We had to pole it all the way and dragged the canoes five or six times. Some canoes were damaged. "May 15thâ€"We could not get started before sunrise owing to the amount of portaging we had to do in cold water. Having made three portages we camped one league higher than the first. One of cur cances was broken in pieces, I got into the canos of the captain of guides and Indian who knew the way perfectly. I hired him at Mattawan. ‘"‘May 16thâ€"We were camped eight leagues from Mattawan. The way is very bad. "May 13thâ€"It snowed and rained all day. Monsier d‘Hyberville arrived and told me he had waited uselessly for two days for the canoes I had sent him. I was very suspicious of the Indians. I got a cross erected on the point of the Fork." *"‘"May 12thâ€"We reasched ‘Mattawan‘ which signifies in Indian ‘Fork of the Rivers‘ one being to the southwest (now the Mattawa River) and the other the Ottawa, to the north. It had snowed in the morning but the evenâ€" ing was fine. "Details of the French explorer‘s trip include his arrival at Mattawa and the difficulty of forcing his way up the rapids and falls of the Ottawa to the big lake, he says: day it occurred to him to have the sample assayed; the result was interâ€" esting. About 1870 Mr. Wright interâ€" ested two other men and they came to the site of tne discovery, sunk a pit and removed about ten tons of ore. A secâ€" cnd shipment was later put on a raft which was broken up in Deux Rivieres Rapids. Fiiteen years elapsed without action. In 1885 George Goodwin and G. P. Brophy financed the sinking of a shaft to 60 feet and the installation of some machinery, including a small mill. This plant was burned. In 1890 Robert Chapin, of the Ingersoll Rock Drill Company, bought the property and made an option payment. He deepâ€" ened the shaft, did considerable lateral work and accumulated quite a tonnage of concentrates from a 50â€"ton mill. The property later reverted to Wright who sold it to Petroleum Oil Trust of London in 1895. The shaft was again despened and lateral work removed a considerable tonnage of ore, which was put through the mill and concentrates shipped to Wales. The buildings erectâ€" ed by this company still stand.
