By 9 o'clock re- ports were received that the washouts had reached an extent of 1.90 feet, and . additional emergency crews were .run to the danger spot. 1 W ' E $TU101' 1 N Cr TriE."

In 1856 nickel was first re- ported •eported from the Sudbury re- gion, the discovery being made by A. P. Salter, a provincial land surveyor. Since 1856 there has been produced in the, Sudbury dis- trict nickel to the value of 9176,700,000, The maximum output was in 1918, when its, value was 937,002,917. At the close of the war, however, the demand for nickel almost ceas- ed, and the output declined to 96,752,571 in 1921.
