The following table, No. 9, gives the exports of silver ores as entered in the Customs Department. In comparing these figures with those of Table 8, it must be borne in mind that whilst practically all the silver bearing products of the country are exported, the basis of 10 PRECIOUS METALS.

With the exception probably of the figures for 1896, the valuation in the entries for export is that of the spot value of the metal in the ore, etc., whilst in Table 8, the valuation, uniformly with that adopted for the other metallic products, is the final market value of the silver contents.

Being but in small proportion it is ignored and does not appear under the heading Silver in the export returns. PYRITES. The ore classed under this heading is a mixture of chalcopyrite or copper-pyrites (CuFeS,), with iron-pyrites (FeS,). It is mined as an ore of sulphur. The production of pyrites was less during 1896, than in 1895, by 483 tons and $1,439, as shown in Table 1 below. The total production for the year was 33,715 tons, of which 23,562 tons were shipped to the United States as raw ore, while the remaining 10,153 tons were used in Canada. Almost all of that retained in Canada was treated by the Nichols Chemical Company in their works at Capelton, Que. After the sulphur of the ore has been extracted ag sulphuric acid, the ore is run into a matte, and in this form is shipped to the United States to be refined for its copper and silver contents. The output for 1896 contained approximately 70,000 ounces of silver and 2,400,000 pounds of copper. MINERAL STATISTICS AND MINING. TABLE 1. PYRITES. ANNUAL PRODUCTION. Tons. Calendar Year. 2,000 Ibs.

As this industry has been fully described in former Reports of this Section, no further details are necessary here. The production of 1896, compared with that of 1895, has decreased 8,416 tons, while the value has increased $9,238. As heretofore the production of salt in Canada was almost entirely from the Ontario salt fields. A small amount of salt was manufactured in the Dauphin Lake district in Manitoba. The following extract is taken from the Depart- ment of the Interior Report for 1896, p. 144. ‘“ Between four and five tons of salt have been manufaetured by Mr. Paul Woods at the south end of Lake Winnipegosis, which has been disposed of to the surrounding settlers. With the increased local demand from the fishing industry, and the improved transportation facilities, it is highly probable that Mr. Woods will enlarge his works, as, with an increased capacity, there is no reason why his works should not supply the requirements of the district with that article.” MINERAL STATISTICS AND MINING, 1518 1891 1892 1893 1894 1895 1896 Tous.

Cement.—Cements embrace those materials obtained by burning or Cement. calcining certain rocks or mixturesof clay and limestone, slag, etc., which, when mixed with sand and water to form a mortar, “set” or harden without exposure to air. Cements are thus divided into two classes, natural-rock cements and artificial or Portland cements. The principal constituent of all cements is lime. Cement rocks are limestones, either magnesian or not, having intimately mixed with them from 15 to 35 percent clay. The presence of a small amount of alkalies is essential, and is important in determining the cement forming quali- ties of these rocks. When the rock has been calcined to a “clinker,” it is ground to a very fine powder, and is then ready for use. Artificial or Portland cement is manufactured by making a mixture in certain definite proportions of some lime-bearing material, such as limestone or marl, with clay, shale or slag, substances which contain silica, alumina and alkalies, and then burning it to a cement clinker. The limestone used must be free from magnesia, as this substance is injurious to Portland cement. When the clinker has been powdered, it must be allowed to air-slack for some time, and the quality gradually improves with age. It thus differs from natural-rock cement which is ready for use as soon as ground, and which has a tendency to deteri- orate when exposed to the air. The finer the cement is ground the greater the amount of sand it will carry. 160 s GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. STRUCTURAL Portland cements are manufactured in Quebec, Ontario and British: MATERIALS.
