Way back in the 50's or 60's a prospector by the name of J.J. Johnson made an application for a diamond permit of 100 miles square, i.e. each side a 100 miles long. Fort a'la Corne was in the SW part of the box.

JJ vanished and was never heard from again after he sent 5 marble size diamonds to South Africa for analysis to some company beginning with the letter D.

He claimed to have found diamonds in a weathered blue ground that everybody assumed was kimberlite. It turns out the weathered blue ground was soapstone altered from Komatiite and the whole thing was staked up last week in the Wapawekka Hills north of FALC. All except one portion that is that is a set aside in a crown reserve for artists to collect the soapstone for carving.
