properties that have been idle for many years. A very large sum has been spent on Matachewan. Many thousands of good British pounds were lost there ten or twelve years ago when one of the most ambitious diamond drilling programmes ever attempted in Northern Ontario was carried out on two properties now coming into production. The inter- pretation of the drilling was that aver- age values were low, an interpretation which in the case of the large porphyry cent CUQllll‘leS. however, seem to sug- gest that many readers would like something in the way of a review of the promising properties of Matache- wan and for this purpose there could be nothing better than the following extended resume from the annual num- ber of The Northern Miner. The Min- er says:â€" Matachewan Curing Into It Own After many years of spasmodic ex- ploration the Matachewan gold area has come into its own.

Naturally a keen interest has been revived throughout the Mataâ€" Ichewan camp and many are on the I search for other mines. Big Porphyry Body The Young-Davidson ore is a big red porphyry body and Matachewan Con- solidated, while it has much ore from quartz lenses in basalt, has a large ton- I nage in a porphyry dike zone, in addi- {tion to a deposit similar to its neigh- Ebour. Porphyries therefore, have been receiving a good .deal of attention. Most of the quartz veins that have been explored so far are narrow, typified by the Ashley Mine and the projects at the head of the east branch of the Mon- treal River. namely Baden Syndicate, Thesaurus Gold, Central Matachewan. and Woman River.

The veins are changing theii strike direction, to the north also, veer- ing' east. On the fourth level the vein is being worked south, west of A fault. The second throw of the Ashley vein 1 from faulting has not yet been picked : up; for a time it was thought obtain- ed. again to the west .but that is not clear-now. The Ashley vein‘ and its west-faulted section, known as the West vein, do not exist as yet-on-the bot- tom level, although only limited work has been carried out there. Diamond drilling has been going on, some from ‘-. ,___,___-._ A total of eight veins have been ex- plored on which some pits are' down 20 feet, and one is down 29 feet on No. 6 vein near the drilling. Most of the veins are narrow and so far gold values end No. 1 hole at 45 degree angle cut 30 inches quartz .65 oz. gold per ton for a value of $22.75 at present prices; four feet of wallrock went .3 oz. per ton for a $10.50 grade. No. 2 hole, 100 feet east at the same angle, gave 30 inches quartz assaying .60 oz. per ton, and Hole No. 3, 175 feet east, gave two feet of quartz assaying .40 oz. per ton; wallrock was not assayed for these last two holes, Mr. Crawford related. The vein shows widths up to two and three feet and has given gold values along the 900 feet it is opened upâ€" sometimes quite high. At the west Baden Syndicate The Baden Syndicate property at the head of the east branch of the Montreal River has considerable interest, very thorough preliminary work having been carried out under the direction of H. Crawford. While a number of veins have been opened up, principal attention has been conferred on No. 6 vein; elaborate trenching, stripping. and pitting has been carried out on all the veins. In diamond drilling No. 6 vein with a light model machine, three intersections were obtained which gave quite interesting results, 12 other holes could not get down to cut the xemponacmunmofttheowburdm fractured nature of some of the rock. surface but there hz ploration below the leveL ounces valued $36,477 The Ashley mine is located up in the north part of Bannockbum township, about 18 miles by road from Matachc- wan townsite and 42 miles from Elk Lake. the end of the steel.

The steam plant has been put into working order and the collar of the twmcompartment shaft was being re- paired. The boiler is a, 35-horsepower one, a two-drill compressor, a good hoist comprise the plant. The re- opening of this old property at the The property adjoins w the east of Baden Syndicate. A lot of surface work has been carried out and deep rock pits are being blasted out for 75 yards along the present interesting place. The strike is northeast and immediately in that direction low ground is encountered; 400 or 500 yards farther on the same break is believed to have been picked up with three feet of vein material showing which gave values up to $4.00. To the southeast it cuts through'some granite and heads into Baden Syndicate ground; the strike veers slightly. more south. Min- eralization was good and appearance healthy. The projected strike of the main occurrence on the Thesaurus Gold property to the east is only 40 feet of! the line of the Central Matache- wan vein. Other veins have been partially explored. all narrow; some encouraging assays have been received. .1. W. Morrison Ls consulting engineer for the company and D. M.

There is no doubt about the richness of the small patch as the gold is clearly visible; it will be interesting to open up. It is contained in a wide vbreak, mineralized across and containing a . good deal of irregular silicification and alteration. It has been traced across nearly three claims with rock trenches and while some good assays 'are om- cially reported, the general results of channel sampling have been low grade. The break has a strike 10 degrees north of west and to the southeast acms the river a long distance, work is being followed out on what may be the con- tinuation of the break. There a quartz vein. about a foot wide, had been Open- ed up in two pits for a length of 600 feet. It was mineralized and is re~ ported to pan gold well. Other surface indications were also being investigat- ed on this side of the river. Central Matachewan An interesting surface development was under way at the property of Gen- tral Matachewan Mining Company when visited. Toward the west end of; No. 1 vein, visible gold was noted in a rock trench; the formation consists of narrow quartz veins in a sheared zone in Keewatin tufl‘s. The gold in‘ place was seen in one of the quartz; veins of which there were three or four * in a four-foot width; the total shear- ing was wider. In the same occur- rence more visible gold was obtained about ten feet farther along the strike. Officials report some very high assays over narrow widths of 12 to 15 inches. J. Paddon, vice-president. stated that diamond drilling of the extensive hold- ings would be followed out and a gas rock drill tested to expedite surface work. The claims have been all sur- veyed and some 15 men are employed under Wm. Goudge. C. Bond is secre- tary. The syndicate also holds 39 claims in Mallard township which are to be diamond drilled right away. Financing offers have been received but the syndicate is carrying on by it- self for the present. Alex Campbell of Elk Lake is pre- sident succeeding the late W. J. Shields. Capitalization is 4,000 units with 2,000 issued cf which 1,500 went- to vendors. A company of 2,000,000 or 2,500,000 capital is planned for en~ larged operations, out of which the syndicate gets 1,000,000 shares. Woman River Syndicate The visible gold show of the Woman River Syndicate property in the south- east corner of Baden township on the east branch of the Montreal River was also viewed. It created some excite- ment two or three months ago and since that. time it has not yet been blasted into. Teck-Hughes, Kirkland Hudson Bay, and Dik-Dik all had a look at it; the syndicate is actively carrying on surface operations as a syndicate and while company plans have been approved by shareholders, it has not yet been formed. steeply. Gold is easily panned from No. 6 vein and the values are finely disseminated with sulphides mostly. in the others have not stood up. The property adjoins on the west of Cen- tral Matachewan Mining Company, and the latter’s interesting vein is strik- ing into it under a swamp. Plans are now underway to either put in a heav- ier diamond drill or get underground and develop the No. 6 vein. The east swamp area is regarded as an inter- esting drill proposition.

The Allan pro- perty in F'lavelle is also being inves- tigated. F. Fraser is prospecting in the area. Tyr- -Mac Gold Mines has many holdings and is to do some work in Powell township. T. Kollies has an interesting show in Baden township about a mile northwest of High Falls. Quartz veins occur in sheared greenâ€" stones and promising gold values have been obtained in some cases over good width. While work has been carried on for a period of years it has only been by one or two men. H. Kell has been working on a group of claims in argyle township for F. Connell; J. Reid recently sampled it. S. Kell has worked on a property of his own in northwest Baden township. Bloom Lake had not yet started work, al- though it is planned for the property to the north of Matachewan Consoli- dated. Interesting porphyry occur- rences are reported. The veins mostly strike northeast and occur in a granite; there are six altogether. A tunnel was driven some distance on a No. 5 vein and inter- esting disclosures are reported. The creek vein is also interesting with a good two-foot width of quartz and per- sistent; it will be carefully check sam- pled. The general plan is to crosscut to No. 1 and No. 4 veins and drift on them, and possibly diamond drill. Other Projects Many other prospectors and groups are working. Matachewan Pioneer Syndicate in Cairo township has a crew of men under H. A. Stevens doing sur- face work. A find made 25 years ago by Pinner which gave $18.00 in a grab sample is to be opened up. Another occurrence has been trenched for 600 feet. Matachewan Township Mining Co. in Cairo township, two miles from Moyneur's, has A. P. Dunbar doing surface work. G. Christie in northwest Yarrow township is working on a wide schisted zone, well mineralized with pyrite. It strikes east-west and is trac~ ed for 1,500 feet in three ‘big trenches. Some high assays are reported par- ticularly from schist near any quartz. Some of the larger mines have examin- ed it. Staking is reported around this property on the strength of Norandaj sampling it. Five men are working; Three drill holes were put down on W.; Young's group of claims in southwest; Powell township last winter under the? 1 direction of H. Key; it is not being; worked at present. 1 Eight more claims have been added and the property now totals 15. (hm- talization is 3.000.000 shares and ap- proximately 1,000.1!» are ensued. Wm. Forest is sponsoring the renewed de- velopment. The shaft is down 300 feet with some lateral work at the 85. 100 and 300-foot horizons. The shaft fol- lows the vein to a depth of 285 feet where it dips south out of the shaft. another blind vein then comes in. Visible gold is reported to have conic out of every round of the shaft in the vein. At the 85-foot level a short cross- cut was “put out 13 feet to cut No. 4 vein which showed a four-foot width. At the loo-foot mark about 200 feet of drifting was performed east and west along the main No. 1 vein. showing widths of two to three feet: a high grade shoot is said to exist. On the BOO-foot level. the blind vein was drift- ed on east to a diabase dike and a crosscut started north to No. 2 and 3 veins; it never reached them before work stopped. head 'fltPNSt re of the River NEW YORK.
