The late' Neh Faulkenham had a number of these ; they found favour in Cobalt and Por- cupine camps because they had the‘ camp flavour. "Grab Samples" that happy column in The Northern Miner last week added to the collection of 1 published mining camp yarns by the, following:-â€"- ‘ “To J. A. Macpherson. former Nor-. them and Western mine operator, now‘ sojourning in a Toronto hospital. this' column is indebtedjoracouple of yarns which carry the true flavour of the? humour of the mining camps. | Both are from the Far West, but They Suit the Humour of Any Mining Camp Anywhere. “Although the practice is not so com- mon nowadays there was a time when an outdoor man rarely attempted any- thing in the way of a special physical effort withqut first moistening his palms in a manner most impolite but apparently effective. This gesture be- came almost automatic with axemen. and others. as you may recall if you have lived long enough to see the old- timers at work. “Macpherson was in charge of a hydraulic operation in British Colum- bia, and during a betweenâ€"season hel had set some of his best men to re- piling and straightening out some flume timber. Robt. A. Boyce, consulting en- gineer, happened to make an inspec- tion trip at the time and the super was taking him around the workings. The two suddenly appeared unannounced at the spot where the flume repairs were being conducted and saw right in front of them and facing them a man 3who, being idle, suddenly straightened up, spit on his hands, reached down all set to make a lifeâ€"and there was noth- ing there, the ground was bare. “At supper time that night the gang were joshing the man about soldiering on the job and about the mighty lift he made that afternoon when the super and the mining engineer were looking on. he stood the joshing good na- turedly for a while and finally said: “Yes, I admit that was a regular Paul Bunyan lift all right. I was nearly as bad as the fellow on the Fraser river who accidentally fell off a boom, being unable to swim. When another mem- ber of the boom gang poked a pike pole in his direction he spit on his hands before grabbing it!” “Although the typical prospector isl naturally a wanderer who. follows any" trail which promises to lead to the poti of gold most of them have a pet camp! or develop a local loyalty which tends! to associate them with a given district.‘I Thus one may become known as a Por-l cupine, a Kirkland Lake, a Caribooi man and be proud of it. The genus} has a distinct capacity for enthusiasm, a common one being to report the firsti discoy‘erey in a district, to open a new; camp, to associate his name with a‘ new mine. “J. A. MacPherson tells of a mani named George Munroe, who, years ago,‘ had his base of supplies in Stanley, a small town in the mountains of Nor- thern British Columbia. George had the sterling virtues and the amiable failings of his type and on his occa- sional trips to towns he signalized the event by a somewhat carefree indul- gence in the sumptuary delights. Be- ing built along the general lines of a grizzly and in possession of the strength and health of one his lapses Ihad no serious result, although he had 1the rather invonenient habit of sud- denly passing out, sleeping contentedly where he fell by the wayside. “The little town of Stanley had in its earlier days as centre of a boom camp a considerable Chinese population and at the time of George’s experience some Orientals still remained. The practice of these‘people was to bury their dead in a special grave yard, the graves be- ing very shallow. only about 18 inches of gravel being shovelled over the cof- fins, for the reason that periodically a shipment of the remains was made to China. where the bones of the departed could lie in peace with those of their :ancestors. “George struck town one day and proceeded to absorb the usual oversup- ply of stimulant with the customary result. Along about nine in the even- ing, he collapsed peacefully on the sweet and fell asleep. Some of the boys noted the occurrence, went and looked him over and at the suggestion of one miscmevous individual his inert form was removed to the Chinese bury- ing ground. It so happened that on that day a shipment of Chinese bones had been made. with the result that there were a number of open shallow gram. with mt)! coffins seattened about.

Writer Says that Prospectors Not be well to decide upon a question after hearing only the one side. What may be termed "the other side" is given in in the following letter which is pub- lished herewith for the consideration of all interested, and everybody in this North should be interested. Editor. The Northern Miner: In your publication during the last few weeks various articles and letters have appeared criticising the proposed amendment to the Professional Engi- neers Act. Inasmuch as these criti- cisms appear to me to be based on a misapprehension of the engineer’s aims, with your permission I shall take the liberty of considering them. These objections may be grouped under the following heads: (1) That it is an attempt to “union- ize" the profession of engineering. (2) That it tends to give college gra- duates an undue advantage. (3) That is constitutes an unwar- rantable interference with the legiti- mate activity Jf prospectors. (4) That it will limit reporting on mining properties solely to members of the association, and hence will inter- fere with the influx of- capital to de- velop the mineral resources of the pro- Vince. (5) That it is not truly representative of the engineering profession of Onâ€" tario. One branch of mining, that of coal, has long been under strict government supervision, and no man from a coal cutter to-a. mine manager can hold a position without passing the requisite examination. The engineers of Ontario have no de- sire to see the province made the “hap- oy hunting ground" of unqualified indi- viduals from adjoining provinces or states while they themselves are de- barred from going beyond its confines. Régarding the second objection, that the act will favour the college graduate against the men of practical exper- ience, I may say that according to the 1930 year book giving the membership of the Association of Professional En- gineers, 44 per cent. of the members are non-graduates, and in the mechanical branch they are in the majority with 52 per cent. In mining there are 32 per cent. of non-graduates. To become a member of the associaâ€" tion the applicant must show proper credentials of having spent at least five years in the practice of engineering, and in the case of a graduate of a re- cognized university he is not required to pass an examination, and his period of instruction counts for 28 months of the five years required. In the case of a non-graduate he is required to pre- sent evidence of five years' engineering practice, and if such is considered sat- isfactory he is admitted without exam- ination.’ If, however, his period of ex- perience is short or otherwise unsatis- factory he is required to submit to an examination in the branch of engi- neering in which he desires to practice. It would appear from the above that the college graduate is not unduly fav- oured. and in any case the nonâ€"grad- uate has sufficient support in the mem- bership to adequame protect his in- terests. In brief, the association is an engineering society and is only con- cerned with engineering ability, and if Aflectcd Now prospecting work. such as strip- ping, test pitting. and even preliminary sinking and early development, includ- ing sampling, does not involve these principles. as least not their application in an engineering sense. it is more of the nature of the work of an artizan or mechanic, and does not require the supervision of an engineer. It may be compared with road construction in back districts where all the work, in- cluding the building of bridges and cul- verts is done by the men on the job. without any necessity of skilled techni- cal design or supervision. The engi- neer is only called upon when it is necessary to build or design large and expensive structures. it will interfere with prospecting activi- ties. I have not seen the amended act. but I gather that its form will be some- thing along the following lines. "Pro- fessional engineering shall mean the advising. reporting on and designing of various engineering projects together with mineral properties and mining deâ€" velopment. when such advising. report- ing and designing involves the skilled application of the principles of mathe- matics and applied science." qua :"Ulcacuu mu. Ulla, ......... c, 1 1 sicn of the Brovifiee This however is not the case. The assoc1at1ofi' 33111:“ prises nearly 1,200 members including! most of the prominent enginee1s in all' branches. In mining nearly all the consulting engineers are members, and of some 13 of the larger producing mines of Ontario more than half of the managers are members of the as- sociation. One criticism made is that the bill has not been published so those 1 affected cannot judge of its provisions. I Theme is more justification for this, but it is not the fault of the association but is due to the modification in its pro- visions and arrangement by the pro- vincial authorities and consequent de- lay. In your issue of January 18th, Dr. T. L. Walker, of the University of To- ronto, makes the objection that as the principles of applied science are the same as pure science, a mineralogist or geologist is equally well qualified as a mining engineer to report on his con- tention the work of two eminent geoloâ€" gists in Sudbury and Cobalt. These two gentlemen, however, were not con- cerned with the value of individual prospects but with the geological con- ditions of the district as a whole. which is quite a different matter. And fur- thermore, the act as contemplated con- tains nothing to interfere with work of this nature. While the principles of applied and pure science are basically the same the application is frequently entirely different. The man of pure science pursues knowledge for its own sake. and is only remotely concerned with! the immediate utility or economic value of his investigations, while in the case of applied science this consideration is of first importance. The failure to adequately grasp this phase of the situ- ation, combined with the tendency to give purely theoretical consideration greater weight than practical ones, fre- quently vitiates tie conclusions of scientific men in such matters. Ai striking example of this was brought to my attention some years ago. A dis- tinguished geologist. in describing the} orebody of a certain mine, stated that 1 it was “nearly 2,000 ft. long and 250 ft. wide," the statement being made withâ€" out qualiflcation or explanation. Now tas I was familiar with the property in iquestion and as I knew that the stop- ing length of the oreshoot was around 500 ft. and a generous estimate of the width would be two feet, I was at a loss to understand him. On inquiry it developed that by the “length" he meant the pitch length or long axis of the shoot, and by the "width" the di- mension taken at right angles to the pitch length. From a purely mathe- mal'Jcal standpoint he was correct but according to the method of applied science as exemplified in mining en- gineering practice, entirely wrong and even dangerously misleading; because from the working viewooint the length of an orebody is its stoping along the levels. and its width, the thickness Imeasured at right angles to the walls, , 13 these factors together with the grade are the means used to estimate its value. In conclusion I take issue with Dr Walker on the point he raised and would state that while a mlneralogist or geologist can give valuable informa- tion along special lines. he is incom- petent to determine the commercial value of a mineral deposit unless he also understands the principles 01’ min- ing practice.
