Chemical Engineering in
Canada.
The development of many of the na-
tural resources of Canada is entirely
dependent upon the ability of the en-
gineering profession. This is particu-
larly the case with our mineral re-
sources. Such problems as the ex-
traction of a few ounces of gold from
a ton of quartz, the sub -division of the
metallic contents• of the cobalt -silver
ores, the separation of the sulphide
ores of Northern Manitoba or the
utilization of the many metallic and
non-metallic minerals of Saskatche-
wan and Alberta are in the hands of
chemical and metallurgical engineers
for soultion.
The same eonditlion applies, to the
development of agriculture, says the
