DONALD. to the district, with Very gratifying results. Judge Harding is an old prospector himself, and his knovfledge of,such matters is wide and reliable. He knows the mineral question that oughly, and his judgment in such ' o be fully relied on. Mr. Jordan also has had much experience in this line, and the Messrs. Grant could not have chosen two better men for their purpose, because they had the goods to deliver and all that was needed was reliable and experi- enced men to appreciate this fact. A Rich Find Indeed. - Judge Harding and Mrl Jordan found that there were eight different claims secured by the Grants in *the Wahnapitae Lakedistrict. The prin- cipal finds were in the line of gold and copper: The samples taken gave assaysroi $55.00 to the ton in copper and $15.50 per ton in gold on some of the claims. V , 7‘â€" --.-;I Mr. J. D. Grant, of New Ontario, was in town last week and when a Free _Press‘represelitative happened to enter into conversation with him some very intgeresting information was forth- coming. Mr. Grant and his father, Mr. D. A. Grant, are old prOspectors, who have spent much of their lives in the mining regions of the north. For some time past the Messrs. Grant haVe been prospecting in New On- tario. and recently they have struck some very rich (laims. ’ Near Wahnapitae Lake. Prospecting in the vicinity of Wah- napitae Lake, Mr. Grant told the Free Press, they came. across some property that promised much in the way oi cer- tain minerals. Closer investigation only confirmed first prospects and the property was re ularly staked out and patents applie for. After these were secured it was necessary to interest so that the work of developing others ght be proceeded with. the prospects mi Lindsay Men Interested. The Messrs. Grant took samples of their finds, had assays made. and the other’ usual preparatory measures. Then they came to Lindsay and inter- viewed Judge Harding and Mr. Geo. A. Jordan, both of whom they knew as being well versed in such matters. A Trip to the Di.-trict. After viewing the samples and con- sidering the story told by Mr. Grant, Judge Harding and Mr. Jordan de- cided that the claims were interesting tosay the least and so they concluded -__‘__ 8A..

Mr. Jordan Interviewed. The Free Press, after seexng Mr. Grant, called on Mr. Geo. A. Jordan. The first question fired at the head of Lindsay's popular reeve was: “Why did you keep this interesting infor- mation so quiet.” “That's easy to answer," replied Mr. Jordan. “The matter was not 211 shape to discuss," continued Mr. Jor- dan. “We wanted to have everything right before we gave out anything for publication. There’s no use talking untiI you know exactly what you're talking about. and ilntil you have everything in proper shape." Mr. Jordan corroborated all that Mr. Grant had saidh‘and concluded with the words, “I have never seen Wider veins and better showing in all my life than shovm in these New Ontafio properpies.” wide. A special feature about the veins is the fact that they are well and distinctly defined. 0n assays further down, taken at five feet, gold makes $14.00 per ton and copper 45 cent., so the district shows a aloe run of mineral richness. Local Men Well Pleased. Judge Harding‘ and Mr. Jordan re- turned from their trip well pleased with what they had seen. Then other Lindsay citizens were interested, Messrs. O'Loughlin and McIntyre be~ ing among, thOse impressed with the good prospects of the rich find. “Judge Harding told us," said Mr. Grant to the Free Press, “that in all his experience, (which I know to be I: is very aggravating and very dis- heartening to try and bring new fac- tories here and encourage the old ones to extend in the face of such things as this. I have been directed by the Presi- dent of the Board of Trade to call the attention of the citizens to this mat- ter in this way and trust that it will be the means of bringing the matter to some kind of a decent solution. I remain, sir, yours truly. _--_.--\ not right in this I am willing to be corrected. If it is law that unit is the case I would certainly dub it very bad law, but I not-believe that it is law, and I do not believe that the Company can carry out their threat. ~They have a franchise from this town” and they cannot refuse anybody either light, heat or power if they want to ‘pay for it, and it seems to me that if the citizens of this- town want the town to progress by adding p0 ulation, and population can only added by new factories or the exten- sion of old ones. it would seem only natural that the Light, Heat Pow- er Co. should do the square thing and allow ,a man to use what he has paid for, in any way that he likes and not try'to bluff him into giving them more money than they have a right to get. - ‘- Man-:0 FOR TWELVE yams.
