THURSDAY, MARCH i8TH. 1933 Oldâ€"time residents of Cobalt will remember the trainloads of expensive coal that poured into the camp to run the compressors, in the silverfield‘s first flush of production. The cost of making energy by steam proved high, and several people almost simultaneously conceived what was then the novel idea of supplying electric power to the young field. Also, at about the same time, an unusual method for making compressed air naturally was conceived. â€" This meant that four power plants were established to serve the Cobalt ficld. _ Competition and duplication prevented any of these groups making a success of their efforts and finally they were merged into one company. However, other fields have come forward, and if in their carly days their advance was slow their adult life has proved large. Perhaps a review of the power history of the Kirkland Lake camp will assist toward an appreciation of the manner in which the Carada Northern Power system has built up, step by step. People who were early in Kirkland Lake will remember the excitement that reigned upon the arrival of power from the little 1,000â€"h.p. plant at Charlton. It was a great day; newspapers carried columns of stories about the electrification of the young field. â€" This first power went to the Toughâ€"Oakes Mine, and this illustrates the vagaries of power supply, for this mine has closed down several times during its checkered carcer. The decline that has occurred in Cobalt has been repeated in Gowganda, and again in South Lorrain, where toâ€"day the Power Company has no mining customers. â€" In these fields is pictured the other side of the business of supplying power to minés. There is an impermanency to the most glorious of mining fields, striking in contrast with the scttled demand of a metropolitan industrial area. The field grew slowly. It was six years after the beginning of production before Lake Shore got up to 100 tons daily milling tonnage. However, it presently became apparent that other sources of current should be tapped. The Power Company took a long chance and built a transmission line from Cobaltâ€"the wisdom of which was questioned by many as the future of the Camp was by no means assured. But as the mines worked downward they revealed larger and still larger ore resources, and the Power Company kept pace by bringing in new supplies of energy, until toâ€"day the field is served by no less than five transmission lines, two from Cobalt, two from the Quinze, and one from Indian Chutes. _ The once little Lake Shore mine has become a user of over 10,000â€"h.p. As a matter of fact, the way the power supply of the camp developed, has proved a great asset to the field.. Kirkland Lake is toâ€"day not devendent unpon a single line; five lines and seven power houses are merged and smoothed into a constant, even, ample fiow of cnergy. Today, and regroetfully, mining activity in Cobalt has shrunk to small proportions. _ The miles and miles of air pipelines, that have always caught the visitor‘s eye as an outstanding feature of the camp are virtually worthless. They represent a tremendous investment that would have enjoyed the success its engineering ingenuity deserved if Cobalt had had the perâ€" manency of an industrial city.
