The ore is a magnetite witli an intermixture of hematite, and tlie properties are being developed by the Canada Iron Corporation. About 24,r)lri tons of ore were mined during the year. Shipments are made from the Company's docks at New- castle, at which tiierc was a considerable tonnatrc in stock at the close of tlie year. Quehec. — The iron ore production in Quelioc in 1910 included 1.:.'70 tons of bog ore shipped to Drumm compared with shipments of 203,893 tons, valued at $ii53.S0S, in 1909. BritMi Columhia. — No regular shipments of iron ore were reported from the Province. Some prospecting work was done on the Haven mine on Texada islaml, and a small .seow load of cupriferous iron ore >liippeil to Seattle, Wa-li.. for experimental purposes.

The Customs Department does nut keep a separate record of the imports of iron ore into Canada, hut as the imports are practically all used in blast furnaceB the statistics of consumption of imported ores in these furnaces will serve the same purpose. There were used in Canadian iron furnaces during 1910, 1,377,035 tons of imported iron ores, as compared with 1,235.000 tons in 1909. Increasing amounts of iron ores have been imported since 1896, the total quantity imported during the fifteen years being 8,898,121 tons. According to United States reports of Commerce and Navigation there were exported to Canada during the twelve months ending June 30, 1910, 609,617 tons (2,000 pounds) of iron ore valued at $1,630,917, and during the previous year 449,755 tons (2,000 pounds), valued at $1,204,048. The shipments from Newfoundland to Canada, during the calendar year 1910, were 808,702 tons, as compared with 097,068 tons during the year 1909. There were exported during 1910 about 114,499 tons of iron ore, valued at $324,186, as compared with exports of 21,950 tons, valued at $01,954, in 1909. The ores exported in 1910 were chiefly those from Torbrook, N.S., Bathurst, N.B., Moose mountain, Ont., and titaiiiferous iron sands from Quebec.

The amount of charcoal iron made in 1!»09 was 1",(H»3 tons, and in 190S, t),70i) tons; while the quantity made witli coke in l!>;m was 740,15!) tons and in lOOS, r,-24,\2(i tons. The classification of the production iii 1910 according to the purpose for which it was intended was as follows : — Bessemer 219,492 tons, basic 425,400 tons, foundry (including miscellaneous) 138,741 tons. The classification of the production in 1909 was; — Bessemer 221,931 tons, basic 400,921 tons, foundry (including miscellancoua) 116.307 tons. The American Iron and Steel Association reported the production of Besse- mer pig iron in 1908 as 126,348 short tons, as against 173.499 tons in 1907; and the production of basic pig iron in 1908 as 375.659 short tons, as against 382,208 tons in 1907. The total p'oduetion of pig iron in 1910 and 1909 is ^■hown by provinces in the following tabic, the average value per ton being also indicated. In the case of Nova Scotia a large proportion of the pig iron is directly converted to steel, and as a very small portion of the metal is sold as pig iron it is somewhat difficult to place a satisfactory valuation upon the output. For statistical purposes a value of $12 per short ton has been placed upon this production in 1910. The Quebec production is entirely ciiarcoal iron, which has for many years commanded a high price.
