Accordingly, there should be general attention here to the following report from a recent issue of The Mining World, London, Canada, of an address recently given to the Royâ€" al Empire Society at London. The Mining World report is as follows:â€" A lecture on Canada‘s metalliferous wealth was delivered on Wednesday, November 21st, 1928, by Mr. John Steâ€" wart, of West Regent Street, Glasgow, before the Royal Empire Society, Norâ€" thumberland Avenue, London, formerâ€" ly known as the Royal Colonial Instiâ€" tute, illustrated with lantern views. English Lecturer Gives His Impression of the Different Canadian Mining Fields. Glasgow Engineer Sees Brilâ€" liant Mining Future for Canada. Address to Royal Empire Society Last Month. Mr. Stewart observed that in the Dominion population and development had followed in the wake of railway constructian. This applied not only to agricultural land, for on turning to the mineral kingdom it was seen that in Canada the more permanent stores of wealth and progress had followed railâ€" way expansion. Dealing with metals, Mr. Stewart stated that gold had always played an important part in the past in stimulatâ€" ing prospectors in virgin regions of the earth. The successful search had led to the establishment of civilization in Ssouth America, United States, Austraâ€" lia, South Africa and Canada, which had now entered well on the path in the search of gold, and her development bids fair to take second place in the gold production of the world in the course of a few years. Statistics were given showing the great movement and disâ€" tribution of purchasing power coming from the mining industry, and, it was stated, dividends doubtless set in moâ€" tion another series of sales and purches. Canada Bids Fair to Take High Place in Gold Mining Mr. Stewart went on to say that the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway through the Sudbury district was a particularly fortunate fortunate step for Canadian mining. because of the discovery of nickelâ€"copper ores. The great mines and smelters of the Mond and International Nickel companies were shown. Data was given from which the lecturer deduced that it could safely be inferred that metallurgists could readily extend the use of the nicâ€" kel without fear of shortage, and said that it was the use of this metal that had made the motor car and aeroplane such reliable machines. Another railâ€" way construction (that of the Temisâ€" kaming and Northern Ontario Ry.) led to similar results in that it gave raise to the discovery of the rich silver field of which the town of Cobalt was the centre. The district had, up to the end of 19235, yielded nearly 341,000,000 oz. of siiver, and with the newer areas of South Lorrain and Gowganda the output was still running about $10,000,000 ounces annually. The Coniagas mines had yielded alone 32,000,000 ounces and paid out $11,500,000 in dividends, and Nipisâ€" sing 69,500,000 ounces and $26,000,000 in dividends. Next in sequence of time was the disâ€" covery of gold at Porcupine in 1908, since, when the Hollinger Mine had beâ€" come the third greatest gold mine in the world. Other discoveries were the McIntyre, which he was pleased to observe from a recent issue of The Mining World had placed a large orâ€" der for electric winding plant with the General Electric Co. The McIntyre shaft was being sunk to a depth of over 4,100 feet. The mechanical portion of the winder was manufactured at the Fraser Chalmers engingering works of the General Electric Co. at Erith, Kent, and the electric apparatus and switch were made at the Whittom Enâ€" gineering Works of the company at Birâ€" mingham. Thus Canadian mining was benefiting the engineering industry of Great Britain. Dome, another of the Porcupine mines, had also been a large producer, but this mine had now passed its zenith, and was only expected to have a life of two years, but in practies it was known that the lives of the mines were generally longer than supposed. The famous Kirkland Lake are a next received attention, and a brief descripâ€" tion of the several important gold mines were given. These included Teckâ€" Hughes, which was now the largest producer in the camp, Kirkland Lake, which, by the persistent efforts of the management had made a mine and was giving good results, Lake Shore and Wrightâ€"Hargreaves. Recently he hac heard from a friend that a cable had been received that a strike of good ore had been made on the Continental Kirkland. This was important, not only for that property, but also for those operating further east, such as Lebel Lode and Seneca Leber. In the estern section other promising properâ€" ties were Bidgood and Moffatâ€"Hall. It was said that although the present proâ€" ducing zone was two and a half miles in length, there was every reason to beâ€" lieve that the length of the zone would be doubled on the strike of the lode, and that great activity in the centre of Lebel township, where rich gold had been located at certain points both on surface and at depth, gave every enâ€" couragement to the present great efâ€" forts that were being made to bring into several new mines. Attention was drawn to the fact that Teckâ€"Hughes had proved to be one of the richest gold deposits of recent times, and that Lake Shore, although now paying 80 p.c. per annum, was still a young mine and would in all probability be continuâ€" ed to double and treble the present depths, and increased output would gradually be built up. A general description followed of the Rouyn gold field, where the Noranda Mine is operating its new smelter for the treatment of ore rich in copper and gold. Great activity was taking place and there were considerable possibiliâ€" ties for the development of other mines. This had led to the introduction of the railway, and a less primitive environâ€" ment which would expand into an imâ€" portant metallurgical centre. Going westward, the Manitoba field was described. where at the northeast corner of Lake Winnipeg and reaching back to the border of Ontario a numâ€" ber of gold mines are being developed, including the Central Manitoba Mine, which was under management of Messrs John Taylor Sons, London. Manitoba, however, owed its prominâ€" ence to the discovery of the baser metals near its western border, where the Flin Flon and the Mandy, the Sherâ€" ritt Gordon and several other copper deposits of first magnitude were being developed. Here again it has proved fortunate that what appeared to be an almost furtile railway to The Pas had actually made it possible to consider a spur line into the Flin Flon copper area, the branch being about 85 miles in length, and now almost completed, perâ€" mitting the establishment of another great smelter for the treatment of copâ€" per ores. Doubtless a secondary spur railway of some 35 miles would be put in to the Sherritt Gordon area, so that all told Manitoba was on the eve of beâ€" coming a great metallurgical centre, rivalling that of Quebec. In British Columbia also, important mineral deâ€" velopment were taking place. Emphasis was laid upon the fact that Canada was a great country, seeking to develop its mineral resources in a grceat way and to advance the wellâ€"being of its citizens and to play an adequate part in the development of the Empire in that quarter of the globe along the same lines as had made the United States a great nation by adding to the store of wealth from its mineral reâ€" sources. It was pointed out that within recent years Canadians had come to recognize that mining was an extremeâ€" ly inmmportant factor in the development of their economic status. Taking the wealth won from Sudbury, Cobalt, Porâ€" supine, Kirkland Lake and British columbia, running into hundreds of millions sterling, and with new metalliâ€" ferous areas of almost equal promise being brought into being in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and New Brunswich, the question arose as to whether the peoâ€" ple in the homeland recognized as fully as they might what opportunities there were to participate in the future exâ€" pansions. Comparative figures were given indiâ€" cating that Great Britain was playing, so far, a very inferior part toward finâ€" ancing the growth of the Empire in Canada, and the lecturer suggested that if that matter was neglected for lack of wise direction to the.continued advantâ€" age of the United States, the question might well arise at a later period as to whom a more prosperous and popuâ€" lated Canada belonged, and whether the British Empire was drawing a fair share of the natural wealth to which only capital support could entitle it. The lecturer closed on an appropriate note by quoting what he called the wise words of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales: "Canada, as I see her today, Canada, as all of us must see, is on the tThreshold of one of the most outstanding eras of its extension and development that the world has ever known. Canada, with all her natural resources, both human and material, still has room for more of the three commodities essential to naâ€" tional progress and prosperity, and those are, I think, good brains, good money and good work. She needs, I think, more of all those things, and if I have learned anything in my eight years‘ experience of Canada, it is that she wants them to be British."
