-- - THURSDAY, MARCH 20th, 1952 THE HAILEYBURIAN Page Three Annual Ice Contest Invites Your Guess on Lake Opening The Haileyburian's annual guessing contest on the date of the ice leaving Lake Temiska- ming is. again open to readers The origin of this early feature of the paper has been lost in the mists of time and no one living in the community at the present time knows just when it started but the records of the past fifty- eight, years are intact, with the earliest date given at 1893. Rules governing the contest are simple. Just fill out the coupon provided below and mail it to The Haileyburian Office. The closing date was set when the ice went out on April 9th, 1945. Entries must reach the office or be post- marked not later than that date. The prize is a year's susbeription to The Haileyburian. A record of dates over the 58 years is given below as a guide to those entering the contest. It will be noted that the earliest date for the opening is-April 9, 1945, and the "latest. May 22sd,. °226, so. there is a wide choice. The freeze- up occurred on December 12th last year, which usually indicates an early opening. Yur guess is as good as your neighbor's and little can be gained by.waiting, so get your entry in now.

Hellens Reviews Cobalt Comeback at Mining Meeting (Continued from Page 2) area of 50 square miles, the geo- logy is similar tothe central part of the Cobalt camp--gently dip- ping cobalt sediments resting on Keewatin lavas and intruded by the Nipissing diabase sill. This sill is largely eroded, leaving the lower contact area exposed, Ex- ploration has been hampered due to the fact that 80% of the favor- able area is covered with over- burden. One major mine, the Casey Cobalt, was discovered and worked, but the balance of the area can be classed as unexplored. Overburden has not stopped de- velopers in other mining camps. This area should be re-examined in the light of present day explor- ation, knowledge and methods. Bucke-Lorrain Valley This valley extends from the 10th concession of Lorrain town- ship north for over three miles through the village of North Co- balt and the town of Haileybury. It varies in width from one-quar- ter to one-half miles. Geological conditions for the deposition of silver and cobalt are good. Exploration has been hamper- ed by heavy overburden. How- ever, a limited amount of drilling in the centre of the area discover- ed the Harrison-Hibbert Mine which is now in production. At least 75% of this valley remains to be explored. Gowganda The deposits in this section of the cobalt silver area occur main- ly within the Nipissing diabase sill. Ore shoots are controlled by flat faulting. Detailed structural geology followed up by aggres- sive exploration programs, has located substantial silver deposits for Siscoe Metals and the adjoin- ing Castle Trethewey property. New Morrison Mines, to the south is now under active devel- opment and a substantial amount of silver ore has already been outlined. A considerable part of the Gowganda camp has not re- ceived a similar type of organiz- ed, well fiananced, aggressive pro- gram of oxplorationand develop- ment. Much ground remains to be explored. Peterson Lake Area The favorable lower diabase contact zone embraces the area underlain by the Peterson and Cart Lakes, and including adja- cent parts of the Nipissing. O'Brien, and Tri-Nova properties A comparatively large, untested lower diabase-Keewatin and dia- base-sedimentary rock contact zone, which is favorable to the occurrence of major silver-cobalt ore deposits remains to be explor- ed, lying within the more central- ly productive part, of the Cobal? area.

The Frontier co- balt ore averaged 12% cobalt in comparison to about 9% in Cole- man twnship. This area has a considerable number of known and assumed fault zones, largely untested, but regarded as favor- able for the occurrence of cobalt and silver, The New Lake Basin Approximately 4 miles south- east of the town of Cobalt, a roughly elliptical shaped mass ot Keewatin lavas and sediments 3 miles long and over a mile wide rests on the Nipissing diabase sill The bed of New Lake is in the center of this mass, and from the results of diamond drilling on the Mayfair and Silver Lake proper- ties, it has been indicated that the Keewatin is thicker towards the center of New Lake, giving the Keewatin a basin shape. The area has been named the New Lake Basin. Fourgmajor producers have been found on the fringe of this area. The Temiskaming Mine and the Beaver Mine, which were located during the early days of mining, and more recently, the Silver Miller and the Cobalt Lode. Over 26 million ozs. of silver have al- ready been mined from this area, yet none of the oreshoots out- cropped on surface. The only in- dications were strong calcite veing containing smaltite. When it is considered that the Keewatin rocks reach a depth of over 750 feet in the centre of the mass and that silver oreshoots seldom reach a distance of more than40C ft. above and below the contact of the diabase, the possibilities for exploration are apparent, but over 70% of the basin still remains to be tested. Consider for a mo- ment what the situation would have been inthe Cobalt area if no Nels. Stewart tells You | HOW TO WATCH _ AND ENJOY HOCKEY!
