When compared with the fever- ish activity of past years, the pace of exploratory work in the territories this summer is slow said Dr. John McGlyn, district geologist of the department of mines and technical surveys. Little interest is shown in uranium and there is no gold ex- ploration. Metals exploration in the Precambrian is concentrated mainly on base metals. Distance, climate, tri rta- tion, lation and power--these are the factors which govern the speed of development in a vast hinterland. The problem of heating and wer production in this land of ong winters and low tempera- tures could be solved by atomic power plants, small enough to be moved easily into isolated prop- erties. The value of the airplane in moving large tonnages of supplies into the Arctic has been demon- strated in the construction of the Distant Early Warning line of radar stations along the 70th parallel of latitude.

PROMISING PROSPECTS "But you ain't seen nothing yet," said one grizzled prospector as he brought to the assay office samples from claims he had staked. "There's still plenty of chances for a prospector to make a fortune." This summer the clatter of diamond drills probing promis- ing mineral deposits is shattering the stillness of the barrens within 50 miles of the Arctic Ocean.
