ARRANGED BY F, G. WAIT, M.A., F.C.S., Chief Chemist. INTRODUCTORY. The following report contains a detailed account of the more important chemical analyses of ores, non-metallic minerals, fuels, etc., made during 1906-7 in the laboratory of the Geological Survey ; and from May 15, 1907, to Decem- ber 31, 1908, in the laboratories of the Mines Branch: to which on November 29, 1907 the chemical laboratory of the Geological Survey Branch was trans- ferred. The respective analyses represent only a minor portion of the work done within the dates indicated; for, with regard to many of the specimens and samples dealt with, it was found impossible to obtain accurate information as to the locality from whence the material was taken, or of their mode of occurrence, hence they were of interest to the sender only. Many of the analyses recorded may be found scattered throughout the var- ious reports issued by the Mines and Geological Survey Branches of the Depart- ment of Mines; but, for the purposes of comparison and ready reference, only those of economic interest have been extracted, classified, and .systematically arranged. 13 14 ROCKS.

From a spring on the bank of the Shuswap river, about eight miles north of Enderby, Yale district, B.C. At the time of its receipt the water was perfectly clear, bright, and colourless. On removing the stopper of the vessel, however, there was a somewhat brisk disen- gagement of carbonic acid, and the water gradually became turbid, and after the lapse of a few hours deposited a very appreciable sediment, consisting of carbonates of calcium and magnesium, with a very little ferric hydrate. It was odourless, had an agreeably acidulous (piquant) taste, which, however, subsequently gave place to a faintly bitter one; reacted faintly acid, when evaporated to a small volume, and was decidedly alkaline. Its specific gravity at 15-5 C. was found to be 1002-4. Boiling produced a small precipitate of calcium and magnesium carbonates, with a very little ferric hydrate. One thousand parts by weight of the water, at 15-5 C., were found on analysis to contain: Potassa.. 0-013 Soda 0-273 Lime 0-231 Magnesia 0-234 Ferrous oxide 0-023 Sulphuric anhydride 0-istillin Method.
