Report on Mining Operations in the Province of Quebec: During the Year 1914 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore the 1914 mining scene in Quebec—value trends, industry shifts, and key regulatory changes shaping resources across the province.
This edition presents the province’s mineral production for the calendar year ending December 31, 1914, with comparisons to 1913 and 1912. It notes a total production value of $11,732,783, a decline from the prior year influenced by wartime conditions, yet still higher than 1912. The report explains how “production” reflects sales and shipments, not raw output, and describes how stock on hand is treated in the statistics.
Beyond totals, the book surveys the main mineral groups, highlights the impact of the war on asbestos and mica, and details the share of metallic and structural materials in the province’s output. It also covers legislative amendments to mining law—especially rules governing oil, gas, and naphtha claims—and outlines field investigations conducted by the Quebec Mines Branch, including a major study of copper deposits in the Eastern Townships.
- How production values are calculated and the role of shipments versus stock on hand
- Changes in key minerals such as asbestos, mica, chromite, copper, and building materials
- New mining law provisions for gas and oil claims and the licensing framework
- Field work and public-interest resources, including a detailed copper deposits study
Ideal for readers of Canadian mining history, economic statistics, and early 20th‑century resource policy.
