He was appointed to the cabinet as its first Minister of Mines and served until his defeat in the general election of June 1923. BiographyBorn in Wales in 1873, and later raised in Birmingham, England, he commenced work about 1893 as a wiper in the Canadian Pacific Railway roundhouse at Fort William and rose through the ranks from fireman to locomotive engineer. He was active in the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and was elected to the Fort William Board of Education{{efn|now part of the Lakehead District School Board}} serving as its chairman during 1917-19. Construction of the Fort William Collegiate Institute{{efn|which closed in 2005[1]}} began in 1919 under his leadership.[2] Following his election as MLA in 1919, the Independent Labour Party nominated him to become Ontario's first Minister of Mines, a move that caused some controversy.[3] He sat in Cabinet as Minister without Portfolio until the new Department was officially created,[4] after which he was named its Minister. On July 24, 1900 at Port Arthur, Ontario, he married Mabel E. McKenzie, with whom he had five children. She died in November 1925 at Brandon, Manitoba, where Mills had resumed railroading after his defeat in 1923. Mills died at Vancouver, British Columbia in December 1959.[5] Cabinet positions{{s-start}}{{Canadian cabinet member navigational box header |ministry=Leslie_Frost}}{{ministry box cabinet posts| post1preceded = Howard Ferguson{{efn|Was called Department of Lands, Forests and Mines before 1920}} | post1 = Minister of Mines | post1years = 1920-1923 | post1note = | post1followed = Charles McCrea }}{{ministry box sub-cabinet posts | post1preceded = | post1 = Minister without Portfolio | post1years = 1919-1920 | post1note = | post1followed = }}{{s-end}} ReferencesNotes{{notelist}}Citations1. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.thunderbay.ca/Living/culture_and_heritage/Heritage_Properties/Walking_Tours/Architectural_Walking_Tour_of_Vickers_Park/Fort_William_Collegiate_Institute.htm|title= Fort William Collegiate Institute|author= |date= |website= thunderbay.ca|publisher= City of Thunder Bay}} 2. ^Fort William Daily Times-Journal 1 & 21 Oct 1919 3. ^{{cite news |title= Mines Portfolio Of No Account|url= https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=pUE8AAAAIBAJ&sjid=cSsMAAAAIBAJ&pg=956,26039819&hl=en|newspaper= Toronto World|date= November 12, 1919|accessdate=October 16, 2013}} 4. ^{{Cite canlaw|short title =The Department of Mines Act, 1920|abbr =S.O.|year =1920|chapter = 12|link= https://archive.org/stream/statutesofprovin1920onta#page/70/mode/2up}} 5. ^{{cite web |url= https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FL55-6M5|title= Henry Mills: British Columbia Death Registrations|author= |date= 1959|website= familysearch.org}} External links
