A "track automobile" of the Dominion Forestry Brancii in Alberta, showing the motor- driven speeder and the velocipede. * a by-product in the hardwood dis- tillation industry and burned under the boiler as a waste product, can be used in the oil flotation process on equal terms with the expensive pine oil. At present the hard wood distillation industry in Canada uses about five hundred cords of wood per day, and as two and two-fifth gallons of creosote oil are extracted from each cord, it means that Canada has been producing and throwing away as waste about 1,200 gallons per day of the very material required to operate the oil flotation process. Success in Practice What the mining men think of the successful termination of this search is shown by a statement made by one who most actively interested himself in this effort to find a new oil, Mr. Arthur A. Cole, Mining Engineer of the Timiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway and President of the Mining Institute. Mr. Cole says of the new reducing agent:— "A run was made for a whole week, pine oil being entirely cut out and its place taken by hardwood creosote oil. The results obtained in this mill test corresponded with the laboratory results, proving con- clusively that hardwood creosote oil can be made an absolute substitute for pine oil in the treatment of Cobalt ores. The only work now remaining to be accomplished before the full benefit of the results of this investigation is realized, is for the hardwood distilling companies to es- tablish a uniform method of handling this hardwood creosote oil so that they can turn out a uniform product. We will then have the highly sat- isfactory result from this investiga- tion, of a waste product from an already established Canadian in- dustry taking the place of a high- priced American product. At the present time there is sufficient of this
