tario an inspection was.madc of
the silver end gold mining areas..
The rich gold mines of the Kirk -
Lake district proved to oe
a revelation to a great many of
the visitooe, vrhile one important
feature; which the engineers.
Were quick to observe vias that
these vastly rich deposits aro
merely a small spot on the edge:'
of a vast countrp in which tho.
discovery of mines in ljxuiti:plied
numbers is an, ultimate cer-
tainty. J
These men are schooled .to

of mineral' wealth possibilities,
and from remarks made it Is
clear that the unanimous opixi
ion has been reached that. the
mineral ,fields or Northern On-
tario are earinarl.cd as lik.My to
develop into possibly Lie richest
on -earth. Not alone are the
proved mines the guide in reach-
ing this conclusion, but rather
is it the enormous area of mil --
Eons of acres of similar bouetry
as yet untouched on which those
in search of opportunity are fie-
ing their gaze.'

opinion that, 'although the miles
