In the Northwest Territories it rises gradually from the Arctic Coast on the! north and Hudson Bay on the east to a height of about 1,500 feet east of Great Slave and Great Bear Lakes, This terrain is} rough, or hummocky, with in- tervening depressions usually oc- cupied by lakes or muskeg. Hun- dreds upon hundreds of these lakes exist and many of them are thickly spotted with islands; in, fact, a number of mining com-! panies have staked their claims on islafids and adjacent water. The lakes and muskegs orig- inated. when the continental shéet scooped out the softer places and feeder streams, The hills are generally low because of. constant erosion and the action of the ice. There are many indi cations that the area was flood- ed durmg the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic eras by salt . Most of the sediment accumulated by ice these salt water invasions has béen ¢: ied away, however, by natural erosion. There are also evidences of mountain ranges created earlier by folding action of the earth’s crust and later levelled off. Rare- | ly does one find a hill rising} niore than 1,000 feet above the surrounding country. Besides the rock types in which the various minerals (gold, silver, copper, coal, tungsten, ldad, and pitchblende) &re found, many traces of metamorphic minerals have been found, in- | cluding chiastolite, — cordierite staurolite, sapphire, dichroite, jade and lazulite. Many mining men confidently expect that sooner or later a source of diamonds will be found somewhere ‘in the north. This is based on the finding of loose diamonds in central and eastern United States. It is atsumed they Were torn from their original béds and transported south dur- ing the glacial ages. Some pros- pecting for gem stones has been carried on but gold deposits havc been. the principal lure which his brought the entire North- west Territories forcibly into the limelight. Some taken place on development has pegmatite dykes in the vicinity of Great Slave Lake where the beryllium, tan talum and lithium deposits have been Idcated. Fluorite has been reported from at least two sec tors of the Territories. Tin has been found in small quantity and it is to be hoped that a commercial deposit will be turned up. Canada has no tin mines nd must therefore import it in large quantity. In thé Cordilleran region of are you waiting for) By Cameron Dockery the week if you wanted them. Ten days had passed when he sold this one to me. He decided you'd lost interest in the deal.” Coulter didn’t answer, his face was ugly and sullen as he pivoted and reentered his office.

Jeff saw a road-runner scoot across from the shade of a Buckhorn to a clump of prickly .pear as though a buz- zard were after it, About a mile from McCloud there was a long chain of humpy sandstone formations; they were low in height and had once been jused as a mecting place by In- dians. Under one hump were the ruins of a sacred underground Kiva or ritual chamber, It had been. visited by archeologists and a few tourists but was seldom noticed, McCloud being off the | usual train or automobile routes.

The late J. M 3ell and Charles Camsell, the latter now Deputy Minister of Mines and Resources, while on a survey at Great Bear Lake, observed cobalt-bloom stains on rocks facing the shore. ce pe culiarity was recorded in their report which lay at aries un heeded for approximately thirty years. The man oO eventually gave heed had been trained in the Cobalt area of Ontario. It na turally aroused his curiosity and off he went to Great Bear Lake to see what lay beneath the stains. He felt that the cobalt probably indicated the aN of a silver deposit. He breug} samples back to Ottawa in 1930, where they were found to be a high grade of pitchblende, the, ore of radit which at that time commanded (and _ stili does) a tremendous price in world mar kets As everyone knows, uranium was later discovered these and the government appropriated the property when its full import became known, T war prob-; ably came along just in time to! prevent exportation of the min eral that was Cestined to change the entire course of international relations, if not life itself The Precambrian Shield ex tends from the vicinity of the mouth of the Mackenzie River southward and eastward counts for the great adian mineral resources if you will, a continuous faulted | region extending for thousand miles, all of it possible and ac several bulk of Can-j Picture, | MANY.
