INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF
TRIP TO NEW ONTARIO
Mr. VanStone and Mr. T. R. Bennett Spend Week in Algoma.
• —Visiting Several Mines mid Enjoying Fresh Mr,
Venison, and the hospitality of
the Northerners.
Dear Editor: -
In
In response to your request I am writing
just a short account of our trip to Algoma
last week.
Mr. VanStone and I left Wingham by
C. P, R for West Toronto on Saturday
getting away from there on the Sudbury
Expressand travelling all night, we arriv-
ed in the mining town at daybreak Sunday
morning
On the way up we had for company
Mr. Lycett, head of the Employment De-
partment of the Algoma Steel Co„ who
was taking up 53 bricklayers from Mont-
real to work at the Soo He informed us
his company was willing to pay $1.10 per
hour for expert masons, Mr L O'Con-
nor, head of the Sudbury Iron Works, and
Mr Milligan, a prominent barrister of that
place, welcomed - us to their town. We
were advised by Mr Milligan to make a
trip to Copper Cliff, which we did by Elec
tric road. The return trip of nine miles
costs only 25 cents with a half hour ser.
Vice. Needless to remark that I am in
favour of electrifying all the railroads of
Ontario getting hydro power from the
rivers and wateriaiis instead of paying out
millions of dollars to the United States
for coal
At Copper Cliff we called on my cousin,
Dr John Bennett who took us out in bis
car showing us the International Nickel
Co's Smelter, the largest in the world.
This Company owns- the whole town
which is almost as large as Wingham.
We then visited the Hospital one of the
most modern Fireproof buildings in
America, with 49 rooms and- large - public
wards. 'Hardly a day elapses without an
accident, most of the patients suffering
from fractured limbs. We were shown an
X-ray machine said to be on of the most
costly manufactured. The Club house
was the next place 'visited. It contains a
large swimming pool, gymnasium, bowling
alley, pool tables, reading and rest rooms
library and banquet hall. We then .went
to see one of the mines of which there are
quite a number in the vicinity, the princi-
pal
one being the Creighton. Several of
the mines in Algoma are only a hole in
the ground with a windlass, and shed.
No doubt people are taking shares of
stock in these, but it looks as if they might
wait a while for dividends,
'The vegetation in the vicinity of Copper
Cliff is all killed even the trees left leaf-
less by the fames from the furnaces,
Returning to Sudbury we proceeded to
Thessalon, a nice little;town of about 1,800
inhabitants where we met quite a number
who were fo'rmer residents of Huron. The
jeweller Mr. Fleron is a .brother-in-Iaw of
M. J. McLean.
On Monday morning we motored to
Iron Bridge, 21 miles North East, This
village is on the Government- road from
Dean Lake into the lumber, woods. The
road is very good considering the fact
that 56 teams are constant,y teaming in
supplies and men to the camps, Most of
the laborers are foreigners and look quite
picturesque in their plaid Mackinaw suits
with knee pants.
We tramped through the woods nearly
all day and when ready to return to town
found the car broken down so it had to be
towed in a distance of seven miles and I
started outto walk to town, calling at the
home of Andrew Clark, who left Grey
township 31 years ago. His two boys,
Alex and John with whom I went to
school were both kilted about ten years
ago, one at Phoenix mine, and one at
Blind River by a file driver. On the ad.
joining farm I visited Thos. Hammill a
brother -in law of Mr Clarke, Mr. Ham.
mill was a former rr o '
estdent of Morrisbank.
Both of these families are quite comfort.
able and have stock and cropssimiliar to
those of farmers in old Ontario: Mr.
Hammill has a fine hock of 30 sheep and
Mr. VanStone remarked that in two days
in Algoma you could count more sheep
than you could in a month's travel
through Western Ontario. -
In the neighborhood of Iron Bridge
there are a great number of settlers who
came from down here Griggs from Mor-
ris, Leishman Warnocks, Jeffries, Sea-
brooks, Moores Doigs. Pattons, Beemers
and Marshall Breckenridge the latter
from Jamestown.
When about to leave Iron Bridge for
Thessalon the Jitney car hired by Mr
VanStone pulled across the street co get
gas and the chauffer raised a lantern to.
see the amount in the tank when the
whole outfit took fire, At the risk of our
lives we pushed the car away from the
tank into a snow drift beating out the
flames with old sacks and coats but not
before the cushions, seats and top were
completely burned off Well, W. F. had
to buy a new club -bag. -
Next day Mr. Grigg, the merchant's
son drove us to Dean Lake and we were
indeed gladto get back to the hospitality
of Mother McCartney at Thessalon
