. Canadian forest industries 1905-1906. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. T HE Northland of Ontario is rich ; rich not only in romance, but in the more tangible resources of timber, minerals and fertile land. The white pine, which has vanished from most of its haunts south of the great lakes, musters its serried ranks over many hundred square miles of virgin forest; and in the spruce, poplar and Banksian pine which line the southern and northern slopes of the Height of Land there is the potentiality of a world's sup- H ply of paper, mill-board and other articles made of pulp. There are besides large quantities of birch, maple, cedar, and other useful varieties of wood. In minerals, the wealth of Ontario is equally great and varied. The fam- ous nickel mines of Sudbury are the largest producers in the world, and the re- cent finds of silver, cobalt and arsenic on the line of the T. & N. O. Railway rank among the richest yet discovered. Iron ore is widely distributed, and the list of minerals is not exhausted by gold, copper, lead, zinc, mica, corundum and iron pyrites. Granite, sandstone, limestone, marl and brick clays are also abundant. There are millions of acres of first-class clay land awaiting the settler in a . good climate and covered with merchantable timber. Government railways now building will open much of these tracts.
