January 1921 The Canadian Mining Journal
In connections with the proposal to consolidate the Northerown Mines and the Porcupine VNT the entire outline of the proposal was discussed at a recent and Major P McIntosh Bell of the Porcupine VNT has gone to London to present the matter to the English interests who are in control of that company It is generally believed the merger will be carried through and the big enterprise may actually be under way by next Spring
Financial arrangements being made in connection with the Porcupine VNT lead to the belief that the company will join the active operations within a very short time The plan of work includes sinking the main shaft from its present depth of 600 feet to 900 or 1000 feet Good ore occurs down to the present depth with indications that ore bodies increase in width and richness as greater depth is attained The mill is designed to treat 100 tons of ore daily and can be increased to 150 tons daily by spending 50,000 on construction and re modelling
Negotiations of importance are pending in connection with the Porcupine VNT and the outlook for this property has brightened perceptibly Its location immediately adjacent to the Hollinger and the occurrence of numerous veins under somewhat similar conditions as on its big neighbor is attracting genuine interest
