It is under control of Mr. Errington and it is said that Bunker Hill and Sulliâ€" van are interested. The spot is aâ€" bout five miles north of the famous Croesus Gold Mine. The copper find has been stripped for three or four hundred feet in length, gossan showâ€" ing over this length. At one place it has been stripped for a width of 27 feet with gossan over that width. Whether it is all ore has yet to be deâ€" termined. The showing in one spot is reported to have given ore averaging 7 per cent. copper over a width of 10 feet 6 inches. Samples which have come out to The Miner office are cerâ€" tainly impressive. _ The Melntyre block of 36 claims is in Warden townâ€" ship, north of Munro, a short distance northwest of the discovery. Only a small amount of work has been done by Mcintyre and Mr. Robinson, the ‘‘The Matheson copper rush is growing apace. Six hundred claims have been staked and seores of prosâ€" pectors and claim stakers are locating more. _ Neven townships are being prospected. ‘*Assays from the original discovâ€" ery, made by Mr. K. S. Potter and asâ€" sociates in Munro township, look very important. The staking of 36 claims by Mclntyre and the acquiring of 52 by Jos. Errington, Potter et al, have aroused great interest. Interest in the copperâ€"gold discovâ€" eries east of Matheson is continuing without any abatement. Indeed, the interest appears to be increasing. At Matheson there is a general opinion that Bob Potter now **has the world by the tail,"" as one Matheson man put it a couple of weeks ago, _ And everybody is ‘pleased at this idea, feeling that if any man in the North Land actually deserves to make a hbig strike it is the same Bob Potter, who has spent his time and money without stint to add to the general developâ€" ment of the North Land. In reference to the Matheson copâ€" per field The Northern Miner recently gave much space to an article on the prospectors of the area. The Northâ€" ern Miner article is as follows:â€" MATHESON COPPER RUSH 1N IMPORTAKCE Six Hundred Claims Have Been Stakâ€" ed. Seven Townships are Beâ€" ing Prospected D. SUTHERLAND, Manager. J. PAUL MICHAUD, Manager. 31 ‘‘A feature in connection with the discovery is that it was not made last year, but was actually made about 18 years agoâ€"actually before gold was discovered in Poreupine or Kirkland Lake. The claim was secured at that time by Joseph Bourke, of North Bay, now associated with the contracting firm of ~Angus and Taylor. Mr. Bourke caused the regulation amount of assessment work to be done, and also bought out the interest of a partâ€" ner in the claim. Since then the acreâ€" age taxes of 5 cents per acre have been regularly paid, amounting to less than $2.00 per year. ‘‘Robt. Potter, prominent lumberâ€" man of Matheson, is in control of the proposition, and is conducting the present negotiations *A deal of importance is pending for the discovery group of properties in Munro Township, in which a big deposit of chalcopyrite has been disâ€" covered.,The property came into proâ€" minence in the late Fall, when it became known that Melntyreâ€"Poreuâ€" pine interests were endeavouring to secure an option. However, Melntyre did not secure the option ‘because of other negotiations being under way. CHALCOPYRITE DEPOSIT IN TOWNSHIP OF MUNRO The following despatch _ from Matheson will be of general interest: ‘"The Matheson area is on a big break which extends from Poreupine, and west of that to Kamiskotia and beyond, eastward through Lightning River and on into Quebec. This was brought out by Mr. Cyril W. Knight, who also stressed the existence of a big southern break of which Kirkland is the best known feature. Dr. Dougâ€" las Wright indicated an offshoot from the north break branching southeast somewhere near the interior of the Quebec border and cutting down toâ€" ward Clericy township. The imporâ€" tance of this major geological feature pointed out by leading geologists, is becoming more marked than ever with recent discoveries and developments. That the recent copper discoveries in Ontario have great importance was stressed by iHon. Chas. MeCrea and his Deputy Minister of Mines, Mr. Thomas W. GHibson, in their New Year mining reviews. _ Northern belief is that the developments at Chelmsford, Kamiskotia, Matheson and Ben Nevis promise increased production of eopâ€" per, lead and zine for Onrtario in the not distant future. | ‘‘Prospectors propose to bring to the attention of Mr. McCrea the advisability of throwing open for staking the Abitibi Indian reserve, 30 square miles in extent, just east of Munro township. No Indnans have lived on this reserve for years. of the Potters has staked a find in MeCool township. Its imporâ€" tance is not known at the moment. A find has been made in the northeast corner of Michaud."‘‘ ‘"‘The Matheson copper occurrences again emphasize the fact, pointed out by The Northern Mimer, that copper is being found a few miles north of major gold discoveries. There may be no special significance in this. ‘‘Now that there is new excitement east of Matheson Mr. Thomas Rogers, a well known prospector, recounted to The Northern Miner the fact that he had seen samples of bornite, high grade copper ore, which were brought out of the Ghost Mountain country more than ten years ago. These were obviously, it is yemembbered, float. (thost Mountain, which is about 10 miles east of the Potter find, is an imâ€" posing mass of diabase, rising about 800 feet above the surrounding counâ€" try. On top of it the Abitibi Power and Paper Company have erected a fire observation steel tower 130 feet high, affording a most magnificent view of the country for 40 miles aâ€" round. It can be expected that the Ghost Mountain and (Ghost River country will be thoroughly prospected when the snow is off the ground, if not before. ‘*The orginal Potter discovery is in amygdaloidal basalt, with a tongue of granite to the south, and to the north serpentine, and old Temiskaming diaâ€" base. Covered with two or three feet of snow the ground makes slow prosâ€" pecting but government geological maps, made ten or twelve years ago, during the Munroâ€"Beatty gold exeiteâ€" ment, are informative and useful. Copper has been reported in that counâ€" try for a great many years but nc one paid any attention to it until reâ€" eently. company‘s geologist, is deeply imâ€" pressed with the possrbilities. ‘"Â¥inds have been made @lso in Mcâ€" Cool, €Coulson, Michaud and Wilkie townships, all in the same neighborâ€" hood, and heavy staking is proceeding on these. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO sMr. (. D. Moshier, who is one of the oldâ€"timers of Timmins, having been here since 1913, left this week for New Germany, Lunenburg Counâ€" ty, Nova Seotia, to reside. Hosts of friends here will regret the removal of this good citizen, and wish him the best in his new location. \ A big sand beach is also to be estabâ€" lished for bathing, together with the necessary bathing houses, etec. . The service station will be an unusually wellâ€"equipped one, with garage accomâ€" modation for about fifty cars. Apâ€" parently the intention is to have a thoroughly equipped summer resort, according to the information coming from Cobalt last week. The completion of the North Land highway is expected to mean a great increase in the tourist traffic here. Around Cobalt and Haileybury this opinion is held very strongly, and they are backing their opinion with their money. An instance of this is the case of the Temagami resort by a new company. This new company is the Temagami Outfitting Company. Mr. Fraser D. Reid is the president, and Major E. J. Holland the managing director. _ The directors include D. L. Jemmett, G. A. Bagshaw and C. H. Moore. The intention is to take over the O‘Connor Hotel at Temagami, reâ€" mode] and redecorate it througout, reâ€" make it one of the very finest tourist hotels in the country. The additions will include a big danceing pavillion. Boathouses, garages, filling stations, etc., will be built and operated, while all kinds of suppliese will also be handled at the store at Temagami for the benefit and conveniene of visitors. When commenting upon the magâ€" nitude of this remarkable life assurâ€" ance accomplishment within the Doâ€" minion‘s frontiers, B. W. N. Grigg, Advertising Manager of the Mutual Life, stated to The Globe that, ‘ far as our knowledge extends, this is the largest single policy ever issuâ€" ed by a Canadian company.‘‘ The salesman who has been awardâ€" ed the: credit for the placing of the $1,000,000 poliey is J. A. Donovan. It so happens that one of the largest poliecies previously prepared by Mr. Donovan was also written on Mr. Hatch‘s life. This policy is dated some two years ago, when the Presiâ€" dentâ€"elect of Hiram Walker‘s was inâ€" sured for the amount of $250,000 by tooderham Worts when acting in a Presidential capacity. The initial premium on the policy just taken out on Mr. Hatch‘s lifae was $36,000. The business was secured by the Muâ€" tual Life of Canada in a straight comâ€" petitive field with other companies and without reducing irates, which are on the usual basis. It is noticeâ€" able, too, that Mr. Hatch is designated as a firstâ€"class risk. It is interesting to note that Mr. Donovan, the enterprising salesman who expressed a willingess to ‘‘prove all things,"‘‘ forsook the practice of law for the field of insurance . EXPECT NEW ROAD WILL MEAN BIG TOURIST TRADE Ltd., Toronto. In about the yvear 1869 there was established in Waterloo, Ont., the Mutual Life Assurance Company of Canada. With the advent of Christâ€" mas, 1926, this company, then apâ€" proaching its sixtieth year, created a bright and solid record in paying the way for protecting Mr. Hatch‘s comâ€" pany against any loss that might be entailed in the event of the Presiâ€" dent‘s death at a crucial stage in the progress of the recently incorporated distillery firm. No one may be able to say what living man in ‘Canada carries the largâ€" est life insurance, but it can be stated accurately that a recent policy issued by the Mutual Life of Canada is the largest individual life insurance poliâ€" ecy ever written in Canada. The Mutual Life Assurance Comâ€" pany of Canada, with general headâ€" quarters at Waterloo, in the Province of Ontario, attained this distinct reâ€" cord. . The policy was for $1,000,000 on the life of H. C. Hatch, President of Hiram Walker‘s Ltd., of Walkerâ€" ville, Ont., and Gooderham Worts, Ltd., Toronto.
