HISTORY. The first discoveiy of ore was made in 1897, by Mr Wm Hussey of Bathurst. In 1902. this gentleman-tokether with «l.rTi ^"" -1 ""[ Bathurst-securod "Rights to Search" upon several 5 mile locations in the district. During 1903, reore- sentatives of the Dominion Iron and Steel Co visited the property, and some trenching and test-pitting were done. In the autumn of 1906. at the request of O. Turgeon, M.P the writer was instructed bj' the Director of the Mine,' Branch to make a magnetometric survey of the district. The result of this survey showed that the field contains a number of mac- netic iron ore deposits, some of which are of large extent. In order to fully ascertain the quality of these ore bodies, the Provincial Go^ ernment of New Brunswick was petitioned for the use ot the diamond drill belonging to the Province The petition was granted, and during the vear 1907 seven di 1- holes^wero put down. The records of five of these holes are given in the followmg pages. In November of 1907. the Austin lirook property passed into the control of the Canada Iron <- orporation. Limited. A branch line, connecting the propertv "^ IV ^^o^'il^'"*'''*''?'^^ '■'^^^^"^y ^t Blacks Cut, about 4 miles south of Bathunst, has been built, the distance from the mine to Blacks Cut being about 17 miles. An ore dock for the transhipment of the ore has been com- pleted by the Company at Newcastle. It consists of a 13,000 ton ore pocket. The ore is delivered from the pocket through a series of chutes into a horizontal bucket conveyer, operated on a track. Thi« conveyer delivers the ore into an outer 150 ton pocket, situated on a dock. From this pocket the ore is loaded into the ves.sel by means of a self-' -nming chute The ore dock ha,s a^^,orage capacity of 18.00C ,s, and its loading capacity IS 3.000 ton. per hour. The ra....ay haul from thi mine to Newcastle is 57 miles. During the last two years the totlowing shipments have been made :— J2;? 5,336 sho.'-t tons 1911 31,120 " " GEOLOGY. The greater part of the area under consideration is under- lain by quartz i)ori)hyrj', generally of schistose structure ; owing to the intense folding and shearing to which it has been subjected. Its general strike is about north and south, with a steep dip towards the west. Associated with the porphyry are bands of chloritic and sericitic schists, which may be merely alteration phases of the porphyry. Generally, the porphyry shows distinct phenocrysts of feldspar and quartz, in a dense grey matrix. In the southern and western part of the area eruptive rocks of basic character are found intruding into the porphyry. These rocks may be classed as gabbro or diabase. They are usually of a greenish grey colour, with a granular to fine tex- ture. Other intrusions in the porphyry are numerous quartz veins. These are also very common in the ore. but are rarely seen in the gabbro. They varj in size from a fraction of an inch up to several inches in width. Sedimentary rocks, consisting of black and grey slates, highly tilted, and conformable to the porphyry, outcroj) on the banks of the Nipisiguit river at Great falls, about 1| miles belo'., the mouth of Austin brook ; but have, so far, not been observed within the area under consideration. Similar rocks are also exposed about one mile above Austin brook ; and farther up the Nipisiguit river, at the Narrows, fragments of black slates were seen embedded in the porphyry. The por- phyry seems, therefore, to be hitrusive in this slate formation, the geological age of which is early Paljeozoic, probably Ordo- vician.' CHARACTER OF ORE. The ore of the district consists of a very fine-grained siliceous magnetite, mixed with a considerable amount of hem- atite. It is often found interbanded with jasper an*.' a green slaty gangue material, which give the deposits a conspicuous bedded structure. Veins of quartz are also — as already men- tioned — of common occurrence, and generally follow the bed- ding planes of the ore. The metallic iron content of the various layers varies, therefore, considerably, ranging from 59 down to 35 per cent : the average being about 43 to 47 per cent. The average phosphorous content is about 0-8 per cent, with the sulphur ranging from 03 to 0- 1 per cent ; but locally ee Suminao' Report of tlie Uuologicul Survey for 1909. p. 218. i the sulphur content is much higher. This is especiallv the case near the contact of the ore with the country rock, where layers of iron pyrites, varying in thickness from a fraction of an inch up to several feet, often occur.

The ort; IxxiieH lie in three mi»in groups, which for reference have b":»n numhc' id I. II, and III. Group I 18 situated wnut of Austin brook, and consiHtH of one ore body, the total length of which m about 2,160 feet. The northern end of this deposit is well exposed, rising abrupt- ly to a height of 76 feet above Austin brook. Farther south it is covered by gravel of considerable depth, but outcropH again about 100 feet from the Nipisiguit river, where its contact with the schistose jwrphyry is well exposed. The horizontal width of the ore body is, who: .• drill hole No. 1 was sunk, lOfl feet. This hole was put down vertically on the hanging wull about 250 feet south of the northern end of the deposit . !♦ struck the ore body at a depth of 35 feet, v \d continued in tli. iron-bearing formation to 162 feet, when the foot-wall wah reached, giving a calculated thickness to the ore body of alxmt 86 feet. Drill hole No. 2 was sunk vertically, ibout 700 feet south of No. 1. After going through gravel, etc., it struck the ore body at a depth of 49 feet, and reached the foot-wall at 102 feet, giving a calculated thickness to the iron-hearing formation of about 60 feet. Drill hole No 3 was located on the hanging wall of the deposit, about 150 feet from Nipisiguit river, and drilled vertically to a depth of 49 feet, giving a calculated width to the iron-bearing formation of about 8 feet. Drill hole No. 4 was sunk 380 feet west of No. 2, at an angle of 70°, the bearinir of the hole being S. 80° E, The total depth attained by the hole was 527 feet. It struck the iron-bearing formation at a deptli of 434 feet, and continued in it to 514 feet, when the foot-wall was reached, givmg a calculated thickness to the iron-bearing formation of about 64 feet.

From what has been said in regard to the extent of the various ore deposits, it is evident that a large quantity of ore is available in this district, which can be mined under very favour- able conditions. The principal difficulty to be overcome, how- ever, is to get a concentration process adaptable to the ore, a large percentage of which — as the foregoing analyses indicate — is, in its natural state, of too low grade to be marketable. After some experimenting the operating concern has adopted a jigging process, and a mill has been erected to treat 70 tons of crude ore per hour. This has lately been described by Messrs. W. F. ('. Parsons and E. M. Archibald, cr aeers of the (>anada Iron Corporation in the Canadian Mining Journal, from which the following particulars are taken :- " Tin- present miiiiiifi; operations are confined to No. I deposit, which, rising about 75 feet above Austin brook, is being worked as an open quarry with a face of about 60 feet. The ore is loaded by a steam shovel into 2\ ton cars, and tram- med a short distance to the foot of an inclined trestle. On this trestle an up-and-down car haul is operated, consisting of two endless chains. The loaded cars conveyed to the top of the trestle deliver the ore through a re\ olving tipple into a hopper, from which it passes directly to a No. 8 K Gates crustier, where it is cruslied to pass a 3h inch ring, and then delivered on to a 24 incli belt conveyor disci ging into the boot of a steel bucket elevator, which elevates it .o the top of another building, where it is discliarged on a small grizzly in order to remove the fines. Tlienee \hv ore passes through a revolving screen 4 feet in diameter and 6 feet long with 2 inch round holes. The undcr- size froju this goes directly to a conveyor belt discharghig into a large storage bin. The oversize passes into a set of Taylors 132-23- ■-' in 12 I rolls 54 inch diameter and 24 inch face. The opening between the rolls is 1 inch. The product from the rolls is elevated by a steel Inicket elevator to a second screen 4 feet in diameter. 6 feet long, and with 2 inch holes, from which any oversize is re- turned dtrectly to the rolls. The undersizo going to an 18 inch conveyor belt, which dis'^harges into the storage bin. From the storage bin the ore is discharged through a revolving drum feeder into a 70 feet high bucket elevator, which in turn carries it to the top of the concentrating mill. The course of the ore in the concentrating mill is best shown by the accompanying flow sheet. The ore having been discharged from the bucket elevator is flushed into a series of revolving screens by a heavy stream of water and classified into five sizes — oversize of 1^, f. ^, |, and undersise of J inch. The oversize from the l\ and f inch screens goes to three 900-B jigs. The concentrates produced by the three jigs are dischargedon toacouvoyor belt andconveyed to the loading bin. The tailings are run through a set of Taylors rolls (26), 42 inch diameter, 16 inch face, having an opening between the roils of f inch, thence elevated by a bucket elevator to the third revolving screen (14), where it joins with the ori- ginal feed, which passed througli the two first trommels. The oversize from the ^ inch trommel passes to 900-B jig (22, 23). Tlic concentrate is discharged to the conveying belt for removal to the loading bin, and the tailings re-treated on one compartment (24)of No. 5 900-Bjig. The oversize of the i inch .'screen goes to the second com- partment (25) of No. 5 900-B jig, me tailings from which are re-treated on a 3 compartment jig (28). The undersize from the J- screen is treated on 29 and 30, both 4 compartment Hartz jigs. The hutch product and concentrates of the last compart- ments of these jigs are considered as middlings and are flushed back to the bucket elevator, and, returning through the | inch trommel, are treated for a second time. The average iron content of the ore from the mine is given by the officials to be about 45 per cent. In order to overcome to some extent the high loss of iron in the tailings some slight rearrangement of the flow -sheet has lately been made by which (28) the three compartment Hartz jig becomes a primary jig and (24-25) become a .second- ary jig, the concentrates from which are run to a separate stockpile, with an average iron content of about 46 per cent. The water consumption of the mill is about 2000 gaUons per minute. The water is used over and over again and only about 500 gallons of fresh water per minute are added to maintain a certain degree of purity. The fresh water is pumped to the IS r ?• > <^ ■ft « •> , fri w, ,,r..l).. !)„„„ M,nh™»; MINES BRANCH K'-iENE Ha^nei., Pill).. r)iH9 ^■'■- M''-onn.ll .ml R ' ' B^^, M.A., ■ '^'i5'u!.'t!';i,V;;;;::SsdXr;!;'ia iH;::^,^v;'^' ; ":■ '''*"" "."t-^*" '^'■■<"">ii'cr„„„„« pour ■ %• i""■""■■ l.>Pl'.i..-i...:. ^uh! !■..,-, ,y KriU(:irk.l. 1906^ (Out of print: ^:« Un»phi,e: Us Properties, (>..,.urr.n.P, H.rmin^. an.I II«.^b,y K,it. < "irk.,!, 1907.
