These three basic indus- tria are mining, the forest indus- tries, and agriculture, though Alex did not, give them in that order, nor did he even list them alphabetically. He was connected with the Abltibl Power and Paper Co., and so may be excused if he felt that the forest industries, especially pulp and paper, should be named first, even in the gold mining town of Timmins. In fact, there does not» seem to be any fair reason why mining in the Porcupine should be confined to gold alone. In this connection, it is inter- esting to note that in the first world War, Alexo, on the Porcupine Branch of thee T. N.O. Railway, contributed a goodly amount of nickel to the. country’s war effort, while during the recent world conflict copper in quan- tity came from the Kamiskotia sec- tion of the Porcupine. It is also inter esting to remember that Hollinger’s yearly production always includes a few thousand dollars’ worth of silver, and, during the recent war, the H01- lnger contributed other by-product minerals to the war needs. Let’s Fix It Postcard from Italy tells of a group “of British tourists enjoying the scenic vieWs of Italy.

Old-time porspectors have always insisted on the presence of many other mineral-s than gold in this area, and often have ventured the opinion that. certain of these minerals were pres- ent in commercial quantity to war- rant development. Of course, they were much more enthusiastic than “at. Copper, nickel, sulphide Ore. hunts and asbestos have been tinned moxe than once. It may the that someone may argue that, granting the presence of other minerals than gold in the Porcupine, then these other minerals must be ln.7erior in quality or quantity or they would be developed on extended scale. The answer to that theory Is the ‘fact that the Porcupine has been “Why on earth,” began the man at the next desk, “do you take time out to buy art thread and linen and need- bles and whatnot for your family?" The Bright Side By Comparison No. 115. ‘Asheutos ln'The Porcupine. then-v As early as 1917, The Porcupine Ad- vance referred with hopeful enthusi- asm to the promising asbestOs proper- .ties in Deloro Township, 3 rew miles from Timmins. One or that refer- ences said: “As a sideline to the great gold industry of this district,‘ there promises to be also a. rich' asbestos industry in Deloro Township. Some of the finest specimens of high-grade asbestos' ever seen in Canada have been taken from a d‘yke that runs northwest and southeast through properties owned by the Slade-Forbes Asbestos Co A. S. Fuller, John Jones. Digby Grimston and Mr. Neill. ” ' The Slade-Fonbes Asbestos ‘00., of Montreal, had machinery for testing. steam-drilling, etc., on the ground at the time, as well as the necessary der- z'icks, cables, etc. During the" winter of 1916-1917 this company shipped only high-grade asbestos. which was hand-picked, but plans were made for the erection of a mill and the devel- opment of ._ :the property on 5. large ssale. with the milling 0. rock as well as the picking of high-grade. In the spring of 1917, there was a serious snow storm that isolated Timmins for five days. At that time work at the asbetos pit had to be discontinued on account of the immense amount of, snow in the pit. In the disor- ganization following tné' end "of the first world war, the development of the Slade-Forbes property appeared to be forgotten. With cost- aid representing over 50% of net income, Pamom‘. Porcu- pine Mines boosted its net 3121501“: to $215,000, equal to 4 .3 cents per share in the six months ended June 30 In the. comparable period of last frear'the company experienced a net loss of $55, 000. Gold production, miscellaneous ,in- come and estimated coat-aid of $130,000 (after taxes). amountéd to $1,171,000 as against $701,0%§m the One vein on the Slade-Forbes was five inches in width, and seemed to be all high- -gr_a‘de'. Some of this asbestos borught‘ as much as $1800. 00' per ton, though the usual price was in the neighborhood of $1100.00 per ton. When shown an “average” sample (not a picked one), one Ontario GOV' comment geologist was quoted as say- ing it was the best sample he had seen coming atom any Canadian asbestos properbf.’ Th'e Digiby "Giimston claims were said to be equally rich in high-grade asbestos. In the late spring of 1917, asbestos experts made an examina- tion of the showings and tests were carired through. The experts were xepox ted as pleased and impressed with what they saw on the property. These Delpro‘ fl were 11% the 1948 period. Leaves I’amour~ Out of The Red ' Net Cost Aid .3"!

The Delom claims here re- ferred to. however. had several rich vetns. The Sladesrorbes had a num- ber of promising veins, in addition to the one; on which meat of the ‘work had hair: done. This latter vein was high-grade stuff as far as it was uncovered, and, still more pleasing, the showings were better below than nearer the top 0: the pit. In one article in reference to. the group of asbestos properties in De-' (low, The Porcupine Advance; after special mention of the Slade-Forbes and Grimstcn claims, said: “Other claims in the district that have the asbestos dyke running through them may prove up good, and, if so, it is likely that the industry will assume important. proportions, asbestos being in- great demand, and with a much- widened market in prospect . . . At least three large vein‘bodies have been lccated on the claims referred to. Two of these veins are on the Digby Grims‘ton property, and one between the John Jones and Digby Grimston claims. In addition,‘ as noted before, other neighboring properties promise good firings in high-grade asbestos At this 'time, it may be of special interest? to recall one of the headings over one of the asbestos articles in The Advance in 1917. That heading read: “Asbestos Mining May Prove Good New Industry .ior the Porcu- pine.” It has to be admitted that the. implied promise of that 32-year-old heading has not been fulfilled to date. But there. is still 'time, and hope, for that fulfilment. In the intervening 5thirty-cd.-d years, the Hollinger alone has‘ pord-uced twice .as much gold as came from the whole far-famed Yukon in double the number of years. “But, yes,'we have no asbes- tos. ‘ We have no asbestos, today!” But with an- immense mill and plant at, or near Matheson, there should today be. some good chance of stirring up interest in the possible asbestos mines of the Porcupine. ' In the ear‘ 4y twenties, Geo. S. Drew of Timmins, had some claims on which there seemed to be an unus- ually rich harvest of high-grade asbesto:. All who saw "samples from that ashes .Os p1operiy were enthus- iastic over the possibilities. Many accidents occur when rela- tively low speeds are entirely “Too Fast for Conditions.” In books of reference, Canada is given as one. of the main sources of supply in the world for asbestos. Canada is named first, followed by South Africa, Russia and the United States, in that order. The Porcupine today is the main source of Canada’s asbestos? In any event, there's no harm in hoping, so long as every- body does a little trying as well. The mill operated practically at full capacity and treated 283,800 tons of are averaging 1,560 tons daily with about half of the ore coming from the west end of the property. In the six months last year the mill handled 194,800 tons and recovery averaged $3.01.
