Mr. Pitt told the assemblage
that even a relatively small
mining operation would put
about $50,000 a month in cir
culation for supplies, accord
ing to press reports.
Products of mines constitute
a large proportion of the
freight handled by Canadian
railways, he said; tens of mil
lions of feet of lumber are con
sumed annually by mines, and
every foot of tunnel driven in
volves an expenditure of prob
ably $20.
Referring to the high effici
ency of modern mining meth
ods .backed by capitol and sci
entific skill, Mr. Pitt pointed
out that ore can now be mined
which could not be handled
profitably a few years ago and
said by way of example that
ore is now being mined at the
Premier which contains only
three-tenths of an ounce of
gold, in addition to some silver.
