considered as excessive. As the gain was made during a year of 

 depression in the paper trade and in otiier Hnes of industry which 

 are consumers of talc, the outlook for steadier and more remuner- 

 ative prices in the immediate future seems very assuring. 



New developments. The new mill at llaileshoro huilt hy the 

 International i'ulp Co. to replace the old mill which was destroyed 

 by fire has been completed and placed in operation. The mill has 

 a nominal capacity of lOO tons of ground talc a day adding about 

 25 tons a day to the former capacity. 



The Uniform Piber Talc Co. was organized in September 1908 

 and secured a talc property on Wintergreen hill belonging to the 

 N. H. Freeman farm just west of Talcville. I'lans have been made 

 looking toward the construction of a mill near the mine, for which 

 purpose the Sullivan water ])ower on the Oswegatchie river about 

 Yi. mile above Dodgeville has been purchased. The power will be 

 transmitted to the mill by electricity. The company intends to 

 make an output of from 30 to 50 tons a day. A vertical shaft put 

 down on the property encountered a bed of fibrous talc of good 

 grade. 



The Ontario Talc Co. has continued the development of the 

 Potter mine below Fullerville with favorable results, finding an 

 excellent grade of fibrous talc.
