Todd,
When I went to the site that you mentioned for George Campbell of the gold mine, I opened
another about a Robert Campbell who found the big uranium deposits on the north shore of
Lake Superior in 1955. Put together the two could make a good story for the Journal.

Thank you Diarmid and Bruce,
The reason I am researching George and his father John is because I would
like to submit an article for the Journal. George discovered the Campbell
Red Lake
Gold Mine but it is not common knowledge that his sisters husband John
(Jack) Wilson discovered the Dome Mine in Porcupine Ontario.

Todd,
When next you are near a library, ask for the Canadian Dictionary of
National Biography for George C in 1945 and Robert C in 1948. It is
possible it may have articles on them.

Hello group, I had tried to post in the past but my messages did not go
through.
I was looking for information on this Campbell line, they were probably
the
most famous Goldminers in North America
yet little is known about them.
