These, and\nother questions relating to provincial\niion-nietallics, are to be Investigated\nby the department of mines, according to ti Statement made yesterday by\nHon. w. a. MoKensie, minister of\nmines.\nlit was announced by Mr. MoKenzie\nthat A. M. Richmond, assistant resident engineer Bt Nelson, bad lioeu re-\nI'efised temporarily from his regular\nduties under the mineral survey and\ndevelopment act and instructed to undertake a study of these questions.He\nIs to assemble all information avi liable, look into problems having to do\nwth the treatment of various materials in their preparation for the market, and compile a report for general\ndistribution, under the supervision of\nJ. D. Galloway, provincial mineralogist.\nln expli lining has objective, Mr. Mc-\nKenzie said that, while there was a\nconsiderable production of non-nietaP\nHe minerals as structural materials,\nIt was believed that an Intensive\nstudy would reveal possibilities for\nthe further utilization of non-metallic\nmineral deposits of the province. The\npresent extent of the industry i s\nshown by the fact that struetur;|l ma\nterlals putput in 1930 amounted to\n$4,092,568 and in additionother non-\nmetallic - minerals produced were\nvalued at $436,234, making a total of\n$4,528,802, or 8.2 per cent of the\ngross fKlue of the mineral output for\nthe year. Coal is, of course, not considered in these figures, pointed out\nMr. McKenzie, ias although it is\nstrictlk speaking r| non-metallic mineral, it Is considered as a separate\ncIusb of mining by Itself.\nln the literature available there ls\nmuch Information about the known\nnon-metallic mineral deposits of the\nprovince . investigations have been\ncarried out by the Dominion mines\nbr;|nqh on braisives, clays, diatomlte,\nbuilding stone, etc., and further information is contained In the geological survey reports and the departmental annual reports.\nThe present investigation will compile the available information and\nsupplement it with further field work\niand testing of samples of the various\ndeiposits. ln addition, it Is planned to\nmi|ke a survey of the markets to ascertain if British Columbia minerals\nare available to replace those i m-\nported either in raw or manufacture*]\nform. Tho production of ordinary\nstructural materials Is well taken\ncare of ln the province, but Mr. Mc-\nie pictures ahowt\nubove: the new Lakeside\nInn, the C.P.R. hotel at\nYarmouth, N.S.l centre:\nthe bathing pool tn th*\ngrounds of the Pines\nHotel, Dlaby, N.S.t and\nhelowt the Algonquin\nHotel at St. Andrawa-by-\nthe-Sea Inaati a typical\neatlafted Junior patron of\nMaritime eee, asind and\neslnehlna.\nSu nshine an d gleam\ning sands!

All along\ntho beautiful coast\nof Nova Scotia are\ncountless watering\nplaces, whose names\nhave become household words among\nlovers of the seaside. Excellent\nhotels are at the disposal of\nvisitors and the shoreward\nscene is no less lovely than its\nmarine companion. The Annapolis Valley needs no Introduction to Canadians or to its\ncountless American visitors. It\nhas been rightly-called Canada's\nDevon, with its flourishing\norchards and pasture lands and \t\nits countless picturesque farms\nand hamlets. A few hours journey by palatial steamer from Saint John, N.B., Digby, with its Pines Hotel as the\nhub of activity, rivals Kentville with its Cornwallis Inn, and Yarmouth with its new Lakeside Inn, in extending\nhospitality to the holiday-seeker. Golf, tennis, bathing,- fishing, yachting and innumerable beautiful motor\ndrives are only a lew of tne recreations available. On the New Brunswick mainland, father, as it were, to this\nstalwart family, the Algonquin Hotel, at St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, sets-a standard of summering unrivalled anywhere on the continent. The luxurious hotel, with its many attached cottages, is the centre of one of the most\nexclusive colonies of the Dominion. The golf links, known throughout the length and breadth of thc country as\none of the finest championship courses available, are meet namesake of the home of the royal and ancient game\nit> old Scotland. The Canadian Pacific Railway places all theae resorts within easy access oi their many devotees.\nKenzie considers thut there are ear\ntain ifctlvitics that may lie stimulated by he present investigation. There\ni\u00ab also a market outside British Columbia for certain high grade non-\nmetallic minerals and attention will\nlie directed to determine if any of\ntlie British Columbia deposit^ arc of\nthe requisite purity. The relationship\nbetween the extent of the use of tho\nttuon-metallics and the growth of general industry was closer, perhiflis,\nthan it wag ta respect of the prodUi\nals.\nAsked to state what non-m#talUca\nwould be Included In tlie IhfeStigJB\nlion ordered, Mr. McKenste said that\nno limit hud been set to .Mr. Rich\nniond's activities. His studies. lie,.'\never, would Include broadly the\nwhole of non-metallic minerals, hut\nsvith investigation of special fe\u00bb|ture\u00bb\nrather than a general survey.\nTo atccompllsfa this a iirst essential was the obtaining of authentic in\nformation regarding those materials,\nthe probable tonnage possessed by do-1\nposits, their location and Qbjslracter,\ntheir suitability for different forms ol\nindustry and the markets available\nunder present conditions. So inucii\nscientific had been made in recent\nyears In the application of non-metal\nHe, us Well as metallic, resources to\nthe common needs of mankind that it\nwas dillicult to overestimate the possible value of tile work on which .Mr.\nRichmond was engagctd to the Industrial welfare of British Columbia.\nMr. McKenzie appreciates that It Is\na large undertaking, in all probability\nlt would not be completed inside of a\nyear. His hope, however, was that it\nwould be possible for Mr. Richmond\nto submit progress reports from time\nto time. If so, those would be Issued\nas such .Jul given genera,! distribution all of those who may be interested.\nMr. McKenzie concluded by explaining that Mr, Richmond's work might\nbe facilitated, and generally made\nmuch more valuable, if lie were accorded the cooperation of those at j\npresent identified with industry l.viscd\non the uso of non-metallic substances,\nHe trusted that all in this position,\nresizing that the investigation has\nbeen set on foot In the public interest, will accord all the assistance in\ntheir power.\nProspectors and owners of non-\nmetallic deppslls -which- they think\nmay be of value are requested to\nforward samples iand descriptive information ou the same to tho bureau\nof mines it Vltoria.\nHenry Ford'\nHas a Vision\nPeter Veregin\nBlames Sons\nOf Freedom\nWINNIPEG, June -,.
