Great Activity in All Fields. The following review of the mining situation has been prepared at the direction of Dr. Charles Camsell, Deâ€" puty Minister of Mines for the Doâ€" minion, by Mr. Wyatt Malcolm of the Geological Survey :â€" The mining industry continues to play a very important role and make a contribution of the first order to the prosperity of Canada. It is an indusâ€" try that, sadly neglected for a long time, has made a striking growth Quaker FULâ€"Q@â€"PEP during the last quarter of a century. It is now firmly established and its future is assured. The annual mineral production is nearly $250,000,000. The most important metals produced in Canada are gold, copper, nickel, lead, zinc and silver,. _ When proâ€" duction statistiecs for the year have been assembled there will probably be found no great difference in total value for the years 1926 and 1927. Increase in production in some cases may be offset by lower prices that have prevailed during the year for copper, lead, zine and silver. An average falling off in price for copper, lead and zince of about one cent pound, which is the actual story for 1927, is a big item in the figuring of net profits. Notwithstanding this, production has been well maintained. British Columbia leads in copper, with three large mines at Anyox, Briâ€" tannia and Allenby ; Ontario is a good second with copper from the Sudbury ores; and Quebec third, producing from a mine that has been in nearly continuous operation for half a cenâ€" tury. Quebece will show a very subâ€" THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO stantial increase next year since the Noranda smelter will no doubt have started operations before this appears in print. The recent increase in the price of copper will be an important factor in getting this industry firmly established and will also be an inâ€" centive to push work towards bringing the big Flin Flon ore body of northern Manitoba to a producing stage at as early a date as possible. _ The conâ€" struction of the branch line of railway to the Flin Flon has been decided upon and there is every promise that as a result Manitoba will soon take her place as one of the important mining provinces. With the building of this railway is bound up also the future of a deposit of copperâ€"zine ore of «considerable magnitude at Cold Lake. A flurry was created by the discovery in the Frood mine, Sudbury, of a body of ore running yery high in copper. _ All of this goes to prove that as a copper producer Canada has good prospects of great expansion. The nickel industry of Ontario is bnovant and figures for the first nine months of the year show a very satisâ€" factory increase. There has been a substantial increase in the gold proâ€" duction of Ontario, but a falling off in that of British Columbia. Ontario accounts for about 88 per cent. of the total Canadian production. The auriâ€" ferous content of the Noranda ores will bring Quebee to the fore next year with a much larger production of gold than she has yet made. The Sullivan mine of British Columâ€" bia is the source of the greater part of the lead and zine produced in Canada. The Slocan mining division accounts for a considerable quantity. There is also a production of lead from Yukon, Ontario, and Quebec, and of zine from Quebec. The silver of Ontario has suffered a slight falling off and British Columbia is now well in the lead, deriving her silver from lead and zine ores and from the gold and silver deposits of Portland canal. Asbestos production is good, activity in building, construction, waterâ€"power development have flected favourably on the cement clayâ€"products industries. Better labour conditions have preâ€" vailed in general in the coalâ€"fields with a resultant increase in production. Drilling has been active in the search for petroleum. Several dry holes have been drilled in different parts of the country, and a test well sunk to a depth of about 6,000 feet on Goverâ€" nor‘s island, Prince Edward Island, failed to strike anything of value. Operations elsewhere have met with success. Oil has been struck in addiâ€" tional wells in the Turner Valley field, Alberta, and as a result the producâ€" tion for this year shows a substantial increase. The striking of oil in a well near Skiff in the southern part of Alberta has drawn attention to the possibilities of this area, and exploraâ€" tory work on the Ribstoneâ€"Blackfoot structure has been satisfactory. 1/ cups WAarer Add seasoning to tomatoes and simâ€" mer fifteen minutes, straimn.
