He is willing to acknowledge that certain regulatory measures are necessary in the public interest, but he becomes discouraged when he has to meet petty and harassing regulations. "It has been the experience of every important mineral producinb country that the prospector does his best work under conditions free from hampering legislative restrictions. Furthermore. most of the important discoveries of the past have been made by the soâ€"called "grub stake," or freeâ€"lance prospector. Perhaps in the future the highly organâ€" ized prospecting expeditions may obtain important resuits.. Nevertheless, there will always be need for the "lone" prosâ€" a few years later. "Beyond question, such information has greatly ass prospector.

Although the whole area was soon blanketed by stakers, it was not until 1932 that Tom Johnson and Tony Oklend discovered what is now the Litâ€" tle Long Lac mine. Another report isâ€" sued in 1927 made special reference to the possthilities of an area in northern Manitoba. Guided by this R. J.

For instance, it was part of the contents of a report issued by the Geological Survey of Canada in 1900, which prompted Gilbert Laâ€" Bine in 1930 to search for deposits of radium in the east shore of Great Beat Lake, Northwest Territories.

The last barrier was removed shortly before 2.30 p.m., five hours and fifteen minutes after the accident had ocâ€" curred, bx the young man was dead when rescuers broke through to reach him. Only external signs of injury were a cut over one eye, and a bruised wrist. His chest, however, was crushed | by the pressure of earth and rock. I minutes curred, bw | when rescuer him. â€" Only Comtact with Macadam was main tained by voice until some time beâ€" tween 12 noon and 1 p.m., when the young man failed to respond to the shouts of rescuers. Fearing the worst cthe men redoubled their efforts in ; desperate race against time, hoping t« reach him before life was extinct. Dead When Resceue Arrives Two men, lowered down the chut by ropes, took turns in operating ar electric hand saw, cutting away the cribbing between them and Macadam one man was lowered down the interior of the chute by a rope to remove a porâ€" tion of the cribbin, so that Macadam could be removed via the chute if other melchods failed. While these operations were being carried out the backfill in the stope gave way again in a second and more ! serious slide that carried literally tons ;of rock and earth down on top of the ! imprisoned youth. Dr. Riches and Johnstone narrowly escaped being carâ€" ried down with the slide, but were able to make their way to safety by a marâ€" | gin of seconds. | _ Macadam was completely buried by [ the second slide, and it was at first ! thought that he had been killed. Later, however, he was able to establish comâ€" munication with his wouldâ€"be resquers again, answering their shouts of enâ€" couragement in muffled tones. Complains of Pressure He was "all righs," he said, and still able to ‘breathe normally, but he comâ€" plained of pressure on his chest and told rescuers he believed one of his | hands had been torn Ooff during the second slide. Attending physicians, however, attributed this belief to the fact that he had probably had the ; hand crushed and the resultant numbâ€" incss was responsible for the sensation. _ All work in the mine was suspended the moment the accident occurred, l m en n en mm m enc es crews in various sections of the workâ€" [ ings being informed of the accident by _a slight discharge of hydrogen sulphide } sas which was transmitted as an alarm signal. The men were taken to the surface and organized for rescue work, which was carried out under the superâ€" vision of J. M. Kilpatrick, Mine Suâ€" pirintendent, and Dick Johns, shift Bos.‘. Rescue work was both slow and preâ€" carious. Below the entombed youth was almost a hundred fees of backfill, which, it was feared, might give way if disturbed, burying him still further in the stope. There was also the posâ€" sibility of a further caveâ€"in from above, which would have a similar effecy. Job Requires Four Hours To combat this, cribbing was erected frcm the drift, and built up until it _ Macadam had been employed at the mine less than a week but he was by no means new io mining, having workâ€" [ ed for two summers underground at Green» Stabelle Gold Mines and a year \at Dome before coming to Little Lonsg bac to work during his summer vacaâ€" tion. . Toâ€"day he was engayed in the task of "mucking into a_â€" chuwe" or ; transferring broken ore from the stope to a vertical slide which carried it to waiting cars in the drift below. The occupacion is not considered hazardous and he had had considerable experâ€" dence in that phase of operations. Backfill Gives Way | The backfill of the stope, on which‘ he was standing, gave way at the edge of the, chute, carrying him some ‘fif-i teen or twenty feet below the level at which he had been working. A large quantity of the fill above cavodl in on top of him, burying Macadam | up to his armâ€"pits in earth and rock. He was not believed to have been seriously injured by the slide, as he was able to shout to men working with him, assuring them that he was ail| right. Pinned against the side of the| chute, however, and with hundreds of pounds of earth hemming him in, he was unable to extricate himself. Dr. J. V. Riches, mine physician, and R. J. Johnstone, firstâ€"aid man, immeâ€" diately descended the shaft and took up positions in the stope ready to adâ€" minister treatment to the injured youth as soon as he could be released.
