Clarke, of Toronto, Touches Many Points of Interest to Mining Men and Others. Makes Several Suggestions. The following is from the last issue of The Northern Miner:â€" The following letter is from the pen of a keen lay student of geology. The views expressed are, of course, his own: Editor, Northern Miner: uo abctm M vincial geologist, advised all mining men to obtain and study a treatise on the "Enrichment of Ore Deppsits,” preâ€" VEA NP L1 40. c pared by W. H. Emmons and published by the Geological Survey of the United States. This list of authors consulted in compiling this work covers more than twelve pages. Free distribution in Canada was arranged, and it is evident that the publishers and Dr. Miller took the view that the book was of prime the view that the book was of prime. importance in its bearing on the sucâ€" cess of the great industry of metal mining. Its principal theme is the downward migration of gold, silver and copper. In the presence of certain other elements gold is dissolved in the ovidized zone and a special enrichment such as that at the Lake Shore and Teckâ€"Hughes may follow. Knowledge _ BA 4 0220 of this fact would have changed the ownership of many millions of dollars at Kirkland Lake in the early days. In the Precambrian of Canada there are a larger number of gold outcrops than in all the rest of the world, but Eit ies if we except Forcupine and Kirkland Lake this ancient formation has not yet | given us a dividend paying mine. Burâ€" rows shows that at Porcupine the veins were formed 15,000 feet, or 2.85 miles, below the surface as it existed at the time. Some of the most important veins are still "blind," and many stocks of porphyry are not yet exposed by eroâ€" sion. Veins associated with such stocks will in all probability also lie below the existing surface. Erosion is therefore a negligible factor in reducing the volume of ore at Porcupine, while at Kirkland Lake the great producers are in the off â€" set regions, and these offsets probably emanated from the lower portions of the instrusions of porphyry.. The eroâ€" sion was mainly in the larger masses. Even if otherwise, the downward miâ€" | | ! f gration of the gold in solution As weathering proceeds means that greater the amount of gold below the existing surface. This condition, howâ€" ever, is far from general. The wellâ€" defined quartz vein is generally found where there is a prodominance of granâ€" ite. Here temperatures were high and it is probable that the gold precipitated much nearer the Algoman surface than in the replacements of Porcupine and Kirkland Lake. It therefore seems proâ€" bable that in these cases we have now only the stumps of the original oreâ€" bodies. In Vol. 37, pt. 4, p. 81, of the reports of the Ontario Department of Mines, E. S. Moore shows this condiâ€" tion in the Lake Savant area of Westâ€" ern Ontario and when we find that Porcupine and Kirkland Lake have proâ€" duced one hundred dollars for every dollar from all the rest of Ontario it should at least lead to a searching inâ€" quiry as to the cause. Only experienced geologists can deâ€" termine the probable value of mere prospects. Few mining engineers can do more than sample ore blocked out.‘ Dr. Miller was well aware of the limiâ€" tations of most engineers. At a public meeting in Convocation Hall, Toronto, he stated that their function is méchâ€". anical. But in some cases the capitalâ€" ists in control of mines may not know that the curriculum of the mining enâ€" gineer does not include geology or knowledge of ore deposits. The report of an engineer is therefore accepted though it may be disservice to his employer and to the owner of the proâ€" perty as well as an impediment to the progress of a great industry. Assuming " 15,000 feet of surface degradation since ’the Algoman age of gold, it is evident that great changes in the location of the metal must have occurred. It is well known that in the vicinity of rich placers payable quantities of gold are THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO 861L rarely found in place and Emmonol shows that when conditions favour it | gold is repeatedly dissolved and repreâ€"| cipitated as weathering proceeds downâ€" ] wards. In such cases all the gold of the oxidized zone may be concentrated below the existing surface. In the preâ€" sence of manganese, compounds iron, sulphides and chloride solutions there is no doubt of the downward migration of gold in brecciated ore. In rocks which have been shattered by strong moveâ€" ments since the primary ore was deâ€" posited there is generally more exten-‘ sive and deeper enrichment than in deâ€" | posits that have been but slightly fracâ€" |tured. The amount of enrichment is also affected by the length of time the rocks have been exposed to weathering. At Kirkland there have been repeated fracturings and many movements and injections of gold over long period and an enrichment in depth without precedent in any other part of the world. Though gravity is a substitute for pressure, the other conditions which favour the original injections of the metal also favour its movements downâ€" wards when again in solution. The reduction in the quantity of ore by basic syenite or lamprophyre can be easily seen at the Kirkland Lake mine and even at the No. 1 vein of the Lake shore. E. W. Todd clearly shows that the fissuring and the favourable or unâ€" favourable character of the rocks borâ€" dering the fissured zones determine the value of the ore bodies, see Vol. 37, pt. 2, pp. 54, 61 and 65 of the reports of the Ontario Department of Mines. In Vol. 36, pt. 2, p. 29, of these reports T. L. Gledhill takes the same view. He says that the character of the ore and the size and shape of the ore shoots appear to be largely dependent on the kind of country rock formation and its varying susceptibility to fissuring and replacement. Mr. Gledhill is dealâ€" ing with the Michipicoten area but his thesis applies to the entire Precamâ€" brian. In some parts of it there have been many basic intrusions after the Keewatin and before the Algoman epoch. These intrusions are not open to fissuring or replacement and do not carry any minerals except chromite titaniferous magnetite or a little nickel. till they have displaced much of thei Keewatin and in some regiogs they leave little room for large or regular orebodies. In small amounts they might be important as instruments of fracture or might have a beneficial effect in promoting the precipitation of gold. Like diabase, they may act as dams but like diabase they fail to absorb soluâ€" tions from the underlying These basic intrusions are not found at Porcupine, but even there the massive lavas are not oreâ€"bearing. The strong vein structures occur only in the strongly schistose and altered lavas. At Porcupine, visible gold may continue in depth though payable values are commonly found where no visible gold has been observed. There does not seem to be any danger from basic intrusives. It is, however, quite otherwise in many i parts of the Precambrian. Replaceâ€" ments are the only types of deposits | which have as yet made good and acâ€" ! cording to Todd, p. 61, these deposits are confined to the immediate neighâ€" bourhood of the fissures which supplied ! the active solutions. Inefficient management has someâ€" times hampered the progress of the mining industry. It may be due to in â€" sufficient capital or a lack of knowâ€" ledge on the part of those in control. It is not always the fault of the engx- neers in charge. At Kirkland Lake, in a length of two miles, there are S1x separate companies each with a mining and milling plant and all with costs unnecessrily high. If only two milling plants, costs would be materially reâ€" duced and ‘even then the total area served by the two plants would be only oneâ€"third of the length of that at the single plant of the government gold mining areas in the far East Rand, having a larger output than any gold mine in the world. ’ Canada has now fully realized the many evils which arise from mining the public, consequently we have The Security Frauds Prevention Act. Ficâ€" titious quotations or pretended sales on the ficors of the Mining Exchanges and other frauds are no longer comâ€" mon. During the recent "boom‘‘ many worthless issues were foisted on an unâ€" informed public. Successful mining requires the same, or it may be more, special knowledge than most indusâ€" tries. It also requires honest work; but according to Dr. Miller it is just as safe as any other industry if ordinary preâ€" cautions are taken. The Ontario Deâ€" partment of Mines has for many years been doing splendid work, but the pubâ€" lications are now so numerous they are often neglected. There should be a compendium covering the salient feaâ€" tures of the producing mines and clearâ€" ly indicating the reasons for the failâ€" ures which have attended exploration in some parts of the precambrian. S. R. CLARKE. Toronto COMMITTED SUICIDE BY USE OF BORROWED RIFLE The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "Jsseph Hanna, aged about 65, who livâ€" ed with two other men about five miles from Gowganda, committed suicide last weskâ€"end by using a rifle. He was be, lieved to be in a state of despondency and, after an investigation by Provinâ€" cial Constable J. R. Dickson and Corâ€" onor Dr. G. R. Crann, it was decided that an inquest was unnecessary. Hanâ€" na, who was a native of Ireland and had no relatives in this country, took a riflie belonging to one of his companâ€" ions, while they were temporarily abâ€" sent from the house, and going into the woods placed the butt against a tree and the muzzle against his breast and pulled the trigger. The shot alarmed th» others, who were not far away, but he was déad when they reached him The funsral was held in Gowganda."

Oesstrosser, Timmins, Within Miles of the Big Find Recently Made. In letter received this week from Matheson, Ont., H. A. Preston, one of the oldâ€"time ptospectors of the North, points out that for the last five years he has been doing considerable talking about the Matachewan gold area and the country to the west. He has preâ€" dicted on many occasions, he says, that there was going to be a big gold find in those parts, as he knew the country and its possibilities. Mr. Preston, along with J. L. Campbell and J. B. St. Paul were in the Matachewan area during 1925 and staked quite lot of claims, some cof which gave good assays. These are within six miles of the big new find in Bannockburn township. Threse claims staked for D. Ostrosser, of Timmins, made Mr. Preston think he was finding a new Dome, he says. During 1926, 1927 and 1928 Mr. Preston was 0;1 the lookout tower at Matacheâ€" wan for the fire ranging work and he could see all the country where he and cthers had staked and where the new | find has been made. | Last spring The Advance published an item from Mr. Preston regarding a mysterious explosion on Aug. ard, 1926, during the night. In his letter Mr. Preston calls attention to the fact that right along he has stated that someone is going to find the spot where the explosion cccurred. He is sure there is a tremendous hole left at the rspot because the sound of the exrV‘osion was so loud and the shaking of the earth so noticeable that there could be little doubt of the extent of the acâ€" cident or incident. The explosion Mr. Preston thinks, happened in the counâ€" try northwest of the new find in Mataâ€" chewan. Now that the country is beâ€" ing staked for miles around, Mr. Preésâ€" on believes the spot where this exâ€" ‘losion happened or meteor fell will be discovered. Mr. Preston aiso notes the fact that it was his watching from his tower in Matachewan that give him the idea of a belt line road from Sudbury to Timâ€" mins. He says that if the new Mataâ€" chewan find means a new camp it will be easy to get from Timmins by goâ€" ing south to Bartlett township and it rhats _ 4 is only twelve or fourteen miles southâ€" east of Bartlett and this twelve or fourâ€" teen miles is through firstâ€"class formaâ€" tion. SAID TO HAVE STAKED FIRST LARDER LAKE MINING CLAIM The Northern News last week says:‘â€"| "Many oldâ€"timers of the North will learn with regret the passing in Ottaâ€" wa Civic Hospital on Friday last of Dr. R. Reddick, who for more than 50 years ‘ practised his profession in Winchester, Ont. Dr. Reddick was also keenly inâ€" terested in mining and came to Cobalt at frequent intervals during the early days of that camp. In the spring of 1906 he went into Larder Lake and staked what is thought to be one of the ‘ first claims there. This claim was afâ€" terwards known as Reddick Mines and. is located in McGarry Township. In order to get to Larder Lake from Coâ€" balt at that time it meant a long tireâ€" scme hike via Tomstown. In the interâ€" vening years Dr. Reddick has been a frequent visitor to the North and only as late as last August he took out a new license at the recording office'at Swasâ€" At that time Dr. Reddick exâ€" plained to Mining Recorder Geo. Ginn that he was going on a tramp through the bush with some friends and wanted the license "just in case." Dr. Redâ€" dick was a member of the Masonic Orâ€" der and the funeral was held with the hMonours of that body; interment beâ€" ing made in Maple Ridge Cemetery, | Winchester, Ont." 1 The Canadian Government‘s gold reâ€" serve increased $9,437,020 last month. On Aug. 31, the Minister of Finance held gold to the value of $85,786,066 and on Sept. 30, it had reached $95,223,085. Fizures were made public last week by the Department of Finance. Of the September 30 total, $92,764,140 was held against a Dominion note circulation of $132.872,356 and $2,458,946 against the deposits of the Government‘s savings bank. There was another good boxing card at Kirkland Lake last week, with a go~d crowd present and much enthusia«sm. Before the programme started the anâ€" nouncer, Dr. Teich, took occasion to warn the boxing fans against the danâ€" ger of making betting a feature of the game. He said it had been rumoured that considerable money had been wagâ€" ered on the outcome of some of the bouts, and he appealed to the boxing fans to keep the game clean and to keep the gambling instinct out of it. He said there were few surer ways to More Good Boxing Bouts at Kirkland Last Week Cod Liver Extract Tablets LARGEE GOLD RESERVE kill the sport than by letting the evils that arose from betting get the upper hand. All of which was good advice and true as can be. Another feature of the evening at Kirkland Lake was the presentation to . Howard Williams of a large silver cup. Reeve Evoy made the presentation amid | much enthusiasm. . Engraved on the| cup were the words, "Presented to Hoâ€"| ward Williams by the Townshin of | Teck commemorating the winning ‘of the Oanadian Welterweight Championâ€" ship 1930. In making the presentation Rseve Evoy said "You are all aware ‘hat Howard Williams this year won the Ontario and Canadian Amateur 'Welterweight championship and in doâ€" ing it brought considerable honour to Kirkland Lake. You also know how he fought h‘s way to the final in his class at the Olympic games held at Hamilton and was only outpointed by a small margin. In appreciation of those efâ€" forts and because he is a good clean sportsman I have much pleasure on behalf of the municipality in rtesentâ€" ing him with this cup." In accepiing the cup Howard thanked the fans for their support. His speech was received | with cheers. Another feature was the introducilion | to the crowd of the boys that repreâ€" sented Kirkland Lake in The Northorn News relay race held on Saturday at | Monteith. Each boy way in turn inâ€" lt.roduced by Dr. Teich and thsy acâ€" cepted the plaudets of the crowd with ! a neat bow. | i There were two bouts on the proâ€" \gramme that will be of special interâ€" \‘ est to Timmins boxing fans. The Norâ€" \thern News in its last editorial gave \the following account of these two Ematches. in the first of which Tony | Biondi, of Timmins, was knocked out, ,|und in the second Roy Hamilton won the decision over Benny Doherty afâ€" ter both boxers had rleaded for an exâ€" Etra round or two to settle the draw | anncunced by the judges at the conâ€" 7 clusion of the bouts. In reference to these two bouts, The Northern News ‘ | sald :â€" "After an absence from the ring for a year Pete Yawny celebrated his come back by handing Tony Biondi the well known K. O. Pete has put on 15 Ibs since learning how to make cement blocks and the other tricks of a cement variety, but has not forgotten to hand out that dangerous left. Biondi stagâ€" gered Pete a couple of times during the bout but in the fourth round Pete got the range and Biondi was on the canâ€" vas when the bell rang. Coming out for the fifth Biondi was still groggy and too another nine count. Game to the core he rose only to go down again for a second nine count. He struggled to his feet, but Referee James signalled him to his comer to avoid him taking any more punishment. "Roy Hamilton was again declared the winner over Benny Doherty. The bout was fast and close all the way through with neither boy having much advantage. At the end of the regulaâ€" tion five rounds the bout was declareo a draw but neither boy was satisfied and both pleaded for another round to make a decision. Hamilton was the aggressor during the round and was awarded the verdict, It was a nice bout." Sam Dinning, of Hamilton, evidently made a big hit with the boxing fraâ€" ternity of Kirkland Lake and also with several present from Timmins. Dinâ€" ning showed remarkable speed and skill and put it all over Dennis Mahoney, of Kirkland Lake, in a speedy battle that delighted the fight fans. One of the bouts of the evening was a windmill affair between Hughie Rocks and Jim McKenzie. The two lads threw science to the wind and fairly sailed into each other with arms flailâ€" ing. There were some very heavy blows‘ struck. Rocks got the decision in this case, and it may be noted that each of them got about all the other fellow had. The bout between Johnnie Rocks and Howard Williams was a fiery affair. Rocks has twice received the decision over Williams and ‘the one seemed out to maintain this standing while the other seemed to be determined is great anxiety on the part of somse to match these two again soon. This should suggest to these boxers the folly of holding any illâ€"will against each other personally, as about all they will get out of that sort of thing is for cerâ€" tain prople to attempt to make capital out of it and get up another fight beâ€" tween the two, so as to enjoy the efâ€" fects of any illâ€"will there may be and to use the opportunity made by the said illâ€"will for the sole purpose of enâ€" joying what may be termed "grudgeâ€" \/ # \ # #* # ## ## ## /Â¥ «**« “.“ # # # Cad ## *# . * 0“0 ## t # #* # # os * w# * # ##* #* # # ## *# *# #% # # # “.“ t * . % v".”o“o * # $ #* *# # *4 #*% # # *# *# # #4 # #* # # # # .“ *# # ## # # # # ## # + C i i) h cce 6(4 i) h iJ 10 smcs i 1 en t t# | | Burke‘s Drug Store \ Pine St. N.
