£émMm0racin? an area 0T sIx mileés square, there is not a single instance of faiâ€" lure where eflicient management and sufficient capital have been employed to make a mine.. And as is often said, ‘‘the surface is hardly scratched‘‘ as yet. Development has been confined to a relatively compact area around the three ‘big mines, the Hollinger, Mc Intyre and Dome. But occasional deâ€" yelopment work farther away in the Porcupine belt,â€"at the Poreupine vamp, as p embracing a there is not lure where sufficient ca to make a m ‘‘the surface is l yet. â€" Developmenr to a relatively c the three big min Intvre and Dome In the Poreupine the deposits of gold have been shown not to be confinâ€" ed to one or more specific sections but spread with lavish hbhand by nature over very extensive areas. Mr. Cynil Knight, EM., attached to the Governâ€" ment Geological Staff, has pointed out that in Northern Ontario there are two mineralized belts wherein preciâ€" ous metal mining may ‘be expected to be ecarried along most profitably. Each of these belts, he says, is of a length of at least seventyâ€"five mules. One of these is known as the Poreuâ€" pine belt, In the main iPoreupine Some conception of the importance of the Porcupine as a gold field may be gathered from the fact that of the one hundred million dollars‘ worth of gold produced in the Province of Onâ€" tario during the past ten years, over eightyâ€"five millions have been taken from the three leading mines in this districtâ€"the Hollinger, the Melntyre and the Dome. These three big mines have paid in dividends to shareâ€" holders over twentyâ€"six million dollars so it will be readily understood that goldâ€"mining in the Poreupine area is not without its satisfactory profitâ€" making features. mmmmwwwwmwwwwwmmmmmmmmmmwfiwmmwwmwwwmwwmc A Mineralized Belt Known to Extend Over 75 Miles in Leagth.â€"â€"Proâ€" imally Tone duction This Year Over $20,000,000.â€"â€"Rich Ore Bodies on Blgl Scale.=â€"Includes the World‘s Greatest Individual Producing Goldt t is maks e owe on Mine.â€"â€"Surface Hardly Scratched Yet.â€"â€"Some of the 3 ‘.3“’[;i.‘;.“}’f;‘-i‘.f}ii.i,;.’j' and Some of the Promising Prospects Mentioned. in any full way the m4nyv Prammisin® neweér nronerties and one, and one that would mwu("( pra tic "”‘\ as soon as was written.
