t If-' .- l.li..V ,,i V PAGE TWO Amateur Salvage Workers Pooling Capital in Gamble Vancouver, B. C, April 1 IP A $100,000 "treasure" was assur ed a group of amateur salvage workers today. who pooled their . small savings lor the luu-to-l gamble. . . The pay-off was the super-tug F. M. Yorke, a steel-hulled dlesel Dowered vessel which sank off Vancouver's Howe sound In 950 feet of water. 1 John , Pieters, a 32-year-old electrician with no diving expe rience, bought the $100,000 vessel for $1,000 after established sal vage firms reported it could not De raised, Divine Bell Creaks .A home-constructed diving bell "that creaks a little" was Meters' ace-ln-the-hole. Descending to an aparent record depth of 940 feet, Pieters located the 104-ton tug and directed operations from his -nine-foot bell. After several dives, cables and grappling hooks snag ged the vessel. A crew was awaiting a calm day to drag the 100-foot ship to shallow water where the second phase of the operation will be completed. Once in shallow water they will be able to either pump ' It to the surface or raise it on winch:- cables between barges. Pieters estimated the tug will be in possession of the new owners in two weeks. ' Company Formed ' Buying the tug took most of Pieters funds, but he formed a company with George Martens, a real estate dealer as president. Fred Free, a cafe owner; Alan Ahone, a logger, and James Bax : ter, an electrician, became share holders by Investing their share in the enterprise. That brought the cpmpany's capital to $6,000. Equipped with a war-surplus telephone, Pieters directs the sur face crew while playing 32-candle-power lights on the wreck through three -inch thick plexi glass windows in the bell. "The windows gave- me the most trouble when we were con structing the bell," he said. "But I guess she's good for a few more trips yet." Pieters said the windows creak ed so badly during the deep de scent the crackling could be heard above over the telephone. "Then there's fish," he added. "They sound like sledgehammers when they .hit the sides at 300 feet. However, there are no fish at the 900-foot level. ' "I don't like it down there," the amateur diver admits. "But we're going to get ourselves thousands of dollars apiece out of this water."

Marie, Ont. IP Along the bleak north "shore of Lake Superior and through the rocky Agawa canyon west of here, small groups of silent men are waging a battle for position. Clad In fur-lined parkas and snowshoes, they are fighting against time. For the magic word "uranium" has roused the interest of pros pectors who have come here from all parts of Canada and the Unit ed States. The romance of min ing in Canada is being revived. It Is reminiscent of the great gold rush days of the late 1800's. The struggle now In progress is to stake claims and have them recorded while a thick blanket of snow makes it easier to cover the rugged country on foot. When spring comes, thick underbrush and sharp jutting rocks will make walking through the brush more difficult. Gains in the wintry struggle are indicated by freshly-hewn claim posts and white - lined squares on the map in the mining recorder's office here. New Finds Reported The arrival of spring in the Algoma district will mean the start of concentrated efforts by explorers to "prove" the uranium, deposits they have claimed. The mass staking scramble, which started last fall with the discovery of uranium at Theano point In the Lake superior re gion, recently gained fresh Im petus with reports that rich radio-active ores have been found north of Bruce mines, 40 miles east of here. More than 100 claims have been recorded in the new area.- Now, more than 100 square miles of staked land has been re corded. This land Is potentially rich In the most vital of all min eral resources. At present, because of winter conditions, the battle here is one of position. No attempt is being made to discover exactly what lies under the snow. Enough pre liminary prospecting was carried out In the autumn to indicate where the main "breaks" were lo cated. Stakers are Interested now merely in locating somewhere near these zones. When spring comes, prospectors, geologists says: Here 's an offer than cost you a giving you g cent will actually save you more reater driving comfort and pleasure THE BEND BULLETIN, By Hershberger BTA.BLM3 he gets tired he gets you way by airlift!" and mining men will flock in to explore their holdings. The uranium discoveries are less than 100 miles north of this border city. Because of the short distance, age-old methods of prospecting have gone by the board, Anybody's Gamo Prospectors of the old school eked out an existence by trap ping or logging in the winter. During the summer, they spent their savings in search of ore de posits. Today,- it's anybody's game. The sky is the limit. Even a man with -small starting capital can get Into the deal. The proximity of the deposits to civilization has eased the trans portation and outfitting prob lem, which was a prime consid eration of prospectors in the northwest territories. Then, many an experienced man starved or died of exposure.
