Murray creek which enters the Sturgeon above the Elbow rapids forms a fair canoe route across the northwest quarter of Janes to Murray, Washagami and Maskinonge lakes in Kelly and Davis. A quarter mile portage from the Sturgeon river leads to Grassy lake in northeastern Preliminary Report on Wahnipitei Area “The Sturgeon river flows southward through McNish and Janes as far as concession 2 of Janes. At that point Ess Creek enters it from the, west and the Sturgeon changes to an easterly course across Janes and the southwest- ern corner of Dana passing out of the township near the middle of its south boundary. The river is broken by several rapids within the area examin- ed and in high water is swift. It can, however, be used as a canoe route from the railway northward. Ess Creek is navigable for canoes in the early part of the summer nearly to the west boundary of Janes. Later in the season Dr. E. L. Bruce, of the Ontario Deport- mont of Mines. Gives Report on Area Between North Bay and Sudbnry. “The Canadian National railway line from North Bay to Capreol crosses the southwest corner of the township 01' Dana and the south half of the town- ship of Janes. From the railway. roads constructed by the lumber and pulp- wcod companies lead northward from Chudleigh and from Mile 109 near the boundary between Janes and Dana. These roads are passable for heavy wagons with light loads. The road from Chudleigh can be used as far as Grassy lake in the northeastern quar- ter of McNish; the one from Mlle 109 as far as Silver lake in the western half of Pardo. In addition to these roads leading away from the railway, a mac parallels the railway from the farming settlements in the townships east or this block to Washagami and thence north to Washagami lake. Washagami and Maskinonge lakes in the townships of Kelly and Davis immediately west of Janes and Mcth form a link in the transportation system of the Gordon Lumber Company. From the north end of Maskinonge lake a road two miles in length crosses the northwest quarter of McNish to the Sturgeon river, joining the road that follows the river north- ward from Chudleigh. Thence it goes northward into the township of Mac- Beth. Following its usual custom of giving preliminary geological reports on ter- ritory as soon as interest is centred in any particular area, the Ontario Dept. of Mines has issued a report on the district about midway between North Bay and Sudbury and south of Lake Temagami where considerable atten- tion has been given recently. The re- port is by Dr. E. L. Bruce and is in part as follows:â€" “The townships of James. Mchsh. Pardo. and Dana, form a square block neany midway between North Bay and Sudbury. The northeast corner of the block is only a. short distance south- west of the south bay of Lake Terna- gaml,‘ the west boundary of the area. is eleven miles east of Lake Wahnipitei.

At the root of a steep clifl’ the rock exposed is heavily bedded. Similar heavily bedded quar- tzite occurs at the top of the bench- like ridge. Between these the rock is thin bedded. Apparently during fold- ing the heavy upper and lower beds have moved differentially so that the intervening layers have suffered trac- turing. In a face with a height of 15 feet lenticular quartz veins with widths of 6 inches or more form possibly 1-10 of the rock. At on exposure several hundred feet to the south there is a width of 10 to 15 feet of quartz. The quartz lenses have steep dips and end against the massive iootwall. Marcu- site is abundant in places and low values in gold have been obtained on assay. ' “One half mile north of Wright or Sargesson lake a shaft has been sunk about 30 feet on a crushed zone in die.- base. The zone does not contain much quartz and the values are unknown. ! diabase east of Lake Wahnipitei led to [renewed interest in similar rocks far- ther cast, but on the whole these four ltownships have never been intensively I prospected. Heavy overburden and the ldifficulty of travel through the wind- Halls, under brush and slash left after , lumbering operations, have discouraged prospectors. in diabase on these claims. Work has been concentrated on three parallel veins in a basic zone or dyke in the diabase. The largest of these veins is in a fracture zone in somewhat altered dark coloured diabasic rock. In the centre of the zone a solid quartz vein 2 feet to 4 feet in width extends from the bottom of a shallow test pit up the side of the cliff. showing a vertical ex- tent of about 30 feet. On both sides of the central vein are several parallel veins from i of an inch to 2 inches in ‘vvidth. Near the main vein these are fspaced at intervals of 3 inches to 6 inches. As the distance from it in- creases the spacing increm and at a distance of 6 feet to 8 feet the last exposed veinlet occurs separated from the next vein by 1 to 2 feet of diabase. The quartz is fine grained and rather opalescent. Sulphides are very spar- ingly disseminated. Alteration of iron sulphides has produced a slight reddish staining along fractures. Some two or three hundred feet distant and prob- ably on the same vein the main shaft has been sunk. Sulphides are rather more abundant at that point and in- clude pyrite, chalcopyrite and some small speCks of galena. No gold was seen and the assay results are said to be low. Heavy overburden and thick un- derbrush make surface work difficult. and the extension of the vein system has not been determined. Hence the vein has been tested for only a com- paratively short distance along its strike and for thirty feet vertically in two places. “On a group of 9 claims in lots 1 and 2, Con. III and IV of Janes, several tes: pits and a. shaft some 30 feet deep have been sunk. Several quartz veins occur Mchsh, and there is a good canoe route from that late to Lake 'Imna- gami. The townships of Janes ane. Mchsh are accessible by the means outlined above. Silver lake in Pardo township can be reached by the road from Mile 109 on the railway and from Silver lake canoe routes lead through Tee lake and Deschamps lake to Tema- gami. The eastern part of Dana has neither roads, trails, nor water routes. and points in it can be reached only on foot from the railway at the south. “The townships of Janes. Dana and McNish. have been nearly completely denuded of the original forest. A large part of Pardo is still covered with birch. paplar, jackpine, red and white pine of good size. Maple and ash grow to “Some quartz veins have been found both in the diabase and in the quartzâ€" ite and at three localities, two in Janes and one in Pardo, considerable work has been done. It is remarkable that no calcite veins have been observed, and this is a point of marked dissimi- larity between these townships and the Gowganda area only a ooinpaxatively short distance to the north. Assays show the presence of gold in the veins that have been examined. It has not yet been reported to occur in visible quantities and the assays as yet made do not indicate values sufficiently high to make the veins workable. considerable size in places and oak reaches diameters of two to three feet. Lumbering operations followed by fires have left much of the area extremely difficult to traverse. Second growth trees are now ten to twenty feet in height and so closely spaced that in places it is difficult to force a passage through them."

In discussing details of the geology, Dr. Bruce says:â€" ward from the Cobalt-Gowganda area into these townships and the presence in the conglomerate of masses of dia- base naturally led to considerable pros- pecting of the area for silver following the discoveries in Gowganda. Lumber- ing operations and the existence of valuable stands for pine prevented thorough exploration at that time.

A despatch this week from Hailey- bury sayszâ€"“Urging that the “machine method" of handling the new water- works scheme be scrapped, and the work carried out on a day labour basis, }as tending to give greater benefits to g the workingmen of the town. a deputa- tion representing a number of the citi- zens waited upon Mayor George T. Hamilton yesterday, but was told that the extra cost involved was so great the town council felt it was inadvisable to adopt the suggaetion made. The mayor gave assurance that there would be suflcient work available this winter to take care of the unemployed situation here. Mayor Hamilton said it would require an addition $10,000 over the contract price of $18,600 to use day‘ labour on the work. The men, who had . first approached the executive of thef Board of Trade and then had called on A. J. Kennedy, M.L.A., urged that, as the work was a relief measure, day labour would give the greatest benefits to the workingmen of Haileybury and they protested the decision of the town council to give a contract for the opera- tions. " “I am going to wipe the word in- sane' off the statute books at the next session,” Dr. Robb said in discussing mental dim. There should be no more reflection on a patient in a mental hospital than in any other hospital.” HAILEYBURY REQUESTED TO STOP USE OF MACHINERY He spoke of the inmease of the can- cer death rate and of the steps that were being taken to try and find a cure and of his hopes in that regard. “And the average length of «time the patients have to wait,” he said. “is six months, a. critical time for the patient." He spoke of the campaign the pro- vince and the Dominion was now carry- ing on to extend the sanitarla. equip.- ment and he hoped that 600 beds could be added. Tuberculosis, cancer and mental dis- eases were given special attention by the speaker. There are, he said, 2,150 patients in the Ontario tuberculosis sanitaria, with 300 on a waiting list. “Preveht disease," he said, “and you don’t have to Cure it." “With the change in sentiment as to imperial trade in Britain, as shown in the results of the recent general elec- tion there," said the minister, "I don‘t think such a. thing could happen now." “We have had worse depressions in the past; the minister said. garnet is the result or the metamorph- ism of the original sediment probably through the influence of and perhaps with additions from the granite or dio- rite intrusions.

The grade appears to be satisfactory. It seems doubtful. however. if such a de- posit can be mined under the handicap of a heavy American tariff on all con- centrated material. “A similar occurrence was noted in‘ the southwest quarter of Janes less than two miles from the railway. So. far as could be found out this deposit had never been noticed prior to the geological examination of the area. With no work done on it its size can- not, be estimated.

J. M. Robb, Minister of Health, declared in an address at Rich- ard's Landing on Friday last. He argued that the northern portion of the province was receiving fair treat- ment fro-m the government and that there were no grounds for a. secession movement, though he did not think there was any serious secession talk. The occasion was a «banquet tendered by the Conservative organization of Richards’ Landing to Hon. Dr. Robb, their representative in the Ontario House, and Mr. T. E. Simpson, M..,P of Sault Ste. Marie. ,. Says More Spent in North Than is Paid The $13,000,000, he said, covered the administration of justice, highways, agriculture, health and so on. ”The rocks surrounding the small in- trusions of granite porphyry in south- western Pardo are probably the most favourable for prospecting. Unfortun- ately much of the intruded rock is massive quartzite, apparently structur- ally unfavourable. In places, however. vein zones occur where the rock is thin bedded. but in those so far found values are low. Veins containing some gold occur in the diabase but as the diabase seems to be the youngest consolidated rock no particular area can be design- ated as more promising for mineral dis. coveries than any other." “on.
