Prospects of Iron Industry

So far there has been no metallic iron
produced in British Columbia, but it has
been strongly advocated in many quarters
that the conditions are favorable for the
establishment of an iron-smelting plant
somewhere on the coast. So far nothing
definite has materialized, although there
is apparently a prospect of such a plant
being established.

As is well known, there is on the coast,
in the aggregate, an adequate supply of
magnetite-iron ore, quite sufficiently free
from impurities as to be within the Besse-
mer limit, to supply ore for such a plant.

The only shipment of iron ore made dur-
ing 1922, was 1,200 tons from the Good
Hope, Texada Island.
