Corundum : Its Occurrence, Distribution, Exploitation, and Uses (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Corundum: Its Occurrence, Distribution, Exploitation, and Uses

It is worthy of remark in this connexion that the discovery of these economically valuable deposits of corundum was made by Mr. W. F. F errier, then on the staff of the Geological Survey of Canada. In the preliminary report addressed to Dr. George M. Dawson, then Director of this Department, he not only emphasized their commercial importance but ventured the prediction, since amply verified that the original discovery (in Carlow township) is not an isolated occurrence but that other deposits will be found in the Hastings district.
