Recently the Kiwanees passed a doâ€" nation of $15.00 to purchasée shrubs and other plants for the C.A.S. Shelter grounds here. The ladies looked after the building of a lawn and the plantâ€" ing of flowers at the Shelter when it was first established, and now they intend to proceed to further beautify the place. Mrs. G. H. Gauthier, who is an expert at horticultural matters had charge of the work before and will likely lend the same assistance this spring. The ladies recognize the value of beautiful surroundings to the work of the C.A.S. Shelter and the work of carrying cut the idea of beautifying the Shelter grounds will be carried out as soon as favourable weather arrives. TO BEAUTTIFY THE GROUNDS AT THE CA SHELTER MADE IN CANADA TIMMINS, ONT. neath l ‘"The beds of lignite, it has now been established, are found in a basin formed by an irregularity in the unâ€" lderlying basic rocks, permitting an accumulation of clay and vegetation over a periocd of years, protected from erosion which has formed a certain area of cretaceous formation that is favorable for the habitation of coal, oil and gas. One drill hole, put down vertically for exploratory purposes, did Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"The Kitchener suggestton that hockey reâ€" ferees should be kept off the ice altoâ€" gether is not well adapted to modern rinks. If the games were played on the ice of a lake or river it might be feasible to make some arrangements for the referee to swim along underâ€" "The government‘s exploratory acâ€" tivitiecs in this field have now extended over the past two years. A third drill was despatched this week from the Sudbury shops of Smith and Travers to the lignite field, and will probably take part in the program for the comâ€" ing summer. A third shaft for testing murposes has reached a depth of about 35 feet, where further progress has been temporarily retarded by caving difficulties." "The basin in which the lignite has been found is at least five miles across in one direction, while its length has not yet been determined. ‘There is also said to be the possibility of other similar basins being found in the vast area which forms what is known as the James Bay slope. not enter the basic ganite until a depth ocf 1,000 feet, indicating that the basin was at least 1,000 feet deep at that rivint. Below the lignite beds, it is said, the drilling denoted certain strata of shale and limestone, the porous quality of the latter suggesting possâ€" ibilities of oil accumulation. "Certain definite and conclusive conclusions have been reached with regard to the geology of the area in which government drills have located huge tonrages of lignite on the James Bay slops, according to reliable inâ€" formation obtained this week. As a result of these conclusions while no annourcement has been made it is possible the government may proceed with its explorations in the lignite field on an even more extensive scale this year than before. While there is some difference of opinion on the subâ€" ject, it is said in wellâ€"informed geolâ€" ogical circles that the possibilitiee of finding oil and gas in addition to the proven deposits of lignite have not yet been exhausted.

A despatch this week from Cobalt says that the funeral took place on Tuesday morning, March 3rd, from St. Patrick‘s Roman Catholic church in that town of Mrs. Edward Legris, memâ€" ber of a pioneer Renfrew county famâ€" ily, who died of old age at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. C. Wosdworth. Of TIrish descent, Mrs. Legris was bormn near Calabogie in 1846, h>r maiden name being Amelia Enright. With her husband shi came to Cobalt in the camyp‘s earlier days, and Mr. Legris died there about 22 years ago. Survivâ€" ing are one son, James Legris, Timâ€" mins, and three daughters, Mrs. Woodâ€" worth and Mrs. J. E. Prouix, Cobalt, and Mrs. W. J. O‘Connor, Fort William. The Department of Mines continues from year to year to carry out a sysâ€" tematic survey of the geological forâ€" mations of areas favorable for the ccâ€" currence of minerals By this means a wealth of information has been acâ€" cumulated in the shaps of exploraâ€" tion reports and geological maps, which are of great assistance to the prospector and the miner. DEATH AT COBALT C=© THE MOTHER OF JAMES LEGRIS Expleration of the Onakawana ligâ€" nite fields is being continued by the of Mineées. Up to the present between five and six miles square have been proven to contain lignite, the seams running from 10 to 12 feet to 50 or 60 feet in thickâ€" ness, and the total quantity of ligâ€" nite indicated being estimated at 135 to 150 million tons. Highâ€"grade reâ€" fractory clays are found associated with the lignite. The T. N. O. railâ€" way crosses the field en route from Cochrane to Moose River Crossing. The world‘s need for gold, and the rapid depletion of the mines in the older gold producing countries, is diâ€" recting the attention of mining men and speculative capital to the parâ€" tially dGdeveloped gold properties of Ontaric, and to ‘the exploration Of the great unpxo:pected _areas of thne province. There is every evidence cof a reâ€" vival of interest and activity in prosâ€" pecting. Some new and a number of old properties are coming under deâ€" velopment. Th <« discovery of rich gold deposits at Bannockburn in the Matachewan district, goes to show how little is yet known of the possiâ€" bilities of the more accessible areas, to say nothing of the remoter parts of the province. The total value of the nickel output for the year was down about ten perâ€" cent., as compared with the previous year. Platinum metals showed over 100 percent, increase in quantity, but the lower market prices of these rare metals cut into the value, which, nevertheless, was 50 percent. over that of 1929. Lead and zinc were on a restricted basis during the past year cwing to low market prices. Producâ€" tion in noneâ€"metallic minerals in 1930 was about the same as that of the previous year. Notwithstanding the decline in the price of copper, production of ‘th‘f} metal in Ontario during the past year was much increased. The output of copper advanced from 88 million pounds in 1929 to 127 million pounds in 1930. Practically all was produced by the mines of Sudbury. Despite this handicap, however, the piseduction of metals, including gold, in Ontario only fell off in value in 1930 to the extent of a little over half a million dollars. This is the more remarkable when it is remembered that 1929 was the peak year in th: histcory of mining in Ontario. silver â€"preduction advanced in quantity during the year under the stimulus of the good market for cobalt, with which it is associated. Many of the properties of the Cobalt mining area were worked for the cobalt conâ€" tent of the ore, and the silver was reâ€" covered incidentally. The exceptional decline in the price of silver is attracâ€" ting wide interest, and any revival in the popularity of this metal would, certairly enhance the value of many ocf the mines and mining pwospects of Ontario. _ The general slump in the prices of base and rare metals has had a worldâ€" wide effect on mining and mineral preoduction, and many mining operaâ€" tions in various parts of the world have been either suspended or curâ€" tailed during the past year. This represents the highwater mark of gold preduction by the province. Ontario toâ€"day produces 82 prrcent. of the total gold output of the Dominâ€" ion, and is responsible for placing Canâ€" ada this year second on the list of gold mining countries of the worldâ€"a posiâ€" tion which has been held for many years by the United States. Increased gold production was the outstanding feature of the mining inâ€" dustry of Ontario during the year 1930. At a time when the world is crying out for more and more of this inâ€" dispensable medium of exchange, Onâ€" tario responded to the call by an outâ€" put of nearly 36 million dollars. The following article on Ontario‘s gold production and the mining inâ€" dustry in general is by Hon. Chas. McCrea, Minister of Z{Tines for Ontario: Gold Production Up in the Province World Demand for Gold Finding Resâ€" ponse in Output in Ontario. Ontario Dept. of Mines Helping the Industry North Bay Nugget:â€"The Sudbury police made short work of an alleged Communist uprising in that city. Proâ€" secutions will follow, and that quite rightly with deportation a possibility in all probability. The virtual admission that Mr. D>â€" Pencier is investigating something of importance is interesting. Likewise the word that costs per ton are exâ€" ceptionally low. The question of colloidal gold and a process for recovering this mysterious material was brought up but failed to elicit anything more than the response that it would be a wonderful thing for the world and for Dome if the matter reached a happy conclusion. Colloidal gold is a substance which is reported by experimenters to exist in most gold ores but which cannot be detected by ordinary assay and extracâ€" tion practices. (It has been rumored that a process for recovering it has been evolved and that Dome‘s general manager is now in Englard looking inteo the matter. A metallurgist of high starding in his profession and who has en very successful in his milling work in Northern Ontario, chatting with The Northern Miner reâ€" cently, said that he was quite sure there was something more than talk to colloidal gold.) The prediction that Dome would have low per ton costs this year is being borne cut, so a director spoken to by The Northern Miner declares. He had no figures to offer but agreed that they were "very low". ‘"Dome is all right. We‘ll have some news for you pretty scon, geod news." He would not say where General Manâ€" ager DePencier is nor what he is aoing. "Too much publicity is not goced when you are trying to negotiate something that you believe will benefit the comâ€" pany. I know the shareholders arse prepared to possess themselves in for a time yet." (From The Northern Miner) "H. P.

This was demonstrated in the case of a Dodge City, Kansas, farâ€" mer, wanted on a liquor charge. Offiâ€" cers had sought him all over the place without avail. They returned for a second search. He could not be loâ€" cated in the house, barn, or any of the outbuildings. A dog was noticed standâ€" ing in the doorway of a small coal shed. He remained there without moving. As the officers were about to leave, one of them became curious. He went to the building. Although a preâ€" vious search there had been futile, he made a better search. The structure contained a small loft which preâ€" viously had escaped detection. The farmer, hiding in this, was captured. G. G. Duncan of the Northern Aerial Minerals Exploration Company also addressed the meeting on the exploraâ€" tions of his company in the Copperâ€" mine area in 1929 and 1930. There were three types of occurrance, that disseminated native copper, amygdaâ€" loidal and sheet copper, he said. One find had been of massive bornite, in a draw having a width of 30 feet, exâ€" tending for 2,000 feet. About half a mile distant there was a vein of masâ€" sive chalcocite. These were only a number of the discoveries made, he stated. "The aeroplane is indispensable for transporting men and supplies and is useful in obtaining an idea of the topâ€" ography and perhaps unusual geologiâ€" cal conditions, but it still remains for the prospector with his canoe to do the real work," he said. He told of 168 claims being staked for copper in this area by his comâ€" pany in the territory in 1930. date little work has been done on any of the discoveries, so that nothing is known of the size of the deposits," he said. The aeroplanes were used for reconâ€" naissance, prospecting, examination of properties and supply of properties. The use of the aeroplane had aided in controlling and expediting the work of prospecting parties, he said. ‘"One season‘s prospecting has demâ€" onstrated a widly mineralized area about which even yet is little known," stated J. P. Norrie, mining engineer of the Dominicn Explorers, Ltd., in reâ€" gard to Great Bear Lakeâ€"Coppermine area in the Arctic circle.
