In summing up tho magnesite ques- tion it. is plainly evident to me 'har tarhnunte of muguz-simu own beex. named from the limestone rock at moderate coat. Soil it can be dine 'here, it surely can he done here, eithar out of the limestone rork or out of the huge grant“ bed. J Magnesi'e is manufactured at Gren. ville, in the County of Argenteuil. midway between Montreal and Dita- wn and at Shnwemgan Falls. near _ Montreal. The extraction ofearbonate rot magnesium from the limestone I rock cannot be a very expensive pro- cess, because when the Grenville "e low was comparatively in its infancy :i 1915 the shipment reachvd a total r.f 14,770 tons. Valued at $126,535.00, The value of the prnduct seams to me to be quite low priced and the manu- tutor-ere been) to be sari-lid with the; price because the output in 1916i reached 400 (one per day. l I observe in 'he ttuancGl review of the Globe of Jan. 2nd last, a new in. dustry has sprung up known by the [mum of Matinetriiir. It is being made (from carbonate of magnesium. ammo. I ted from the limestone rock and for. merly imported into the states and {Canada from Audtrm and Hungary. That nupplv now being shut off it drove U.t?tasee and Canada to seek other sources of supply. This mag- nes.ite .79 used In steel furnace linings and mnklnu refractory brick with an output of400 tons per day and the demand far exceeds the supply. can carbonate of lime and 1 per cent magnesia. Anamulgnmalion of those two deposits (marl and gravellcould hemade to reduce the magnesia. in the cement to 5 per Cent which would benesrly half of each, and which would be sucha saving as would be manually felt and this grarrl bed would last far h_eyond the lives of the present ueneutlon. Within three miles of the company's switch on tho Durham Rd. has: in Glerwlg, known as the Firth swamp, ‘is imputed a marl deposit of a fairly good acreage hut in when extentl ' .unnt say as I never saw it. But um was reported on by A. Davidson and S. McComb to Durham Town Council as being of urious depths. the deepest being 38 ft. This daposil has hvon analyzed and contains 78 per cant carbonate of lime and 1 per cent magnesia. An amalgamation of those two deposits (marl and wrnvnlh‘m'h" ard.

I am not going to surmise that this sum could be entirely elim- inated " they have to bring the raw material from wherever it may be found. But [am going to any that with a good deposit of the raw material in close proximity to the works. I am flimly ofthe conwctinn that " per cent of those charges could be elimin- ated. For instance take the gravel olev ttion on the property of the UO,, immediately to the rear of the plant - in such great abundance With a face of about 60 ft. in dupth and according to chemical analyats contains 18 per cent magnesia and tr, per cent carbon. attt of lime. The chemist who ana- lyzed this material informed me that this watt the actual test. Now it would be desirable if some plan or scheme could bedevised to eliminate this mag- mum to the extent of 8 per cent either [ ' extraction or by mixture of other I material with a low percentage in l magnesia. reducing the magnesia in l: the cement to 5 per cent which is J qu ‘r permissible as it is than only one it no; _ ant above the government stund~ in Now line. there in an infusion of frerh blood on the board of the Nat. mun] Portland (haunt Co. and mice the [at plus thry were getting their may! his become Isrrtttsutsred, It he. comeu tho duty of the new board to ' look up whatever may maternal in to be Mum": locally that my an the bill.
