BEAUDIN, . ~ P ancial-Secretary 131‘98{: It is from The. Northern. ~ **The work of reachmg the coal seams located last winter by MceCar:â€" thy dlamond dnllmg has ‘met with bad luck in both attemipts to reach it with a shaft. In March and April a shaft was sunk 55 feet, sturting 8x16, ‘but reducing to O6x1 becii,_u'se of the slippery nature of the ground. This got down only 55 feet when it had to be abandoned. Another shaft was started in May. It began Ox8 and was reduced to 3xb /in size. At 85 feet the difficulties of sinking assertâ€" ed themselves so strongly that it: was decided to sink a borelhole from the bottom the other 30 feet which it was: calculated ‘would have to be driven to reach the seam.. At 110 feet from surface this borehole struck a flow of water so heavy that in a few hours the shaft ‘filled to river level. The operators believed this bad luck asâ€" sailed them just a fe\\ ieet short of success, Heavy Flow of Water Encountered When Shaft is Down 110 Feet. _ "The.two shafts were sunk on the east shore of the Mattagami and Irgin the sinking log one can only presume that théy encountered a very old water course. ‘The deeper shart started in indurated sand and clay, which changed to blue mud. At 110 feet the borehole encountered a hard layer. Two seams of lignite were enâ€" countered.. Directly across the river another company, in which MeCarâ€" thy is also interested, last winter got a borehole down to 115 feetmand ‘enâ€" countered a seam of what is said to be a fine grade of steam coal. At least, the samples from the core gave a very fine analysis and showed it to be distincetâ€" ly unlike any coal so far located in Canada. Just what plans the Mcâ€" CHief Justice of the Supreme Court who has been appointed Royal Commissioner. to continue the inâ€" vestigations into the GCustoms The following will be of general inâ€" N egotiations have been completed for the erection and work will be dommenced ‘upon â€" a terminal warehouse and cold storage plant to cost in the neighâ€" borhood of ::ve million dollars and to be located just below the Place Viger Station on Craig street, Mont~ real, according to information. given out at Canadian Pacific Railway headquarters. . The plant will be butlt by the Montreal Rail and Harbor Terminals, Limited. It will have a space area of 600,000 square féet of which oneâ€"third will be devoted to refrigerator purposes, the balance to be used as dry storage for package fre‘rit and other merchandise. It will be of the most modâ€" ern construction of concrete throughout. . RIO, THURSDAY. AUGUST 5th, 1926 \. *‘ who staked claims in ‘the section ‘areâ€"rather ‘"up a tree.‘‘. $Their duties will shortlv be due but ‘they‘ cannot possibly fulfil them beâ€" ordinary surface work would be wasted effort and transportation of the necessary machinery to bore or sink shafts is <beyond the means of the average man. If a modgerate delay in duties, ete., were granted by the Department of Mines it would give the prospectors a chance to get their claims into strong hands. To harshâ€" ly enforce the regulations would proâ€" bably result in killing valuable interâ€" est and damage Ontario‘s chances of securing for itself a supply of coal from Northern Ontario.‘‘ Carthy ‘organization have is not known. They will probably try again farther back from the river. In the meantime the interest taken by Mr. James McEvoy in the discovery claims‘ work and the fact that the Department of Mines has a geologist in the field, have promoted northern interest in ‘the chances of good coal being located in commercial quantiâ€" ties. The difficulties met with have but added to determination . that something should be done. If the goâ€" vernment were to take action they would receive northern applause and undoubtedly the rest of the province would appreciate the effort to locate a provincial source of coal.

The water indeed, has been so bad that engines ‘have been drowned out while going through it. The Government should raise the road to the same height as the bridge.. This would remedy the difficulty. ‘ w The Montreal plant will be built on property purâ€" chased from the Canadian Pacific Railway and will serve the tracks and shipping facilitiese of that comâ€" pany. _ It will be in no sense competitive with any ‘other concern of a similar nature in Montreal, but wil} « develop and expand its own business, handling in parâ€" ‘ticular butter, cheese, eggs and other dairy produce .cargoes, so far as its cold storage end is conserned, w while its dry storage space will be amply taken UD-}, with package freight and other merchandise. Although the Chautaugua this year at New Liskeard seemed to be well attended, the garantee was not reachâ€" ed and those responsible for bringing ‘the event to New Liskeard had to contribute a small amount each to‘ make up the difference between what was taken in and what was required ‘to meet‘the guzrrantee.. Theâ€"Speaker says that the Chataugqua while a good event, was not up to the high stanâ€" ~dard ‘of the first year or two. that 1ts was held in the North. | ? The building, whichwill be ten storeys in height, will, it is stated, be compieted in ten months‘ and the roof will be on before frosts, commence. ROAD AT FOOT OF PORCUP C a LAKE NOT IN GOOD lile road from the brldge to th 'doc at the foot of Porcupine Lake is in bad shape. Recently, the How important this Golden City road is may be evidenced by a conâ€" sidgration of the number of cars usâ€" mg the road.. Fully 400 cars passed oxe}' th Mbndge on Sunday. : There was no water on the road on Sundav= but for â€"two. weeks or so recently, there has been a couple of, feet <of water on the road. It is true that there has been an unusually wet sumâ€" mer, but the same tronble as indicated has ‘occurred each spring, and experiâ€" ence has taught the necessity for combatting the trouble. , One day last week a car was notet in ‘town with notices chalked upon it to the effect that it was the first autoâ€" mobile to come all the way by road. to Timmins,. The car was driven by Mr. Perey Hancock, of the Cochra.ne' garage, and it made the trip in about six hours. The trip was made by the ‘new road recently completed from Porquis Junction to Cochrane, and from the Junction the new highway to Timmins was used. . In addition to Mr.â€" Hancock (the cear contained Messrs 0. Horton, S. Smith and K. _Amendola, so that the test was a pracâ€" tical one, the car not travelling . light. While the: roadwa) from Timmins ‘to Cochrane is now all passable there are several strips where it is pather hard travelling, but these will likely ‘be, remedied at an early date.. It is likely that the opening of the hlgh- way through to Cochrane will inâ€" crease intercourse between ‘Timmins and the railroad centre of the North. This will be a good thing for all conâ€" ‘The car here last week atâ€" tracted very general interest and all were pleased to see that the trip had actually been made. Reports of Timâ€" mins drivers getting through to Cochâ€" rane some weeks ago are said tq be unfounded and there is a general beâ€" lief that Mr. Hancock has the disâ€" tinction of being the first niotorist to really travel the distance by road beâ€" tween Timmins and Cochrane..
