Sept. 39. 1930 News of the Mines AROUND PRINCE RUPERT Experiment With Black Sand For Gold Said to Be Success Thutadc Lake Copper Premier Enters Nicola Valley Experiments carried on recently with the Hanssen positive separation gold saving machine on the black sands of the Queen Charlotte Islands are reported to have fully proved the efficiency and capacity of the machine. The operation was carried on under the supervision of R. G. Mellin M. E. at Martell Creek on Graham Island. The machine is an improvement of an old principle, that of amalgamating gold with mercury by means of centrifugal force in a rotating bowl. The power required for the operation is small and the machine is marked" by simplicity of operation. The per- is to connect Fort Graham with formance and efficiency of the machine Is said to have been tested both as to continuity of operation and efficiency of recovery. Thj edly rich, there may be other out-croppings of equal or even greater promise. On the holdings of this syndicate, Duncan says, there are three major outcrops. The work now being undertaken consists ot stripping the ledge. Sufficient work har not yet been done to determine whether the showings occur on one ledge or on separate ledges. At th point where the most work has been done, the ledge appears to have width of 100 feet the matter carrying quartz with remarkably high copper content and small values in sliver and gold. The outcrops occur in a mineralised area of great extent, the prospecting of which may disclose values even greater than those already found. Transportation will be a big factor in determining the mineral development of the district. One encouraging feature, however, is that the preliminary location of the projected railway of the Consolidated Mining Si Smelting Co. which tidewater at Stewart runs nearby. If this is proceeded with, an early development of the Thutade Lake, district may be expected but. whole operation was marked by ! otherwise, it will probably continue careful sampling. The tailings were sampled each day in the tailings pond after the water had been turned off by trenching the tailings at four points across the pond within 20 feet of the tall race. From 12 samples of tailings taken and assayed the returns from one sample gave a trace of gold. In the remain-, trig 11 samples the returns were nil.

Jufk Duncan is back to Prince Gcnn-p after spending a month in the Thuiade Lake district prospecting copper claims held by a Prince George syndicate and from which assays indicate the existence of phenomenally rich copper ledges. Duncan made the trip in on the plane "City of Prince Oeafge" in three hours. By other means of transportation, the distance could not have been covered in less thnn three weeks. He is Inclined to doubt that the Prince George syndicate has succeeded In locating the fa 600 shares of which Premier will receive 2,60000 shares and Planet 2,400100. The directorate of the new eompany will consist of seven, three of whom will be nominated by the Planet people. The Planet mine Is generally recognised as a valuable property and has carried on during the past two years notwithstanding many handicaps, the principal one of which was lack d capital for aggressive development.
