Well Received Ianitnnlin Iternner Bannnt leave Private Business to Accept Government Utter Stress of business and the length of time that such an important ex- ploration would necessitate, have caused R. R. Gamay, M.L.A. for Manitoulin, to abandon his proposed trip as head of the party that is to investigate the newly-annexed por- tions of the province and the route of the T. and N. 0. Railway over the five mile strip through Manitoba to )ludson Hay. Sir James Whitney stated that the government would have liked Mr. (Jamey to lead the party, but he had found it unable to do so. The prime minister denied the truth of certain published statements that Mr. Gami- ey would not go north on account of differences between the government and himself with regard to remuner- ution. "The exploration party will be gone for probably five months." said Sir James. “and Mr. Gamey [lads it impOSsihle to remain away from his business for that length of time. The statement that he is not going be- cause oi diflerences between the gun‘- ernment and himself is absolutely untrue. The question of his remun- eration never has been discussed by any member of the government and himself and has not even been con- sidered. l am‘sorry to say that Mr. “army for the u‘easons given has de- cided further than that the ministry desired Mr. Uamey to do at the head of the party. We expect to be able to shortly announce the names of those who .will compose the par~ ty." W.

Proctor and Homer Gibson re- [)l‘t‘St'llU'd the South Porcupine Board of Trade at a meeting of the asso- ciated boards of Northern Qatario held at Coehrane lase Friday. As the South Porcupine Board is not atliliated with the associated boards, the delegates were present on invitation and were well received by all. The discussions partook mainly of anagricultural nature in that reso- lutions were introduced praying the Legislature to use every effort to open up the North Country as far as James Bay by encouraging the setâ€" tler to locate in the agricultural belt. At the conclusion of the proceedâ€" ings a magnificent hanquet was held at the Prince George hotel. which was thoroughly enjoyed by all pre- sent. It was at this banquet that the delegates interested in mining se- cured an opportunity to say a word, and in response to the toast, “Min- ing," H. A. Proctor did the honors for the great mining industry. ~ His address, though delivered without the slightest preparation, was heartily received and loudly applauded. While he allotted to agriculture full credit for its importance as a means to progress, he clearly showed that the work of the prospector had in sever- al instances opened the way for the agriculturalist. In eVery particular the meeting was most pleasant and successful and greatly enjoyed by all present.

Cumpson. one of the most popular 1‘. a N. 0. conductors, died at his home in North Bay last. Fri- day night, after a few days' illness from pneumonia. Deceased had charge of the local train running between Englehart and Latchfonl and intermediate points (or the past several months.

A judgment has just. been handed out in Toronto which is of consider- able interest to mining people. John lliieknall of llaileybury owned some mining claims on the Matabitchouan River which were submerged by wa- ter at the time the British Canadian l’ower Company's huge dam was built. 311'.

May Have Remarkable Effect on Cost of Production--P0rcupine Poor Man’s Camp INTERESTING PROCESS FOR GOLD RECOVERY There is perhaps no line of metal- urgical work which has atlled out more etlort in the improvement of methods than that of recovering ilour, or llake gold. In most cases it has been along the line of amalgamators, rillles or containing sand in baths of mercury. The old copper plate has always held its place. and. although many devices have been brought out which promised a higher recovery, none has been able to supplant it iu-the gen- era, operation of gold milling. Unc ot the great objections to the ordinary copper plate has been the loss of quicksilver resulting from scouring and fouling, for. while the mercury has a very decided allinity has no side support, is so delicate that it takes but little to disturb and detach it. The idea of this process, the dis- covery ot' a medium or material which makes it possible to retain the mercury secure. on the plates, withâ€" out as much supervision as has been necessary heretofore, with the old style copper plate. Uwing to the rapid increase in the number of mills being constructed, it is sometimes dillicult to obtain ex- pert amalagmators for copper plates, but with this process this expert su- pervision is not so necessary, and a man of ordinary intelligence quickly bécomes familiar with the working of the plate. has produced a compound in- corporating disseminated particles of mercury which are inde- pendent of one another. This compound, when made. is plastic and can he used as a coating either on a plate,glass or any other llat.surl°ace or on the inner surface of a cylinder. Un standing, the material hardens to any desired degree of density, accord- : ing to the proportion of the ingredi- lents and as the mercury is evenly ldistributed through it, there are lthousands of particles presenting {bright faces at the surface, as at- ! taehing points for the gold. In that the materials of the com- pound, the nature ofwhich has not. been disclosed to the public, have a very high allinity for the mercury, it is quite difficult. if not impossible, to break them loose from their seating” :16 they are supported on all sides, thus reducing loss to a minimum. Princess “Pat” Much Pleased Already a name has been found for the district to be formed out of the newly-acquired territory of the Pro- vince lying,r beyond the Albany River. District of Patricia is the name henceforth to be applied to the one hundred and forty-seven or eight thousand miles of land, forest and water that will enrich the natural heritage of the' Province. The surface of the compound, when ready for operation, has the texture and “feel" of a moderately rough cement surface, and is in a In making the announcement, Sir James; Whitney said that the Gov- ernrnent had received the (consent of his Royal Highness the Governor- General and his daughter to the name being given, and that Princess Patricia was glad that her “name should be associated with the in- crease of the prosperity of the Pro~ Vince of Ontario." The exploration party, to be head- ed by Mr, J. B. 'l‘yrrell. is to con- sist of two la’nd surveyors, possibly an ofiicer of the Crown Lands De- partment and six Indians. Fulluwing this idea, the inventor compuund most admirable condition for deter ring the rapid progress of gold over it. This roughness tends to retard the flow of the pulp next to the sur- face of the plate.due -to the friction, thereby causing an eddying oi the stream, and a tendency for the sur- face of the stream on which the fine gold “lists, and cannot be recovered except by chemical process. to be drawn towards the plate. thereby bringing the fine particles of gold in contact with the mercury. The «limes have no effect on the action or condition of the surface. which re- mains bright, and therefore making it easy for the line particles of gold to be amalgamated. Ure bodies containing manganese and other impurities, hare long been a source of annoyance to mill men using copper plates for amalgama- tion, causing the plates to become foul,. and thereby using the amalgam and mercury, but the Luttrell pro- cess has eliminated this source oi loss in a way which cannot. be done with any other plates. All that is necessary to keep this plate in good working condition is occasionally to apply a wash of dilute hydro-chloric acid, caustic alo kali. or dilute cyanide solution. The binding material of these plates con- tains no copper and are not allected by the application of cyanide soluâ€" tion, uhich are recognized to be rob- bets ol gold in mills employing cop~ per plate amalgamation. The (upper plate which is now in use is NJ!) expcnsiw, icquiring to be i-lcctm plated with two ounces 01‘ more (21' silver pvi' square foot. and with it luv-gr :iiil! this mmtns, consid- i-rnhlc mum-y tied up in plattcs,which are ultimately unly good for scrap copper. The materials Hf which this plate is composed are inexpensive and can 'l'hese plates do not require. to be dressed twice a day or ofteuer, as is the. custom with other plates, and the ease with which they can be de- tached, rolled up, retorted and smelted, simplifies what was former- ly it drudgery, tu at remarkable ex- tent. ° puny The materials nf which Lhis plate is cumpusod are im-xponsive and can he rmulily uhtuinml from the 001w 'l'he crowning feature of these plates, is the great 111111111111 oi mer- cury they :11'1' eapnlile of holding inevhunirnlly without loss.

Porcupine may yet man's camp.” It is known that a New York law lirm will file for probate within a. few days the will of Col. John Jacobi Astor, who perished on the Titanic. It is understood that it is a compar- atively new will, made after C01. Astor's marriage to Miss Force. The lawyers refuse, however, to give any details as to the disposition of the estate, which is estimated at $125,- 000,000. At the time of his second marri- age, Col. Astor settled $5,000,000 on his bride, in view of which it is un- derstood she relinquished her (lower rights, in order that the estate might remain intact. A provision had also been made. Mrs. Astor’s lawyers say that the bulk of the estate will go to Col. Astor's son, Vincent, who will keep it intact.
