J 3 REPORT OF CHIEF INSPECTOR OF MACHINERY. New Westminster B. C, January 1st, 1905. The Honourable the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works. Sir,—I have the honour to submit to you the following report of the operations of the steam boilers and machinery inspection service for the year ending December 31st, 1904 :— The personnel of the service at the end of the year consisted of the Chief Inspector, four District Inspectors and one clerk, located as follows:—Chief Inspector, Inspector of District " A " and clerk in New Westminster ; Inspector of District " B " at Victoria ; Inspector of District " C " in Nelson; and Inspector of District " D " in Vancouver. The work in this office has been carried on in the same manner as in former years. The Inspector of District " A," being located here, attends to part of my work while I am holding examinations, etc., in other Disticts, and, if he is not available, I attend to part of his work. On this account the whole of the letters inward are included in the summary below :— Results op Examinations. Class. No. Examined. Passed. Failed. First , .

A comparison of the Inspectors' reports will show that the new arrangement of districts has worked out very satisfactorily, the number of complete inspections, the mileage, the total horse-powers and fees earned being fairly equal in each district. The present arrangement for districts is as follows :— District " A," with headquarters at New Westminster, including New Westminster City and a greater part of the Lower Mainland (with the exception of Vancouver City), the main line of the C. P. R. to Laggan, including the following Mining Divisions :—New Westminster, Yale, Similkameen, Vernon, Kamloops, Ashcroft, Lillooet, Lardeau, Revelstoke, Illecillewaet and Golden. The boundaries are as follows:—Commencing at the International Boundary Line near Campbell River; thence following the coast line to the eastern boundary of Vancouver City ; thence along the south and east boundary line of Vancouver City to Moodyville ; thence along the boundary line of the New Westminster Assessment District in a northerly direction to Six-Mile Creek; thence along Daisy, Green, Anderson and Seton Lakes to Lillooet; thence along the southern and eastern boundary line of the Lillooet Assessment J 4 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. 1905 District to the boundary line of the Quesnel Assessment District; thence in an easterly direction along the boundary line of the Quesnel Assessment District to the eastern boundary line of British Columbia; thence in a southerly direction along the boundary line of the Golden Mining Division to the head of Beaver Creek; thence along the boundary line of Illecillewaet and Lardeau Mining Divisions in a southerly direction to Halcyon Hot Springs ; thence in a westerly direction to the boundary line of the Vernon Mining Division ; thence along this boundary line to the boundary line of the Similkameen Mining Division; thence in a southerly direction along said boundary line to the International Boundary Line; thence in a westerly direction along the International Boundary Line to the point of commencement. District " B," with headquarters at Victoria, including the whole of Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands south-east of Nanaimo, the west coast of the Mainland above Seymour Inlet and the Atlin District. The boundaries are as follows :—From Victoria along the west coast of Vancouver Island, including Queen Charlotte Islands, to the United States boundary line; thence along said boundary line to the boundary line of the North-West Territories; thence in an easterly direction to the boundary line of the Liard Mining Division ; thence along said boundary line to the boundary line of the Omineca Mining Division; thence along this boundary line in a southerly direction to the boundary line of the Cariboo Mining Division; thence along the western boundary line of the Cariboo Mining Division to the boundary line of the Quesnel Mining Division; thence in an easterly direction along said boundary line to the boundary line of the Clinton Mining Division ; thence in a southerly direction along said boundary line to the northern boundary line of the Nanaimo Mining Division; thence in a south-easterly direction following said boundary line to Queen Charlotte Sound; thence along New Channel, George Passage, Johnson Straits, Straits of Georgia and Haro Strait to point of commencement. District " C," with headquarters at Nelson, includes the Kootenay, part of Yale, Cariboo, Omineca and part of Cassiar Districts. The boundaries are as follows :—Commencing at the International Boundary Line at the south-west corner of Osoyoos Mining Division; thence along the south-east boundary of District " A" to the boundary line of British Columbia; thence in a south-easterly direction along said boundary line to the International Boundary Line; thence along this boundary line in a westerly direction to the point of commencement. Also, from Cache Creek along the boundary line of the Clinton Mining Division in a westerly direction to the boundary line of District " B" near Tatla Lake; thence in a northerly direction along the eastern boundary line of District " B " to the boundary line of the North-west Territories ; thence along said boundary line in an easterly and southerly direction to the boundary line of District " A " at Golden Mining Division ; thence along the north-east boundary line of District "A" to the point of commencement. District " D," with headquarters at Vancouver, including Vancouver City, Gulf Islands and coast of Mainland above Nanaimo, with boundaries as follows :—Commencing at the south-east corner of the City of Vancouver, proceeding in an easterly direction to the western boundary line of District " B "; thence along this boundary line in a northerly direction to the boundary of Clinton Mining Division near Tatla Lake; thence in a south-westerly direction along this boundary line to the north-east boundary of District "A" at Cache Creek ; thence in a southerly direction along said boundary line to the point of commencement. These boundaries were decided upon after carefully considering the number of steam plants, and the facilities for reaching same with the least possible expense. The work in all the districts has gone along very smoothly during the year, and I am very pleased to be able to report that there have been no boiler explosions, and few accidents of a minor nature. The steam plants that have been inspected in previous years are in very much better condition than formerly. The summary of total defects observed is, however, much larger than last year, as the rearranging of the districts, and having an additional inspector, allowed all the men to broaden their field of action and examine plants which it had heretofore been impossible to reach in all districts. These first inspections largely increased the number of defects observed. There have been four accidents resulting in personal injury not fatal and one resulting fatally. The latter occurred in Vancouver where an engineer, while attempting to put a belt on a pully while the machinery was in motion, became entangled in the belt and was so badly injured that he died shortly afterwards. Three of the accidents, not resulting fatally, occurred in District " B," and one in District " D." 5 Ed. 7 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. J 5 The testing of plates, to be used in boiler construction, has again resulted in about 10 per cent, of the the total number being rejected, which is about the same as the figures of the last two years. The number of new boilers installed was much less than last year, being only 86, as the. logging camps, which had largely added to the number, were pretty well equipped at the commencement of the year, and there were also 43 second-hand boilers installed this year as against 16 in 1903. During this year we have made 1,102 complete inspections, 266 of these being first inspections. During the year 44 boilers have been taken out of service, leaving 1,711 on our report books, of which we were able to inspect 1,102. We have also located 197 boilers on which inspection has not been made at any time, making a grand total of 1,908 as against 1,823, leaving at the end of December 806 boilers on which no inspection has been made during the year. A number of these boilers, of course, have not been in operation. The fees collected are very much in excess of those collected in 1903, as we had the benefit of a full year's work from the new inspector, as against six months in last report. The total mileage is slightly less than last year. The District Inspector's reports show that there have been some cases of careless fitting up of steam plants at the commencement of the season, after a shut down. Pipes leading to the bottom of the water gauge have been put through the smoke box where they would be subjected to the action of the products of combustion, steam was thereby generated in the pipes, forcing the water in the glass to a level above that in the boiler. Another serious case, in District " C," was that of an inexperienced and careless man placing a stop valve between the boiler and the safety valve. As this man had no certificate, we were not able to deal with him any further than to request his dismissal. It seems that, in such cases above mentioned, the owners! of the plants, although realising that a certificated man must be employed to operate the plant, appear to think that anyone can do the erecting and fitting up. A number of cases also occur in which, as soon as the plant ceases operation at the end of the season, the certificated man is dismissed, the boilers are cleaned and the plant laid up by an inexperienced man with results that, before commencing work next season, it is found that the boilers have been seriously injured by corrosion during the period of rest. Several cases, resulting in serious damage to the boilers, have occurred through allowing night-watchmen to start fires in the morning without ascertaining whether there was water in the boiler. There have been two cases where the boiler sheets were ruptured as a result of allowing large quantities of scale to remain in the boiler directly over the fire. One of these being where scale solvent was used, the scale being rapidly removed from the tubes and upper parts of the boiler and deposited at the bottom just above the fire. The other case was where the boiler was removed from one district to another, the change of water causing action similar to above. The inspection of the steam plants at the coast logging camps involves excessive loss of time waiting for steamers, and it would, perhaps, be well to consider some better arrangement for making these inspections next year. In conclusion, I desire to thank you for the patient and careful consideration of all matters in connection with this Department during the year, and for your active support of this office in its efforts to improve the administration of the steam boilers and machinery inspection service. I also wish to thank the members of the staff for the able and efficient manner in which they have performed their duties. The satisfaction frequently expressed by the steam users is largely due to the District Inspectors' careful and conscientious performance of their work. There is attached hereto, for your examination, a report of the total work done, the total defects observed, with the number considered dangerous, and also copies of reports from the District Inspectors to the Chief Inspector of Machinery, which give in detail the important items that have come under their notice during the calander year ending December 31st, 1904.

J 8 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. 190c REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER EXAMINER. The Honourable the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works, Victoria, B. C. : Sir,—I have the honour to submit to you the following report with respect to examinations of candidates for engineers' certificates for the year ending December Slst, 1904 :— During the past year I have received 314 applications for Certificates of Competency, and 12 for re-examination; on December 31st, 1903, I had 379 applications on file, making a total of 705. Of these, 329 have been examined, 5 re-examined, 36 applicants have had their fees returned, as they had not the practical qualifications required by the Act, and I have still on file 328 applications for examination and 7 for re-examination, total 335. For temporary certificates 35 applicants have been examined; 33 have passed and 2 failed. For service certificates, series 1 and 2, one examination each, both passing. These applications were made during 1902. Applications under service certificates, amendment 1904, total 104, of which 89 were accepted and 15 rejected, not having practical experience as required by the Act. I have held examinations in Victoria, Vancouver, New Westminster, Nanaimo, Cumberland, Nelson, Greenwood, Cranbrook, Fernie, Revelstoke and Vernon. In these examinations I was assisted by the Inspector of the Districts in which the examinations were held. In addition to the above, the Inspectors have held examinations as follows :—Inspector District " A " at New Westminster ; Inspector District " B " at Atlin, Port Essington, Naas, Alberni, Port Renfrew, Lowe Inlet, Victoria, Mount Sicker, Salt Spring Island, Texada Island, Ladysmith, Nanaimo, Cumberland, Ganges Harbour, Fulford, Crofton, Duncans and Westj holme ; Inspector District " C " at Nelson. Examination fees collected by the Chief Inspector, $1,655.50; Inspector District " B," $107.50; Inspector District "C," $87.50; total, $1,850.50. As there are no regulations respecting the number of engineers required for the large plants which, in some cases, comprise a number of separate units, I have given the following rulings for the guidance of the Inspectors : — Ruling No. 3, re Chief Engineers. "The chief engineer of a steam plant must be in possession of a certificate of the grade required to cover the horse-power and type of plant, as per sections 35 and 44 of the ' Steam Boilers Inspection Act, 1901,' and the amendment Acts of 1902 and 1904, and if any steam plant consists of separate units, or if, for any other valid reason, the chief engineer cannot remain in the immediate vicinity, an engineer holding a certificate one grade lower than the chief engineer shall be employed, and shall be called the second engineer." Ruling No. 4, re Second Engineers. " The second engineer may operate a steam plant, or any part of the same, at any time under a chief engineer if he holds a certificate not less than one grade lower than that required for the chief engineer, as per ruling No. 3. The services performed by a second engineer, holding the certificate required by this ruling, shall be taken as qualifying time using the total horse-power if he is in charge of the whole plant during his watch, or using the horse-power of a unit if he is in charge of a unit only." The object of the above rulings being to have the same person, who is responsible to the owners for the general supervision and repairs of the plant, also responsible as chief engineer to this Department, thereby avoiding difficulties that existed when there were several engineers in charge of the different units composing plants, such as those at mines and large mills, who considered that they were each directly accountable to the Government for the safe equipment and operation of their part of the machinery, and were independent of the owner's representative. 5 Ed. 7 * Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. J 9 Ruling No. 5, re Temporary Certificates. " Temporary certificates may be granted to operate any steam plant under the provisions of sections 35, 36, 38 and 44 of the ' Steam Boilers Inspection Act, 1901,' and section 1 of the Regulations relating to the examination of engineers, but the applicant must produce testimonials showing that he has had the practical experience, which, together with the twelve months that a temporary certificate permits him to operate, would qualify him to sit for examination for a certificate of competency of the grade required for future operation of the same plant. He must also produce a letter from the owner of the steam plant, or his agent, showing that it is the wish of the owner to employ the applicant if he can get a temporary certificate." The object of the ruling re temporary certificates is to get uniformity in all Inspection Districts, and to avoid the difficulty of having to ask an engineer to discontinue operating, after he has been in charge of a steam plant for twelve months, because he has not enough practical experience to apply for a certificate of competency of the grade required. With respect to the examinations, I am pleased to report that the attendance of candidates, when notified, has been much better than last year, and there is also an improvement in the work done at the examinations. The number of steam users who have employed engineers without certificates, expecting that these men would be able to obtain them at once, has been much less than last year, although there have still been enough to cause considerable trouble. In some cases it is quite possible that certificated men were not obtainable, but as the number of properly qualified men is considerably increasing, I hope that these difficulties will practically disappear during the coming year. On account of applications for certificates being received very much faster than I can examine the applicants, as will be shown by the number of forms at present on file, I have felt bound to continue the issuance of permits to operate until the next examination; but in order to reduce the number of these permits, I have held a great many individual examinations in this office, and hope during 1905 to hold more, with a view of still further reducing the permits. I also hope to be able to devote more time to the general examinations in order to diminish the number of applications on file. Trusting that this report will meet with your approval, and that the rulings, if approved, may, with such alterations as may be deemed advisable, be embodied in the Regulations at as early a date as possible. I have, etc., (Signed) John Peck, Chief Engineer Examiner. J 10 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. 1905 INSPECTOR'S REPORT, DISTRICT "A. New Westminster, B. C, January 1st, 1905. John Peck, Esq., Chief Inspector of Steam Boilers, New Westminster. Sir,—I have the honour to submit to you my annual report for the year ending December 31st, 1904. Comparing the work done with that of last year, it will be noticed that the inspections and collections are considerably less this year. This is due to last year's change in the districts, Vancouver City being transferred to District " D," and, in lieu of this, the Similkameen, Okanagan, Nicola Valleys and the main line from Kamloops to Laggan have been added to my district. This has increased the distance travelled in this district by two-thirds over last year. The plants are principally portable sawmills and threshing machines of small horse-power. I have endeavoured to inspect all plants in the new district, but have not succeeded; there are still about 100 boilers now due for inspection. During the month of September I accompanied the Chief Inspector on an examination tour, and assisted in holding examinations at Kamloops, Vernon, Revelstoke, Glacier and Golden. I also assisted at different examinations held in head office, New Westminster, during the year. The number of new boilers installed and inspected in this district during the year has decreased by two-thirds, 41 being inspected as against 123 last year. This is principally due to the fact that no boilers are manufactured in this district as against 56, which were built and inspected in Vancouver for other districts last year. The following is a classified list of first inspections in 1904 :— New Boilers. Return tubular built under inspection in British Columbia 5 Verticals i> n n 3 Total 8 Return tubular built under inspection in East 14 Verticals n n n 3 Total 17 Return tubular not built under inspection in East 2 Mumford n n n 1 Total , 3 Total new boilers from East 20 Return tubular from United States America , 2 Verticals n n 3 Locomotive, f. b. n n . 8 Total 13 Total new boilers installed .... 41 5 Ed. 7 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery.

A few of the more important cases are herewith briefly related, and it will be seen that a good many are due to the negligence of the men in charge. On January 2nd I was called to survey a breakdown which happened to a large vertical cross-coupled engine in one of the Vancouver plants. The accident happened while the chief engineer was attending to repairs, which were being executed at one of the machine shops. During his absence it was found necessary to start up the engine. One of the assistants proceeded to do so and opened the throttle valve without first properly draining the steam pipe and receiver, thus admitting an excess of condensed water to cylinder, and as the piston arrived toward the upper end of the stroke it became blocked by the water of condensation before the crank had turned the upper centre, and the momentum of the parts drove the cross- head further on to the taper end of the piston rod, splitting the crosshead boss and breaking the piston before the engine came to a standstill. Substantial repairs were arranged for the crosshead and a new piston ordered. I also reported to the Inspector of District " D," who was absent from Vancouver City when the Occident occurred. Return tubular boiler No. 12 was found with five out of six rivets, that secured the supporting lug to shell, broken. The brick work under this lug had fallen away and allowed the fire to get at the rivet heads, as the boiler was not suspended at either end. There was a possibility of this lug, and the one on the opposite corner, carrying all the weight and so combining to cause the rivet heads to give way. A new lug was put on, and the boiler suspended at one end, so that the strain on each lug could easily be regulated. A very defective water gauge was found connected to a small return tubular boiler. The smoke-box almost covered the entire end of the boiler, and the water and steam connections to gauge came on the inside of the smoke-box so that the pipes, being bare, weresubjected to the direct heat of the flames from the tubes. Steam was generated so rapidly in the water connection pipe that the level in the gauge glass showed from 6" to 8" too high, according to the condition of the fire, and steam bubbles nearly an inch long were constantly circulating up the water glass. The above instance is one of the many which mislead the careless engineer, and is often the cause of loss of life and damage to property. When the above position of connection cannot be avoided the pipes should be completely baffled from the heat. Return tubular boiler No. 349 " A " was severely burned, due to the carelessness of the fireman in not proving that there was sufficient water in the boiler before he started the fires after the usual washout. The boiler was empty, and the fire simply opened up all that portion of the girth seams subjected to the action of the products of combustion and the boiler could not be operated. The case was not reported to this office. The management sent for a boiler maker and had the boiler repaired according to their knowledge of these things. About forty J 12 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. 1905 tubes had been taken out, to allow new rivets to be put in the lower portions of the girth seams. There were not enough new rivets put in, and consequently the sheets were not drawn face to face. When I examined the boiler at the usual time two of the girth seams leaked considerably during the test, about enough to put the fire out, and the foreman, in answer to my questions, admitted what had been done. The new tubes had to be taken out and the work done over again, making it cost twice what it would have done if the repairs in the first place had been directed by an Inspector. During the inspection of a locomotive portable boiler, No. 357, two leaks were discovered coming from under the axle brackets, where they are bolted to the outer walls at firebox end. When the brackets were taken off, it was found that the studs were almost pulled out of the sheet. In the owner's endeavour to keep the bolts tight by screwing them up, he had drawn the sheet up towards the cavity at the back of the bracket. The sheet, being only J" thick, failed, and several cracks developed, radiating from the edge of the holes. Patches were put on and studs put through both outside and firebox plates. A fracture of a serious nature was revealed at the inspection of a vertical flue boiler, No. 517. The furnace crown sheet was slightly dished and insufficiently stayed for the pressure that at one time it had carried. The centre flue landed on the furnace crown, where it was flanged and riveted. The flanging on the flue had, in the first place, been turned over too square at the neck, and the material may have been of poor quality and have been injured in the flanging. This, together with improper staying of the crown sheet, and possibly low water and careless rapid firing when getting up steam, combined to develop the fracture, which was found nearly all the wav around the neck of the root of the flue flange. This boiler was taken out of service, as repairs would cost more than it was worth. At the inspection of a 60" return tubular boiler, No. 419, it was found, on examining the inside, that a good many of the rivet heads on two of the girth seams around the bottom were broken off, and a number more jumped off from slight blows of a hammer. It appears that the boiler was at one time severely burned, and, instead of putting new rivets in, the old ones had been heavily caulked in order to stop the leaks. The tubes were taken out, new rivets put in the lower portions of the girth seams and joints recaulked. A serious accident might have happened through the failure to report such an occurrence. The engineers in a good many cases are to blame, as the owners are very seldom aware of the extent to which an accident of that kind affects the safety of a boiler, and, in order to retain his position and cover up his negligence, the engineer reports that a slight touch with the caulking tool is all that is necessary. As this involves only a slight expenditure on the part of the owner, the engineer gets off with a reprimand. A small return tubular, No. 26, was moved to a different part of the district and set up. The tubes previously had a very heavy scale on them. The boiler was operated about three months previous to my inspection. When it was examined a crack about 4" long in a longitudinal direction was found on the bottom of the back sheet, about three feet from the blow-off, ano] showed about J-" open at centre. The hand-holes were taken off, and right over the crack was found a pile of scale and sediment about a foot high, which had become burned hard to the plate. The change of feed water had evidently loosened the old scale. The hand hole doors had never been taken off when washing out the boiler, and the scale was not discovered until after the damage was done. The boiler was taken out of service. The blow-off pipe on a large return tubular boiler burst, while at a working pressure of about 140 lbs. It blew the fire out so completely that no damage was done to the boiler, no one scalded, but the fireman was badly frightened. While the night watchman was getting up steam on a return tubular boiler, No. 142c, the joint at front hand-hole blew out at about 70 lbs. The rush of water and steam prevented him from drawing the fire in time to save the boiler from injury, and nearly all the rivets and girth seams next the fire were sprung and the tube ends were leaking. After sufficient tubes were removed, new rivets were put in and the joints made good. An old firebox boiler, No. 762, with a circular firebox having a flat crown sheet, was found to be in bad condition. One of the crown stays was broken; the crown sheet was burned and bulged down about f inch between each stay; nearly one-half of the tubes leaked; the bottom of the furnace had been bulged up about 1^ inches with frost, and two bolts had been put through to hold it in place. The neutral sheet under dome was entirely cut away and no compensation made. The boiler was in a very unsafe condition for the pressure it had 5 Ed. 7 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. J 13 been carrying, and, as it was hardly worth repairing, the owner was authorised to use it at 50 lbs. pressure, giving him six months in which to get another. The broken crown stay was to be replaced by a new one. Several mill plants were burned this year, but the boilers escaped injury in three out of the four cases. The plant which suffered most had a battery of four boilers, which were badly damaged and the company are installing new ones. There has been no one injured in this district, to my knowledge, through accident to engine or boiler, during the year, which speaks well for the operation of the Act, compared with what happens annually in some other Provinces. Certified engineers are now more plentiful, and less difficulty is experienced by owners in filling their positions with qualified men, and, as a rule, there is a general desire to comply with the Inspection Act.

John Peck, Esq., Chief Inspector of Machinery, New Westminster. Sir,—I have the honour to submit my report regarding the work done in this district, during the year 1904. Work done for other districts has been comprised mostly in the testing of plates, supervising the construction of boilers and the testing of same at the local works. These, when completed and passed, have been shipped to the other districts, principally District " D." I have made every effort to inspect the various steam plants in all parts of my district, with the result that I inspected the boilers in the following places:—Quatsino, Clayoquot, Uchucklesit, Port Renfrew and Alberni, on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. I also visited Atlin during the year, where there are two saw-mills, electric light plant, steam laundry, brewery and six or eight smaller steam plants on the creeks where gold mining is engaged in. These boilers are used for hoists and steam pumps, and are more likely to decrease than increase in number, as " hydraulicing" seems to be the cheaper method of securing the precious metal. I paid my annual visits to the Naas River Canneries, also those on the Skeena, Rivers Inlet, Lowe Inlet, Namu, Kimsquit and other northern points. At the Finnish Colony at Sointula, I found a large increase in their steam plants. The Colony has now two saw-mills, three logging " donkeys " and, besides, has a well-equiped foundry and other works. The Indians seem also to be developing the commercial instinct, for at Bella Bella they have put up a saw-mill capable of an output of several thousand feet of lumber per day. In two other cases the Indians have shown their enterprise, by going in for steam threshing outfits with which they seem to give satisfaction to the farmers for whom they have worked. The number of steam plants in operation is much the same as last year, for, while some of the metalliferous mines are not in operation, on the other hand there are more saw-mills and canneries in operation, while recently a new industry on the Island has been making extensive preparations to start. I refer to the large cement works built at Tod Inlet, where Portland cement will soon be manufactured. The plant is extensive and "up to date," and has at present a capability of three hundred barrels per day. This can easily be increased to six hundred by adding another calcinator, as ample power has been installed with this in view. These industries must be beneficial to the Province at large, and will provide additional employment for both skilled and unskilled workmen. Having such a large district, and so many steam plants to look after, I do not find time to visit them as often as I should like in the intervals between the annual inspections. These visits, being unexpected, are beneficial to both owners and engineers. The Inspector can be consulted as to repairs and alterations, and his advice frequently proves acceptable ; besides the engineers seem to look to their plants better when they know the Inspector is likely to "drop in" and reprove them if their equipment is not as it should be. On the other hand, it is a help to the vigilant engineer who desires to keep his machinery up to date and efficient, but who may have an employer who is tardy of aiding his endeavours. In that case, a few words of explanation by the Inspector to the owner, and his approval of engineer's requirements, are of benefit to all concerned, by securing some tools or material previously withheld. The engineers still continue to improve, and are more efficient operators, as evinced by the smoother running engines, better kept boilers and equipment and increased output. I am pleased to report that there have not been any serious accidents to the steam plants nor loss of life or limb in this district, in connection with the machinery coming under the jurisdiction of the Inspection Act. I have examined candidates for various grades of certificates at all central, and some outlying points including Atlin, Port Essington, Naas, Alberni, Port Renfrew, Lowe Inlet, Mount J 16 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. 1905 Sicker, Salt Spring Island, Ladysmith, Nanaimo, Cumberland and Victoria. The total number of candidates examined by me personally are appended to this report, with the grades and results. In future I shall not hold so many examinations at the outlying points, as, to reach them, the engineers pass through Vancouver or Victoria, where they can provide themselves with certificates before they go to take charge of the canneries or other steam plants. If they fail more capable men can be sent in their stead, thus obviating inconvenience and expense to all concerned. The logging camps are notable offenders in this respect, and, if the dignity of the law is to be upheld, great improvement in the manner of engaging engineers must take place. It has been brought to my notice that there are stationary engineers' associations forming in all the large centres for educational purposes. This is to be commended, as it is a means for acquiring more extended information by which steam plants can be more efficiently and economically operated. I understand the members bring up for discussion all phenomena relative to the defects or difficulties they meet with in their daily work, thus aiding each other with their experience, and besides developing their reasoning powers and general intelligence, it enables them to guard against similar defects or accidents in the plants they control. By appending the list of candidates and the defects observed in the various steam plants inspected, I complete this report. I have, etc., (Signed) S. Baxter, Inspector of Machinery, District " B."

John Peck, Esq., Chief Inspector of Machinery, New Westminster, B. C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit the following report for the year ending December 31st, 1904 :— During the year I have visited most of the plants in this District, with the exception of the ones that have been closed down. Some of the plants at the mines have not been in use for over a year, many of the smaller mines having been closed down and others having installed electric power to run their machinery. Many small high-grade properties in the Greenwood District have resumed work and are using steam-power. All the saw-mills in this District were in operation most of the summer, and two large new mills have been built, one at Trout Lake and another near Marysville. The machinery for the former was second-hand, with the exception of the boilers, and was brought from the United States. The machinery for the latter is of the most up-to-date style to be had, and was built in the Eastern States. Three saw-mills were burned during the year, one at Marysville, belonging to the St. Mary's River Lumber Co., one at Cranbrook, belonging to the King Lumber Co., and one at Sparwood, belonging to the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co. The boilers at all three mills, with the exception of the mountings, were very little damaged, but all the rest of the machinery was completely destroyed. At the Sparwood mill there was nothing but the boilers left. Only one boiler accident was reported during the year, but accidents to engines were rather more numerous. The chief reason for this is that most of the mills have replaced their old boilers with new ones carrying much higher pressure and are still using their old engines, and, what is worse, their old engine foundations. These foundations were none too good for the pressure carried on the old boilers, and are not massive enough for the pressure now carried. In one plant a horizontal engine with 24" x 30" cylinder was recently installed. Piles were driven on which a foundation of stone and cement was built to support the main bed of the engine. No piles or foundation, with the exception of a 12" x 12" timber, was provided for the outboard bearing, which was not nearly rigid enough for the weight it had to support, and the result was that there was trouble with hot bearings, and, at length, with a broken crank pin. Before the foundation can be fixed part of the building must be removed, so that piles may be driven for the other part of the foundation. Wooden foundations are used for engines in nearly all the saw-mills, although most of the owners acknowledge that a concrete foundation would be cheaper in the end, it would certainly save in lubricants and repairs. When a mill is about to start up in the spring there is generally some piping to change, and, as often as not, the owner gets some one to do the work who knows little about it. To give one case as an example: Boilers Nos. 218 and 226 were inspected early in April, and at that time the safety valves were on one end of a T, the stop valves being on the other end. As the boilers are old, these valves were not fitted according to British Columbia rules, which, in so far as the fitting of safety valves to separate connections is concerned, only apply to boilers installed since 1901. Some time afterwards I was at the same plant inspecting a new boiler, and found that the safety valves had been moved and fitted up so that the stop valves came between the safety valves and the boilers. This was done, the owner said, so that there would be two valves on each boiler, but he failed to explain what would happen if either of the stop valves was closed while the boiler was in operation. The man who did the pipe-work was said to be an Australian first-class engineer. The above may serve as an illustration of why some owners prefer to employ engineers who have no certificates. Any engineer with a certificate would have insisted on having these valves changed before steaming up the boilers, whereas the man with no certificate ran it as it was and saved expense. J 20 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. 1905 Boiler No. 6 was thoroughly scaled, some of the tubes being removed for that purpose. When ready for use again a new kind of scale solvent was used, and so well did it do its work that enough loose scale was deposited on the bottom of the shell to cause over-heating, and a burned plate was the result. This was the only boiler accident that occurred during the year, and shows the danger of using any new compound in a boiler without taking the greatest care to get rid of the loose scale. Some scale solvents are effective and some are not, but, in any event, precaution should be taken to remove loose scale frequently when boiler compounds are used. Among accidents to engines, that of the Porto Rico Lumber Co.'s engine was the most serious as far as the engine itself was concerned. It was supplied by a Spokane firm, and guaranteed to be without mechanical defects. The piston was hollow and had three holes left in it so that the core could be removed. These holes were too large to be threaded by a 1^" tap, but that size of tap had been used, with the result that there were only two very poor threads at the bottom of the hole. Wrought-iron plugs of standard size had been screwed or pushed into the holes, and the cast-iron around the edge riveted over to prevent the thread coming out if the thread failed to hold it tight. The plug came out after the engine had been running about two months, and the result was that the main bearing was broken off, all the arms in the flywheel broken in two places and the piston moved an inch on the rod. There was not a single mark on the cylinder cover to show that the plug had been working out gradually, and it was through no carelessness on the engineer's part that the accident happened. The crank-pin brasses on this engine were lined with babbit-metal, and in places it was only the thickness of a piece of paper; pieces of it continually breaking off and causing the pin to heat. This engine was fully guaranteed by the manufacturers, and they evidently trusted to their mechanics, for no company would turn out a defective piston when the extra trouble of reaming out the holes and fitting larger plugs would make it safe. The only accident resulting in personal injury happened to the Canadian Saw-mill Co.'s mill at Trout Lake. The rod connecting the sawyer's lever to the steam-valve on the gunshot feed unscrewed, and the carriage bumped against the end of the building, breaking one man's jaw and shaking up the other man on the carriage. A broken cross-head on the engine at the Yale Columbia Lumber Co.'s mill at Cascade was the cause of wrecking the engine. At three of this Company's mills the engines are veterans of many fires, and there are few engineers in the country who care to have a position at these mills, at least they do not hold their positions long.

I have kept the money collected from engineers' examinations separate from the boiler inspection fees. The difference between the inspection earned and collected is seventy-seven dollars and four cents ($77.04). At three mills where I inspected the logs and lumber were seized by the men for wages, the owner had no money, and I considered it waste of time to take a cheque. However, I hope to collect when times get better and the above-mentioned mills are running again. (Signed) Andrew Sutherland, Inspector of Steam Boilers, District " C." 5 Ed. 7 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. J 23 INSPECTOR'S REPORT, DISTRICT " D. Vancouver, B. C, January 1st, 1905. John Peck, Esq., Chief Inspector of Machinery, New Westminster, B. C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit the following report for the year ending December 31st, 1904. During the year 22 boilers have been transferred from District "D" to District "A," 8 old ones and 14 new ones. Three new ones were sent to District "B" and one to District "C." One old boiler imported from the United States was returned to Seattle, one new one was sent to White Horse and one to Brisbane. The latter, a B. C. log-haul, was taken out as an experiment in handling the timber of New Zealand. Eleven new boilers are held in stock, on which no fees have been paid. The fees for inspecting the boilers shipped into the other Districts have, in nearly all cases, been collected by the Inspector in whose District they have been installed, hence difference between fees earned and fees collected in my report. The actual outstanding fees to be collected in this District only amount to $126.50. The only fatal accident reported occurred to the engineer at the B. C. Cooperage plant, who, while putting a belt on one of the pulleys, became entangled in the belt, was drawn around the shaft and died shortly after. Another accident, fortunately without serious consequences, occurred at the saw-mill of E. H. Heaps & Co. In this plant the blow-off pipes of one battery of boilers extend out into the lumber yard, and, while the workmen were engaged in moving some of the lumber, they knocked off one of the blow-off cocks, scalding two of the men slightly. The blow-off pipes have since been railed off to prevent a recurrence of accident. A logging donkey from one of the northern camps, that had not been inspected, was brought down for repairs in June, the plate of the shell was split for some distance near the lap of the longitudinal seam, caused apparently by the movement at this point due to excessive pressure carried, which was nearly 50 % over what would have been allowed had inspection been made, the operators not realising the danger they were incurring. The cast iron mud-drum of boiler No. 60 D. was found to be cracked in several places at flange joining elbow, and was removed. Boilers Nos. 42 and 43 D. were found with heads cracked at flange over manhole, caused by the heads springing under pressure, owing to the stays not having been placed close enough to the shell. A segment of the heads was cut out, replaced and properly stayed. One of these boilers has also a decided flat on the shell near the longitudinal seam, and the owner, even in view of the result of movement on heads, refused to admit that there was any element of danger in this condition, and expressed himself very strongly when the engineer, who was not in charge at time of inspection, was told that the boiler was inferior, and was asked to watch the danger point for development of cracks. A vertical boiler, No. 269 D., used for heating purposes, carrying a pressure of 15 lbs. per square inch, was found with plate of shell corroded dangerously. In one place the plate was eaten away entirely, a piece of cloth on a stick was forced into the opening and the stick secured to the fly-wheel of an engine not in use. This boiler was in such a bad condition that it was condemned. Another vertical boiler, No. 237 D., was corroded very badly in several places, the feed pipe was secured into an opening with marlin wound around the pipe, to fill the hole where the plate had been eaten away, until the pipe would not hold. The steam gauge was standing at 160 lbs. when the boiler was cold, and the man in charge, who it is needless to say did not hold a certificate, said, " Oh we only use about 50 or 60 lbs., so she is safe enough." " How do you know when you have that pressure f was asked. " Well," he said, " the safety valve is set at that pressure, and that is as high as we can go." But, from what I learned from others, I think the feed pipe was the safety valve he referred to, as it was continually blowing out. This bojler was also condemned. J 24 - Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. 1905 Accidents to engines have occurred at one of the sawmills, and also at the B. C. Electric Ry. Co.'s power house. The saw-mill engine was being started up too quickly by the oiler, during the absence of the engineer, and the water of condensation not being able to escape rapidly enough through the drain pipe, the piston was brought to a sudden stop. The momentum of the fly-wheel forced the taper end of the piston rod into the cross-head, splitting it down to key-way. After a very neat repair had been effected by the chief engineer, relief valves were put on the cylinder as an additional precaution. The accidents to the B. C. Electric Railway plant happened to the h. p. side of the Laurie Cross compound engine, and was caused by a defect in the crank web. After running under ordinary load during the early part of the day, it was reduced at 4 p.m., and at 9 p.m. the end of the cast-iron crank broke off entirely, allowing the piston to be driven through the cylinder head, breaking the follower and bending the piston and connecting rods, necessitating a new crank, cylinder head, follower and piston-rod. The fracture on one side of the crank-pin hole appeared to have been in existence for some time, but had not shown on the outside, no defect having been noticed by the chief engineer or any of the staff. Referring to the supervision of construction of new boilers, the usual number of plates that were not up to the required standard have been found, about 10% of the total plates tested by myself having been condemned. Among these there were a few cases where the material was not much better than cast-iron, and would be dangerous to use under almost any steam pressure. In a few cases there have been defects in workmanship serious enough to necessitate the reduction of the working pressure below that calculated from the drawings and specifications. The purchaser was notified of reduction, as well as the manufacturer, so that in case the work had to be repaired later on the purchaser, having been warned before accepting same, could not blame this Department, as, unless the workmanship renders the boilers positively dangerous, we are only at liberty to reduce the pressure. This procedure was resented very strongly by one of the manufacturers, who claimed that the Inspector was exceeding his duty in giving this information to the purchaser. I did not, however, consider myself governed hy his views, and still continue to report to purchaser when pressure is reduced. On account of defective workmanship, or slightly doubtful material, two of the boilers under discussion, after having been in use only six months, were found to be leaking very badly at the seams, the rivets of which had been badly driven in the shop. There has been a marked decrease in the number of new boilers inspected from last year, not alone in imported boilers but also boilers built under inspection in this District, only about 75 % of the number manufactured in 1903 having been turned out. The Engineers' Licence Law is apparently working to advantage in this District, as not a single complaint has been made against the engineers by the steam users, and when questioned on the subject they say the effect has been to make the engineers, if anything, too particular regarding the safety of the plant. A few of the engineers are not quite so well satisfied, however, as they imagine that the law was framed for their especial benefit, and if they can see no direct advantage to themselves, wish to make as much trouble as possible. These cases are not very numerous, I am pleased to say. The majority look at the Act in a common sense manner and try to assist the Inspector as much as possible by keeping their plants in good order, thus safeguarding the public interest. The following inspections were made outside of District " D " :—In May the boiler in planing mill at Fiddick's Junction was inspected during Mr. Baxter's absence from the Island. This mill had been burned, and the owners wished to rebuild at once. On the same trip I also inspected two new boilers just completed by the Albion Iron Works, Victoria, one in a nursery and one for stock in one of the Victoria warerooms. Plates for a boiler under construction were also tested at the Marine Iron Works. In October I visited Victoria to inspect four boilers for Cement Works and test plates for two boilers under construction for West Coast Whale Oilery. Again in November I went to Victoria during Mr. Baxter's absence and tested plates for four boilers that were being manufactured for Port Moody Saw-mill by the Victoria Machinery Depdt Co., and also tested the two Whale Oilery boilers after completion. In September I was ordered to Kamloops, while Mr. Goldie was engaged in the Okanagan District, to inspect two boilers in a saw-mill that had been burned. Three boilers were also inspected at Kault on the same trip. These boilers had not been previously inspected, as the mill only runs in the winter, cutting ties, and had always been shut down when the Inspector happened to call, 5 Ed. 7 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. J 25 For two months during the summer I was engaged inspecting the boilers in the logging camps on the upper Northern Coast. This was accomplished under a disadvantage, as the steamer only calls twice a week at some of the camps, and one a week at others, so that the journey between the camps had to be made in a rowboat most of the time. In many places this is dangerous, as the rapids and passages have to be negotiated quickly and carefully at the proper stages of the tide. The wind is also a factor to be considered in some of the channels, as the writer learned while windbound between camps, having to sleep in an open boat after being without food all day. I beg to suggest the placing of a steam or gasoline launch at the Inspector's disposal, to minimise the danger and permit of more inspections being made in the time allotted to this District. Only about one-half of the number of log-hauls in use were inspected during these two months. It is going to be a difficult matter to keep certified engineers on these plants unless stronger measures are taken with the delinquents, who take refuge behind the operators, who must have engineers in any case, and do not seem to realise that it is easier to get a man with a knowledge of steam to learn the log-hauling than it is to teach the man out of the bush to handle the plant safely. The life of the steam plant apparently does not receive much consideration from them, and as there have been no very serious accidents so far with these men in charge, they do not feel inclined to go out of their way to get licensed men. Engineers' examinations were held in this District in May and June and also for three weeks in December, the results being very satisfactory, nearly all who have been notified appearing, and very few failing to pass. Tabulated reports are attached. The reports of these examinations are on file in your office.
