‘THE IRON ORES OF CANADA. 
Nova Scotia.—Magnetites in enormous quantities at Nictaux,in Anna- 
polis County, at Whyhogomah, in Inverness County. Specular and red 
hematite at Nictaux, Stewiacke, Pictou, Antigonish, Guysboro, East Bay, 
and many other points. Limonite, specular, spathic clay ironstone and 
hematite at Londonderry. Mineral fuel and fluxes are in close proximity 
throughout the whole district.” 
Cape Breton.—Extensive deposits of brown hematite, magnetite, and 
spathic ores lying adjacent to the great coal-fields.”® 
New Brunswick.—Magnetite and bog ores. Coalfields at Grand Lake 
and hardwood throughout the Province. 
Province of Quebec.—Very extensive deposits of bog and lake ores, 
extending from the Province of Ontario to Gaspe, Magnetite deposits es- 
pecially good at Sherbrooke, Leeds, Sutton, St. Jerome, and in Pontiac 
County. Hardwood and limestone abundant. Deposits of chrome-iron- 
stone found in 1895 in Coleraine. The ‘‘Eastern Townships”’ obtain iron 
by dredging in the Lac-a-la-Tortue. Magnetites at Hull, near Ottawa.”? 
Ontario.—Vast deposits from the Ottawa Valley to head of Lake Sup- 
erior, comprising magnetite, red hematite, limonite, specular, and oc- 
casional bog ores. The Helen Mine, at Michipicoten, is said to be one of 
the richest in the world. ‘There are also extensive forests of hardwood, 
especially suited for the production of charcoal, and fluxes in abundance.®® 
Manitoba.—Magnetite, hematite, and bog ore on Lake Winnipeg. 
Hardwood in adundance.*®! 
British Columbia.—Magnetic ores at Texada Island and Cherry Tree 
Bluff. Coal and wood in plenty. Collieries at Nanaimo (Naval coaling 
station for H. M.’s ships), Wellington, and Comox. A recent discovery of 
large deposits of magnetite has been reported in the Boundary Region, 
which at present mainly finds a use as a flux.®?
