While large freighting planes handlâ€" ing up to three tons pay load are useo in our north country, most of the freight is still handled in generalâ€"purâ€" pose planes of smaller size. As Mr Burchall humorously puts it, ‘"The same aceroplane that today carries a bridal party, tomorrow transports bales of hay or rolls of barbed wire." Still the freighting service by air is already remarkably efficient, provided pay loads can be obtained ‘both ways, and it is only the rather desultory supply of freight in many cases that keeps the« cost rather high. The steadiest air freighting service sc far attained in this country is to the, Great Bear Lake radiumâ€"silver field During 1932 over 400,000 pounds 0o‘ freight and exoress, not including mail. was carried by air in this area.

B. Burchall, of Canadian Airways, Limitâ€" ed, in the November Bulletin of the Canadian (‘Institute of Mining anc Metallurgy under the title "Freighting By Air." Mr. Burchall points out thal Air Transport in North Shown to be Efficient It is difficult to realize that it is only 25 years since the first man "took to the air." Today the aeroplane is comâ€" monplace to most Canadians, and there are actually a number of mining comâ€" munities in remote localities whose exâ€" istence is actually dependent upon aceroplane communication with the railâ€" wavs. The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "Temiskaming and Cobalt Chapters, Royal Arch Masons, are arranging a joint banquet, to be neld in the Masonic Temple, Haileybury, on November 17th, in honour of Dr. C.

Such a roag would be of advantage in relieving the nemployment problem, while as an inâ€" vestment for present and future benefit it is also worthy of consideration Such a road would join up all the North by road. It would open up a new country of unusual promise, with remarkable scenery and game and fish sure to attract large tourist trade. Alâ€" o0 such a road would give needed ‘ransportation facilities to several new mining camps and would give the whole North a notabie advance in deâ€" velopment. At a meeting of the Cochrane Board f Trade last week strong representaâ€" tion was made to the Ontario Governâ€" ment to include in the relief work to be jone this winter the building of a road :sonnecting Norembega and LaReine sast of Cochrane and thus linking up with the road system of Northwestern @Quebec. Such a road it is claimed would be of nctable service to both vochrane and the area of Ontario adâ€" joining NCrthwestern Quebec. Those who have studied the situation agree with the Cochrane Board of Trade in regard to the desirability of the conâ€" struction of the road referred to. Its would be obvious now and the advantage would continue after the a1eed for relief measures will have passâ€" 2d.. It appears to be the sort of necesâ€" ‘ary work that should be undertaken to rovide employment in place of direct relief.

Limited bles were noted along the north and south sides of the Ridout series and along the scuth side of the Swayze serâ€" ies At other points the contact seamâ€" ed to be gradational one passing upâ€" the Ridout and Swayze series. All these structures tend to emphasize the avnitude of the folding whlch charâ€" acterizes the basoment rocks of the Swavze area. â€" Timiskaming Series The above paragraph implies that the varicus bands of sediments in the Swayze area lie stratigraphically above the greenstones. Evidence as to the magnitude of the discordance separatâ€" ing the greenstones and sediments is somewhat conflicting, possibly due in part to the high degree of schisting and faulting along the contacts. Gosd songlomerates containing granite pebâ€" south of east. The axes of both synâ€" clines dip steeply to the north. Beâ€" sides these two main structuralfeatures there are a number of smaller bands of sediments which probably represent infolded remnants of the same age as the Ridout and Swayze series.

The axis of the Swayze syncline strikes apâ€" proximately east and west while that of the Ridout series strikes soemewhat General Geology The above area is underlain by Keeâ€" watin greenstones consisting of basic to acid lava flows, tuffs, etc. The greenstones are traversed from east to west by two bands of rocks essentially sedimentary in origin, and known hitherto as the Ridout series and the Swayze series. The main point of inâ€" terest from the geological standpoint. as shown by the recent work, is the fact that the two series are apparently equivalent in age and that they overlie the Keewatin greenstones. Between the Ridout ser‘es and the Swayze series is a band of greenstones forming an antiâ€"clinal fold. In the northwest part of Halerow township this fold plunges steeply to the west as shown by the fact that sedimentary rocks correspondâ€" ing to the north side of the Ridout series are followed almost continuousâ€" ly around the nose of the anticline to where they joined similar sediments forming the south side of the Swayze series. It was previously established that the Swayze series is synclinal in structure and it seoems quite probable that the Ridout series is also in the form cf a closely folded syncline. The Introduction The geolozical work done the past zeason in the Swayze gold area conâ€" sisted largely of a detailed examinaâ€" tion of the area, a preliminary study of which was made during the summer of 1932. The area includes the townâ€" ships of Halcrow, Denyes, Swayze, Raney and Rollo, the west half of Dore sghips Oof Maicrow, Denyes, Sswayze Raney and Rollo, the west half of Dor township and the north parts of th townships of Tooms, Greenlaw an Cunningham. There is general interest throughout the province in the new Swayze gold area, and naturally particular interest in the Porcupine camp, even though many here may feel that no matter how good Swayze may be there is likely to be better prospects available butl neglected in the proven Porcupin: camp. â€" However, the report covering the geological work done in Swayze disâ€" trict during the past summer should be f special importance to many. The report is by H. C. Rickaby and has b2en given out by the Ontario Dept. of Mines. The report by Mr. Rickaby is as follows:â€" Preliminary Report on Swavze Gold Area Review of the Geological Work Done in New Gold Area During the Sumâ€" mer of 1933, as Reported by H. C. Rickaby, Dept. of Mines. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ects are now be pleased to small bosses of granite and granoâ€" diorite were noted in the townships 0o‘ Rollo, Raney, Halcrow and Tooms. Prospecting Activity During the past season prospecting has been fairly active in the Swayz area, and a number of now dissoverie: of goldâ€"bearing veins have been mad tending to extend considerably the ares: of rocks favourable for gold deposition In the following a few notes will b: given on developments at some of th prospects in a more advanced stag( and on a few of the newer discoveries Kernty Gold Mines, Ltd. The general geology of the Kent: property has been described previousl It consists essentially of an eastâ€"wes! belt of Keewatin andesitic lavas formâ€" ing an anticlinal fold with sediment: on both limbs of the fold. The sediâ€" ments to the south are intruded hb wide dikeâ€"like bodies of porphyry, anc smaller dikes of porphyry and lamproâ€" phyre intrude the greenstones. Th veins belong to the l6ode type or deposit: consisting of a series of parallel vein: or vein systems occurring in the greenâ€" stones, sediments, and intrusives ove: a distance of approximately 3600 fee! in an eastâ€"west direction. Two shaft: approximately 1800 feet aparh ‘have been sunk to a depth of 500 feet anc 1100 feet of lateral work including 45( feet of drifting has been done up t date. The underground work so far i antirely in line with what might be expected in view of the promising naâ€" ture of the surface indications. Ther: appears to be no significant change ir conditions as seen on the surface dowtr to and including the 500 foot level, anc no information has as yet been obtainâ€" ed below the level. Near No. 1 shaf: the contact between the greenstone! on the north ‘and the sediments or the south stands almost perpendicularâ€" ly. The veins on the surface lie well within the greenstones but dip toward the sediments, No. 1 veir nasses at depth from the greenstone: into the sediments but without any marked change in appearance. This vein is, however, nearer the contac than most of the other veins exposed on the surface. Underground work in the next few months will probably afford some important information on the Kenty veins. The plant, now in use, capable of operating three maâ€" chines underground along with the hoisting and cther equipment, is being continued temporarily. . The work is under the direction of Messrs E. T Corkill and M. Williams. This property, staked by Messrs J. ward from flows through tufis to well bedded greywacke or other sediments. However, the general stratigraphic reâ€" lationship of the sediments to the unâ€" derlying greenstones appears to sugâ€" gest the probability that the former are Timiskaming in age. Algoman Intrusives A second point of interest brought out by the past season‘s work is the nature and amount of intrusives of Alâ€" goman age which occur in the greenâ€" stones and sediments. These intruâ€" sives consist of granite, granodiorite. diorite, quartz and feldspar porphyry and lamprophyre. A series of paralle. dikes of quartz and feldspar porphyry occurs in band extending from the northwest part of Halcrow townshiy castward across the north parts 0o: the townships of Halcrow, Denyes Swayze and Dore. These dikes shov widths from a few feet up to 1000 fee or more, striking approximately eas‘ and weost. This band of porphyry lie for the most part within the belt o‘ sediments known as the Swayze serâ€" ies, but other dikes of porphyry, granos>â€" diorite, etc., are of widespread occurâ€" rence in the greenstones and sediment: throughout the area. A number oi , Woman River Syndicate. The property of the Woman River Syndicate of New Liskeard lies in the northwest part of MNallard township on the Woman River. The showing occurs on claim Sâ€"20506 at a falls on the river. It consists of narrow quartz veins and stringers in andesite which is intruded by narrow dikes of porphyry. The comprises a group of 17 claims lying| in the northwest part of Greenlaw| township. Near the centre of claim S-' 23938 a discovery of gold was made early in the present year. The deposit consists of a shear zone in a diorits near the north side of the Ridout sorâ€" les. The diorite is cut by a dike of quartz porphyry from 10 to 25 feet wide striking S. 55° E. and traced for a length of 600 feet. Along the walls of | the porphyry the diorite has been siliâ€"| cified and replaced by carbonates and‘ pyrite. Narrow stringers of quartz carrying considerable chalcopyrite ocâ€"| cur in the schist and this material shows appreciable values in gold. The mineralization is most marked in the sorphyry and the schist immediately adjacent to it. A number of trenches! and test pits have been sunk where the | ground is favourable, showing a length | of approximately 300 feet of mineral-‘ ized schist. Diamond drilling has been| in progress for the last two inonths but resul{s are not yet available. The proâ€" perty ‘s controlled by J. J. Byrne and associar~s and recoent work has been under the direction of R. E. Milier. ; Mallard Township. { Three discoveries of gold have been| made in Mallard township which liosi 12 miles east and slightly south o Swayze townst‘p. | comprise! in the township 23938 a early in consists â€" Sylvanite Gold Mines, Ltd. During the past summer a crew of six men has been prospecting the Sylâ€" vanite group of claims which lies in the western part of Denyes township. In the southeast corner of claim Sâ€" 31131, trenching has uncovered a series of parallel porphyry dikes striking S. 86° E. intruding schistose sediments and The porphyry and schist have been fractured and the fractures filled with quartz heavily mineralized with pyrite and carbonates. One main leader of quartz has been stripped showing a length of approximately 200 feet with widths up to 3 feet. No gold is visible but channel samples taken over 3 foot widths over a length of 160 feet of this vein are reported to show values un to $8.00 per ton in gold. Trenching and stripping operations are still being carried on and the manag:â€" ment is reported to be contemplating some diamond dGdriliing this coming winter. The work is under the direcâ€" tion of bury. Thirteen hundred feet west of No. 1 ‘ein, near the west boundary of the ‘ame claim another vein (No. 2) shows i1 rusty silicified arkose with small quartz stringers occurring over a width f 25 feet. This zone was traced for 15 feet in length striking N. 20° E. It ‘s mineralized chiefly with pyrite and :arbohates and was reported to show ‘ow values in gold. This property was inder option to the Kirkland Hudson 3ay Mines, Ltd., who did some diamona frilling during the winter of â€" 1932â€"33. Thirteen shallow holes were put down, »leven on No. 1 vein and 2 on No. 2. The company abandoned their option ind no further prospecting has been jlone till late in the present summer. Recently another vein has been disâ€" :overed lying near the boundary line setween claims Sâ€"22458 and 22461, about 100 feet north of the south boundary. The vein is somewhat similar to No. 2 zein of which it may be extension. It been stripped for over 400 feet striking north and south and shows an rverage width of 7 feet or so. It conâ€" tains stringers and lenses of quartz mineralized with pyrite, chalcopyrite and some galena. No gold is visible ut pannings ir‘licate fair values. A small crew of men are engaged in stripâ€" ning and trenching under J. E. Derâ€" raugh. and D. Hughes and M. Shunsby in the summer of 1932, lies near the centre of Halcrow township. The showings consist of a mineralized shear zone in an impure quertzite of the Ridout serâ€" ies, striking S. 60° E. and dipping about 80° to the northeast. The shear zone has been traced for approximately 2000 feet in length of which 1000 feet is reâ€" ported to show moderate values in gold ver width up to 7 or 8 feet. The minâ€" consists of pyrite, chalcopyâ€" rite and carbonates. The south wall is a fault with quartzite in contact with greenstone tuffs on the south ide. The values on the main shear zone are reported to be low but a numâ€" ser of cross fractures with quartz ‘arrying considerable pyrite and chalâ€" ropyrite are reported to show .good ‘alues over narrow width. One of hese fractures uncovered this summer ibout 800 feet east of the shaft shows rood mineralization over a length of 200 feet and is reported to show values f $10 to $14 across 3 to 4 foot widths. A slgaft, has been sunk in the main shear zone to a depth of 200 feet and irifting to the east and west is being sarried on. The work is under the lirection of Horace Strong of Haileyâ€" jury who is president of the company. Derraugh Property. This property, staked by J. E. Derâ€" ‘augh of Haileybury, lies near the east joundary of Denye:l township near the t mile post. The country rock consists »f greywacke and quartzite of the sSwayze series cut by numerous dikes of juartz porphyry. The discovery vein s on claim Sâ€"22459, about 10 chains iouth of the No. 1 post and 300 feet ‘rom the east boundary. It consists of juartz lenses and stringers along a ‘ault striking north and south and dipâ€" jing steeply to the east. The quartz stringers and lenses occur over widths ip to 10 feet and are mineralized with ‘arbonates, pyrite, chalcopyrite and a ittle galena. The vein has been stripâ€" jed for a length of approximately 300 ‘eet, No visible gold was noted but surface sampling is reported to have thown gocod values over mining width n some sections. Duncan Campbell «of Hailey est part of * the centre of ry of gold w Mines, by J â€"of 17 made deposit dioritso Hermiston Claims. Half a mile east ¢Zi the Mogridge discovery a somewhat similar showing occurs on ground staked by Messrs Hermiston and Hammers:trom, working in the interests of Horace Strong of Haileybury. Near the east side of claim Sâ€"24851 a mineralized zone is exâ€" posed in two trenches 80 feet apart The strike of the schist is S. 45° E The mineralization occurs over a width of 15 feet, showing lenses of quartz with considerable pyrite. In the southeast trench a dike of felsite 10 feet wid> cuts the greenstone parallel to the schistosity. Two grab samples of the pyritized schist from this find assayed $4.20 and $5.60 per ton in gold. Horwood Lake Several new finds have recently been reported from the area north of the townships of Newton and Dale and west of Horwood Lake. A visit was paid to the claims of the Eclipse Airâ€" ways at the end of the season. The group of claims lies on the Swayzs river immediately north of the north boundary of Newton township. The country rock consists of greenstone with some coarse dicritic phases cut by porphyry dikes. A number of fracâ€" tured zones containing narrow quartz veins and stringers have beon exposâ€" ed by trenching on these adjoining claims. The veins are mostly either flat lying or dip at low angles and are mineralized with pyrite and a little chalcopyrite. One vein from 6 to 8 inches wide and exposed for 30 feet in length showed some native go‘ld and a number of these small veins are reâ€" ported to show gold in panning. Conclusions. The past season‘s work in Swayze although failing as yet to prove up large deposits of commercial grade, gives considerable encouragement in that conditions favourable for gold deâ€" position exist over a wide area. Th country is rather difficult to prospect since the overburden is fairly heavy. Geological conditions both from a largest of the quartz veins widths up to 3 feet and had been stripâ€" ped for a length of 20 feet. The quart: is heavily mineralized with pyrite. Nt gold was visible. A channel sampl« across 3i feet was reported to have asâ€" sayed $5.00 per ton in gold. A grak sample from this vein assayed $6.80 pe: ton in gold. Across the river, approxâ€" imately 400 feet west, a trench show: similar conditions, viz., a narrow porâ€" phyry dike cutting schisted greenstont with some quartz and pyrite. The property was visited in May of this summer, since which time considerable further work has been done, but th« results are not known. Mogridge Claims. This property, staked by Messrs Mogâ€" ridge, McLeod, Farland and Gauldie lies in the centre of Mallard township on the Opeepeesway river* The disâ€" covery lying near the N.E. corner 0o: claim Sâ€"24798, cccurs in an area 0| schisted greenstone and tuffs. The strike of the schist is S. 45° E., and the dip vertical. The gold cccurs in a siliâ€" cified and carbonated zone in the schist, the zone being parallel to the strike of the schistosity. Very little vein quartz is present. The schist is heavily mineralized with pyrite with 2 little chalcopyrite. The mineralizec zone has been traced for a length of 500 feet showing widths to 30 feet. The showing has recently been dGiaâ€" mond dGdrilled by N. A. Timmins Inc Exploration Co. Five hundred fset of drilling in 4 short holes was done ove:! a length of 520 feet.
