A Anica grabbed the skirt and her finâ€" gers tore at the belt until the fastenâ€" ings gave way. The skirt tangled in the struggling legs. Like animals the two screamed at each other, tussling, rollâ€" ing, fingernails drawing blood. There was a shriek from Anica as a stream of blood rolled down her cheek. She loosened her clutch from the gkirt, and screaming like a mad woman, she grasped the girl‘s throat. "I‘ll kill you now!" she cried. The curtains of the van were thrust apart ang Marcu sprang at the two.: He pulled Anica from the girl and flung her against the wall. "In the name of God what are you doing, old fool?" "Get out of here!" she gasped. "Let me kill her now!" Again she sprang for the inert girl. Marcu‘s foot stopped her and she sank groaning to the floor. He picked Consuelo up in his arms.

Again the whip fell, Then frenzied, senses reeling, she sprang for her mother, grabbed her around the hips and the two rolled to the dusty floor of the van. Like a tigress the girl struggled on top, her slim fingers clutching the oily black hair. "Oh yes, I will!l Let go of meâ€"you‘re hurting!" _ The grip tightened.

Six mining claims ' were staked, and since then an addiâ€" tional six claims have been staked, reâ€" corded and surveyed, making twelve claims in all, totalling approximately 480 acres, During the summer of 193%, Mineâ€" finders Limited became interestea in the commercial possibilities of these refractory clays, and arrangements 'wore made to perform the necessary assessment work on the properties. | Commercial Tests Five tons of fireâ€"clays, silica sand arq kaolin from this shaft were taken to railhead and shipped to the clay â€" testing department of the W. R. Ridâ€" dell Company, Bucyrus, Ohio. From the results of this commercial test, complete data were secured on the best methods of grinding, drying, and burning the fireâ€"clays, on the range of burning temperatures, on the adâ€" mixtures of the various materials that were most satisfactory for the use reâ€" The preliminary tests and survey of market requirements having proved It required seven months before deâ€" taileg laboratory tests were complete on these fireâ€"clays to determine their suitability as refractory materials. Durâ€" ing this period, a careful survey was made of possible markets in the central part of Canada for a Canadianâ€"made fireâ€"brick. The preâ€"Cambprian ‘rim,‘ characterâ€" ized by kaolinized pegmatitic feldspar, outcrops at the foot of Long rapids, and, at a point a halfâ€"mile northwesâ€" terly from the Mattagami river, rises to a height of 120 feet above the river level and can be traced by its upland features westerly towards the Opasatika river, Evidence of feldspathic pegmaâ€" tites occurring two miles south of the preâ€"Cambrian margin was noteg while surveying rightâ€"ofâ€"way last fall. | Preliminary Exploration and Tests _ A visit was made to Long rapids in the summer of 1932, travelling by railâ€" truck as far as Smoky Falls, At the time of the visit, the Mattagami river was in flood due to heavy rains, with the water almost as high as in the| usual spring flood period. As a sequence, considerable difficulty was’ experienced in securing samples of the fireâ€"clays, most of the outcrops reportâ€" ed being covered by water.

This granite is a comparatively coarseâ€"grained type, rich in quartz and feldspar, and low in mica. Numerous dykes of pegmatitic material, high in feldspar, occur locally in the marginal area of the granite. Surficially, at least, the pegmatite is highly kaolinized and crumbles easily. The disintegration of these igneous rocks, yielding quartz grains and kaolin, accounts in all proâ€" bability, for the adjacent deposits of fireâ€"clay and silica sand. The variegat-l ed colours of the clays may be due in part to iron derived from the decom-l posed granite, j Having previously made an investiga â€" tion of the clays adjacent to the Temisâ€" kaming and Northern Ontario Railâ€" way, and these clays proving unsuitable, I turned my attention to the Mattagami river, first reported by Keele in 1919. This area offered possibilitiee within the economically permissible distance from rail transportation. Occurrence and Origin The geology of the Mattagami area has been dealt with in reports pubâ€" lished by the Ontario Department of Mines. The clays under exploration are definitely Cretaceous in age, and were laid down essentially in their present general attitude. Irregularities in the lower horizon of the deposits may be! due to subsequent folding, and irreguâ€" larities in the upper horizon to glacial ’ erosion. The clays are not ‘reâ€"worked‘ Cretaceous clays, but occur in bedded series, as is evident from inspection of pits sunk in the deposit. |caâ€"sand and kaolin, as well as feldspar, (By A. E.

A modern plant will be erected in Kapuskasing for processing the clays and for manufacturing a wide range of refractory materials. At the commenceâ€" ment, one kiln will be built of imported bricks. As additional kilns are required, fireâ€"brick and building brick made at the plant will be used in their conâ€" struction. The equipment will include a dryâ€"press machine and an auger or stifffâ€"mud _ machine, together with necessary tunnel dryers, screens and airâ€"separators for handling the clays ang sands. The work of processing the clays will be carried on during the entire year, using clays from storage, which will be shipped from the pit durâ€" ing the summer months. It is expected that the railway extension will be comâ€" pleted in time to haul out clay before the end of October of this yvear. Before cold weather set in, surveys were completed for a ra:itway line from the terminus at Smoky Falls to the properties, a distance of seven and oneâ€" half miles. This line will follow the west bank of the Mattagami along the section known as Long ranids At the property, about 40,000 cubic yards of overburden was removed from an area 150 feet by 350 feet and dumpeq on the river bank, exposing the fireâ€" clays in readiness for digging. This work was completed by August 16. Borâ€" ings were then made in the surface of the open pit, using 3â€"inch augers at 20â€" foot intersections. These borings disâ€" closed a greater thickness of fireâ€"clays than had been indicated in the logs of drillâ€"holes Nos. 1 and 16. The hole at location No. 35 showed a thickness of fireâ€"clays of 40 feet, angq that at No. 55 a thickness of 45 feet. The holes bottomed in fireâ€"clays; contact was not made with the lower deposit of silicaâ€"sand and kaolin. ' The programmse was to remove the overburden and open a pit in readiness to develop the fireâ€"clays. A start was made on May 3rd, the shovel operating under its own power. Considerable difâ€" ficulty was experienced in negotiating ravines and short gullies, as well as muskegs, between the Jackpine ridges. It took thirteen days for the shovel to make this trip, over very uncertain graund. r thina clays below the silicaâ€"sand and kaolin. 1934 Dev{lopment On completion of the |gramme, in February, 1934, finitely concluded that a lar of highâ€"quality fireâ€"clav. bal s | | Aiiimnited, was organizeq in March, 1934, and all subsequent operations at the properties have been carried on under this organization.
