Toward the end of my first summer in the bush in 1958, we had a crew change. I was party chief of a three-man McPhar Geophysics crew locating and detailing airborne electromagnetic anomalies, and a recent graduate of MIT in geology and geophysics. We were covering the Evans Lake greenstone belt in northwestern Quebec, 60 miles north of the Mattagami greenstone belt, where there had been a recent discovery. We were camped on an unnamed river that we called Dana River, since it flowed north into Dana Lake, a complex western lobe of Evans Lake. (The river is now officially named Pauschikushish Ewiwach.)
