Once I found along the south shore a fourâ€"inch stringer which I panned but passed up. On the shore of the big peninsula jutting from the south shore I saw from my canoe a lot of rusty carbonates which I guess prospectors had been hacking at for the past 40 years. I went ashore and found gold. I found old holes within six inches of the gold veins where someone had just missed a find. "This was on July 7, after four days of ‘scratching,‘ and I discovered the main vein or the key, which I found to be 350 feet long by 18 to 25 feet wide. It runs from the northwest to the southeast. The vein zone lies in an arkose formation which is the same as found in mines such as Little Long Lac. The strike is the axis of the sinecline and is dipped slightly to the In the unhurried quiet way that prospectors have Bert Jerome, 32â€"yearâ€" old discoverer of a number of outstandâ€" ing gold fields in Northern Ontario, exâ€" pained how he made his latest and richest findâ€"told how he had visited the east bay of Opeepeesway twice beâ€" fors and had thought highly of the district which up until the middle of July had only one claim staked of any account. Today there are close to 200, all because Bert made his momentous Missed by Prospectors "I was travelling west from the narâ€" rows b:tween the east bay and the west arm of Opeepeesway Lake, lookâ€" ing for the extension of the Jack Shannon property," related Jerome. "I was panning everything as I went. ‘Prospectors coming out in the planeâ€" staking stages of the new rush to reâ€" cofd their claims, say they have never seen anything like the stuff they have been sampling on the shores of Opéeâ€" peesway Lake in Osway Township. Strike of Lifetime "In my 16 years of prospecting I have never struck it so promising," asserted Bert Jerome, field man for Mining Corâ€" poration, who arrived in Sudbury last weekâ€"end by plane from the new gold field. "I think I‘m sitting on someâ€" thing pretty potential, for I‘m getting it as high as $206. I got $10.65 across 18 feet in conservative grab samples of clean rock taken at intervals of two feet." Experienced prospectors who have seen the Jerome find are agreed that the occurrence is one of the best they have encountered, based upon the same stage of development. They state that additional disclosures similar to those on‘ the "Jerome holdings owned by the Mining Corporation of Canada will enâ€" sure a big stage of development for the area. Tom Jessup, according to reports, has staked ground on the west side of the Jerome discovery, and the activity is steadily extending eastward into Huffman township. ‘ With the discovery of what is termed by :prospectors as the key to the goldâ€" bearing sedimentary deposits of the Swayzeâ€"Three Duck area, is being ushâ€" ered in Ontario‘s latest and most enâ€" thusiastic gold rush. Several Sudtiury and district prosâ€" pectors who were early in the field, some of them on the ground before Bert Jerome made his promising gold discovery, have tied on to the origiâ€" nal find, and are preparing to underâ€" take assessment work immediately. ~â€"_!_!_ Registers 20 Claims Thursday, Stan Gifford, wellâ€"known prospector, of Cobalt, who knows the Three Duck Lake and surrounding country well, came to Sudbury and reâ€" gistered a group of 20 claims for himâ€" self and associates. The property adâ€" joins the Jerome holdings to the east, and is on the line of strike. Gifford is to :return north today and commence surface »xploration of the claims. Sucbury, Aug. 6. â€"Staking activity around the new find in the Opeepeesâ€" way Lake area, in Osway township, north of Sudbury, is reported continuâ€" ing at a high pitch, and further claims have teen recorded at the mining reâ€" corder‘s office in Sudbury, with more to com2>.

Marie mining division, has resulted in a more than average staking rush in that area. Prospectors have been taking up ground rapidly and a report from the Sault states all ground along both sides of the lire of strike, as projected. from the original find, will soon be taken up. Many mining scouts have visited the area and favourable reports are in cirâ€" culation. The prospector came out a week after finding the main vein and rec« orded nine claims. He returned and staked 15 and came out last weekâ€"end with two partners. As soon as he hears the recording results he will reâ€" turn by canoe, either over the water route from Groundhog River, or get off at milrage 129.3 on the C.N.R. and padâ€" dle the cne mile into the new field. Jerome found gold July 7. On July 11 he found the main vein. Bert‘s comment on this is "Seven come eleven â€"there must be something to it." "Considering the width of the deâ€" posits at Opeepeesway, which is about four and a half miles, the depth should be very groat. The only thing peculiat about the deposit is the lack of porâ€" phyry in any amount, although there are several outcroppings which would suggest underlying masses of the porâ€" phyry. The area is broken up and fractured, and altered so that it is hard to differentiate one rock from the other on the major folding which runs four and a half miles north and south across the lakae, This fold is unusual as the average widths for such folds are about one and oneâ€"half miles. Teepee On Claim An old Indian teepee sits on the rich deposit which Jerome will work. It has been there for 20 years. Close to it is an old rusty trap which is held in place by chunks of goldâ€"bearing quartz. Judging from the description which the prospector gave of the counâ€" try it will match anything Northern Ontario can offer in the way of scenic keauty. Stands of red and Jack ,pine come down to the water‘s edge, except for a marsh to the north of the lake which is said to cover about 30 per cont. of Osway Township. The lake has one peculiarity which is explained by the Indian name Opeepeesway, which means ‘"continuous bubbling." This phenomenon is explained by Jerome as the action of the water on the carbonate formation. First Lone Venture "This is the first time I have prosâ€" pected alone, and maybe that‘s why I made the find," smiled the prospecâ€" tor. "I had met a partner when I disâ€" covered the Horwood Lake in 1933, which was also located on a peninsula. In the summer of 1932, Joe Burke and I made a find for George Thorne in Rainy Township, in the Swayze disâ€" trict. When I found the Roche vein in Connauzht Township I figured I had the best thing in the country, but this Opeepeesway find is the best for conâ€" sistent occurance for panning and fot width that I have ever found. Both the Rainy find and this one occur on the same plane. Rush Reported into the Noisy River District "There is a subsidiary zone 20 feet to the north of the strike which shows gold. I would advise any other prosâ€" pectcrs going in to watch for the carâ€" bonate zone which is the marker for the strike. Assays in the country rock are as high as $14. Widely Staked ‘"‘The country is now staked three miles to the northwest along the lode and two miles to the southeast towards Three Duck Lake. If things prove to be as good as they appear, a few weeks will ste the country stakes along the 30â€"mi‘> stretch from Swayze in the northwest to Three Duck Lake in the southeast. "This sweetheart of the district," continued the prospector, ‘"is midway betwezn Swayze and Chester Township. The sedimentary deposits are favour« able throughout the Townships of Garâ€" net, Benton, Mallard, Eric, Huffman, Potier and Yeo.

C The coast port is Lae, where a wharf and broadâ€"gauge railroad, threeâ€"quarâ€" ters of a mile in length, have been conâ€" structed. The latter connects the wharf with the Government airdrome. January, February and March are the hottest months, with average of perhaps four or fixe degrees higher temperature than during the remainder of the year. Rainfall at the coast averâ€" agres tetween 250 and 300 inches per annum. The area is at an elevation of 2,500 feet above sea level, and the climate surprisingly good. Rainfall is from 60 to 70 inches annually, most of it fallâ€" ing in the late afternoon and night. Maximum daily temperature is a little below 90 degre>»s Fahrenheit. The G31 Junker, which is the type used, has a pay load of 5,800 pounds, allowing for a crew of two and suffiâ€" cient gasoline for a 3% hours flight. Avcrage fiying time from coast to Bulolo and return is about 75 minutes, By the reduction of gasoline supply, up to 7,000 pounds of cargo can be carried. Airports Whittled From Jungle The airports at either end, a distance of 50 miles, are over 1,000 yards long, by about 500 yards wide, and it must be remembered that every foot of the ground had to be reclaimed from primiâ€" tive jungle. The hatches are provided with conâ€" cave covers, giving an additional 12 inches of head room below the hatchâ€" way and directly over the centre of gravity. The interiors of the compartâ€" ments are free of obstructions, except two seats of stays, placed approximateâ€" ly 12 and 18 feet from the front. The airships are of the lowâ€"wing typ2e. so built that heavy loads can be craneâ€"loaded through a hatch directly on to the cabin floor, rendered parâ€" ticularly strong by the fact that the wing section runs underneath and forms part of the floor. For Heavy Freight The cargo compartnient is 24 feet long, 77 inches wide and 69 inches high, with hatchway of 142 inches in length and 60 inches wide. (From Globe and Mail) Charleés A.

The presentation took place at the thirtieth anniversary celebration of the society at the Hotel Plaza, New York, on May 10. The occasion brings back to memory the remarkable achievement which, so far as we know, was the first underâ€" taking of such magnitude ever attemptâ€" ed. That it was a complete success is proved by the figures of production which have since been published to the world. First, the jungle had to be cleared and an airport provided, with domestic accommodations for a large crew of white men and natives. There are 300 white engineers and 1,000 natives on the company‘s payroll, housed in two model towns, equipped with most of the comforts of civilization. * Special Planes Built ~ To transport the heavy machinery and supplies over the mountains from the coast, special airplanes had to be provided. None of sufficient capacity wer2 obtainable either in the United States or England, but were eventually constructed in Germany, under the direction of Professor Junkers. The project involved development of an immense dredging area on the Bulolo and Watut Rivers and a start was made in 1929. the initial steps preâ€" senting difficulties never before tackled in the histo.y of the mining industry. Among the Cannibals The ground was covered with dense tropical jungle, there was no possibility of a road from the coast, a Cirect disâ€" tance of fifty imiles, over mountains rising to heights of 6,000 feet in a counâ€" try infested with cannibals, one of the few on the face of the earth where such practices survived. Details of this phase of the project are not dawelt upon by Mr. Banks or his associates, but it may be imagined that many unpleasant rpisodes occurred in the early part of the conquest of the jungle.

(From North Bay Nugzet) Th itâ€"m in The Nugget of Wednesâ€" day tolling of a scientific party being established on the Belcher Islands, James‘ Bay, for the purpose of studyâ€" ing animal and bird life of that Far Discussing the Resour(iles in Area North of Cochrane LEN WADSWORTH Two Actionâ€"Filled Preliminaries as Referee North region, recalls early day hopes of that region contributing to the inâ€" dustrial growth of Northern Ontario, through business developed for the T. N. O. Railway. Investigations made by the railway to determine potential sources of busiâ€" ness included enquiries regarding the resources of the Belcher Islands and other sections of the James‘ Bay. It was said that the Belchers held enorâ€" mous deposits of iron ore which might be profitably mined and transported for processing in Ontario. It was also reportsd that coal and minerals had been discovered along James‘ Bay shores but no authoritative report was ever made public. It is believed that the Dominion mines and resources department hold authentic information on the wealth of Jamss Bay, including the Belchet Islands. J. H. Bernier, explorer, made a clsoe study of that region, and it was said his reports induced a large United States concern to send an exâ€" ploration party to the islands. One of the ecxplorers was interviewed by The Nugget some years ago, on his return from the Far North, but he declined to reveal anything about his travels or work. Hopes of the past are recalled by the threat of Premier Hepburn to abandon the T. N. O. Railway line north of Coral Rapids or Fraserdale, to return Moosonce and James‘ Bay to isol.ation. No doubt the government has arranged to review reports of exâ€" plorers who travelled the Far North to l?arn whether there is any possibility of development that might bring busiâ€" ness to the railhead at Moosonee. As recent as last year prospectors were flown north from Moosonse to study rock formations on the east coast of James Bay for big mining firms, but thszir finds have been kept secret. Whether or not iron in abundance, ccal in good quantity, gold and silver exist in the Far North may be reâ€" cordsd in government records, but the fact that explorers and prospectors perâ€" sist in looking over the country, deâ€" spits inactivity by those who preceded them, indicates that there is some reaâ€" son to believe that the Far North will yet show in the industrial picture.
