While a number of promising showings of visible gold were uncovered at earlier dates, the real excitement did not -.tart until June, and since that time the length and width of the district has steadily grown. It is seldom that so many of the older and soundly '•siablisbed mining companie.s have been sc prom- inent in securing ground and options as has been the case in t-nls Held. Among those who have ii.vt-ad} se- cured claims are Coniaga.s Alines, Kirkland Hudson Bay (coMii .'lied by Lake Shore), United States Smellers, Macassa, International Nicke:.

Several of the properties held by these compan- ies are already under active develop. ment and results of work do.ne to date in the district cannot help biU create enthusiasm over the outlook Liter- ally hundreds of veins have been opened up and showings of visible gold has become a common occur- rence. 'The eastern section of the new dis- trict lies some sixteen miles north- west of tbe Little Long Lac field, which has been so prominent during the last year. In this part of the field several properties have been un- der development tor some months, and last winter a shipment of gold ore from surface of tbe Dik-Ulk prop- erty was sent to the Flin Flon smel- ter in Manitoba and it is said that after all charges were paid h return of some eighty dollars per ton was obtained.

In Sturgeon River, during the past month or two, literally huudreds ot veins have been reported to have been discovered, and many of tcese are said to be of a spectacular nature.

Tried Kruschen â€" Now Full of Life Only those who have experienced backache can understand how painful it can be. Only they can understanti the disappointment of this woman as .she tried one remedy after anotherâ€" only to find that they failed. And they will appreciate her delight at now being able to write the following letter:â€" "I was always feeling tired, never had any energy, and could get no sleep at night, for the pain in my back. So after trying several differ- ent so-called remedies (which did me no good at all), I decided to try Kruschen Salts. 1 am delighted to be able to say that I am now a different woman, full of life and energy, and free from the pain in the back." â€" (Mrs.i M. A. Backache is commonly caused by the kidneys becoming inactive, and allowing impurities to accumulate in the bloodstream. The six salts in Kruschen will coax your kidneys back to healthy, normal action so that they will rid your blood-stream of evei-y particle of poisonous waste matter. As an immediate result you will ex- perience joyous relief from those old, dragging pains. .\nd as you persevere with the "little daily dose" of Kinis- chen, the twinges will become less and less frequent until finally your back- ache will be no more than the mem- ory of a bad dream. Kruschen Salts is obtainable at all Drug Stores at 45c. and 75c. per bottle. Canada's Exports Up $51,273,382 Dominion's Show Big- Last Year. Trade Increase Over Figures improving.
