Metal pro- truetlon throughout the world has been jtflghtly curtailed during the closing Months of 1937, wltt) the rmsult tli..- metal stocks are comparatively low. and la prices are dependent on supply and Utemand any lessening of production soon causes an advance In prices. 4i4ll.ll I'lUilll CTI4IN There was a reduction In the value of placer gold produced In 1927 as compared with 1926 of tlOJjOOO. The prln- Ipal placer eampa are In the AUln and Cariboo Districts; in the former output bat been normal or somewhat better than In 1920 but a heavy drop took place In the Cariboo output. During the year Kafue Copper Development smpapy's dredge, operating near Bar- kervllle. mtde virtually no production. all season It was engtged Jn digging Its way from Antler Creek to a new aiea on Cunningham Pass Creek. This wcrk Is completed and production will commence again in 1928. The Cedar Creek Company made a much smaller production thaln 1926, but extensive testing of the ground was done and it Is expected thst next season production will again assume normal proportions. Muct testing of placer ground was car- led out and some equipment installed in the Blmllkameon Division where production was again quite small but the results of development may materialise a 1928. The decrease in the production ot lode gold Is due In part to the closing down of the Belmont-Surf Inlet mine which formerly made a substantial out put, and slight decreases from a number of other producers. A considerable part of the gold production cocues as a by-product of copper and silver mining jud is subject to yearly variations, ac- aordlng to the grade of ore treated. The report Intimates that no great In orease In gold production Is to be ex pected in the Immediate future, but a number of satisfactory developments have taken place during the year.

NORMAN A. WATT. Official Administrator. Prince Rupert. B.C. Dated the '3rd day of December, AJ3. 1927. Trappers! year the leading sliver productlng province of Canada. The bulk of the silver production comes from the Sullivan and Premier mines, but numerous mines throughout the province contribute .There are few straight sliver mines in the province, most t of the production coming from complex sulphide ores yielding gold, copper, lead and zinc, as well as varying amounts Of stiver. The outlook for Increased silver production. Honorable Mr. Sloan believes, la excellent, as several eUver-lead-rlnc proper-- ties, which are now being equipped with concentrators, will commence operations next yearf'- (4IPI'i;K OUTPUT tL'T An estimated decrease of 1.1539,768 lbs. In the copper output for the year as compared with that for 1926. Is looked for, a decline somewhat surprising to view of the fact that the three big copper jninesrAnyox. Britannia and Copper Mountain all will have mined and milled somewhat larger tonnages than In 1926. The explanation is that slightly lower grade ore was handled, but it Is possible that final figures will show production to have been somewhat higher than estimated. through the record' production of 87,-800.000 lbs. In 1920 will not be reached. It Is the history of nearly all low grade copper mines that Increased tonnage means lower grade of ore. but the lowering of costs generally more than compensates for this, points out the Minister of Mines. The regular copper producers are expected to their present rate In 1933, but no large additional output is expected. Several mines now being developed are turning out quite satisfactorily, but It wll irobablj. be two or more, .yearf .bejore bey will be equipped to commence pro-luctlon,'! '! '.f .

The Sullivan mine has regularly Increased its lead production every year since 1919, and is now running at the full capacity of Its concentrator 4 flOO tons a day. The expectation Is that the current production will at- least be maintained for many years to come. I.M'ltEASK IX ZINC ALSO The larger output from the Sullivan mine Is also responsible lox the . greater production of zinc which Is estimated for this vear at 148.000,000 lbs. compared With 142376,947 lbs. in 1926. There 'was a drop In the Slocan and Alnsworth production, but this was off- malntaln set by a lrager output from properties in Northern British Columbia. Some increase may be expected next year from properties in the Slocan and Alnsworth divisions. ...
