Seventeen different companies are prepared, or nearly so, to renew deâ€" velopment this season. McKenzie Red Lake Mines, already developed to a stage for mill consideration, is secâ€" ond major operator in the area. There are the Cold Shore Mines, Gold In from Hudson and Sioux Lookâ€" out covers an area of about 120 miles to Red Lake. The "rush" covered that distance in winter with every imaginâ€" able conveyance. GOver the summer route there were five portages in the waterway on entering the area. The Patricia area might be deâ€" scribed as stretching at least 200 miles, west to east, from the Manitoba bounâ€" dary to the Pickle Crow area. Toâ€"day at least 1000 people depend on the district‘s miming activity. Five Plane COmpanies Toâ€"day planes complete fast serâ€" vice in and out of the district. Five plane companies vie for business. Afâ€" ter five years the Red Lake and Paâ€" tricia areas in general are humming once azain with the vanguard of prospectors, Oldâ€"timers say the secâ€" ond rush is always more successful than the first. The Howey brothers, the late Lorne and Ray, learned from Mcâ€" Manus of his staking, and they startâ€" ed out as representing the Haileybury Syndicate, formed by a group of twelve men in Haileybury. The brothers staked out what is toâ€"day the Howey minge. That was in the 1925â€"26 seascon, and on the heels of the news followed the rush so oftet» recalled. One of the originals in the area rush says it was the find and report by McManus that prompted the Ontario Government to despatch Dr Bruce from the mines department. His reâ€" port was quite faveurable, and almost immediately the veteran prospectors hit the trail for the area. McManus staked what still stands toâ€"day as the McManus Gold Mines, to the east of the present Howey. Some work has bzeen done on it. Dr. Bruce Made Report From the time Dr. Bruce reported favourably on Red Lake geology, the progress has read like a romance. In 1925 Alec CGillies is credited with going in for the Hammell interests. Gillies and J. E. Hammell have been, and were even then, big figures in mining. John Fyrrell is credited with having reported upon the occurrences there years previous to the rush. Gus Mcâ€" Manus, looking over new districts, was said to ‘be seeking silver deposits in 1922 when he came upon Red Lake and its mineralization in taking the wrong route out On many cccasions in the past The Advance has referred to the fact that to Gus McManus, of Hearst, goes the honour of discovering the Red Lake gold area. With progress being made on the Howey and other Red Lake proâ€" perties showint much promise there is special interest in the history of the Red Lake district. It is interesting to note that the original property staked by Gus McManus still bears his name. There is much hope of this property developing into a mine of importance. The Original DiscOvery Very few realize that the Red Lake district which is presently active can date back forty years. Most people imagine that its life as a mining camp began in 1925 and 1926 when a rush of considerable dimensions took place into the area. At that time acâ€" tivities in jthat sector received wide publicity in the press but it has been known for nearly a half a century, says the Mining News of Canada.

Several others are in advanced state of development and will proâ€" bably be producing before long. In British Columbia, where gold has been produced continuously, in quanâ€" tity, sonce 1858, almost all the proâ€" duction up to 1893 was from placers. At present, however, the placer gold forms only 9 per cent. of the annual a copper mine, the value of its gold output now exceeds that of the copâ€" per and, for the time at least, it is being worked primarily for gold. In addition, there are now a number of goldâ€"quartz mines in operation, chief among these being the Beattie mine in Duparquet Township; the Siscoe mine, in Dubuisson Township; the Granada mine, Rouyn Alluvial gold was discovred in Queâ€" bec in the valley of the Chaudiere River as early as 1835; and it is estiâ€" matled that between 1846 and 1912 some $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 worth of gold was obtained from that ;source. The first recorded production of lode gold was in 1901, when ‘byâ€"product gold began to be recovered from the treatment of auriferous pyrites mined in the eastern townships. In 1915. zincâ€"lead ores mined at Montauban in the Portneuf County also became a source of ‘byâ€"product gold. Gold proâ€" duction on a large scale, however, did mnot begin until 1927, when the Horne copperâ€"gold mine in the northwestern part of the province started proâ€" ducing. At present the Horne mine in Norâ€" anda in Rouyn Township, is by far the largest producer of gold in Queâ€" bec. Originally regarded as essentially There has been continuous producâ€" tion for over forty years and sporâ€" adic production goes back to 1866, when gold was first found near Maâ€" doc, in Southeastern Ontario. In the eighteenâ€"nineties the Lake of the Woods district in Western Ontario was the scene of a gold mining boom of considerable magnitude. It was not, however, until after the discovery of the Porcupine camp in 1908 that goldâ€" mining became established as a proâ€" fitable industry in this province. At present ‘the Porcupine and Kirklana Lake campsâ€"two small areas of some 65 miles apart, situated in the northâ€" eastern part of the provinceâ€"furnish between them over 95.0 per cent. of Ontario‘s gold. While the provinces of Nova Scotia, Q@uebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Briâ€" tish Columbia are generally regarded as the gold mining provinces it is a fact that gold has been found in every cne of them except Prince Edward Island. According to the Dept. of Mines. Ontario, by far the most productive province, furnished somée 75.0 per cent. of the total cutput in 1932. Queâ€" bec, about 13.2 per cent.; British Cclumbia, about 6.5 per cent.; Maniâ€" toba, 4.0 per cent.; Yukon, about 1.3 per cent., and Nova Scotia, Alberta and Saskatchewan combined less than oneâ€"tenth of one per cent.

It is almost a certainty that addiâ€" tional discoveries of platiniferous nicâ€" kelâ€"copper sulphides of the Sudbury type will be made in Canada, states the report. The resources of the Sudbury district are by no means fully explorâ€" ed, and in recent years little attempt roundly 200,000 ounces. The Sudbury Company is the chief source of the metals in the empire, and output from its mines places Canada next to Rusâ€" sia among the world producers. With continued prosperity in ‘the nicke!l industry Canada is capable of supplying the major part of the world domand for platinum and its allied meâ€" tals, says a report, "Platinum and Allied Metal Deposits in Canada," isâ€" sued by the Bureau of Economic Geoâ€" logy, Department of Mines, Ottawa. Cost of production in Canada of plaâ€" tinum and related mstals is presently well below that of most producing countries.

This condition has been accenâ€" tuated by the discovery and exploitaâ€" tion of the remarkably rich and exâ€" tensive lode deposits of ~Transvaal, South Africa. Prior to the war the greater part of the. werld‘s platinum production went into chemical and other technical uses. Development of substitutes during the war proved so successful that the reâ€" quirements for the metal were drasâ€" tically reduced. The demand for plaâ€" tinum in jewellery, however, has inâ€" creased enormously since the beginâ€" ning of the war, and for many years this trade has been by far the largest has been made to develop new properâ€" ties. The known reserves of platinum metals in the area are enormous. In Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and on the coast of Hudson Bay, discoveries of the Sudbury type have been made. In addition there are distinct possibiliâ€" ties of further discoveries in Britisn Columbia of the Ural of deposit that has placed Russia in the lead as a producer,. _ Particularly is this so in the. sou‘thern and north central, and possibly the northwestern parts of the province, and also in Yukon, in the St. Elias range. Not ontirely dissimiâ€" lar are certain intrusives in the Mount Albert region of Gaspe and some other parts of southeastern Quebec.

Platinum in 1927 commanded a price of $110 an ounc> but by May, 1931, the price had receded to $23. A recent number of Metal and Mineral Markets, New York, gives the official price of leading intcrests at $36, with cash transactions between dealers and sellâ€" ers several dollars less. The official price of refined platinum in London is given at 7 15s. an ounce. If you would be free from mosquiâ€" toes wear yellow. They simply hate it.

MOsSQUITOES HATE YELLOW BUT THEY ADORE NAVY BLUE On several occasions in Timmins when panhandlers and others have be.r particularly busy, it has been cund that near the Government Liquor Store theseâ€"fellows find a speâ€" cially good harvest in response to the old question, "Broth:zx, can you lend me a dime!" The Timmins police have noted this fact and acted in appropriâ€" ate way. On one occasion a couple of years ago an officer in plain clothes stayed in the vicinity of the Liquor Store for the greater part of a couple of days and was able to show the panâ€" handlers that they would not be able to carry on their begzing tactics in that vicinity. Apparontly, the panhandlers have it all figured cut that the man who patronizes the Liquor Store will not only have the odd dime but also the kindness of heart to pass it on. Some of the beggars did well, indeed, around the Timmins Liquor Store until the police spoiled their game. In case anyone might have some false symâ€" pathy for the beggars who choose the vicinity of the Liquor Store for their operations, it may be noted that on a couple of occasions attempt was made by merchants in the vicinity to get the beggars to accept honest work that was needed done in a hurry, but the offers were never accepted.
