_ Over Patmore Grow 1D. on

The Timmins interests have taken
up the Patmore group on Fiddler ereek
neat-Dorreen. ‘This is near the old
Knaus property on which a good deul
of work has been done in the past by
well known mining men like Dan ‘Wil
liams and Bill Noxrie, Some year or
two ago Bill Patmore, son of L. W.
Patmore, went in and took up *- the
fourteen. daims that make up the Pat-
more group, These are just. a. couple
of niles. farther up the creek than the
old Knaus property.

Till -Patmore is-a student of geology
aud he therefore knew what he was
about when he started ta work: He
opened ap a ‘good showing of gold ore
that created quite a stir around’ .that
section aa the assays showed an aver-
age of nn ounce of gold nnd it aypeaied
to the Timmins engineers when they
examined the showing.

‘A small crew of men are being put
tu work now amd when, they huve done

tion of big senle operations.

From the beginning of mining in the
north I, W, Patmove has- heen one of
the most ecosistent patrons ‘and be has

and not all of them Inve been success-
ful. The Patmore group, however, is
said to have a good deal of merit and

GOOD TIMES HAVE RETURNED

Svery city in Canadn is reporting a
big inerease in business. Calgary’ re-
ports a’ hundred per cent . since last
¥eir infsome Ines. As a rule - this].
part of the country Is a year behind
in its reactlons to prosperity and de-
pression. In. ‘928 and 1828 the east ‘got
hard hit, but up here the “depression
was not felt untik -1930. For o year
or more the enst™ has been ‘reporting
big increases in some lines of business |:
and a mot encourag|ng increae in all
lie. For 2 time t€ was hard for the
people here to believe those reports as
practically no improvement was felt
locally.

Today there is quite a different
story. A big pulp mill is to be. estah-
lished at Prince Rupert which will be
a year and a half in building and will
supply work .for hundreds of men
Tt is also said that when finished the
pulp mill will employ two thousand
men. That means a market for all
the fruit. vegetnbles, ment and dnity
produce that the interior can grow. *

At Terrace -there is under develop--
ment a gold property that is most,
promising and is now employing quite
a nunber. uf men. The crew will be
increased as. time goes on,’ Now comes
the announcement of a deal with the
Timinins people for the Patmore group
on Fiddler ‘ereek, That. means more.
work for -thase who can and will work -
There is a well founded report that by"
ithe middle of September the cedar pole
camps in this district will be reopening
with ‘goad sized orders_and. a’: better
