les’ school and the team’s coach, said:
“This is Gilles’ first year as the team’s goaltender and he worked hard to achieve his purpose. His first endeavor was simply to skate well. When the ice was free of other skaters or players Gilles was still hard at it.
“It was remarkable the way he tried and got along.
AN EASY CHOICE
“He became so good I didn’t hesitate about choosing him as the regular goalie for the team.”
Gilles’ biggest thrill was when he played with his club in a tour- nament specially organized for
Quebec City’s winter carnivalfi
He was the only player to be - troduced publicly to the crowd of 2,000. . .
There was some doubt among the spectators when the an- nouncer said Gilles had an arti- ficial leg. Then they saw for themselves and were amazed at his spectacular stops, applauding him repeatedly.
There was just one hitch in the game. A strap broke on Gilles’ artificial leg and play was held up 10 minutes while it was fixed.

Large Mineral Discoveries]
Expected In The Yukon
By FORBES nnunn
Canadian Press Business Editor TORONTO (CP)—Further ex- ploration in the Yukon probably
,will result in discoveries which
will revolutionize the .territory’s mining industry, Aaro E. Aho, consulting geological engineer of Vancouver, said Wednesday in an address to the Prospectors and Developers Association.
In a 16-page paper which ex-
.amined the Yukon’s geology in
considerable detail, Mr. Aho said:
“The Yukon probably now has five potential $250,000,000 camps ——the Klondyke, now largely mined; the Mayo area, partly mined; and 'Vangorda Creek,
r‘ Macmillan Pass and Dawson as-
bestos area, all unmined.'
“Further exploration will prob- ably result in discovery or de- velopment of more such deposits or perhaps a $1,0o0.D0o,ooo camp or two.
“Even with little or no map- ping of some of -the geological units of the Yukon, major struc-- tural features generally consid- ered. favorable for ore deposits and) similar to those in established H1330!‘ mining camps can be noted.”
SIMILAR T0 B.C.
“In a_ general way the geologic environinent of the Yukon is sim- ilar to that of the southern third of British Columbia, which has

produced the largest part of Brit- ish Columbia’s $3,893,000,000 worth of mineral wealth, with promise of much more--chiefly from base metal deposits de- veloped subsequent to the prec- ious metals. '
The Yukon, a comparable and even more complex region, has by comparison produced chiefly precious metals and only recently has produced large amounts of silver-rich lead-zinc ore.
“The Yukon past production of over $350,000,000, plus its known reserves of over $600,000,000, total aboutya third of the production of southern British Columbia (with southern B.C.’s reserves not included).
‘_‘It therefore seems reasonable by comparison to expect that the Yukon may some day match or even outstrip southern British Columbia in production, espec- ially since the patterns of geol- ogy and sequence of discoveries seem to be developing similarly.” OFFICERS ELECTED
Meeting with the prospectors this year in a triple-headed con- vention was the Geological Asso- ciation of Canada and the Min- eralogical Association of Canada.
Dr. T. H. Olark of Montreal was elected president of the Geolog- ical Association for the coming

gsociation, while ‘Mrs. Viola Mac-
Millan of Toronto continues to head the prospectors for the 15th year. ’
In another of Wednesday’s ad- dresses J. F. Davies, chief geol- ogist of Manitoba’s minespbranch, ‘described the chromite deposits of southeastern-Manitoba as prob- ably the largest reserves of the mineral in North America.
In order to be useful in the manufacture of fer-rochrome the chrome would have to be bene- ficiated to raise the chrome-iron ratio. The main problem to be overcome was economic—as cost of beneficication mustebe low enough to permit competition with natural chromite ores from foreign sources. .

Gaspe Copper Mines Reports- Losspln 1957
TORONTO, (CP) — Tempera- Copper Mines Ltd. had net loss after writeoffs in 1957 of $2,327,- 000 or 88 cents a share, com- pared with net profit in 1956 of $8,218,000 or $3.10 a share. ’
The annual report says earn- ings were adversely affected by last year’s extended strike and by the decline in the price of copper. _
Local action for damages and loss of profits had been taken against the United Steelworkers of America (CDC).
Total tonnage of ore treated was 941,000 tons, some 28 per cent below that of 1956, while copper production of 35,386,000 pounds was 36 per cent below
