Has Almost Every Mineral The "discovery of Red Lake with its avowedly rich gold deposits in veins ihat range from io to 66 feet in wid- th with an ore carrying from. $5o to $75 worth bf gold per ton again de- monstrates the immense possibilities that 'lie in what was once the 'under- rated North, The mineral production of, Canada is growing at- such a rate as to attract predictions of world do- niinance from the most eminent geo- logists. ,,, We are the first in nickel, third in gold andhigh up in silver, le- ad and. zinc. Last year in Ontario, alone $125,000,000 worth of minerals were produced and now Quebec is un- locking her treasure chest to show the world that she too possesses copper deposits of almost incredible richness.. British Columbia, Alberta and Mani- toba are also great producers of min- erals. Canada will soon be known to the world as' the possessor of almost every mineral required in„ commerce..
