The necessity of enlarged and more secure housing of the magnificent collection of the Geological and Natural History Sur- vey of Canada at Ottawa. Moved by Mr. B. T. A. Bell, Ottawa. 48. A further Extension of the Period whereby the Dominion Government admits Free of Duty all Mining Machinery of a Class or Kind not Manufactured in Canada. Moved by Mr. J. Burley Smith, Glen Almond. 49. That it would be in the interests of Mineral and Metallurgical development were a compilation made of all information relat- ing thereto from the time of Sir William Logan's summary of reports in 1863 up to the census year 1890. Also that it would be desirable were the reports of the Geolog- ical Survey divided into two volumes, one of which should treat on the Geological m .,t :- 15 --^m\ '■' ^^ ■^ work of the Survey and the other on all matters relating to Mineral Oc- currences, Mining and Metallurgy ; also that the prices of the Geological Sur- vey publications should be reduced to some- what the same scale as that charged by the Geological Survey of the United States. Moved by Prof. Gordon Richardson, Toronto. 50. That it would be in the best interest of the country were the present bonus on Iron continued by the Dominion Government, and were the question of Provincial bonuses considered favourably by the different Provincial Governments. Also were the question of the manufacture of steel rails and of Nickel Steel in Canada favourably considered by the Dominion and the Pro- vincial Governments. Moved by Mr. W. Hamilton Merritt, Toronto, seconded by Mr. E. W. Rathbun, Deseronto. 5 1 . That it would be expedient to prohibit, or to levy an export duty on natural gas drawn 16 from Canada to the United States in view of the fact that the Great Ohio Fields have become exhausted and that we may look for the exhaustion of the Canadian fields, which are at present drawn into the*United States without Canada receiving any benefit therefrom, or any labour being employed in Canada in connection therewith. Moved by Prof. W. Nicol, Kingston. 52. That it would be in the best interests of Mineral, Metallurgical and Scientific de- velopment were Provincial Museums established and maintained in every Pro- vince in the Dominion of Canada. Moved by Prof, A. P. Coleman, Toronto. 53. That it would be in the best interest of Metallurgical development were all fuel used in the smelting and refining of ores and metallurgical products allowed to enter duty free into Canada. Moved by Mr. Thomas D. Ledyard, Toronto. ! i 54. That the reservation of pine timber in favor of lumbermen against the patentees or lesses of mining lands will operate most injuriously in districts where the supply of timber is scanty. This Convention, there- fore, submits to the Provincial Governments the importance of securing to mine owners a present supply from the pine timber on their locations for building and mining purposes, and that the preservation of forests for the supply of charcoal for metal- lurgical purposes deserves the consideration of the Provincial and Dominion Govern- ments within their respective spheres of protection and legislation. It is of im- portance to visit acts of neglect and reck- lessness resulting in the criminal destruction of private and public woodland by fiie with more stri ngent legislation, aid more efficient means for securing the administration of Justice. Moved by Mr. J. Bawden, Kingston. u RAILWAY CERTIFICATES. Delegates should remember that their rail- way certificates must be indorsed by the Sec- retary (Mr. B. T. A. Bell) in order to admit return transportation at reduced rates. BADGES. Red : Members Am, Inst, of M. E. Blue : Members Mining Society of N.S. Lavender : Gen*I. M'g.
