'At the present time the bulk of the shipments go via Montreal. Winnipeg is 600 miles near- 'er to Port Nelson than to Montreal, whereas for all points to the north and west of Winnipeg--and this in- "cliides almost the entire fertile belt-- the distance in favor of Port Nelson 'i8 greater, It is estimated that the Hudson Bay route will mean an aver- age shortening of a thousand miles be- tween the wheat fields and Liverpool. In other words, wheat can be landed at Nelson as cheaply as at Fort Wil- Ham. 3 But the present significance to Can- «ada of the Hudson Bay railroad lies not in its attractions as a grain cac- vier through Canada's far northern territory tacked on to, best suited to become the termini of northwest, in 1913. A sraall rush lowed. Then, in August, 1914, indications-of the precious | found at He! e, and only the oul break of the war killed what would i; have been a genuine "boom. In the summer of 1915 Flin-Flon was dis- covered with an ore body which bas been proved up to a depth of 900 feet, showing a tonnage of between sixteen and twenty tons of sulphite of copper, the values being: Gold, .077 ounce per| | ton; silver, 1.09 ounces per ton; cop- per, 1.66 per cent., and zinc, 3.68 per cent. A iif Followed * the: discovery of th Mandy Mine, at Schist, Lake, which ha$ already produced 26,000 tons: of high grade copper ore. Other claims of importance have been opened among the little lakes that dot the dis- trict, and the last word has by no means been said on the mineral pos. sibilities of New Manitoba. The gov- ernment has announced its intention of building the necessary branch rail- road lines into the mine district just as it reached out to join Porcupine to the Temiskaming and Northern On- tario in the other case. The Hudson Bay Company has long maintained posts at the mouths of all the chief rivers, but Churchill and Nelson, beihg available. for large ocean steamshipspare the two ports railways leading to the settled parts of Canada.
