Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Geology and Natural Resources of the Basins of Harricanaw and Nottaway Rivers, Northwestern Quebec
Under instructions from Mr. T. C. Denis, the Superintendent of Mines, about two months were spent in making a rapid trip of geological reconnaissance to the north of the Transcontinental Railway in northwestern Quebec. The chief aim of the expedition was to collect data bearing upon the possibilities of the occurrence of valuable minerals in that portion of the region traversed but in addition, certain observations with reference to other natural resources may prove to be of interest. This report is of a very preliminary nature.
The writer was fortunate in having the assistance of Mr. A. O. Dufresne, a graduate of the Ecole Polytechnique, Montreal.
