Diary of a Vagabond
While the warm, muggy wea-
ther continues, it seems an ap-
propriate time to recall the
joys and hazards of winter
travel in the northern bush on
the trusty old snowshoes.
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

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. * • •

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
