Most of the stakings had been in the Townships of Whitney and Shaw, but discoveries were soon made in the Township of Tisdale and around Matâ€" tagami River. In October, 1909, Benâ€" jamin Hollinger and aâ€"number of other prospectors staked claims around Miller and Gillies Lakes. These Iclai-ms afterwards became the famous Hollinger Mines. The Government extended the railâ€" way to South Poreupine bringing the line of steel within six miles of the Town of Timmins. Owing to the fact that the claims were rich and many people were coming into the district, the district was progressing well and they expected to have a stamp mill on the Hollinger property ‘by July, 1911. The year 1911 was a disastrous one, however. Forest fires swept this disâ€" t#het destroying life and property, inâ€" cluding the new stamp milk â€" After the fire, operations were pushed on and two saw mills were erected to proâ€" duce lumber for the mine buildings. In the year 1912 the mining men went on strike which stopped operâ€" Over this trail the dauntless prosâ€" pectors made their way, seeking fame and fortune. At the eastern end of Poreupine Lake, a number of huts were ‘built which later developed into the Town of Poreupine. Poreupine, or ‘‘Golden City,‘‘ as many of the prospectors called it, became a town of stores, banks, dwellings and hotels and a post office. Owing to the rush for the recording of claims, a Recorâ€" der‘s office was opened. Canada isâ€"steadily increasing in her production of gold. Among her nuâ€" merous gold mining districts Poreuâ€" pine is one of the chief. As far back as 1896, before Cobalt came into existence, a few prospectors and wandering Indians knew of the occurrence of gold in the Porecupine, which was then the northern and pracâ€" tically unexplored portion of the Disâ€" trict of Sudbury. At intervals during the following years a few surveyors reported the discovery of that precious metal. It was not, however, until the failure of the Larder Lake Gold Rush in 1907, that Poreupine was taken seriously by mining men and capitalists. The churches are all well represent ed, the Anglican, Baptâ€" ist and the new one hundred thousand dollar Roman Catholie Churehk. The only means of reaching this disâ€" triect was by canoe andâ€" portage through fortyâ€"five miles of forest. The starting place of this journey was at Matheson, and later at Kelso or Mileage 222. The Masons were organized here in 1912 and the Oddfellows, Knights of Columbus and other lodges quickly followed. There are also the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides. Among the ladies‘ societies are the Red Cross and the Imperial Order of the Daughâ€" ters of the Empire. In 1914 also, there happened the worst possible thing for the Camp, the Great War. It made supplies searce and it took the ‘best men out of our Camp. The mines were compelled to run on a much smaller seale and in later years it accounted for the great percentage of aliens in our camp. During the years 1910â€"12 there had grown up a town, named Timâ€" mins, after a family which then reâ€" sided here. It is only one mile from the Hollinger, and as the Hollinger inâ€" creased in importance it did also. In the year 1916 there occurred anâ€" other fire which only touched the Porâ€" cupine district slightly. However, it did much damage ‘between here and Cobalt. TheTown of Timmins at the present time is governed by a Mayor and Council. TRE PORCUPINE AS T APPEARS T0 H. S.
