Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Building and Ornamental Stones of Canada, Vol. 4: Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta The field work in connexion with the present report was carried on during the summers of 1914 and 1915; the work in the former year being confined to the Province Of Manitoba, and in the latter year to the Provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta. About five months, in all, were required for the investigations in the field. In the eastern provinces, an examination of actual quarries, supplied in large part, the information necessary for the preparation of the report, as quarries are numerous, and most outcrops of rock, in positions at all accessible, have been prospected for building and ornamental stone. In the west, however, actual quarries are few in number, and prospecting has not been carried on to the same extent as in the east. The demand for stone on the part of a rapidly increasing population and the lack of a local supply at many places render it advisable to extend the present volume beyond a consideration of actual quarries, and to make it include statements as to the value of possible sources of supply. It is apparent that completeness in this respect is not to be expected, for all Sources of supply would include the whole of the eastern ranges of the Rocky mountains, the numberless exposures on the northern lakes of Manitoba, and a great number of outcrops in the river valleys and coulees of Alberta. While it is not possible, therefore, to describe all known outcrops of rocks, an at tempt has been made to examine type localities of each geological formation, and to present an account of the rocks from the point of View Of the building stone industry. In consequence of this plan of investigation, detailed tests have been made of stones which present little possibility from the present point of view. The results of these investigations are included in the report, partly for comparative purposes, and partly in the hope that the information may prove useful to users of stone for other purposes than building. It is thought that all stone quarries, for whatever purpose worked, are included; therefore, the report may be regarded as fairly indicative of the stone industry in general. It is to be remembered, of course, that the point of View has remained the same and consequently all tests have been made with the object of ascertaining the suitability of the stones for building purposes only.

This book was released on 2016-12-03 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Building and Ornamental Stones of Canada, 1917, Vol. 5: Province of British Columbia All quarries which have produced structural stone in commercial quan tity were visited, and in addition, a number of others which have been worked for crushed stone, lime-making, etc. It was thought advisable to include quarries of this type in order to ascertain if they offer any encourage ment from the present point of view. The information thus gained is chie y of a negative character, but it has been included in the report, as practically any sort of stone is of possible value as building material. Quarries of building stone in the narrower sense are those which are oper ated solely or primarily for the production of structural stone; it is thought that all such quarries are included in the report. While most of the quarries operated for other purposes were visited, the report does not pretend to be complete in this respect. In addition to actual quarries, a large number of outcrops were examined, to which attention was drawn by the existing literature on 'the subject, or by information obtained from private sources. It is manifest that considerable discretion had to be used in selecting the localities of this type to be visited, as some of the reported occurrences are too remote or inaccessible to make a visit possible in the time available for the investigation. In accordance with the plan followed in the earlier volumes of this report, a geological basis of classification has been adopted, although it is freely admitted that this method is less satisfactory in the case of British Columbia. The reason for this lies in the great number of formations, and in the lack of definite correlation of the formations of different districts. A strict adherence to the geological method of classification, or an attempt to present the subject to the satisfaction of the purely scientific reader, would obscure the economic essentials under a mass of detail quite foreign to the purpose of this report. In the chapter dealing with the geology of the province, certain geological tables are used: these are intentionally incomplete, and are not intended for the use of scientists, but merely to give the average reader a rough idea of the position in the time-scale of certain strata capable of yielding building stone.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Building and Ornamental Stones of Canada, Vol. 2: Maritime Provinces The field work in connexion with the present report dealing with the building and ornamental stones of the Maritime Provinces was carried on during the summer of 1911, and occupied a period of two and one-half months. In all, about sixty quarries were visited, as well as a considerable number of abandoned quarries and prospects. Owing to the difficulty of access, and the unsatisfactory outcrop of stone on undeveloped or long abandoned properties, it was found that little additional information was to be gained by an actual visit. In a country where the occurrences of stone, more or less suitable to purposes of construction, are practically innumerable, it was found necessary to use considerable discretion in the selection of localities worthy of close examination. While the present report is by no means confined to quarries in actual operation, it makes no pretense of including 'every opening that has been made for the production of building stone. It is thought, however, that every important district is represented by a typical example, and that every stone, commercially available at the present time, has received due consideration. The writer desires to acknowledge the kindness of all the quarry owners and operators throughout the district, whose willingness to impart information has greatly facilitated the preparation of this report.
