In any event the present work on these placer claims will be of the reports of placer claims in the Matheson district, but though a large number of these placer claims have been staked and recorded, there has been practically no work that would rightly test out the properties. The heavy overburden of sand and muck has been the great drawback. Then again, under the overburden of sand there is a layer of gravel. The gravel carries values, but it is at bedrock that real placer mining would be profitable. The work, however, in the Mathes» district has not yet got down to bedâ€" rock. It is hoped now to change this situation. For some months past Mr. Neh Faulkenham has been sluicing off the sand and muck on his placer claims in McCool township. He has got down to the stratum of gravel, and promises look good now. The gravel runs from 50c to $1.00 per yard in gold. The gold, of course, is fine, but by the use of a sluice box it will be possible to recover the gold as a paying venture. Sluice boxes were taken in last week and everything made ready for work to start this week. Mr. Faulkenham does not know how far it may be to bedrock, but if the gravel continues to pan out around $1.00 a yard in gold, and if the gravel is not unusually deep the venture will be good one. In any case it will pay for the work as it goes along and if the bedrock is struck at a reasonable depth with the sediment un Us Placer Mining Near .: Matheson Years Ago 4 During the past few weeks there have e been several references to placer gold in the North, and in this connection the following item from The Advance of Aug. 23rd, 1922 Late Neh Faulkenham â€" Carried â€" on Operations on the Sanrd Plnins Near Matheson Ten Years Ago.

Mr. Faulkenham carried on his placer I mmmg for several months, and to quote ‘his own words:â€""We made fair wages out of the work anyway, as well as paying expenses of other kinds." After the work had been in progress for a ’time Mr. Faulkenham decided to stop l it, on account of various facts. One of | these was the difficulty in securing iwater for the sluicing. Another was | the idea that dredging and other maâ€" chinery that would require considerable capital was necessary to carry on the work with any satisfaction. Perhaps, the chief reason, however, was that lbettel money could be made with less ’work in other lines. Consequently, ’ placer mining near Matheson was dropeâ€" ped, but there are many oldâ€"time prosâ€" pectors who know the district who will 'regret that work has not been revived at placer mining in the area and who | hope to see such work taken up in some time or another., gent call from R.

Probably an imâ€" properly closed door in the stove 01 some other cause resulted in the cabin taking fire. In any event the fire al the cabin seems to have happened while both men were sleeping and they were likely overcome by the smoke and fAames before they were roused to their danger. Despatches from Kirkland Lake telling of the tragedy note an odd coincidence. Constable Evans for some time was stationed at Kapuskasing and knew the two men there.

The discoveries are in a belt of Keeâ€" watin greenstones and Timiskaming sediments, having a length of about 60 milés so far mapped. The geological party in charge of Mr. Rickaby this summer, is mapping this belt to the westward of Swayze township. The country rock appears to be a! schisted andesite which has been siliâ€" , cified and is intruded by dikes of greyi and reddish feldspar porphyry. The, schisted band is about 300 feet wide, is ; highly impregnated with rusty weatherâ€" | ing carbonate, together with lesser| quantities of pyrite. A mass of porâ€" phyry several chains wide lies imâ€" mediately to the southâ€"west of the showing. A narrow diabase dike parâ€" allels the vein aud cuts across it in one place. A band of sediments including conglomerate and grkose lies along the| north side of the group. The department has been further advised that there is considerable acâ€" tivity in Chester and Bennowsiss townships about fifty miles in a southâ€" easterly direction from Swayze townâ€" ship, and in the last few days an inâ€" teresting discovery has been made in Halcrow township adjoining Denyes on the west. On August 24th thirtyâ€"six claims were recorded from Halcrow township and on August 25th sixteen Claims. * ce o (By Hon. Chas.

Denyes townâ€" ship adjoins Swayze township on the west, where the Brettâ€"Trethewey disâ€" covery was made last autumn. Mr. H. C. Rickaby, geologist with the departâ€" ment, reports that the showing conâ€" sists of lenses and stringers of quartz more or less parallel in a rusty schist and can be traced for a distance of approximately 220 fest. The quartz lenses show widths up to 3 feet. The quartz is milky white in colour and well fractured and alon‘xg the fractures fine native gold is visible. Some pyrite is also present. On one trench, there are two lenses of quartz each about 18 inches wide with about 15 feet of schist between them, well mineralized with pyrite and showing small stringers of quartz. 3 2cannot be located by view of the fact that t not seen the accused n ings with him in the n nothing to connect the the case, and the chare mone: cently Miniature Gold Milf Found by the Police: Roliers, Crucibles and Other Apparatus for Treating Gold Ore Found in Local Business Place.
