. THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. SATURDAY. MARCH 28, 1931 ~.. PROSPECTORS ARE HUNTING FOR GOLD -_-- v ------ YS OSE «. Lack of Capital Brings Crude Methods Into Operation Regina, Sask, Mar 28.--Pros- pectors of Northern Saskatchowan and Manitoba are panning gold for profit 'and the search for gold in the northern portions of these prairie provinces has taken on new interest. Lack of capital, however, is sorely handicapping development and as a result the methods used are crudely primitive. With home made machinery quite a number of miners are averaging $25.00 and more a day 'in some of these north- ern properties. Saskatchewan and Manitoba never have revealed any gold pros- pect of the Nevada or Klondike type but recent interest in the world gold situation has turnad prospectors and mining companies . to new efforts to locate and devel- op high grade deposits. Beaver Lake, close to the Mani- toba horder, was the scene of a gold rush in 1914 and men mushed in from Prince Albert and Saska- toon that winter and started a boom settlement. As the war con- tinued attention was turned to cop- per deposits at the Mandy mine, in the adjoining region, and gold in- terest lagged. In recent months interest in the Beaver has revived. Herb Lake, in northern Mani- toba is another gold prospect that has witnessed considerable devel- opment. Beaver avd Herb areas are possibly the twy best gold prospects in close to tha railways in northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Extent of the ore hod- fes never has been proven. Further afield large explora- tion companies have found large gold deposits on the rim of Sas- katchewan. This small scale mining, al- though profitable to a degree, is not as lucrative as capital invest- ment might make it, Small crewe are at work in the Herb Lake dis- trict. With capital to develop new prospects in this northern district, it is believed the process could be made a highly profitable one. SHOOTING WILD 'BEASTS BY CAMERA F. R.

Modern «furniture | conveniences pre- dominate, and thus the individual or family seeking a country. vacation find golf, tennis, hiking Swimming sailing, canoeing, motor-boating an dancing for their amusement, apart from a wide variety of fishing, which may be carried out, either in the vicinity of the camps themselves, or back in the hinterland, with com- petent guides, who also act as servants. 'On the main trans continental line of the Cana« dian Pacific Railway, three such camps are found in the Province of Ontario. At French River, 216 miles north of Toronto, within a stone's throw of therailwaystation,there is a well-found camp, whichoffersmuskellunge and great northern pike to the fisherman.

"They cannot under- stand that I should travel many weeks to pitch my camp in one spot, go off six miles in one direc- tion, stalk a herd of game and then turn a handle in a box pointed at the game; then go off another six weeks In another direction to shoot meat for the pot." Holmes said he could not express the joy he found in filming wild beasts and studyins their Dabits, "I have proved that animals do not drink only at dawn and dusk, .as Is supposed,' he said, "'nuc that drink at any time of ile da; I is only to ayoid man that they have | taken to these hours.

True, they often take fright if you raise your arm when two miles from them, for they de- tect movement at great distances; but their optic lenses do not seem to have any analytical power. They will look into a photographer's 'hide-up' and gee the lens of his camera. But they will not see the camera behind it or the photograph- er, "I have evidence that animals can 'talk' to each other.

From an artistic standpoint they are some- thing of a risk. Nevertheless their virtues are such that we would not willingly do without them, Although there are many varia- tions, there are only some six or cight fundamental styles of dormer windows. The ordinary gable roof type is the most usual, and after this the hip-roof, snubbed gable, and shed roof styles. The semi-circular the eyebrow, and the arched dormers are somewhat less general but in their place highly attractive. 'The eyebrow dormer, by 'the way in which the roof curves over it, is reminiscent of the old English cot- tages and the manner in which the overhanging thatch of the roof was sometimes lifted and curved at the edge to allow a window in the wall beneath, It is used primarily for ventilating and lighting an attic space, If the dormer is tall and narrow, round-arched but with no angle be- tween the side wall and the arch , it is sometimes referred to as the prffirie schooner type; easily enough accounted for considering the shape of these oldtime conveyances. Some times the roof is brought so low on the wall that the second storey windows break the cornice line," extending upward to form small dormers. When well executed, these give great distinction. The most glaring fault of dormers on modern Dutch Colonial houses is their large size, because of which they give the appearance of overs balancing the woof. This is particul- arly true where the outer wall of the dormer is merely an extension of the first storey, across which runs the line of the eaves. When handled with skill and dis- crimination, dormers of two differ- ent styles may be used effectively on the same house. The cutin or recessed dormer, beside being com- paratively inconspicuous, permits longer windows than does any other type of dormer unless it be out of all proportion.--Copyright 1931.
