Abstract
THE continued progress of the mineral industry in Canada is shown by the Annual Report and Statistics by Mr. John McLeish. Mineral statistics for the whole of the Dominion were first compiled in 1886, and the annual value of the production between then and 1909 has increased ninefold. The minerals raised in Canada in 1909 were worth more than 6,300,000 dollars above those of the previous year. The most important increase was in the structural materials and clays, in which the rise was from 11,339,000 to 16,533,000 dollars. The yield of the metallic products increased in value about 2,500,000 dollars, but there was a fall in the total for the non-metallic minerals of a million dollars.
