entirely included in one exposure are filmed
beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to
right and top to bottom, as many frames as
required. The following diagrams illustrate the
method:

RESOLUTIONS
I'or Discussion at United Convention .
47. The necessity of enlarged and more secure
housing of the magnificent collection of
the Geological and Natural History Sur-
vey of Canada at Ottawa. Moved by Mr.
B. T. A. Bell, Ottawa.
48. A further Extension of the Period whereby
the Dominion Government admits Free of
Duty all Mining Machinery of a Class or
Kind not Manufactured in Canada. Moved
by Mr. J. Burley Smith, Glen Almond.
49. That it would be in the interests of Mineral
and Metallurgical development were a
compilation made of all information relat-
ing thereto from the time of Sir William
Logan's summary of reports in 1863 up to
the census year 1890. Also that it would
be desirable were the reports of the Geolog-
ical Survey divided into two volumes, one
of which should treat on the Geological

.,t :-

work of the Survey and the other
on all matters relating to Mineral Oc-
currences, Mining and Metallurgy ;
also that the prices of the Geological Sur-
vey publications should be reduced to some-
what the same scale as that charged by the
Geological Survey of the United States.
Moved by Prof. Gordon Richardson,
Toronto.
50. That it would be in the best interest of the
country were the present bonus on Iron
continued by the Dominion Government,
and were the question of Provincial bonuses
considered favourably by the different
Provincial Governments. Also were the
question of the manufacture of steel rails
and of Nickel Steel in Canada favourably
considered by the Dominion and the Pro-
vincial Governments. Moved by Mr. W.
Hamilton Merritt, Toronto, seconded by
Mr. E. W. Rathbun, Deseronto.
5 1 . That it would be expedient to prohibit, or
to levy an export duty on natural gas drawn
16
from Canada to the United States in view
of the fact that the Great Ohio Fields have
become exhausted and that we may look
for the exhaustion of the Canadian fields,
which are at present drawn into the*United
States without Canada receiving any benefit
therefrom, or any labour being employed
in Canada in connection therewith. Moved
by Prof. W. Nicol, Kingston.
52. That it would be in the best interests of
Mineral, Metallurgical and Scientific de-
velopment were Provincial Museums
established and maintained in every Pro-
vince in the Dominion of Canada. Moved
by Prof, A. P. Coleman, Toronto.
53. That it would be in the best interest of
Metallurgical development were all fuel
used in the smelting and refining of ores
and metallurgical products allowed to
enter duty free into Canada. Moved by
Mr. Thomas D. Ledyard, Toronto.
!
i
54. That the reservation of pine timber in favor
of lumbermen against the patentees or
lesses of mining lands will operate most
injuriously in districts where the supply of
timber is scanty. This Convention, there-
fore, submits to the Provincial Governments
the importance of securing to mine owners
a present supply from the pine timber on
their locations for building and mining
purposes, and that the preservation of
forests for the supply of charcoal for metal-
lurgical purposes deserves the consideration
of the Provincial and Dominion Govern-
ments within their respective spheres of
protection and legislation. It is of im-
portance to visit acts of neglect and reck-
lessness resulting in the criminal destruction
of private and public woodland by fiie with
more stri ngent legislation, aid more efficient
means for securing the administration of
Justice. Moved by Mr. J. Bawden, Kingston.
u
RAILWAY CERTIFICATES.
Delegates should remember that their rail-
way certificates must be indorsed by the Sec-
retary (Mr. B. T. A. Bell) in order to admit
return transportation at reduced rates.
