The Mining industry in Quebec . es in an air line, and between the years 1847 and 1893,it has been estimated that between two and three million dollarsworth of gold was produced by various companies who operatedin this field. In 1910 work was resumed, on a comparatively large scale, forthe hydraulic working of some of these gold deposits in the Rigaud-Vaudreuil seigneurie,1 and work was carried on for three seasons,but the results were not satisfactory, in a great measure owing to badmanagement. Since the cessation of the activities of this lastcompany, some panning has been carried on by individuals, fre-quently unlawfully, from whom it is practically impossible to obtainreturns of production. In any event such figures would be small. It may be mentioned that a report of panning 4 ozs. of gold wasreceived from Mr. P. Turcotte, of West Broughton, who holds amining license on the south half of lot 13, range XV. of Leedstownship. xSee Report of Mining Operations in the Province of Quebec for 1910, andsubsequent Molybdenite.—Sorting platform on Benjamin property, lots 1 and 2, range I, township of La Corne, Abitibi.
