Summary:

"The lumber era was an exciting time in Mattawa with sawmills close at hand and logging throughout the area. A half-dozen hotels catered to the itinerant logger. Much of this history is reported in Leo Morel's 1980 book Mattawa the Meeting of the Waters where he writes about all aspects of the town's growth -- the churches, the hospital, the schools, outstanding personalities etc."--www.pastforward.ca/perspectives/june22000.htm.
"Leo Morel in his book Mattawa the Meeting of the Waters (1980) notes that David A. Dunlap (1863-1924) was an astute lawyer in Mattawa in 1903 when he got wind of silver being discovered in the Cobalt area. In one of Ontario's great mining stories full of "romance, truth & fiction" Fred Larose an employee of the Temiscaming and Northern Ontario Railway, cutting through the rock near Cobalt, dropped his hammer and saw some silver ore. Morel tells about an employee of the Ontario Bureau of Mines in Mattawa going to Cobalt to check it out when David Dunlap found out. He went along with Mattawa friends and businessmen Noah and Henry Timmins who joined the employee heading to Cobalt. They invested and soon became millionaires.
... Leo Morel's book also makes reference to the Donalda Experimental Farm, another early Dunlap project. The farm was established in 1914 and made many advances in agriculture. The farm was eventually sold. The original farm house is now the clubhouse for the Donalda Golf Club."--www.pastforward.ca/perspectives/columns/08_08_15.htm.
