Chibougamau Lake is in the northâ€"eastern part of Queâ€" bee, above Rouyn. Very promising reports have come from there into the Rouyn district. The Canadian Naâ€" tional Railways report for 1925 says, ‘‘This section of Quebec from Rouyn east along the Transcontinental is one of the most promising places left in northâ€"eastern Canada in which to exâ€" pect discoveries of merit which can be economically _ operated.‘‘ It also states that high values are found to exist at Chibougamau. _ We believe that several of the oldâ€"time prospecâ€" tors from here are arranging to go in.

The company is on the eve of earnings which promise to send this well over $1,000 per day â€"possibly close to $1,500 daily on 700,000 â€"shares. _ William â€" Wright, holder of about 600,000 shares of Wrightâ€"Hargreaves, is drawing at the rate of about $15,000 monthly from these shares, and with every indicaâ€" tion of this rising to around $1,000â€" a day in the near future. ‘‘These dividends have the habit of accumulating very fast. Whether the. holder of the shares goes to church on the Sabbath, goes fishing for a week or so, or possibly forms a habit of sleeping in late in the mornings, the steady stream of gold comes pouring in just the same. No matter where they are, this veritable avalanche of gold comes streaming in upon them. It is coming out of the mines and is the property of the shareholders. ‘"‘This is a part of the situation which exists at present in the partly developed sections of Northern Onâ€" tario. Beyond this party developed area is territory far greater‘in exâ€" tent than that now being developed. ‘"‘There is reason for being more optimistic toâ€"day about the new areas which are now being prospected‘than there was fifteen years ago for the areas which are now so hlghlv proâ€" ductive, ‘"‘This is the magnet which is atâ€" tracting mine hunters from far and wide, and which is creating a demand the world over for shares in such companies as are engaged in the busiâ€" ness of searching for mines."‘ GOLFERS REGRET DEATH OF GRASS ON THE GRES@TS The golfing season has not got away to its customary good start in this district this year.
