FLIN FLON JUNE I A chronicle of trial and error, perseverance and failure anfl a! large amount of luck makes up the story of Canada's latest frontier mining development. Flin Flon has been an obscure pin-point high up on the map of North America. To be exact it is about 400 miles northwest of Winnipeg and JM) miles from the nearest railroad poiui which fa The Pas. It is a lake and timber country Known only to trappers and onlp partially mapped. But Its name will appear in bigger type in the maps of the immediate future for $80,000,000 will be spent in the Flin Flon area and it is destined to take its place with Cobalt. Timrnirw, Rouyn. Sudbury and the other great mining communities of the Dominion. The new community is said to contain 18,000,000 tons of copper-zinc-gold-silver ore which the prosiector of a generation ago would have passed by as being of too low a grade. But It is modern scientific methods that have made the Flin Flon possible. The Canadian National Railways management has shown its complete confidence in the future of the Flin Flon by, building a 90-mile spur line into the district The present owners the Harry Payne Whitney interests of New York City are starting at once to build a huge smelter for the reduction of the low grade ores of the district and to take advantage of the water power of the area. A great new frontier community, is being created but it is the story of the finding of the Fiin Flon that is the most romantic part of all. t x ASSAY t3 , Si ISIlfiA DING '' ft i rouci' peetori?in I0l3fwefe Wre They?vere known as the Four Musketeers for their loyalty.

WORLD NICKEL FROM SUDBURY Ninety Percent of Production of This Metal Comex From Canadian .Mines TOriONTO, Dec. 21.

Operations stopped after nearly $350,000 had been spent. An American firm about this time became interested and after taking an option in 1010 let the proposition drop. In 1920 the Mining Corporation of Canada appeared on the scene and commenced work. This was the beginning of the Flin Flon great undertaking which led to the purchase this year by the Whitney interests. The future now appears to be assured and an expenditure of $30,000,000 is to be made in the effort to secure new-found wealth of the hinterland. Unusual interest in the undertaking is being taken in Canada on account of the comparatively close proximity of the Hudson Bay Railway which is being built by Canada, Northeast from the Pas. The new Flin Flon spur will reaeli Northwest and the two make a great Y into the north countrv. found tn the province, Mr. Qlbson dealt with the discoveries in Nstthern Ontario. Cobalt, etc., and said that one of the greatest romance was the way in which the nickel .producers of Canada had recaptured a market tost to them when batUeehlps became unpopu-Isr. The scrapping of batUeehlps, with their nickel -steel armour, had cut the nickel market tn half, but through advertising and educating campaigns the induetry Is now marketing more nickel than It did during the war. Mr. Olbaon declared that Canadians cere lust mining on the fringe of the creat Pre-Cambrlsn Shield which formed the main part of Northern Ontario. Aa to gold.

Referring to the four ease of alleged criminal negligence on the docket, His Honor said: "Thla Is s type of offence which the auto has brought up. The time was when. Abe pedestrian had practically greater right on the road than anyoie else. While he has Juat as much rights now. it wotUd be awkward to argue the matter with the auto, so if he is wise he dodges. The auto has come to stay, and we must have a readjustment of the rights Of pedestrian and driver, so that the number of accidents may be reduced." Rev Canon W. P.
