Minister of Mines Office, March 31st, 1960. Brian Terence O'Grady died at Victoria on luly 12th, 1959, at the age of 76. He had been in the employ of the Department from 1920 until his retirement in April, 1948. He was very well known in the mining industry. Mr. O'Grady was born in Madras, India, and was educated in England at Wellington College and the Royal School of Mines. After three years in South Africa he came to Canada in 1907. From 1910 to 1913 he was engineer in charge of surveys for the Municipality of Victoria. He was on active service from 1914 to 1918, winning the Military Cross and the Serbian White Eagle. He joined the Department as Assistant Resident Mining Engineer at Revelstoke in 1920, became successively Resident Mining Engineer at Nelson and Vancouver, and from 1938 was engaged in special work at Victoria. In 1942 he joined up as a captain in the Pacific Command and was field supervisor of the Pacific Coast Militia Rangers. While in Victoria he was adviser to the Superintendent of Brokers, and for several years after retirement he did consultive engineering work for the Department of Public Works and the Department of Mines. Mr. O'Grady is survived by his widow, one son, and one daughter.

The Annual Report records the salient facts in the progress of the mineral industry, also much detail about individual operations, including those undertaken in the search for, exploration of, and development of mineral deposits, as well as the actual winning of material from mineral deposits. The Annual Report of the Minister of Mines now contains introductory sections dealing with Statistics and Departmental Work, followed by sections dealing with Lode Metals; Placer; Structural Materials and Industrial Minerals; Petroleum and Natural Gas; Inspection of Lode Mines, Placer Mines, and Quarries; Coal; and Inspection of Electrical Equipment and Installations at Mines and Quarries, each with its own table of contents. A table listing the properties described, in geographic groupings, precedes the index. An introductory review of the mineral industry and notes at the first of several of the main sections deal generally with the industry or its principal subdivisions. Notes in the various sections deal briefly with exploration or production operations during the year or describe a property in more complete detail, outlining the history of past work and the geological setting as well as describing the workings and the mineral deposits exposed in them. Some notes deal with areas rather than with a single property. The work of the branches of the Department is outlined briefly in the section on Departmental Work. This section is followed by notes dealing briefly with the work of other British Columbia or Federal Government services of particular interest to the mineral industry of British Columbia. Information concerning mine operations and some of the activities of the Inspection Branch of the Department of Mines is contained in the section on Inspection of Lode Mines, Placer Mines, and Quarries, early in the section on Coal and in the section on Inspection of Electrical Equipment and Installations at Mines and Quarries. The section on Statistics begins with an outline of current and past practice in arriving at quantities and calculating the value of the various products. A 9 Review of the Mineral Industry* The final figures for 1959 mineral production in British Columbia indicate that, compared with 1958, the aggregate value increased 2.8 million dollars. However, the 1959 figure, $149,568,162, is 8 per cent below the average for the past decade. Compared with 1958, the value for principal metals was virtually unchanged, gains were recorded for miscellaneous metals, industrial minerals, and fuels, and a 5-per-cent loss was recorded for structural materials. Average prices for the principal metals year by year are shown on page A 14. The 1959 price for gold, almost the lowest in ten years, reflects the high discount on United States funds in Canada. The average discount for 1959 was 4.09 per cent, compared with 2.91 per cent for 1958. For silver, copper, and zinc, price gains more than offset the greater discount, and the prices in Canadian funds exceeded those of 1958. The lead price was slightly below that of 1958. The price for copper improved almost 12 per cent compared with the 1958 price and stimulated copper output, which substantially exceeded the 1958 figures in quantity and value. The improvement in copper production is partly obscured by the fact that from late August until the last few days of 1959 the Tacoma smelter was closed because of a strike. During that period most of the copper concentrates produced in British Columbia and some gold concentrates were stockpiled. Although the mines operated during the period, the concentrates remaining in the stockpiles at the end of the year are not credited to 1959 production. For the other lode metals of the principal metals group, 1959 quantities were a little below those of 1958 and, except for zinc, values also were below 1958 levels. The miscellaneous metals group increased, compared with 1958, because of increases in iron ore and by-product metals. Industrial minerals increased because of increases in asbestos, sulphur, and gypsum. The decline in the structural materials group from the 1958 level stems from reduced output of sand, gravel, rubble, riprap, and crushed stone; the other items of the group—cement, lime and limestone, and stone—increased. Coal output has been falling since 1956, and the 1959 value was about half that of 1956; however, increases for oil, natural gas, and natural-gas liquids more than offset the decrease in coal, giving a combined value for fuels that is the highest in three decades. Comparison of 1959 output for any mineral product with that of 1958 or any year in the period 1950-59 can readily be made in Table III, pages A 16 and A 17. The percentage of the aggregate value contributed by each group of products in 1959, with the average for the ten-year period in brackets, were: Principal metals, 62.6 (72.7) per cent; miscellaneous metals, 7.6 (6.8) per cent; industrial minerals, 9.4 (4.5) per cent; structural materials, 12.7 (9.8) per cent; fuels, 7.6 (6.0) per cent. Comparison with earlier decades would make it apparent that industrial minerals and structural materials, and some metals of the miscellaneous group have been gaining in relative importance as well as in dollar value. The increased output of copper resulted from the resumption of production at the Britannia and Woodgreen mines and the beginning of production by Phoenix Copper Company Limited. Nickel production was resumed at the Pride of Emory property, which had closed in 1958. Iron ore was shipped from four mines, the Nimpkish and Hualpai companies shipping for the first time. The Torbrit company closed its operation at Alice Arm, having produced 18,600,000 ounces of silver since production began in 1949. *By Hartley Sargent. A 10 REVIEW OF THE MINERAL INDUSTRY, 1959 A 11 Exploration and development were carried on actively in many parts of the Province, interest being directed toward the principal metals, toward iron and molybdenum, and also toward siliceous flux and industrial minerals. The number of lode mineral claims recorded in 1959 was 13,455, just four fewer than in 1958; the number of certificates of work issued was 13,818, some 3,760 more than in 1958. The acreage held for petroleum and natural gas under lease, permit, or licence in northeastern British Columbia increased; holdings in other areas decreased substantially. Exploration was carried on in many areas, but drilling was confined to northeastern British Columbia. In that area drilling was done on 140 wells— forty-four were completed as gas wells, twenty as oil wells, forty-six were abandoned, and at the end of the year two were suspended and twenty-eight drilling. Production of oil, natural gas, and natural-gas liquids all increased, oil production increasing more than 50 per cent compared with 1958. Revenue to the Government from petroleum and natural gas amounted to $16,575,155.81, including rental fees, penalties, and miscellaneous $4,790,850.90, tender bonus $10,990,814.32, and royalties $793,453.90. The average number employed through 1959 in placer, lode, coal, industrial- mineral, and structural-material mining was 10,779. Major expenditures by all branches of the industry included: Salaries and wages, $49,961,996; fuel and electricity, $7,677,321; process supplies (inclusive of explosives, chemicals, drill- steel, lubricants, etc.), $17,371,638; Federal taxes, $8,401,819; Provincial taxes, $2,195,194; municipal and other taxes, $2,059,480; levies for workmen's compensation (including silicosis), unemployment insurance, and other items, $2,140,- 113. Dividends amounted to $16,444,281. The lode-mining industry spent $27,079,911 in freight and treatment charges on ores and concentrates. Returns from the operators indicate that in addition to the foregoing items the metal-mining and industrial-mineral sections of the industry spent a further $640,000 for work done by contract. Of the expenditures listed in the preceding paragraph, $5,892,000 is expenditure by the petroleum and natural-gas section of the industry. A return from the Canadian Petroleum Association shows that on December 31st, 1959, the number employed in petroleum and natural-gas activities in British Columbia was 473, and the total expenditure in 1959 (including the $5,892,000 already mentioned) was $57,450,000, made up of: Exploration, $42,942,000; development drilling, $5,503,000; capital expenditures (mainly field equipment), $3,540,000; operation of wells, $1,138,000; natural-gas plants, $3,440,000; taxes and royalties, $737,000; and all other expenses, $150,000. Statistics The statistics of the mineral industry are collected and compiled and the statistical tables for this Report are prepared by the Bureau of Economics and Statistics, Department of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce. The tabulated statistics are designed to cover mineral production in quantity and value, employment, principal expenditures of the mineral industry, and dividends paid. The data are arranged so as to facilitate comparison of the production records for the various mining divisions, and from year to year (1951, 1958).* From time to time, revisions have been made to earlier figures as additional data became available or errors came to light. * In these notes, references such as (1958) are to this section of the Report of the Minister of Mines for the year indicated, where additional information will be found. A 12 REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1959 METHODS OF COMPUTING PRODUCTION The tables of statistics recording the mineral production of the Province for each year are compiled from certified returns made by the operators, augmented by some data obtained from the Royal Canadian Mint, from the operators of custom smelters, and from the records of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources. The values are in Canadian funds. Metals Prior to 1925 the average prices for gold and copper are true average prices, but, as a means of correcting for losses in smelting and refining, the prices of other metals were taken at the following percentages of the year's average price for the metal: Silver, 95 per cent; lead, 90 per cent; and zinc, 85 per cent. For 1925 and subsequent years the value has been calculated using the true average price and the net metal contents, in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources. Placer Gold The value of placer gold in dollars is obtained from returns received annually from the operators (1958). A fineness of 822Vi is taken as the average for crude placer gold (p. A 14). Lode Metals, Gross and Net Contents, and Calculated Value The gross contents are compiled from the returns made each year by the producers and for any metal are the total assay contents, obtained by multiplying the assay by the weight of ore, concentrates, or bullion. The value for each principal metal is calculated by multiplying the quantity (gross for gold, net for silver, copper, lead, and zinc) by the average price for the year. The net contents are calculated by taking a percentage of the gross content: in lead ores and concentrates and zinc concentrates—silver, 98 per cent; lead, 95 per cent; zinc, 85* per cent of the total assay content; and in copper concentrates, 95 per cent of the silver and the total assay content of copper less 10 pounds per ton of concentrates. Average Metal Prices The methods of computing prices have varied because of changing conditions (1958). The prices are now arrived at by methods given in footnotes to the table of average prices on page A 14. Fuel Coal All coal produced, including that used in making coke, is shown as primary mine production. As the data are of interest to the mining industry, Table X is included in the Report to show the total coke and by-products made in the Province, and the values given by the producers. Pre-1926 data have been reworked and brought into conformity with current practice. Quantities of coal or coke, expressed as long tons (2,240 pounds) until 1947, have been recalculated as short tons (2,000 pounds) (1958). * For zinc concentrates shipped to foreign smelters the net contents are calculated as the assay content less eight units of zinc per ton of concentrate. STATISTICS A 13 The average price for coal, listed year by year (see p. A 14), is the total value divided by the quantity. Up to and including 1945, the quantity (Table IXa) is the gross mine output; for 1946 and subsequent years, the quantity is that sold and used (Tables IXa and IXc). For 1946 and subsequent years, the value (Tables I, III, VIIa, IXa, IXb, and IXc) is the amount realized from sales of coal, at colliery loading points, plus the colliery valuation of coal used under companies' boilers and in making coke. Washery loss and changes in stocks, year by year, are shown in the table " Collieries of British Columbia, Production and Distribution by Collieries and by Districts " (p. 253). Natural Gas Commercial production of natural gas began in 1954. The production* shown in Tables I, III, VIIa, and VIIIa is the total dry and residue gas sold. The quantity is reported as thousands of cubic feet at standard conditions (14.4 pounds per square inch pressure, 60° F. temperature). Natural-gas Liquid By-products This heading covers condensate removed from natural gas in preparation for transmission through the main gas pipe-line. The by-products* consist of butane, propane, and natural gasoline. Petroleum Production of petroleum began in 1955, and is shown* in Tables I, III, VIIa, and VIIIa. The quantity is reported in barrels (35 imperial gallons=l barrel). CO-OPERATION WITH DOMINION BUREAU OF STATISTICS In the interests of uniformity and to avoid duplication of effort, beginning with the statistics for 1925, arrangements were made between the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the various Provincial Departments for co-operation in the collection and processing of mineral statistics. Producers of metals, industrial minerals, structural materials, and coal are requested to submit returns in duplicate on forms prepared for use by the Province and by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. So far as possible both organizations follow the same practice in processing the data. The final compilation by the Dominion Bureau is usually published considerably later than the Report of the Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources for British Columbia. When the publications are compared, some differences became apparent. Differences in quantities of metals arise primarily from the fact that the Dominion Bureau bases its quantities mainly on returns made by smelter operators, whereas the British Columbia Mining Statistician uses the returns from individual mines covering shipments in the same period. Since the arrangement was made between the statisticians, the production of copper and zinc, and to a lesser extent of lead, has increased in other parts of Canada. The Dominion Bureau now uses prices for those metals that may differ from those applicable to British Columbia production. The latter continues to be valued mainly on United States prices converted to Canadian funds. Another reason for differences in the total net value of mineral products for British Columbia arises from the fact that the Dominion Bureau includes peat under the classification fuel. Peat has not been regarded as mineral or fuel in British Columbia and accordingly is not included in the Provincial statistics of mineral production. * The figures are compiled from the monthly disposition report and Crown royalty statement filed with the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources by the producer.

Prices for fine gold are the Canadian Mint buying prices. Prices for other metals are those of the markets indicated, converted into Canadian funds. The abbreviations are: Mont.=Montreal; N.Y.=New York; Lond.=London; E. St. L.=East St. Louis; and U.S.=United States. Prior to 1925 the prices for gold and copper are true average prices, but the prices of other metals were taken at the following percentages of the year's average price for the metal: Silver, 95 per cent; lead, 90 per cent; and zinc, 85 per cent.

The average is obtained by adding the monthly figures and dividing by 12, irrespective of the number of months worked. 2 Not available. 3 Estimated. Departmental Work ADMINISTRATION BRANCH The Administration Branch is responsible for the administration of the Provincial laws regarding the acquisition of rights to mineral and to coal, petroleum and natural gas, and deals with other departments of the Provincial service for the Department or for any branch. Amendments made to the Mineral Act in 1957 introduced a system of leasing of mineral rights with the object of abolishing the right of a mineral-claim holder to obtain a Crown-grant of his mineral rights. Further amendments were made in 1958 and 1959 to allow those persons who, at the time of the 1957 amendments, were proceeding through the necessary stages leading up to an application being made for a grant, to continue with the application provided all things necessary to the application were completed on or before December 31st, 1959. It is recorded here, therefore, that the right to acquire title to a mineral deposit by obtaining a Crown grant was extinguished on December 31st, 1959, by virtue of amendments to the Mineral Act first introduced in 1957 and amended further in the years 1958 and 1959. Gold Commissioners, Mining Recorders, and Sub-Mining Recorders, whose duties are laid down in the Mineral Act and the Placer-mining Act, administer these Acts and other Acts relating to mining. Mining Recorders, in addition to their own functions, may also exercise the powers conferred upon Gold Commissioners with regard to mineral claims within the mining division for which they have been appointed. Similar duties may be performed by Mining Recorders with regard to placer claims but not in respect of placer-mining leases. Recording of location and of work upon a mineral claim as required by the Mineral Act and upon a placer claim or a placer-mining lease as required by the Placer-mining Act must be made at the office of the Mining Recorder for the mining division in which the claim or lease is located. Information concerning claims and leases and concerning the ownership and standing of claims and leases in any mining division may be obtained from the Mining Recorder for the mining division in which the property is situated or from the Department's offices at Victoria, and Room 104, 739 West Hastings Street, Vancouver. Officials in the offices of the Gold Commissioner at Victoria and the Gold Commissioner at Vancouver act as Sub-mining Recorders for all mining divisions. Sub-Mining Recorders, who act as forwarding agents, are appointed at various places throughout the Province. They are authorized to accept documents and fees, and forward them to the office of the Mining Recorder for the correct mining division. Officials and their offices in various parts of the Province are listed in the table on page A 52. Central Records Offices (Victoria and Vancouver) The transcripts of all recordings made in Mining Recorders' offices throughout the Province are sent to the office of the Chief Gold Commissioner in Victoria twice each month, and include the names of lessees of reverted surveyed mineral claims. These records and maps showing the approximate positions of mineral claims held by record and of placer-mining leases may be consulted by the public during office hours at Victoria and at the office of the Gold Commissioner at Vancouver, Room 104, 739 West Hastings Street. The maps conform in geographical detail, size, and number to the reference and mineral reference maps issued by the Legal Surveys Branch of the Department of Lands and Forests, and the approximate positions A 51 A 52 REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1959 of mineral claims held by record and of placer-mining leases are plotted from details supplied by the locators. Provision has been made to supply the general public, on request to the office of the Chief Gold Commissioner, with copies of the maps. The charge for these maps is $ 1 plus 5 per cent tax for each sheet.

W. Metcalfe, Chief Analyst and Assayer Rock Samples During 1959 the chemical laboratory in Victoria issued reports on 1,688 samples from prospectors* and Departmental engineers. A laboratory examination of a prospector's sample generally consists of the following: (1) A spectrographic analysis to determine if any base metals are present in interesting percentages; (2) assays for precious metals and for base metals shown by the spectrographic analysis to be present in interesting percentages. The degree of radioactivity is measured on all samples submitted by prospectors and Departmental engineers; these radiometric assays are not listed in the table below. The laboratory reports were distributed in the following manner among prospectors who were not grantees, prospectors who were grantees under the Prospectors' Grub-stake Act, and Departmental engineers: Samples Spectrographic Analyses Assays 1,104 191 393 1,130 202 234 2,759 474 Departmental engineers 1,010 Totals 1,688 1,566 4,243 * A reasonable number of samples are assayed, without charge, for a prospector who makes application for free assays and who satisfies the Chief Analyst that prospecting is his principal occupation during the summer months. A form for use in applying for free assays may be obtained from the office of any Mining Recorder. A 56 REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1959 Spectrographic analyses, numbering 1,415, were conducted upon samples which had accumulated in the period between the destruction of the old spectrograph by fire in 1957 and the installation of the new instrument in 1958. Mineralogical specimens submitted for identification and rocks for classification are examined by the Mineralogical Branch of the Department. Petroleum and Natural-gas Samples Thirty-eight samples were received but only thirty-seven were examined. Of these, thirty-one were samples of formation water from wells being drilled for gas and oil in the Province; five were samples of material tested for oil seepage; and one was a sample consisting of pebbles coated with a black material suspected of being petroleum but found to be an oxide of manganese. Coal Samples Reports were issued on thirty-two samples of coal submitted for proximate analysis and calorific value. Of this number, twenty-seven were analysed for the Purchasing Commission, two for the Indian Commissioner for British Columbia, one for the Inspection Branch of the Department of Mines, and two for prospectors in the Province. Miscellaneous Samples Reports on fifty samples of a miscellaneous nature were issued. For the British Columbia Research Council, two samples of teredo shells were submitted to a semi-quantitative spectrographic analysis. For the Purchasing Commission, two plastic cups and two brands of galvanized steel wire were examined for flaws. For the Department of Agriculture (Field Crops Branch), four samples of hay were analysed for phosphorus, copper, manganese, and molybdenum; three samples of marl for calcium and magnesium oxides; and one sample of water for iron, calcium, and magnesium. Three samples of waste products from a pulp-mill were analysed for calcium and magnesium oxides, and one of them for sulphate, in addition. A semi-quantitative spectrographic analysis was conducted on a sample of calcareous material. For the Department of Highways, a white material obtained from a marine engine was spectrographed and found to be an oxide of aluminum. The white coating on a sample of pebbles was found to be mainly calcium carbonate, and the percentage of water-soluble salts in a sample of beach sand was determined. A sample of silt was submitted to a semi-quantitative analysis, and the free quartz in a sample of pebbles was determined. For the Department of Mines (Mineralogical Branch), one sample of water from a hot spring was analysed. For the Provincial Museum, a semi-quantitative spectrographic analysis was conducted upon an alluvium lick sample. For the Department of Lands and Forests (Forest Research), thirteen soil samples were spectrographed and analysed for sulphur. For the Public Works Department, a spectrographic analysis was performed on three samples of slate for comparison purposes. For the Municipality of Oak Bay, one sample of water was examined. For the Victoria and Esquimalt Health Department (Sanitation Division), six samples of water were examined. For Bralorne Pioneer Mines Limited, one sample of ore was spectrographed. DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 57 Research For the Department of Lands and Forests (Assistant Chief Forester), a marker was investigated and recommended for addition to tree blaze paints used by that Department. Examination for Assayers Provincial Government examinations for certificates of competency and licence to practise assaying in British Columbia were held at Trail in May and December. In May, nine candidates were examined; five passed, two were granted supple- mentals, and two failed. In December, nine candidates were examined; seven passed and two were granted supplementals.

Morgan, and the mine-rescue instructors for the district in which an examination is being held form the Board for granting certificates of competency to coal-miners. An Inspector is empowered to grant provisional certificates to coal-miners for a period not exceeding sixty days between regular examinations. MINERALOGICAL BRANCH Field work by officers of the Mineralogical Branch includes geological mapping and examination of mineral deposits, and studies related to ground-water and engineering geology. The results are published partly in the Annual Report of the Minister of Mines and partly in a series of bulletins. The Mineralogical Branch supplies information regarding mineral deposits and the mineral industry, in response to inquiries received in great number. The activities of the Branch also include identification of rock and mineral specimens submitted directly by prospectors and others, or through the Analytical Branch. Professional Staff On December 31st, 1959, the professional staff included the following engineers classified as geologists or mineral engineers: H. Sargent, Chief of the Mineralogical Branch; M. S. Hedley, S. S. Holland, J. W. McCammon, N. D. McKech- nie, G. E. P. Eastwood, J. T. Fyles, A. Sutherland Brown, J. M. Carr, W. G. Jeffery, W. C. Jones, A. F. Shepherd, and J. E. Hughes. W. G. Jeffery and W. C. Jones joined the staff at the beginning of the field season. Technical editing of the Annual Report of the Minister of Mines and of other publications was directed by M. S. Hedley. Copy for printing was prepared by and under the direction of the editor for English, Mrs. Rosalyn J. Moir. Messrs. Hedley and Holland assisted in directing and supervising field work. Most of the other members of the professional staff are assigned to mapping the geology of selected areas and of mineral deposits. Mr. McCammon is responsible for studies of industrial minerals and structural materials and Mr. Shepherd for records and library. Field Work A. Sutherland Brown, assisted by W. G. Jeffery, continued the geological mapping of Morseby Island in the Queen Charlotte Group. J. M. Carr continued mapping in the Highland Valley area and began mapping in the Craigmont-Promontory Hills area. G. E. P. Eastwood mapped the Lodestone Mountain stock in the Tulameen area. The mapping was mainly reconnaissance but included detailed studies of magnetite mineralization in selected areas. J. T. Fyles mapped the Mastodon mine and the Mineral King mine area. The Mineral King project was started in 1957 by the late C. G. Hewlett. S. S. Holland examined mines and prospects at Wells, in areas reached from the Alaska Highway, and at Owen Lake, Telkwa, Smithers, Pitman, Terrace, and Stewart. J. E. Hughes logged cores from wells drilled to test the proposed dam-site at Peace River Canyon, and made surface studies in that area, including studying the burned shales resulting from underground combustion of coal seams. W. C. Jones made ground-water studies in the Cowichan River and B.X. Creek (Vernon) areas, and studies in engineering geology related to mud-flows (Cheekye River), a slide at Drynoch, dam-sites on the Skeena River, Upper Fraser River, and Hansard Lake-Eaglet Lake, and water-supply in the North Okanagan area. DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 59 J. W. McCammon examined industrial-mineral deposits, including silica sand on Mount Moberly (Golden), magnesite on Perry Creek (Marysville), pyrophyllite on Granite Creek (Coalmont), diatomite in the Quesnel area, volcanic ash " poz- zolan" on Deadman Creek (north of Kamloops), " pozzolan" shale at Port Alberni, and limestone in the Kamloops and Nelson areas. N. D. McKechnie examined mines and prospects on Vancouver Island and the southwestern mainland, including Cowichan Lake, Nimpkish Lake, Mount Washington, Jordan River, Lang Bay, and Swakum Mountain, and collected specimens of ultrabasic rocks near Jessica, Kamloops, and Clinton for laboratory study. Aeromagnetic Mapping An area of about 500 square miles, including a considerable part of Moresby Island and most of Louise Island, was mapped by Canadian Aero Services Ltd. for the Department of Mines, using a light fixed-wing aircraft.

Rehwald joined the field staff as petroleum engineer on April 20th and M. A. Churchill as engineering assistant on October 9th. The Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch is responsible for the administration of the " Regulation Governing the Drilling of Wells and the Production and Conservation of Oil and Natural Gas " made pursuant to the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act, 1954. 1 Resigned in 1959. A 60 REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1959 The regulation provides for the use of efficient and safe practices in the drilling, completion, and abandonment of wells; for the orderly development of fields discovered within the Province; and for the conservation and prevention of waste of oil and natural gas within the reservoir and during production operations. Board of Arbitration Chairman: A. W. Hobbs, solicitor, Department of the Attorney-General. Members: R. R. McLeod, engineer, Department of Mines; S. G. Preston, agrolo- gist, Department of Agriculture. The Board of Arbitration, responsible to the Minister of Mines, held hearings in 1959 at Fort St. John and Pouce Coupe. Eight applications concerning right of entry came before the Board. Of these, seven were settled by award orders of the Board and one was pending at the end of the year. Conservation Committee Chairman, A. N. Lucie-Smith, engineer. Members: N. D. McKechnie, geologist; M. H. A. Glover, economist. Although no major problems were referred to the Committee by the Minister of Mines during 1959, it acted on several routine matters during the course of the year. GRUB-STAKING PROSPECTORS Under authority of the Prospectors' Grub-stake Act the Department of Mines has provided grub-stakes each year since 1943 to a limited number of applicants able to qualify. An amendment to the Act in 1958 authorized an increase in the maximum allowable grub-stake to $400, with an additional amount up to $300 for travelling expenses. To qualify at the present time the Department requires that the applicant shall be a physically fit male British subject, holder of a valid free miner's certificate, who has been resident in the Province during the year preceding his application for a grub-stake, or who has been honourably discharged from Her Majesty's services, who is between the ages of 18 and 70, and who can identify common rocks and minerals. It is required that in order to obtain the maximum grub-stake he agree to spend at least sixty days actually prospecting in the area of his choice in British Columbia considered favourably by officers of the Department of Mines. If he prospects a lesser time, the grant will be reduced proportionately. In the past, rebates have been recovered from grantees to whom payments have exceeded the proper amount for the time and effort devoted to prospecting. The grantee must not accept pay from any other source for services rendered during the period credited to the grub-stake. At the end of the season he shall provide the Department with a diary and maps outlining his activities while working under the grub-stake. Any discoveries made, staked, and recorded are exclusively his own property. Statistical information covering the grub-stake programme since its inception is given in the following table:— DEPARTMENTAL WORK Grub-stake Statistics a 61 Field Season Approximate Expenditure Men Grub-staked Samples and Specimens Received at Department Laboratory Mineral Claims Recorded 1943 1944 $18,500 27,215 27,310 35,200 36,230 35,975 31,175 26,800 19,385 19,083 17,850 19,989 21,169 20,270 22,000 24,850 21,575 90 105 84 95 91 92 98 78 63 50 41 48 47 47 46 47 38 773 606 448 419 469 443 567 226 255 251 201 336 288 163 174 287 195 87 135 1945 • .. 1946 181 162 1947 .. 1948 142 138 1949 103 1950 95 1951 137 1952 95 1953. 141 1954 123 1955 183 1956 1957 217 101 1958 211 1959.. 202 Samples and specimens received from grup-staked prospectors are spectrographed, assayed, and tested for radioactivity. Mineralogical identifications are made on request. Fifty-six applications were received in 1959, and to forty-one of the applicants grub-stakes were authorized. For various reasons three did not go out, and of the remaining thirty-eight grantees seven were unable to fulfil the terms and conditions of the grant and received only partial payment. Eleven prospectors were given grants for the first time, and four of these proved unsatisfactory. Prospecting was done in seventeen of the twenty-four mining divisions. Nine grantees used aircraft for transportation to their prospecting areas. D. H. Rae again gave able service in interviewing applicants and supervising grantees in the field. The following notes have been largely compiled from Mr. Rae's observations while in the field and from information provided in the diaries of the grantees. Atlin Mining Division.—Close to Tulsequah prospecting was carried on up Canyon Creek and in the Wilms Creek valley. Quartz veins carrying some pyrites and minor amounts of chalcopyrite were found cutting volcanics near a granite contact. Limestone containing minor amounts of sphalerite was encountered near Mount Strong. About 30 air miles east of Atlin the waterway from Eva Lake to the north end of Gladys Lake supplied canoe transportation for the establishment of a number of base camps from which the terrain for 6 miles east and west of the waterway was carefully prospected. Considerable heavy brush and overburden were encountered for some distance on either side of the waterway. Good prospecting ground was found at a higher elevation, although no important finds were reported. In Hirsch- feld Creek valley much overburden was reported, but some milky quartz stringers were found in rocks of the Cache Creek series. Near Mount Farnsworth some iron pyrite was found in limestone, along with minor amounts of copper carbonates, and at Mount Snowdon some rusty-coloured argillite and chert. Near Sheep Mountain rusty-coloured granite was found to contain finely disseminated molybdenite and small crystals of tourmaline. Along the Marble Dome Range some serpentinized peridotite was observed. Near Black Mountain, west of Gladys Lake, a silicified zone containing some chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite was prospected. A 62 REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1959 Some excellent work was done from a main base camp established at Nome Lake. The lake lies at the centre of an extensive area underlain by granite. Northeast of Nome Lake a wide oxidized zone containing much disseminated pyrite was given considerable attention. Values were low. Working toward the McNaughton basin, a granite-limestone contact was investigated and a wide zone containing much pyrrhotite and limonite was discovered. Work was done on the continuation of a heavily oxidized fault zone. Some prospecting was done in Redfish Creek valley. This area merits more prospecting. Cariboo Mining Division.—Ten miles west of McLeod Lake, on the Hart Highway, some inconclusive work was done. Some intensive prospecting was done at Tudyah Lake near the Hart Highway. Clinton Mining Division.—Some work was done in the area between McLean Lake and Upper Hat Creek. The area is mainly underlain by volcanic rocks and is not encouraging for prospecting. Kamloops Mining Division.—On Sicamous Creek, near Salmon Arm, along the Mara Lake road, and near Blind Bay some prospecting was done in a discouraging schist formation. Work was also done near White Lake, in the Wallensteen Lake area, at Blanc Creek, and on Charcoal Creek. Nothing of interest was reported. Some inconclusive work was also done near Pement Lake. Some excellent work was done from Eagle Lake northwesterly past the eastern section of the Jim Creek watershed, to Monticola Lake, to the northwest portion of Jim Creek, on past Shale Mountain, and on to Windy Mountain between Needa Lake and Taweel Lake. This generally northwesterly section was prospected across an east-west width of about 6 miles. Several exposed mineral outcrops were found, as well as some interesting float. More work will be done in parts of this area. The northwesterly end of this section extends into the Clinton mining division. Liard Mining Division.—An exploratory trip was taken in an easterly direction from the Wilms camp at Mile 60 on the Cassiar road, but the weather was very bad and little effective prospecting was possible. This area will receive further attention. Prospecting was continued in the area between the Toad and the Racing Rivers, and in the Dunedin River valley. Some small pipes of quartz containing chalcopyrite were investigated. Further prospecting was also done on both sides of the Alaska Highway between Mile 398 and Mile 415. Some interesting geology was mapped and considerable scattered barite and fluorite were reported, but nothing of commercial importance was found. At Sheep Mountain some highly altered limestone was found to contain galena, sphalerite, and pyrite, but sampling did not indicate commercial values. Close to the Major Hart River some scattered mineralization was exposed in schist and slate. In a serpentine-peridotite zone 7 miles west of Sheep Mountain some brittle fibre chrysotile was prospected. Further inconclusive work was done near Blackfox Mountain and on Juniper Mountain. Nanaimo Mining Division.—Some prospecting was done near the old O.K. property close to Nanoose Bay and at Leech River. Nothing of interest was reported. Nelson Mining Division.—Work was continued in the area close to the Bayonne mine on the west side of Kootenay Lake. Low-grade copper values associated with several shear zones were investigated. Some work was done near the headwaters of Goat River, but nothing of importance was reported. New Westminster Mining Division.—Some prospecting was done high up on the east side of Pitt Lake about 20 miles from the south end. Nothing important was reported. DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 63 Considerable work was done near the headwaters of Five Mile Creek, which flows into the Fraser from the west side a short distance from Yale. The valleys of Gordon and Urquhart Creeks were prospected, and traces of molybdenite and copper carbonate and fairly large amounts of pyrite were found in a wide dyke in coarse granite. Some work was done on Ladner Creek in the vicinity of the old Home Gold property. Nothing important was found. Nicola Mining Division.—A base camp was established close to Mamit Lake on the east side of Guichon Creek. This area is heavily covered with overburden, and shows very few outcrops. A systematic soil-testing programme was initiated, and the results thereof incorporated on a large-scale map. To date the results obtained are somewhat inconclusive, although some interesting information was obtained. Omineca Mining Division.—Manson Creek was used as a base camp for one party. Skeleton Gulch, the lower part of the Germansen River valley, and Plughat Creek received some attention. Between Kildare and Slate Creeks considerable prospecting was done in search of the source of mineralized float found in the vicinity. In the Wolverine Range some gold-bearing pyrite was found along a granite contact and some work was done around aplite dykes associated with a shear zone. The area close to Goat Mountain, Blackjack Mountain, and the valley associated with Mill Creek, Josephine Creek, and Discovery Creek also received some attention. Up Lost Creek a narrow quartz vein containing heavy sulphides was prospected. Some work was done in an area about 75 air miles northwest of Germansen Landing, but no information is at present available. Considerable work was done in the Nation Lakes area, both east and west of the Fort St. James-Manson Creek road. Scattered low-grade chalcopyrite was found 3 miles north of the west end of Chuchi Lake. Further work was done on the north side of Tchentlo Lake, 3 miles from the outlet, on low-grade copper showings. On Rottacker Creek, 6 miles east of Indata Lake, considerable work was done, and some near-commercial showings of copper were investigated and sampled. In the Chuchi Lake area, copper stain was observed along a porphyry- volcanic contact. On Klawdetelle Creek some malachite was found in quartz, and heavy pyrite mineralization was observed close to an anomaly mapped from an aerial survey. Near Milligan Lake heavy iron stain was found on altered intrusives. Rock outcrops here were mainly medium fine-grained intrusives, but a few quartz- carbonate-mariposite outcrops were also observed. Prospecting was continued in the area adjacent to the end of the northwest arm of Stuart Lake, and more narrow stringers carrying low values in manganese were uncovered. Quesnel Mining Division.—Some inconclusive work was done near Charlotte Lake. Eight miles west of Williams Lake a base camp was established close to the main Chilcotin road, and some prospecting was done south of the road. The area proved to be badly covered with overburden, and apparently mainly underlain by recent volcanics. Revelstoke Mining Division.—Near the mouth of Goldstream River considerable work was done on a large area underlain by fairly soft schist in which zones of pyrrhotite and pyrite parallel the schistosity. Sample values were low. Some quartz veins cutting across the schist carried medium to low values in gold, silver, and copper. A 64 REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1959 Some prospecting was carried on at the head of McCulloch Creek and on the south fork of La Forme Creek. From a camp at Mile 64 on the Big Bend Highway some prospecting was done on high ground on the east side of the river, and in the many east-west stream valleys on that side. Much of the area is covered with deep overburden and pyritized schist appears to underlie much of the terrain. Some limestone was reported, and some volcanic rocks showing traces of copper stain. Some work was done 15 miles west of Revelstoke on scattered showings of pyrite and chalcopyrite in quartz. Some work was done near Mount Begbie, and in the Albert Canyon area. Similkameen Mining Division.—A large area in the vicinity of Princeton was prospected during the past season. This included copper showings on Rabbitt Mountain and on the south slopes of Holmes Mountain. More work was done on the Friday Creek copper showings and on copper and molybdenite showings near Hayes Creek and near Jura station. The Missezula Lake and Dry Creek areas also received some attention. Some work was also done near Apex, Kathleen, and Pike Mountains, as well as on Copper Creek. Skeena Mining Division.—Some of the near-by islands and parts of the coastline in reach of Prince Rupert received considerable attention during the past season. Some interesting geological features were reported and several commercial- grade deposits were worked on. The area merits further attention. Southerly from Terrace some work was done near the north end of Lakelse Lake and in the mountainous country at the headwaters of Williams Creek. One small mineral deposit was reported. Some work was also done up two of the long creek valleys extending westerly from near the south end of Kitsumkallum Lake. No report is available on the results of this work. Near the Coast Range, west from Williams Lake, a base camp was established on Young Creek, about 20 miles west of Anahim Lake, and most of the area prospected around Young Creek, Green River extending northwesterly to the Rainbow Range of mountains, and embracing the area around Octopus Lake. Much overburden was encountered, and many outcroppings of volcanic rocks observed. It proved to be a poor area. Geological indications about 5 miles due west of Young Creek in what is known locally as Burned Bridge Creek valley are more promising and further work should be done in this area. Another base camp was established at Middle Lake, not far east from Bella Coola. Traces of chalcopyrite were found at a number of places in this area, but nothing of commercial importance was reported. Areas contiguous to lower reaches of Dean River, Takia River, Pyramid Peak, and Talcheazoone Lake were all prospected. Some interesting geological conditions and minor mineralization were reported. Slocan Mining Division.—Much prospecting was done on ground surrounding and between the old Millie Mack and Black Bear properties on Caribou Creek not far from Burton. The general geology in this area is good and some interesting mineral zones may be uncovered. Vancouver Mining Division.—On the coast near Sullivan Bay, and extending from the bay to Lee Lake, a small amount of prospecting was done. One quartz lead was reported on the south side of the lake, but no samples were taken. Vernon Mining Division.—Much of the high ground between Enderby and Lumby has been made more accessible by numerous logging-roads during the past few years. This area received some attention. Some inconclusive work was also DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 65 done in the Silver Hills east of Vernon, south of Bouleau, and at the headwaters of Whiteman Creek. MUSEUMS The Department has a large exhibit of mineral rock specimens in the Douglas Building, Victoria; collections are also displayed in the joint office in Vancouver and in the offices of the Inspectors of Mines in Nelson and Prince Rupert. Specimens from the collection in Victoria, accumulated in a period of more than sixty years, are displayed in cases on the fourth floor of the Douglas Building. The collection includes specimens from many of the mines and prospects in the Province, and also specimens of type rocks and special minerals from British Columbia and elsewhere. British Columbia material includes specimens collected by officers of the Department of Mines and specimens donated by property-owners. The collection also includes type specimens purchased from distributors. Other valued specimens or groups of specimens have been donated or loaned to the museum. ROCK AND MINERAL SPECIMENS Information regarding collections of specimens of rocks and minerals available to prospectors and schools in British Columbia may be obtained from the Chief of the Mineralogical Branch. PUBLICATIONS Annual Reports of the Minister of Mines, bulletins, and other publications of the Department, with prices charged for them, are listed in the Department of Mines List of Publications available from the Chief of the Mineralogical Branch. Publications may be obtained from the offices of the Department in Victoria and elsewhere in the Province. They are also available for reference use in the Department's library (Mineralogical Branch) at Victoria, in the joint office in Vancouver, and in the offices of the Inspectors of Mines in Nelson and Prince Rupert, as well as in public libraries. MAPS SHOWING MINERAL CLAIMS, PLACER CLAIMS, AND PLACER-MINING LEASES From the details supplied by the locators, the approximate positions of mineral claims held by record and of placer-mining leases are shown on maps that may be inspected in the central records offices of the Department of Mines in Victoria and in Vancouver. Copies of these maps may be obtained on request. The boundaries of surveyed claims and leases are shown on the reference maps and other maps of the British Columbia Department of Lands and Forests. JOINT OFFICES OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF MINES AND THE DEPARTMENT OF MINES AND TECHNICAL SURVEYS, CANADA. The Provincial Department's Inspector and Resident Engineer, the Gold Commissioner and Mining Recorder for the Vancouver Mining Division, and the officers of the Federal Geological Survey occupy one suite of offices. All official information relating to mining is now available to the public in the one suite of offices in Vancouver. The services offered to the public include technical information on mining, the identification of mineral specimens, distribution of Federal and Provincial mining publications, a reference library, a display of rocks and minerals, and a central records office. Topographic Mapping and Air Photography During 1959 the Surveys and Mapping Branch of the Department of Lands and Forests continued to expand the framework of maps and surveys which are necessary for the orderly development of the Province. Legal Surveys Division of the Surveys and Mapping Branch issued 597 sets of instructions to surveyors. Field assignments included seventeen subdivision surveys for the Lands Service in widely separated areas of. the Province. Two projects were for the re-establishment of 152 corner posts at Beaverdell and Coalmont. In conjunction with other surveys, another 185 corner posts of sections and district lots were replaced by standard bronze-capped monuments. Highway survey was undertaken in the vicinity of Cranbrook (12 miles), Peachland (6.1 miles), Canoe (13 miles), Savona (8.3 miles), Dougan Lake (3 miles), Hixon (22.5 miles), and Engen (5.9 miles). The latest " General Survey Instructions to British Columbia Land Surveyors " appeared in printed form in The British Columbia Gazette, Part II, Vol. 2, No. 20 (November 12th, 1959). Among certain modifications incorporated into the new instructions were several relating to surveys made under authority of the Mineral Act. Standard bar posts shall now be used in place of angle-iron posts. Clarification was given to land surveyors in the interpretation of a corner of a mineral claim where several location posts for adjoining claims lie in close proximity. Also, it is now possible for surveyors to include up to four mineral claims in one field book. Except for the northern one-third of the Province, Air Division's programme of l-inch-to-40-chain interim mapping was essentially completed in 1959, and the major effort is now concentrated on l-inch-to-20-chain photography. A total of 13,220 aerial photographs embracing 12,215 square miles were obtained for forest- inventory purposes, and an additional 1,379 lineal miles were photographed for other Branches of the Government. As the result of aerial operations, 15,123 photo negatives were filed in the Air Photo Library, bringing the total number of air photographs (Federal and Provincial) now on hand to 468,676. A new Wild A-7 precision autograph plotter acquired by Topographic Division will enable mapping to be " bridged " across the most rugged areas between existing networks of ground control. Field survey parties established mapping control for 17Vi Standard National Topographic map-sheets, the bulk of which extended from Clinton northeast into Wells Gray Provincial Park and the remainder west from Anahim Lake. Draughting was completed for 18 Topographic manuscripts at a scale of 2 inches to 1 mile. Geographic Division released seven new maps during 1959. Three variations of Map 1g (East Central British Columbia), at a scale of 1 inch to 10 miles, were produced. Maps of the National Topographic series, at l-inch-to-2-miles scale, included Victoria 92 B/NW & SW (parts of), Grand Forks 82 E/SE, and Trail 82 F/SW. Another National Topographic map which appeared in 1959 was Anahim Lake (92c) at 1:250,000 scale. Federal Government agencies at Ottawa produced thirty-one full-colour National Topographic sheets at 1:50,000 scale. The Army Survey Establishment continued to make its manuscript mapping available to the public in provisional form. During 1959, five provisional sheets at 1:250,000 scale and 41 sheets at 1:50,000 scale became available. The Federal Departments of Mines and Technical Surveys A 66 TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING AND AIR PHOTOGRAPHY A 67 and National Defence also completed field work for forty-one half-sheets of the National Topographic 1:50,000 series in this Province. Indexes of air-photo cover and of topographic, interim, and lithographed maps may be found in the 1959 Annual Report of the British Columbia Lands Service. Further information concerning Provincial and Federal mapping may be obtained from the Director, Surveys and Mapping Branch, Department of Lands and Forests, Victoria, B.C. Department of Mines and Technical Surveys The Canadian Government Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, created by an Act of Parliament introduced in November, 1949, took over most of the branches and functions related to mining of the former Department of Mines and Resources. The Mines Branch, Geological Survey of Canada, and Surveys and Mapping Branch are the three branches of the Department of the most direct interest to the mining industry. Brief reference to the work of the Surveys and Mapping Branch in British Columbia is made in the preceding note headed " Topographic Mapping and Air Photography." A note on the Geological Survey of Canada follows this paragraph and is followed by a note on the Mines Branch. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA By an arrangement made at the time the Province of British Columbia entered Confederation, geological investigations and mapping in the Province are carried on by the Geological Survey of Canada. Several geological parties are in the field each year. Many excellent reports and maps covering areas of British Columbia have been issued by the Geological Survey of Canada, and they have made available a great amount of information that has been of much benefit to the mining and prospecting activities in British Columbia. A branch office of the Geological Survey of Canada is maintained in Vancouver. Maps and reports on British Columbia can be obtained there. J. E. Armstrong is in charge of this office. Field Work by Geological Survey of Canada in British Columbia, 1959 H. H. Bostock continued, with a small party, the geological study and mapping of Squamish (92 G, W. Vi) map-area. R. B.

Price continued, from 1958, the geological investigation of Fernie East Half (82 G, E. Vi) map-area. J. E. Reesor continued, from 1958, his detailed studies within and adjacent to Burton (82F/13) and Passmore (82F/12) map-areas as part of his continuing research into the mode of emplacement, origin, and other features of granitic and associated rocks. J. G. Souther continued, from 1958, his geological investigation of Sumdum (104 F) andTulsequah (104 K) map-areas. D. F. Stott extended the study of Cretaceous rocks, begun in 1958, from Red Willow River to Bullmoose Creek. H. W. Tipper completed field work within Quesnel (93 B) map-area. J. O. Wheeler commenced the geological study and mapping of Illecillewaet (82N, W. Vi) map-area. Publications of the Geological Survey A total of twenty-four publications of the Geological Survey of Canada relating to British Columbia was received by the British Columbia Department of Mines in 1959. A list of the twenty-four publications will be supplied on request. MINES BRANCH The Mines Branch has branches dealing with mineral resources, mineral dressing and process metallurgy, physical metallurgy, radioactivity, and fuels and explosives. A total of twelve publications of the Mines Branch pertaining to British Columbia was received in 1959 by the British Columbia Department of Mines. A list of these publications will be supplied on request. They included tabular pamphlets dealing with coal mines, gold mines, stone quarries, petroleum refineries, and milling plants in Canada. MINERAL RESOURCES DIVISION The Mineral Resources Division, which was a division of the Mines Branch, has now been transferred from the Mines Branch to the office of the Deputy Minister of Mines and Technical Surveys. The Mineral Resources Division publishes studies on mineral resources, mineral economics, mineral legislation, mineral taxation, mining technology, and other miscellaneous mineral-industry subjects. A total of eight publications published by this Division was received by the library. A list of these publications will be supplied on request.
