At this time of year we hear a great deal said in praise of prospectors, of the sixth sense which they have developed, of their nose for ore. They ars apâ€" plauded for their endurance of many hardships, for their struggles with bad weather, flies, thick bush and swift water. Champlions of the craft have said that they are the backbone of the mining industry, that without them and their highly skilled work there would be no new mines, that we would witness a diminishing national income., MONDAY, MARCH 14TH, 1938 Easy Prospectmg ' Right in the Home: German Gentleman C Show You How. All this talk proves to be so much nonsense. Some wiser folk have long suspected that much that was said was merely propaganda, A romantic aura has been thrown around the prospecâ€" tor. In the light of cold science he is reduced to the proper perspective. He is merely a camper who wastes months in the bush, searching in his crude way for mineral deposits, sometimes blunâ€" dering on one. It remained for a gentleman in Gerâ€" many to rend the veil, No bush hardâ€" ships for him. He sits at home and prospegets in the greatest comfort. He will do it for you, too, for a modest conâ€" sideration. The following is a letter reâ€" ceived from Freiburg, Baden, Germany. a couple of years ago by a prominent citizen of Beardmore, Ontario. Apparâ€" enly news of the gold discoveries in the region had reached the ancient univerâ€" sity town in Germany and this scientist decided to give Canadians the advanâ€" tage of his great knowledge: "In aur local newspapers there is toâ€" day a short notice about discoveries of gold ore depo‘sits at or near your town. The strike being so rich that a town is rapidly growing up, and a bank having already been established there. "I am a dowser, that is a man handâ€" ling a divining rod. I have evolved a method by which I am able to locate ore deposits without going personally over the ground to be prospected, simâ€" ply by working on a map or a sketch drawn to scale, The larger the scale. say about 1:25,000 or 1:50,000. the easier it will be for me to locate the ore bearâ€" ing ground, and also the easier for you to find the place in the bush. There need be no names on the map; you may copy it in pencll or ink from some local map. If there be a photo of the district taken from the air (bird‘s eye view or aeroplane» that would be first class. "I should furthermore require one or two small samples of the auriferous rock of the size geologists would take. There need be no chunks of gold in them..â€"I take it from the name of the place that there is no placer mining but jJust.quartz mining there, the quartz containing visible gold specks. "Now. if you or one or the other of your friends wish to go in for mining or at any rate locating some claims before the snow begins to fall and the ground to freeze just send me some such map and samples, "I have been to Canada myself beâ€" fore the war, also to British Columbia where I acconpanied ‘timberâ€"cruisers‘ through the Coast Range and I know what it means to go prospecting in the bush. â€" But if you have a tip that gold ore is present in a definite district, it saves you a lot of time and trouble and mushing around. It enables you to work a definite area systematically. In wooded country the outcrops are not always visible for a mile. "I should like to know also what reâ€" muneration You would be prepared to pay me in case my indications enable you to fine good ground and to deâ€" nounce some claiuns, There need 22 no cash in advanceâ€"that would be a ridiculous demand, but I may squggest that you pay me five per cent of the money you get when selling your claims or reasonable share in the profits in case you decide working the clains yourself, Kindly let me have your views on this matter.

Annual Meeting of Verity Porcupine Negotiations Under Way for Underwriting Block of Stock to Finance Developâ€" ment Work. (From Clobe and Mail) _ There is seldom an ill wind that does not tiow scine one some good, and it seems to us that if financial leaders and brokers of Canada possessed the necesâ€" sary enterprise, a real beneficial breeze cculd now be extracted from the cyâ€" clonic ‘blasts that have lately assailed the New York Stock Exchange and completely changed the complexicn its affairs. The tragic failure of a former Preâ€" sident of the Exchange will be a matâ€" 1t- r of gcneral regret, particularly among members themselves, since it has given that superâ€"bureaucracy, the Securities and Exchange Commission, a chance to say "We told you so" and thereby justify increasing pressure against the methods of the greatest finâ€" ancial centre in the Americas. The trouble with Canadian financial z leaders, or part of the trouble at least, | is that they have hung on tco long to | the skirts of this Wall Street financial lcstopus. The question of what it did, or proposed to do, has been out of all preoportion to its real influence on matâ€" ; ters financial in Canada, if leaders icould but forget their fear or inherent |bslief that the institution was necesâ€" sary to the financial prosperity of this Dominion.

Benefit to Canada in Affeir at N.Y. True, in the case of interlisted mining stccks, some repercussions must necesâ€" sarily be felt as prices fluctuate there, but what real reason there can be for a goneral decline in Canada, particuâ€" larly in mining stocks, because someâ€" body organizes a raid on or a boost of some key Wall Street security has alâ€" ways been quite beyond us. Thsre is not the slightest chance of the attitude of the S.E.C. or a dozen cther sncoping bureaucracies of the same type eradicating the speculative desires of the United States public, even thcugh they may clutter up cone avenue through which the spirit has been manifested in the past. As we see the situation today, Canaâ€" da never had such a chance ts bring to herself a spssulative fortce that can be turned to tremendous account in the grsat mining areas yielding their gcold, or which still remain to be found and prevpected in the vastness of the North. Let the Toronto Stock Exchange make a drive for listing of United States securities and thus give speculaâ€" tors and investors on the cther side of an opportunity of testing their luck or their wisdom without the claanmnmy hand of restrictive bureaucracy wild. smsove the impediments to the right of contract, as exemplified in our own repressive securities acts and hold fast to strict regulation, for great and small, under griminal laws. Then, and then only, will come reâ€" cogn‘ticn of the fact that Canada reâ€" mains a free country, in finmance as in sccial matters, inviting all to stculate There is not the slightest doubt that the underlying purpose of the Roosevelt Administration is to hamstring the New Â¥crk Stock Exchange completely, and there is still enough of the spirit of fresdom left in the United States to} fresdom left in the States to insure heavy movement of capital this way if and when Canada proves worthy of takinz her place, not as a servile subsidiary cf Wall Sireet, but as its equal; yes, supsrior, in everything that spells fair treatment and freedom. And the first step in thai direction would be to softâ€"pedal the New York qrctations and play up cur own. Crillia Packetâ€"Times:â€"What is the| world comirg to?

In this 46â€" page publication will be found two imâ€" poritant geological reports on areas unâ€" til now not very well known from the mireral and geological point of view. The first work is Dr. L. W. Jones‘ report on the "Upper York River Map Area,," peninsula‘; and the second, by. ABbz J. W. Laverdiere, treats with the! geclogy of ‘"Marbleton and Vicinity, Dudswell tcwnship, Wolfe county." | The report by Dr. Jones, his ninth on Gasps peninsula, describes an arga of about 215 square miles and completes ths geological survey of a belt extendâ€" ing eastward for a length of about 70 from the centre of Gaspe peninâ€" sula to the vicinity of Gaspe bay. The econcmic possibilities of the mapped area, are summarized by the following lines extracted from the tex:: "There are some indications near York lake of possible deposits of copâ€" per, lead and zinc. The present invesâ€" tigation contributes information relatâ€" ing to the search for petroleum in eastâ€" ern Gaspe, and, if success is cbtained in a renewsd effort to find oil in the region farther east, the scarch may be extended to some parts of the area described in this report." This detailed work, besides explaining the geology of the area, contains inâ€" teresting accounts on its principal reâ€" scurces. In his report., Abbo J. W.
