Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Ry.—One half mile of track between mileposts 60 and 60 1/2 represents the total additional track laid during 1910, but a second track was laid between Cobalt and North Cobalt, Ont., five miles. The contractor was A. J. McGar. A branch from Iroquois Falls, near Matheson, into the Porcupine country, 32 miles is under construction. In a recent interview the Ontario Minister of Public Works, said the steel will be laid to Frederick House by the end of March, and it is expected to reach the Mettagami River by the end of the year. If the developments west of that point warrant, a bridge will be built across the river and the line continued to Godfrey.

Montréal press reports that the G.T.R. or the G.T. Pacific Ry. is negotiating with the Ontario Government for a lease of the line are denied by the Premier of Ontario, and the Chairman of the T. and N.O. Ry. Commission, but it is said that the G.T.R. wishes to secure running rights over it.

The Chairman of the Commission stated Jan. 13 that about eight miles of the right of way of the Porcupine branch had been cleared, that there had been 2.5 miles of grading done, and that about 22 miles of the right of way had been marked out. (Jan., pg. 23.)
