Engineer Gave -
Lecture Before
Usk Audience

J. D. Galloway, resident mining
- engineer, delivered: ‘a lecture on
.The Prospector ‘and His Problems

at Usk Thursday to an interested |

audience. |
-He outlined methods by which

the prospector could ascertain the
value and volume of his finds in

order thata fair selfng price

might be arrived at, and dwelt
‘on the failing of many prospectors
in asking a‘ price without due
. regard to the possible value of the

- property, resulting ‘in. the block-

ing of capital and consequent

_inactivity.in the country, although

the price of a prospect could not
be based-on anything definite, but
must be arrived ut by careful
study from every angle.

The method of sampling one’s
own prospects often proved mis-
leading, as it was only human
nature for a prospector to be par-
tialand not pick his sample in

conformity with his outcrop, and
fool himsetf into making a fruit-
less search over certain periods
that could be spent to better ad-
vantage exploring other veins,

It appeared to the speaker that
there could be a better under-

a standing between the ‘prospector

and ,the capitalist, whereby the
latter could, he enabled to develop
a sufficiently-explored prospect of

Assaying’ was important’ and

Be should be propérly taken over the

mineral body, as minerals very

, often have deceptive appearances

and, unless the prospector were

a
t

very familiar with his ore, a loss
of time may. result in following
it. Often the prospector has but
httle méans for much assaying,
and under such conditions if the
prospector were to sample his find
properly, state its location and
appearance, he would toa limited
extent assist in ascertaining its
value.

In describing the northern min-
eral field the speaker said there
appeared many comparisons in the

the opportunity of investigating
that gave rise to splendid results
from actual development.

One admonition he had for
prospectors was not to leave their
ore and go into any éxpensiye
crosscuts until it had been proven
on the surface. In many out.
croppings of mineral in well-de-
fined veins there is usually a
parallelism of veins is. a well-
defined zone. very often coming
from the same source uf mineral:
ization, and in many cases in this
north: country ‘such occurrences
are known from further explora-
tion and may oceur to existing
veins if prospecting were made
to find them, and to prospect
alung ‘the strike of the’ veins
where richer shoots mav be found
or further extensions,of thesame.

The speaker drew attention to
the action of the railway in low-
ering. its rates, and instanced that
ore from Hazelton could: be ship-
ped to the Granby smelter for $8
per ton, inéluding - treatment
charges. This will place many
prospectors under the head of
possible shippers andwill have
very far-reaching results in onen-
ing up the district for siliceous
ores. ‘

John Reid proposed a vote of
thanks to Mr. Galloway and was
seconded hy A. J. ‘Thompson;
while Chairman J. D. Wells ten-
dered the vote and renewed their
inyitation for further discourses.

we expect the house to be sold
