e wJ Noted Scottish Engineer Investigaâ€" ting Hecla Coal Property North of Cochrane. There is renewed activity in the eoal area on the Mattagami north of Cochrane. Following the recent reâ€" port by a Government geologist, making very favourable references to the geology of the area, the Hecla Coal, Oil and Mining Co., Limited, who have several coal claims in the area mentioned, have renewed their activities on the properties. The KHecla Coal Co. has secured ithe serâ€" vices of ‘Mr. Marshall, a noted Scotâ€" tish coal expert, and together with three men he is now at the property making a survey and general investiâ€" wation. Mr. Marshall has studied the @overnment geologists‘s report very elosely and was of the opinion before visiting the property that the formaâ€" tion is very similar to that at Presâ€" tonpans, Scotland, where coal mining is very successfully carried on. It is believed that now that he is on the property and able to see for himself Mr. Marshall will be still further conâ€" frmed in his opinion on the geology and the great possibilities of the area. From preliminary examinations Mr. Marshall considered that the grade of coal was good, being of the steam coal variety, and it appeared to be in comâ€" mercial quantities sufficient to assure a big mine for a great many years of production. The further reports by Mr. Marshall will be awaited with very keen interest, as the opening of a coal mine in the North will be of the very greatest importance to the counâ€" try,â€"more important indeéed than the discovery of another gold or silver field. In case it is decided that the proposition is a good one with coal present in commercial qantities, it is the intention of the Heda Coal, Oul and Mining Co. to proceed with its active development. Among the acâ€" tive shareholders of the Heda Coal Co. is Mr. R. Swan, of the T. N. O. police force, other T. N. 0. emâ€" ployees also being interested in this eompany.

Toroqtt'r (‘‘Dragoman‘‘ in ‘‘Daily Expess‘‘) The fact that the Prince of Woales who is so fond of smoking, is to pay a visit to the Duke of Devonshire toâ€" day reminds me that the Cavendish family was closely associated with the early history of tobacco. It was Sir William Cavendish, a doughty old sea dog under Queen Eh?ebath and an ancestor of the present Duke of Devonshire, who first discovered the art of moistening tobacco‘ with molasses and pressing it into hard cakes. The ‘"‘Cavendish‘‘ is, I think, the only early standard variety of tobacco named after its inventor. ‘*The Aconda ore has the advantâ€" age, like that on the Abana and Alâ€" dermac, of following a definite break so that it can be followed and mined without particular difficulty or exâ€" pense. It has the further advantage in that it appears to be of deep origin and will probably ‘be found to conâ€" tinue to great depths improving in dimensions as it goes down of whien the preliminary work has already given strong evidence. Moreover it is of excellent grade running well over 20 dollars with a relatively high gold content."‘‘ ‘*‘Aconda‘s property in Kamiskoâ€" tia is gradually assuming the imporâ€" tance of a mine and preliminary diaâ€" mond drilling has fully confirmed the electrical indications that an ore body of excellent grade is under developâ€" ment, the apex of which is located not far from No. 1 drill hole. Six thousand feet of drilling have been officially authorized to fully delimit this ore body to a depth of several hundred feet following a shaft will be sunk to break «down ore while the drills will be turned on the other surâ€" face showings of which several have been exposed to locate their downâ€" ward extension and importance. ACONDA‘S KAMISKOTIA PROPERTY SHOWS PROMISE The Canadian Mining Gazette last week says :â€"â€" The Geo. Taylor Hardware Ltd. â€" Faar Stores in the North | Timmins Oochranse New Liskeard Cobalt THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Arthur Buisson, Department of Mines, Ottawa, Reviews Developments in This Camp GOL0 AREA CUTLMNED In an article devoted to the proâ€" gress of the Porcupine gold area Arâ€" thur Buisson, Mines Branch, Departâ€" ment of Mines, Ottawa, states that the Porcupine gold area, in the Disâ€" trict of Cochrane, Northern Ontario, occupies first rank among the goldâ€" producing areas in Canada. Producâ€" tion has been considerably increased at the Hollinger and, at. various other properties by intense development work and additional plant construcâ€" tion: Big things may be expected also from such mines as the Melntyre, the Dome and the Coniaurum, where similar work is under way or contemâ€" plated. The underground workings of the Hollinger Mine extend over ninety miles. The property has several deep shafts; the main hoisting shaft has a depth of 3,060 feet, and a hoisting speed of 3,000 feet per minute. . Anâ€" other shaft is 1,800 feet in depth, and is used mainly for hoisting men and supplies. The old Schumacher shaft has been renovated, and is being used for handling the timber needed underâ€" ground. The main shaft is hoisting ore at the rate of about 6,000 tons per day. . f The primary erushing of the ore is done underground by . two large crushers, one on the 2,300â€"foot level, the other on the 2,700â€"foot level, each with a nominal crushing capacity of 10,000 ton per 24 hours. The ore from the other levels is dropped down to the crusher through pass chutes. The ore reserves of the mine are givâ€" en officially as 7,770,234 tons, averâ€" aging $8.49 per ton, with an estimated gross value of over $66,000,000, but this figure, no doubt, is a very conâ€" servative one. Dome Mines, Limited, has sunk a threeâ€"compartment winze (No. 5) from the sixteenth level to a depth of 338 feet, and has proceeded with lateral development to prove up the ore indicated in the diamond drill holes. The future of the property appears to depend very much on the success of this new development, alâ€" though recent unofficial reports are to the effect that promising discoveries have been made in some of the upper levels. â€" * / At the Mclntyre Mine a very active development campaign, confined largeâ€" ly to the lower levels, has been carâ€" ried on during the last few years, and appears to have met with encouraging results. The deepest lateral workings is on the 2,875â€"foot level, where a few thousand feet ‘of development has been done. The mine is served by three working shafts. No. 5 has a depth of 2,435 feet; No. 6, the main shaft, which is 3,019 feet in depth, and No. 11, which reached its objecâ€" tive of 4,131 feet early in March, 1927. * The curtailment of developâ€" ment work on the lower levels, due to inability of shafts No. 5 and No. 6, to handle the heavy tonnage of mi‘ling rock has been relieved by the compleâ€" tion of No. 11 shaft. The ore reserves of the McIntyre mine are given offiâ€" cially at 1,675,893 tons, averaging $8.43 per ton, with an estimated gross value of over fourteen million dollars. A noteworthy feature in the hisâ€" tory of the Porcupine area has been the steady increase in theâ€"totalâ€" anâ€" nual production of gold which, at present, is at the rate of about $24,â€" 000,000, and the active development programmes under way by the prinâ€" cipal operators augurs well for simâ€" ilar progress in the future.

Dear Sir:â€"You are frequently publishing news on the wolf and its habits, and at war with The Toronto Star on this subject. ~Well, I will say for some of the wolves I have seen here, if they would not attack a man, the man is lucky, and he would never attack them without a gun, for the size of some of the timber wolves here is ‘enough to secare the average human. I have seen several here 1 should think measuring 7 feet from tip to tip, and also 3 feet or more at the shoulder. Now, how would you like to try to kick the gizzard out of one of these Canadian heavyweights? This morning one of the tractors ran one down and killed it. This is true. The tractor caught a wolf. You may doubt this, but the proof is the fact that the wolf‘s hide is now hanging up outside Red Lake post office. The wolf was badly smashed up. Well, these tractors here are fast, but I think the: wolf was groggy from the effects of a poison bait. Still you can‘t beat a tractor. | Yours truly, J. M.
