ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MINISTER
OF MINES AND PETROLEUM
RESOURCES, 1960
Introduction
A Report of the Minister of Mines of the Province of British Columbia has been
published each year from 1874 to 1959. Beginning in 1960, it is the Report of the
Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources.
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 and Petroleum Resources 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
and Petroleum Resources 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.

Review of the Mineral Industry
The end of the calendar year 1960 marked the end of the 1951-60 decade
and the beginning of a new one. The past decade witnessed material changes in
the mineral industry of British Columbia in production, exploration, and methods.
Table I, page A 17, shows that the total value of mineral production to date is more
than $4,370,000,000, of which almost $1,370,000,000 is credited to the 1951-60
decade. The production of principal metals in the decade amounted to 37 per cent
of the accumulated value of the principal-metals group to the end of 1960; comparable percentages for the other groups of products are: other metals, 74; industrial minerals, 74; structural materials, 55; fuels, 17. These percentages reflect
in part the history of production and in part changing prices. The accumulated
value of coal was already substantial at the end of 1900; production continued at
a relatively high level during the early decades of this century, but has declined
markedly in the past decade. For the metals, gold, silver, copper, and lead, except
placer gold, production before 1900 represents a small part of the value to the end
of 1960, and for zinc production did not begin until 1905, and was small until
World War I. The value for the principal-metals group, in the last ten years, also
reflects the fact that the average prices for silver, copper, lead, and zinc have been
materially higher than for any earlier decade. The value for this group for the past
decade is $1,182,000,000, and the value from 1858 to the end of 1960 is $3,198,-
000,000. Production of the metals listed as " miscellaneous " has been mainly in
the last few decades, and for iron, nickel, and tungsten has been mainly or entirely
in the last decade. The position of the industrial-minerals group is similar; the
entire production of asbestos, amounting to 45 per cent of the accumulated value
for the group, has been in the last decade; sulphur production, although substantial
in the preceding periods, has increased greatly in the last decade. Production of
structural materials and the relative importance of the structural-materials group
increased substantially in the last decade to meet the needs of the expanding transportation system, and the needs of the building industry. In the period, cement-
making capacity increased greatly, and a plant to produce bloated shale for lightweight aggregate and pozzolanic additive came into production. For fuels, the
output and value of coal has declined, but the entire production of oil, natural gas,
and natural-gas liquid by-products belongs to the last decade, and mainly to the
latter half of the decade; consequently, the value for the fuels group has increased
substantially.
During the decade 1951-60 the output of gold declined; production of zinc
increased. Copper fell to a very low point in 1958 because of mine closures; however, with the reopening of Britannia and the revival of copper-mining in the
Boundary camp, much of the loss in copper output has been regained. Increasing
production in 1961 and 1962 because of the opening of new copper mines should
restore copper output to the level reached in the period 1925-30. Increased mining
of iron ore, recovery of by-product iron at Kimberley, high production of industrial
minerals and structural materials, and increasing production of petroleum and
natural gas hold promise of increasing mineral production in the decade that begins
with 1961.
Several aspects of the geographical distribution of mineral production in the
decade 1951-60 are worthy of note. They include the increasing importance of
the Liard Mining Division because of asbestos production at Cassiar and production

of natural gas and oil east of the Rocky Mountains. Asbestos production began
modestly in 1952 and continued to increase throughout the decade, reaching a value
of $11,700,000 in 1960 and more than $53,700,000 for the decade. Production
of natural gas for use in Fort St. lohn began in 1954, and reached substantial volume
in 1957, when completion of the Westcoast transmission-line gave access to a wide
market in British Columbia and western United States. Liquid by-products and
sulphur, derived from cleaning natural gas at Taylor, are credited first in 1958.
Oil production to date has been for local use. Oil, gas, and liquid by-products had
a combined value of more than $9,225,000 in 1960.
Production of silver, lead, zinc, and copper showed considerable changes in
geographic distribution. The principal source of silver, lead, and zinc continues
to be in southeastern British Columbia in the Fort Steele Mining Division, which,
in the decade 1951-60, yielded 61 per cent of the Provincial total value for that
group of metals. Important production began in the Nelson Mining Division at
the end of the preceding decade, and in the decade 1951-60 that division contributed more than a tenth of the Provincial output of the group. In the same period
the Slocan Mining Division contributed 9 per cent of the Provincial output of those
metals. The Slocan Mining Division now includes the former Ainsworth Mining
Division, and a large part of the output came from mines at Ainsworth and Riondel,
in the former Ainsworth Division. The Atlin, Skeena, Omineca, Vancouver, Revel-
stoke, Golden, and Greenwood Mining Divisions all contributed to silver-lead-zinc
production, although in the final years of the decade the Atlin, Skeena, Revelstoke,
and Omineca production had ceased or was small. In 1950 copper production
came largely from Vancouver and Similkameen Divisions (Britannia and Copper
Mountain mines); in 1960* Britannia contributed more than half the copper output; the Copper Mountain mine had been shut down since 1957, but five other
mines were in production, two of them (Texada and Giant Nickel mines) producing
copper as an important by-product. Thus copper production had become more
widely distributed. Gold, the remaining metal in the principal-metals group, had
shrunken materially in annual output, and in the number of mines operated primarily
to produce it.
Other changes in lode-metal production in the decade 1951-60 relate to iron,
nickel, and tungsten. Production of iron ore for transocean shipment began in
1951, and in 1960 more than 1,164,000 tons of iron concentrate was produced on
Vancouver and Texada Islands with a value of almost $10,300,000. More than
three-fourths of the tungsten output to date was produced in the period 1952-58,
mainly in the Nelson Mining Division and the remainder in Omineca; both operations were closed before the end of the decade. Commercial production of nickel
began in 1958, and had a value of $2,645,915 in 1960, coming entirely from the
Giant Nickel mine in the Hope area.
Some important changes in the industrial-minerals group have been mentioned
earlier. Further items of interest include cessation of gypsum production in the
Kamloops Mining Division and increased production of gypsum and of barite in
the Golden Mining Division.
Exploration for oil and gas has been carried on actively for more than a decade,
and has included work in many parts of the Province, but most of the work has
been in the northeastern part, and all of the production has come from that area.
The work has included geological and geophysical (mainly seismic) surveys, as
early steps, slim-hole drilling, and drilling of wells. In the decade, 628 wells, aggregating 3,511,429 feet, were drilled, yielding 104 wells rated as commercial oil wells
and 230 as commercial gas wells.
* See footnote, page A 12.
A 12 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1960
In the lode-mining segment of the industry, increasing use has been made of
geophysical surveys, and recently geochemical surveys have been used extensively.
Airborne magnetometer surveys were undertaken in several parts of the Province
in spite of the difficulties imposed by high relief and rugged terrain. Airborne
magnetometer surveys made for the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources
included considerable parts of the larger coastal islands—Vancouver, Texada, and
Moresby.
Geological mapping is used increasingly in the search for mineral deposits,
and, in addition to the large projects of the Provincial and Federal Government
departments, many projects are undertaken by companies. Projects undertaken by
companies in the Stewart and Princeton-Merritt areas are worthy of note because
of the substantial areas involved. Government mapping in the decade has included
detailed mapping in various areas by the British Columbia Department of Mines and
Petroleum Resources and less detailed work over very much larger areas by the
Federal Geological Survey. Aerial geological mapping, air photography, and topographic mapping have made great progress in the post-war period, and the areas
lacking first-stage mapping are rapidly being filled in. First-stage geological mapping is of very great use in indicating areas for mineral exploration and for more
detailed mapping. The next stage—detailed studies pointing more specifically to
areas worthy of intensive exploration—has been in progress for years, but is needed
for many areas and must be pursued vigorously if mineral exploration is to be carried
on efficiently at an adequate rate.
Exploration for lode deposits was directed toward the discovery of copper,
iron, silver-lead-zinc, gold, tungsten, molybdenum, asbestos, and fluorspar. Exploration for copper and iron were notably successful. In the southwestern Interior, in
an area long recognized as a potential source of copper, important reserves of ore
have been established, and at Merritt and Highland Valley two large mines are
nearing production, and in the belt trending northwesterly from Stewart potentialities
for important copper mines have been demonstrated, notably near the Leduc glacier,
on the Stikine River, and farther to the northwest. Iron exploration and discoveries
have been mainly on Vancouver, Texada, and Moresby Islands, and locally on the
Mainland coast, where prospects are best for ready shipments to an overseas market.
The importance of by-product iron, as oxide minerals and as iron sulphides occurring
with ores of other metals, is emphasized by the important magnetite and specular
hematite content of the Craigmont copper deposit, and by the preparation for production of pig iron from iron content of iron sulphide from the Sullivan mine, already
used as a source of sulphur in the manufacture of fertilizer.
Tables I, II, and III make it apparent that 1960 was a very good year in the
mineral-production history of British Columbia. Improved prices for silver, copper,
and especially for zinc, increased output of zinc, and substantially increased output
of copper* and lead brought the combined value of gold, silver, copper, lead, and
zinc to $112,800,000, a level substantially higher than in 1958 or 1959. Other
metals contributed $17,700,000 to the 1960 total, the greatest for any year to date;
iron and nickel contributed most of this increase. Industrial minerals also made
a new record with a value of almost $16,000,000; asbestos contributed more than
$11,700,000, and sulphur contributed more than $3,000,000 to the total. Structural materials contributed $18,800,000, well above the average for the decade
but somewhat below the values for 1956 to 1959. Fuels reached a new high in
1960, amounting to $14,500,000. The value for coal was the lowest in many
years, natural gas surpassed coal for the first time, and the sum of oil, natural gas,
* Copper credited to 1960 includes some carry-over from 1959 of concentrates stockpiled during the period
that the Tacoma smelter was affected by a strike.

and natural-gas liquid by-products exceeded $9,200,000. The combined value for
all products is just short of $180,000,000 and has been exceeded only in the
year 1956.
The number of lode-mineral claims recorded in 1960 was 11,748, 1,707 less
than in 1959; the number of certificates of work issued was 13,157, 661 less than
in 1959.
Revenue to the Government, from petroleum and natural gas, amounted to
$14,116,470, including rentals, fees, and miscellaneous, $6,722,526; tender bonus,
$6,186,627; and royalties, $1,207,317. Land held for petroleum and natural gas,
under permits, leases, licences, and drilling reservations, amounted to 39,175,125
acres.
The average number employed through 1960 in placer, lode, coal, industrial-
mineral, and structural-material mining was 11,541. Major expenditures by those
branches of the industry included: salaries and wages, $50,739,204; fuel and
electricity, $7,834,728; process supplies (inclusive of explosives, chemicals, drill-
steel, lubricants, etc.), $21,496,912; Federal taxes, $11,219,585; Provincial taxes,
$2,674,997; municipal and other taxes, $2,096,872; levies for workmen's compensation (including silicosis), unemployment insurance, and other items, $2,460,054.
Dividends amounted to $20,595,943. The lode-mining industry spent $29,505,158
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 $4,039,170 for work done by
contract.
Information supplied by the Canadian Petroleum Association indicates that,
exclusive of expenditures for land acquisition and rentals ($12,910,000), natural-
gas plants ($79,000), and pipe-line construction ($271,000), the petroleum and
natural-gas industry spent $43,728,000 in British Columbia. The number directly
employed by forty-six operating and development companies at December 31st was
617. The $43,728,000 expenditure is broken down into: exploration, $33,956,000;
development drilling, $4,422,000; capital expenditures, field equipment, secondary
recovery, pressure-maintenance projects, etc., $2,008,000; operation of wells, flow-
lines, etc., $1,034,000; taxes, royalties, and other expenses, $2,308,000.
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).*
* 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 14 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1960
In the current Report, Tables I and II have new forms, Table VIII has been
amalgamated with Table VII, and subsequent tables have been renumbered.
From time to time, revisions have been made to earlier figures as additional
data became available or errors came to light.
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.
Weights are avoirdupois pounds and tons (2,000 lb.) and troy ounces.
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 16).
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.
Other metals, including by-product metals refined in British Columbia and
iron, tin, and tungsten exported as ores and concentrates, are treated similarly,
except that quantities and values for several are as reported by shippers for sales
in the year.
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 16.
* 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 15
Fuel
Coal
All coal produced, including that used in making coke, is shown as primary
mine production (1959, tables renumbered in 1960). 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. 218).
Natural Gas
Commerial production of natural gas began in 1954. The production* shown
in Tables I, III, and VIIa is the total dry and residue gas sold; that is, the quantity
delivered to the main transmission-line. The quantity is net after deducting gas
used on leases, metering difference, and gas used or lost in the cleaning plant. The
gross well output is shown in Table 7, page 185. 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, and
VIIa. The quantity is "net sales" (see Table 9, p. 189), reported in barrels (35
imperial gallons=1 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.

1 Unrefined placer gold, average price per ounce, is taken as $17 divided by $20.67 times the price of an
ounce of fine gold.
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.

1 Figures for the petroleum and natural-gas industry are based on returns made on Dominion Bureau of
Statistics forms by twenty-eight operators out of fifty-three listings. The sum of the expenditures by those operators for salaries and wages, fuel and electricity, and process supplies amounts to $4,142,624. The Canadian
Petroleum Association supplied figures1 indicating total expenditures by the petroleum and natural-gas industry in
British Columbia in 1960, amounting to $56,988,000. Of this sum, approximately $3,960,000 is indicated as for
salaries and wages; no figures are given for fuel and electricity or process supplies. The total expenditure includes
large items for geological and geophysical exploration, drilling, pipe-lines, construction, and capital expenditures,
presumably done mainly by contractors and therefore not reflected in the figure $4,142,624 derived from individual returns. It should be noted that the $56,988,000 includes some $13,260,000 for land acquisition and
rentals, natural-gas plants, and pipe-line construction. Comparable expenditures by other branches of the
mineral industry are not shown in the above tabulation. See last paragraph of review, page A 13.
Note.—" Process Supplies " include explosives, chemicals, drill-steel, lubricants, etc.

1 Includes ores of iron, mercury, nickel, tungsten, and silica (flux).
2 Data not collected before 1937.
3 Previous to 1937 the shipper reported " Net Value at Shipping Point," no indication being given as to how
the net value was computed. From 1937 on, the shipper has reported " Gross Value," from which deduction of
freight and treatment gives " Net Value."
4 Gross value calculated by valuing gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, mercury (1938-44, 1955), and nickel
(1936-37, 1958-60) at yearly average prices, and iron (1901-03, 1907, 1918-23, 1928, 1948-60) and tungsten
(1939-45, 1947-58) at values given by operators.

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.
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 101, 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 58.
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
101, 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
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.

MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1960
ANALYTICAL AND ASSAY BRANCH
By S. W. Metcalfe, Chief Analyst and Assayer
Rock Samples
During 1960 the chemical laboratory in Victoria issued reports on 1,842
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 submitted to the laboratory for identification are examined by the
Mineralogical Branch of the Department. During the year such samples numbered 108.
Petroleum and Natural-gas Samples
Reports were issued on 120 samples. Of this number, 111 were samples of
formation water from wells being drilled for gas and oil in the Province; five were
samples tested for oil; three were samples tested for natural gas; and one was a
sample of animal excrement. One hundred and forty-one spectrographic analyses
were reported on samples in this category.
Coal Samples
Reports were issued on sixty-three samples of coal submitted for proximate
analysis and calorific value. Of this number, sixty-two were analysed for the Purchasing Commission and one for a prospector in the Province.
Miscellaneous Samples
Reports were issued on sixty-six samples of a miscellaneous nature.
For the British Columbia Research Council, spectrographic analyses were
performed on nine samples.
For the Purchasing Commission, two spoons were compared for resistance to
corrosion in common food materials.
For the Department of Agriculture, analyses were performed on two marls,
two waters, and one sewage sludge. In addition, fluorine was determined in one
sample of hay and in one chemical fertilizer.
*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.
DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 63
For the Department of Highways (Materials Testing Branch), four waters
were analysed, and a scale from a highway tunnel was subjected to a spectrographic
analysis as well as an X-ray powder diffraction analysis.
For the Department of Lands and Forests (Forest Research), spectrographic
and chemical analyses were performed on twelve rock samples; ninety-six chemical
analyses were performed.
For the Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch of the Department, spectrographic
analyses were performed on a clay and an alloy.
For the Provincial Museum, a spectrographic analysis was performed on a
Polyporus tuberaster. A metallic disk thought to be an old coin was subjected to
an X-ray fluorescence analysis.
For the Queen's Printer, three type metals were spectrographed.
For British Columbia Hydro, a filter-clogging sediment was identified and a
method for its removal suggested.
For Cassiar Asbestos Corporation Limited, a spectrographic analysis was
performed on a coal ash.
For Bralorne Pioneer Mines Limited, spectrographic analyses were conducted
on four rock samples.
Eighteen samples of water were examined, of which thirteen were for the
Victoria and Esquimalt Health Department, three were for Oak Bay Municipality,
and two were for citizens of the Province.
X-ray Powder Diffraction Analyses
Seventy analyses of this type were performed for identification purposes.
Examination for Assayers
A Provincial Government examination for certificates of competency and
licence to practise assaying in British Columbia was held at Trail in December.
The five candidates who were examined were successful in passing the examination.

DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 65
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 continued the geological mapping of the Queen Charlotte
Islands. Mapping was done in parts of Graham and Moresby Islands accessible
by road, and parts of Moresby Island reached from lakes to which the party was
transported by aircraft.
J. M. Carr continued detailed geological studies in the Guichon batholith in
the Highland Valley area, and of the Promontory Hills area and the Craigmont
mine near Merritt.
G. E. P. Eastwood mapped an area on Lawless Creek and Tulameen River.
J. T. Fyles, assisted by Dr. Paul Clifford, began a detailed study of the geology
of an area including the west side of Kootenay Lake from Coffee Creek north and
the area north of Kootenay Lake including Duncan Lake.
S. S. Holland examined properties in Bridge River, Tweedsmuir Park, Cariboo-
Wells, Telkwa-Hazelton, Terrace, Portland Canal, and Cariboo-Likely areas.
J. E. Hughes made a geological study of the Bullhead rock sequence in the
Peace River Canyon area, and on the Pine River near Mount Bickford.
W. G. Jeffery began geological mapping of an area that includes the Empire
iron mine and the Coast Copper property on northern Vancouver Island.
W. C. Jones spent the season examining and mapping sites for proposed dams
on the Fraser, Clearwater, North Thompson, McGregor, and Stuart Rivers, and
preliminary study of several sites on the Liard River.
J. W. McCammon examined and mapped industrial-mineral deposits in several
parts of the Province, and examined and looked for limestone deposits in the Shu-
swap Lake-Okanagan Lake area and Rock Creek-Grand Forks area. Other deposits examined included gypsum in the East Kootenay, with special attention to
the Lussier River area, a deposit of gypsum in the northwestern part of the Province
near Rainy Hollow, deposits of barite and fluorite near Summit Lake and Liard
Hotsprings on the Alaska Highway, and asbestos at Cassiar and King Mountain.
N. D. McKechnie examined and mapped lode-mineral properties in the southern Interior, including Hedley, Greenwood, Phoenix, and on Vancouver and Texada
Islands.
PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS BRANCH
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. 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 conservation and the prevention
of waste of oil and natural gas within the reservoir and during production operations.
Investigations are made of complaints of property damage resulting from
geophysical and test-hole drilling programmes. The " Geophysical Regulations "
are administered by the Chief Petroleum and Natural Gas Commissioner.

DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 67
Although no major problems were referred to the Committee by the Minister
of Mines and Petroleum Resources during 1960, 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 has provided grub-stakes each year since 1943 to a limited number of applicants able to
qualify. The normal maximum grub-stake is $300, with an additional amount up
to $200 for travelling expenses. A limited number of experienced prospectors of
proven ability may be granted top priority grub-stakes of as much as $400, plus a
maximum of $300 for travelling expenses, where prospecting is to be done in
approved areas where air transportation is necessary.
To qualify at the present time, the Department requires that the applicant shall
be a bona fide prospector holding a free miner's certificate. He must be a British
subject, between the ages of 18 and 70 years, and must have resided in British
Columbia during the year preceding the date of application. He must be able to
identify common rocks and minerals. The grub-staked prospector is provided
with maps, a current list of prices of metals and ores, and the latest Departmental
information circulars on prospecting and related matters.
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. If he prospects a
lesser time, the grant will be reduced proportionately. The grant is usually made
in two payments: the first at the beginning of the season and the second after he
has completed sixty days in the field and has submitted a diary. 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. A field engineer is employed
who contacts as many prospectors as he is able during the field season and gives
advice and direction to those who need it. Grantees are permitted a reasonable
number of free assays.
The grub-stakes are granted with the object of maintaining the search for
mineral occurrences with mine-making possibilities. Any discoveries made, staked,
and recorded are exclusively the grantee's own property. The grants are not
intended for the purpose of exploring and developing occurrences already found,
but one year is allowed to prospect ground that has been staked by a grantee while
on a grub-stake. The grantee must not accept pay from other sources for services
rendered during the period credited to the grub-stake.
It is recognized that competent and experienced prospectors are capable of
looking after themselves in wilderness areas. Nevertheless, experience has shown
that less hazard may result when prospecting is done by two or three men in a team.
A man working alone may be injured or be taken seriously ill and, if alone, he may
have to endure extreme hardship and pain.
Grub-stake grantees are not working for the Government but are self-employed
and are not covered under the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act.
Therefore, it is recommended that prospectors make their own arrangements concerning insurance coverage in order to take adequate care of medical and other
expenditures which may be incurred in the event of an accident.
Statistical information covering the grub-stake programme since its inception
is given in the following table:—

Samples and specimens received from grub-staked prospectors are spectro-
graphed, assayed, and tested for radioactivity. Mineralogical identifications are
made on request.
Seventy-seven applications were received in 1960, and fifty-two grub-stakes
were authorized. Two of the grantees were unable to go out, and they returned
their initial payments. Seven other grantees were unable to complete the terms and
conditions of the grant and received only partial payment. Thirty-one prospectors
were given grants for the first time, and five proved unsatisfactory. Five grantees
used aircraft for transportation to their prospecting areas. Five grantees were
affected by injury or sudden illness, but in each instance they were accompanied by
a partner who was able to take care of them.
D. H. Rae again gave able service in interviewing applicants and supervising
grantees in the field. He was able to contact forty-one grantees in the field, of whom
eighteen were contacted at the actual scene of prospecting. 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.
Alberni Mining Division.—At Muchalat Inlet large outcrops of limestone were
investigated. Considerable black sand was panned from Ucona River. Some old
mine workings in the Gold River area were examined, and copper-bearing float was
found nearby.
Atlin Mining Division.—Southeast of the junction of King Salmon Creek and
Taku River, in the King Salmon Mountain area, a considerable amount of prospecting was done. Mineralized quartz stringers were observed cutting altered sedimentary rocks. On the northwest slope of the mountain, granitic sills, sparsely mineralized with pyrite, azurite, and malachite, were noted. A quartz vein showing erratic
mineralization of pyrite, azurite, and malachite was traced for 1,300 feet—the
widest section was 40 inches and values were subcommercial. Along the Sittakanay
River, argillite containing pyrite produced unimportant gossan zones.
Southeast of Atlin Lake the O'Donnel River valley was prospected toward
Taysen Lake. During the course of this work some short-fibre asbestos occurrences
were investigated. Prospecting was done in the Silver Salmon valley to the Nakina
River, in the Katina Creek area, and near Mount O'Keefe. Disseminated native
copper was observed on Copper Island in Atlin Lake, and much rusty stain was

observed in Llewellyn and Sloko Inlets on Atlin Lake. Volcanic Creek valley to
the north end of Gladys Lake, Davenport Creek, and Windy Camp Creek received
some attention. Many barren quartz veins were observed cutting limestone and
argillite.
Cariboo Mining Division.—Inconclusive work was done in the vicinity of
George Creek, McLeod River, McDougall River, and Carp Lake. At Purden Lake
a large deposit of bentonite was discovered. On Sugarbowl Mountain, chalcopyrite
float was found. Nothing of importance was noted in either the Bowron River area
nor near Aleza Lake. A quartz vein 7 feet wide in a shear zone was noted near
Kelley Lake. At an unnamed lake 90 air miles northeast of Prince George an
attempt was made to find continuity in a mineral zone in limestone, unsuccessfully,
although large masses of chalcopyrite in unaltered limestone were exposed on the
surface in one location. Barren quartz veins were observed in limestone to the
northeast and to the east of the lake. Canyons on the Murray River were prospected
from south of Monkman Pass nearly to the Fraser River.
Skin-diving technique was used in prospecting certain deep sections of Canyon
Creek, Kixon Creek, Cottonwood River, and Horsefly River. Some prospecting
was done north of Cottonwood River at the P.G.E. bridge.
Some work was done on the east side of the highway between Dragon Mountain and Soda Creek. Along Melinda Creek dark serpentine containing narrow
stringers of asbestos fibre was seen. Three miles south of the forks on the Quesnel
River a long ridge of volcanic rocks was seen to contain some iron sulphides showing
a little copper stain. Near Horsefly volcanic rocks containing minor amounts of
native copper were prospected thoroughly; this appears to be of economic interest.
Clinton Mining Division.—Ten miles north of Cache Creek short-fibre asbestos
in serpentine was investigated. No commerical amount was found.
Kamloops Mining Division.—From a base camp established on Hobson Lake
a thorough job of prospecting both shoreline and adjacent creek valleys was carried
out. Fine gold in gravel was found close to Summit Lake, and scattered galena in
narrow quartz stringers. Between Hobson Creek and Clearwater River several
large but barren quartz veins were found. Granite dykes cutting limestone were
also prospected, as well as a wide quartz vein sparsely mineralized with galena and
pyrite. On Clearwater Lake granite tongues cutting schist and a few narrow pegmatite dykes were investigated.
Eleven miles southeast of Vavenby a wide quartz vein sparsely mineralized
with galena was prospected. Close to the railway a few miles north of Clearwater,
silver-bearing mineralized zones were investigated and sampled. Further work
will be done here. In the Raft River area minor amounts of copper and molybdenum were found associated with narrow pegmatite dykes. Near Avola a mineralized zone containing small amounts of zinc was prospected. Some work was
done on the southwest side of Adams Lake. Some galena float was found in Louis
Creek 7 miles east of the main highway.
Iron-stained granite bluffs near La Jeune Lake were investigated, but nothing
of interest was found. West of Stump Lake, along Moore and Frogmore Creeks,
considerable work was done on a quartz vein in monzonite showing considerable
disseminated molybdenite.
Liard Mining Division.—Further work was done in the Tootsee Lake area
close to the Silver Tip discovery, but nothing of importance was reported. North
of Dease Lake, in the vicinity of Table Mountain and in the valleys of Pooley Creek,
Quartzrock Creek, and Troutline Creek and on Needlepoint Mountain some prospecting was done. Narrow quartz veins showing some copper stain, short-fibre
A 70 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1960
asbestos in serpentine, several small gossan areas, and some barren-looking skarn
were reported.
Considerable work was done east and southeast of McDame Lake. East of
Mount McDame, outcrops of schist and limestone were prospected. In the Turn-
again valley a small amount of short-fibre asbestos was investigated. Slate and
serpentine were reported between Wheaton Creek and Mount Shea. In the Alice
Shea Creek valley large bodies of serpentine were prospected, and between Ferry
Creek and Greenrock Creek disseminated chromite was found in serpentine. A large
area of decomposed quartz was uncovered. Prospecting was done in the Kehlechoa
River valley, south of King Mountain, along Wheaton Creek, and in the Tanzilla
River valley. At Mile 10 on the Stikine River, molybdenite and chalcopyrite float
were found. Some prospecting was also done along the Tahltan River, on Beatty
Creek, on Gnat Creek, and through a 10-mile-wide stretch of country up to 10
miles east of Dease Lake, some interesting float was found, but nothing of importance in place.
A large area 35 miles up the Racing River from the Alaska Highway received
considerable attention. Nothing of importance was found, although some new
occurrences of chalcopyrite and bornite in narrow quartz veins were reported.
Lillooet Mining Division.—On Stirrup Creek high-grade gold-bearing quartz
float was found. Northwest of Lillooet, near Mount McLean, serpentine outcrops
were prospected.
Nelson Mining Division.—In the Hazel Creek valley, near Kitchener, a considerable amount of work was done; a vein 10 to 15 feet wide and 1,000 feet long
containing much specularite was prospected. A 5-foot-wide quartz vein on a
diorite-quartzite contact was investigated, but no commercial values were obtained.
Prospecting was done on Englishman Creek, Young Creek, Kid Creek, and Little
Moyie River. Work was done in the area extending back 10 or 12 miles on the
west side of Kootenay Lake. The batholithic contact on Irvine and Procter Creeks
received some attention. Two miles west of the old Bayonne mine a quartz vein
in granodiorite was prospected. In the valleys of Blazed and Bluebird Creeks pyri-
tized limestone is cut by numerous barren quartz veins.
New Westminster Mining Division.—-The old road from Aurum Siding to the
Home Gold property was made passable for foot travel, and some prospecting was
done in that vicinity. The headwaters of Ladner Creek, Siwash Creek, Fifteen Mile
Creek, and Cedarflat Creek received some attention, but nothing of interest was
reported. A small area above the old Emancipation mine workings was looked at,
and work was done easterly on Sowaqua Creek. Some traces of molybdenite were
found in rock cuts on the pipe-line. The serpentine belt, extending easterly from
Jessica, received some attention, and the area adjacent to the Kettle Valley Railway
from Mile 29 to Mile 38.5 was investigated. Some heavily oxidized and rusty slate
was reported. Some work was done at Hope Mountain and in the vicinity of Haig.
Some skin diving was done in the Fraser River from Hope to Yale and to
Alexandra Bridge, in Siwash Creek opposite Yale, and in the Coquihalla River near
Jessica.
Nicola Mining Division.—Some prospecting was done in the area adjacent to
the Guichon mine.
Omineca Mining Division.—Considerable work was done in the Nation Lakes
area in an unsuccessful attempt to find extensions of copper showings uncovered in
1959. Ground in reach of Tchentlo Lake, Kwanika Creek valley, and the west
end of Tsayta Lake was investigated. A contact on Albert Lake proved disappointing, and a quartz vein on Kwanika Creek carried no values.
DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 71
A good deal of work was done in the area contiguous to Germansen Lake,
Twenty Mile Creek, and Manson Creek. On the west side of Boulder Creek the
Manson fault showed some scattered sulphide mineralization. Quartz veins showing some sulphides were encountered. On Slate Creek a greenish-coloured basic
rock gave low assays in nickel. At the headwaters of Lost Creek low assays in
tungsten were obtained from dark material along a granite contact. On the north
slope of Blackjack Mountain a limy band of carbonaceous material contained quartz
stringers and small amounts of zinc, a quartz vein showed scattered bands of pyrite,
and banding in a major fault zone contained low values in nickel. A faulted mineralized zone was found on Blackjack Mountain. On the east fork of Kwanika
Creek minor amounts of molybdenite were found along a granite-argillite contact.
At Wasi Lake stringers of barite were observed in sheared volcanics. Some work
was done at the junction of Wasi Creek and Osilinka River, near Wolverine Lake,
alon? Lost Creek, on the north slope of Blackjack Mountain, and at the lower end
of Mosquito Creek. Near the east end of Germansen Lake metamorphosed arrillite
containing considerable mixed sulphides was prospected. On the west fork of
Klawli Creek some visible molybdenite and powellite were observed in several outcrops. West of Nina Creek sheared volcanics and a strong quartz vein in sheared
andesite were noted, also a mineralized carbonate zone containing minor chalcopyrite and a quartz vein carrying small amounts of free gold. On the north side
of the Osilinka River, 12 miles above the bridge, granite was observed containing
aplite and basic dykes showing minor amounts of magnetite and pods of chalcopyrite. On Wolverine Creek chalcopyrite in quartz was seen, and in the lower part
of Kildare Gulch a quartz vein containing considerable zinc. One important discovery, a wide mineral zone showing fair to good values in silver, was made west
of the centre of Germansen Lake, more will be heard of this in 1961. The Gaffney
Creek valley received some attention.
At a small lake northeast of Takla Landing oxidized zones in limestone were
examined. Work was done in the Slug Lake area and in the valleys of Sowchea
Creek and Sutherland River. Some inconclusive work was done in the Seven
Sisters area near Hazelton and at Wolf Creek and south of the Nation River. South
of Eutsuk Lake red-stained volcanics were found to contain some pyrite and chalcopyrite.
Osoyoos Mining Division.—In the Richter Pass area low values in copper were
found in pyritized and iron-stained areas in schist and volcanics. Close to Mount
Kobau a copper-stained gossan area was examined; no commercial values were
obtained in any of the samples taken. Quartz veins were prospected near Blue
Lake, and in the vicinity of Tinhorn and Togo Creeks; nothing of interest was
reported. On Dividend Mountain a minor occurrence of scheelite was found.
Some work was done at Lome Lake in the Apex Mountain area, and at Ellis Creek.
Revelstoke Mining Division.—Considerable work was done in the Martha
Creek area, and near McCulloch Creek some quartz veins and narrow pegmatite
dykes were prospected. At Albert Canyon narrow veins of galena and chalcopyrite
were prospected along an argillite-limestone contact. Nothing commercial was
reported, although the area merits further work. Near Three Valley Lake some
small pegmatite dykes and narrow quartz veins containing minor amounts of chalcopyrite and pyrite were prospected. The west side of the Columbia River between
Death and Priest Rapids was checked. A deposit of kyanite was investigated.
Similkameen Mining Division.—Considerable work was done at Sunday Creek,
on copper showings on Rabbitt Mountain, and on a well-mineralized shear zone in
the same area. On Granite Creek a sulphide zone was investigated. On the north
A 72 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1960
side of Mount Kathleen traces of molybdenite were prospected, and on the south
side of Dillard Creek, in the Missezula Mountain area, some claims were staked.
Some copper sulphides were found at Olivine Mountain and in the Lawless
Creek valley. Work was also done on Boulder Creek, Mount Spearing, Otter Creek,
Grasshopper Mountain, west of Eagle Creek, Granite Creek valley, around Aspen
Grove, and on Friday Mountain. Nothing of commercial importance was discovered. The Thynne Creek valley received some attention, and one 5-foot-wide
quartz vein carrying minor amounts of galena was uncovered.
Skeena Mining Division.—On Brown Island (near Jap Inlet) unimportant
mineralization was noted, and a few fairly good assays in zinc were obtained. At
Hunt Inlet some magnetite was found; at Limestone Bay (on Banks Island) some
minor amounts of copper and molybdenite were observed. On Pitt Island minor
amounts of magnetite were observed.
In Kitkatla Inlet (Porcher Island) some molybdenite was found in small quartz
veins. At Lime Creek (Alice Arm) some silicified. pyritized zones were examined.
Some work was also done near Stewart, at Glacier and Gracey Creeks. A high-
grade copper-silver-gold zone was encountered at Ealue Lake.
Work was done at many places, including Kwinamass River, Mylor Peninsula,
Chambers Creek, Stuart Anchorage, Pitt Island, Khutzemateen River, Alder Creek,
Nasoga Gulf, Finlayson Island, Somerville Island, and Gibson Island. On Kennedy
Island some pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite were observed in an interesting area.
West of Anahim Lake, at Kahylskt Creek (Burnt Bridge River), an interesting
copper showing was found, and more work will be done on it at a later date. Much
of the granite in the surrounding area shows appreciable copper stain.
Slocan Mining Division.—In the Lardeau area, float containing gold in quartz
was found in both Poplar and Tenderfoot Creeks. At the headwaters of Canyon
Creek a deposit showing native silver, galena, and tetrahedrite was investigated.
On Mobbs Creek galena float was picked up.
Vancouver Mining Division.—Prospecting was done in Thompson Sound, Fitz
Hugh Sound, Lagoon Bay, Knight Inlet, Glendale Cove, and Viner Sound, and on
Midsummer Island and Fire Island.
Vernon Mining Division.—Some work was done in Whiteman Creek valley
and in the vicinity of Bouleau Creek, Monashee Creek, Mclntyre Creek, upper
Kettle River, and Keefer Lake. Some float was found, but nothing of importance
was found in place.
MINING ROADS AND TRAILS
Provision is made in the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources Act
whereby the Minister may, with the approval of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council,
authorize the expenditure of public funds for the construction or repair of roads and
trails into mining areas. Assistance on a half-cost basis may also be provided on
roads and trails to individual properties.
Requests for road and trail assistance must be made to the Department before
the commencement of work. The type of access upon which assistance may be
given depends upon the value of the property, the stage of development, and the
amount of work to be done. A trail is sometimes sufficient for initial exploration,
and a tractor-road may be adequate for preliminary work. Subsequent development might warrant assistance on the construction of a truck-road. A carefully
drawn sketch or plan of the location of the road is required to be submitted and,
where warranted by the amount of assistance requested, a report on the property by
a professional geological or mining engineer may be required. An engineer from
the Department may be required to report on the property before a grant is made
and to inspect the road after the work has been done.
DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 73
Total mileages and disbursements under " Grants in Aid of Mining Roads and
Trails " during the fiscal year ended March 31st, 1961, were as follows:—
Mining-roads Miles Cost
Construction 72 $94,804.16
Maintenance 131 32,617.08
Photo interpretation and terrain analysis 94 3,622.50
Bridge-site survey 4,643.43
Total $135,687.17
In addition to the above, work was continued on the Cassiar-Stewart road.
This road is being constructed under the " Roads to Resources " agreement between
Canada and British Columbia. The construction is being supervised by the Department of Highways on behalf of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources.
At the north end of the road, construction of the 30.5-mile section from Sawmill
Point on Dease Lake to Tanzilla River was completed. The Tanzilla River to
Stikine River section, 26.6 miles long, was 63 per cent completed at the end of
1960, and the Stikine River to Eddontenajon Lake section of 23.33 miles was 39
per cent completed. At the south end of the road the Bear Pass section of 11.6
miles was 53 per cent completed.
For the purpose of facilitating the development of the petroleum and natural-
gas resources in the northeastern part of the Province, it was decided, in conjunction
with the Department of Highways, to construct a bridge across the Fort Nelson
River at a point about 1 mile upstream from the mouth of the Muskwa River. At
the end of 1960 an approach access, 4 miles long, had been built from the Alaska
Highway at Mile 298.7 to the bridge-site. The bridge, completed early in 1961,
is a single-lane double-single Bailey designed for 50-ton loading. It is approximately 780 feet long and is carried on twelve pile piers and two abutments. On the
evening of April 25th, 1961, a large piece of ice carried by the swift-flowing river
crashed into the bridge and took out three of the piers.
MUSEUMS
The Department has a large exhibit of mineral and 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 Petroleum Resources 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.

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 and Petroleum
Resources 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 PETROLEUM RESOURCES 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 available to the public in the one suite of offices at
739 West Hastings Street, Vancouver 1.
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 1960 the Legal Surveys, Topographic, Geographic, and Air Divisions
of the Surveys and Mapping Branch continued to add to the variety of maps and
survey information which is available for use by all departments of government and
by the general public.
Legal Surveys Division issued 709 sets of instructions to surveyors in 1960.
A total of 514 field books were received, covering the survey of 870 lots, of which
twelve were surveyed under authority of the Mineral Act and the remainder under
the Land Act. The 210 Departmental reference map-sheets showing cadastral
information for the whole Province continued to be kept up to date. Prints of these
maps are available to the public at the nominal price of $1 per sheet.
Among the field projects completed by the Legal Surveys Division in 1960
was the surveying of 140 new townsite lots at Fort Nelson, Wonowon, Chetwynd,
and Bear Lake (north of Prince George). Also, 277 survey corners were remonu-
mented, mostly as the result of ties made during new surveys. The continuing programme of highway survey included 13 miles on the Southern Trans-Provincial
Highway (Moyie to Irishman Creek), 9 miles on the Cariboo Highwav (Stone
Creek to Red Rock), 17.25 miles on the Trans-Canada Highway (Cache Creek to
Deadman River Indian Reserve), 17 miles of new road (Alberta Boundary to Pouce
Coupe), and 12.3 miles on the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway (through Fort
Fraser to Fraser Lake).
Aerial photography coverage for a total of 22,211 square miles and 2,936
lineal miles was obtained by the Air Division. Of the above totals, 20,215 square
miles was narrow-angle photography at l-inch-to-20-chains scale. A grand total
of 24,959 photographs was made during aerial operations, and the number of negatives (Federal and Provincial) on file in the Air Photo Library increased to 493,635.
It is of interest to note that among requests for reprints and loans of air photographs during 1960, mining and oil and natural-gas companies accounted for 30,269
photos, or only slightly less than one-half of all photographs requisitioned by the
general public.
Topographic Division survey parties established field control for 21VjJ Standard National Topographic map-sheets in 1960. Nine map-sheets were covered in
the Nazko area north and west of Quesnel, four in the Stuart Lake area, and the
remainder in and around Wells Gray Provincial Park. Another accomplishment
was the completion of survey ties from existing geodetic and Provincial triangula-
tion to survey monuments on the Alaska Highway between Mile 374 and Mile 626.
A total of fifteen maps was published by Geographic Division in 1960. New
maps included sheet Ijr, a six-colour relief map of the Province at l-inch-to-30-
miles scale. Also released were three new National Topographic maps at a scale
of 1 inch to 2 miles, these being 82 L/NW (Shuswap Lake), 92 G/SW (Vancouver), and 92 I/NE (Kamloops Lake). Each of these sheets shows land status
and is fully contoured.
Stocks of eighteen full-colour National Topographic maps at 1:50,000 scale
were received by Geographic Division from mapping agencies at Ottawa. Additional maps of British Columbia published by Ottawa numbered fifty, of which
major stocks were received for twenty-one sheets at 1:50,000 scale and three at
1:250,000 scale. A major policy change was announced by the Federal mapping
agencies. The Army Survey Establishment ceased to handle the provisional mapping programme, and full control was assumed by the Department of Mines and
A 75
A 76 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1960
Technical Surveys. Furthermore, in order to speed the production of 1:50,000
National Topographic maps, permanent provisional maps in two colours are now
being produced for wilderness regions. Full-colour 1:50,000 maps will continue
to be issued for more settled areas.
Indexes of air-photo cover and of topographic, interim, and lithographed maps
are contained in the 1960 Annual Report of the British Columbia Lands Service.

Department of Mines and Technical Surveys
The Canadian Government Department of Mines and Technical Surveys performs many functions related to mining and the mineral industry in general. 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 mineral
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 at 739 West Hastings Street, Vancouver 1.
