ore without allowing for the loss
The inerease in

fore, much greater in comparison
with any one of the years 1906-

5/1909, inclusive, than is at first

evident.’ The copper-content of
ores smelted in 1912, as shown

W|by assays, was approximately

62,000,000 bounds, ao a liberal al-
lowance has been made for loss
in the slags,

’ As in years past, the Boundary
district mines were the largest
producers of copper, with a re-
covery of fully 33,000,000 pounds
two-thirds of which came from
the Granby Consolidated Co's
mines at Phoenix and one-third
from those-of the British Colum-
bia Copper Co. situated in other
parts of the district.. The latter
company owns a controlling in-
terest in the New Dominion Cop-
per Co,, so the production of the
Rawhide mine, in Phoenix camp,
is included in the quantity shown
as British Columbia Copper Co’s
production. Copper recoveries
from Rossland ores appear to
have been about 2,330,000 pounds
while the Coast mines are cred-
ited with between 15,000,000 and
16,000,000 pounds, nearly all of
which comes from Britannia Co’s
mines near Howe Sonnd, with
the ‘remainder, except a. small
quantity from the Red Cliff in
the Portland Canal division, from
the Marble Bay mine on Texada
Island.

' It ig noteworthy that copper
now leads in the aggregate val-
ue of production of individual
metals in all years; that is, if
placer and lode gold be taken
separately. The respective ag-
gregate figures are : copper $78, -
668,000; placer gold, $72,139, 000
lode gold $76,497,000, The de-
velopment of the copper mining
industry in the province may be

~ strikingly illustrated by compar. |.

ing the relative totals of these
several metals as at the close of
the year 1900 with those just
mentioned. They were: placer
gold, $62,584,000; lode gold, $12,-
813,000; copper, $4,363,000, A
comparison of these. figures
shows that copper has taken a
leading place in the metalliferous
production of British Columbia
for while, during the twelve
years, 1901-1912, the total pro-
duction of lode gold has been val-
ued at $57,694,000, and of placer
gold only $9,555,000, that of cop-
per has been $69,291; 000.
: "Zine .
The adverse conditions. that
throughout 1911 affected the pro-

duction of zinc, so far as con-
cerned the Whitewater and the
Lucky Jim mines, in the Slocaa, |
continued until 1912 was well ad-
toward its close. In fact they
still exist, as affecting the White-
water gronp, for the concentra-
ting mill destroyed by fire in the
summer of 1910 has not yet been
replaced, although transportation ||
facilities have been restored.

The latter improvement made it} my ~
practicable for the shipment of |

zinc-ore from the Lucky Jim |
mine to be resumed in the fol- K
lowing autumn, IH

Most of the zinc bearing mat- | Bf

concentrate, made aa a second | B
product in mills concentrating | Bf
ores also containing lead and sil-! yy
ver. In round figures the zinc|
recovered from concentrates was
as follows: from the Standaré
Co's shipments, 2,706, 000 pounds;
Van-Roi Co’s, 2,317,000 pounds;
Monarch mine 1,000,000 pounds.
Recovery from Lucky Jim ore
shipped crude was probably 3,-
000,000 pounds (returns have not! Ef
yet been received), and from
Noble Five ore, 200, 000 - pounds.
In estimating an output of 8,600-
000, as included in the foregoing

table, it is thought a sale mar-
gin has been allowed.
