PARADIS PRINTER TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING 1934 NOTE In the statistical tables and in the review of the mining industry of the Province during the year, the term "production" is synonymous with "quantity sold, shipped, or used", and does not necessarily represent "output". The ore and other mineral products remaining as "stock on hand" at the end of the year are not included in the pro- duction figures. The ton used throughout is that of 2,000 lb., except when spe- cially mentioned. The year referred to is the calendar year, ending December 31st, unless otherwise stated. We endeavour to give the values of non-metallic products, raw or prepared, as estimated at the point of shipment or at the pit-mouth. As regards metallic products, we give the value of the metal content of the ore, calculated at average yearly market prices of the refined metals after certain deductions for treatment losses. This method is adopted by the Quebec Bureau of Mines in order to conform with the practice of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. The values are given in Canadian funds. As regards gold, the total value of the production is given in two parts.—(1) the value at the standard rate of $20.671834 an ounce; (2) the additional exchange equalization calculated at the average rate for the year to convert standard value into Canadian funds. Both of course are included in the totals. The report now presented was preceded on March 10th, 1934, by a statistical statement on the mineral production in 1933, giving provisional figures, subject to revision. The present report gives the revised statistics, and the tables in this volume supersede those of the preliminary statement. Since 1929, the Annual Report of the Bureau of Mines has been published in separate parts or volumes. Part A of the 1933 report deals with mining operations and statistics. It is followed by Parts B, C, D and E, which consist of volumes presenting geological reports, with accompanying maps, on the field-work done during the year.

MINING OPERATIONS IN THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC DURING THE YEAR 1933 GENERAL REVIEW After a decline in value of the production of our mines and quarries for three successive years, following the record figures of 1929, it is very gratifying to record a substantial increase, of 9.6 per cent, in the value of the output during 1933. The total value ad- vanced to $28,164,540, from $25,683,066 in the previous year. The first quarter of the year did not bring any improvement in the general economic situation. Prices of commodities continued low, and the metal market reached its lowest ebb. But in the course of April, the tide began to turn. The improvement which then set in continued slowly but steadily till the end of the year, and in the early months of 1934 the curve of general business activity was showing a decided upward tendency. Apparently, the nadir of the depression was reached in March, 1933. The progress towards recovery made by the mining industry of the Province during 1933 was much more marked than might be inferred from the comparative figures for total production, quoted above. When the total is subdivided into the customary three classes of Metallics, Non-metallics, and Building Materials, it is found that the value of the metallics increased 17 per cent as compared with 1932, and the gain in the non-metallics class was no less than 64 per cent. The value of our output of building materials was, however, 29 per cent less than in 1932, and it is this decrease that masks the excellent gains made by the other two classes, when one considers only the value of the mineral production as a whole. The decrease in production of building materials is, of course, a matter beyond the control of the mineral industry, and does not in any way suggest lack of resources. This class of mine product usually lags behind the others in reflecting business conditions: they are slower to feel the effects of business depression, and slower also to participate in 6 Quebec Bureau of Mines 1933 the benefits of improved conditions. Thus it was not until 1932 that the output of building materials in Quebec was noticeably affected by the industrial dislocation that had commenced two years earlier. But normal conditions will necessarily reassert themselves as the situation continues to improve. A great shortage of both industrial and residential construction is now accumulating, which will have to be filled. The quarries, the brickyards, and the cement plants will then resume their old-time activity.

We found eight different RFLP haplotypes at the 3-globin gene cluster in 37 normal persons and in 12 j-thalassemia heterozygotes from six families. 13-Thalassemia genes in these families associated with two haplotypes only: Mediterranean I and Mediterranean II. There were two different P-thalassemia mutations segregating in the Portneuf population: an RNA processing mutation (P3+IVS-1,nt11O) on haplotype I (five families) and a point mutation leading to chain termination (300 non- sense codon 39) on haplotype II (one family). The distribution of 5' haplotypes on normal P3A Portneuf chromosomes compared with other European populations was most similar to that in British subjects (data for French subjects have not yet been reported). Genealogical reconstructions traced the ancestry of carrier couples to settlers emigrating from several different regions of France to New France in the 17th century. These findings indicate genetic diversity of a greater degree among French-Canadians than recognized heretofore. Introduction a few specific 0-thalassemia genes occur at high fre- The 13-thalassemias are a heterogeneous group of dis- quencies in regional populations, together with numer- orders affecting hemoglobin synthesis.
