About 600 claims have been staked around Echo Bay. Copper has also been discovered. and drilling is ex- pected to start during the summer It is not too much to say that the Great Bear Lake discovery may prove the greatest mining find of the decade. perhaps of the generation. It looks as though this year will see the beginning of one of the greatest rushes of all time. At one stroke the northward thrust of civilization through the Northwest Territories to the borders of the Arctic Sea has been given an im- petus and an objective. Considering the restrained report of the govern- ment technologist who studied the ter- ritory last summer, one ventures the statement that the Great Bear discov- eries in general and the LaBine find in particular :may play’ a part of the greatest historical importance in the destiny of the Dominion. This newest mining field in Canada is unique in its importance to Canada. LaBaine Point. the first to be discovered is the richest field to date and the most representative of the area's great Two veins of pitchblende, from which comes radium at $70,000 the gram. There is nothing to compare with the find on this continent, nor anywhere in the world. Incidentally he had made a silver and which promises to eclipse the glories of Cobalt. He had made the first find of a discovery of high- grade silver in better width than any Cobalt occurrences. indications of even greater depths. He had made a silver strike from which samples have since been taken running from 1,000 to 15,000 cunces to the ton. Pure silver runs 30,000,000 ounces to the ton. He had discovered a promontory from which 32 mineral specimens have been taken, specimens which may be roughly class- ified under the general heading of uranium gold, silver, copper and iron. LaBine was alone, so no witness is available to testify that he danced a jig, flung his hat in the air. turned a cartwheel. or performed any of the antics that commonly signify the deli- rium of joy. But this is what he had discovered : inure was something familiar about the tiny island across from the Bay which he explored. LaBine had spent twenty-five years in the Temiskaming country, and he had seen similar rock at Cobalt. It was silver, all right, and a rich find. For a'while he examined .the rock, and then his excitement over the silver find was replaced by increâ€" dulity. A streak of dark greenish-black substance like a narrow ribbon of some deeply colored lava. coursed irregularly down the side of the rock to the ice. About the middle of May 1930. two prospectors pitched camp on the shore Jf Echo Bay, on Great Bear Lake. 5 rhey were E. C. St. Paul and Gilbert naBine, and they had just completed .in arduous six-week trek from the .mad waters of the Camsell River, which had been preceded by a month‘s planning and a swift, tremendous swoop by airplane. St. Paul was snow-1 blind by the time that they arrived, )ut LaBine was ready to start pros- pecting. Leslie Macfarlane. who has won much fame as a literary man, a fame that reflects much credit on the North Land which has been and is his home for many years, has an article in a: recent issue of MacLean’s Magazine in regard to the Great Bear Lake matter. Because so many in this camp are di- rectly or indirectly interested, a con- densed review of this article is given herewith:â€" Dmiculties of access. combined WRIT A couple of weeks ago The Advance had a reference to some of the pros- pectors concerned in the remarkable mineral discoveries in the Great Bear Lake area. The Advance referred to the “remarkable specimens of radium- bearing ore" brought out by E. C. St. Paul from this new Eldorado. also to samples of gold. silver. and other ore from Great Bear Lake territory. There can be little question as to the wide interest taken in the new mineral field. There are some mining men and other some newspapers concerned with mining that are inclined to be- little the find reputed. Other raise other difficulties as to the possibilities Iof the new field. Last week one of the .well-known mining men who helped to pioneer this North proved very con- clusively to his own satisfaction, that the matter of transportation alone makes it impossible for the Great Bear Lake to be a success at present. It is always like that. It was the same with Cobalt. Porcupine. Kirkland Lake. Kamiskotia, Red Lake and Mataehe- wan. There is always someone to prove it can't be done. but the pros- pectors and mining men then go in and do it. There may be some who will say that so far as Red Lake and Kam- iskotia are concerned the pessimists seem to be right. This, however, is not the fact. Howey Gold Mines have dis- proven the knocks against Red Lake. Kamiskotia will yet be heard from again and come into its own. Indeed, the history of mining in Canada would sems to suggest that the pessimits are always wrong. Accordingly, there is a: tendency to accept the word of the boosters in such matters as much more likely to be true than any of the un-‘ believers.

The from Vancouver the other There is a great opening for the real pioneer in this new center of mining activity where daylight is of twenty- four hours' duration in the brief sum- mer months, where winter temperature as low as 80 degress below zero has been recorded, where the airplane is the greatest single factor because the 1,400 miles of waterways lie between that inland sea and the fringe of civiliza- tion. But the obstacles will be over- come. Canadians discovered this El- dorado of the Northwest and they will develop it. The new field is of importance both nationally and internationally. It seems certain that the Belgian mono- poly, held by virtue of the Congo pitchblende deposists, will be broken and that the price of radium will come down. with greater quantities of the orecious substance available for scien- tific research. Radium, copper. silver, Goldâ€"no wonder Gilbert LaBine christened his voung mining company the Eldorado. And they have only scratched the sur- “ace. When summer comes to the Cir- cle the eyes of the world will be upon he mining rush of ’32. These are solid proofs. The Great Bear Lake find has flung open the doors to a tremendous and well-nigh neglected area of the Dominion so great that its extent exceeds that of the four western provinces. Transpor- tation facilities will have to be im- proved rapidly to meet the new needs. Extension of the railway into the area is a resonable possibility within the decade. The oil wells of Fort Norman, the lead-zinc deposits at Great Slave Lake. all the found and yet-to-be- found natural resources of the North-I west Territories promise to attain de-§ velopment. 3 Substantial evidence of the imporâ€" tance of the find 11% in the fact that the Eldorado people shipped out twenty tons of pitchblende last summer, se- parated by hand-cobblng. much of it running to more than $5,000 a ton. “The No. 2 vein on LaBine Point." he said, “is undoubtedly the most im- portant discovery yet. made in the Northwest, and probably one of the most important in Canada to-day. The Bonanza group of Eldorado consists of 27 claims on which very important sil- ver showings may be seen. and this dis- covery. to my mind, will develop into one of Canada's most important silver mines." J. J. Byrne, manager of the Great Bear Lake Syndicate, visited the dis- trict last August. He returned to Haileybury full of enthusiasm. No. 2 vein carries rich silver ore as- sociated with the pitchblende. It is likely that veins No. 1 and No. 2 may, improve both in size and grade of ore: with depth. The fact that pitchblende has recently been found two miles in- land from LaBine Point, and. on the strike of the veins there, suggests that the vein system may have a very con- siderable persistence. The government technologist per- sonally broke “heavy uranium strain from a fourth, as yet unexplored vein lying about one mile beyond No. 3." “While at present no estimate of the actual available tonnage can be made. the No. 1 and No. 2 veins at LaBine Point may be expected to yield several thousand tons at least of high grade pitchblende as well as a lesser amount of milling ore. Underground explora- tion upon their extension inland and under the lake, as well as prospecting of other known veins. will probably materially increase these amounts. Be- yond any question the pitchblende deposits at LaBine Point constitute a very valuable source of radium. At. the present value of radium, ore could easily meet the cost of shipment to rail ($400 per ton) . . . as regards actual mining, the lie of the ground could hardly be improved upon, and develop- ment would be of the simplest charac- ter." business conditions that made it hard to raise money. slowed down the early development. There was, too, consid- erable skepticism. until Hugh Spence. of thé Dominion Department of Mines. studied the new finds in August of last year. and made his typically reti- cent governmental report. The report ran: THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO g The Speaker has always been an ‘ardent friend of the farmer, and really is glad that the tide seems to be turn- ing; but what strikes us as being very strange is that when prices for farm products were fair, and the farm-er was doing well, farming was unpopular. nor lcould men be got to do work at prices a farmer could afford to pay. Now. when thousands of farmers in the United States and Canada have to reâ€" ly for Government support to tide over for hard times, we ar etold that there is a decided “back to the farm movement.”,This assuredly seems stran- ge. However, do not let anything be said or done to discourage this tenden- cy toward 'poularizing agricultural pur- suits, On the contrary. let everything possible be done to encourage the far- l mer We think much could be done by ithe Dominion'Minister of Agriculture; 3in the way of levelling up the terrible! inequalities which exist between the: prices the farmer gets for what he has to sell and the prices he must pay for what he has to buy. Of course, we all know that the Great War upset condi- tions which previously existed in re- gard to the cost of living, but the stra- nge part of present day conditions is that while farm products have dropped to the lowest point which has been known since Confederation. the prices of manufactured goods still remain very much the same as when the war was on. Now, the Minister of Agriculture should be given power to investigate under oath if necessary. and ascertain the reason why the present state of affairs between the farmer and those of other callings should exist. And the findings of the Minister should be published and then leave it to pub- lic opinion to say whether or not the farmer is being bled for the bene- fit of other classes. It might be that Is In another column of this issue will be found anaddress by Grathan O'- Leary. a newspaper man of Ottawa on the “Back-toâ€"the-Land" movement. In this connection it is interfiting to read the ideas of another newspaper. The New Liskeard Speaker, on this question. The Speaker says:â€" Back to the Land The following in indented lines is from the Timmins Advance:â€"“A ra- ther remarkable fact. has been disclosed in regard to the udbury area. In very small measure is the same fact true of this district. In the Sudbury area there seems to be a very decided “ka to the land" movement. The applications for farms by unemployed shows a hundred per cent. increase in the Sudbury area. In less than a score of townships lying within 25 miles of Sudbury, there were 254 applications for Crown lands for homesteads. This is dcubie the number in the previous year. and sets a new record for the number of applications.

With things as they are, they probably didn't want to get into deep water. “Under the heading “Moosonee an Ideal Name for a New Town", the Timmins Advance publishes an ex- planatory letter from Archdeacon Woodall which calls for a brief ex- planation from us: When The Nugget announced that the name of Ontario's seaport town was to be changed from “Moose Harbor" to “Moosonee,” it did not occur to us that, in making the change an honor was being conferred on the Anglican Church. This idea does not seem to have occurred to any except those who are familiar with the work being done 'by the Church of England in the far north for many years. Had we known the oject the Premier and the Chairman of the Commission had in view we would not have objected to the change made.” Thc New Liskeard Speaker last week says:â€" FAVOURS HONOUR TO \VORK OF THE ANGLICAN CHURCH ' Jaye oxOCIIBl-Z M WMflpélS’ lVow Our Provincial Ministers of Agricul- ture are very active in obtaining for farmers the fullest information in re- gard to the carrying out of agricultural pursuits in the most scientific manner, and ever county or district has a rep- resentative to give advice or instruc- tions. and we believe the Domini-tn Minister is equally anxious to promote the best interests of the farmers. but of what advantage is it to the far-2:111? -, community if he cannot sell his :r-é- ducts? We can well understand the farmer muttering his thanks to the Bachelors of Scientific Agriculture for the advice given them ’but saying. “What I need most of all is a market.” he has offered to the world many and varied ideas. which would. accord- ing to his opinion. bring relief to the farmers of the West. but the best farmers of the East. and on behalf of whom we are especially interested. do not want to be bothered with prob- lems they know so little about.

Last week The Advance published another group of "boners." blunders. errors, “bulls.” or whatever you like to call them. The most of these were supposed to be from examination pa. pers where some boys show more crooked memory than straight good judgment. 0! course. it is not well to be too hard in criticism of the boys. This is particularly true so far as news- papers are concerned because there is no place where there is so much chance for the occurrence of these breaks and boners than in a newspaper. The setting up of last week's list gave an example of this. One of the breaks read thuszâ€"“The trade pf Spain is small. owing to the insolence of the people." In this case the pupil had remembered in part something he had read or heard in the matter. but his twisted version made his answer hu- morous, though perhaps as true as the original saying.
