The bulk of the ore; as in 1901, was raised from the Helen Mine, Michipicoten, where other important deposits of hematite are also in course of development. The production of pig iron was slightly under that of 1901, blast furnaces finding it dieficult to pro- cure regular and adequate supplies of coke. However, 3,683 tons, valued at $18,652, were produced, The very decided increase in quan-- Y tity of steel produced from 14,471 tons, worth $347,280 in 1901, to 68,802 tons, worth $1,610,081, in 198 was mainlydue to the start - in up of the Clerguer3* g- works at Sault Ste.

The Portland cement industry is being firmly planted in this province, where immense s p piles 0ctthe r w materials for 1 its g plants were at work in 1902, and since the beginning of the present •year an- other large factory has conte intoin operation. Three or four others areg under construction. In addition, na- tural roe]: cement is being made at four different establishments. The' totaoutput of cement rose from 489,•..•-8 barrels, worth $670,880, in 1901, to 600,199 barrels, worth 8967,016 in 1902. There appears to have been ,a falling off in the pro- duction of ordinary building bricxc. Mica shows a large proportionate gain, while the output of natural gas has shrunk more than half the dimensions of 1901, in consequence largely of the withdrawal of per- mission to export this article. The yield of petroleum remained almost stationery. The value in the above table is that of . the refinery products, together with the value of the crude used for gas and fuel purposes, in which a much larger share of the product is now employed than formerly. • Y- .. •the Engineer Who Servet g Bar -Stock Broker Bookmaker, •When .a young roan of dePhson proliosod a to the, daughter of al man, laic suit was no le con'sidered'.
