The Village Lakes sector of the Eastmain River country in- land from James Bay presents good snowshoeing anytime from November on, with up to three feet of snow long before Christmas. It was in this area a few years ago that Alex Mathias and Jack Kirk of Larder Lake and I did some winter staking and carried out an extensive E.M. and magnetomter survey. A tributary of the mighty Eastmain was known as White Beaver River it seems to me, and wound sowthward through the claims to meet the East- main. It was not small as riv- ers down here go, and after freeze-up presented an inter- esting challenge every time you had to cross it. Fast and Deep Running quite swiftly from high rocky ground to the north, it ran as deep as thirty feet or more in places, had frequent noisy and spectacular falls, and all in all, was fairly awe-inspir- ing. What inspired me most of all was having to cross it No matter how cold the weather got (and it got down to more than 30 below in November) there was no trustworthy way of knowing how thick or thin the ice might be at any given point_ Generally one has to cross where the claim line or picket line takes him, and the un- known depths have a direct ef- fect on the speed of the cur- rent and the thickness of the ice, or lack of it. A ten-inch cover of wind- beaten snow made everything look exactly the same. How To Sweat Routine procedure was to cut a 20-foot pole from the bush and carry it horizontally in front of you, in the style of a tight-rope walker. The theory was that should you take a dunking, the pole would span the hol' in the ice and give you some leverage with which to drag yourself out When people born and reared in the bush observed this ritual, a tenderfoot is crazy not to fol- low suit. Crossing fast water this way is one of the quickest and scariest ways I know to raise a sweat in sub-zero wea- ther without working at it. Those who have been dunked under these circumstances and made it a few miles home in frozen pants, socks, underwear and boats will never forget the red hot sensation, the shock and shudder and then the chaf- ed hide as the frozen garments abrade the skin while the vic- tim hustles along, hoping ag- ainst hope there are a few live logs in the camp stove. Reedy edges of lakes are equally treacherous, and espec- ially where there is' floating swamp. It was a small beav- er lake that gave us a hearty guffaw at the expense of Jack Kirk. A tall gangling ex-Engineers officer who served at Gibral- ter and on the Continent in World War H, he was brought up in the rough highlands of B.C. and never lacked for cour- age. This day we stopped short at the lake and scrutinized the fresh sheet of ice in silence. "Well, what the hell are you waiting for?" he barked, step- ping forthrightly out about three feet from the reedy tufts. Behold, it held. Jack gave a little jounce, to reassure him- self about the wisdom of his decision. Crunch! He dropped like a six foot three log up to his navel in cold water and mud. Bellowing like an enrag- ed bull, he clambered out with a great splashing and thrash- ing. Horrible were the curses that vibrated the spruce and jackpine as he hit for camp, spurred on by our helpless laughter. He had only a little over a mile to go, and Alex and I nev- er doubted that he set a new record for the mile, soaking wet Please be advised that there has been a revision in the bag and possession limit on ducks in Ontario for 1964. Ducks (in the aggregate) 5 per day but not more than 2 or Redheads or 4 of which may of which may be Canvasbacks be Wood Ducks.' On and after Oct. 23rd, 2 taken per clay. The possession limit on all species is twice the daily bag limit except for Canvassbacks and Redheads which are the ...sine as the daily bag limit. (Continued from Page Three) 15 mile spur line into the mine site at a cost of some million and a half dollars (one of its largest construction projects last year) to move the lead and zinc ore concentrate, I became quite excited at the prospects of writing about this Maritime venture. I respected the adamant "no statement" attitude of the ex- ecutive who sat opposite me that afternoon, however, and I have now been rewarded by a news item from D. V. La- combe, regional manager, pub- lic relations for the CN at Moncton. Public Mining Conscious Because of the recent stock market trading records the people of Canada are undoubt- edly much more mining cons- cious than they have been for several years. Few of us are aware of the operations of our mines except as a series of fig- ures in the columns of market quotations in our daily papers. Too many of us are inclined to assess the Maritimes as a wilderness of pulpwood forests and oval mines which have been closed from lack of mar- kets for this commodity. Min- ing possibilities of vast resotus TV Views The three American and two Canadian networks launched their fall schedules this Sun- day, Sept. 13. Difficult choices will be left to the viewers. Here's one example: Danny 8:30-9:30 on the CBC, and Red Kaye will be seen Tuesdays Skelton will appear at the same time on ITO stations (Inde- pendent Television Operators, of which Channel 13 in this area is a member.) A few predictions: Sunday at 6:30 CTV's Walt Disney will wipe out CBCs Candid Cam- era. Monday at 8:00 CTV's Dewitched will beat CBC's Show Of The Week. Tuesday at 8:00 CBC's Jack Benny will knock off Cry's Petticoat Junction. Thursday at 7:30 Outer Limits will make Some Of Those Days very short. * • * According to the ratings, it was another convention tri- anchor team had no effect. The umph for NBC. CBC's new averages showed 52 percent of audience for NBC, 35 percent for CBS and 13 percent for ABC. More people watched the Democratic Convention than the Republican. They had a Wednesday night peak of 41- million viewers, compared to the Republican's 36-million. It was strange that the peak was not reached on the final night when the Kennedy tribute was seen. * • • Ed Sullivan will feature a repeat telecast of The Beatles on Sunday. September 20. ces have only just begun to be realized. I believe even those who have never owned a speculative or blue chip stock in their en- tire lifetime will be interested in some of the quotations from Mr. Lacombe even as I was upon reading them. "The Bathurst Mining a n d Smelting development is one of the first large scale projects to tap the rich massive miner- al resources of northern New Brunswick which were discov- ered in the mid 1950's. "The mine is scheduled to produce 3,000 tons of ore daily this summer and present plans call for an expansion to 4,500 tons daily by fall. "The concentrate — in the form of fine granules — is loaded into CN gondolas and shunted to Dalhousie where it is being stockpiled on the wharf to await shipment to overseas markets. At Dalhousie the concentrate is unloaded by a payloader on to conveyor belts which carry it to the stockpile. "Canadian National Rail- ways recently announced that the terminal for its new 15- mile spur line has been named Brunswick Mines. Present rails way traffic from the mine site 20 miles from Bathurst, is be- ing handled by regular train CreWS. •
