Fori Steele district in the matter of Railway communications for tlio district, was brought very forcibly\nto tlie notice of the public, by a small meeting held to consider\nsome amendments to the mining laws. Every other section of llio\n.Dominion of Canada, having mot and passed a series of resolutions\nrespecting the proposed road, \"we. who are more directly Interested in its construction than any oilier portion of Canada'' should\nplace ourselves on record, pro & con relative to tho undertaking.\nThe result of llie meeting, was lite appointment of a sub\ncommittee of tlie Association to draft a series of resolutions\nwhicli would be submitted to the meeting, upon which thoy could\ntake action, if the meeting saw fit, tho resolutions would assume\ntlie form of a memorial to be presented to bolti Houses of parliament, and tlie Governor-General in Council. Ho now called upon\nthe Secretary to read the resolutions, which were as follows:\u2014\nTo The Honorable\nThe House of Commons\nin Parliament Assembled,\nGentlemen: \u2014\nTho petition of your memorialists, the residents of the\nFort Steele mining division, in muss meeting assembled, humbly\nand respect fully sheweth as follows:\nThat. Port Steele and its vicinity is one of tho oldest mining\ndistricts in British Columbia,\nThat within a radius of twenty miles of the present town of\nPort Steele, upwards of Twenty-iive millions of dollars of gold\nhas been taken out in placer mining alone, before the improved\nsystem of mining by hydraulics.\nTluil the urea directly tributary to this district comprises\niiproximately live millions of acres of territory which has been\nfound to lie phenoiiiiiially rich in ore-bearing quartz and placer\nproperties.\nThat up to the present time development work on mining\nproperties has been confined to comparatively few, owing to the\ntact of limited shipping facilities.\nTliat the full capacity of the line of steamers, whicli is the\nonly moans of shipping ore out of tho district, is taxed to the\nutmost carrying the output of one producing mine to the\nAmerican Smelters,\nThat within this milling division every variety of mineral\nIs found, both free milling and smelting ores, and also superior\nanthracite, cannel, bituminous, with coking coal. And immediately adjacent are large timber areas and coal oil deposits\nunoccupied and undeveloped.\nThat development, work has been prosecuted on several\nproperties and their richness can be tlie better determined from\nihe fact, that as compared with the celebrated Cripple Creek\nmines in Colorado, the showing per foot developed Is: Cripple\ncreek 921.00 and Fort Steele SS12.00 per foot,\nThat up to tho present time upwards of Four hundred\nmineral claims have been recorded and of those recorded, three\nhundred nnd sixty five records of improvement have beon made\nIn this division',- a fuel demonstrating the faith hud by the\nlocators In the value of their properties.\nThat notwithstanding the number of mines located and\nImprovements made, owing to lack of shipping facilities and\nmenus of transportation, one producing mine controls every means\nof taking a ton of ore oul of the dislrict.\nThat owing to the lack of railway transportation, the\nmining industries of this district are almost totally paralysed.\nThat the principal means of Ingress and egress In a\nShipping sense is through American channels and as a conse-\ntpioneo the trade of llie district is to a great extent lost to Canada\nThai the construction of a railway through tho Crow's Nest\nI'ass, as far as the town of Nelson in Wesl Kootenay, to Connect\nWilli tlie Eastern system of railways would immediately have the\neffect of the fuller development of the mines aire, iy located,\nmaking a largo number of thorn producing and shipping mines,\nand would us well create a tremendous Inllux of capital from older\nCanada, Great Britain and the Eastern United States, lo take\nadvantage of the opportunities tor legitimate investment. The\nconstruction of the railway would make llie whole of Southern\nKootenay directly tributary to Canada and Cattadlailmarkets, and\nwilh the greal Increase of population which must inevitably\nfollow the beneficial effects to the Dominion of Canada, as a whole\ncan scarcely be estimated,\nThat at the present time, the coke ilud fuel supplies for the\nsmelters of West kootenay are drawn from unnatural sotlri',0s at\nheavy cost; Whereas by the construction of the railway through\nllie Crow's Nest Pass such supplies Would bo within a few miles\nof their doors, and al a cost which would allow the operating and\nsmelting of the ores of many mines there, which do not at present\npay lo Work.\nTherefore yoilr Memorialists respectfully llnd humbly\npray.\nThat the Government of Canada will enact siu'li legislation\n(it the present session of the Parliament of Ciiiiiida as \\Vill ensure\nthe imitiediale construction of Ihe Crow's Nest Pass Hallway, anil\nWhether the said railway is undertaken as a government worn or\nIs built Its a subsidised line. That the Interests of the people of\nCanada, as regards freight and passenger rates, be properly safeguarded, and that In so far as Is consistent Willi thu policy of the\nGovernment and with the interests of Canada as a whole, every\nOpportunity should he allowed for llle Use of the said line by other\nlinllwayS so as to ensure competition of fates.\nAnd its hi duty botuid yolir Memorialists Wlll ever pi'iiy.\nBinned bv dll-eutlon of Ihe Mass meeiiiig.\nTIIK SL'IIVKVOUS CHAIN M.Mir; IT TIIK SIIOH'I'liST\nTKANSCONTlNliNTAI.
