MAPS of the [principal MINING CAMPS of Northern Ontario FREE AWreat Market Garden Ara. The Porcupine district has excellent agricultural possibilities, and a mum her of settlers throughout the district are proving that farming and stock- raising may be successfully and pro- fitahly earried on here. Dairy farms have been effeetively conducted by a number of farmers in this district, and the raising of stock has been car- ried on with success by many. It iiin market gardening, however, that the must signal sureess has been achieved. The North Land is Ontario's great market garden, and for size, quality and yield the market garden produee of the Porcupine would he diliieult to exc'e Gold Mining the Premier Industry.

IKE POROUPINS ADVANOI Mines are situated in Tisdale Twp., and in the Town of Timmins ahd the Township of Tisdale the chief produe- ers are located. In IYhitney Town- ship, Deloro Township, Whiteside, Township and in other more outlying sections there are mining plants that have produced encouraging results, but work has not been carried on to such an extent as to place these pro- perties in the list of established pro- dueers. _ "tieratehed" Yet.

A good many millions more have been indieat.. ed by the diamond drilling done, and to quote a favourite expression of many of the best posted mining men and engineers, "the country has not even been 'sevatehed' yet.” _ At a Board ot.' Trade Banquet in Timmins wine two years ago, the thenl President of the Board of Trade, who; is by profession an expert in (lianiomh drill work and has (-arried on opera- tions through the Porcupine for years, made the statement, which has gone unchallenged and uneontradieted to the present time, that there has not been a single prospect in the district that had been sutlieiently finaneed and ellieiently managed that had not eventually proved itself to be a real mine. ' The Deeper You Go the Better The Grade. Mining men generally are agreed that Poreupine has few, if any, real failures, and there is another very commonly-held belief in the same ex- perieneed eireles,--that in Porcupine the further down you go the better the grade. The latter idea has been amply supported by the work on the deeper levels of the Hollinger and Me Intyre. At the Hollinger Mine ore has been proven to a depth of 2400 feet, a statement of striking signif1e- ance when it is remembered that by N o Failures Here if Finances And Management Right.

Every available diamond drill has; been busy, and at the present time tie-l tual mining and exploration work by" large mining interests is being con? ducted over a territory tiwelve miles in length through 'Mountjoy, Tisdale and Whitney Townships. In addition, re, ferenee may be made to the special activity in the Night Hawk Lake dis. triet, in Below and in Whitesides Townships. 'Prospeets are of the brightest and best. The ao11inger's Great.

The McIntyre, staked by Mr. Sandy Irelnlyve,in 1909, had milled 1,074,- 174 tons up to Sept. 30, 1921, and pro- dueed gold to the value of $9,898,105. The Dome Mines, staked in 1909, by Mr. Jack Wilson, has produced over nine million and a half dollars in gold, and has, ore reserves estimated in the neighborhood of ten millions.

Shortage of power handicapped the Hollinger in the early part of this Yettt', but the record produetiot' during the last sis months offset 'ttli, handicap to a great extent. The Hol- linger is anxious to expand and en- large its equipment and output. For this assurance of ample power is ne- cessary.
