dreault, 3 ESTABLISHED 1904 - Haileyburian-Cobalt Post B e 54 -- No, 47 Haileybury, Ont., January 2 Sp | ee es oc, COP. 7 Mr. J. Mason, last week's speaker at the CIM meeting held in the Legion Hall in Haileybury is shown above to the left as he converses with Mr. D, Atchinson, head of the Geology Depart- ment at the Provincial Institute of Mining. Mr. Atchinson questioned the validity of one of the prominent theories of migration of silver in the Cobalt area which was put forward by Mr. Mason in his talk. Jack Mason in his speech at the CIM meeting in Haileybury last Friday night urged that research work be done by the government in the Cobalt mining area. He said that research work lasting over a period of years was: partic- ularly néeded in this district now so that the ore might be more ably and-constructively -mined. "This is a question that con- cerns the economy of the north and the guarantee of the future of the country as it does the min- ers themselves," he said. Mr. Mason stated that there is a lot of silver to be had in the * Cobalt area but there needs to be the right cost price for silver in order that it might be mined. A single company cannot afford the expense entailed for long range research and this project if un- dertaken by government would be one that would benefit everyone.

"I am = very satisfied. with the situation as it stands now," said Mr. Cowan. z Mr. Cowan gave full-credit for the encouraging decrease to the Timiskaming Winter Employment drive to. take place during the month of February. "This is certainly an- indica- tion,' asid Mr. Cowan, 'that when the drive gets underway in February there should be a pro- gressive decrease. each week. Should such be the case, and I can see no reason why it shouldn't be, a near-normal unemployment situation will be the result."

Cross Lake O'Brien Mines, own- ed by Agnico, produced 20,000,000 ounces of silver between 1925 and 1938, according to Jim Armstrong, Agnico official and well-known Co- balt mining magnate. Half a mil- lion ounces of the metal. were also taken from the Reinhardt claim which has been described as "99" per cent unexplored.'" The deal concluded by Deer Horn recently, is expected to re- sult in open production about six months from the present time. "The outlook is very promising," Mr. Armstrong states. There is a good demand on the market for silver." The Cross Lake property, 1% miles from Cobalt, has a 525-foot shaft. The claim is totally under the small lake near Mileage 104. Across the lake, United Cobalt Mine is. re-opening. silver cliff workings on the King Edward property.
