east and west ofthe Dominion. Ontario and Quebec, while possessing the iron depositsand fluxes, lack the necessary metallurgical fuel. For the economic smelt-ing of these ores it would be necessary to use either a peat coke or theelectro-thermic process. To quote from a paper in the First Annual Report of the Commissionof Conservation, by Dr. Haanel, Director of the Mines Branch: The comparatively recent investigation of the electro-thermic pro-cess for the smelting of iron ores have demonstrated that only one-third ofthe carbon necessary in the blast furnace is needed in electric furnaces.This brings the cost of the metallurgical fuel required for smelting down toa reasonable figure. The adoption, therefore, of this process would lead,not alone to the utilization of our domestic iron ores in the provinces ofOntario and Quebec, but would greatly conserve our fuel supply by substi-tuting hydro-electric energy for the heat energy of two-thirds of the carbonrequired in the blast furnace.

CONSERVATION OF MINERAL RESOURCES 423 Dr. Haanel has done much work in investigating electric smelting andthe results are contained in the several reports on this subject issued by theMines Branch, Department of Mines. In order to encourage the iron industry, the following Act respectingBounties on Iron and Steel made in Canada was passed in 1907. His Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate andHouse of Commons of Canada, enacts as follows: 1. The Governor in Council may authorize the payment out of theConsolidated Revenue Fund of the following bounties on the undermen-tioned articles when manufactured in Canada for consumption therein,viz:— (a) In respect of pig iron manufactured from ore, on the proportionfrom Canadian ore produced during the calendar year— 1907 $2.10 per ton. 1908 2.10 1909 1.70 1910 0.90 (b) In respect of pig iron manufactured from ore, on the proportionfrom foreign ore produced during the calendar year— 1907 $1. 10 per ton. 1908 1.10 1909 0
