Airplanes are bringing the min
eral development of the North 100
years sooner than would otherwise
be accomplished, a group of prom
inent Canadian and American
mining engineers decided at a con
ference in Winnipeg. Investiga
tion disclosed that of the 300 li
censed planes in the Dominion, 200
were used in mining operation. To
date, only a few operate in Alaska,
but the number is growing.
Grizzled prospectors with the
age-old glint of gold in their eyes,
are traveling by plane to “location”
and packing with them heavy ma
chinery with which to extract
from fissures the gold which has
accounted for the settlement of
much of the North American con
tinent. Thrilling tales are told in
Canada and in the American Rock
ies of quick dashes to discovery
lodes, not by canoe or dog team,
but by whirring planes.
A recent example was the discov
ery of gold in the Red Lake mining
area in 1926-27-29. John E. Ham
mell, a veteran of 59 years in plod
ding the cluttered Canadian trails,
spent months reaching the camp.
He came out in one hour by air
plane and then the next year or
ganized a $5,000,000 corporation to
prospect the inward reaches of the
vast Dominion.
Another young man hastily left
a train that had brought him from
Hamilton, Ont., to Sioux Lookout
and took an airplane 100 miles
northward. Soon he returned by
plane and posted at the recorder’s
office location notice for three
claims which his father staked
30 years before but had never
worked because of their isolation
from civilization and marketing.
Officials of the Sherritt-Gordon
Mines contracted with a commer
cial air transport company to
freight 70,000 pounds of freight 105
j miles northeast of The Pas, Mani
'toba. This job would have taken

The gold dredging corporation

in placing 25. caches of food in the j

Experienced prospectors point
out that before they had to work !
against the short Canadian sum
mers. Slow, laborious work it was,
they said, to drag in provisions by
portage and sled- When they ar
rived at one destination they had
to find gold or give up until anoth
er summer rolled around.
Now they can spot a likely place
from the air and motion the pilot
to go down. If the yellow metal is i
not to be found they take to the
air again and fly to another terri- I
tory. It is uncanny the way an ex
