Consolidated West Domeâ€" Lake elssed its mill during the yeai and turned attention toward lateral wouk at the lower levels of the main workâ€" ings, and, also, toward exploration from the old 300 ft. West Dome shaft. Ankerite worked during the year at Ottawa, 22nd December, 1927. STOCK of this Company has bee: declared payable January 1l6th, 1928 to Sharecholders of record at the closc of business December 31st, 1927. By order of the Board, JOHN RANKIN, Secretaryâ€"Treasurer. Notice is hereby given that a Div dend of Fifty Cents (50c) per shar: upon the NOâ€"PARâ€"VALUE COMMOA® outlook for 1928, Melntyre and Dome will each be able to distribute bonuses in addition to current rate of diviâ€" dends. Melntyre is to establish new high tonnage records in 1928, and with the further likelihood of construction of an additional mill. The year 1928 is the period for which officials have planned big things for Melntyre. The new 4,000 ft. shaft is now fully eonditioned. A mill of 500 tons daily capacity is being erected on Coniaurum, and may be ready for operation by early in the coming summer. In the meanâ€" time, the results of development to 2,000 feet in depth suggest a medium erade ore which should show a moderâ€" Tuil than was the case a year ago. Everywhere in the Poreupine disâ€" trict there are indications of dividends being maintained. While Dome made eonservative distributions during 1927 it is to be noted that during the year the dividends from Hollinger and Mcelntyre were at the highest point so far reached.

Not only this, but while Melntyre, Dome, Lake Shore, and Teckâ€"Hughes are each proâ€" ducing about $11,000 daily at present, it is interesting to find good prospects in each case for imvortant increases.

From the results of his long and unâ€" biased investigations, he reported in the aboveâ€"mentioned article, in comâ€" paring the three classes of electrical prospecting: ‘The inductive method is thus better able to distinguish beâ€" tween the enormous conductivity difâ€" ferences between ores and cover and the far lesser variations occurring in barren ‘«Mr. (MceGregor we assume to have had the aboveâ€"mentioned training and experience, as he has so willingly acâ€" cepted the role of reviewer for this subject and it is interesting to comâ€" pare his deductions with those of a very wellâ€"known physicist, of broad experience, Dr. Max Mason, president of the University of Chicago, who recently published an article referring especially to electrical methods and prospecting in the Engineering Mining Journal of November 12th and 19th, 1927. We refer to this article in the above magazine, entitled ‘Geoâ€" physical Exploration For Ores.‘ This article, written by Dr. Mason, repreâ€" sents the views of an unbiased phyâ€" sicist whose names bears considerable ‘‘In a recent article in the Canaâ€" dian Mining Journal, Mr. J. C. Mcâ€" Gregor attempted to review the past of electrical exploration in Eastern Canada from the viewpoint of a general criticism of the various methods applied, and the results obâ€" tained therefrom. In making an atâ€" tempt to ecritically review electrical prospecting, it should be required, of course, that the reviewer should have had a sufficient training in the art or in the physiecs connected with the art to intelligently understand the prinâ€" ciples involved and it should be exâ€" pected further that the reviewer should have had a broad experience with all the methods of electrical prosâ€" pecting if he is to intelligently compare the results of the various methods and further to comment on the value of electrical prospecting to the mining world. ‘‘Electrical exploration, which is one form of geophysical exploration, has become increasingly important in the past few years, and there are several companies who are offering their services to the mining world. ‘*‘Geophysical exploration for ores is a subject which is becoming inâ€" creasingly important to the mining world, and one which is engaging the attention of all mining engineers and others who are earnestly engaged in the development of mining properties. REPLY TO GRITIGISM Of ELEGTRICAL PROSPECTING Last week The Advance published an article in which Mr. James C. Meâ€" Gregor, geologist and engineer, of the Amulet and Area mines, made critical comment on electrical prospecting. Mr. McGregor suggested that electriâ€" cal surveys ‘had not located aâ€"single oreâ€"body in Quebec, and that the chances were about one to a thousand of them doing so. Mr. MeGregor adâ€" mitted that his remarks were likely to create a storm. The first breeze in this storm was in the form of a reply from Mr. E. H. Guilford, chief engiâ€" neer of the Radiore Co. So that readers of The Advance may have the other side of the question the article by Mr. Giulford is given herewith below : Engineer of Radiore Co.. Quotes Authorities and Cases to Show Value of Method. This deduction is at variance with this r to comâ€" ose of a of broad ‘*‘The Radiore Company does not desire to enter into a controversy with Mr. MceGregor, but they do desire to point out that Mr. MeGregor, in ‘*‘Dr. Mason further states: ‘Alâ€" though physical exploration for ores is a scientific development which can claim only a short history, its econoâ€" mic value has already been demonâ€" strated in many areas. The present accomplishments and technique in this field warrant serious consideration by mining men in laying any sound policy and programme of ore prosâ€" pecting . When conservatively and intelligently applied, in regions suited to their nature, I believe that physical prospecting methods will amply repay investments.‘ ‘*This, then, is the finding of a phyâ€" sicist who is of sufficient experience and reputation to ‘be the president of Chicago University and his words bear weight and are entitled to the consideration of all thinking mining men. ‘*In summing up his fiindings from the result of several years‘ investigaâ€" tion with all types of electrical methods of prospecting, Dr. Mason states: ‘No physical method detects ore, but only some physical characterâ€" isties usually, but not excelusively associated with ore.‘ Electrical prosâ€" pecting . methods depend upon the electrical characteristiecs of the ore being sought. ‘*‘Dr. Mason, in speaking of indueâ€" tive methods, using the vertical loop on page 808 of the Engineering and Mining Journal of November 19th, 1927, states: ‘This form of the indueâ€" tive method has proven especially valuable.‘* The Radiore Process is an inductive method of electrical prosâ€" pecting and uses the vertical loop to create its primary field. Mr. McGregor‘s report, who found from the result of his investigations that equiâ€"potential methods were the most desired. It is assumed, again of course, that Mr. McGregor must have had experience with all three methods in order to have intelligently compared their differences.
