Poisonous black flies nlmost invlsiblo because of their small ness buzzed nil tho day. At night tho black flies laid off and tho mosquitoes enme on.

Nobody but geologists mako tho state ment with confidence. Thoy say theso moun tains were tho oldest mountains on tho conti nent; thnt they wero old when tho Rockies wero yet unformed; that tho glacial drift and tho dis integrating effects of untold millions of years of heat and cold have worn them away until only the "roots" remain; nnd thoy point to tho roots as proof of their theory. Tho roots are there. Anybody can sco them. Bomo of them nro below tho surface, somo nxo abovo Over most of tho roots nro a few feot of earth, but, hero and there, a hugo shouldor of rock thrusts itself nbovo tho surface; hero nnd thcro n great ledgo plows Its wny through tho forests nnd then disappears In tho marsh; and nowhere can ono dig far without coming to rock. A singular Incident explains, perhaps, why these mountain roots wero not permitted to ro nialn untouched for another hundred million years. Tho Incident had its Inspiration in poll tics. Tho Ontario government felt that It wns losing strength with tho farmers. WIbo men In tho ministry looked around to seo what could bo done. Tho fnrmers In tho "clay belt" had been clamoring for a railroad. Tho ministry decided that It would bo good politics to grYa it to them. So it was decided to build n rallrond from North bay, on tho shores of Lake Nlplsslug, to connect with tho gient transcontinental lino, under con struction farther north. t was while this railroad was building that Fred La Itoso, n member of tho construction gang, blasted his way Into nn old mountain root, Klrnt I July 1 low very happy tho brldegioom lonkx!

Qcorgo Hannormnn, how over, appears to bo the Columbus of tho occasion. Dan ncrman, an old prospector, In July, 1909, scraped tho mosB from n bit of tho surfneo of a projecting rock and saw wet flakeB of shining gold star ing up at him fiom tho quarts. But tho first pteat discov ery waB made by n gang of prospec tors lieadod by Jnck Wilson. Wil son, or ono of his subordinates-no two reports on this point aro alike found tho great Domo thnt bears Wilson's namo. Tho "Domo" Is , a rldgo of rock, 550 feet long, 40 to 80 feet wldo, 20 to 30 feet abovo ground, and no ono yet knowB how deep, that is heavily laden with gold. Pull tho moss from It anywhere nnd thcro 1b gold. Nothing In tho history of gold mining bettor Illustrates tllo cccenrrlcltlcs of gold miners than tho discovery of tho "Dome." Tho discovering party consisted of threo men, headed by Jack Wilson. Tho expedition was financed by a Chi cago mnn named Edwards, who was engaged In tho manufacture of lighting fixtures. Edwnrds was to put up all tho money In return for a half Interest in anything that might bo discov ered. Wilson was to havo n quarter Interest and each of the other two an eighth. For several weeks they prospected, first to tho east of Porcuplno lake, in Whitney township, then to tho west, in Tlsdalo township. Thoy found gold nnd stnked somo claims. Dut tho great "Domo," although thoy enmped, somo of tho time, within sight of It, nlmost escaped them. It wns finally discovered, nccordlng to tho story that Is generally belloved, only becauso ono of Wil son's subordinates stumbled ncross It. Ho was not a miner, know nothing about geology, but did know enough to scrapo off moss. Also, ho hnd eyes. When tho mosa wns" off ho could not help seeing tho gold. Tho great rldgo that was henco forth to be known ns tho "Wilson Domo" had been found. Stakes wero driven and clnlm laid to tho hugo boulder. Perhaps tho most remarkablo story, however, mado himself rich, mndo Cobalt, mado more- than that has como out of tho Porcuplno was told by a a 6coro of multimillionaires and caused Canada, prospector named "11111" Woodnoy. which hnd produced almost no silver, to produco a mining man whom 1 bellevo to bo rellnblo told 12 per cent, of tho world's output. Two men, In mo that mil camo to him ono day and showed him Blx dnya, trundled out 557,000 worth of silver ft remnrknbly rich piece of gold quartz, nt tho with n wheelbarrow. As an Indirect result Sud- 8nmo tlmo usktng him whero ho supposed It enmo bury beenme tho world's chief producor of nickel, from. All of which seemed to bo against tho rules "Not from anywhere In Canada," was the reply, i mado. nnd provided by nature Canada had never "I thought you would say that," was tho corn been known na n silver country. Near Cobalt ment, "but you are wrong." thcro wna nothing on tho surfneo to Indicate that Then "Dill" told his story, silver might bo nenr. Dut no eyo had Been below ne Baid tho quartz was given to him by a widow, tho surface. No mind had dreamed of tho gold ijer htiBband had been accidentally killed a short and silver filled roots of worn-off mountains. An tlmo beforo Bho gavo it to him.

Not until tho causo such registration would havo been a notlflca- summer of 1909 did prospectors push 250 miles tlon to tho world thnt they had found gold In tho northward, to tho region of Porcuplno lako. region. Winter wns near when tho dlscovory was There 1b about as much uncortajnty with r- mado and thoy wanted to roturn in tho spring, prospect tho country thoroughly and stnko out ev erything In sight. During tho following winter tho husband of tho I womnn who waB so soon to becomo n widow was i seriously Injured in a mill. In a few days he ' realized that death was near. Ho sent for tho two ' prospectors who had accompanied him to Lako i Abltlbl. Thoy camo. i "Doys," said ho, "I gncss I've got to die. I can't I go back with you In tho Bprlng to stnko tho claims. I I want you to promlso mo that if I dio you will glvo tho old woman n third of what wo found last yonr." Tho men promised. Tho wife heard them. Dut sho didn't bellovo them. Tho widow hnd told Dill who tho men wero. Ho know them. Ho knew whero they wero work ing. Dill hired out In tho snmo plnco. In tho courso 01 a f iw weeks ono of them told hlra that thoy woro going n quit nt a certain tlmo In tho spring and tnko a loi.s ennoo and hunting trip In tho country far to tho north. Thnt was good enough clow for Dill. Two weeks before tho ni.nounced tlmo for tho men to stnrt I Woodnoy quit his Job, packed his kit and started for Lnku Abltlbl hlmBelf. I When ho renched tho lako ho drew his canoe ' from tho water, hid It In tho "bush," na Canadians . cnll a forest, and prcpnred to wait. I On tho eighth day of his vigil, as ho waB peering out of tho bushes, ho saw tho sight that ho had waited so long to seo. Down tho placid river came two canoes, cutting their wnys through tho cool waters and lenving (Iatiron wakes in the rear. Lato in tho afternoon Dill saw tho two specks disappear In what seemed to bo nn Inlet. Tho first night thero was no fire, but tho next , day Dill saw a bluo spiral of Bmoke curling from the bushes back of tho lake. For five dayB and nights tho fires burned. Then thero was no moro fire, day or night. Evidently tho ( men had gone. Dill wnnted to bo Biiro, so ho waited , threo moro dayB. Than ho went down to tho lnka whero his canoo wns hidden, put It Into tho water, ' took pains to observe that thcro was on tho lako no sign of human lifo, thon Blowly paddled his wny j along tho shore, looking for tho Inlet. Dill was paddling as quietly as ho could when, at tho "knucklo" of tho water finger a point whore tho Inlet wnn not moro thnn 60 feet wide ho sud denly saw on tho left bank tho two prospectors! Tho next lnstnnt ono of them threw an ax at Dill's canoo that nil but cut it In two and sunk It nB quick-1 ly ns n mine could sink a battleship. I Woodnoy doesn't know yet why ho Is nllvo. Ho ' seemed to havo no chanco to live. It was twr i against ono nnd tho ono wns In tho water. So were I his food, his weapons nnd his tools. If ho wero not murdered during tho next flccond It scorned certain that ho. would atarvo during tho next month. Not thnt ho thought out nil of theso things while ho was ' sinking. Ho thought out nothing. All ho did was to ' net first and think afterward. A fow strokes with t his hands nnd n fow kicks with his foot put him ngnlnst tho bank. No rabbit over took a trail faster ' than Dill took to tho brush. Tho rest of this Btory can bo told In short sen fences. Hunger, within the next forty-eight hours drove Woodnoy Into tho very camp of the men who would havo Blaln him. Ho crept up to them lato at night, and stolo their food. Ho could not stcnl much at n time, but ho Btole enough to keor him alive. Ho stolo, not once, but threo times. The , next tlmo ho went to steal they woro not thore Thoy had pulled up camp and gono, bag nnd bag gago. Ho took his life In his hnnds tho noxt day and went down to boo tho claims thoy hnd staked Ho didn't find a stick or a r.lgn of n claim 1I( couldn't even find anything himself that seemed worth claiming. Tho prospectors never roturncd. Whether tho woro upact nnd drowned In ono of tho many rap Ids; whether thoy fell to fighting nnd killed' eiicl other, no one knowa.
