Last week the William Lawrence Saunders gold medal for distinguished service in mining* was awarded to James MacNaughton, president and general manager of Calumet & Hecla Consolidated Copper Co. of Michigan.

In open-pit mining, which means simply shoveling away a hill of exposed ore (as at Bingham, Utah), lodes down to 8/10 of 1% can be handled profitably. Deep-vein mining entails the cost of tunneling, drilling, blasting, hoisting, ventilating. Mining engineers consider...
Same year Surveyor Hulbert sank his first shaft, last week's Saunders Medalist was born to a miner in Ontario.
