new method for mining in gold fields saskatche wan rock needs different technique goldf1elds s a s k should saskatchewans first golt camp join the ranks of canadas mineralpro ducing areas it will write new chapt ers in the dominions geological re cords by extracting gold profitably from a new species of formation lake athabaskas gold comes in granite the rock in which gold values are found is heavily fractured and is networked with quartz vein- lets this comes in huge zones and the task of the mine-make- is to ascertain if these are of sufficient size to warrant largescale mining operations technicalities apart it is apparent principal operators of the district believe large lowgrade mines are to be found in the athabaska field for on two properties alone consolidated smelters

delineate the vast fracturedgranite zones and est ablish the presence of a largescale mine that the major operators of the district have reason to believe such mines can be established in this new geological setting is discernible from the huge sums of money which are being poured into development in the farflung camp 300 miles north of the nearest railway line distance is no problem however for freighting costs from the end of steel are lower than in many eastern mining areas lying within 100 miles of the railway a cleancut water route without portages has been a major factor in the

bank to supply tho drainage and to keep the water from gettiug down to the base of the wall i would be pleased to have any advice you have to offer or a new idea which has been successfully tried i would like to know if such a wall would be sufficiently thick at c inches for the first 0 feet of its height and tapering down to 4 inches at the top the wall would not have a greater height that 8 feet it would also be reinforced with iron rods answer i would advise you to build a wall with footings at the base as to dimensions for a wall 8 ft in in height the wall should be 8 inches wide for the first fi ft of height nnd then taper to fi in at the top the dimensions of the foot ings or base should be 13 in wide in front of the wall and 2 ft 3 at the back the footing should be 12 deep the
