GARNET. 
Small quantities of garnet are used in Canada for making 
‘sand belts” used in finishing wooden articles, particularly 
wheels, shafts, and handles for agricultural implements. 
For this purpose the garnet must be crushed, to give sharp 
cutting edges, and very carefully graded as to size. 
It is worth about $40 per ton delivered in Ontario. There 
is none produced in Canada.
