 GEOLOGICAL and MINING SECTION 
 
 A Committee of the Geological and Mining Section, coiiHistiiig of 
 Wni. Hamilton Merritt, F.G.S., Chairman; Archibuid lljuc, Srcro- 
 tary; Dr. P. H. Bryce, Mr. John Notman and Mr. R. VV. I'liii.jjH, 
 have made a Rei)ort on the Mining Industries of (Jauada, which 
 .stttteH : 
 
 1. That as shown hy succe.ssive annual reports of the f}e()h)gioal 
 Survey, extending over a period of n^.ore than forty years, the known 
 miner;',! resources of our country are a vast and valuable posso.ssion 
 In precious metals there is reason to believe that we have rich occur- 
 rences of gold and silver ; while in the economic minerals the coun- 
 try is pre-eminently rich in iron, copper, gypsum, apatite and coa' 
 We have also manganese, barytas, antimony, plumbago, aslicsti 
 salt, petroleum, slates, building stone, marbles, limes, cements, min 
 eral pigments and minerals applicable to the fine arts in provcil 
 abundance. 
 
 The recent discoveries of cojiper and gold in the vicinity of Sud- 
 bury, of new silver lodes in the district of Port Arthur, of anthi'aoito 
 and bituminous coals on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains 
 as well as various new discoveries of gold, silver, lead and coal 
 in the heart of British Columbia, now accessible by means of the Can- 
 adian Pacific Railway, encourage the hope that a systematic survey 
 of the country will reveal stores of vast extent and richness, the 
 existence or locality of which is not now suspected. 
 
 2. Your Committee have obtained information relating to the 
 mineral and metallurgical products of the United Kingdom of Gniat 
 Britain and Ireland from the annual reports prepared by Her 
 Majesty's Inspectors of Mines, and to the same in the United States 
 from returns compiled by the " Division of Mining Statistics " of the 
 United Stateb Geological Survey. 
 
2 
 
 From one of tlu; (ii8t-montion.-d reportH a good .leal of infoiinntioM 
 liHH been obtaineil coucerniny tlio trade hetwoeti tlin United Kingiloni 
 and licr colonies, and also the production of the jtrincipal colonieH. 
 
 The data for the tables ilhistratirg the trade l)etwoon the Dominion 
 and the United Kingdom has been obtained from our 'I'rado and 
 Navigation ReturiiH, and the trade with the United Stat.'H from tho 
 same aourco, and also from the Commerce and Navigation RotnniH 
 of the United iStates. 
 
 While these latter tables have been made up to ihu year 18H0' 
 though it is feared more or less imperfectly owing to varying and 
 incorrect returns, much of the trade of Great Britain, both with Unv 
 colonies and the rest of the world, is from the nituriis of the year 
 1883, which was the only report available to your ("ommitlHo lintil 
 quito recently, when the returns for 1884 and 188-. were received • 
 but it is found that in the aggregate tho variation between the re-' 
 turns for the years 1883 and 18^5 is so small, and the work of sifting 
 out the special returns for the colonies (which are not kept s.-paiatc) 
 so laborious, that it was thought tho returns above mentioncMJ wouM 
 serve every requisite on this occasion. For example, the gen(M-al 
 summary of the mineral product of the United Kingdom for 1883 
 was about fifty -six million pounds sterling, for 1884 about sixty-one 
 million pounds sterling, and for 1885 about Hfty-eight million 
 pounds sterling. 
 
 3. The tables accompanying this report reveal to us at tho first 
 glance the small mineral production of Canada, not only in contrast 
 to tho United Kingdom, and to our neighbor the United Staten, but 
 as compared with the other leading colonies. 
 
 Taking the figures collected by Her Majesty's Inspectors of Mines 
 for 1884 we Lave for — 
 
 African Colonies 0i ,906,181 
 
 Asiatic (including India) 5 532 . 9 
 
 Australasia 47',885',069 
 
 British North America 6 108 995 
 
 The following table makes a brief comparison between ourselves 
 and our neighbors showing the total number of miners employed in 
 both countries and the production of copper, iron and salt in the 
 last census years respectively : —

 In each case there was a balance against us of about six millions

 btates IS m many productions practically prohibitoiy.

 United Kingdom and of tl.o United State.s as nvoH as that of Canada 
 with the world at large in minerals and metal Im-j^dcal producf.s. your 
 Committee have prepared two .sets of tal)le.s with this in vi(;w. 
 
 The first set " B " take the export.s and imports for the yoiu-s 1881 
 to 1884 inclusive. They shew that on the average the values of 
 exports were, from

 The second table " C " treats more fully with the detail and takes 
 •nto consideration only the crude metallurgical products.

 The ti>.sL Lal.Ic shows „s that th..' United Kingdom exports three 
 times a.s much of minerals and their p'oductH us the United States, 
 while .ihi' impoit.". on.'-third more than the United States. 
 
 From the second tal.Ie we gather tliat the United Kingdom im- 
 ports about four times us much ore matter an the United States and a 
 little more than one-half the crude met<illurgical product. 
 
 Tlu- iiuj.orts of ores to the United Kingdom are cliiefly cop],er 
 ores and regulus, silver ore, iron ore, iron pyrites and phosphates 
 with Ie.s.scr quantities of ores of lead, manganese and gold ; while the 
 United States imj.orts her h* ,, ;t quantities in coal, silver and iron 
 ores and salt, with .smaller q. ir.tities of clays, copper ores, phosphates 
 and asbestus, and a .small quautity of most o^ber economic minerals. 
 
 fu crude metallurgical productions the United Kingdom imports 
 very large amounts of copper, lead, tiii and zinc, while the importation 
 of the United States is chiefly made uj, of iron and steel, with tin, 
 earth, a and Cliina-ware next in importance, and lesser amounts of 
 fertilizers, lead, zinc and marbles. 
 
 6. A Table " D " has also been prepared shewing the trade carried 
 on by the United Kingdom with Canada, with her other colonies 
 and ahso with the rest of the world in mining and crude metallurgical 
 product. 
 
 This shews that the colonies do ae yet but a small proportion of 
 buHme.s.s compared with that earned on by the United Kingdom with
