Box 319 Thie Flaver Lasts Crean Hill Mine The Crean Hill mine, which is also being worked at present, is producing twenty thousand tons per month. The ore values are slightlyv-lower than‘the Creighton values, but the ore is fairâ€" ly silicous and aids materially the It may be readily seen that even with a direct eut of fifty per cent. in the present prevailing price of eopâ€" per and nickel, this one mine would still be one of immense value. There is no question then but that the Creighton mine is not only the richâ€" est nickelâ€"copper mine in the world, but bids fair to become in value proâ€" duced, one of the richest mines the world has known. teen years. Further development will in all likelihood greatly increase the present known ore reserves. â€" Actual are not available as regards the percentage metal content of the raw ore of this great mine, but from authentie sources, the writer has inâ€" formation which places the combined copper and nickel contents per ton of ore mined and smelted at between five and six per cent. The metals are present in approximately equal amâ€" ounts although it is certain that the nickel contents are slightly greater than the copper. We have then a mine with a production of 85,000 Tons of Raw Ore Per Month with a sufficient tonnage developed to insure this production for the next fifteen years, and with an average content of nickelâ€"copper of between five and six per cent. In other words this is a mine with a total Available Tonnage of 13,000,000 Tons which, at the present price of its metâ€" allie contents, hay a gross Value of Approximately $700,000,000 The Creighton Mine, the premier mine of the company, is the largest producing nickel mine in the world, eightyâ€"five thousand tons of nickelâ€" copper _ ore being> produced each fmonth. Sufficient ore has been deâ€" veloped to warrant this rate of proâ€" duection for a period of at least fifâ€" |day the mines and smelters are being worked to their fullest capacity. _ The prineipal mines of the Interâ€" national Nickel Company are known as the Creighton, the Crean Hill and the Frood. Of these, at the present the Creighton is by far the richest and fourâ€"fifths of the total product of the company is coming from it. The next in importance is the Crean Hill from which oneâ€"fifth of the proâ€" duction is being taken. ‘The Frood is not bheing worked at the present time for the reason that it is of a lower grade than the other two. â€" Beside these properties, the International Nickel Company own thousands of acres of nickel bearing ground in the area, much of which is known to conâ€" tain ore bodies of commercial value. in this article no mention will be made of the mining methods or treatâ€" ment. 1t is the intention of the writer to give an approximate idea of the extent of the company‘s holdings. toâ€" zether with the average contents of th»> known ore bodies. } Probably there is nowhere in the world a group of mines so little known to the general public as the !mincs of the Canadian Copper Comâ€" pany, the subsidiary company of the International Nickel Company, situâ€" ated near Sudbury, Ont., Canada. The discovery of this great nickelâ€" copper field occured in 1856, but was assumed to be of no importance until the bulding of the Canadian Pacific Railroad in 1882. Four years later tha Canadian Copper Company was organized and continued. operations in a more or less intermittent way until the taking over of its properâ€" ties by the International Nickel Comâ€" pany in 1900. From then until the present writing, each year has seen an increase in the production with the exeeption of 1914 when operations were eurtailed for a short time beâ€" cause of the outbreak of the Europeâ€" an War Shortly afterwards the deâ€" mand for the two metals, copper and nickel, and the consequent increase in price caused renewed activity by the company with the result that toâ€" Interesting Review of Little Known Facts by Hamlin Brooks Hatch, E.M.

When one conâ€" siders these figures one is certain that the mining properties of the Inâ€" ternational Nickel Company are amâ€" ong the most valuable on this Conâ€" tinent, if not in the World, and that the operations of this company must need be considered among the world‘s ereat industries. The International Nickel Company then is at present from its mines in the Sudbury District, making a proâ€" duction of approximately one hundred thousand tons of ore a month with an actual recovery of metallic conâ€" tents valued at four million dollars. The known ore reserves, together with the large acreage of partially develâ€" oped and undeveloped mining ground, makes it certain that this production can be imaintained for a great many vears. (One other holding of the company is worthy of mention. Theis the inâ€" teresting Vermilion mine which is at present bheing developed. The values here ‘are, as in other properties of this company, mainly copper and mekel but the ore deposit also carâ€" ries appreciable values in both platâ€" inum and gold. The development of this property is being watched with keen interest as its possibilities of hbeâ€" coming a very valuable asset to the Company are good. and even the most econservative would only lessert this by halt. The Vermilion Mine Other properties of the company are largely in an undeveloped state but are known to be inthe economic area and as has been said, ore bodies of commercial grade areâ€" known â€" to exist on several of them.
