Ontario Ghost Towns website text: Mr. W. Robinson and Mr. J.B. Campbell, discovered large deposits of iron while they were clearing their lots. More discoveries followed in rapid succession and the race was on. Robinson quickly followed up with additional discoveries on lots 25, 26, 27 and 28, Concession 4. However, Campbell found the very best samples on lot 20, Concession I, a lot which was owned by Robert Gibson. Campbell formed a partnership with two men from Toronto, Shertis and Savigny, which led to the formation of the Snowdon Iron Mine Company. Robinson in turn sold the rights for lot 26 to American born Henry Stark Howland, who was living in Toronto at the time. Once word of the discoveries became known, people quickly began to gravitate towards the area. By 1874, Peter Barr had opened a general store and post office.
Wikipedia text: In 1870 W. Robinson and J.B. Campbell discovered large deposits of iron while they were clearing their lots near the settlement of Devil's Creek. Robinson quickly followed up with additional discoveries, while Campbell found the best samples on a lot owned by Robert Gibson. Robinson joined forces with two men from Toronto, Shertis and Savigny, and formed the Snowdon Iron Mine Company to mine Gibson's land. He later sold his rights on another lot to Henry Stark Howland, an American living in Toronto. By 1874 the town was growing, with a post office and general store.
It's a remarkably close paraphrase; I still wouldn't be happy passing this at this point, sorry. Yunshui 雲 水 12:33, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
