Instead of having to depend on the uncertain reports of scouts, the engineer of a pulp and paper com- pany now chooses a new area of operation from aerial maps, rer plete with all the detail which Great strejches of territory are graphic. ally depicted and from the maps a definite estimate can be made of the value of the timber, 'Water power development .also owes a debt to aerial photography. Pictures are taken at oblique angles and pasted together, When two groups are viewed simultane- ously through a stereopticon the relief eftecs gives an accurate idea of the topography of the country and the direction of water sheds, The hint of a new mineral field starts an aerial race among pros- pectors, Jutting rock is viewed from above as the plane flies low, The prospector"s hammer tells the tale and the plane rushes back to file claims, To the more romantic names of gold and sliver are added those of copper, lead, zinc, oll, salt and bit- uminous sapd, Each new discoy- ery is a stepping stone in the per- sistent movement northward, The silence of the arctic will be broken by the grinding of the ore crusher, There are at present more than 10,000 mines, metallurgical plants and allied upits in operation in the dominion, They employ 80,000 workers and represent a capital in- vestment of more than $700,000, 000, In 1927 their products were valued at $248,000,000 and this year is expected to show an up- precedented increase, Prospecting operations are being carraed on in pearly every province, Outstanding developments are those in the Sudbury district in Ontario where several millions of dollars are being expended this year, in British Columbia and in the northern boundaries of Mapi- toba and Saskatchewan, The Hud- #op Bay railway into Churchill is nearing completion and will hasten the opening up of that country, The new line from The Pas, Manitoba, to the Flin Flop mining sres has been finished thrée months before the expiration of the contract time, Since 1926 Canada has been the! world's greatest newsprint pro- ducer.
