Cet article analyse le rôle des sciences et des technologies appliquées à l’industrie minière en Colombie-Britannique, au cours de la période de transition qui va du milieu du 19e siècle jusqu’à l’émergence, en 1906, de Cominco, complexe industriel intégré de la mine aux fonderies, typique des grandes compagnies minières du 20e siècle. Bien que maints observateurs de l’époque étaient persuadés que le développement scientifique et technologique constituait un facteur de progrès, cette étude suggère que le passage des méthodes traditionnelles aux techniques « modernes » a été plus difficile que prévu et que les résultats obtenus sont plutôt ambivalents.This article examines the role of technology and applied science in British Columbia's hard rock mining industry. It focuses on a transitional period, from the decline following the gold rushes of the mid century through to the emergence in 1906 of Cominco, a vertically-integrated mining and smelting complex typical of the large mining companies of the twentieth century. Although many contemporary observers held a naive faith in the possibilities of science and technology, the article argues that the transition to "modern mining" was more difficult and more complex than they had anticipated and its outcome a good deal more ambivalent
