THE SILVER FIELD


 COBALT, Ont, Jan. 25.-Everyone conyersant with the situation in northern new Ontario has for several months been looking forward to the discovery and location of new mining camps. Men in the Cobalt camp have in the past frequently directed the at tention of the public to to the fact of navigation, put on a line of boats represented the Cobalt camp. Many men, usually well informed. were al- lowed for several weeks to have a misconception that the Nipissing peo- pie owned Cobalt The day for any such belief has long since passed. Canadians may sometimes be in- clined to think that Cobalt is north ern new Ontario. Such is not the case.
 The location of the new mining camps in the north land has now been definitely established. The Lady Eve lyn discoveries in the Temagami re- serve, commonly called ''the new Co- bait camp" are being brought prom inently forward these days.
 The Darby Brothers were the first to locate the veins of the new camp. They were followed by the White brothers, of Muskoka Falls; the Gii- lies brothers, owners of the celebrat. ed timber limits of that name; Atkin- son, Peter Ferguson, W. Chambers, W. B. Russell, Hubert Southworth, 4. M. Campbell, of the geological survey, Ottawa, Russell Cryderman.
 The mining camps of northern new Ontario have been particular forum ate in their location. Accessibility is one of the prime desiderata for min ing camps. New Cobalt, while not having a railway, has a magnificent waterway entrance. A haulage of four miles will give the mines of this district first class transportation fa- cilities. The new camp is located about four miles northwest Of Sucker Gut, which is an arm or extension of Lady Evelyn. and MT. Dan O'Connor, of Temagami, will, with the opening Of navigation, put on line of boats to run from Sucker Gut to Mattawa- pika Falls. Here there will for A time be a haul of about 75 yards, but a lock will be built to permit the boats to make the drop of 25 feet. which means a clear waterway to Latchford, with the possible excer- ton of Port Rapids, which has also been surveyed with the purpose of putting in locks. Steamers can now run down Port Rapids.
 Settlement in all new farming coun- tries in this rapid age follows in stead of precedes the entrance of railways, bat 1t Is rare in the history of mining camps that first class trans portation facilities are afforded from their very inception. Already there is talk of an application being made to the Temiskanling and Northern On tario railway commission for the building of a spur line from some point near Clllies station Into tho new camp.
 The Toronto capitalists have lost no time in invading the new camp. Already a deal of considerable magni- lu6e has been closed by a syndicate headed by Barrister Charles Scott, and they have acquired control of the Darby properties, having paid s60, 900 for the same.
 The mineral formation of the new camp closely resembles that of Co bait district. Several veins that have been located on the various proper ties carrying high silver values. Mir. D. O'Connor, of Temagami, who is staying at the King Edward this week, is very enthusiastic over the possibility of the new camp and says of the claims staked there:
