as possible facts thus brought out will
be made available to. any interested,
in taking up the development. The
Government will also undertake the
advertising iu the interests of Indus-
tries created to induce the People of
Saskatchewan to give every support to
home development.
• Clay Products and Lumbering.
The first industry of which a surve3
will be made is the clay industry;
Geological surveys indicate that the
province has some of the most vale
able clay deposits in the world and
she has also the raw material condi
tion, for the manufacture of clay pro,.
ducts. Heavy importation of manu-
factured brick has been necessary fox
provincial buiicting from Manitoba and
Alberta as well as heavy quantities
from the United States. Plants in op-
eration cannot supply the demand• and.
it is hoped and confidently expected
that the industry can be developed to
not only supply home needs but en-
gage in export.
It is believed that the bureau can
improve the lumber industry in the.
province, In 1919, there were 13 mills:
operating with an output'of 75,000,000
board feet valued at $2,122,000... Na
advantage, for instance, has been
taken of the immense possibilities of
pulp manufacture 'in'the province, a.
question of prime importance in view
of the universal shortage of newsprint.,
Coal Mining and Briquetting.
Coal mining has possibilities of
greater development notwithstanding
there are 67: coal mines in the pro-
vinee producing 300,000 tons per yrs,,
The Dominion Government, in ca-
junctiou with the Provincial Govern- -•g
ments of Manitoba and Saskatchewan,
has erected a plant at Estevan, Sas-
katchewan, for the briquetting of pro- noieee
viucial lignite, which is now in op-
eration.
A professor in London, England

and the Canadian agents are prepared
to erect boilers and plant for any
municipality or responsible firm and
to guarantee the efficiency and defer
payment until the muuicfpality or firm
is satisfied that the guarantee of effi-
ciency is complied with, In this con-
nection an. interesting thing is the -
large resources of the province's lig-
nite fields. The Bureau of Industries
will interest itself in this development.

of this kind the bureau will arrange
to analyse free of ch�nrge any specimen
