No titani-ferous ore was shipped last year from Iviy or St. Urbain. Thesales of graphite in 1921 were from stocks on hand ; while mostof the mica deposits remained idle. The magnesite quarries hadto reduce their working gangs by one half. At St. Remi. onlydevelopment work was done on the deposit of kaolin. Conditionswere the same in the asbestos mines. At the end of the year,out of a total of 25 mines in activity during the war two onlyworked two shifts a day, eight worked part time, three did onlyrepair work on the machinery and twelve have completelystopped all operations.
