Synopsis

Mining Operations in the Province of Quebec During the Year 1913 offers a detailed snapshot of the province’s mineral industry, including production totals, shares by material, and notes from field work and industry events.

This edition compiles the year’s results, showing how the mining sector in Quebec reached a record value and how different mineral groups contributed to growth. It highlights the shift in shares among structural materials, metalliferous ores, and other products, and explains the early publication of results before all reports were fully finalized. The report also describes how field work and geological congress activities influenced research and public understanding of Quebec’s mineral districts. It provides context on mining law requirements and the reliability of early statistics.

• A total value of mineral products for 1913: 13,119,811, the highest to date.
• A 17% year‑to‑year increase over 1912, with structural materials forming the largest share.
• Metalliferous mines contributing a smaller, but growing, portion of the total.
• Notes on geological field work, regional deposits, and public reporting practices.

Ideal for readers of industrial history and readers seeking a concise view of early 20th‑century Quebec mining, production trends, and the safeguards around reporting and promotion of mining ventures.
