The role of farming in promoting the expansion of the pioneer frontier is today being taken over by the mining industries, which are leap-frogging the present limits of agriculture and establishing small urban communities in otherwise uninhabited landscapes. Nowhere are better examples of this latter type of pioneering to be found than in the Labrador-Ungava section of the Canadian Shield. There, where the northern frontier of successful commercial agriculture is left far to the south, a rich new mining empire is developing in a land formerly thought or as a sub-arctic waste.
