Herewith will be {found arocther of the series of able addresses by Hon. T. A. Crerar, Minister of Mines and Reâ€" sources. Tae series of addresses last year by Hon. Mr. Crerar were so valuâ€" able that there was a general demand for their reproduction in booklet form.! Last year The Advance publisned the series in full, and this year is following a similar procedure. The address last weekâ€" was as follows:â€" Canada‘s Gold Mining Indusiry In the series of addresses I delivered slmost a year ago, it was pointed out Eow the search for gold was pushing back cur northern frontiers, and bridgâ€" inz the gap between the industrial Past and the agricultural West, creatâ€" ing employmeat, markets for our farmâ€" ers and manufacturers, and traffic for cur transportation sy=stems, as well as maintaining cour credit abroad. I also expressed the view that, remarka®e as the achievements of our mireral indusâ€" try hadâ€" been, Canada appeared to be cnly at the threshold of its mining aeâ€" velopment. mineral cutput of $360,000,000, being a gain Oof nearly $15,000,000, or 13 per ent. over 1935, the previous record year. It is interesting to note that the value of Canada‘s gold production has !seen steadily increasing since 1924, the value that year, based oi thne present price of gold, being slightly more than $43,000,000. The increase in 1936 can be traced largely to the 32 new gold proâ€" perties that entered produzgtion during pertiés that entered produciion during the year. Including the output frorm these new prcperties, Canada‘s gold milling plants were treating a total of close to 37,000 tons of ore daily at the close of 1936. This is an increase of 4000 tons over 1935, ard compares with only 16,000 tons daily at the close of 1931. Gold Mining Greatest Factor for Recovery Gold Industry Contributed $130,000,000 to Mineral Output in 1937, Says Hon. T. A. Crerar, Minister of Mines, in Another of his Able Addresses on Resources of Canada. In the ccurse of the next three adâ€" dresses I propose to show how the deâ€" velopments of the past year have justiâ€" fied our expectation that the mining industry would expand. T‘3â€"night it is my intention to review the gold industry, which last year conâ€" tributed more than $130,000,000 :o our tons daily at the close of 1931. Last year Canada‘s gold mines paid dividends amsunting to $35,400,000, the highest in the history of the industry, and a gain of more than $6,000,000 over 1935. The amount is notably in contrast with payments of $3,200,000 in 1920, and of $12,000,000 in 1930, and is approxiâ€" mately 45 per cent. of the total dividend disbursements by Canadian mines in 1930. Nota ‘>l¢ number C every g3 Szotia reports a ved at $390,000 over 1935. For r gold cutput steadily, and in at only $12.000. tron. men less than two years ago, was second on the list and Sissco® third. Altogether, 15 properties corntributed to the output in 1936, as against 12 in 1935, and only tw©, Ncranda and Siscoe, in 1929. Diviâ€" dends paid by the gold mines of Queâ€" bec, including Noranda, amounted to more than $8,000.000 in 1936. gain of $7 Because of the stimulus it has given to exploratory and development effort in that section of the province, the disâ€" closure of sections of high grade gold ore in the Cadillacâ€"Malartic area early in 1936 ranks as one of the most imâ€" maq pid] aque mine, which enterec prod is than two years ago, was sec e list and Sisscoe third.

Following the rise in ever, mining has exparded d at the close of 1936 twelve rties were in steady producâ€" ion and the portant developments of the year. EFince then this section cf Quebec has pecome one of the busiest zones of miring alttivity in the country. At least 25 prcperties are undeor active developâ€" ment, some of which are nearing proâ€" cuction and many of which show proâ€" mise of becoming successful progucers. Led by th> Lake Shore mine in the Kirkland Lake area, and the Hollinger mine in the Porcupine area, the mines o. Ontario preduced gold to thne value cf $83,000,000 in 1936. Output from these two companies alone reached a comâ€" bined value Oof $30,000,000. C this amount over $15,000,000 was paid in dividends; approximately eight and cneâ€"quarter million for salaries and wages; and five and cneâ€"half million for supplies and equipment. It is estiâ€" mated that the two comparies conâ€" tricuted directly and indirectly to the support of more than 125,000 peopie in 1936. of Lake Rowar, east of Lake of the Wocds; and to the Red Lake and Saâ€" chigo River areas in the Patricita disâ€" trict. Exploratory activities were feaâ€" tured by the remarkable success ayâ€" tending developments in the Larder Lake area east of Kirklnd Lake, and to the less spectacular, but equaily sigâ€" nificant results of developments in the Goudreau area north of Sault te. Marie. Both of these areas have been intensively prospected and explored for years, and the success attained is doing much to stimulate interest ir other old areas throughout the province. Last year the gold mines of Ontario paid dividends amounting to more than $29,000,000, a new reicord. It may be notâ€" ed that seven properties which entered production within the past five years paid dividends totalling two and oneâ€" cuarter million dollars in 1836. Gcold produ:ction from the mines of theh Kirkland Lake and Porcupine areas eccmibined reached a total of $69,â€" 20¢,000 in 1936, a gain of. $1,700,000 over the previous year; and cutput from the mines of northwestern Ontario $13,500.â€" C8d0, a gain of $2,800,000 over 1935. Prospeciting was more ~active and more claims were staked in Ontario in 1936 than in any past year. Practically all of the promising gold mining areas so far diszovered shared in the activity, but particular attention was given to theh Kenora district, where an imporâ€" tant discovery was made in the vicinity ment Cf prCcperties in the rliin Fion area were among the more imporiant developmerts in Manitcba in 1936. In Saskatchewan interest was again centred in the Lake Athabaska area in the northwestern section of the proâ€" vince, where several promising goid proscpects are being actively explored. The gold output in British Columbia in 1936, valued at fifteen and oreâ€"imlf million dollars, was the highest in the histery of the province, and compare with $13,800,000 in 19353. Lode gold outâ€" put reached a new high mark, and placer cuiput was higher than in any year since 1903. Led by the Bralorne and Picreer mines in the Bridge River area,. 36 gold propertiss contributed to the output. Ten of these companies paid divideru‘s in 1936 totalling over $3,600,â€" 000. The year was featured by the enâ€" couraging rosults of uncersground deâ€" velopment work at the Pioreer mine. Elsewhere throughout the province, more in the Atlin, Portland Canal, Kamlocops, Cariboo, Nelson and Similkameen areas, gold mining operaâ€" tions were much more intensive in 1936 than in 1935. Several of the properties in these zreas are small, ut many of these that have reached the production stage have monthly outputs ranging from $25,000 to $60,000. At no time has interest in the development of gold properties in the province been keenet than at present and there is every indiâ€" cution that cutput this year will be bhigher than in 1936. old output from Yukon in 1836 exceeded $1,800,000, an increase of more than $500,000 over 1935. Interest was certred in the Klondike area, where Yukon Consolidated Gold Corporation had seven large dredges in coperation. In the Northwest Territories the disâ€" covery of gold at Gordon lake, fifty miles northeast of Yellowkniie Bay, ranks as cne of the most importart deâ€" velopments in that portion of Canada in 1936. Preliminary samples taken from the deposits showed values in gold ranging from $16 to several hundred dollars a ton. The discoveries wers made in an area mapped by the Doâ€" partment in 1935, and specially reâ€" câ€"mmended to the attention of prosâ€" pectors. It is apparent from the foregoing reâ€" view, and from the resord of the inâ€" dustry in recent years, that gold mining in Canada is firmly established. The older producing companies, some of which have been in steady proeduction fcr more than a quarter of a century, show every evidence cfi many more years of operation. The younger preducers, most of which nave entered production since 1931, have been particularly successful in the deâ€" velopment of their properties, Each year imporitant finds are being made, sclentific research in deciding on treatâ€" mert methods for the ores. of thae suctess of the industry in recent years can be attributed to this effiient search for mew deposits and to the orderly yrocedure in the development of proâ€" perties. some of them in partialiy explored or unexplored areas, and others in disâ€" tricts that have been prospected for more than 30 years. Gold developments in Canada toâ€"day, in all its stages from prospecting to preduction, is so well organized that the expendliitures of large sums in unwarranted efforts is becoming less frequent. Prospectors and exploration companies in their search for gold make full use of the wealth of geclog.i:al knowledge placed at their disposal by the Department of Mines and Resources, and by the several proâ€" vincial departments. In the deveiopâ€" ment of raw prospects cperators foilow wellâ€"tried mining methods in proving up their ore bedies, and when the proâ€" perties are ready for production every advantage is taken Of thne results of additronal.

Let us briefly comâ€" pare the two countries. Gcold cutput from South Africa in 1936 reached an estimated value of almost $400,000,000, or more than three times that of Canâ€" ada; and the companies operating there paid dividends totalling $85,000,â€" 000, which is $50,000,000 more than payâ€" ments made by Canada‘s gold mines. They employed approximately 35,000 persons of European descent, and 300,â€" 000 natives, who received an estimated total of more than $115,000,000 in salâ€" aries and wages. Canada‘s gold industry produced over 130 million dollars, and employed 28,000 men whose salaries and wages exceeded $43,000,005, While it may be many years Canada‘s annual preduction of gold will approach that of Scuth Africa, it is well to bear in mird that in the past ten years output of gold from Canadian mines has increased by 110 per cent., whereas the percentage increase in South Afriza during the same period has been relatively small. Although the pessibilities of firding new sources of gold in that ccuntry are not exhausted the total area of unproespected and parâ€" tially developed territory is much smallâ€" er in extent than that in Canada.

Committee members, with Mr. Ellis; Aitorneyâ€"General Roevucc, representâ€" ing the Hepburn Government; and Major James Clark, committee Chairâ€" man, providing most of the argument, wrargled fcor a good hour and a hnalf over the desire of the Opposition to get seyond the particular items they had asked to be investigated. Mr. Ellis moved that Dr. B. T. Mcâ€" Chie, Deputy Minister cof Health, be subpoenaed before the committee at its next meeting to give evidence regardâ€" ing ibills for repairs to eleven Ontario hospitals during the last fiscal year.

The survey, which covers theâ€"greater part of the mining and nonâ€"ferrous msotallurgical industries, is made ([:y the Domirion Bureau ofâ€" Statistics in â€"eollaboration with the Ontario Mining and Canadian Metal Mining Associations. An exâ€" amination cof the report emphasizes the varied nature of the supplies and equipâ€" ment used in ths mining industry, which provides a market for many other Canadian industries and for imports from other countries as well. ‘The diversity and magnitude of the expenditures of the mining industry of Canada may be appreciated by a study of the figures for some ¢of the outâ€" starding items. The expenditure for electric power in 1935 was $10,714,000; for fuels $9,264,000; explosives $5,550,â€" CCO; lumber and timber $5,051,000; maâ€" chinery $5,585,000; electric equipment $2,614,000; and rock drills and parts $1,â€" 235,000. A few of the other items inâ€" cluded $660,100 for wire rope; $797,400 for drill and tcol steels; $633,.200 for track materials; $351,500 for belting; $875,000 for fiotation reâ€"agents; and $381,900 for rubber goods. . No figures are giver in the report as to imports; but some idea of the situation may be Obtained from the fact that imports of mining and metallurgical machinery in 1935 had a total value of $2,104,000.

Total expenditures in the fuel group increased, on the same pariscr, from $9,626,000 to $10,965,000, an increase of 13.9 per cent. Ontario led the provinces in expendiâ€" tures by the mining industry with a tctal of $40,974,000 or 48.3 per cent. of the Dominion figure.
