The present crusher equipment to serve one mine above the 400 is located on the 000. whence it droos to an ore pocket and is hci_ted up the main shaft.

' Another way of figtu'mg is by con- sidering the underground work com- pleted and applying it to earnings. The total at the end of last year was 82.227 feet. including br'xhole raises and stope development. and production since May, 1936, to end of 1938 has been 36.166647. That shows each foot of underground work has resulted in recovery of $75. Last year, we“: completed reached 29.- 447 feet, and if that be applied to pro- duction of $3,313,829 the result per foot would 'be $112 plus. We are inclined to think that may be a rccord. even in Porcupine. where large orebodies are the rule rather than the exception. Mill Reflects Permanence The mill was evidently designed in the assurance that it is going to be a The average width of mass or lens is 50 feet and in places it. is well up to 70 feet. From the 200 we crawled down a manway to the 400 and back to the shaft. The broken ore in stopes east of the fault placed at over 300,000 tons or over six months supply at, pre- sent milling rate. Deeper Ore Mass Found Onother orebody. apparently of the same characteristics and extent has been located by diamond drill on the LOGO-foot level, on both sides of the fault. showing a. length of 900 feet of about the same grade as the upper ore- lbody. under which it seems to lie. The east, end of this ore-body is still open. No estimate of tonnage has. of course yet been possible there. but there is not much doubt that it. will largely add to the nearly one and three-quarter mil- lion tons estimated as proven in the last report. At a matter of fact. it may prove of higher value. as considerable ‘free gold has been observed. 4.7 Tons Per Man Shift ‘Some idea of the size of the ore-body now being mined. and the reason for low mining costs. can be found in the fact that. with 340 men employed un- derground. each man produces 4.7 tons per shift, to keep the mill going at 1.600 tons a day. The entire payrollâ€"sur- face, mill and unclergi‘oundâ€"embraces 490 men. so that if that, number 'be con- sidered. the man-shift ore production the assurance that it is going to be t long time before the mine's resource. are exhausted.

IJakC Tack- Canada. tric part in Feb- decline in Bank Cl] 01C The situation in the Porcupine camp in regard to beaver is an illustration of how difficult it is to legislate in re- gard to fish and game conservation without some injury somewhere to the cause. Throughout Ontario generally beaver have multiplied to an extent to justify an open season. Indeed. in some places the. beaver have become an injurious fact. or at least a serious nuisance to farmers. settlers. lumber- men and others. In the Porcupine area. however. there are a number of an injurious fact. or at least a serious nuisance to farmers. settlers. lumber- men and others. In the Porcupine area. however. there are a number of colonies of beaver. apparently of no detriment to anyone. and at the same time a feature of interest in the sec- tions that they have favoured by their homes. As an example. take the case of a small colony of beaver on a river only a few miles south of Timmins. During the past few months scores of people have been making regular visits to this colony and enjoying the sight of seeing at work the industrious little creatures chosen as the emblem of Canada. In this colony there are probably ten adult beavers. It would surprise most people to know how much genuine interest and pleasure has been given to manyâ€"adults and younger folksâ€"by this colony of beaver near here. There are possibly twenty other similar colonies in the area around Timmins, and these also have proven a source of pleasure and interest to those who love nature and are con- cerned in conservation. There is general regret accordingly at the recent announcement of an open season for the trapping of beaver. this open season applying to this territory. The open season seems to be justified generally in view of the increase in the number of beaver in many parts of Ontario. It is feared, however. that the efleet, of it here will be to destroy all the beaver in the area. The open season is to be from March 25th to April 15th. inclusive. The part of the province lving north and west of the French and Mattawa rivers and Lake Nipissing. and including Manitoulin Island. together with that portion of Nipissing district lying south of the MattaxJa river. excluding Algonquin Park. are the northern districts where the open season will apply, together with several Counties in Eastern On- tario. Each trapper will be permitted )0 beaver and will be required to dis- pose of all pelts within ten days of the closing of the season. If the several colonies of beaver in the Porcupine area cleaned out by trappers this yearsit will mean that it will be years before there will be any beaver again in the area. There may be a few who may think this a good thing. but the majority will view the prospect with regret. Mr. Phil Bou- dreau. local game warden. told The Advance last week that he knew of a number of beaver colonies in this im- mediate district and had been watch- ing them and seeing that they were fully protected. He thought there was a danger of the extinction of the bea- ver here through the open season but hoped that some of them would be left. It was impossible to make regulations fit every particular section and he could see nothing that could be done in this particular case except for everybody to exercise all possible good sportsmanship and consider the mat- ter on as broad a scale as possible. He assured The Advance that he would do all possible to protect the beaver, as he was a strong believer in would do all possible to protect the Denver, as he was a strong bellevcr in conservation, but properly licensed trappers would have their rights dur- ing the open season, though he did hope that some of the colonies would be left. the general situation had been well handled. It was to be hoped that. the people in general and Lrappers in par- ticular would give the same broad thought to the matter, in which case the isolated .small colonies of beaver near here would be left. undisturbed.
