Box 18 i _ Pendulum methods determined acâ€" celeration due to gravity at any place, Dr. Eve stated, but remarked that this ‘method is not usually sensitive enough | for study of local underground variâ€" ‘ation of density. Von Eotvos, thereâ€" fore, invented the torsion balance | which is effective in a uniform graviâ€" ‘ tational field. He then demonstrated with graphs the lines of direct or alternating curâ€" rents through various locations and explained that an ore body must be difâ€" ferent to its surroundings really to make effective the use of electrical methods. In searching for salt domes, Dr. Eve explained the use of detonations from high explosives which are buried in the ground. When the detonation ocâ€" curs radio sgnal is given and recordâ€" ed on moving picture films attached to five or six seismograph recorders. One famous salt mine discovered by this method has already yielded $150,000,â€" 000 in sulphur. "Electrical methods are numerou> and diverse in type," he said. "Rain or surface water slowly decomposes sulâ€" phide ore bodies, hence chemical change results in earth currents from battery or voltaic action. Currents flow in surrounding rocks upwards to higher parts of the veins, completing the circuit downwards through the vein itself. Thus, if on the earth‘s surface there are placed two nonâ€" polarizable electrodes connected by wires through a sensitive galvanometer, the trend and size of these currents are found and the ore body located. Electrodes may be porous pots, conâ€" taining copper wires surrounded by a saturated solution of copper sulphite. A portable potentiometer is better than a galvonometer. Potential differences are measured between electrodes, which must make good contact with the ground." One of the most thrilling pictures of the screen season is promised at the Goldfields theatre on Friday and Satâ€" urday of this week, March 29th and s0th, when "The Shield of Honour" opens its engagement there. "The Shield of Honour‘" is a Universal proâ€" duction directed by Emory Johnson and was written especially for the screen by his mother, Emilie Johnson, author of numerous successful pictures directed by him. It deals with the inâ€" side workings of a metropolitan police force and the cast embraces such playâ€" ers as Neil Hamilton, Ralph Lewis, Doroâ€" thy Gulliver, Nige!l Barrie, Thelma Todd. Fred Esmelton, Joe Girard, Claire McDowell and others Punctuating his lecture with disserâ€" tations of a highly humorous nature, Dr. Eve made a technical subject most interesting. Referring to the headline> of a Denver paper which described his experiments in the radio activity of minerals as the antics of doodlebugs, he disclaimed all acquaintance with such insects, and launched upon a triâ€" bute to the courage and endurance of the professional prospeciors who have discovered the greatest number of mines in the world. "sSHIELD OF HONOUR" COMING TO GOLDFIELDS THIS WEEK "The divining rod has been used since time immemorial for finding water, oil, gold, tin, lead, witches and Protestâ€" ants," Dr. Eve said, "but it is one of those difficult cases where a medium is necessary, and one is apt to be imâ€" posed upon." In France during the war he admitted that the divining rod was used with success in the search for water but he doubted the necessity of a rod in a country where water was fairly abundant. Dr. Evo was born in Bedfordshire ana@ graduated from Cambridge in 1884. Coming to Canada in 1903, he became lecturer in physics at McGill, was made doctor of science by that university in 1908 and is now director of the departâ€" ment of physics. He is a fellow of the Royal society, a colonel of the C.EF., and was honored as C.B.E. Magnetic, â€"electrical, gravitational and seismic are the four main methods of applying physics to assist the geolâ€" ogist and mining man, Dr. A, S. Eve, professor of physics, McGill university, declared in an address before the Royal Canadian institute at Convocation hall, Toronto, on Saturday night, according to The Mail and Empire report.

Apparently he made no serious effort to get any money or to do any further harm than the masked demand. As the couple had a couple of hundred dollars in their possession at the time the matter was considerd serious, and the police were notified. A charge was laid under the criminal code. It is thought that the accused was under the influence of liquor when he staged the affair. The Advance usually does not favour light sentences or paroles for crimes such as this, but it does appear to be a case where at least investigation might be made with a view to determining whether further clemency is warranted in the case, and at any rate there will be a general feeling that the judge was fully warâ€" ranted in imposing a comparatively light ‘sentence. At Cochrane last week Sam McLeod, well and generally favourably known in the North, pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted robbery while armed and was sentenced to a years imprisonâ€" ment. As Judge Caron explained to the accused the term was a very lenient cne in view of the fact that a penalty of life imprisonment was provided by law for such an offence which the law rightly viewed as most serious. The previous good record of the accused and the fact that the affair may have been no more than a stupid and illâ€" judged joke no doubt moved the judge to the clemency shown. According to information from Cochrane, the acâ€" cused was urged to secure the services of a lawyer and also to enter a piea of not guilty so that the real facts of the case might be made piain, but he stubbornly refused to do either, taking the stand that he was guilty all right, but that the whole affair had been no. more han a joke. McLeod who was a linesman for the Public Utilities Comâ€" mission at Cochrane, and who had worked at this trade in other parts of| the North where he is one of the oldâ€" imers, is a married man with a family and has generally been considered as a good citizen and a good fellow. Acâ€" cording to the information from Cochâ€" rane he entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Angus Martin one evening aboutl 2.30 and ordered all to hand over their | cash. He had a shawl or wrap around his head and carried a revolver. Mrs. Martin recognized him and asked him| Joke Holdâ€"up Turns Out Serious for the Joker TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH, 28th, 1929 Cheo Morrurie TNAAT bEâ€"Lâ€"Lâ€"!

He prospected around thc;. North, particularly in the Tashota,| Goudreau and other sections. He went’ to the Paymaster when that property! first opened up and was employed | there for some time. About five or: six years ago he went to Matheson to reside, having taken up a homestead . there. He stayed at Matheson last October. Mr. Newman visited him several times at Matheson, renewing | friendship with this agreeable and inâ€" teresting friend. On some of his later visits Mr. Newman found his friend | in bad health, tuberculosis having marked him down. Friends and neighâ€" | bours did all they could for the sick man and Mr. Newman stayed several days with him on more than one ocâ€" casion. Eventually he was persuaded to go to the South for treatment, enâ€" tering the Roanoke Sanitarium at Phoenix, Arizona, last October. His‘ recent death there was a matter of deep regret for @!l who knew him. The late Mr. Knapp was an experiencâ€" ed and competent miner, and was well known and popular throughout the North. He was highly esteemed for his uprightness, integrity and agreeâ€" able disposition. A daughter, Mrs. Hanovan, resides at Monia, Honolulu, where her husband is the manager of a large pineapple plantation. LATE ALEXANDER M. KNAPP OF THE NORTH The late Alexander M. Knapp was born near Brockville, Ontario, some 61 years ago, and prospected through the West in its early days. About 1912 he came to Timmins and was for some Brief reference was made last week to the death at Phoenix, Arizona, of Alexander M. Knapp, formerly of this North Land. As it was suggester that information was desired in regard to the late Mr. Knapp and his relatives, Mr. J. R. Newman, of town, has kindly furnished The Advance with some parâ€" ticulars. Mr. Newman was a close friend of the late Mr. Knapp and as soon as he learned of the death he forwarded information that he had to the hospital at Phoenix, Arizona, teleâ€" graphing the address of a daughter of the deceased, and sending additional information to the Phoenix authorities by mail.

The funds that are authorâ€" ized to be appropriated for these purâ€" poses will run from $75,000 for the first year to $1,000,000 annually for the next seven years and $200,000 each year thereafter. Mr. Henderson claims that the new law is one of the most imporâ€" ever passed by Congress so far as sportsmen and those interested in song and insectivorous birds are concerned and that its beneficial effect will be s great that the government desires to ensure its full operation at the earliest possible date." * "Hitherto the United States has not done its share to carry out the terms of the migratory bird treaty and there has been a feeling in Canada that the efâ€" forts to preserve these birds while they are in this country has resulted in greater opportunities for American sharpshooters when the birds go south for the winter. But Mr. W. C. Henderâ€" of the bureau of biological survey at Washington has issued a statement in which he says: "February 18 is one of the most important dates in the hisâ€" tory of game preservation. On that day of this year here was approved by President Coolidge an act to authorise a national system of sanctuaries where migratory birds can feed, rest and breed unmolested by man." He admitted that Canada has already established numerous refuges to carry out her obâ€" ligations under the migratoryâ€"bird treaty and has thus taken an imporâ€" tant step ahead of us. Our new law will more effectively fulfil our treaty obâ€" ligations to protect in this country the birds that spend part of the year here and part in Canada. "Ontario has done a great deal to protect and to preserve wild life from useless slaughter and a further step is now under consideration. The fish and game committee of the Legislature has been informed that the principles of conservation will be. included in the curriculum of the schools. There can be no doubt that the instillation of these ideas at an impressionable age will help to strengthen public opinion in the future. Some of the members pointed out that it was easy for an airplane to cross from the United States, especially the state of Minneâ€" sota, shoot fowl or deer and carry the "bag" back without detection. Steps will be taken to prevent this kind of slaughter. In an editorial article this week The Toronto Mail and Empire says:â€" Efforts to Preserve the Migratory Birds HARRY L. DONALDSON, ILL AT WINNIPEG HOSPITAL The Easter dance, announced by the A.S.D. Club to be held in the Masonic hall, Timmins, on Monday evening, April 1st, promises to be one of the most enjoyable events of the season. Tommy Stephens‘ orchestra will furnâ€" ish the music for the occasion. Inâ€" vitations are not being issued for this dance, but tickets are on sale by memâ€" bers of the A.S.D. committee for the occasion. Word was received last week at Elk Lake that Harry L. Donaldson, manaâ€" ger of the Gem Lake Mines, has been seriously ill at the general hospital in Winnipeg suffering from pneumonia. It is hoped that he will soon be better, as he is now reported as making good progress to recovery, but it is expected that Mr. Donaldson will go home to Cobalt for a rest on leaving Winnipeg and before returning to his duties as mine manager. Developments at the Gem Lake Mines recently have been very promising, being excellent returns from alWaccounts, for the good work carried on by Mr. Donaldson previous to illness. Mrs. Donaldson is in Winâ€" nipeg and will remain there until her husband is out of danger. |\ The search for base metals in Onâ€" !tario is described in the recent governâ€" ment report. Perhaps the greatest ‘boon to the base metal industry has been the perfection in quite recent times of the selective fliotation method of milling complex sulphide ores that :Were formerly useless, says the stateâ€" ment. Electroâ€"metallurgy has also made big strides. A notable feature of recent staking expeditions for copper and other base metals has been the fact that in many cases prospectors have been guided by the recollection of old showings, which in their former wanderings they had passed over in the search .for gold and silver. Hunâ€" dreds of abandoned claims Are being restaked as a result of the changed conditions. The origin, structure and depth of preâ€"Cambrian base metal ores is of great interest at present. Deep work at the Noranda has shown that the sulphite masses are lenticular, says Dr. Gledhill. The same is true of the sulphides in the Frood orebody at Sudbury and of the Fin Flon in Man:â€" toba. In a general way, he states, it iis safe to conclude that deepâ€"seated preâ€"Cambrian ore bodies are lenticular ’m form with the likelihood of one lens appearing where another pinches out. The factor of depth is important, since it indicates the future life of the mine. At Sudbury, the bonanza chalcopyrite body of the Frood appears first at 2,â€" 000 feet; at the Flin Flon deposit in Manitoba, the grade of the ore is mainâ€" ained at 900 feet; at the United Verde mine in Arizona replacement sulphides are being mined at 2,500 feet or so; and at the Noranda ore has been found beâ€" low the 1,000â€"foot horizon. Everything indicates that some of our replacement sulphide ores in the preâ€"Cambrian will extend to a depth of 3,000 feet and probably as far down as the favourable rocks and structure are maintained, Dr. Gledhill concludes. A.S.D. EASTER DANCE IN MASONIC HALL ON MONDAY A further contribution to the knowâ€" ledge of geological conditions in the northern mineral belt of Ontario is made in the latest report of the Ontario department of mines just issued. The booklet is in three parts, the first by T. L. Gledhill, embracing Ben Nevis, Munâ€" ro, Kamiskotia and other base metal areas; the second and third parts, by M. E. Hurst, cover Ranger Lake and Garden River areas, and the leadâ€"zinc deposits of the district of Algema, reâ€" spectively. In addition to a discussion of the general characteristics and geology of the areas, much interesting information on the individual proâ€" perties is included. The field work was done last summer, of course, and since that time conditions have changed somewhat. Some properties have ceased operations, some have made imâ€" portant discoveries and others have been steadily working on development in the interval.
