NEW WEALTH
CANADA’S MINING INDUSTRY. OTTAWA. Canada’s mining industry has made marked progress in the past five years, creating new wealth to the extent of 1,850,000,000 dollars. Each of these five years has seen some spectacular achievement, either in the production of new metals or in the way of new discoveries. During this period Canada has become an important producer of radium, uranium, sulphur, antimony, nepheline syenite. sodium sulphate, and rock wool. Gold production has experienced steady growth with the result that the daily tonnage of gold ore milled in Canada has increased from 24,000 in 1934 to 55.000 at the close of 1938. Crude oil production has increased five-fold since 1934 due to the comparatively recent discovery of a crude oil field in Alberta. It is estimated that more than 38,000 new occupations have been directly created by the mining industry during the past five years.
