Itis said that he then started a lire in the wind fall. 586 THE CANADIAN MINING JOURNAL October L 1915 which swept it practically clean of all organic matterand left exposed, for about two feet, a four inch quartzvein. This portion of the vein was phenomenally of ore broken off weighing several ounces wereabout twenty-five per cent, native gold. Just after thediscovery, Dodds met Armstrong, a civil engineer,Pearce, an editor of a Toronto paper, and Powers, aprospector of Haileybury, returning from investigating and an average width of about 25 feet. From the rail-road to the point where it joins the river, is about fourmiles in length. Three miles down stream from theconfluence, Ruperts falls, a small rapids, is is easily run; but must be portaged or poledon the return. About two and a half miles further downstream the first outcrop of rock is seen on the right hankof the river. It is a green Keewatin chlorite schist,. Johnson Creek, National Transcontinental Railway a reported silver discovery in Northwestern made arrangements whereby Armstrong. Pearceand Powers staked around the Dodds discovery. Thenthe news got to the outside world, and soon scores ofcanoes and hundreds of prospectOKS hailing from allparts of America began to descend the stream from therailway to the scene of the discovery. showing abundant pyrite. striking nearly east and westand standing almost vertical, and having a slight dip tothe southeast. Occasional outcrops are seen along therest of the route to Howard falls, and are for the mostpart schistose derivatives of the medium acid Keewatinrocks, together with such massive basic rocks as , diorite. etc. Ten miles down stream from Ru-
