Mr.

referred

in

"We

VICTORIA,
Dec.
31:
It
was
es
tlmated
a
year
ago
that
mineral
production
for
1936
would
be
about
$52,500,000
If
certain
factors
anti
cipated
were
ultimately
realized.
As
the
year
advanced,
it
did
not
appear
for
some
time
as
though
his
figure
would
be
attained
but,
as
the
year
closes,
an
estimate
of
352,431,168
is
now
arrived
at
as
compared
with
$48,821,039
In,
1935.
Whereas
gold
and
silver
accoun-ced
for
the
greater
part
of
the
Increase
In
1935
compared
with
1934,
ihere
has
been
this
year
an
actual
decrease
in
the
output
of
the
combined
metals
due
to
greatly
deprecated
metal
prices
for
silver.
This
depreciation,
however,
has
been
nearly
offset
by
increased
production
in
lode
and
placer
gold.
It
Is
of
interest
to
note
that
the
value
production
of
placer
gold
for
1936
Is
likely
to
be
greater
than
in
any
ear
since
1904.
Lode
gold
production
has
again
established
an
all-time
record.
k
It
was
anticipated
a
year
ago
that
through
the
closing
down
of
the
Oranby
operation
In
1935
there
would
be
a
very
heavy
loss
both
in
volume
and
value
for
copper
pro
duction.
This
loss
has
not
been
as
great
as
anticipated,
due
largely
to
Increased
production
from
the
Bri
tannia
property
on
Howe
Sound;
also
to
a
much
better
price
for
the
metal.

though
not

It
Is

for

particularly
towards
the

of

through
an
Increase
of
$661,000,
a
return
to

normal
conditions.
All
In
all,
the
Increased
value
of
mine
production
In
1936,
as
compared
to
1935
of
$3,609,929,
Is
attributable
to
better
prices
for

greater
coal
production,
and
greater
production
of
struc-j
tural
materials,
miscellaneous
metals,
mineral
and

Good
Year
Looms
If
metal
prices
prevailing
at
the
present
time
should
hold
throughout
1937,
the
picture
for
the
new
year
will
be
a
very
bright
one.
Estimating
production
based
on
present
metal
values,
.,and
allowing
for
certain
Increases
in
volume,
it
Is
anticipated
that
mine
production
in
British
Columbia
for
1937
may
attain
the
figure
of
$62,-000,000.
If
so,
It
will
compare
favorably
with
the
boom-time
figures
of
1925
to
1929.
It
Is
to
be
noted,
how
ever,
that
If
this
figure
Is
attained,
It
will
be
due,
to
no
small
extent,
to
Increased
