Reporter’s Grist From W. Coleman, llk Lake, Gowganda and Shin- ing Tree J. J., Regen. an old slate minerir ol Weloh extraction. was last week i seen examining the ridge just beyond {r the northwest corner at Coleman' township. in the Reserve. where there' I is known to be quite a body of slate. 1 His obieCt was to determine, ii 903- ‘ i sihle, the commercial value of the a slate in that locality. It proved to ' be of l-{uronian stratification, there- . fore lacking cleavage or other re. ‘ quisitce of value. In West Coleman, near the Edison mining claim, the West Coleman Mines. Ltd. have again started in ti prosecute development work on their properties there under the supervi- eion of Messrs. Fulkerson and Ben. nett. company directors. For the purpose. they have leased the Edison power plant and other of its mavhin- ery. They have quite a strong vein of calcite in diabase. which extends- lrom Little Trout Lake directly. through [our of their claims, when it veers south and parallels the west shore of Animanipissing Lake. The. vein has a good showing of cobalt' bloom and seems to be well mineral-i ized with copper and iron pyritel and galena. They have cut out. al good wagon road to the claimsf; erected comfortable camp buildings and otherwise seem to have matters well in hand to do good work, One of the Hitchcock brothers re- eently staked a silver minim; claim or two in .-\uld. Althoughonumorous- ly dotted with veteran claims. there yet seems to be hopeful puwibilities for the keen silver-claim pi‘mpector in that township. At.

N n c‘ m ri High Graders - At Work Again High graders have again been ply- ing their craft at Cobalt, this time making away with 240 pounds of rich silVer ore. The persons involv- ell are Heo. .-\. Prescott. Peter Cas- sels, John Mitchell. and 'Robert Pierce. The police iiniule capture of the band of freeboo‘ters about 12.30 on Sunday night, with the silver in their possession, valued at about $1.- 000. Prescott and (l'aSSels appear to be quite well known about. Cobalt, but, Pierce and Mitchell hail from [KlimtreaL being: recent arrivals. the former at one time being: a profes- sional pugilist. The ore was con! tained in two sacks, and was being carted away in a wagon by Prescott and Cassells, the other two follow- int,r on feet, when apprehended. Just how Chief Caldbick became possess- ed of the information leading to the arrest of the looters does not clear- ly appear. but so quickly and quiet- ly were the wagon occupants arrest- ed that the two footrnen were not aware of what was going on when they came forward a few paces in the rear for presentation with handcuffs. They were at, once escorted to the ealaboose and on Monday afternoon had a hearing, at which they were handed out justice in no uncertain quality or quantity. ml.- t M )l H" I] )Uuw )l p .1 ml dam [ht followir b. m. -- 5 30 yards th ntri fl .1 _\' ll“ I).
