One is that selective minâ€" ing appears impossible, as is also sortâ€" ing after mining, the other that the Davidson promises to be the lowest grade gold mine in Canada, running approximately $2 a ton. First work indicated the possibility of discarding Mining and crushing units will be oversized, that is far beyond the capaâ€" city of the rod mill. This is to permit the mining and crushing to be done in one shift so that provision of artificial lighting will not need to be extensive. to make on ollicial information. A decision to go ahead with putting mill on Davidson has just been made, and while the programme of mining and construction has yet to be worked out in detail, the hiring of a construcâ€" tion crew is starting at once for the putting up of various buildings, inâ€" cluding the mill. Plans are to have all buildings un and ready for the reâ€" ception of heavy machine pieces when it is possible to transport them in over the road from Elk Lake this coming winter. The millsite was chosen last week when a party of Hollinger offiâ€" cials visited the property. One of the spare rod mills at the mine at Porecupine will be used. While this is good for 600 tons or more on Porcupine ore, its capacity on the hardâ€" er rock of the Davidson Matachewan will likely be considerably less, perhaps 500 tons a day. of The Northern Miner in reference to the Youngâ€"Davidson property at Maâ€" tachewan operated by the Hollinger will be of general interest:â€" Within two weeks Hollinger will start on the big jcb of bringing the Davidâ€" son in Matachewan into production, a task it is expected will be completed some time next April.

Sudbury Star:â€"A tribe of Turks, lost 600 years ago in China, has just come to light. Anyone interested may have the same by paying for this ad. Success in treating ore running oneâ€" tenth of an ounce in gold content will be a great feather in Hollinger‘s cap and, of course, will stir other mining interests into emulation wherever low grade deposits hold opportunity of the necessary broad scale attack. Considering the hard nature of the ore, and the greater mining and millâ€" ing difficulties imposed, the Hollinger conception at Matachewan seems as boid ‘if not boider than the Alaskaâ€" Juneau enterprise. The source of power for the Davidson has not yet been definitely decided. Energy is offered by both Hydroâ€"Elecâ€" tric Power Commission from the Grand Canyon line and also by Northern Canâ€" ada Power. An early decision on this matter is to be expected. It has been pretty well determined that no metallurgical problem of, conâ€" sequence is involved in milling the ore. Just what tonnage the Davidson cperation will work up to remains to be determined. The first milling unit of 500 or perhaps 600 tons will under operation provide data on which to deâ€" cide the most economical scale of operations. While work on the orebody has been pretty well confined to above 200 ft., and to that depth is estimated to contain, say, two million tons, there is the probability, almost certainty, of extension to greater depth. There are also chances of new developments to broaden ore resources, not only in low grade but higher grade as well, as the ning up of the mine proceeds. With only $2 a ton to work on, Holâ€" linger officials are naturally seeking for the most economical mining and milling methods. The orebody is apâ€" proximately 300 by 500 ft. and as far as practicable open cut mining will be carried on. An electric shovel will be used. Costs of 50 cents ton for minâ€" ing and 65 cents for milling are hoped for, which would leave a gocd margin of profit after treatment losses. Comâ€" plete recovery will be made on the spot and extraction should be good. With present price of gold, the two dollar average is raised to three dollars, greatly broadening the margin of probâ€" awhle profit. material carrying very little o and raising the average mi around $2.75 a ton, but more investigation decided against tempt at sorting. CANADA x no gold lhead to intensive any atâ€" L53 sia, negorilations were successfully mde for the release of Mr. Weibe and h‘s family, but not until after a sum ol over $1,400 vas spent in the effort. After 37 days of travel Mr. Weibe and family finally reached Pelee, arriving there on Thanksgiving, which was quite an appropriate date as the entire family were thankful that they had at last escaped from the honds of the Soviet rule, also that both families were finally united after so many years of worry and hardships." Here is the paragraph from The Amâ€" herstburg Echo:â€""After several years ofi unsuccessful negatiations with the Soviet Government, John Weibe, resiâ€" dent ofi Pelee, formerly of Russia, finâ€" ally succeeded, with the help of Capâ€" tain A.

On three different occasions John forwarded the price of transportation, which never reached his brother. Finâ€" ally t (rough the aid of Captain ~low*rs and a fellow British army officer who is statiomned as an agent in Soviet Rusâ€" There is much food for thought in the following paragraph from The Amherstburg Echo. It gives the story of the final escape Oof a family from Russia and their‘ thanksgiving when finally they are safe in Canada. The item makes little comment on the facts of the case but the facts certainly leave much ground for comment. For inâ€" stance, there is the evident anxiety to leave Russia. That tells its own story. Then there is the fact that any talk of Russia freedom is ridiculous when people are not even free to leave. The continual demand for money to arrange for the departure of the family and then the neglect to implement the proâ€" mises made is another feature that has often been charged against Russia but denied by the enthusiasts for the Soviet. This paragraph gives an actual case in point. It might also be emâ€" phasized to those who howl here about Russia and its alleged advantages that there can be no doubt that Canada never attempts to foree a man to stay here if he wants to go elsewhere, unless, of course, he is a criminal.

A multiplicity of narrow flat seams of quartz showing considerable free gold are mentioned in connection with the company‘s work on the Matachewan Consolidated Gold Mines property. The figure is presented in a letter which the company issued last week to shareholders, outlining accomplishments since its inception. â€" Included in thc total are the expenditures of companies which have sprung from Ventures‘ acâ€" tivities: Falconbridge Nickel Mines Limited, Sherrittâ€"Gordon Mines Limitâ€" ed, Sudbury Basin Mines Limited, Coniaurum Mincs Limited, and Beatâ€" tie Gold Mines Limited. Activities Reviewed A cursory review of activities of comâ€" panies associated with Ventures, Limitâ€" ed, is contained in a letter going forâ€" ward to shareholders. Production of nickel in matte at Faleconbridge Nickel Mines has reached a rate of 800,000 pounds per month. Beattie Gold Mines Limited has increased the scale of proâ€" duction to 750 tons per day, mill heads averaging .214 ounces, and tailings .0338 cunces of gold per ton on the first three months‘ production. Expectations arse held that Coniaurum Mines Limited may enter favourable territory for ore in the near future, the shaft having a depth of 3,000 feet and drifting toward the extension of the new vein system on the 1,500â€"foot level, having started at the 3,000. The showing is described as a "strikâ€" ing examuole of the importance of minâ€" ing in helping to carry the financial burden of the country in a time of deâ€" pression.

Control of Gold Value "Because of conditions in this counâ€" try, and because of events beyond outr econtrol in other parts of the world, it becomes increasingly important to deâ€" velop and apply the further measures which may be necessary from time to time to controlothe gold value of our own dollar at home. "Our dollar is now altogether too greatly influenced by the accidents of internattonal trade, by the internal policies of other nations, and by poliâ€" tical disturbance in other continents. Therefore the United States must take firmly in its own hands the control of the gold value of our dollar. This is "Some people are putting the cart before the horse: they want a permanâ€" ent revaluation of the dollar first. It is the government‘s policy to restore the priceâ€"level first. I would not know, and no one else could tell, just what the permanent valuation of the dollar will be. To guess at a permanent gold valuation now would certainly require later changes, caused by later facts. recent speech of President Franklin Roosevelt of the United States in regard to plans for the establishment of price levels and the control of the gold dollar in the USA. has roused special interest in this North Land beâ€" cause of the possible effects of the policy propounded on the price of gold.
