The Haileyburian last week says:â€" “Gonduct-or Arbert Miller, well known T. 8.: N. O. omcial. was taken suddenly in on Monday afternoon. while in charge 9! train No. 46 southbound. He 1a: Ooahrane in his usual health. but later was stricken and a: Englehart he was relieved by Conductor Childer- hose. Mr. Miller received medical at- tention there and continued to his home in North Bay as a passenger. It was believed that he was suffering from Wm: poisoning." TRAIN CONDUCTOR TAKEN ILL AND COULD NOT COMPLETE RUN A timber crib coff-erdam, tightly sheeted on the upstream face. was built across the gorge below the tunnel port- als to divert the river flow through the tunnels and to keep the working site entirely free from water hazard. The oafl'erdam cost over $100,000 and Con- sul Chapman is authority for the state- ment that it is one of the most success- ful ever built. It is set on a concrete mat on the river bed, sealed with con- arete against the bank at both ends and sheeted on the water taoe with two layers of heavy planking with thick fabric between the layers. Burlap bags and baled hay were dropped at the toe to aid silting. sealing the structure so well that pumping was not required. A low crib cofl’erdam was built below the powerhouse“site. The flow of the Abitibi river was diverted through the tunnels on April 1. 1931. and it will have to be shut off from the tunnels soon enough to permit power develop- ment by October 1. The Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission line from Hunta. to Sud- bury cost $2,000,000. COflerdam is Great Success When the. company is ready to de- liver power it will have to close the two de-watering tunnels 1,200 feet long which were driven through solid rock on the west side of the river. That will be easy as provision was made at the upper portals of the tunnels for heavy steel gates. which will be forced down by gravity and power as soon as the plant is ready to operate, and sealed with concrete plugs. The report by Consul Chapman says the estimated horsepower capacity of the plant at 80 per cent. efficiency is: First, 101,200 for the ordinary mini- mum flow of the Abitibl river; and second, 138,820 for the ordinary six months' flow. Power will be carried at 132,000 volts on two steel tower lines from the dam to Hunts, on the Cana- dian National Railway line 10 miles west of Cochrane and 60 miles southâ€"i west of the dam. The commission ther J takes the current 190 miles south t-’ Sudbury. Mr. Chapman thinks therr will be an outlet for power in the dis- trict as well in connection with the new coal and fire- clay discoveries north of the canyon. bio yards. l. . . 4,000 Capacity of concrete-mixing plant per hour. cubic yards . 16C Capacity of concrete-rinsing plant per day, cubic yards, 3,200 Backs Water 20 Miles The power house. the non-overflow section of the dam and the headworks are built in the gorge with a spillway section on the east bank and a non- cverflow a'butment and wing wall on the west.

Webb had showed undue Optimism and an absolute lack of judgment rather than criminal attempt. and might have gone ahead with the scheme had he been financially able to do so. He said that the accused thought he had the right to operate the Webb estate interests in a syndicate. Sincere attempts had been made by Webb to raise the money to make restitution to the eight men, Mr. McMillan said. The facts were that Webb had no property and not even a miner's lic- ense, while there was no custom mill in the vicinity. Crown Attorney At- kin declared. In reply to one of the applicants, he stated, Webb had said that the “asso- ciation" was opening up a small high grade ore vein in the Goudreau dis- trlct. which would run $100 or more to the ton in gold He further stated that there were good camps on the property and sufficient equipment with which to start operations. According to this same statement, operations were to be conducted on a co-operative basis. The ore was to be treated at a. near-by customs mill and 75 per cent. of the returns was to go to the workmen, each of whom was to receive at least $3 a day before the principals in the association took any- thing. An output of 10 tons a day even with a small gang was predicted by To those who answered the advertise- ment, according to the crown attorney. application forms for membership in a. “Co-operative Mining Association" calling for $10 membership fee, were sent out. Applicants were told not to come to the mine until notified, and assured that if their applications were not accepted the fee would be returned. Webb received a total of $80 from eight of these men. all of which he spent in his normal living, Mr. At-kin said. “Wantedâ€"A number of men to work on a small gold operation in the Gou- dreau district; remuneration on the basis of returns received on shipments 7f ore to local custom mill.
