PORCUPINE SHOWS
Splendid GROWTH
in The PAST YARE
=. II. HEINIER, MINING EXPERT
PREDICTS BIG FUTURE
FOR DISTRICT.

NEW YORK, May 15.-"By the
end of the present summer" said
P. ii. Heimer, a mining engineer
who has been living in the Porcu-
pine section of Canada for the past
year" said yesterday in New York,
there will be at least 900 men

for over a year and nearly all of
secured options on a year ago run
ming in prices from $4,000 to $685.
coo, are now on the market at
from 100000 to 100000. The
.cction is anything but poor man S
camp, and the prices for properties
la Tisdale are beyond the reach
of anyone, except big capital. The
result of these prices is tending to
shift the prospecting into Deloro,
and | expect a great deal of activ-
ity this summer will be witnessed
in this section of Ontario, as early
indications point to the opening up
| of good ore in this township.

Il feel satisfied in saying that
Porcupine is going to be just as
much of a freak camp from the
standpoint of ore dispositions as
Cobalt was to the silver fraternity
five years ago. The entire country
seems to be network and sys
TEN of veins wherein values are
possible in almost any portion Of
the ground, and it takes but very
little prospecting to find colors i

THE English have sized up thi!
country quicker than any one else
as they are generally conceded t.
be particularly qualified to pass OF
gold mining proposition. They hav,
always gone into mines of thi
kind in preference to any other
and Judging from their remarks o
Porcupine, it would seem as if
gold camp greater than any here
tofore know is being made read
to show sensational results as sool
as adequate transportation facili
ties are offered the camp. Their
is no question for the moment bu
what the railroad will be swampet
from the first day they try to han
die the traffic into Porcupine. Por
cupine is not a mining camp o
a few miles dimension, but tn
discoveries range over an area o
6 to Is miles.
At Least1 :, 900 Men in Camp.
Il believe that when | say tina
there will be $4,000 men workin
the properties here in July, | al
conservative, as there are lots @
companies that will not do an
work until the railroad gets int
the district. Supplies are high.
