Tor some reason, a
trip along the river
bank the other day
:.coking for scenic
views a la winter,re-
minded me of a job I
was on for Kerr-Add-
ison Gold Mines Ltd.
a few years ago in
the Massey, Ont.area.
It must have been
the sight of some
dark ice showing in
between the drifts of
snow that turned the
memory back.
This was perhaps
the lushest job our
geophysical crew was
ever on, from the
standpoint of comfort
and transportation.
We were sent to Ma-
rAsey to do a magnet-
cutter and E.M. survey
a large block of
.ms which Kerr had
..mer option. The job
:qtarted in December
.ncl finished about
the middle of January
40 the weather was
really wintry, Massey
being located about
40 some odd miles
west of Sudbury.
The ground was only
about five miles out
of town, so it was
arranged that the gr-
oup would stay in the
best hotel in town
and commute to work
by taxi, rather than
go to the expense and
delay involved in set
ting up a new camp.
Massey is a popular
centre for tourists
and fishermen in the
summer, and the hotel
was nicely furnished
in the modern manner,
the rooms having the
wall-to-wall carpets,
new furnishings and
drapes and top notch
inner spring mattres-
ses. What a way to
rough it 1
After a couple of
years of your own
cooking and diihwash-
ing in the bush of
Northern Quebec and
Ontario, it is not
exactly a hardship
to have good hot nou-
rishing meals served
on immaculate tables
by pretty waitresses.
Expense account meals
tend to be nothing
but the best, and the
company never ever
scrimped on food for
the field men. We de-
cided the company mu-

et figure that men
that can eat that
much must be doing a
hell of a lot of hard
work, and of course
this supposition was
not far off the mark.
We were.
After a good hot
breakfast, the taxi
would pull up on the
dot of 7.30 a.m. and
the four of us, eng-
ineer and instrument
operators would pile
in and be aped by a
back road to the st-
art of the trail.On
with the inevitable
snowshoes, and away
we would go, over
the rocky ridgy terr-
ain of the Sudbury
Basin, a fascinating
geological puzzle if
there ever was one.
Nestling in our day
packs was a substant-
ial lunch packed in
the hotel kitchen,
complete with fruit
or somesuch for dess-
ert, along with a th-
ermos of strong hot
coffee. About five
miles, eight hours
and a day's work lat-
er, it would be back
into the waiting cab
and roll into town,
glad to unzip the pa-
rkas and soak in the
heat of the car.
Next on the program
was to soak in some
more heat in the bar
along with a couple
of appetising brews
before dinner. Hot
roast beef, or fowl
or perchance a steak,
spuds and apple pie
and coffee would fill
the gaps, and an hour
long nap on those so
comfortable beds wou-
ld unkink the knotted
leg muscles.
Lunches for the fol
lowing day were ord-
ered at suppertime,
to include an extra
sandwish and thermos
of coffee, consumed
as a bedtime snack
consumed at the end
of the crvibbage game
or a session of plot-
ting the survey data
on the charts. It was
lovely at night and
hell on wheels during
the day.
Vertical rock out-
crops glistening with
ice threatened life
or limb of the inept
or unwary and the te-
mperature flirted reg
ularly with the sub-
thirty mark. Our line
usually was at right
angles to the strike
of rock, so it was
straight up and down
all day and a tough
place to line up pic-
kets. Sometimes you
had to sight back to
the sixth or seventh
back, the others bei-
ng out of sight in
some snowfilled can-
yonlike valley.
We were proud of
our ability to take
it weatherwise, but
Jack Kirk and I were
almost deleriously
happy to quit in the
middle of a lake one
afternoon when the
fluid in the non-fre-
ezable instruments
went solid at -27 in
a 25 mile wind. We
hit across country
to a settler's farm
