 42 feet by 24, with an upper story 9 feet under the ridge pole. Ever since that time barley and quantities of vegeâ€" tables have been raised at the post.

Just try them with honey and milk or cream! In 1819 Sir John Franklin passed Oxford House and recorded that it exâ€" hibited "unequivocal signs of decay." Deputy Governor Nicolas Garry going east on his return to England via York Factory on the 18th of August, 1821, finds the buildings in "good order and the situation very pleasant" with a high mountain behind the house from which a fine view could be obtained. Garry‘s mountain was one by courtesy only being slightly higher than the surface of the surrounding country which is one of unusually low relief averaging 50 feet. Furs in those old days were as gold, beaver skins being the medium of exâ€" change and regarded as equivalent to coin of the realm. This is still one of the richest furâ€"bearing regions but men today seek also for minerals. Supplies and winter equipment have been taken over a winter road from wWabowden Station on the Hudson Bay Railway at Mile 137, where also is loâ€" cated a commercial air base for transâ€" portation purposes. wWith all of the transport facilities the old canoe routes are still open. Gods lake, lying diagonally across the southeast half of the map, may be reached from both Oxford and Knee lakes. Several canoe routes to Norâ€" way House and Island lake with the main route to Hudson Bay are marginâ€" ally marked on the map and the falls and portages shown.

Nearer Timmins there are fishermen who have met with pleasing success recently, but they are reticent about giving out information and not altogether from selfish motives.

The main item is the announcement of a new vein at : Barryâ€"Hollinger, of which four feet show very marked and spectacular gold.

The mill has been operating on 55' ton a day. schedule, but it looks as if it l will be stepped up shortly to cope with the rock being taken out, which conâ€" | siderably exceeds that tonnage. There is nothing new regarding Paterson and Amity, which seem to be going on satisfactorily on recent descoveries. Gold Hill‘s 1,100 ft. level is stated to have yielded a far more important vein than those on the upper levels, and the steady efforts of the management shbow signs of being rewarded at long last.

In the period of training the Algonquins will be brigâ€" aded with the Owen Sound Greys, the Simcoe Foresters and the 23rd Parry Ssound Regiment, as they have been for the past three summers.

Cobalt and New Liskeard. It is hoped that at least as many men will go from this district as were on the rolls last year, and to give all an opportunity. enrolment may take place at any time now. Those wishing to become memâ€" bers of the Algonquins and attend through the training period should see E. E. Smith or Raoul Bertrand and arrange to have their names added to the lists. At the close of the training period last year it was arranged that the camp should be held at Huntsville in 1929, and that a system of allowing each unit a season in their home town would be inaugurated. It was stated at that time that the camp in 1930 would be held in Haileybury. _ During the past seasons the boys who went down from here enjoyed the outing greatly. A number of them were stuâ€" dents at the High School and the training in the open air coming closely after a hard period of study was parâ€" ticularly appreciated."
