Walker.\nThe value of mine production in 1938 was $64,485,551, a decrease of $1,990,351 from 1937.\nThe decrease is due largely to the return to normal of base-metal prices. This is shown\nclearly in the case of lead and zinc, where the volume changes are slight but the decrease in\nvalue amounts to about 35 per cent. All phases of the industry, except clay products, showed\ndecreases.\nLead production of 412,979,182 lb., though only slightly below the 1937 volume record,\ndecreased in value from the all-time value record of $21,416,949 to $13,810,024.\nZinc production again established a record for volume with a production of 298,497,295\nlb., but the value decreased from $14,274,245 to $9,172,825.\nCoal, valued at $5,565,069, shows a decrease of 9.4 per cent, from the 1937 value.\nCopper production increased in volume by 42.8 per cent, to 65,769,906 lb., but, due to\nlower prices, the value increased only 8.9 per cent, to $6,558,575. Production of this metal\nhas made a very healthy recovery and is now about normal.\nSilver production at 10,861,578 oz. is 4 per cent, below the record volume production of\n1937, and the value of $4,722,288 is 6.8 per cent. less.\nNon-metallic minerals and structural materials, taken in groups, show two losses to one\ngain, with individual items showing substantial gains or losses. There has been a steady\nimprovement in these groups during the past few years, but 1938 shows the first set-back.\nIndividual items indicate an increase in ordinary building activity and a decrease in heavier\nconstruction.\nThe total number of shipping-mines increased from 185 to 211, those shipping 100 tons\ndecreased from 113 to 92.\nThe number of men employed decreased slightly from 16,129, last year's record, to 16,021;\nbut wages and salaries increased from $21,349,690 to $22,791,685, the greatest amount ever\npaid out in any year.\nDividends decreased from the all-time record in 1937 of $15,085,293 to $11,992,316. These\nfigures do not include dividends paid by the Howe Sound Mining Company, parent company\nof the Britannia Mining and Smelting Company, and the latter figure does not include dividends paid by Premier Gold Mining Company, Limited.\nGENERAL SITUATION.\nAt the first of the year it appeared that volume and value production for 1938 would\nshow some variation in individual items from that of 1937, but that the gross value would be\nabout the same.\nAt the time of writing the situation does not appear to be quite so bright, as base-metal\nprices, particularly lead and zinc, have shown no tendency to improve and are averaging\nconsiderably below 1938 prices. Any appreciation that may take place before the end of the\nyear can hardly be expected to raise prices for lead and zinc to the levels of last year.\nIt is anticipated lode gold may show a slight increase in volume. Increased production,\nparticularly from Vancouver Island, is being offset to a large extent by decreased production\nfrom the Kootenays.\nPlacer gold should show a slight increase in value and it is anticipated that considerable\ntesting and development of placer properties will be undertaken during the year.\nIndications to date are that silver production will be substantially below that of last year,\nand while it is impossible to predict what may happen to the price for the metal, it is apparent\nthat if the price holds the value production will be materially less.\nCopper production should show a slight gain in volume but, unless the price of the metal\nrecovers from its recent break, no increase in value is anticipated.\nLead production is expected to show a substantial decrease in volume and, unless the\nprice of the metal improves to a greater extent than can be anticipated, there will be another\nappreciable decrease in the value production of this metal. A 6 REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1938.\nZinc production is likely to show an appreciable decrease in volume and, like lead, a substantial decrease in value.\nThe value of coal production is expected to be about the same as in 1938.\nStructural materials will likely have about the same value as last year.\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 production may be about $5,000,000\nless than in 1938, the industry, in so far as employment and supplies are concerned, will have\nhad a very good 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. Purchases of gold have increased from 1,470 lots in 1936, valued at some\n$50,000, to 2,397 lots in 1938, valued at approximately $72,000. The total price paid has been\nalmost exactly the same as that received from the Royal Canadian Mint, except for the Mint's\nhandling charge of 1 per cent. This purchasing scheme has returned to the individual miners\nfrom $10,000 to $15,000 per annum more than if they had sold through the ordinary channels.\nLECTURES TO PROSPECTORS.\nA series of fourteen lectures prepared by the Deputy Minister of Mines in 1934 was again\ngiven during the winter of 1938-39 by the departmental Mining Engineers and others in\ndifferent centres throughout the Province, as follows: Abbotsford, Kitchener, Nanaimo, Vancouver, Victoria, and Yahk.\nThe total estimated average attendance at the lectures was 264. This work was carried\nout in conjunction with the Department of Education. The brochure entitled \" Elementary\nGeology applied to Prospecting \" was used as a basis for these lectures and copies may be\nobtained from the Department of Mines at the nominal charge of 35 cents. A total of 822 of\nthese books were distributed in 1938.\nProspectors' sets of about fifty rocks and minerals commonly found in British Columbia\nhave been in great demand and 204 sets were distributed throughout the Province at a cost\nof 50 cents per set to the recipient. Requests for these sets have been received from many\nparts of Canada and the United States, but up to the present only those resident in British\nColumbia have been supplied.\nDOMINION-PROVINCIAL MINE TRAINING CAMPS.\nThe Dominion and Provincial Departments of Labour carried on the plan created in\nformer years, whereby young unemployed men between the ages of 20 and 25 years were given\nan opportunity to learn the general rudiments of mining and prospecting. Instruction was\ncarried out under the direction of the Chief Mining Engineer.\nThis plan was a departure from the one followed in former years, which embraced placer-\nmining only, inasmuch that between fifty and sixty trainees, out of 125 instructed, who passed\ntheir examinations on subjects taught them at Emory Creek, were sent to Quesnel Forks in\nthe Cariboo district for a further three months' training under practical instructors. The\nQuesnel Forks area had already been reported upon and mapped by the Geological Survey of\nCanada, so the trainees could familiarize themselves with the different types of rocks, etc.,\nand learn how to explore a mineral deposit. In addition some placer-mining was done and\nrecoveries made.\nDuring the winter the metal-mine operators kindly co-operated with the Departments\nand gave jobs to about thirty trained young men. About fifteen more were able to obtain\npositions throughout the Province as a result of this training.\nSAMPLING PLANT, PRINCE RUPERT.\nIn 1937 a sampling plant was built on the waterfront at Prince Rupert and put into\noperation on August 20th. The object in erecting a sampling plant at this point was chiefly\nfor the purpose of stimulating prospecting and the development of properties along the Prince THE MINING INDUSTRY. A 7\nRupert branch of the Canadian National Railway. The sampling plant was erected on the\nCoast so that full advantage could be taken of special freight rates arranged especially for\nshipments of ore to the plant.\nThe sampling plant is, as its name implies, only a sampling plant and not a concentrator.\nOres containing sufficient value to ship direct to the smelter are purchased and assembled at\nthe plant until sufficient tonnage is accumulated to warrant shipment to the smelter. By\nmixing lots at the plant it is possible also to reduce smelter penalties on individual shipments\nand so give the prospector the benefit of a mixed lot.\nThe plant may also be used by those developing properties for the purpose of bulk-\nsampling.\nFor the calendar year 1938, 161 lots, comprising 24 tonnage lots for shipment, 90 lots for\nbulk test-sampling, and 47 lots for assay were received at the plant. These lots aggregated\n104 tons and, including shipments to the plant late in 1937, 148 tons were shipped to the\nsmelter, for which $7,536,75 was received as against $7,685.24 paid out by the plant.\nThis plant is serving its purpose and is stimulating prospecting and development of small\nproperties to a greater extent than for many years. A full report on the sampling plant is\ncontained in Part B.\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\nby the Geological Survey of Canada; this agreement has been fully adhered to by the\nDominion of Canada and has proved of great benefit to the mining industry of the Province.\nEach year several geological parties are kept in the field and in the aggregate a vast amount\nof information is made available to the prospector and the mining engineer in the many excellent reports and maps covering British Columbia which have been issued by the Geological\nSurvey of 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.\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 Topographical Survey are now a part of the Bureau of Geology and Topography. During the\nseason of 1937 the Bureau of Geology and Topography had the following officers employed on\nfield-work in British Columbia:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nGeological Parties.\n1. J. E. Armstrong and J. G. Gray commenced the study and mapping of the geology of\nHazelton map-area, west half (latitude 55\u00C2\u00B0 to 56\u00C2\u00B0, longitude 127\u00C2\u00B0 to 128\u00C2\u00B0).\n2. E. D. Kindle examined mineral properties tributary to the Canadian National Railways in the vicinity of Hazelton.\n3. A. H. Lang commenced the study and mapping of the geology of Smithers map-area,\neast half (latitude 54\u00C2\u00B0 to 55\u00C2\u00B0, longitude 126\u00C2\u00B0 to 127\u00C2\u00B0).\n4. C. H. Crickmay studied and mapped the geology of Quesnel Lake map-area, west half\n(latitude 52\u00C2\u00B0 30' to 52\u00C2\u00B0 45', longitude 121\u00C2\u00B0 15' to 121\u00C2\u00B0 30').\n5. H. M. A. Rice completed the study and mapping of the geology of Nelson map-area,\neast half (latitude 49\u00C2\u00B0 to 50\u00C2\u00B0, longitude 116\u00C2\u00B0 to 117\u00C2\u00B0).\n6. W. E. Snow continued the study and mapping of the geology of Hope map-area, west\nhalf (latitude 49\u00C2\u00B0 to 50\u00C2\u00B0, longitude 121\u00C2\u00B0 to 122\u00C2\u00B0).\n7. M. F. Bancroft studied the geology and mineral deposits of Zeballos area, Vancouver\nIsland.\n8. F. H. McLearn completed stratigraphical and faunal studies in Peace River district.\nTopographical Parties.\nC. H. Smith and R. J. Parlee continued the mapping of the Tatlatui sheet (94 D) (latitudes 56\u00C2\u00B0 to 57\u00C2\u00B0, longitudes 126\u00C2\u00B0 to 128\u00C2\u00B0). A 8 REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1938.\nH. A. S. West mapped the east half of the Nelson sheet (82 F/6) (latitudes 49\u00C2\u00B0 15' to\n49\u00C2\u00B0 30', longitudes 117\u00C2\u00B0 00' to 117\u00C2\u00B0 15').\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:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\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; 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\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 the\nvaluing 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:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n(a.) Silver to be valued at the average New York price, adjusted to Canadian funds\nat the average exchange rate.\n(6.) 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 valuation 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\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0was $4.50, and from 1932 on the price used has been $4.25 per long ton. In making comparisons with former years the decline in dollar value is accentuated by this lowered price. THE MINING INDUSTRY. A 9\nINDEX TO TABLES.\nTitle.

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. Dividends paid by Premier Gold Mining Company, Limited,\nare derived from operations in British Columbia and other countries, and so cannot now be credited to British\nColumbia. Silbak Premier is a subsidiary of Premier Gold Mining Company, and dividends paid by that company\nare, of course, included in Provincial totals.\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.
