However it would seem that another method, other than surgery or medicine, is now helping a number of cases of hard of hearing where the trouble is caused by catarrh of the little tube (eustachian) which carries the air from the back of the throat to the middle ear in order to keep the air pressure equal on the inside and outside of the drum.

In 1872 Archibald McKellar discovâ€" ered gold at Partridge Lake, and in 1873 Donald McKellar founrd gold at Victoria The next discovery of gold in notable quantity in Ontario was made by Peter McKellar, one of fourt prospecting broâ€" thers well known in their day. In 1871 Peter McKellar, following up a clue givâ€" en to him by an Irdian, found gold near Jackfish Lake. This discovery has had a curious history, first having been known as the Huronian mine, later as the Moss and more recently as the Ardeen. Under the latter two names the property has been in production, but not profitably. Back as early as 1883 a stamp mill was put on the property and recoveries of $21 per ton were reâ€" ported. Success was not achieved even in the early days due to transportation difficulties. In the followirg year ‘there was a considerable gold rush into this area, with a daily coach service from Belleâ€" ville to Madoc, and other lines running from Brighton and Trenton. So much excitement developed that the governâ€" ment was obliged to provide a squad of mounted police. Several other discovâ€" eries were mads, but the excitement lapsed due to failure to find commercial deposits. | The first real discovery of gold in Ontario made in 1866 on the Richâ€" ardson farm near Madoc, County of Hastings. This find was well authentiâ€" cated by the authorities of that day. The metal occurred in small flakes and scales of gold, in a reddishâ€"brown ferâ€" ruginous earth which occurred in the cracks of the rocks. The discqvery obâ€" viously was one of remarkable richness but of no particular commercial imâ€" portance. No less an authority than Thos. W. Gibson, former Deputy Minister of Mines for Ontario, has settled the quesâ€" tion in his recerntly published memorial, "Mining in Ontario‘‘. He opens the disâ€" cussion by a reference to an old reâ€" cord which relates that Jacques Cartier, returning from one of his exploratory trips to Canada, brought back to the King of France a sample of fine gold, csonsisting of "ten or twelve stones shaped like small goose quills", which was reported to have come from‘ the mythical city of Saganna. Mr. Gibson says that the city of Saganna places a heavy tax on our credulity, particuâ€" larly as the statement is made in the old report that "there were men who fly having wings on their arms like bats although they flew but little, from the ground to the tree and from the tree to the ground." Possibly M. Cartier was previsioning the aerial activities of cur Northern prospecting flyers. (From Northern Miner‘s Annuai Number.) i The question has often been asked as to where gold was first discovered in Canada Aand, in particular, Ontario. Indians Had Gold in Days of Cartier Ontario‘s Initial Finds were in Madoc, Says Deputy Minister of Mines. a serious affair, so much so that it nearly brought about an armed clash ‘between the authoritiee of ‘the two provinces. It was not until 1898 that the Privy Council decided the dispute in favour of Ontario and, more imâ€" portant still, confirmed the right of the province to the ownership of the lard, timber and minerals in the conâ€" tested territory. During the period of uncertainty as to title there was very little incentive to prospect these areas, although many discoveries of gold had been made. Beginning about 1900 a The prospecting scene shifted from the Eastern townships of Ontario to the North with the discovery of the rich Cobalt silver ores. However, prior to that, in the nineties of last century, considerable prospecting had been done in the neighborhood of the Lake of the Woods, on the Seine River. The develâ€" opment of this region had been delayâ€" ed, due to a dispute between the Domâ€" inion and Ontario governments, both before and after the settlement of the boundaries of the province to the west and north. The boundary dispute beâ€" tween Manitocba and Ontario was quite cury on the amalgamation plates and attempts to overcome the difficulty were seldom successful. Mining and metalâ€" lurgical methods were crude ard there were heavy losses of gold in the tailings. Capital, although not altogether lackâ€" ing, was scarce. Another contributing factor was the failure of any particular mine to show a spectacular result to encourage the others. Interest waned, and finally died. the field lay idle, due to a number of causes. Many of the mines contained mispickel in the ores, and the treatment of arsenical ores was not fully underâ€" stood. The arsenic "sickened" the merâ€" Eastern Ontario Rush Gold finds were made in Eastern Ontaric, in the counties of Hastings, Addington and Frontenac. The two most imp:ortant mines were the Cordova and the Deloro, the former located in 1890 and the latter opened up in 1898. On the Cordova a 30â€"stamp mill was erected and the mine was intermittentâ€" ly worked until 1903; it was reopened in 1911, but the plant was destroyed by fire in 1917. This property had a total production of gold values of $334,422. The Deloro mine, in Marmora township, was operated by an English company from 1889 to 1903 for a total production of $310,833, the average recovery in gold and arsenic beirg $8.43. Many other mines were opened, a number of them were small producers. These inâ€" cluded the Gilmour, the Fiegle, Star of the East, the Craig, the Big Dipper, the Boerth and the Bannockburn. Until the recent revision of the price of gold It is curious to note that one of the first discoveries made in the Sudbury area was staked for gold. The Vermilion nickelâ€"copper mine, found in 1887 upon Henry Ranger, was first looked upon as a gold prospect, due to a rich disâ€" closure in which gold was so thickly disseminated that it held the quartz fragments together after they had been fractured by a hammer. Several thouâ€" sand dollars‘ worth of gold was reâ€" covered before sinking revealed its true character, that of a nickelâ€"copper deâ€" Cape, Lake Superior. Gold was found in the Lake of the Woods area in 1878. None of these finds turned out to be commercially important.

Later there followed the opening up of the Kirkland Lake camp.â€" Subsequent dsvelopment, in Little Long Lac, Matachewan and other areas, are well known. Farther north a discovery was made in 1915, near Kowkash, and this proâ€" perty is no producing under the name of Tashota,. One of the earliest proâ€" ducers in this region was the St. Anâ€" thony, which has been shut down for a couple of years but is now revived. Another property of some apparent merit was the Hammond Reef, which had an immense body of quartz and on which a 40â€"stamp mill was erected. The Sawbill mine nearby also had a stamp mill, which began work in 1897 and stopped in 1889. The Empress mine on Jackfish Bay, Lake Superior, treated a small quantity of gold, but ocperations ceased in 1899 to later receive unsucâ€" cessful development. number of shafts were sunk and many gold mills were erected. That was the day of the stamp mill, and it is notâ€" able in the light of subsequent develâ€" opments that the operators of these properties used very pure judgment in installing plants before adequate develâ€" opment of the deposits had been comâ€" pleted. The chief mines developed to the producirg stage in the Lake of the Wods country were Sultana, Mikado. Regina and Horseshoe (now the Kenâ€" land). The Sultana is credited with the production of $700,00 to $1,000,000, the Mikado with $500,000, and the Horseshoe with $750,000. At the present time, by reason of the high price of gold many of the old prospects have been revived, among them the Three Ladies, which is now krown as Kenricia and which is being developed with a view to production. Wendigo is also proâ€" ducing, and such properties as Cedar Island, Champion, Big Master and Conâ€" cordia are or have recently been reâ€" ceiving attention.
