ROGERS VISITS
SILVER NINE
DESCRIBES HOW FORT UNES
HAVE BEEN MADE WITHOUT
MUCH EFFORT.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

W. " rogers OF CnlS city, returned a
few days ago from visiting the new sill
yer mining region of Temiskaming
Lake, Ontario, Canada, and found it of
exceptional interest. In an interview
he gives the following:
'"The silver deposits which are Great
ing so much excitement and making
new millionaires by the score, is locat-
ed on the west shore of Lake Temiskae
ming, 175 miles north of North Bay.
The discovery was made some three
years ago by man named La Rose,
who was blacksmith for A. l.. Nc
Donald, who has the contract for tn
construction of the Temiskaming &
Northern Ontario Railway, which is
being built from North Bay to Hudson
Bay. In making a railroad cut the sill
yer ores were unearthed and La Rose
believing such bright and heavy ores
must have some value sent samples
to School of Mines at Montreal. The re-
ports returned gave rich silver values
and an expert was sent to look over
the ground. He, however, gave it as
his opinion that the deposit amounted
to but little and was not worthy of any
consideration. Other experts visited
the region and all gave but small en-
couragement to prospectorS.
For this reason but little work was
done for Is months, although car loads
of very rich ores were lying on top of
the ground worth hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars.
Valuable Ore.
Claims were staked by prospectors
and Indians, proved up and small
shipments made to smelters and the re-
turns were beyond precedent. Car lots
worth $130,000 have been marketed
and hardly car has been shipped that
did not have values of some $50, 900. The
Nippissing Silver Mining Co., was Or
ganiZed and secured some 800 acres of
the best territory. This is the largest
acreage held by any concern in the dis
trict and far the most valuable. Some
49 veins of silver ores have been found on
this property, one having to inches
of pure native silver. They are now
shipping $9O0,O00 worth of ore per
month and have not gone into the de-
pOsit to have an idea of its extent. They
have found one vein of five feet in
thickness running 40% silver, but
have not started mining it as yet.
This is the stock that has been Great
ing such furore on the stock market
for the past week, having dropped from
$35 to $15 in two days. The "scare" was
on account of the title to the lands but
the title is entirely good. Possibly after
the insiders get all the stock they want
the title will be good enough for any
body.
This is the greatest silver depositever
discovered. The veins are vertical and
have been proven to depth of $40 feet.
1t is poor mans camp as any man
who happened in at the discovery
could operate without capital. All he
had to do was to ship the pure silver
lying on top of the ground and he had
money in plenty. One man without
dollar, has made 100000 in the last
two years and owns one of the best
mines in the district The whole dis
trict is full of rich men who did not
have anything year ago and the re-
quirement of fortunes has not begun
yet.
Don't buy stocks unless you know
what you are getting. All good claims
can get the necessary cash to operate
without leaving the camp and "snow
claims" are being advertised all over
the land. Some of these are miles
away from the deposits and have no
better show than town lot in Bara-
boo.
