composed 'the _ t t 'b 1ys d Eh p Y
,roads. During tthis year ;also there
arrived John Nilson, who built a
house and,tannery on- the harbor
fiat, this -being the •first •tannery in
the Huron Tract. Mr, Wilson, in
company,: with Jacob Cootner, Valen-
tine and '.Michael Fisher and • some
others,' were sent up from York in a
schooner at the expense of the Com-
pany. These ',were all Yonee street
.men. Before the establishment of: a
post office William Reid used to make
.semi-monthly trips to'' 'Guelph • to
bring the.letters for the Coupany's
<:agents, :and any settlers who were
so fortunate as to" receive letters
mere charged extra for their 'carriage
from Guelph.
Of course during this time the . new
' settlers' were obliged to endure the
bardships and privations `incident to
pioneer. life—hardships which are too
well unceistood to require a recital
dere ; `bat, they were undertaken and
borne wi'tdi a patience and petsever-
ence which soon began to beat fruit
in the shape of substantial comforts
Audi as unremitting toil can produce.
The Canada Company erected some
elxeap buildings—which should be cal-
led sheds -near the. harbor for the ac-
" \ commodatioit and shelter of settlers
until they could erect houses for
themselves ; and in these sheds Wil-
''•1ia111...Jecfd- fitted 'np the first tavern
or public house with which Cioderich
was blessed. We say blessed, be
cause in those days the benefit of
the accommodation offered by such
houses outweighed the baneful in-
fluence: of the liquor that was sold.
:About. this time W. F: Gooding, lie -
tore referred to as the first ' white
settler and' trader, was joined in Lite
merrantile enterprise by his brothf
ers, Jasper end Edwin R. ;' and soon
after Benjamin Hale' arrived and
opened the second store in the place.
In 1812,George Fraser arrived, in
: company with the Study family,
William Rutledge and wite and An-
drew Whitely and family. They had
driven in front FTamilLon where the
night before they left the father of
the Sturdy brothers, whose names
;were John and Christopher, died in
the hospital. So with their mother
and brothers-in-law, Rutledge and
Whitely; thea\proceeded onward to.
item new 'home in the' woods. The
next_ year the Canada Company built
the steamer 3lenesetung—whose name
was changed a wear later to the.
Goderich, at this- point, and ('apt.
R. G. Dunlop, who -arrived the sante
year, was gi'en command of the
•craTt. During %the balance of that
year arra the next she- plied between
aodericb and tate portst on Lakes
Erie and Ontario, but during the ace -
eon of 18311 she was imprisoned in
Godericlt harbor, being unable to pass
ottt over the bar at the mou th or
' the river. '
In 1833 the settlement gave great
promise of. future rapid clevelopment

{,, ;sreafter rapidly settled while God-
erich, constituting as it did theabase

THE SAL, r. INTEREST.'
it was the, discovery of sal t with-
in her limits in .1.866 which elevated
Cloderich from the ranks of common-
place country towns and raised It to
a commercial prominence which, al-
though for a,,time highly satisfact-
ory. to the friends of the town, lat-
er 'deserted it to a considerable. ex-
tent, for reasons which shall he here-
after. explained. The history of the
discovery of this staple. and the deve-
lopment of the intercet is but an-
other demonstration of the beneficial
commercial results which sometimes
spring from pure abcidcnt.' The one
individual to whose pluck, prosever-
once and energy the discovery oi.salt`
ab •C oderioh is attributable is Mr.
Samtel..•F1att and the history of the
enterprise 1s pretty mucic as follow ;
In 1866 when the oil excite-
ment was at its Height in wes-
tern . Canada and speculators
were sinking wt11s .in various parts
of the western peninsula ill hopes of
being able to "strike ile" at compesty
was forined atGoderiOh' with the
same, laudable ob,lect in view. The
company, in which Mr. Platt was. a
leading spirit, had, $10,000 capiNei 'sub-
scribed" and commenced boQring' in the
north Hank of the '11I'aitlatid ,just east
of the large bridge, after boring to
a' depth -of 700 feet mostly through
a $cries of layers of harder or soft-
er greyish limestone and with no. en
cnuragement in the form of oil, the
shareholders determined to abandon.
the apparently melees task and ap-
peals of Mr, Platt, who had taken
the aontraet for boring, failed of the.'
desired enact of causing theta to re
coneider tiicir determination of alien -
dotting and they refused to -pay any
fortber calls upon their stock. In
the meantime the County. Council had'
offered a bonus of $1000 if they
would bore `to• a; depth of 1;000 feet,'
,and with the double object of finding
oil and obtaining :the $1.000 led Mr.
Platt to continue boring at his orvn
expense. The subsequent discovetiea
ampfd rewarded his well directed of-•
forts, for at a depth of 940 feet
from the surface he' discovered, nota,
oil, the objaet of his. search, but a

be expected, the success of the pion-
eer well induced the speedy con-

sinking' of other wells. and during the
next • Schauer the valley of the Mait•

land was dotted. with derricks from
above the bridge almost to its
mouth, Front this time forward the
salt interest at Codericit assumed
gigantic proportions and about the
year 1872 tate following blocks with
the enumerated capacity in barrels per
day, were in full blast: "The God-

'was the pioneer well) "Maitland"

Platt had meanwhile severed his con -
000110n with the "Goderich" well and
constructed works of his own, .About
this time a very brisk competition
sprang .up between the manufacturers
of Goderfch and 'those of. Sealorth
and Clinton, at which latter places
fully a .s good brine had been discov-

to the cheaper price- of fuel at those
