Production Up, Prices Down With furs the story is the same: Production has climbed (largely as result of an increase in silver fox rms, from 424 in 1919 to over 7,000 now), but the gain has been more than offset by low prices. Gold mining, on the other hand was paralyzed by high labor costs when Wales visited Canada 20 years ago. But since 1 when the U. S. raised its gold price, the dol- | lar value of Canadian production | has set a new record every year. Today Canada’s mines employ as |many men as her fisheries—and their yearly w 5 alone are three " | times the total value of the annual fish catch The mining boom and expansion of the newsprint industry (1920 exports, $53.000,000; 1937, $12 000,000) account for most of the five-fold growth of hydro-electric production ~ since 1919, Though Canada utilizes only a fifth of her available water power, even nNow. her per capita consumption of elec- tricity is twice that of the U.
