Natural Resources Bulletin.
The Natural Resources Intelligence
Service of the Dept. of the Interior at
Ottawa sayer
Wtih en estimated total mineral
production for 1923 of 3214,020,000,
Canada reached the second highest
value in the history of this- industry.
In 1920 values reached $227;859,000,
but owing to the higher prices then
prevailing for many "mineral's, the
quantity produced was .much below
that for 1923.
Milling is the only industryin a
country which, from its very nature,
cannot be :permanent; other industries
can be made to yield an annual return
in interest while the capital ,remains
unimpairedor even increases in value.
With the introduction of, high explos-
sives And modern machinery,;the ex-
haustion of any ;mineral deposit is
much move speedily attained than
with the cruder appliances of former
tunes, and while under modern condi
tions, some of our great milling
camps, as for instance, that of the
Sudbury district, will continue to yield
an enormous output for many years,
or perhaps decades yet to come, others
have already passedtheir period' of
maximum yield, and the output, while.
yet•large; is decreasing.'
The discovery and development of
mining regions, however,' even al -
these must
lthese-must beexhaustedin time, is
often of the greatest importance to a
c 'nnmunity; and''M the earlier stages
of its development bring about the
opening up acid, settlenient'of remote
tracts of couiitiy,, which'subsequently
develop other industries. Such a trans
formation has taken place in many
pacts of Canada, where the .develop=;
menti of the mineral areas has fur-,
Dished the incentive for the utiliza-
tion of the water -powers, the 'con-'
structioh of i'ailways and the estab-
lishment of many' permanent settle-
ments.
