MIMJIaltumh nommtanonmo This week just before going to pron The AcMmoe received the following re- port on the towmmpa of Bunnockburn, Blacks. Argyle and Monti-one. in the western part of the new Maugham gold area. as prepared by H. 0. Rick- uby. of the Ontario Dept. oi Mines:â€" Thls area embraces the townships of Monti-use. in the west put of the Ma.- tachewan district. The geology of these townships was done by H. c. Cooke of the Dominion Geological Survey and shown in the map accompanying his report (Mom. 115) issued in 1919. In the fall of 1930, a discovery of gold was made in the northwest part of Bannockburn township by prospectors very encouraging results. Following the discovery of the Ashley vein a great many claims were staked in the sur- rounding area. and considerable sur- face prospecting has been done on a number of the groups of claims. During the past summer this area has been studied again. particular at- tention being paid to the rocks and rock structures favourable to the de- position of gold. For the most part the work tends to confirm Cooke’s report and map in its general geological fea- tures. The oldest rocks of the area consist of volcanic flows and tufls of basic to acid charactei Overlying working‘ for the Mining Corporation of Canada. This discovery, now known as the Ashley mine, has been actively developed during the past year, with these volcanics in the southern part of HOT AND COLD WATER Phone 32 Timmins ‘ Timmins and lntrusives nor quartz veins were ob- served in the former, while in the lat- ter the quartz veins showed little sign of mineralization. The northwestern part of Montrose is mostly covered by sand plains, while the northern part of Argyle ls swampy or drift-covered and unfavourable (or prospecting. sists of basic lavas and tufts which have been subjected to much Algoman igneous activity. shown by the presence of bosses and dikes of granite and por- phyry. Apart from this the only dis- tinguishing feature of the rocks at the Ashley mine is the structural one in the form of the fault. There is no reason to suppose that similar struc- tures may not be found in other parts of the areas. viz., Bannockburn and Another vein, known as the Garvey vein, on the claims of the Mining Cor- poration to the northwest of the Ash- ley, occurs also in the lavas striking approximately east and west and dip- ping at a low angle to the north. It shows considerable native gold and re- sembles the Ashley vein in its general appearance. Some shallow diamond- drill holes have been put down to in- tersect the vein, but without conclusive results up to the present. The Davidson claims in the south- east part of Hincks township are at present- under option to the Mining Corporation. The original showings on this property consisted of large chunks of vein material. similar to that of the Ashley. in the form of. float. Surface Itrenching and stripping show this )float to occur scattered over an area @900 feet long in an east-west direction by 400 feet wide. The management have been endeavouring by diamond; drilling and trenching to locate "the source of the float. Up to the end of the field season no very definite results had been obtained. One vein had been located ,by trenching, but its size and position did not appear to indicate thatitwouldhavebeenthesourceof the widely scattered float. Three miles? to the west of the Davidson showing is} another group of claims belonging toi Messrs Oliver and Tough where some- what similar float quartz was found over a smaller area. Considerable surface trenching was done to locate its source without success. From the standpoint of prospectors and mining companies Operating in the area, the northern part of Bannock- burn, the south half of Argyle, the most of Hincks township, exclusive of the area covered by Cobalt series, is good prospecting ground since it con- shows anumberotmull swab” partofnincks.

The Ashley vein occurs in volcanic flow rocks of andesitic to basaltic com- position. These flows show pillow lavas alternating with fine and coarse grain- ed phases lying in bands with a gen- eral northwest and southeast strike. The controlling factor of the vein from a structural standpoint is a north- south fault. which has been the chan- nel for 'the ore-bearing solutions. The fault and vein dip about 50 degrees W.. and have been traced by diamond- drilling for a distance of 1400 feet. In- trusive rocks consisting of narrow dikes of porphyritic granite, diorite and lamprophyre, cut the basalt in a (firec- tion about N. 50 degrees W. They may ben seen in the footwall rocks, but it is not known if they continue in . the hanging-wall side of the fault. An inclined shaft was sunk to a depth of 250 feet and somewhat over 300 feet of drifting done on each of the 125 and 250-foot levels. The vein on the lower letter was strong and indicated good values over mining widths. 0n the upper level it was more erratic, but gave fair values over considerable lengths. On both levels the north face was in good ore, but at the south end, owing probably to complications in the faulting, the drifts had got off the vein. The management is at present en- gaged in sinking to 500 feet, in order to examine the vein on the 375 and 500- foot levels. m PORCUPINE ADVANCE, mgmys, ONTARIO “Whether our pram has been wise or not in giving "lots or publicity to lot- teries in other countries, with the usu- al emphasis on lucky Canadian hold- emdwmmngtmkmtheresultisto quate projects to care for the, unem- playedandtheneedywmndbegotun- been a‘ considerable letdown m the brave words of some politicians this past summer. to the effect that ade- eaSt, they will have to enter Uncle Sam's territory west of Lake Superior. “The quick and easy overdsubscription of our national service loan at the end of November has proven that funds are readily” obtainable within our own coun- try for the present needs, abnormal ‘as these needs may be.

As the 159th Major Pnllen in Town in «tenets of Alexa Coal me Northern News last week has the following editorial article on the seriousnm of the unemployment pro- blem 1n the North: â€" Mao nickel mine It Alexa. Ont... but mammdeMma 'I‘immins, was some twenty years ago when there was nothing but bush on the present location of this thriving city. Since that day he notes, of course, very remarkable changes in this part of the North, and especially in the town of Timmins. Indeed, since his visit of six or seven years ago he says the progress of the town is really wonderful. Mr. Pullen still maintains a very lively interest in the North Land and is delighted at the progress made by the whole North Country and espe- cially by centres like Timmins. On his visit here Major Pullen was in town in the interests of the Alexa Coal Company, Limited, of Alexo, Al- berta. This company mines the noted Alexo and Acorn Alberta coals. The use of the word, “Alexo” bears out the reference to Mr. Pullen’s continued thought of the North where for years his heart and energy were given to another Alexa, the Alexa in the Por- cupine area, where nickel was mined As one of the 6mcers oi the Alexa Coal Company, Mr. Pullen is an enthusiast on Alexo Alberta cool. He says it is the best domestic coal mined in Can- ada, and that it has displaced anthra- cite coal almost completely in Mani- toba. Alexo coal, he says, is very clean burning and does not soot up the house or the heating apparatus. Its low moisture content indicates that the coal stores well during the summer months. Its low percentage of- ash saves unpleasant labour. Its high carbon content proves its lasting qualities, while it also lights quickly at low tem- perature and burns with intense heat, Itisgenerallyrecognizedasthebest Alberta coal mined.
