A new map of the Chibougamau minâ€" ing area on a scale of four. miles to one inch has just been issued by the Deâ€" partment of Mines and "Resources. The region mapped lies chiefly within the county of Abitibi in the province of @uebec and is about 300 miles north of Ottawa or Montreal and a little over 100 miles northWwest of Lake St. John. New Map Issued for Chibougamau Area Something of the History of District. Much Informaâ€" tion About the Country. Copper and gold deposits occur uthâ€" in the territory and began to attract attention as early as 1903. The disâ€" tance from a railway and the rather heavy growth of vegetation incident to heavy precipitation hampered systemaâ€" tic exploration. In recent years, when aerial transportation, requiring one to one and a half hours of Aying time, linked the region with the transconâ€" tinental line of the Canadian National Railways during the greater part of the year, thus making possible more effective exploratory and development work. Air transportation companies, some operating from Oskelaneo and others providing a service from Senneâ€" terre and Lake St. John now ensure rapid transit facilities into the region. Bourbeau and Opemisca Lakes in the' northeastern part of the map drea. They have been developed during recent years in some cases by surface work and drilling and at Opemisca lake and Cedar bay on Dore lake from shafts 300 feet ard 500 feet deep. The mapped area extends from latitude 49 degrees to latitude 50 degrees and from longiâ€" tude 74 degrees to longitude 76 deâ€" grees, about 69 miles north and south and 90 miles east and west. Two Canoe Routes into Region Construction of the transcontinental line of the Canadian National Railâ€" ways some years ago, and the more reâ€" cent prospecting activity in the Chibouâ€" gamau area have brought into proâ€" minence a canoe route leading north from Oskelaneo, which is on the railâ€" way about halfway between the City of Quebec and the Town of Cochrane. Following down Oskelaneo river for the first ten miles, the route continues without portages for a distance of sixty miles through a chain of waterways forming Gouin reservoir. Beyond, the route is through a heavily wooded country, with entrancing lakes that are not too large to be crossed during wirdy weather. Sites for camps are located at the portages, owing to the density of forest growth. The final section of the trip is across the height of land, after which Lake Obatoâ€" gamau is reached, and finally Lake Chibougamau. Excellent Fishing Area Throughout the region moose and bear are to be found, while many of the waters contain speckled and lake trout, pike, and pickerel. All of the roulte are shown on the Oskelaneo, Chibougamau, and Gouin Reservoir map sheets, the first two of which are now obtainable, while the latter is to be issued in the near future. An alternative canoe route into the region is from Lake St. John via the Ashuapmuchuan river and a number of lakes and streams. After crossing the height of land toward the end of the journey, Lake Obatogamau and finally Lake Chibougamau are reached.

"The projected early construction of a winâ€" ter road from St. Felicien near Lake St. John to Chibougamau a distance of 130 miles, is expected to be of griit value in developing the area. A winâ€" ter road was built northerly from the transcontinential railway to the Opeâ€" misca Mines property in 1935. At Dore lake, a provincial forestry headquarters station and a mining recâ€" corder‘s office are maintained by the Provincial Government. Two trading posts are also located there.
