Never in any one year has so much money been spent in explora- tion as will have been spent this year. The operations are Dominion-wide, but by far the most important are those that are directed to areas underlain by the Precambrian rocks of the northern parts of the provinces of Quebec, On- tario, Manitoba and Saskachewan, and of the Northwest Territories. The most spectacular explorations are those that are headed into the more remote parts of the country <"anada. Hill the Mi creased by 40,552 tons and iron and steel by 24.992 tons.

Such cases as this are common, especially when rural schools are open- ing up and the wells must be cleaned up and the water made safe and pal- atable. It would be possible by prop- erly treating the water with chloride of lime to make the water safe for i^rinking without danger of disease, but no one wants to pick pieces of dead mice and rats out of his teeth. So about the only practicable thing is to dose the water heavily to kill any possible disease germs, then clean out a*nd scrub the walls. First treat the water in the well with chloride of lime to kill any dis- ease germs which might be present. .\s you do not give the depth of the well, I would suggest that you secure about three pounds of fresh chloride the increase of boat transportation on | "^* ""^« '^"'f """^ '^ "P '" ^ tub full of water, and pour this into the well. pro- vided, that that large ore-body was finally to be exploited, and that other large ore-bodies in northern Manitoba had been discovered, the Department of Mines at Ottawa was flooded with requests for information regarding that part of the country.

One company alone has sent by boat ten parties of two men each and the neces- sary supplies. These will be assisted and directed by men sent in by aero- plane. In the more readily accessible areas and in areas where transportation fa- cilities are of the best, search for more mineral deposits is being prose- cuted with feverish intensity. This takes the form of surface prospecting and of underground testing by dia- mond drilliug, shaft sinking and drift- ing.
