Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Mining Supervision and Inspection Branch : In 1928, the function of supervision and inspection of mining, petroleum, and natural gas operations in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, the Railway Belt of British Columbia, and the Northern Territories was transferred from the Northwest Territories and Yukon Branch to the new Mining Supervision and Inspection Branch of the Department of the Interior. The officer in charge was called the Supervisory Mining Engineer. The office existed only until 1930 and was then, upon the transfer of the control over natural resources to the prairie provinces, declared redundant. The remaining responsibility for this function in the North was given to the Lands Section of the Dominion Lands Board. Most mining inspection under federal jurisdiction was thereafter carried out from the Fort Smith District Office. Although this Mining Supervision and Inspection unit was a "Branch", its limited scope, short existence, and almost aberrant emergence out of the Northwest Territories and Yukon Branch render it subservient to rather than equal to its parent Branch in the arrangement of this fonds.
