UNEXPLORD LAND IN CANADA

"Detroit, Michigan, January 13. — Within the borders of Ontario are three tracts of 6,000 to 8,000 square miles each that no white man has ever explored, says the News. It is estimated that east' of Reindeer lake and Kasan river is a region of 73,000 square miles in area, larger than New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts combined, which is yet to be ■ explored. Altogether there is an aggregate of 9 01,000 square miles country which should be represented on the map by whiteness, and this calculation does not include unexplored areas of less than' 4,000 square miles.
