Comparing the North of 1910 With the North Land Toâ€"day Visit Fifteen Years Ago Recalled by Walkerton Editor. Crossing the Mattagami in 1910, and Now. The Growth of Timmins. A Land of Many Races For some time past Eedy has been doing g the North Land by inf interesting articles about this country published in his newspaper, The iSt. Mary‘s â€" Journalâ€"Argus.

Eedy, Editor of The Walkerton has startâ€" past Mr. John W. oung good work for by informative and s about this country TARADE MALK AECIHSTENED ‘‘It was just fifteen years since we had visited the north country beâ€" Fore. We kept track of the date by remembering an incident that oceurâ€" red up there on our previous visit. @‘lt was the day of King Edward VII‘s funeral in 1910 that party of us press people journeyed out from the railway contruction ecamp of Cochrane to the end of the rails on the new â€" Transcontinental which was then being constructed. The ‘ails had just been laid to a point 34 miles west of Cochrane at the crossing point of the Mattagami River. No bridge had yet been built over the Mattagami which is quite wide at this point. After journeyâ€" ing slowly through solid virgin bush on what was really a_ temporary roadâ€"bed we arrived at the river bank where one of the contractors had a big construction camp. There our party was invited to dine in frontier style off tin plates. After dinner Rev. J. A. McDonald, editor of the Globe, took out his watch and noted that it was the exact hour at which the funeral service of the King was being held in Westminster Abbey. _ The company was called to order and there out in the solid forâ€" est, hundreds of miles from civilizâ€" ation and not so far fromâ€" James the facts about being widely c wav among the THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO 2 1«â€"26 Bay, the stentorian tones of Canaâ€" ada‘s greatest preacher rang out in the solemn stillness. The occasion was one that we will not soon forâ€" ‘"‘*At Cochrane we stepped off the main line for a brief visit to the Poreupine gold field. It is a surprise to some people to find that this mining district is not all â€"rocks. As a matter of fact it is right in the Clay Belt of the north. The mineral of course is found in rock. Modern mining machinery has made it profitâ€" able to grind up low grade gold ore. We were somewhat surprised to learn that the Hollinger which is the second biggest gold producer in the world, bringing its sharehoiders annual profits of many millions, is a low grade proposition, its ore runnâ€" ing about seven dollars a ton. The manager. of this mammoth enterâ€" prise is a mining engineer from South Africa, a country where ilow grade mining has bheenâ€" highly perâ€" fected. () ‘*Around the Hollinger mine has sprung up within the past eight years a gold camp which is being erystallized into a fine modern city. Right vears ago Timmins wasn‘t on the map. â€" Toâ€"day it has a populaâ€" tion of over 16,000. Over three thousand men _ mostly heads . of families, are employed in the Holâ€" linger,. A couple of other big minâ€" es, the Melntyre and the Dome, also haye large pay rolls and among them all three neighbouring tewns, Timmins, â€" Schumacher and South Poreupine, all with a radius of four or five miles, support a population of _ about _ twentyâ€"five _ thousand people. ‘‘Timmins used to be situated on Gillies Lake but there isn‘t any lake any more. In the process of mining the rock is pluverized and the pul- verized rockâ€"refuse called *‘ :sllmes, is pumped ‘out in a muddy stream inâ€" to hillies Lake. In a few years the slimes filled the lake with the rock sediment which noâ€" doubt one _ day will be covered with buildings. Alâ€" ready they have built a big curling rink at Timmins on top of the slimâ€" es. The same thing has occurred at other mines in the district and as a result several lakes have disappearâ€" ed or are disappearing off the map. is surprised at the permanent is surprised at the permanent appearance of what was just eight years ago the beginning of a mining camp. "The heav y mud thoroughâ€" fares are being overcome by putting down several mlles of new bitulithic pavement. Crushed stone roadways have also been laid on numâ€" ber of the streets.

New Canadians of a seore of nationalities are found there. _ The largest colony is that of the Italians who number about a thousand and from what we heard in Timmins are making a good class of citizens. As a rule the various nationalities are mixing freely and are quickly adoptâ€" ing Canadian ways.
