A special article WFritten to the Otâ€" tawa Journal saysâ€"*‘*‘Evidence of the changed status of Cobalt with regard to the mining industry is shown by the announcement that a number of citizens of the camp, most of them residents for a considerable period, are preparing to leave Cobalt to take up their homes in Toronto.

Oldâ€"time prosâ€" pectors, however, say that it will be a week or two yet before very much can be done in the way of prospectâ€" ing, on account of weather conditions. There is snow yet in the bush, toâ€" gether with the certainty of lots of slush for some days, and travel through the bush will be of no esâ€" pecial charm or use for prospectors. Snow still covers most of the wooded areas, according to information from those in position to know, and the lakes are still full of ice without posâ€" sibility of travel.
