Temagami Indians Claim Interest In Sudbury Nickel Base Case on Treaty Signed in 1850. > Writing in "Grab Samples" in The Northern Miner, W. J. Gorman says:â€" Indian Treaty The Bear Island band of treaty Inâ€" dians are claiming an interest in the nickel mines of Sudbury. They are basint their claim on the Robinson treaty made at Sault Ste. Marie on September 9th, 1850, between the late Queen Victoria and the Indian chiefs Shing â€" wa â€" koose, Shaâ€"bowâ€"geshick, Dokes and other headmen of the Ojibâ€"â€" way tribe, The following excerpts are taken from the Robinson treaty: "This agreement made and â€"entered into this ninth day of September in the year one thousand, eight hundred and fifty at Sault te. Marie in the Province of Canada, between the Honourable Wilâ€" liam Benjamin Robinson on the one part on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen and Shingâ€"waâ€"koose, Shaâ€"bowâ€" geshick, Dokes and other chiefs and headmen of the Ojibway tribe of Indians inhabiting and claiming the eastern and northern shores of Lake Huron from Penetanguishene to Sault Ste. Marie and thence to Batchewanung Bay on the northern shore of Lake Superior, together with the islands in the said lakes opposite the shores thereof and inland to the heighth of land which separates the territory covered by the charter of the Honourable Hudson‘s Bay Company from Canada. "The said chiefs and principal men, on behalf of their respective tribes and bands, do hereby fully and freely and voluntarily surrender, cede, 2rant and convey unto Her Majesty, her heirs and successors forever, all their rights, titles and interests to and in the whole terâ€" ritory above described. "FPurther to allow the said chiefs and their tribes the full and free privilege to hunt over the territory now ceded by them and to fish in the waters thereof as they have heretofore been in the habit of doing. "The said William Benjamin Robinâ€" sen, on behalf of Her Majesty, who deâ€" sires to deal liberally and justly with all her subjects, further promises and agrees that should the territory hereby | ceded by the parties of the second part at any future period produce such an | amocunt as will enable the government | to increase the annuity (four dollars ; a head) hereby secured to them, THEN â€" AND IN THAT CASE THE SAME SHALL BE AUGMENTED FROM ‘TIME TO TIME" ... I It would appear from the wording of the treaty that the Bear Island Inâ€" dinas ‘are basing their claim on two premises. First, that the nickel mines li> south of the heighthâ€"ofâ€"land; secâ€" ond, that the region now produces and for years has been producing amounts which would enable the government to increase the per capita annuity. As to the location and the production there can be no argument. The Sudâ€" bury nickel mines are only about 30 miles in an airline from the north shore Estimated profit of $2,004,820, or $1.03 per share on the 1,946,,658 snares outâ€" standing, is reported by Dome Mines, Porcupine district, for the six months ended June 30, the first half of the company‘s fiscal year, This compares with $2,114,057, or $1.08 per share in the corresponding period of 1938, These figures are before depreciation, depleâ€" tion and adjustments of surplus and contingent reserve. Bullion production was $3,625,178 compared with $3,640,528, from which was deducted operating costs of $1,325,â€" 760, or $4,337 per ton, compared with $1,332.633, or $4,421 a ton and $1,744,539 for taxes and outside exploration writâ€" ten off, compared with $1,686,803.

Walsh and S. H. Whitfield, with headquarters at Hamilton, has been given a lease on gypsum fields in the Abitibi district north of Cochrane on the understandâ€" ing they must be developed within the next two years. Hon. Paul Leduc Ontario Minister of Mines, said yesâ€" terday. Mr. Leduc said new and extensive development of Northern â€" Ontario‘s resources will take place this sumâ€" mer, including exploitation of the Onakawana lignite field 160 _ miles north of Cochrane, working of lineâ€" stone deposits at Coral Rapids, 100 miles north of Cochrane, and develâ€" opment of the Abitibi gypsum deposits, which occur with regularity from a point a few miles north of the lignite fields to the mouth of the Moose River. Tolonel Malcolm Lang, Chairman of the board of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway, who reâ€" cently left to study lignite and softâ€" coal mining methods at Estevan, Sask., stated before he went he was confident that with the development of the Abitibi section assured, gypsum, china clay, iron ore and possible oil resources of the area would be developed by private capital.

In fact, a literal interpretation of the heightâ€"ofâ€"land clause would take Jn the mining fields as far north as Kirkâ€" land Lake and would cover the Cobalt camp. Of considerable interest also is the clause relating to the hunting and fishâ€" ing rights in the region. If memory serves, treaty Indians in the Sudbury areéa are subject to the game laws in the same degree as the whites. The writer does not believethat the Inâ€" dians are allowed the "full and free privilege to hunt over the territory now ceded by them and to fish in the waters thrreof AS THEY HAVE HERETOâ€" FORE BEEN IN THE HABIT OF DOâ€" It will be interesting to see how far the claims of the Timagami Indians will be The history of treaties with the natives, all over the North American continent is a series of chapters of broken promises,. The white man has baen exceedingly realisâ€" tic in dealing with the covenants made by his predecessors with the abori:zines. When he concludes that the advance of ‘"civilization" has proceeded to a point where it in not "practical" to recâ€" ogznize old treaties he proceeds to abroâ€" gate them. The news columns of the daily press only this week carried a reâ€" port that the Quebec government has "secured" 10,000 acres of land at Nedâ€" elec, Quebec, at the north end of Lake Temiskaming where an Indian Reserve has existed for 50 years. One wonders what becomes of the Indians who reâ€" sided on this land which the French Canadians now want to ‘"colonize."

With only two months of imillâ€" ing, net profits, after all charges, inâ€" cluding bond interest, were $65,798. The company is in a strong financial posiâ€" tion, wth net capital at $185,000, and prospects unusually promising. While the report is referred to hereâ€" in as an "annual" report, it covers the financial period from January 1st, 1838, to April 30th, 1939. Balance Sheet For the two months of operation to April 30, 1939, net bullion production wrs $177,937 and net income amounted to $179,154. Operating costs for the period totalled $73,213, or $3.64 per ton., leaving an operating profit of $105,941. Bond interest, writeoffs, taxes etcetera totalled $40.143, or $1.99 per ton, for a net profit of $65,798. s During the past year only a relativeâ€" 1y small amount of development work was done, states D. G. H. Wright, manâ€" alzing director, and for this reason there has not been a material increase in ore reserves over those reported the preâ€" ceding yead. He points out that much more definite information has been obâ€" tained by work between levels. A subâ€" stantial tonnage is antiâ€" cipated when development is completed in the footwall zone above the 100â€"ft. level. The‘ ore reserves figure does not include any tonnage in the new hangâ€" ing wall zone which it is considered may prove as, or more, important than the footwall zone. Miill at 400 Tons "For the immediate months ahead recovery will," says Mr. Wright, "in all probability, be in excess of ore reserve grade, for work both developing and stoping will be commenced in the hangâ€" ingwall ore zone. There will of necesâ€" sity be considerable variation in the monthly production figures, while knowled2e is being gained of the ore deposition in the hangingwall zone. Until this work has been done, no stabâ€" ization of production is practical or can be carried out. It is planned to mainâ€" tain tonnage at around 400 tons per day, and then to expand the developâ€" ment work up to the capacity of the present mining plant. It will then be our aim to increase production warâ€" ranted by development." A. James reports. "New levels were esâ€" tablished at 425, 550, and 675 ft. Some further lateral work was done on the 100, 200 and 300â€"ft. levels. The main drives west on the fourth, fifth and sixth levels were driven out to the footâ€" wall on these levels, This drifting disâ€" closed considerable sections of ore on the sixth level, which will be correlatexd upon further exploration. At the end of the period drifting was in progress along the footwall on the fourth and "During the period the shaft was furâ€" ther deepened to its present bottom, at 732 ft. below the collar," Manager V. fifth levels towards drill ore intersecâ€" tions to the south. "A notable feature of the 1938 work was the discovery of the high grade 503 quartz zone towards the hangingâ€" wall of "the porphyry to the south of the shaft. The 503 drift showed specâ€" tacular gold, and the average values in sampling over a width of five feet for a length of 267 ft. were $140.35. There are several parallel quartz zones yet to be fully explored. These are alâ€" so indicated on the 425â€"ft. level and are undergoing successful exploration on the 675â€"ft. level. On the latter horâ€" izon there is a large amount of quartz in this area, one vein having been drifâ€" ted on for 350 ft. in continuous ore.

"It is not too much to say that the discovery of high qcrade in this new hangingwall area of the porphyry to the south of the shaft opens up a whole new series of possibilities for explorâ€" ation and adds very ‘considerably to the ‘ore outlook for the property. "Reserves of r¢e sonably assured ore are estimated at 476400 tons of .262 oz. grade, allowing for dilution. These are taken to an average depth of 40 ft. beâ€" low the 300â€"ft. level, and the figures do not include the new ore tonnages beâ€" ing developed and indicated on the fourth, fifth and sixth levels. The figures also include only a moderate quantity of ore above the 100â€"ft. level, where a further considerable tonnage will probably be developed in future work. Additional to the above there was on the surface dumps at the end of the pericd 15,030 tons of development ore with an estimated grade of .18 oz and 680 tons of high with an estimated grade of 2.3 ozs." estimated grade of 2.3 OZS.
