Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Twenty-First Annual Report of the Bureau of Mines, 1912, Vol. 21: Part I
According as new discoveries are made and new mineral fields opened up, public interest is concentrated now upon one mineral, now upon another. At one time it is nickel, at another iron, and again it is Silver. The finds of gold at Porcupine have called attention to this metal and to other portions of the Province where it is known to exist. The present Report deals with a number of these districts.
Mr. Arthur L. Parsons, who reported in the Twentieth Annual volume on the Gold Fields of Lake of the Woods, Dryden and Manitou, was in the same field during the summer of 1911, and makes a second report under the above title.
The geology and mineralogy of the Porcupine Gold Area were described by Mr. A. G. Burrows in Part II of the Twentieth Report This area was again visited by Mr. Burrows last year, and his report is republished in the present volume, consider ably enlarged, and accompanied by a more extended and detailed geological map.
