Think of the enâ€" ormous market such a city would proâ€" vide for the manufacturers of clothing, furniture and other commodities, as well as for the farmers and producers who supply them with food. The:a for breaking his ores the miner must have machinery and expilosives, as well as ‘fuels and chemicals for treating and refining them and the ptoviding of ‘the e and the fabrication of the metals ’mto finished â€"articles in their turn afâ€" ford employment for many thousands. iIt is of course, impossible to obtain exact figures of the number of ‘men so employed, but a comparison value of the products of manufacturâ€" (ing industries classified according to lorlgm will give some idea of the deâ€" pendence of manufacturing upon the mineral industry. In 1928 these figures roughly were as follows:â€"Farm originâ€" s \from British Columbia and Quebec, and ! ‘from the Kirkland Lake camp of Onâ€" jtaric, Canada will probably rank secâ€" |ond among the gold preducers of the | world, the estimated production for |1930 being fortyâ€"three million dollars. \Furthermcre Canada contributes very |substantially to the world‘s requireâ€" | ments of copper, lead anda zinc, as well \as of the nonâ€"metallics such as asbestas | | and gypsum. l ; "Yet; important as our minerals arei to world industry, what I should like| \to impress upon you tonight is their immense importancte to the industrial and economic life of this country. "Here is an industry in which, at the end of 1929, the latest year for which industrial statistics are available, there was invested some $850,000,000 in lands, plants, buildings and working cacltal. More than 95,000 men were employed in operating the mines, smeiters, cil and gas wells, brick plants and quarries, ’ their payroll for the year amounting to ’ $125,000,000. to recognize the boegey of industrial deâ€" pression, but has during the year just past when most other industries were curtailing activity, undertaken mors and larger expninsion than was ever attempted in any previous year. "Fcor man must have metals and minerals for his welfare and comfort. Deprive him of them and he must shortly return to a savage state. I sometimes think that we have become so accustomed to them in our daily life that we are apt to forget their origin and so fail to appreciate the importance of the mineral industry in our civilizaâ€" tion.

However, it has been announced that the Dominion will still require a five per cent. contribution from the Provinces, and it is quite probable that this means that the machinery now in effect will continue. We cannot think of a better system. It would cost a large sum of money if the Dominion Government had to pay officials all over the country, an then the work could not be so well done as it is now being done. It is not likely that the municipalities will again be called upon for money for the pension fund. Howâ€" ever, we do not vet know." "And lastâ€"That with the outstandâ€"| ing developments just discussed in full operation and with vast areas still to be prospected, there need be little doubt as to the future of the Canadian minâ€" eral industry.

Because of this creditable performance, the Canadian mining industry has served as the prinâ€" cipal stabilizing influence on the busiâ€" ness structure of the country.

"The outlook for the future of the |mining industry based on the progress Jand expansion of the past 18 months f !is most bright. Undcubtedly the Sudâ€" | bury district of Ontario has witnessed |more activity during the past year and .la. half than has any other Canadian lmining centre.

A smelter with a capacity of 5,000 tons of ore a day was erected and put into ! operation at Copper Cliff. In the conâ€" struction of plants of this nature there Iis always a considerable amount of auxiliary construction carried out: For instance, it was necessary to a power line from Abitibi Canycen to Copâ€" i per Cliff, and to erect many residen:es, in and about Sudbury to house workâ€". and officials. You can readily unâ€" Iderstand the importance of such activiâ€" \ty, coming as it did during a pericd of igeneral industrial depression. | "At Montreal East the Norandal Mines Limited in association with the| Nichols Copper Comprnny and the Briâ€" tish Metals Corporation, are erecting a copper refinery to have a capacity of some 150,000,000 lbs. of refined copper, a vear. "Although most of the progress mads by the mining and related industries within the last decade is due to the enterprise and initiative of the prospecâ€" tors, the mining engineer, the metalâ€" lurgist, the capitalist and the investor, the assistance and encouragement givâ€" en by the various Provincial Governâ€" ments and by the Federal Government have served as a stimulus to the indusâ€" try especially in the earlier stages of development of properties. "In 1929, of the total tonnage of reâ€" venue freight carried by the railways irrespective of the distance borne, 370 was mine products and 120 was manufactures based on mine products making at total of close to 500. This docs not take into consideration the high tonnage of supplies shiriped to the mining areas, dependent to a very ilarge extent on the minsral industry. "The value o mineral products for l 1\')""'\ 1*‘A} 222 was over 315 millions.
