Steady Progress At Agnico's Cobalt immes Since the new mill came into operation on July ls, tonnage mulled and production has been increasing steadily, according to mine manager, jim Armstrong. in this five arid one halt month period up to December Sist, 291,198 ounces of silver and 124,017 pounds of cobalt were produced for an average month- ly production of 107,490 ounces of silver and 22,600 pounds of cobalt. Kecently the mill has shown ability to easily handle JOU tons oi Lemiskaming sands or low grade feed together with 300 tons of siraight mine ore feed a_daily basis. Progress toward the new "Keewatin" silver ore at the Agaunico mine is well along. The winze preparation has been completed and sinking is now underway. It is anticipated that this new ore will be reached sometime in late February or early March. The company is now operating four mining units: the beaver- Temiskaming, the Lode Christ- opher, the Foster and the Agau- nico. The Right-of-Way will also be added to these produc- ing mines in the near future. elimination of payment for cobalt content of silver ores by Deloro smelters has occassioned considerable re- adjustment of the mill and its produced concentrates in order to cushion this blow, Until a satisfactory market for cobalt can be obtained, the company will be relying completely on the silver content of its ores. The company employes a total of about 140 men. Mr. Armstrong said, that the company's financial position has improved considerably.

Rolf Morral, divisional consultant of the Battelle Mem- orial Institute, became one of the five men in the world, out- side of the Cobalt mining frat- ernity, to be presented with the traditional silver fifty-cent piece good luck charm, given to him when, as guest speaker he ad- dressed members of the Cobalt branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, at the Legion Hall, Haileybury, Kriday night, January 24. During his talk, Dr. Morral, told his audience that while co- balt production was higher to- day than its demand, "the fear that there is not enough cobalt in the ground has been the main deterrent factor" in assuring it a larger demand on world mar- kets, Dr. Morral said he felt that while the demand for cobalt would remain stable in the United States, other world countries would use increasing amounts of the mineral for in- dustrial and other production. Cobalt is not a household a word as aluminum, but it does a ss for us, he said. Among the many uses of co- balt he cited ceramic painting, enamels, hardeners for steel, the cobalt bomb, alloys, corrosion resistances, inks electroplating jet engines, the treatment of anemia, vitamin B-12, and blue grass --known from before the time of Christ. Some 28 different industries utilize cobalt. "Excessive production goes into a _ stockpile,' he stated. *Recently I was talking to de- fence heads in Washington and they say it is no use using co- balt since there wouldn't be enough of it available." Illustrating his talk with slides, Dr.Morral also showed a 20 minute movie in color on the production of cobalt at Kata- nga in the Belgian Congo -- a mine responsible for 65 per cent of world production. Cobalt to- day is produced in Canada, the U.S.A., Russia, Finland, four parts of the African contienent, Burma, Austraila and recently discoveries were made in Cuba. He said Cuban mines would be shipping concentrates to New Orleans. He said there was reason to believe the mineral existed in outer space, Meteorites show a one per cent cobalt content. Earlier Dr. Morral was taken on a tour of Cobalt by G. P. Thoday, an official of the Cobalt Consolidated Mining Corporat- ion Ltd. The visitor saw geolo- gist Fred Thompson's astounding mineral collection, the Provin- cial Institute of Mining, Cobalts streets, the Cobalt Consolidated, and picked wp much old lore of the silver mining town from Art Moss, proprietor of the Co- balt Foundry, and Jim Arm- strong, manager of Consolidated. At the CIMM meeting he was introduced by Jack White who played the Cobalt Song on the piano and was thanked by Mr. Moss. Mr, Moss made the pre- sentation of the silver half-dol- lar fully engraved. Habeas Corpus literally means "you may have the body". COALT SCHOOL Cobalt may rent its old public school and the arena to the con- tractors installing the Trans- Canada gas line. An emergency meeting was held last night of the council school board and the community center board, Re- presentatives of the three groups will meet today with the con- tractors to negotiate terms. The meeting was called after Councillor Jack Mathews met with a representative of the contracting firm. Mr. Mathews said that the contractors may be interested in using the old school as a dormitory and the arena for storage. He also suggested that the council should immediately re- ister all unemployed men in the town, so that full information could be given to the contract- ors. He said that the pipe line company may give work to men experienced in rock blasting. The meeting agreed that everything possible will be one to welcome the gas line workers "Let's put a sign up--Working Men Welcome," school board chairman Arnold Todd suggest- Mayor Damiani said that the chamber of commerce could take on the job of registering un- employed in the town and im- mediate area.
