 Sra,- -I have the honour to submit herewith the annual Preliminary 
 Statistical Table of the Mineral Production of Canada. 
 
 As shown in the explanatory notes attached to the table, some of the 
 returns are estimated. The figures given, however, are close approxima- 
 tions and will be revised when re-issued later with the complete report of 
 the Division for the year. 
 
 This report will as usual contain further statistical details regarding 
 the various mineral industries, as well as the most recent available infor- 
 mation regarding mineral discovery and development in Canada.
