THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 194, Gold Beltof Untold. Inthe Patricia District Reginald E. Hore, Consult- . ing Geologist of Depart ment of Natural Resources Gives Interview on New to The Times ' ; ---- ictions oy new gold belt. in the Patricia district, of untold wealth, was made late ly by Reginald E. Hore, consult- ing geologist of the department of natural resources of the Cana- dian National Railways, who has just returned from a swing around the Crow River, Shoniah Lake and Red Lake areas. Apart from the importance of the findings of the p itself was not without its high lights of romance, for it was ac- complished in the mid-winter, sub gero weather, and took hours, where but a few years ago, even in summer it would have taken weeks and in winter would have been im- possible, To do it, it all necessitat- ed the meeting of the primitive with the ultra modern methods of transportation and all forms of transport from the airplane, steam railway, dog teams and snow shoes were brought into play; but, Mr, Hore reports that the adventure against bitter winds and biting cold was well worth it for the trip es- tablished some months in advance of the old time prospecting season the value of the newest and virtu- ally unexplored gold belt of Nor- thern Ontario, The Trip The trip in brief, commenced from Sioux Lookout, a divisional int on the Canadian National flways, a little over a hundred miles from Winnipeg and in the party were J. Hammell, Northern Aerial Minerals Exploration Co,; A, G. Burrows, provincial geolo; gist; A, Kesley, natural resources dept.,, Canadian National System; and G, Duncan, engineer in charge of Northern Aerials Explorations. From Sioux Lookout the party flew, from east to west, nearly 200 miles over the Patricia gold belt and visited and examined many of the vrious claims, ' Five Conclusions As a result of his flight over this rugged wilderness of bush and uncharted streams, Mr, Hore has reached five important conclusions that the Patricia district will soon be producing gold and the numer- ous discoveries indicate that this is to prove a very big gold area. That the first mine to produce will be one situated at Red Lake, That gold has been found at many places, near Red Lane, Wo- man Lake, Clearwater Lake, Ram. bow Lake, BShoniah Lake, Pickle Lake, Fort Hope and prospectors will doubtless report many Dew finds this year. That these discoveries are, or - will be, in a belt of country about 200 miles long fn Southern Patri. cia and lie about 100 miles north of the Canadian National Trans- Continental line, ) That recent discoveries indicate that the district will have several big producing gold mines within a few years and possibly a much greater number than in Ontario's established mining camps, "Surface showings on the recent discoveries on Crow River, east of Pickle Lake, are very promising," continued Mr. Hore, 'The strip-" ping and trenching on two of the properties have disclosed import- what I sew it is reasonable to anti- cipate t in the near future, there will be two proven gold minks east of the Pickle." Mr. Hore Jointed out that it has only been a few months since work was begun on these properties but that the assay plans of surface showing are such ag to give a thrill to any- gold hunter, Different veries "The new discoveries at Pickle Lake are quite different in appear ance from those of Porcupine and Kirkland Lake," Mr. Hore said. "The quartz veins occur in banded grey silicon rocks, which contain some iron minerals, It is in such rocks that:-the Lake Superior iron ore deposit occur and the term iron formation is commonly given to theoutcrop. Gold has been found in the quartz of this type of rock in many places, but so far as I know, the Crow River deposits are the first of this type in Ontario to give satisfactory results from surface samplings, No doubt the success here will result in a more critical examination of other iron formation areas," Mr, Hore stated that the sampl- ings showed gold in the quartz veins and in the denser grey band- ed wall rocks, In one property a trench showed good values for a width of 40 feet and in other trenches indicated widths of about 18 feet for a length of 500 feet, While work is not so far advanced on the more recently discovered properties, the veins so far strip- ped carried good values and the first rock trench showed good width, Claims Staked At Shoniah, the party found 10 men engaged in stripping and trenching a find and they reported finding gold in every pan; but no systematic sampling had yet been done, Many claims had been stak- ed in this district and prospectors showed them numerous samples, "At Red Lake, we visited a mine under development," Mr, Hore said, "As I had not been on the property for a year, I was interested to see how it stood up under the work I found that at the lowest level the deposit is just as big and regular as near the surface and the assay plans, which were placed at our disposal show that there is already developed above the 500 foot lege! enough ore to keep a 500 ton mill busy for three years, As the de- posit doubtless continues to a very much greater depth, it will there- fore yield a steady stream of gold for many years. The ore (itself should yield about $7 per ton or $3,600 per day, a substantial in- dustry for this hitherto idle patch of wilderness, but one which to permit a profitable working de- mands cheap electric power, This, however, can be obtained by put- ting in a generating plant at the Ear Falls dam and the Hydro-Elec- tric Power Commission {is being urged to proceed with this work at once." Airplape Important Mr, Hore concluded by drawing attention to the importance of the airplane in the development of the Patricia mineral district, He point- ed out that during the few days they were away, the party had vis- ited several widely separated scenes of activity and that besides passengers, the airplanes carry freight and even dog teams. 'Had it not been for the planes," he ex- plained, "these properties would not have been developed until next summer and with their aid a great deal of exploration will be further done this winter, which should pro- ant ore deposits and judging from duce pew and interesting finds."

IN 198 Membership Of British House Now 715; Ten New Peerages Created According to the advance sheets of "Debrett's Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage and Companionage," 'the most important cl n the mem. bershin of the British House of Lords since 1915-19 took place in 1928. The membership is now 715, a gain of three over 1927, brought about by the following circumstances: Ten new peerages have been creat- ed, seven have become extinct, four minors have become of age and have entered the house, and thirty-one members have died, three of whose successors are minors, Of those who died probably the best known abroad were the Is of Abingdon, Oxford and Asquith, and Haig; Viscounts Cave and Haldane, and Barons Dalziel, Sackville and Tonnysen Among the dead was also the Earl of Mayo, an Irish Represen- tative Peer, which has brought that body, originally .of twenty-eight, down to twenty-two. The titles which became extinct were those held by Viscounts Cave and Haldane and Barons Buckland, Dalziel, Eversley, Lambourne and Strathclyde, By the death of the Marquess of Lincolnshire the mar- uessate, with the Carrington earls om and the Wendover viscountcy, became extinct also, but the two Carrington baronies passed to the brother of Viscount Wendover, who was killed in the world war, The Vis- count was the Marquess's eldest son, who, had he lived, would have suc- ceeded to the Marquessate, The peers created were Prince Henry, as Duke of Gloucester, and the Brus Atkin, Davidson and Lambeth, Ebbisham, Hailsham, Lu- gard, Melchett, Remnant, Strickland and Wraxall, The minor Peers who became of age are the Earl of Erne and Barons Acton, de Clifford and Portland; the new Peers who are still minors are Earls Haig, Oxford and Asquith, and Warwick, An im- portant peer to become of age this year will be the Duke of Norfolk, whose duties as Earl Marshal of England, as well as those of the head of British Catholics, are now being discharged by his uncle, Vis- count Fitz Alan. The sixteenth Duke of Norfolk will reach his ma- jority on May 30. : The father, or dean, of the house is still the Earl of Coventry, who suc- ceeded his grandfather in 1843, and his heir is his grandson, born in 1900, whose father died two years ago. But the house's oldest member is Lord North, who is now in his ninety-third year, having entered the house just fifty-nine years after Lord Coventry, In 1928, however, the house lost two of its most aged members, Baron Eversley, aged 96, and the Earl of Abingdon, aged 92, Changes in the Episcopal Bench of the house were also important: The resignation of Archbishop Davidson of Canterbury caused the following alterations: He was succeeded at Canterbury and in the Primateship by the Archbishop of York, ,whose successor is Dr, Temple, Bishop of Manchester; Dr. Warman, Bishop of Chelmsford, takes the See of Man- chester. Another resignation on the bench was the Bishop of Wakefield) while, on the other hand, the Bishop of Salisbury and Coventry received: seats in the upper house, : Th youngest peer in the house is now the Earl of Gainsborough, born Oct. 24, 1923, The large number of minor Peers, twenty-seven, is mea- surably owing to war casualties, The record of 1928 also shows the death of a number of heirs to peer- ages: Viscount Trematon, the only son of the Earl of Athlone; Viscount Broome, Earl Kitchener's son, an the next heirs of the Earl of Har- wicke and of Barons Ashbourne, Daresbury and Norton. By the creation of the widow of Viscount Cave a countess the number of peeresses in their own right was raised from eighteen to mineteen, NEWSPAPERS OF NORTH MANITOBA .

PORTS' GRAIN EXPORTS INCREASE Shipments From Vancouver Third Higher Than in 1927 Ottawa, -- Shipments of grain from the Pacific Coast ports of Canada for the first six months of the crop year have been much greater than in the year preceding. Shipments from Prince Rupert have declined slightly, but those from Vancouver have increased by more than a third, The shipments of grain from the two Pacific Coast ports from August 1, to Februray 1, in the present crop year were 57,327,000 bushels, For the corresponding period last year they were 42,859,000 bushels, Shipments from Vancouver this year were 55,208,000 as compared with 39,109,000 a year ago, while from Prince Rupert the shipments this year were 2,119,000 against £|3,750;,000 last year, The total shipments from Van- couver and Prince Rupert in the last crop year were 90,797,000 bu- shels. The volunre which has already passed through in the first half of the present crop year suggests 8 heavy increase in the export during the present year. This phase of the matter is, however, subject to quali- fication by the lower movement in grain at the present time as com- pared with a year ago. Receipts at Vancouver and Prince Rupert ele- vators for the last week in the first half of the present crop year were materially lower than they were in 1928. The crop movement during 11 of 1928 was much heavier than during that of 1927 and it is accordingly quite probable that the expoy®s during the second half of the present crop year will not be as great as they were last winter and spring.

Branch Lines "Bills Are Up Today Ottawa, Feb. 18--The Canadian National branch lines bills to provide for the construction of 691 miles of new lines, will be introduced into the house of commons by Hon. C, A. Dunning, minister of railways, today. The branch lines will be built in six rovinces of Canada, of which Sas- tchewan is apportioned seven with a total mileage of 400 miles, Alberta gets three lines, totalling 148 miles; Ontario three, totalling 35 miles; British Columbia two, totalling 41 miles; Nova Scotia, one of 67 miles and Prince Edward Island one of ten miles. * u total estimated cost is Atthe end of 2 's work, relieve nervous tension before eating.

Dr. Clark's theory collides squarely with the generally accept- ed one that animal life developed from lower to higher forms over a long period of time, In brief, Dr, Clark holds that all life is obeying a constant urge to produce certain forms and that when these happen to be born into a favorable environ ment they survive as new types of animals and plants, He contends that there is no first or last in life forms and that the amoeba and ver- tebrate might have been produced at the same time, If he is right, the time spent in studying Tossils and long buried bones and the painfully worked out hypothesis of the change in certain i forms has been work wast. e of the Darwinian theory brought about by natural and artificial sel- ection. While he admits that dif- ferent breeds of dogs and cats may be caused by the artificial selection of the cat and dog fancier, he would allow for no graduation between dogs and cats. Using the giraffe as an illustra. tion of evolution theories, Lam- arckians hold in substance that the giraffe grew his neck because his ancestors were forced to stretch to get food and that through exer. cise the necks grew longer, In some undetermined way this leng- thening of the neck became heredi- tary and the process was repeated until the giraffe was fixed as a type. Darwin's theory, with some mod- ifications, was that of the giraffe's ancestors some had longer necks than others. They had to feed on trees, as did the hypothetical an- cestors in the Lamarckian theory, and the ones born with long necks has a much better chance for sur- vival, This tended to eliminate short necks and preserve long ones, Dr, Clark, on the other hand, ex- plains the giraffe by declaring that the original pai r of freaks born of some other animals, possibly ante- lopes, and that the food supply was favorable to the preservation of the pair who came into the world for some mysterious reason with long necks, He said he believed that man ap- peared in the world suddenly and declared in somewhat the same fashion as the giraffes and sald that man was constantly throwing off. supposed abnormalities, idiots and also "supermen'" and that one had about as hard a time surviving as the other, because sub-conscious- ly the entire race conspired against the "superman" by shutting them up in an asylum of convention and restrictions, NAUTILUS One of America's finest and most modern fireproof resort hotels, An Unequalled Winter Playground 20 Acres of grounds in the center of all sport activities, Every known out-of-door sport and health-giving ree creation under ideal climatic conditions, 4 Polo Fields Superb Tennis Courts 8 Excellent Golf Courses Bathing--Yachting--Motor Boating Fishing 'onnected with the Nautilus arc sixteen non-housekeeping villas, GEORGE 8, KROM, Darwin, while held to be wrong in the main, is not entirely discard- ed, Within plant and animal groups Dr, Clark allows for the working -- of the pygmy frogs to tip a scale as much as one ounce.
