says:*
Few people in Ontario realize
the 'extent to• which, non-metallic
minerals enter, into the produc-
tion of some of our more com-
mon articles of use. In the
manufacture of prepared roof-
ings and mineral wallboard, for
instance, -five factories aro en-
gaged in Ontario. During the
year ending March last these
companiea,used, among others,
the fallowing' quantities of non,
metallic minerals: actinolite,
100,000 pounds; asbestos, ".181;
000.pounds; asbestos sand, -118,-
000 pounds;, asphalt, 12,912,456
pounds; ground dolomite,
pounds; ground feldspar,
42,344 pounds; ground magne-
site, 637,772 pounds; marble.
dust, 2,100 pounds ;"ground mica,'
230,000 pounds; silica -sand, 1,-
792,650 pounds; slate' granules,
9,298;000 pounds; and talc, '1,-
- 810,705 pounds. With the ex-
ception of the silica sand all
these non-metallic minerals are
of Canadian origin.
This line .:'of. industry is one
which is rapidly expanding, and
will consequently" require in-
creased quantities of -these ma-
terials. Many othermanufac-
tures make"use of, non-rzretallia'
minerals, notably the paint :in-
dustry, pottery, stoneware,, por-
celain and enamelware making,
rubber goods, soaps, and toilet
preparations, etch Road -making
also requires enormous quanti-
ties, as does also building .con-
