Mining and Timber "Travel" in the North Hudson Gives Example of How Transportation Proâ€" blem is Attacked. (By R. S. Williams, in Canada Lumberman) Hudson, Ontario, up to sixe years ago wasn‘t much more than a flag stop or. the main line of the Canadian railâ€" road. Today it is the hub of a vast whee! of airplane, tractor, train, and barge transportation : lines extending themselves into the mining country and lumber camps, most of which have blossomed since the price of gold was bocosted to $35 an ounce. M The development of gold mines and iumber camps in the country to the north of Hudson and extending fanâ€" wise ecast and west is nothing less than startling to those who have not kep! pace with the activities of this section. It has been known for years that gold was to be had in the treeâ€"clad hills to the north, but development was so exâ€" pensive under old methods that little was done until the increased price of gold stimulated the operators. A conâ€" comitant development that has assisted materially in effecting steady and economical transportation of equipment to the mines and lumber camps is the crawler tractor. Transportation to Mines The entire country around Hudson is so interlaced with lakes that surveying any sort of allâ€"weather roads is proâ€" hibitive from the standpoint of exâ€" pense. Looking down on this region from a plane 5,000 feet high, it apâ€" pears that there is almost no land at all. The country seems to be entirely water, yet the truth is that very few of the many lakes are connected deeply encugh so that freight boats can travel from ore to the other. Transportation from the railroad to the mines thus becomes a vital problem. Because of the absence of rcads and the multitude of lakes, it is only during the winter that heavy freighting can be done. Then the surface of the lakes is frozen to a safe depth to support the huge crawler tractot trains composed of loaded sleighs. These trains, made up of International Diesel Tractors and from four to six sleighs, weigh between thirty and fifty tons. The local term for these trips is a "swing." Just what the significance of this term is no one seems to know, but all those who have to do with the operation refer to the tractor train and its trip cither to or from the mines as a "swing." Because of the unusual conditiors encountered. it has been necessary for the International Harvester Company to spend a great deal of time and money developing special equipment caliculatâ€" ed to overcome the peculiar difficulties and Oobstacles that are found in this 0440 % 8 % 4404 444 46 000:00§000:0§§0:00000000fl For instanc "slush." ‘The from eighteen which is hea snow, combine tractor trains hour, bears d ice sufficientl Phone 32 64 Spruce St. South Timmins 0000908408484 4848064464484 4404844844444 44446444 44046640444 044 nour, bears down on suriace ice sufficiently so that water is up through cracks to form pools of the ice but under the snow it remains unfrozon regardless temperature because of the prC insulation of the snow blanket. From Hudson to Mines Trips from Hudson to the various mines consume from forty hcurs to a week, depending on traveling conditions, There are no roads whatsoever,. and the trains keep to the lakes excepting where it is necessary to portage over weoded ridges from one lake to anâ€" other. The only cther means of transportaâ€" tion in this country is by airplane. These are used for passengers, mail, and tractor tri customary expert to remedy t possible d possible delay. Lumbering operations have followed in the wake of the mining developâ€" ment. ‘This is another industry that would be seriously handicapped withâ€" out the aid of the efficient crawler tractor, which makes its own trail and is not dependent on surveyed roads or Ingenious Housewife Can Modernize Old Furniture the open highway.
