   "Northern Ontario was solely the preserve of prospectors, trappers and   
   native people in 1902 when the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway   
   began building from North Bay. When the line reached one hundred miles   
   north, silver was discovered in such rich deposits and quantity that the   
   new twon of Cobalt drew people from all over North America and Europe.   
   Within ten years two gold camps were established only a short distance to   
   the north and the region was confirmed as a major producer of precious   
   metals. This is the story of the three great mining camps of Cobalt,   
   Porcupine and Kirkland Lake. It not only relates the accounts of the   
   winners and losers in the great discoveries and tells of riches that were   
   won from the earth, but also includes the ordinary people who came and   
   pioneered the north country."
