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 lode-metal properties, 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. A 9 Review of the Mineral Industry * For the third year in succession it is possible to say that the value of British Columbia mineral production exceeds that of any previous year. The value for 1964 amounted to more than $267 million, a gain of $11.6 million or 4.5 per cent over 1963. The value for each of the four classes of mineral products—metals, industrial minerals, structural materials, and fuels—exceeded that of 1963, and for each the 1964 value is the highest value to date. The percentage gains over 1963 were for structural materials, 11.1 per cent; for metals, 4.6 per cent; for industrial minerals, 5.0 per cent; and for fuel, 0.4 per cent. Notwithstanding the low gain by fuel, all fuels except oil gained. Most items in the industrial-minerals group showed moderate gains over 1963. Structural materials were mostly produced at high rate; cement and sand and gravel showed the greatest gains over previous years. Metals accounted for 67.6 per cent of the total value; industrial minerals, 6.5 per cent; structural materials, 9.9 per cent; and fuels, 16 per cent. The increase in metals reflects increased prices for copper, lead, zinc, and for several of the by-product metals. The 1964 quantities of copper and lead were considerably below those of 1963, but increased prices gave values moderately higher than those of 1963. The year-average prices for gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and coal are tabulated on page A 20. Most of the metal is exported, and the returns from it are affected by the premium on United States funds. The premium in Canadian funds averaged 7.856 cents on the United States dollar, compared with 7.87 cents in 1963. In 1964 the premium ranged from 8.126 cents in My to 7.403 cents in November and was 7.451 cents in December. The price for silver was constant in the United States throughout 1964, the equivalent in Canadian funds varying with the exchange premium. The prices for copper, lead, and zinc all rose during 1964 and were at their highest in December, the averages for 1964 being substantially higher than for 1963. Increased prices for by-product metals, notably for antimony, cadmium, and tin, gave the by-products of siver-lead-zinc mining a value of more than $8 million, more than a million dollars above their 1963 value. Phoenix copper increased its rate of milling in 1964; Zeballos iron resumed production; Mount Washington copper began producing in December; Bethlehem began recovering by-product molybdenum, which, although contributing only $47,063 to the total value of metals, marks the beginning of regular production. At the end of 1964 Bethlehem was nearly ready to increase its daily tonnage. In the autumn Cominco's iron smelter at Kimberley increased its pig-iron production from 100 to 300 tons daily, and the capacities of the acid and fertilizer plants there were doubled. These increases were paralleled by increased use of iron sinter, credited as iron concentrate, and an increase in sulphur used. Resumption of production at Zeballos also contributed to the iron output, as did by-product iron concentrate from the Coast Copper mine. Although 1964 silver and lead output figures for British Columbia mines are considerably below 1963 quantities, and zinc is moderately below, the report of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company shows that its output of lead from the Trail smelter was much closer to its 1963 output, and silver and zinc exceeded 1963 * By Hartley Sargent, Chief of the Mineralogical Branch. A 10 REVIEW OF THE MINERAL INDUSTRY, 1964 A 11 output. Shipments from British Columbia silver-lead-zinc mines were less than in 1963, and customs and other figures show that lead and zinc concentrates and ore brought into British Columbia from foreign countries and other parts of Canada exceeded 1963 imports. The lead and zinc content of concentrates shipped to foreign smelters contained some 22 million pounds of lead and 48 million pounds of zinc, approximately 8 per cent of the lead and 12 per cent of the zinc British Columbia produced. The international nature of the industry is indicated by the number of countries from which lead and zinc concentrates are received, and the number of countries to which refined silver, lead, and zinc are shipped. All the nickel, 96 per cent of the iron, and 88 per cent of the copper went to Japan in the form of concentrates. The remainder of the copper went to the Tacoma smelter. Iron sinter smelted at Kim- berley amounted to about 4 per cent of the iron output for 1964. Asbestos went to 19 countries in North America, South America, Asia, and Europe, and 40 per cent of the coal went to Japan. Preparations were being made for molybdenum production at Boss Mountain early in 1965, and at Endako by mid-year. Three new mines—Granisle, copper; Tasu, iron and copper; and Western (Buttle Lake), copper, zinc, and gold—are all scheduled for production in 1966. At Alice Arm, British Columbia Molybdenum Limited has scheduled production for 1967, and Granduc was working toward copper production in 1968. Exploration for ores of metals has been at a lively pace for more than a decade. In 1964, 118 companies reported having worked on 253 properties. Interest was focused most sharply on molybdenum and copper, but gold, silver-lead-zinc, and iron all received attention, and a revival of interest in antimony and mercury became apparent. Long-established companies continued their exploratory operations, and several new companies entered the field. Recently several oil companies have entered mining exploration or shown interest in the possibilities. In 1964 the Geological Survey's programme included 26 ground projects in British Columbia, 9 being 4 miles to the inch and 3 being 1 mile to the inch mapping projects, and 14 being studies relating to stratigraphy and palaeontology, hydrology, and other special projects. The time assigned for several of the projects was considerably less than the field season. An airborne magnetometer survey, of four map-sheets in the vicinity of Revel- stoke, was carried out by contract, the expense being borne by the Geological Survey of Canada and the British Columbia Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources. The British Columbia Department had 10 of its staff geologists assigned to field projects and three geologists, not on the permanent staff, doing independent or semi- independent work. The projects in the main involved detailed studies of mines and their immediate settings, but also included studies of larger areas on Vancouver Island, in the southern Interior, central British Columbia, and near Alice Arm and Stewart. As a measure of the active interest of companies, syndicates, and individuals in exploration, figures from the office of the Chief Gold Commissioner are of interest. Assessment work was recorded on 32,047 mineral claims in 1964, compared with 24,648 in 1963, cash paid in lieu of performing assessment work increased from $62,080 to $96,596, and 29,244 mineral claims were recorded, compared with 25,160 in 1963. The needs of mines being developed and the need to provide access to parts of northern British Columbia, whose important mineral potential is already demonstrated, call for building roads in areas that currently depend largely on aircraft for A 12 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1964 transportation. The Stewart-Cassiar road progresses slowly. Roads of more local concern are under construction or are proposed. Because of increased production, 1964 fuel values were greater than those of 1963, for coal by 1.5 per cent; natural gas, 13.7 per cent; and liquid by-products, 1.2 per cent. Oil output decreased by 5.6 per cent. Coal output increased moderately, at the Crow's Nest Pass and Telkwa collieries. Of the coal mined, more than 90 per cent came from the Crowsnest Pass area. Exploration for petroleum and natural gas, including geophysical and geological work, and exploratory and development drilling were greatly reduced compared with 1963. Interest in offshore possibilities increased. Offshore exploration included seismic surveys off the west coast of Vancouver Island and the Queen Charlotte Islands and in Hecate Strait. Development drilling in northeastern British Columbia amounted to 385,676 feet, slightly greater than in 1963, but the footage drilled in exploratory and wildcat wells was substantially below that of 1963. The number of successfully completed gas wells declined 47 per cent from 1963, but successful completions of oil wells increased 45 per cent over 1963. More than half the new oil wells were in a newly discovered pool in the Nancy area. Pressure-maintenance schemes account for the slightly decreased production of petroleum, at the same time increasing the petroleum ultimately recoverable. This increase and new discoveries give an increase of 65 per cent in oil reserves. Gas reserves declined 7 per cent. Submitted gas analyses were reviewed completely, and new calculations give an increase of 10 per cent for reserves of natural-gas liquids and a decrease of 6 per cent for reserves of sulphur. A gas-conservation plant was completed and began delivering associated gas from the Boundary Lake oil field to the gas pipe-line. A new transmission-line, consisting of 220 miles of 30-inch pipe, from the Fort Nelson area to the Westcoast Transmission Company Limited Pipeline at Chetwynd was nearly completed by the end of 1964. A plant 15 miles south of Fort Nelson to treat high-pressure gas containing carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen sulphide, was completed. It is to begin delivering gas of pipe-line standards to the 30-inch transmission line early in 1965. Oil- and gas-gathering lines were also considerably increased. Direct revenue to the Government from sales of free miners' certificates and from recording fees, lease rentals, cash paid in lieu of assessment work, etc., amounted to $583,455.70, compared with $366,140.38 in 1963. Royalty on iron concentrates amounted to $269,774, and payments on industrial minerals and structural materials amounted to $37,091. Fees and rentals from coal licences and leases amounted to $5,362.45, compared with $4,737.45 in 1963. Revenue to the Government from petroleum and natural gas was rentals, fees, and miscellaneous, $8,444.59; sale of Crown reserves, $13,093,872; royalties, gas, $1,583,292; oil, $3,502,222; a grand total of $26,755,820, compared with $20,350,040 in 1963. Returns received by the Bureau of Economics and Statistics give the following data: Average number employed through 1964 in placer, lode, coal, industrial- mineral, and structural-material mining, 11,645. Major expenditures by those branches of the industry (except that items marked with an asterisk (*) are not reported or are reported incompletely by producers of structural materials and coal): Salaries and wages, $62,499,415; fuel and electricity, $10,032,340; process supplies,* including explosives, chemicals, drill steel, lubricants, etc., $26,351,879; Federal taxes,* $17,271,386; Provincial taxes,* $8,098,167; Provincial royalties, $306,865; municipal and other taxes,* $1,623,280; levies* for workmen's com- REVIEW OF THE MINERAL INDUSTRY, 1964 A 13 pensation (including silicosis), $1,521,597; unemployment insurance,* $680,310. The lode-mining industry spent $39,516,641 on freight and treatment charges on ores and concentrates. Taxes, levies, and unemployment insurance are incomplete for lode-metal companies in respect of preparation of new properties for production, and exploration and development. Work done by contract is reported as lump sums not broken down in any way. Returns from lode-metal companies show capital expenditures of $21,900,000, and expenditures on exploration and development of $18,980,000 in addition to salaries and wages on exploration and development amounting to $4,495,528, included in the salaries and wages item in the preceding paragraph. The capital expenditures include preparation for increasing production at two properties and preparations for converting from surface to underground mining at four properties. They include expenditures of $ 13,600,000f at three properties being prepared for production. The exploration and development expenditures cover work reported by 118 companies on 253 properties, consisting largely of properties under exploration, but include one property being prepared for production. Industrial-mineral producers reported capital expenditures of $1,810,021 and $18,023 on exploration and development, and structural-material producers reported capital expenditures of $908,896. The sum of the expenditures by the lode-metal, industrial-mineral, structural-materials, and coal-mining segments of the industry, including fees, licences, royalties, and the items noted in this and the preceding paragraph, exceed $211,000,000. Dividends amounted to $38,927,308. Reports from 23 petroleum and natural-gas companies show the following expenditures: Salaries and wages, $1,225,144; fuel and electricity, $173,521; and process supplies, $1,278,074. These returns do not cover the petroleum and natural-gas industry completely. The Canadian Petroleum Association presented the following estimates of total expenditures by the petroleum and natural-gas industry in British Columbia in 1964: Exploration—geological and geophysical, $7,500,000; exploratory drilling, $10,700,000; land acquisition and rentals, $21,600,000; overhead, $3,000,000; total exploration, $42,800,000; development drilling, $7,300,000; capital expenditures, $8,900,000; operation of wells and flow-lines, $4,500,000; capital expenditures and operation of natural-gas plants, $15,200,000; general — taxes (excluding income tax), $500,000; royalties, $5,200,000; all other expenses, $500,000; total general, $6,200,000; grand total, $84,900,000. t For two properties include proportion of expenditure reported for a period ending in 1965. Statistics The statistics of the mineral industry are collected and compiled and tabulated for this Report by the Bureau of Economics and Statistics, Department of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce. CO-OPERATION WITH DOMINION BUREAU OF STATISTICS In the interests of uniformity and to avoid duplication of effort, beginning with the statistics for 1925, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the various Provincial departments have co-operated in the collection and processing of mineral statistics. Producers of metals, industrial minerals, structural materials, coal, and petroleum and natural gas 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 pubished considerably later than the Report of the Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources for British Columbia. Differences between the figures published by the two organizations arise mainly from the facts that the Dominion Bureau bases its quantities of lode metals on returns made by smelter operators, whereas the British Columbia mining statistician uses the returns covering shipments from individual mines in the same period, and the Dominion Bureau uses average prices for metals considered applicable to the total Canadian production, whereas the British Columbia mining statistician uses prices considered applicable to British Columbia production. Peat, included under the classification of fuel by the Dominion Bureau, has not been regarded as mineral or fuel, and accordingly has not been included in the British Columbia statistics of mineral production. The value of peat for the current year is shown in a note under Table I. METHODS OF COMPUTING PRODUCTION 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 (1951,1958,1963).* Beginning with the 1960 Report, Tables I and II were given new forms, Table VIII was amalgamated with Table VII, and subsequent tables were renumbered. Beginning with the 1963 Report, the parts of Tables I and III dealing with metals were combined, so that all metals are now listed alphabetically in a single section. Beginning with the 1964 Report, Table II gives the value for each group of products for each year after 1886. In this 1964 Report, most of the explanatory notes that had appeared as footnotes to the production tables have been concentrated, arranged alphabetically in a section headed "Notes on Products," immediately following this introductory section. From time to time, revisions have been made to earlier figures as additional data became available or errors came to light. Data from the certified returns made by producers of lode metals, industrial minerals and structural materials, and coal are augmented by data obtained from * In these notes, references such as (1958) are to this section in the Report for the year indicated, where additional information will be found. A 14 STATISTICS A 15 the operators of customs smelters. For placer gold, returns from operators are augmented by data obtained from the Royal Canadian Mint and from Gold Commissioners and other sources. For petroleum, natural gas, and liquid by-products, production figures are supplied by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources and are compiled from the monthly disposition report, and Crown royalty statement filed with the Department by the producers. Values are in Canadian funds. Weights are avoirdupois pounds and tons (2,000 lb.) and troy ounces. Lode 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. Gross and Net Contents and Calculated Value The gross contents for any metal are the total assay contents, obtained by multiplying the assay by the weight of ore, concentrates, or bullion. The value is calculated by multiplying the quantity, gross for gold, net for silver, copper, lead, and zinc, by the average price for the year and by using appropriate prices for other products. Beginning with 1963, net contents are obtained from the gross as tabulated:— Lead Concentrates Zinc Concentrates Copper Concentrates Copper-Nickel Concentrates Copper Matte Silver Per Cent 98 W 98 90 Per Cent 98 50 90 70 Per Cent 95 (2) 50 70 Per Cent 85 88 Per Cent 95 Copper (3) 50 Zinc Cadmium-. Nickel 1 Less 26 pounds per ton of concentrates. 2 Less 20 pounds per ton of concentrates for 1963; less 10 pounds for 1964 and other years. 3 Less 10 pounds per ton of matte. Formerly the net silver content in copper concentrates was taken as 95 per cent of the gross; the net lead content of lead ores and concentrates was taken as 95 per cent; and the net zinc content in lead ores, lead concentrates, and zinc concentrates was taken as 85 per cent, except that for zinc concentrates exported to foreign smelters the net zinc content was calculated by deducting from the gross 8 units; that is, 160 pounds per ton of concentrates. The net copper content of copper concentrates for 1963 was obtained by deducting from the gross content 20 pounds of copper per ton of concentrates; formerly the deduction was 10 pounds, and for 1964 the deduction is also 10 pounds. 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. The value of by-product iron ore used in making pig iron at Kimberley has been computed from the value per ton of ore of comparable grade, at the point A 16 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1964 of export from British Columbia; 1960 and 1961 valuations have been recalculated on this basis. Average 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 20. Placer Gold and Silver Beginning with 1962, Mint reports giving the fine-gold content have been available for all but a negligible part of the reported placer-gold production, and the value of the fine-gold content has been used. Previously the value had been calculated, taking the average fineness as 822Vi. A record of the silver content of placer gold, received at the Royal Canadian Mint since 1947, has been incorporated in the appropriate tables. Industrial Minerals and Structural Materials Prices for these materials approximate the prices at the point of origin. Fuel Coal The price per ton used in valuing coal (see p. A 20) is the weighted average of the f.o.b. prices at the mines for coal sold and used. Petroleum and Natural Gas The values for natural gas, natural-gas liquid by-products, and for petroleum, including condensate/pentanes plus, are the aggregates of amounts received for the products at the well-head. NOTES ON PRODUCTS Antimony.—Production began in 1939. Antimony assigned to individual mining divisions is the reported content of concentrates exported to foreign smelters. Antimony " not assigned " is the antimony content of antimonial lead or of other antimony products at the Trail smelter. See Tables I, III, and Vile. Arsenious Oxide.—Production began in 1917. Principal productive periods: Omineca, 1928, 16,997 pounds, $340; Osoyoos, 1917-30 and 1942, 22,002,423 pounds, $272,861. See Table VIId. Asbestos.—Production began in 1952. From 1953 to 1961 asbestos was valued at the shipping point in North Vancouver. Beginning with 1962 the value has been taken as the value at that pricing point less shipping cost from the mine to North Vancouver. The values for the preceding years have been recalculated on the same basis. See Tables I, III, and VIId. Barite.—Production began in 1940. See Tables I, III, VIId. Bentonite.—Principal productive period, 1926-44, 791 tons. See Table VIId. Bismuth.—Production began in 1929. Recovered as by-product at Trail smelter. See Tables I, III, and Vile. Cadmium.—Production began in 1928. Cadmium assigned to individual niining divisions is the reported content of custom shipments to the Trail smelter and to foreign smelters.

' . 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 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 59. Central Records Offices (Victoria and Vancouver) Transcripts of all recordings 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 approximate position of mineral claims held by record and of placer-mining leases are plotted from details supplied by locators. Late in 1963 a start was made toward converting the plotting of claims and leases to a map scheme based on the National Topographic system. This will result, ultimately, in the Province being completely covered with maps of the same scale (40 chains to 1 inch approximately) rather than a confusion of scales necessitated by maps based on the Lands Service branch of the Department of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources reference and mineral reference maps. It is expected the transition to the National Topographic system will occupy about two years' time.

Information concerning applications for permits and leases issued under the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act and concerning the ownership and standing of them may be obtained upon application to the office of the Chief Commissioner, Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, Victoria, B.C. Similar information may be obtained respecting licences and leases issued under the Coal Act. Maps showing the locations of permits and leases under the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act are available, and copies may be obtained upon application to the office of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, Victoria, B.C. Monthly reports listing additions and revisions to permit- location maps and listing changes in title to permits, licences, and leases and related matters are available from the office of the Chief Commissioner upon application and payment of the required fee.

This acreage, held by operators ranging from small independent companies to major international ones, comprised:— Acreage 302 permits 22,417,836 1 natural-gas licence 9,669 19 drilling reservations 451,998 3,716 leases (all types) 11,848,359 34,727,862 Petroleum and Natural-gas Revenue, 1964 Rentals and fees— Permits $1,302,305 Drilling reservations 64,800 Natural-gas licences Petroleum, natural-gas, and petroleum and natural-gas leases 7,077,488 Total rentals and fees $8,444,593 A 62 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1964 Petroleum and Natural-gas Revenue, 1964—Continued Sales of Crown reserves— Permits Drilling reservations _ Leases Total Crown reserve sales Royalties— Gas Oil Processed products Total royalties Miscellaneous fees $721,193 1,541,685 10,830,994 $13,093,872 $1,583,292 3,502,222 104,990 Total petroleum and natural-gas revenues $5,190,504 26,851 $26,755,820 ANALYTICAL AND ASSAY BRANCH By S. W. Metcalfe, Chief Analyst and Assayer Rock Samples During 1964 the chemical laboratory in Victoria issued reports on 2,397 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 Prospectors (not grantees) , „ 1,995 186 216 1,977 184 98 5,160 459 580 Totals - - 2,397 2,259 6,199 Samples submitted to the laboratory for identification are examined by the Mineralogical Branch of the Department. During the year 84 such samples were examined. Petroleum and Natural-gas Samples Reports were issued on 21 samples. Of this number, seven were samples of formation waters from wells being drilled for gas and oil in the Province, one was a sample of natural gas, one was a sample from a suspected oil seep, and one was a crude oil for specific gravity determination. Finally, a black material in 11 rock samples was examined by X-ray and found to be amorphous carbon. * 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 Coal Samples Reports were issued on 35 samples of coal submitted by the Purchasing Commission, etc. Miscellaneous Samples Reports were issued on 341 samples of a miscellaneous nature. One hundred and fifty-six assays and 11 spectrographic analyses were reported in this category. For the Purchasing Commission, spectrographic analyses were performed on three steel reinforcing rods. For the Department of Agriculture, 11 samples of animal forage were analysed for copper, manganese, phosphorus, molybdenum, and sulphur; one marl sample and a calcareous waste product from a pulp-mill were also analysed. For the Department of Highways, Materials Testing Branch, four materials used in the manufacture of concrete were spectrographed; three clay samples were analysed for sodium and calcium, and one for sodium alone; one crust from a tunnel was identified as calcium carbonate; a partial analysis was conducted upon a water sample, and the content of organic material in another water sample was determined; finally, a white material in a rock sample was identified as the hemi- hydrate of calcium sulphate (plaster of Paris). For the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, for the Inspection Branch, four samples of diesel exhaust gas were analysed for oxides of nitrogen and two for aldehydes; elements in trace amounts were determined in two water samples, and two other water samples were examined for the presence of cyanide; finally, a proximate coal analysis was performed on a coal sample. For the Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch, a rock sample was analysed for its phosphorous pent- oxide content. For the Department of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources, Water Resources Service, four samples of water from the Nakusp Hot Springs were analysed, and partial analyses were performed on three other water samples. For the City of Victoria, for smoke inspection, determination was made of the weight of residue collected in 285 bottles of water placed in various open locations in the city; for the city engineers' department, determination of specific gravity was made on four water samples. For citizens of the Province, proximate analyses were performed on three coal samples, and a coal ash was examined for the presence of germanium; a sample of gypsum was analysed for sulphur, and a sample of limestone was analysed for lime and magnesia, these latter two samples having been referred to us by the Department of Agriculture. X-ray Powder Diffraction Analyses Sixty-five analyses of this type were performed for identification purposes. Examination for Assayers Two Provincial Government examinations for certificates of efficiency were held at Trail in May and December. In the May examination, eight candidates were granted licences to practise assaying in the Province, one was granted a supplemental in fire assaying, and one a supplemental in wet assaying. In the December examination, four candidates were granted licences to practise assaying, one was granted a supplemental in wet assaying, and one failed the entire examination.

MINERALOGICAL BRANCH Field work by officers of the Mineralogical Branch includes geological mapping and examinations 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 Petroleum Resources and partly in a series of bulletins. Since March, 1964, a charge has been made for Annual Reports and 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 31, 1964, the professional staff included the following geologists, all stationed at Victoria:— H. Sargent Chief of the Branch M. S. Hedley Senior Geologist Stuart S. Holland Geologist J. W. McCammon Geologist N. D. McKechnie Geologist G. E. P. Eastwood Geologist James T. Fyles Geologist A. Sutherland Brown Geologist J. M. Carr Geologist W. G. Jeffery Geologist A. F. Shepherd Geologist J. E. Hughes Geologist E. W. Grove Geologist N. C. Carter Geologist N. C. Carter joined the staff as geologist on March 1, 1964. R. V. Kirkham was employed for the field season, and in the autumn he returned to the University of Wisconsin to continue postgraduate studies in geology. N. Haimila, a postgraduate student in geology at Michigan State University, was employed for the field season under the general supervision of W. G. Jeffery. H. E. O. Neugebauer, a postgraduate student at the University of Oregon, was employed for the field season under the general supervision of N. D. McKechnie. Technical editing of the Annual Report of the Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources and of other publications was directed by M. S. Hedley. Copy for printing was prepared by and under the direction of 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, 1964 Season A. Sutherland Brown made a reconnaissance geological study in the Port San Juan-Cowichan Lake area. He also made geological studies and property examinations at Britannia, Texada Mines, and at Skidegate Inlet, Jedway, Skonun Point, and Tasu, in the Queen Charlotte Islands. 3 A 66 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1964 J. M. Carr studied molybdenum deposits at Bone Lake, Whiting Creek, Huckleberry Mountain, and Endako, in the central Interior. The Endako project involved extensive studies on the surface and underground, including the examination of a representative series of diamond-drill holes. He also made property examinations in the Princeton-Merritt-Highland Valley-Spences Bridge area. N. C. Carter made geological studies in the Alice Arm area, including a detailed study of the Lime Creek stock and associated molybdenum deposit, a less detailed study of the Lime Creek-Roundy Creek area, and property examinations in those sections, at the Tidewater molybdenum property, and silver properties on the upper Kitsault River. G. E. P. Eastwood made detailed geological studies in the Giant Mascot nickel mine at Choate, and underground and surface studies at the Boss Mountain molybdenum mine. James T. Fyles completed detailed mapping and studies of the structural features of the Ainsworth-Kaslo area, and began a study of the mineralized area at the Mount Copeland (King Fissure) property as a preliminary phase of a detailed study in the Jordan River area northwest of Revelstoke. Dr. Fyles also made examinations at the Big Ledge and Teddy Glacier properties. E. W. Grove began working in the Stewart area. His work included geological mapping from Stewart to the Bell-Irving River, along the Stewart-Cassiar road, detailed geological mapping of the surface and some underground mapping at the Silbak-Premier mine, and of the area between Bear Ridge and the Salmon Glacier, from Stewart northerly toward Mitre Mountain. M. S. Hedley made preliminary inspections of proposed dam-sites along the Grand Canyon of the Stikine River, and visited properties in the Stikine, Stewart, and Kootenay areas. W. G. Jeffery, with a senior assistant and two junior assistants, completed geological mapping of an area west of Buttle Lake and extending south to the head of Great Central Lake, on Vancouver Island. Moderate use of a helicopter was made for observation and in setting out fly camps. J. W. McCammon completed mapping magnesite deposits at Marysville and Brisco, in the East Kootenay district. He also examined deposits of quartz, kyanite, talc, and dolomite, in selected areas, and a deposit of mercury near the Bridge River area. N. D. McKechnie, with a senior assistant, mapped the Old Tom and Shoemaker Formations in an area north of Keremeos. Mr. McKechnie also made property examinations in the Aspen Grove area, and at Hedley, Peachland, upper Similka- meen River, Greenwood, Mabel Lake, and Westwold. R. V. Kirkham continued geological mapping at Hudson Bay Mountain (Smithers) and examined properties there and the molybdenum prospect at Mount Thomlinson. Air-borne Magnetometer Mapping As a project financed jointly by the Geological Survey of Canada and the British Columbia Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, the contractor, Spartan Air Services Ltd., did the field work for the production of four maps covering adjoining sheets at Revelstoke. Each sheet covers a quarter degree of latitude by a quarter degree of longitude. PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS BRANCH The Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch is responsible for the administration of the Regulations Governing the Drilling of Wells and the Production and Conserva- DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 67 tion of Oil and Natural Gas, and the Regulations Establishing Gas-Oil Ratio Adjustment Factors, Oil Production Allowables, and Overproduction and Underproduction, made pursuant to the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act. The first named regulations provide 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. The regulations concerning gas-oil ratio factors, production allowables, and overproduction and underproduction provide for conservation of reservoir energy by limiting the volume of oil that can be produced during any day, month, or year from a well or pool in accordance with the schedule of gas-oil ratio adjustment factors. The factors are applicable against oil production when the average volume of gas produced with each barrel of oil exceeds a specified level, and, when applied, result in reduction of the producing rate. Overproduction and underproduction are adjusted on a monthly basis. Every well location must be approved by the Branch before the well is drilled. All operations related to drilling and production are inspected frequently to ensure compliance with the provision of all regulations, including such features as facilities and practices used, adequate plugging of abandoned wells, surface restoration of well-sites, well testing and measurement procedures employed, disposal of produced water, protection of installations against fire, and general conservation. Investigations are made of complaints of property damage resulting from drilling and producing operations, and from geophysical work programmes. Comprehensive records of all drilling and producing operations are maintained at Victoria and are made available for study, or are published, for the use and benefit of anyone interested in oil or gas development in British Columbia. Samples of bit cuttings, as well as all core, obtained from every well drilled in the Province are collected and retained at the field office located at Charlie Lake, where they may be studied by interested persons. Charlie Lake is adjacent to the Alaska Highway about 5 miles northwest of Fort St. John. Detailed reservoir engineering and geological studies are conducted on the basis of technical information submitted to the Branch from operating companies, as well as information acquired through field work by Branch personnel. Estimates of the reserves of oil and natural gas are made twice a year, at the end of June and December. Crown-owned oil and natural-gas rights are evaluated prior to being disposed of by public tender. Administration The Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch is subdivided for administrative purposes into three sections. The sections and the supervisors are as follows: Reservoir Engineering, R. R. McLeod; Development Engineering, W. L. Ingram; and Geology, S. S. Cosburn. The field office at Charlie Lake, which includes the core and sample laboratory, is supervised by the District Engineer, G. E. Blue. Staff Headquarters, Victoria J. D. Lineham Chief of Branch R. R. McLeod Senior Reservoir Engineer and member of the Board of Arbitration K. C.

Members: R. R. McLeod, engineer, Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources; S. G. Preston, agrologist, Department of Agriculture. The Board of Arbitration is responsible to the Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources, and is established under the authority of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act. The Board grants right of entry by oil and gas companies upon alienated land and determines conditions of entry and compensation therefor. It also terminates the right of entry when the company has ceased to use the land. The Board held one hearing in 1964, at which the two applications, carried over from 1963, were heard and settled by Board awards. No further applications were received during the year. Conservation Committee Chairman: P. J. Mulcahy, Deputy Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources. Members: N. D. McKechnie, geologist, Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources; M. H. A. Glover, economist, Department of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce. The Conservation Committee is responsible to the Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources, and was established originally on October 11, 1957, under the authority of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act. Its duties are as follows:— (1) To act as an advisory committee to the Minister on such questions of conservation that the Minister, in writing, shall refer to the Committee for consideration and recommendation. (2) To deal with such questions of conservation and production in the various fields of British Columbia as may arise between two or more operators in the same field or between operators and the Branch when appeals on such questions are made to the Minister and referred by him to the Committee. The Conservation Committee did not meet in 1964. DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 69 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. Items such as guns, fishing- gear, stoves, boats, and outboard motors are not a legitimate charge against the grant and must be provided by the applicant. Costly items such as geophysical survey equipment, mineralights, Geiger counters, berylometers, packsack diamond drills, two-way radios, horses, and packsaddles are not expendable in any one season and cannot be accepted at full cost against the grant, but a reasonable rental charge may be considered. 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. He should have bush experience and be physically and mentally fit. He must agree to abide by the regulations which the Department may make. 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 60 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 grub-stakes are not intended for week-end prospecting or for short trips from a home base. The grant is usually made in two payments: the first at the beginning of the season, and the second after he has completed 60 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. 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 the grubstake. No interest is retained by the Government in any discovery made by a grantee, other than that which applies in common with all free miners. Time is not allowed for prospecting on old properties which have had work done on them, unless mineral deposits of present economic importance have been discovered on them for the first time. Grub-stakes are not given for prospecting for placer deposits or gem stones. 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. A 70 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1964 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 to provide for medical and other expenditures that may be incurred in the event of an accident. The grants are intended only to assist grantees to go out and prospect and are not intended for the support of dependents. Therefore, applicants who are married and have dependents are required to give assurance that their dependents will be adequately provided for during the time the applicant is absent in the field.

Mineralogical identifications are made on request. Sixty-five applications were received in 1964, and 53 grub-stakes were authorized. Three grantees were unable to go out, and their initial payments were returned. Grantees who were unable to complete the terms and conditions of the grant received only partial payment. Seventeen prospectors were given grants for the first time. Six grantees proved to be unsatisfactory. Several grantees used aircraft for transportation to their prospecting areas. Two grantees were taken ill and were unable to continue prospecting. D. H. Rae interviewed applicants in Vancouver and contacted 30 grantees in the field and gave advice and direction to those who needed it. 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.—Some prospecting was done in the Bedwell River area, close to Mount Tom Taylor, where minor mineralization was found near a granite-porphyry contact. Atlin Mining Division.—In the Squaw Creek-Rainy Hollow area, close to the British Columbia-Yukon boundary, further work was done on a large mineralized DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 71 zone showing much chalcopyrite. Claim holdings in this area have interested several mining companies. Prospecting was also done west of the Haines road between Miles 71 and 87 on several mineral zones exposed in the area. Nothing of value was reported. Cariboo Mining Division.—Near Philip Lakes, in the northern part of the mining division, some prospecting was done. Fifteen miles southwest of Prince George, prospecting was carried on in an area underlain mainly by andesite and limestone. One carbonate zone was investigated, and a small talc deposit was found. In the Willow River district a small area underlain by granite was prospected at La Pier Creek, and another near Giscome. A base camp was established at an unnamed lake 40 miles southwest of Vanderhoof and field work was done in the area; out- croppings of pyritized granite were examined. In the Snowshoe Creek-Harveys Creek area, slate and wide barren quartz veins were found. Some inconclusive work was done near Moorehead Lake, near Keithley Creek, where considerable quartz in slate was found, and near Kersley. Nothing of interest resulted from work done near Cariboo Lake, Beaver Creek, or Upper Hat Creek. Clinton Mining Division. — Some prospecting was done near Canim Lake, where the underlying rocks are diorite, limestone, and some volcanic rocks. A base camp was established on Bluff Lake near Tatla Lake, and considerable work was done about that and nearby lakes. At Tatlayoko Lake one barren-looking quartz vein was investigated. In the vicinity of Taseko Lake, metamorphic rocks, shear zones, and numerous dykes were seen. In the valley of the Tchaikazan River the geology was reported to be complex, but the prospecting possibilities were reported to be better than average. Fort Steele Mining Division.—Some work was done along the United States boundary on Monk Creek and Priest River—rusty quartz in dolomite, and a wide quartz vein containing minor lead and silver were reported. Greenwood Mining Division.—At the headwaters of Kerr Creek, prospecting was done in the Wallace Creek valley, in the Granby River area where chalcopyrite was found in limestone, and Porter Creek where a 4-foot-wide quartz vein mineralized with chalcopyrite and pyrite was found. In the McCarren Creek area nothing new was reported. Kamloops Mining Division.—Some prospecting was done in areas adjacent to Charcoal and Chase Creeks. In the Fly Hills area, several quartz veins and pegmatite dykes were prospected, and low metal values were found. In the Clearwater River area, minor occurrences of barite and molybdenite were reported. Close to Wallenstein Lake, copper stain over a fairly wide area was investigated. A small amount of work was done around Mahood Lake and close to Star Lake. In the Louis Creek area, narrow quartz veins in volcanics were found to contain minor amounts of galena. Some rhodonite was found near Barriere, and in the Barriere River area a mineralized zone containing galena, pyrrhotite, and arsenopyrite was prospected; values were low. Prospecting was done on both sides of Adams Lake. On the east side, nearly opposite Agate Bay, some interesting mineralized zones were found above the 2,500-foot level; some barite was found on the east side of the lake 6 miles north of Agate Bay. On Johnson Creek, in an area underlain mainly by schists and breccia, small amounts of galena in quartz were found. Near the headwaters of Tshinakin Creek, narrow quartz veins in argillite were prospected. On the north side of lower Shuswap Lake above Celista, arsenopyrite was found associated with quartz veins. Liard Mining Division.—Prospecting was done 30 miles below the headwaters of Turnagain River in the general vicinity of Wheaton Creek and on King Mountain. Small amounts of chromite and some veins of asbestos were found in serpentine. A 72 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1964 Some work was done in the Cold Fish Lake area and at Nation Peak. Northwest of Nation Peak, some barite stringers were examined. In the Mink Creek area, claims were staked on a showing of barite and galena. In the Dalton Creek valley, the lower slopes showed limestone, quartzite, and pyritized tuff. Near Gnat Creek, green copper stain and minor amounts of bornite were found near a contact zone of granite and volcanics. Close to the Three Sisters Range, narrow discontinuous stringers of bornite were noted. At Tanzilla River, serpentine, limestone, and outcrops of volcanics were observed. The Pitman River area received some attention; small pieces of chalcopyrite float were found in several places, but the source of these was not discovered. Some inconclusive work was done on showings of both asbestos and molybdenite within 15 miles of the Cassiar Asbestos mine. Some prospecting was done in other parts of the area, but nothing of interest was reported. Base camps were established on Nuttlude and Kakiddi Lakes, and considerable prospecting was done there and on the Klastline Plateau. Some narrow stringers of bornite were found along the Klappan River. Some work was done from a base camp on Boulder Creek, an area underlain by serpentine, and where some good jade boulders have been found. West of King Mountain, occurrences of serpentine and schist were noted; along Wheaton Creek, sedimentary rocks, serpentine, andesite, and slate showing numerous quartz stringers were reported; along Ferry Creek, andesite and some occurrences of bog iron. On King Mountain, serpentine containing narrow asbestos fibres was observed, and along Faulkner Creek, granite with abundant quartz. A considerable amount of prospecting was done in flat and swampy country, with numerous lakes and streams, at the southern edge of the Kawdy Plateau west of the Tuya River. Some sulphide minerals were found on and close to Nuthinaw Mountain. About 10 miles northeast of Tootsie Lake, some prospecting was done on a mineralized zone containing molybdenite, and a number of mineral claims were staked. Lillooet Mining Division.—Prospecting was done on Sallus Creek south of Pavilion and Mount Bren and Riley Creek south of Lillooet. Outcrops of nephrite jade on Ama Creek in the lower Bridge River received some attention, as well as chalcopyrite in a breccia zone. A short distance below the mouth of the Yalakom River a gold-bearing shear zone was discovered and staked. Work was done on Moon, Applespring, Antoine, and Camoo Creeks. Work in the Marshall Creek area north of the Bridge River extended from Liza Lake to Bighorn Creek. A little copper mineralization was found, and stringers of asbestos fibre were investigated. Disseminated chalcopyrite was seen at Spider Creek south of Shalalth. A large deposit of dolomite above the village of Lillooet was investigated and staked. Barren quartz veins in porphyry were seen near Jesmond. Quartz float showing gold was found in the area of Black Dome Mountain. Nanaimo Mining Division.—A considerable amount of intensive prospecting was done on Quadra Island, from Granite Bay on the west side to Open Bay on the east side, and including a large area inland from these localities. No commercial ore exposures were found, but the whole area is interesting from the point of view of prospecting. Nelson Mining Division.—A fair amount of work was done in areas southeast and north of Creston, including Sanca Creek, Corn Creek north of Boundary Creek (pyritized granite and some kyanite outcrops were reported), Dodge Creek, Goat DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 73 River valley, and the junction of Goat and Cameron Creeks. Nothing of immediate importance was discovered. New Westminster Mining Division.—An intensive programme of prospecting was carried out in the Ashloo Creek valley, both above and below the old gold-mine camp. Both conventional and geochemical methods of prospecting were employed. Similar work was done in the upper Pitt Lake area. Some interesting preliminary results of this work were obtained. Prospecting was done north of loco, at Widgeon Lake, Alouette Lake, east of Stake Lake, and in the Kanaka Creek area. A great deal of prospecting in the form of surface trenching and diamond drilling was done on an occurrence of sericite-talcose schist close to the railway bridge over Ruby Creek (a few miles north of Agassiz). Nothing of commercial importance was reported in the Mahood Creek valley and also at Dog Mountain near Hope. Nicola Mining Division.—Some prospecting was done in the Coldwater River valley near Juliet in an area mainly underlain by granite. Nothing of importance was reported from these areas. Omineca Mining Division.—Some work was done near the centre of the eastern side of Babine Lake, but no mineralization of interest was reported. Near Francois Lake an area underlain by Topley granite and other rocks was investigated. Considerable work was done between Chuchi Lake and Witch Lake, southwest of Witch Lake, and in the Jean Marie Creek area. Some work was done on a mineralized zone on Tchentlo Lake, where disseminated low-grade showings of molybdenite had been found. A great deal of prospecting was done fairly close to the Manson River about 20 miles south of Manson Creek, where fairly good mineralization of molybdenite and narrow quartz veing containing chalcopyrite had been discovered. Near Gillis Mountain, granodiorite and quartzite showing some molybdenite and galena were reported. Some mineralization was seen on Boulder Creek. These various mineral zones appear to warrant further prospecting. At and near Manson Creek, work was done at Government Gulch, on a low- grade copper showing at Skeleton Gulch, galena-bearing quartz stringers at Skeleton Creek, a quartz vein with tetrahedrite at Slate Creek. Work was done to the east on Blackjack Mountain, Lost Creek, and Jackfish Creek. West of Germanson Lake, work was done on upper Twenty Mile Creek, where stibnite was found in a major fault. At Twin Creek and Groundhog Creek, tributaries of Kwanika Creek, some copper mineralization was seen. A wide carbonate zone was reported at Wasi Lake, south of the Osilinka River. On the south side of Tsayta Lake at the head of Nation River, some narrow asbestos veins were found in serpentine. On Klawli Creek north of Nation Lake, some molybdenite was found in a large quartz vein near a granite-slate contact. From camps on Stuart Lake, work was done at several localities. Near Pam Lake very fine blebs of cinnabar were found in argillite, and at Mount Nielsp narrow stringers of asbestos were seen in amphibolite. At the extreme south of the mining division, considerable work was done on a large mineralized zone lying at a high elevation above Tesla Lake; chalcopyrite, bornite, and malachite in commercial amounts are found in this zone, which may develop into something of importance. A little work was done south and southeast of Vanderhoof and to the southwest in the Fawnie and Nechako Hills region. From a base camp established by helicopter on the top of Mount Loring on the westerly side of Morice Lake, intensive prospecting was done on copper mineral- A 74 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1964 ization scattered over a wide area, and sufficiently strong in several sections to be of importance. Copper minerals include chalcopyrite, chalcocite, and bornite, and a great deal of malachite and azurite. This area warrants further intensive prospecting. Near Sweeney Lake small quartz veins mineralized with chalcopyrite were found in volcanic rocks; no commercial material was reported. Osoyoos Mining Division.—In the Peachland Creek valley, some work was done on a mineralized zone showing minor amounts of chalcopyrite and molybdenite in an area underlain by argillite and tuff. On the south slope of Mount Kathleen, high-grade copper float was found, but the source was not located. Some work was done along Shuttleworth Creek and in the Trout Creek area, where low values in copper were found in quartz-diorite. On Apex Mountain, low values in molybdenite were found in quartz-diorite and low copper values in chert. Similkameen Mining Division.—Some further work was done in the Princeton area on Badger, McNulty, Hines, and Red Creeks; some low values in copper and molybdenite were reported. In Olivine Creek valley, some lenses of magnetite in basic rocks were found. A limited amount of work was done on Nickel Plate Mountain. Some work was done from the old Summit camp in the upper Tulameen River, but nothing of interest was reported. Skeena Mining Division.—On Banks Island, pyritic quartz veins were investigated near Banks Lake and in Colby Bay. Float was found in Porcher Inlet, and quartz veins were seen on Prescott and Stephens Islands. Nothing of importance was reported from any of these findings. Prospecting was done at Lime Creek in Alice Arm area on quartz veins giving commercial assays in silver, lead, and zinc. In the Olh Creek valley in Hastings Arm, barren wide quartz veins were investigated. Some work was done northwest of Terrace in the Star Creek area. At Mitchell Inlet on the Queen Charlotte Islands, gold-bearing quartz veins received some attention. A little work was done in the upper Bella Coola River valley, where serpentine containing short narrow stringers of asbestos fibre were reported. Work was also done near Hagensborg in the Salloomt and Nusatsum River valleys, North Bentinck Arm, and at the head of South Bentinck Arm. Slocan Mining Division.—A considerable amount of work was done within reach of Burton, within the valleys of Caribou, Tyee, Independence, Slewiskin, Ice, and Woden Creeks, and on Silver Mountain. Nothing of economic value was reported. Some inconclusive work was done in the upper reaches of the Duncan River. Vancouver Mining Division.—A short time was spent in the Squamish River area and some prospecting was reported to have been done in the Clowhom Lake area, in the Mount Murchison area, and close to Mount Roderick; no information is available on the results of this. Two prospectors were flown in and landed on a glacier in the Mount Waddington area; supplies for the season were air-dropped nearby. An excellent report on the work done has been submitted. Work extended from Scimitar Glacier, Remote and Bell Mountains, Dorothy Creek, Fank Peak, Mount Geddes, and Twist Creek to Calwell Creek. Nothing of definite commercial importance was reported, but much valuable information was submitted, including the occurrence of gossans, shears, and copper mineralization. Vernon Mining Division.—Work was done 5 miles above the junction of Mc- Cauley and Harris Creeks, near Nicklen Lake and in the Vidler Creek valley. Victoria Mining Division.—Some work was done on a quartz vein in the Sooke Lake area; no information was submitted. DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 75 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 trunk 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. Total mileages and disbursements under " Grants in Aid of Mining Roads and Trails" during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1965, were as follows:— Mining roads and trails— Miles c^ Construction and reconstruction 123.6 $194,846.80 Maintenance 189.0 35,567.53 Bridges—Construction and reconstruction 10,307.50 Total $240,721.83 In addition to the above, work was continued on the Stewart-Cassiar road. This road is being constructed under the Roads to Resources Agreement between Canada and British Columbia. The construction is supervised by the Department of Highways on behalf of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources. At the north end of the road the 40.12-mile section from Eddontenajon Lake to Burrage River is 99 per cent completed. At the south end of the road the 31.87-mile section between Strohn Lake and the lower crossing of the Bell-Irving River is 91 per cent completed. A contract was let in October for clearing and grubbing on the 38.1- mile section from the south to the north crossings of the Bell-Irving River. MUSEUMS The Department has a large exhibit of mineral and rock specimens in the Douglas Building, Victoria; collections are also displayed in the offices of the Inspectors of Mines at Nelson, Vancouver, and Prince Rupert. Specimens from the collection in Victoria, accumulated in a period of more than 60 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. A 76 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1964 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 and Petroleum Resources, bulletins, and other publications of the Department, with prices charged for them, are listed in the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources 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 reading-room of the office of the Geological Survey of Canada 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 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, Forests, and Water Resources. OFFICES OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES AND THE DEPARTMENT OF MINES AND TECHNICAL SURVEYS, CANADA. The Provincial Inspectors of Mines and Resident Engineers for the Vancouver Island and Lower Mainland districts, the Silicosis Control Inspectors, and the Gold Commissioner and Mining Recorder for Vancouver Mining Division occupy offices at 739 West Hastings Street, Vancouver 1. Next door, at 326 Howe Street, officers of the Geological Survey of Canada are stationed, and a technical library is maintained. The services offered to the public at these two offices include technical information on mining and the geology of the Province, the identification of mineral specimens, distribution of Federal and Provincial mining and geological publications, a reference library, a display of rocks and minerals, and a central records office. Topographic Mapping and Air Photography The Legal, Topographic, Air, and Geographic Divisions of the Surveys and Mapping Branch are responsible for the official surveys and mapping programme of the Province of British Columbia. A complete summary of the activities of the Surveys and Mapping Branch is published in the Annual Report of the British Columbia Lands Service, 1964. In 1964 the Legal Surveys Division received 660 sets of field notes covering 910 lots surveyed under the Land Act and 78 under the Mineral Act. The 210 Departmental reference maps showing cadastral information were maintained, and four of them were renewed. Home-site subdivisions produced 66 lots at Port Hardy, 104 at the south end of Dease Lake, 46 at Windermere Lake, 46 at 70 Mile House, 11 at 150 Mile House, and 1 near Chetwynd. A total of 69 miles of highway right- of-way was surveyed on the Northern Trans-Provincial (Route No. 16), Southern Trans-Canada (No. 3), Kootenay-Columbia (No. 93), and Okanagan (No. 97) highways. The Topographic Division conducted co-ordinate surveys and ran nearly 175 miles of levelling in Surrey Municipality. A control survey was made around the perimeter of Graham Island, while another field crew established control on the Peace River power project reservoir. At the request of the petroleum industry, 170 miles of levels were run and 48 bench-marks established north of Fort St. John. Eight National Topographic map-sheets covering approximately 2,930 square miles were produced photogrammetrically, and 16 standard topographic manuscripts were draughted at 2-inches-to-l-mile scale. The Air Division added interim sheets covering 3,200 square miles to its 20- chain (4 inches to 1 mile) scale programme. Interim mapping at 40-chain (2 inches to 1 mile) scale produced 13 full sheets and 12 partial sheets of the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway Company lands. Aerial photographic block coverage totalled 20,390 square miles at 40-chain scale and 18,965 square miles at 20 chains. For the first time the entire Queen Charlotte Islands group was photographed, the area covered by 938 photos at 40-chain scale being 4,500 square miles. Other assignments included photography of sections of the Bridge, Fraser, Thompson, Salmon, and Similkameen Rivers. The mining industry requisitioned 14,126 photographs by loan or reprint; this represented 27 per cent of the prints taken by the general public in 1964. New maps issued by the Geographic Division included one sheet at 1-inch-to- 2-miles scale, 82G/NW-NE (Cranbrook), and three at 1:250,000 scale—namely, 93f (Nechako), 103i-j (Prince Rupert-Terrace), and 103p (Nass River). Also completed was map Ijps (British Columbia, Physiographic Subdivisions). This sheet, at l-inch-to-30-miles scale, was specially prepared at the request of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources to accompany its Bulletin No. 48, Landforms of British Columbia. A variation of map Ijps without the overprint of physiographic subdivisions was issued separately as map Ijp (British Columbia, Physical). Plans of 152 petroleum and natural-gas well sites surveyed under the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act were checked during 1964. Ottawa agencies printed 38 Federal and two Provincial map-sheets at 1:50,000 scale and two at 1:250,000 scale. A list of place-name revisions and additions was A 77 A 78 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1964 sent to Ottawa for publication in a new Provincial Gazetteer. At the end of the year the Gazetteer of British Columbia, 1953, was virtually out of print. Indexes showing the extent and types of aerial photography and map coverage are available from the Director, Surveys and Mapping Branch, Department of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources, Victoria, B.C. 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, Surveys and Mapping Branch, and Mineral Resources Division are services of the Department of 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 notes on the Mines Branch and the Mineral Resources Division. 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 Room 102, 326 Howe Street, Vancouver 1.
