Mines Branch report No. 707 by James Gordon Ross, the third edition of the Canadian government's standard work after Fritz Cirkel's 1905 and 1910 monographs. It covers the history, mineralogy and origin of asbestos, mining and milling methods in Quebec, costs, markets, prices and statistics, and individual mines and prospects, including those of Asbestos Corporation, Bell, Johnson's and Canadian Johns-Manville. It also covers manufacturing and uses, with a bibliography. The mill chapters describe suction and dust-collecting systems, with fine fiber recovered and sold as 'floats'.
