REPORT OF BUREAU OF MINES. -BY WILLIAM FLEET ROBERTSON, PROVINCIAL MINERALOGIST, :0: To the Hon. Richard McBride, Minister of Mines. SIR, I have the honour to submit herewith my Annual Report on the Mining Industry of the Province for the year ending December 31st, 1906. The statistical tables give the total mineral output of the Province to date, and show in considerable detail the actual mineral production of the past year, as based on smelter or mill returns; also, a summary of the production of each of the last four years, thus illustrating by comparison the progress made in productive mining during this period. To facilitate comparison with information previously given, I have retained, as closely as was possible, the general form already established for such tables and for the Report. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM FLEET ROBERTSON, Bureau of Mines, Victoria, B. C., March 19th, 1907. |
