Inco, Nickel, andNumismatics

By R. F. BoudignonPay Office, Copper Cliff

Numismatics is the science ofcoins, tokens, medals, paper moneyand objects closely related to thesein form or purpose. I find it amost enjoyable hobby.

To assist the numismatist in thestudy of coins, their origins andtechnique, their history, mythologyand art, the international NickelCompany of Canada, Limited andits predecessors have published anumber of most interesting andvaluable books and pamphlets.Several weeks ago, through thelibrary of the American Numis-matic Association I had theopportunity of reading a numberof these, now out of print and mostcertainly collector's items in them-selves.

In 1930 there appeared a veryelaborate volume of some 125pages, entitled "Nickel Coins." Itis a gem of the art of printing andpublishing. Privately printed forthe International Nickel Company,it gives illustrations and details of

all the then current coins mintedof 99% pure nickel. Several dozencountries are mentioned includingof course Canada with its purenickel 5 cent piece.

In 1925 the Research and De-velopment Department of TheMond Nickel Company Limitedpublished a volume entitled"Nickel Coinage" by F. R. Barton,C .M.G. This most interestingbook deals with the history ofnickel coinage from early timesKing Euthydemus II, of Bactria

235 B.C. with coins containing 77",copper and 20" nickels to the sub-stitution in Canada in 1921 of purenickel for silver in the 5 centpiece. As a frontispiece to thisvolume there are illustrations ofboth sides of The Mond NickelCompany's 25th AnniversaryMedal 1900-1925)_ The figure de-

Frood Operations Make An Impressive View from the Air

In this fine aerial picture by the noted Canadian industrial photographer, George

Hunter, are seen the Frood surface plant and open pit, part of the Frood-Stobie mineoperations. The first of the two long buildings at right centre is the hoistroom, andin the second are the mine offices and changehouse. Strung out behind them, on

either side of the collarhouse, are the warehouse and various shops, the timber yardand the sand fill plant. To the left, beyond the no. .3 shaft headframe and rockhouse,

are the open pit buildings, blasting shelter, crushing plants, and offices. Six of the

big haulage trucks can be seen on the pit roads: can you spot them?

pitted on the obverse of the medalsymbolizes the element, while themaple leaves and daffodils on thereverse are emblematic of Canadaand Wales,

This medal is truly a collector'spiece and the reader will under-stand my delight at recentlyobtaining one through the kind-ness of Karl McIntosh of the Incogeological department.

The historical gem of the ANAlibrary is the booklet publishedeven before the discovery ofnickel in the Sudbury District,entitled "Memorandum concern-ing Small Money and Illustrationsand Descriptions of Existing NickelAlloy Coins," written and pub-lished in 1876 by Joseph Wharton,proprietor of The American NickelWorks, at Camden, New Jersey. Itdeals in particular with theadvantages of nickel and nickelalloy in coinage. It must be re-membered that at that time coin-age was the largest market for the500 tons which was then the entireworld output of nickel.

Mr. Wharton in his booklet wastrying to point out to all govern-ments the numerous advantagesof nickel for coinage over gold,silver and other metals, on account

of its lower cost and greaterwearing qualities. We were aboutto enter the era where coinagedid not have the full monetaryvalue of its denomination, and heforesaw it. Through his mine andfactory he assured everyone thatthere was an ample supply ofnickel on hand to meet all coinagerequirements, especially since newdeposits had just been found inNew Caledonia.

Of more recent date there is inbooklet form a reprint from TheNumismatist of March 1956 en-titled "A Century of NickelCoinage" by E. F. Feely, dealingwith the monetary uses of nickel.Then again in a recent issue ofInco Copper News there appeareda fine article on the Royal Cana-dian Mint, its divisions andoperations. This article was basedon a colour film produced byCrawley Films Limited for TheInternational Nickel Companycalled 'Money Minters."

obedience training. Tan has noletters after his name yet - he'snot such a sensation during class

{ but he makes up for it at recess.Robin and Bonnie Swain have

made quite a study of dog training

Robin and Bonnie Swain pose with their two pupils Tan and Greyduring a training session in the park at Copper Cliff.

`A Wonderful Hobby' Robin & BonnieSwain Say of Training Pair of Dogs

Things have certainly gone tothe dogs at 23 Nickel Street, Cop-per Cliff, which is okay with Robinand Bonnie Swain because theylike it that way.

And so do the dogs.On and off during the past 15

years there's always been a dog inthe Swain family circle, but nowthere are two, and both Robin andhis wife are getting so much funout of training their team of youngstar boarders that they wish they'dthought of getting a playmate forthe family dog long ago.

Older of the pair is Grey, a two-year-old Shetland collie, or sheltieas they're called. His full name isGrey Douglas, after the tartan ofthe Copper Cliff Highlanders cadetcorps, of which Robin Swain iscommanding officer. Grey is high-strung, very sensitive, intelligent, adog-trainer's delight.

His partner Tan, on the otherhand, is an easy-going extrovertand show-off. A one-year-oldbeagle with a good sense of humor,Tan is a lovable little guy whorefuses to take life too seriously.He likes doing what comes natur-ally.

"They're so entirely different,

and yet get along so well together,that they're wonderful company aswell as a very interesting hobby,"Mrs. Swain said.

Grey is the "brain" of the team.He has his CD, which stands forCompanion Dog, the first degree in

and find it adds a lot to theirenjoyment of their pets.

"It's just like any other hobby,"Robin said. "The more you putinto it, the more pleasure you getout of it."

One thing they learned early inthe game was not to overtrain. "Adog's mind tires easily, and at firstabout five to ten minutes a day isall the training he can absorb,"Bonnie said. "Gradually you canincrease the training periods totwenty minutes or half an hour,"

"You have to be patient but firmwith him, so he knows it's seriousbusiness. You should never laughat his efforts or make fun of himwhen you're trying to teach him."

"Another important thing for thenew trainer to remember," Robinput in, "is not to expect miracles.A dog will learn certain exercises intwo or three weeks, but it may takemonths to steady him so he willdo them every time."

What about treats for the pupil?"The book is very definite about

that," Bonnie said. "You shouldn'tmake a practice of rewarding a dogwith food. A tidbit is all right nowand then, but the dog should learnto work because he is asked to, andthey stress that his reward shouldbe a word of praise and a lovingpat. A dog has a wonderful

mumnumber of dogs have been savedthrough this act of obedience, be-cause the owner gave the com-mand to drop when the dog startedto dart across the street In thepath of an oncoming automobile.Teaching Grey to obey this com-mand has been od>e of the mostsatisfying achievements of histraining to date, Bonnie says.

Grey obeys word commands butTan does better on hand signals.Here he sits up and pays attentionto his master.

memory and he won't forget yourattitude toward him."

Grey is now working on his CDX(Companion Dog Excellent). Thebasis of this advanced training isretrieving, which according toRobin is the most difficult skill toteach a dog. All dogs at some timeor other carry objects about intheir mouths and retrieve themwhen thrown in play, but in ad-vanced obedience training they aretaught to do this on command fromthe trainer.

After the CDX the next step isthe UD (Utility Dog) training,which involves seeking a lostarticle, scent discrimination, andtracking. "They say this is themost interesting and satisfying ofall, for both the dog and thetrainer," Robin said. "We're hopingit won't be too long before Greygets into this work. Tan may notearn any degrees, but he'll have alot of fun trying, and he'll getresults in his own way."

Robin is a member of the indus-trial relations department at Cop-per Cliff. For many years Bonniewas on the staff of radio stationCKSO, and their daughter Dorothywas also in radio work at SaultSte. Marie until her marriage thereto George Jonescu. Their sonBrian has carried on in his father'sfootsteps as a military man; he isan instructor at the Royal Ordin-ance Corps School at Montreal.

PLATINUM CATALYSTThree-quarters of a ton of the

precious metal platinum - valuedat over $1,000,000 - is used in theform of a catalyst by a largepetroleum refiner to produce high-octane gasoline.

His ancestral background as a Scottish sheep dog comes in handy when Grey is told to bring Tan homefor supper . Away he goes to round up his young friend , and soon returns leading him gently but firmlyby the leash. If Tan isn't wearing his leash ( right ) an ear serves the purpose just as well. Tan submitsgood naturedly to this family discipline - so far.

"I always keep a rope tied aroundmy waist. It has saved my lifemore than once."

"But," said the listener, "it mustbe awful to be left hanging froma rope. Don't you ever feelnervous?"

"Well, not exactly nervous," camethe reply, "Just high strung."

Future plans call for a specialday each week when some parti-cular theme will be featured. "Wehave a safari day coming up thatshould be fun," the director said.Making native costumes, tribal

dances, cooking and engaging inmock warfare will all be a part ofthe day's program, he said.

Rainy days are spent indoors atLake street hall if available, other-wise activities are called off forthe day. "They are a good bunchof kids" Desormeaux said, "andthey behave well. They have alot of fun too."

Sam Zivkovich came to Canada in1927. With Inco service datingfrom 1933 he is retired now ondisability pension.

Starting withthe Companyat Port Col-borne back in1929 , Sam waslaid off in thedepression 1931and taken onagain 2 yearslater at CopperCliff. He work-ed on thecupola furnacesfor many years

and spent his last 14 years as atapper on the blast furnaces. Samliked his work and, but for an oldfoot injury that gave him trouble,would have stayed on to full re-tirement.

During his first couple of yearsin Canada, Sam worked in thebush around Cochrane; during thedepression he spent some timehelping build the trans-Canadahighway. He was raised on afarm in the old Country and alsospent several years in the armythere.

In 1918 he married a girl fromhis own village who had the samename but was no relative; MilaZivkovich became his wife andthey were blessed with twodaughters, Milka and Dragica,both now married. Their sonNikola was killed in the war. Theyhave two grandchildren. All haveremained in Yugoslavia.

Sam was back for a visit in 1956and will probably go again whenhis leg is in better shape. Mean-while he's taking life easy and en-joying it.

Two more of the rare photo-graphs turned over to the Companyby the son of the Canadian CopperCompany metallurgical engineer,David H. Browne, are these viewsof Copper Cliff in 1892, taken fromthe hill on Granite Street behindthe present municipal building.They were identified for theTriangle by a colleague of the lateMr. Browne, Inco pensioner JohnW. Garrow, who joined the Com-pany in 1905.

The building on the left, on thepresent hospital site, was the

I general office of the Canadian Cop-per Company. The house fartheron, at the base of the ClarabelleRoad hill, was the home of Dr. andMrs. Coleman, the latter locallyfamous as Kit, correspondent ofthe Toronto Mail & Empire. Onthe left side of Clarabelle Road,as it climbs the hill in the distance,can be seen the log cabins whichwere the homes of such pioneersas the Stoddarts, the Boyds, theO'Donnells and the McKerrows.Those well-built cabins still stand.

Facing the camera, at the cornerof Granite and Serpentine Streets,where the Bank of Toronto nowstands, was the Yellow Club, atoney bachelors' residence. Nextwas Hamilton's store, later to be-come Oliver's Hardware Store.Opposite the Yellow Club, on thesite of the present MacIntoshBlock, was Dick Anderson's TailorShop. In the right corner can beseen part of the roof of Hamilton'sLivery Barn, where a horse and rigcould be rented for $1.25 for thetrip to Sudbury.

"The well, fore-hearth, or settlerwas constructed of double plates ofcast-iron having a water spacebetween of 6 inches, and restedupon four wheels for conveniencein moving whenever repairs werenecessary, a spare settler alwaysstanding ready to be put In place.

"The blast was furnished by aBaker rotary blower and enteredthe furnace through 11 tuyeres,under a pressure of 8 to 10 ouncesper square inch. The furnace hada capacity of 120 to 150 tons ofmatte a day, from ore which wasfirst heap-roasted to reduce thesulphur."

Matte, which settled to the bot-tom on running from the furnaceinto the fore-hearth or settler,and slag, which floated on top, weretapped into small pots. The mattewas poured on the open ground inthe smelter yard to cool, thenbroken up and loaded into boxcarsfor shipment to the Orford CopperCompany plant at Bayonne, NewJersey, for refining by the newlydiscovered Orford Process, and tovarious smaller customers.

Coke for the blast furnaces wasshipped by boat from Cleveland toAlgoma Mills, and thence over theCanadian Pacific Railway to Sud-bury.

Jack Switch, who started as ateamster with the Canadian CopperCompany in 1900, recalls the greatstorage piles of coke in the smelteryard, and also the huge heaps ofgranulated slag.

Some difficulty was experiencedin attracting good workmen to thenew camp due to its isolated loca-tion, although the wage rateswere high for those days: minecaptain, $145.00 per month; assis-tant captain, $90.00 per month;master mechanic, $100.00 permonth; teamster, $45.00 permonth; drill runner, $2.10 per day;miners, $1.75 per day; laborers,$1.60 per day; foremen, $2.00 perday; engineer, $2.00 per day;machinist, $2.25 per day; black-smith, $1.75 per day.In April, 1889, the personnel of

Rare Historical(Continued from Page 9)

Of those momentous operationsAlexander Gray wrote in 1911 inThe Mining World, Chicago: "De-tails of those pioneering days, des-criptions of the frequent explosionsat the furnace and of the greenworkmen bolting at every unusualsound, recitals of the struggles ofthe manager night and day to keepthe process going, would consumemore space than is available- Inretrospect they are all part of theromance of metallurgy as it beganat Copper Cliff. At the time dis-

couragements were distressing ifnot altogether promotive of de-sponfence."

E. A. Collins also described inone of his chronicles the many"days of labour and nights devoidof ease" experienced by the earlysmeltermen as they "worked un-ceasingly to make repairs in tap-holes or jackets, facing, at everytap from the settler, a barrage ofexplosions which one observercompared to a Gatling gun inaction".

There were other problems onthe human side of the sheet. H.

The reaction at Copper Cliffto this official kidding was perhapstoo sulphurous to record.

Mr. McIntosh had a saving graceof humor which probably, on fre-quent occasions when the hard-pressed young industry was "onlyabout one jump ahead of the bai-liff," kept him from tossing in thesponge.

Levack Teen-Agers' Bowling League Winds Up In Style

The league 's champions pose with Mrs. Stanich and Mrs. Davidson.

Here are the Levack Valiants, a teen-age sensation in their first season.

A sample of what the Valiants do to the customers.

"The nicest group of youngpeople you could find anywhere."That's Mrs. Barbara Stanich'sopinion of Levack's teen-agers, andas stewardess of the EmployeesClub, the community's recreationand entertainment hub, she's in agood position to know.

One of the teen-age activitiesMrs. Stanich has promoted at Le-vack was a 14-team bowling leaguewhich wound up the season in realstyle with a dance and presenta-tion of prizes. About 100 attendedthe grand finale.

Gerry Dusick was chairman ofthe presentations, which were madeby a group of citizens led by minesuperintendent F. M. McAteer. Inthe layout at the top of the accom-panying pictures are seen the lea-gue champions. Cuff links andlockets, along with the trophy, wentto the members of the winningteam, shown on the left: MarleneLefebvre, Yvonne Allen. GladysDidur, Doug Dupuis and EddieKelland. At top right Mrs. Stanich

The final picture shows the effectthe Valiants have on their youngadmirers. Nearest the camera inthis picture taken at the teen-agebowling league's cabaret party areGerry Dusick, Heather Puro,Gladys Didur and Bob Glencross.

"We're hoping it will be evenbigger and better than ever," saidMrs. Stanich of next season's teen-age program at the EmployeesClub, and if the enthusiasm shownlast winter is any indicator, she'sgoing to get her wish.
