(Illustration\none-half natural size.) PART A.\nTHE MINING INDUSTRY.\nBY\nJohn F. Walker.\nThe value of mine production in 1937 was $74,475,902, an increase of $20,393,935 over\n1936. The increase is largely due to abnormally high base-metal prices prevailing throughout the greater part of the year. This is clearly shown in the case of lead, where the volume\nincrease amounted to 10.9 per cent, and the value increase 44.8 per cent. All phases of the\nmining industry have shown increases in both volume and value.\nLead production has again stepped into the lead, with an all-time record in volume of\n419,118,371 lb., valued at $21,416,949, this being the greatest value attained in the history\nof mining in the Province for any one metal or material in. a single year.\nBoth lode and placer gold have again shown appreciable increases, and once again a new\nrecord has been established with an output of 514,934 oz., valued at $17,680,972.\nZinc production, which in 1936 fell slightly below the 1935 volume record, has again shown\nan appreciable increase, and established a new all-time record with a production of 291,192,278\nlb., valued at $14,274,245. This shows an increase of 14.4 per cent, in volume and 69.1 per\ncent, in value.\nCoal, valued at $6,139,920, shows a smaller increase over 1936 than did the production\nin 1936 over 1935.\nCopper, which in 1936 had decreased both in volume and in value to the lowest point\nsince 1900, has, with the return of Britannia to full capacity and the reopening of Copper\nMountain, shown an even better recovery during 1937 than was anticipated. Volume production increased 121.4 per cent, and value production 205.5 per cent. The latter, however,\nwas due to abnormally high prices for copper.\nSilver production in volume was the greatest in the history of the Province, with an\noutput of 11,308,685 oz., valued at $5,075,451. The value is considerably below that of the\npeak year of 1926, when 10,748,556 oz. was valued at $6,675,606. The record volume production clearly shows that silver in British Columbia to-day is a by-product, and largely\ndependent upon the production of base metals.\nNon-metallic minerals and structural materials as groups show substantial increases in\nvalue of 31 to 37 per cent., and only in a few individual items in each group has there been\nany decrease. The steady increase in the value of these materials is a healthy sign.\nThe total number of shipping-mines increased from 168 to 185, those shipping over 100\ntons increasing from 70 to 113.\nThe number of men employed increased from 14,180 to 16,129, the greatest number\nemployed in any year; and wages and salaries increased from $17,917,221 to $21,349,690,\nthe greatest amount ever paid out in any year.\nDividends increased from $10,513,705 in 1936 to an all-time record of $15,085,293 in 1937.\nThese figures do not include dividends paid by Howe Sound Mining and Smelting Company,\nparent company of the Britannia Mining and Smelting Company.\nDuring the past four years new tables have been compiled, the first of which, Table No. I.,\nappeared in the 1933 Annual Report.\nFor the 1934 Annual Report, Table No. VI. (now Table No. VII.), which formerly\ntabulated the yield of placer gold only, was drawn up to show both placer- and lode-gold\nvalues. This facilitates a rapid view of the total gold production of the Province. Another\ntable introduced in 1934, No. XXII., includes \" Mining Companies employing an Average of\nTen or more Men.\" Incorporated in this table, additional data are presented showing the\nnumber of operating days at mine and mill, and also tonnage mined and milled. A subsection\nof the table shows operating days and average men employed at non-shipping mines employing\nten or more men.\nPROVINCIAL LIBRARY\nVICTORIA. B.C. A 6 REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1937.\nTable No. II. was added to the Annual Report for 1936. It gives the average metal\nprices used in compiling Provincial production for the years 1901 to date, for gold, silver,\ncopper, lead, and zinc.\nTable No. IX. has been subdivided into three parts\u2014IX.A, IX.B, and IX.C\u2014to facilitate\nreference, and IX.D, IX.E, IX.P have been added to show similar data for the period 1900-1937,\ninclusive.\nTable No. VIII. has been extended to cover a period of five years' production from mining\ndivisions and districts in place of the three-year period formerly given.\nTable No. XVII., appearing for the first time in the 1936 Annual Report, has been\namended to show dividends paid from 1919 to date. The information in this table has been\nobtained from departmental files, operators, and trade journals, and while in general accurate,\nthere may be slight differences in isolated instances.\nTable No. XVIIL, also a new table introduced in 1936, sets forth capital employed,\nsalaries and wages, amount expended on fuel and electricity, and process supplies for the\nyear 1937, with comparative figures for 1936. The table shows details of such subjects by\ndistricts, under the various classes of mining. The totals are those obtained from all returns\nmade to the Department on the subject, but there are some returns not received in time to be\nincluded in the totals, nor does it take into account the amounts expended in the large number\nof small operations conducted by one or two individuals or prospectors.\nTable No. XIX. is a former table enlarged to show a period from 1901 to 1937, inclusive,\ncovering tonnage, number of mines, number of mines shipping over 100 tons, and net value to\nshipper of lode-minerals. A new feature in the table also is the gross value of lode-minerals\nproduced. It will be observed that the \" net value \" is not given for the years previous to\n1926; such was not given on returns filed by operators.\nTable No. XX. is a former table showing number of men employed in the mining industry.\nFormerly the table gave the current year and one comparative year, but the present table\ncovers the period 1901 to 1937, inclusive.\nGENERAL SITUATION.\nIt is as difficult to forecast the value of the mining industry for 1938 as it was for 1937.\nAt the time of writing the forecast for 1936 base-metal prices were skyrocketting, and far\nabove normal. At the present time base-metal prices are below what may be considered a\nfair average, and it is very difficult to estimate the possibility of prices rising before the end\nof the year to a level which will allow a fair average for the year.\nIt is anticipated that lode gold will again show an increase in volume. It appears reasonably certain that gold will again take first place in the mining industry during 1938, and will\nexceed lead in value, though it is unlikely that the value of production will be equal to that\nof lead for 1937.\nPlacer gold should show a further increase in volume and value production, and it is\ninteresting to note that more interest is being taken in placer-mining in British Columbia in\n1938 than for many years.\nSilver production may show a decrease, and it is impossible to predict what may happen\nto the price for the metal before the year is out.\nCopper should show a very large gain in volume, due to return to capacity production of\nBritannia, and an anticipated full year's operation at the Copper Mountain property of\nGranby Consolidated Mining, Smelting, and Power Company. While the average copper price\nfor 1938 is likely to be considerably below that for 1937, the volume increase is anticipated\nto be large enough to show a value increase for the year, even at a lower metal price.\nLead production, due to a much lower price for the metal, may show a slight decrease\nin volume, and it is reasonably certain that there will be an appreciable decrease in value, as\non the basis of 1937 volume productionl cent a pound means a difference in value of over\n$4,000,000.\nZinc production may also show a slight decrease in volume, due to lower metal prices,\nand it is almost certain that the decrease in value will be considerable, as the metal is at\npresent selling at almost 2 cents less per pound than the average price attained in 1937. A\n1-cent variation in price based on last year's volume means a difference in value of close to\n$3,000,000.\nCoal may be expected to show a slight increase in volume and value. THE MINING INDUSTRY. A 7\nStructural materials should show a further increase in 1938.\nIn preparing the foregoing estimate, it is assumed that no major disaster will affect the\nmining industry or any of the larger producers. If the industry functions smoothly throughout the year, it is anticipated that while the value of mine products will not be as great as\nin 1937, the industry will have had a very good year.\nDuring the past year the Whitewater property of Polaris-Taku Mining Company, Limited,\nwas brought into production in the far north-western part of the Province. The Big Missouri\nmill, under construction during the past year, has been brought into production at the time\nof writing. Placer-mining in the Atlin area has shown an improvement, and generally greater\ninterest is being shown in mining in the far north-west part of the Province.\nThe Manson section in the North-eastern Mineral Survey District was very active during\nthe past year, and it is anticipated that increased activity will take place in placer-mining in\nthat area during the coming season.\nIt is anticipated that development in respect to lode-gold properties in the Cariboo\ndistrict will reach greater proportions than during the boom period of a few years ago.\nPlacer-mining in the Cariboo area is again increasing in importance, and during the past\nyear more than 1,000,000 cubic yards of dirt was hydraulicked at the Bullion mine. It is\nlikely that several dredging possibilities will be investigated within the area during the\ncoming season.\nIn the Southern and Central Mineral Survey District, the Hedley Camp continues to\nattract the greatest amount of attention. The reopening of the Copper Mountain property\nof the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting, and Power Company, is creating an interest\nin the Princeton area.\nIn the Eastern Mineral Survey District the drop in base-metal prices has affected the\ninterest that was being revived in the old Slocan area. However, there are sufficient mineral\nshowings throughout this district to attract attention at almost any time.\nIn the Western Mineral Survey District the most important event of the year was the\ndevelopment in the Zeballos area of the west coast of Vancouver Island. During the coming\nseason a great deal of interest will be shown in lode-gold prospecting and development, not\nonly in the Zeballos area but in other places on the west coast of the Island.\nThe property of Pacific Nickel Mines, Limited, the old B.C. Nickel Mine, has not yet\nbeen brought into production, but the prospects appear brighter than at this time last year.\nGOLD PURCHASING.\nLate in 1935 the Department of Finance, co-operating with the Department of Mines,\nundertook to purchase small lots of placer gold under 2 oz. in weight from the individual\nplacer-miner. The Gold Commissioners throughout the Province have paid a cash price of\n$28 per ounce for clean gold, and have purchased dirty gold and amalgam on a deferred-\npayment basis. During 1936, 1,470 lots of gold were received by the Department through\nthe Gold Commissioners, of an aggregate value of some $50,000. In 1937 purchases increased\nslightly to 1,657 lots, valued at approximately $52,250. The total price paid is almost exactly\nthe same as that received from the Royal Canadian Mint, except for the Mint's handling\ncharges of 1 per cent. Considering that the individual miner has received about $10,000\nto $12,000 more per annum than had he sold through the ordinary channels, this service is\nbelieved to be well justified.\nDEPARTMENT LABORATORIES.\nDuring 1936 the Assay Office was equipped with a new electric furnace and drying-oven\nand other accessories to bring it thoroughly up to date. The laboratories of the Mineralogical\nBranch were equipped for the first time in the history of the Department with the finest\nmicroscopic equipment available. The work of the technical staff, Tjy reason of this new\nequipment, has not only been increased in value, but the Department can offer a greater\nservice to the public in the examination of mill products, etc., than heretofore. The\nlaboratory in 1937 was equipped for research-work in respect to non-metallic and structural\nmaterials, where preliminary investigations may be made preparatory to more intensive work\nin the well-equipped laboratories of the Department of Mines in Ottawa. A 8 REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1937.\nLECTURES TO PROSPECTORS.\nA series of fourteen lectures on geology and mining, prepared by the Provincial Mineralogist in 1934, was again presented during the winter of 1937-38 by the Mining Engineers\nand other instructors at the following centres throughout the Province:\u2014\nBull River Bridge, Burnaby (2), Canyon, Creston, Grand Forks, Greenwood, Kitchener,\nNanaimo, Premier, Princeton, Revelstoke, Slocan, Vancouver (6), Victoria, Wynndel, and\nYahk.\nThe estimated total average attendance at the lectures prior to the completion of the\ncourse was 660. This work was carried out in conjunction with the Department of Education.\nThis series of lectures has been presented for four consecutive seasons, and it is now time\nthat a new course be prepared. It is hoped that a new series of lectures can be prepared for\nthe 1938-39 season. The brochure, \" Elementary Geology Applied to Prospecting,\" is now\nin its second edition of 4,000 copies. It may be obtained from the Department at a nominal\ncharge of 35 cents.\nThe preparation of rock and mineral sets comprising about fifty minerals and rocks\ncommonly found in British Columbia has been going ahead for some time, and distribution\nstarted about the end of 1936. A nominal charge of 50 cents a set is made. Distribution\nhas been confined to residents of British Columbia, as the Department has been unable to\ncope with the demand from other places. However, it is hoped that in the near future this\nrestriction may be raised.\nPLACER-MINING CAMPS.\nThe Provincial Government Department of Labour created in 1935 a plan whereby\nunmarried, physically fit unemployed men between the ages of 21 and 25 years were given\nan opportunity to learn placer-mining. In 1936 the age-limit was reduced, permitting\nyounger men to enrol. Instruction was carried out under the direction of the Chief Mining\nEngineer.\nIn 1937 about 255 young men between the ages of 18 and 25 were given instruction\nin placer-mining, woodcraft, camp cooking, building cabins, whipsawing lumber, etc., during\nthe summer months at the Nanaimo and Emory Creek camps.\nAfter the first training period of six weeks, those who desired to prospect for gold were\ngiven their fare, as well as a grub-stake and a special reduced cost on equipment, to certain\nareas where, in the opinion of the Department, there was a chance of discovering gold.\nA large number of trainees availed themselves of this opportunity, and in the Quesnel\narea, where most of them went, the Department appointed an engineer-overseer familiar\nwith the area to assist them in locating ground, etc. This scheme worked well because the\nresults of the plan were reported to the Department by the engineer; whereas in former\nyears, the trainees were asked to report, and very few of them took the trouble to do this.\nThe thorough training in outdoor work fitted these young men to apply for jobs in the\nmines, of any description, as well as forestry, so that the future holds considerable hope;\nwhereas beforehand the youths had no idea of any occupation outside of city limits.\nSome of the larger mining companies kindly co-operated to the extent of giving some of\nthese young men jobs in the mines and smelters after training, which is one of the main\nobjects of the plan.\nGEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA.\nBy an arrangement made at the time the Province of British Columbia entered Confederation, all geological investigations and mapping in the Province were to be carried on by the\nGeological Survey of Canada; this agreement has been fully adhered to by the Dominion\nGovernment and has proved of great benefit to the mining industry of the Province. Each\nyear several geological parties are kept in the field and in the aggregate a vast amount of\ninformation is made available to the prospector and the mining engineer in the many excellent\nreports and maps covering British Columbia which have been issued by the Geological Survey\nof Canada.\nFor some years a branch office of the Geological Survey has been maintained in Vancouver, where copies of maps and reports on British Columbia can be obtained. The officer\nin charge of the British Columbia office is W. E. Cockfield, and the address is 305 Federal\nBuilding, Vancouver, B.C. THE MINING INDUSTRY. A 9\nIn 1936 a reorganization of several departments in the Federal Government was effected,\nand the Department of Mines and Resources created. One of the main branches of this\nDepartment is that of Mines and Geology, with sub-branches known as the Bureau of Geology\nand Topography and the Bureau of Mines. The Geological Survey of Canada and the\nTopographical Survey are now a part of the Bureau of Geology and Topography. During\nthe season of 1937 the Bureau of Geology and Topography had the following officers employed\non field work in British Columbia:\u2014\nGeological Parties.\n1. F. H. McLearn studied the stratigraphy and fauna of the Triassic in the foot-hills of\nthe Rocky Mountains along Peace River.\n2. E. D. Kindle examined the mineral deposits north of Hazelton, in an area tributary\nto the Prince Rupert branch of the Canadian National Railways.\n3. J. E. Armstrong completed the mapping of the geology of the west half of the Fort\nFraser map-area (longs. 125\u00b0-126\u00b0, lats. 54\u00b0-55\u00b0).\n4. J. G. Gray completed the mapping of the geology of the east half of the Fort Fraser\nmap-area (longs. 124\u00b0-125\u00b0, lats. 54\u00b0-55\u00b0).\n5. A. H. Lang completed the mapping of the Keithley Creek area (longs. 121\u00b0-121\u00b0 30',\nlats, 52\u00b0 45-53\u00b0) and of the Swift River area (longs. 121\u00b0 30-122\u00b0, lats 52\u00b0 45-53\u00b0).\n6. C. E. Cairnes began detailed study and mapping of the Tyaughton area, Bridge River\ndistrict.\n7. H. M. A. Rice continued the study and mapping of the east half Nelson map-area\n(longs. 116\u00b0-117\u00b0, lats. 49\u00b0-50\u00b0).\n8. D. A. McNaughton completed the study and mapping of the Hedley map-area (longs.\n120\u00b0-120\u00b0 30', lats. 49\u00b0 15'-49\u00b0 30').\n9. W. E. Cockfield assisted by W. E. Snow commenced study and mapping in the Hope\narea (longs. 120\u00b0-122\u00b0, lats. 49\u00b0-50\u00b0).\nTopographical Parties.\nC. H. Smith and R. J. Parlee mapped an area of 132 square miles, including Hudson Bay\nMountain, for publication on a scale of 1 inch to 1 mile with 100-foot contours.\nC. H. Smith and R. J. Parlee mapped, for publication on 1 inch to 4 miles with 500-foot\ncontours, 75 per cent, of the Tatlatui sheet (lats. 56\u00b0-57\u00b0, longs. 126\u00b0-128\u00b0).\nH. A. S. West and K. G. Francis mapped 22 per cent, of the Nass River sheet (lats. 56\u00b0-\n57\u00b0, longs. 128\u00b0-130\u00b0) for publication on 1 inch to 4 miles with 500-foot contours.\nN. E. McConnell mapped 2,400 square miles included in the Big Bend area for publication\non 1 inch to 4 miles with 500-foot contours.\nMETHOD OF COMPUTING PRODUCTION.\nThe total mine output of the Province consists of the outputs of metalliferous minerals,\ncoal, structural materials, and miscellaneous metals, minerals, and materials, valued at standard recognized prices in Canadian funds.\nIn the Annual Report for 1925 some changes were made in the methods used in previous\nyears in computing and valuing the products of the industry, but in order to facilitate comparisons with former years the same general style of tables was adhered to. The methods\nused in the 1925 Annual Report have been followed in subsequent Annual Reports, with the\naddition of new tables.\nThe following notes explain the methods used:\u2014\n(1.) From the certified returns of lode mines of ore and concentrate shipments made during the full calendar year by the producers the net recovered metal contents have been determined by deducting from the \" assay value content \" necessary corrections for smelting and\nrefining losses.\nIn making comparisons of production figures with previous years, it should be remembered that prior to 1925 in the Annual Reports the total metal production, with the exception\nof copper, was determined by taking the assay value content of all ores shipped; \u201e deductions\nfor slag losses were made by taking varying percentages off the metal prices.\n(2.) Gold-placer returns are received from operators giving production in crude ounces\nrecovered; these are converted to fine-gold ounces by dividing the crude-ounce value by the A 10 REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1937.\nold standard price of gold. The fine-gold content is then valued at the yearly average price\nof gold, which in 1936 was $35.03 per ounce. On this basis the average crude-gold value per\nounce was $28.80 on Provincial placer-gold production.\n(3.) The prices used in valuing the different metals are: For gold, the average price for\nthe year; for silver, the average New York metal-market price for the year; for lead, the\naverage London metal-market price for the year; and for zinc, the average London metal-\nmarket price for the year. As in 1936, copper in 1937 is valued at the average London metal-\nmarket price. Prior to 1932 copper was valued at the average New York price. The change\nwas made because very little copper was being marketed in the United States on account of\nhigh tariff charges against importations from foreign countries. The bulk of the lead and\nzinc production of the Province is sold on the basis of the London prices of these metals and\nthey are therefore used. The New York, St. Louis, and Montreal lead- and zinc-market prices\ndiffer materially from the London prices of these metals and are not properly applicable to\nthe valuing of the British Columbia production.\nBy agreement with the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the Provincial Statistical\nBureaus, the following procedure of taking care of the exchange fluctuations has been agreed\nupon:\u2014\n(a.) Silver to be valued at the average New York price, adjusted to Canadian funds\nat the average exchange rate,\n(fe.) Lead, zinc, and copper to be valued at London prices, adjusted to Canadian\nfunds at the average exchange rate.\n(4.) In 1926 a change was made in computing coal and coke statistics. The practice in\nformer years had been to list coal and coke production (in part) as primary mineral production. Only the coke made in bee-hive ovens was so credited; that made in by-product ovens\nwas not listed as coke, but the coal used in making this coke was credited as coal production.\nThe result was that the coke-production figures were incomplete. Starting with the 1926\nAnnual Report, the standard practice of the Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa, has been adopted.\nThis consists of crediting all coal produced, including that used in making coke, as primary\nmine production. Coke-making is considered a manufacturing industry. As it is, however,\nof interest to the mining industry, a table included in the Report shows the total coke produced\nin the Province, together with by-products, and the values given by the producers. This\nvaluation of coke is not, of course, included in the total gross mine production of the Province.\nFrom 1918 to 1930 coal production was valued at $5 per long ton. In 1931 the price used\nwas $4.50, and from 1932 on the price used has been $4.25 per long ton.

Dividends paid by the Howe Sound Company are therefore derived from all\noperations, and in the foregoing table the dividends credited to the Britannia mine have been paid by the Britannia\nMining and Smelting Company, Limited, none being credited subsequent to 1930. In making comparison with yearly\ntotals the amounts credited to the Howe Sound Company have been deducted for the years shown, so the total in the\nannual report concerned will show the higher figure.\nt The amount shown to the credit of the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting, and Power Company, Limited,\ndoes not include the sum of $6,749,996 paid by the company during 1935 and 1936 as a distribution or repayment of\ncapital, subsequent to the closing-down of its operations at Anyox and the company going into voluntary liquidation.\nOperations ceased at Anyox in August, 1935. The company since that date has revived its business charter and is\nconducting operations at Allenby, B.C.\nThe term \" Miscellaneous \" noted in each class of dividend covers all payments of $5,000 and under, together with\npayments made by companies or individuals requesting that the item be not disclosed.\nIn compiling the foregoing table of dividends paid, the Department wishes to acknowledge the kind assistance\ngiven by companies, individuals, and trade journals in giving information on the subject.
