SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1911\nPRICE $2.00 A YEAR\nA BIG PUNT\nFOR KITSELAS\nGold Creek Placer Ground\nto be Exploited by Means\nof Hydraulic Outfit.\nBIG CENTRIFUGAL PUMP\nPlant Used in Levelling Hills in Seattle\non Iti Way to the Lower Skeena\nCamp\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDKitselai Miners Looking for\nGreat Activity.\nA special to the Miner from\nSeattle gives George W. Otterson,\nthe prominent hydraulic expert,\nas authority for the statement\nthat a complete hydraulic plant\nis being shipped from the Sound\nCity on the steamer Prince Rupert, for use on placer ground on\nGold creek, one and a half miles\nfrom Kitselas. The plant consists of a 14-inch 4-step centrifugal pump, weighing sixteen tons,\nto be operated by a 40-inch turbine water wheel of 400 horsepower capacity, This plant will\ndeliver water sufficient to operate\ntwo 4-inch nozzles at a pressure\nof 240 pounds to the square inch.\nThis plant, the first of its kind\nto be installed in British Columbia, was formerly used on regrade\nwork on the streets of Seattle.\nHaving completed the work of\ntearing down the hills in that\ncity, it will serve to exploit the\ngold-bearing gravels of the Kitselas district.\nThe Provincial government has\nconstructed a wagon road from\nKitselas up Gold creek, allowing\nthe transportation of machinery\nand supplies to the mines, and\nconsiderable activity is looked for\nas soon as work is possible. In\nprospecting the claims, of which\nthere are several groups, the\nminers claim they have seldom\nfailed to obtain coarse gold, and\nhydraulic operations-are expected to yield handsome returns.\nAT THE NEW TOWNSITE\nBusiness Men Pleased with South Hazel.\nton -Hudson's Bay Co.\nBuys Lots\nYesterday afternoon a number\nof business men went over to\nSouth Hazelton, where,' under\nthe guidance of A. C. Aldous,\nof Aldous & Murray, they looked\nover the blocks reserved for the\nselection of the people of the\nold town. Among those who\ncrossed the Bulkley were J. C.\nBoyd, of the Hudson's Bay company; J. M. MacCormick, of R.\nCunningham & Son; Walter Noel,\nof Noel & Rock; Arthur Skelhorne, of the B. C. Brokerage\ncompany and Rev.

Co.\nThe members of the party expressed themselves, on their return, as being very well satisfied\nwith the location of the townsite,\nits situation being very favorable,\nwhile the clearing which is being\ndone adds considerably to the\nattractive appearance of the\nland. The townsite is well laid\nout, the streets, in the main, running at right angles. The av\nenues are numbered, while the\nstreets and drives bear names\nwell known in this district.\nThe townsite plans show Broad\nway, which is expected to be one\nof the principal streets, running\nsouth from the station site. It\nis 100 feet wide, while Omineca\nstreet, another promising thoroughfare for business purposes,\nruns east and west, and is 80\nfee$ wide.\nAdjourned for Holidays\nOttawa: Parliament adjourned\non Thursday, to reassemble January 10.

McNamara Sentenced for Fifteen Years for Complicity in\nDynamiting in Los Angeles.\nLos Angeles, Dec. 8:- -On Tuesday James B. McNamara was\nsentenced to imprisonment for.\nlife and his brother John J. Mc\nNamara was given fifteen years\nin the penitentiary for complicity\nin the dynamite outrages by\nwhich the Times building and\nLlewellyn Iron Works were destroyed. Today the State turned\nover to the Federal government all evidence in the case, for\nuse in the investigation into the\ndynamiting which has occurred\nin the last five years which has\nbeen ordered by the Washington\nauthorities. Many cases have\nbeen reported, the range of the\noutrages extending from coast to\ncoast. In the present case, the\ngrand jury had already heard\nthe revelations of McManigal,\nwho testified that James McNamara openly boasted that he had\nthe American Federation of\nLabor back of him, and that he\nand his associates had received\n$20,000 in five years, for twenty\ndynamiting jobs. Detective\nBurns declared that Gompers\nknew McNamara's guilt for\nmonths before the trial.\nIntoxicated Indians Threaten\nLives of White Residents On Naas\nThe Naas river Indians, living\nat Aiyanish, described by those\nwho know them best as \"a bad\nbunch,\" became intoxicated on\nSunday last, and the few white\nmen in the vicinity had quite a\nstrenuous time for awhile, judging from advices received here.\nIt appears that the si washes, after\nbrewing sufficient' 'olallie-chuck''\nto give them the necessary courage, issued an ultimatum to the\nwhite men, ordering them out of\nthe country on pain of death. A\nshot was fired at one white man,\nand L. A. Graef, operator at Aiyanish, and Rev. Mr. McCullough,\nthe missionary, were threatened\nby the armed and arrogant Indians. As a defiance to the\nWhites, the insurgents tore down\nthe telegraph wires north of the\nAiyanish village. On Tuesday\nthe operator, despite the threats\nof the Indians, went over the\nline and made the necessary repairs.\nAs soon as the natives became\nuncontrollable, Mr. McCullough\n'telegraphed to Chief Constable\nj Owen, at Prince Rupert, and that\nofficial left on Monday for the\nI scene of the trouble, taking four\ni constables. The missionary's\nj message occasioned considerable\nanxiety. He has been among the\n! Naas Indians for many years,\nI and has never before had to call\n1 for assistance. The fact that the\nnatives got beyond his control\nindicates that the disorder was of\nunusual seriousness.\nBig Railway Loan\nLondon: A $3 5,000,000 loan\non behalf of the Northern Ontario railway has opened with\nbright prospects of success.

He reported a possible\nshortage of supplies in the valley\nif the sleighing season is much\nlonger delayed. In the Hazelton\nwarehouses there are large stocks\nawaiting shipment to the valley\ntowns. Mr. Charleson says the\nbuilders in the valley are still\nbusy, and are using all the lumber they can obtain. In Telkwa\nbusiness has been very good, the\ntown growing rapidly.\n(Speolal to The Miner)\nVancouver, Dec. 8:-TheGrand\nTrunk Pacific has instructed\nFoley, Welch & Stewart to rush\nwork on the uncompleted gap between Aldermere and Tete Jaune\nCache. J. W. Stewart has gone\nto Paris. Mr. Welch is on his\nway to Edmonton and Winnipeg,\non business connected with the\naward of the sub-contracts for\nthe eastern part of this work.\nIt is believed sub-contracts for\nthe western portion of the gap\nwill be awarded to various contractors now engaged in construction on the Hazelton section.\nFoley, Welch & Stewart, who\nhave the contract for the whole\nuncompleted part of the railway,\nannounce that they have crews\nin the field clearing right-of-way\nfrom both ends of the gap. Two\nsteamers are now being huilt at\nTete Jaune Cache, for distributing material, and will be completed in the spring.\nMINING NOTES\nWhat is Doing on Some of the Working\nProperties\nGroundhog Man Returns\nFrank A. Jackson, whose name\nhas been associated with the\nGroundhog coalfield since thej\nwonderful coal measures of that\npart of the district first attracted\nattention, returned on Thursday\nfrom a trip to Vancouver, whither\nhe went to make arrangements\nfor next season's development\nwork on the large areas of coal\nlands controlled by himself and\nhis associates. He expects to\nleave in a day or two for a flying\nvisit to Groundhog, and states\nthat arrangements for a big season's work are well under way.\nOn Rocher de Boule group.\nSuperintendent Frank Brown reports, satisfactory progress is\nbeing made in the crosscut tunnel to the lower vein. Mr.\nBrown was in Hazelton during\nthe week, procuring supplies and\nengaging additional miners, The\nsleigh-road from Skeena crossing\nto the property is nearly completed, and will soon be in readiness\nfor the transportation of the\ncompressor plant.\nRemarkably good progress is\nbeing made in the crosscut tunnel\nwhich is to develop the ore shoot\nin No. 2 vein on the American\nBoy group. The management of\nHarris Mines, Ltd.. which is\noperating the mine, announces\nthat the tunnel is in 65 feet and\nis timbered throughout. The\nground is proving very favorable\nfor tunneling, and an average\ndaily gain of 4 1-2 feet is made.\nIt is now probable that the 235\nfeet of estimated distance to the\nore will be made about February\n1. The rails for the tunnel have\nbeen taken up to the mine, and\nthe car will be ready next week.\nGOVERNMENT INSURANCE\nGreat Britain Provides Measures Ensuring Relief for Workmen\nin Case of Illness\nLondon, Dec. 6: The much-\ndiscussed national insurance bill,\nintroduced in the House of Commons by the government, passed\nits third reading today by a vote\nof over three hundred as against\ntwenty-one negatives.

In the\ni event of complete disability, the\nworkmen will receive $1.25 a\nweek for life.\nOttawa, Dec. 7:-The annual\nreport of the post-office department, presented today by the\nPostmaster - general, shows a\nlarge increase in revenue for the\nyear. The number of letters\ncarried also shows a considerable\nincrease, the number delivered\nduring the fiscal year being in excess of 500,000.000. The statement of revenue issued by the\nmoney order branch shows that\nthe Japanese in Canada sent home\npost-office money orders to the\nvalue of a million dollars. Aus-\ntrians sent home twice that\namount.\nThe question of the dismissal\nof public servants for partisanship was debated in the House,\non a motion for all papers bearing on the subject, introduced by\nMcLean, the Liberal member for\nHalifax, who claimed to have\ndiscovered cases of unjust dismissal in Nova Scotia. The\ncharge was denied on behalf of\nthe government.

Miner)\nVancouver, Dec. 7: The first\nroute plana for the Canadian\nNorthern line into the Peace\nriver country and across northern British Columbia have been\nfried at Ottawa. General Manager McLeod, of the C. N. R.,\nwho is al present in Vancouver,\nstates that the proposed line is\nlikely to be built under the charter of a subsidiary company controlled by Mackenzie & Mann.\nThe precise route now indicated\nmay not be followed, as many\nportions of the route between the\nRockies ancl the coast have not\n.yet been explored. Preliminary\nsurveys will be made as soon as\nj possible, and the actual route\nwill he determined when the re-\n, ports of the engineers are received.\nStewart, on Portland canal, is\nspoken of as the probable terminus of the road.\nThe company is also building a\nline from Edmonton to Fort Mc-\nMurray.

Many wonderful possibilities are in sight, more and greater, in fact, than the\npeople who are in the midst of them can realize.\nIt will be remembered that when the construction of the Grand\nTrunk Pacific railway through this district was first mooted, all\nthat was known of the northern interior was that it presented agricultural possibilities, and the pioneers of the country wore of the\nhardy class which enters the wilderness and subdues it. In the\ncourse of a few years, coming into the interior over dim trails\nwhich gradually developed into roads, the land-hungry adventurers\nspread through the valleys and plateaus of the district, turned their\nhorses out to feed on the luxuriant grasses, and dotted the land\nwith their cabins. With axe and plough they waged their battle\nagainst the wilderness, and a splendid victory has been theirs, as\nthe well-tilled and productive farms of the Bulkley valley, Kispiox,\nFrancois and Ootsa bear witness. Beginning with such appliances\nas could be packed on horseback or manufactured with simple tools,\nthey have equipped their farms with modern machinery, have built\ncomfortable houses and commodious farm buildings, ancl are now\npreparing to supply the agricultural products for which the mining\ncamps of the interior, the cities of the coast, and the northern gold-\nfields afford a convenient ancl profitable market. With but a tithe\nof their land under the plow, the farmers of the Bulkley valley\nhave in the last season realized sufficient prices for their produce to\nreimburse them for every cent they have expended upon their land.\nWith a railroad to afford them transportation within a year, it\nappears safe to predict a prosperous future for the agriculturists of\nthe country.\nTurning to the other great industry of British Columbia in\nwhich Omineca district will soon take a foremost place, one disposed\nto study the mining industry of the northern interior will reflect\nwith surprise on the remarkable development of the camps which\nare beginning to attract the attention of the mining world. From\nthe time of the discovery and partial exploitation of the rich alluvial\ngold camps of the Omineca river and its tributaries, this district\nhas always been looked upon as a prospective mineral country,\nalthough no active efforts were made to develop it until attention\nwas attracted by the success attending the settlement of the\nBulkley valley. Copper had been discovered ancl located on Hudson Bay mountain, some ten years before the settlers arrived, and\nwhen prospectors, for once second in the field, appeared on the\nscene, the mineral area was soon proven to extend to the Telkwa\ncountry. Followed the discovery of galena in the Babines, in the\nrocks of Nine-mile mountain, at Hazelton's very door, and again on\nRocher de Boule, just across the Bulkley. So rich ancl promising\nwere the showings uncovered that the claims within easy reach\nwere rapidly developed to a point which leaves no doubt as to their\nvalue, while the prospectors, going further afield, continue to bring\nin ore and stories of discoveries from nearly every part of the\ndistrict. With drill and pick the veins are now being developed in\npreparation for the time, soon to come, when the ore will be sent\nto smelters and its precious contents added to the wealth of the\nnation. Those who come to Hazelton with the railway, if in\nsearch of mines, will find showings which promise to make\nOmineca one of the great silver-lead producing districts of the\nworld.\nIn coal also, we have something to show the world. Within\nthe few years that have elapsed since the first discovery of coal\nwas made here, there have been brought to light vast measures of\ncoal, much of which is equal to that of Pennsylvania and of Wales.\nTributary to the coming cities of this district, there are the prospective fields of the Copper, Morice, Bulkley and Omineca rivers\nand the wonderful Groundhog measures, of the extent of which\nexperts of the highest standing refuse to speak, on the ground that\nthe ascertained facts would not be believed. The quality of the\nGroundhog coal has been indisputably proved by many analyses,\nwhile the quantity available is.so vast that an adequate idea of it\ncan hardly be conveyed. It is sufficient to say that seven hundred\nsquare miles of coal lands have been located, ancl that one of the\nengineers estimates that five railways will be required to transport\nthe product to the coast.\nVolumes could be written on the many industries which will\ncontribute to the prosperity of Omineca district; but only the man\nwho comes to see for himself can appreciate the potentialities of\nthe northern interior, which offers rich rewards for pluck, energy\nand ability. Those who possess the requisite qualities, and those\nseeking a field for investment, will make no mistake in coming to\n\"The Land of Opportunity.\"\nThe annual report of the Department of Indian Affairs, just\npublished, includes a good deal of\ninteresting information concerning the aboriginal peoples of\nCanada. The officials of the department maintain that, contrary\nto the generally-accepted belief,\nthe Indian tribes which have\nadopted civilized methods of life\nare increasing in numbers, citing\nas an instance the Six Nations\nIndians, who have gained 25 per\ncent, in numbers in twenty years.\nThe total number of Indians in\nthe county is 103,661, not including the Eskimo population of\n4,600. British Columbia has a\nlarger Indian population than any\nother province. The number in\nthis province is 24,581, while Ontario has 22,496, Quebec 11.462,\nSaskatchewan 9,439, Alberta\n8,088 and Manitoba 6,104. The\nNorthwest Territories have an\nIndian population of 12,625, the\nYukon 3,580 and the Maritime!\nProvinces 4,120. The report\nstates that the excess of births j\nover deaths for that part of the\ncountry covered by the returns;\nis 346.\nThe Ontario Indians lead those\nof other provinces in the value of\nfarm crops. They raised over\nhalf a million bushels of grain,\nand their total farm yield was\nvalued at $435,000, the British\nColumbia Indians following with\n$350,000. As the land under\ncrop in this province was only\nhalf that in Ontario, the farming\nmust have been more successful.\nThe Indians have become a\nsomewhat more important factor\nin the industrial life of the\ncountry. It is found that they\nearned $1,540,021 in wages last\nyear. Of this the Ontario Indians received $605,058, and those\nof British Columbia $477,655.\nThe wages paid was an increase\nof $195,422 over 1910. Besides\ntho amounts received in wages\nfrom fishermen, the Indians of\nCanada earned $691,629 by fishing on their own account. Of\nthis $424,515 was gained in tlii^\nprovince'. The proceeds of the\nhunt were $819,424, whereof\n$169,600 was obtained in British\nColumbia.\nPROSPECTOR \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD- BOTANIST\nspecimens, however, have informed him that his collection\nincludes varieties unknown to\nscience, to the possible number\nof forty or fifty.\nSALE OF LOTS BY AUCTION\nIN THE TOWNSITE OF\nSOUTH HAZELTON\nNotice is hereby given that a Sale by\nAuction of Lots in the Townsite of\nSouth Hazelton, being a subdivision of\nLot 851, Cassiar District, and registered\nas South Hazelton, will be held on the\ndates and at the places hereinafter\nnamed:\nIn the City of Vancouver, commencing on Thursday, December 14th, 1911;\nGeorge E.

It is perhaps significant that the proclamation recently\nissued to the Islamic world should come from Berlin. Germany\nhas always been friendly to the Turk, and prominent German\npapers are predicting a world-war as a result of the Tripolitan\naffair. The pan-Islamic proclamation reads:\n\"Under no circumstances can Turkey surrender' Tripoli to Italy. To evacuate Tripoli would be equal to suicide, both as a Calil'ulo and a state. All\nMohammedans will support Turkey in this position and it must not be forgotten\nthat the I'anislamist organization IB now in the hands of educated Europeans.\nThe center of agitation is not in the Orient, hut in one of the capital cities of\nEurope. What this organization demands of Turkey is: to carry out the boycott, not only in Turkey, but throughout the world, wherever Mohammedans\nhave a home, in Egypt, India, Algiers, the; Crimea, the Caucasus, and elsewhere.\nThe Califate must make every effort to call out the help of the whole Mohammedan world in the shape of money and men. If things come to an extremity;\nand in case the Powers do not call a halt to Italy, the Califate will feel itself\ncompelled to think that all hope of a just arrangement, especially such as would\npreclude the possibility of a holy war, is out of the question. Should Turkey\nbe disappointed in her expectation, the matter will be decided over her head.\nIn two months the pilgrims start for Mecca, and there we may expect anything\nto happen.\"\nThe man whose days are spent\nin searching for mineral indications and whose dreams at night\nare of fabulous gold discoveries,\n; lives too close to the scenery to\nproperly appreciate the beauties\n; of nature.

The only\nspecimens which he thinks it possible to add to his collection in\nthe future are rare plants, the\nseeds of which lie dormant for\nyears, awaiting unusual seasonal\nconditions which may prove favorable to their growth.\nThe ability to classify such a\ncollection as that of Mr. Gervais\nis possessed by few botanists,\nwhile the collector himself lays\nno claim to scientific attainments.\nAuthorities who have seen the\nCANCELLATION OF RESERVE.\nNotice is hereby Riven that the reserves established over vacant Crown lands in Ranges 4 and\n5, Coast District, by notices bearing dates respectively of December 17th. 11HI8, May 5th, 1910,\nand May 25, l!UO, which were published in the\nBritish Columbia Gazette in the issues of December nth, 1908, May 12th, 1910, and May 26th, 1910,\nare cancelled in so far as the same relates to the\nlands surveyed as Lots 387, 388, 532, 633, 634, 635,\n536. 537, 538, 589, 540, 541. llll, 1112,1113, 1114, 1115,\n1118, 1117, 1118, 1119, 1120, 1121, and 1122 all in\nrange 4, Coast District; and lots 4023. 4029, 4030,\n4031, 3022a. 3030, 3031a. 3043, 3044, 3594, 4933, and\n4934, all in range 5, Coast District.\nLands Department.

C.\nCorrespondence\nIn publishing the communication\nwhich follows, the Miner has omitted\nparagraphs in which the writer indulges\nin personalities which have nothing to\ndo with the issue.\nEditor Miner:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDIn your editorial of\nthe issue of December 2nd, you did not\ndirectly name me as the \"mischief-\nmaker,\" but you might just as well\nhave done so, as far as giving the public of Hazelton a clear idea of whom\nyou meant. Perhaps I am a mischief\nmaker, but my record since coming to\nthis Province, (which is well known to\nso many and which I could not conceal\neven if I wished,) shows that I have\ndone as much as most other men to\nopen up this country.\nIn 1883, I operated in the Big Bend\ncountry north of Revelstoke; in 1887 I\nprospected and located on Toad Mountain and assisted in the starting of what\nis now the city of Nelson. In 1890 I\nwas in Rossland, the third man in that\ncamp and one of the principal locators.\nI built the first house in the great\nSlocan country; also the first house on\nCanoe river and on Wood river, which\nare the two main tributaries of the Columbia river in British Columbia. I\nprospected and mined in the Cariboo,\nPeace river, Mackenzie river and spent\na few years in the Yukon and Alaska,\nbut I take no special credit for this, as\nI was there to further my own interests,\nas well as of others.\nI came to this country in 1903 and\nwas the first settler to be issued a\nCrown Grant as an actual settler in the\nBulkley valley. 1 located dozens of\nsettlers in the Bulkley valley; those\nwho had money paid me for the trouble;\nthose who did not had my services for\nnothing. I cut the trail and located the\nfirst mining claim in the Babine range\na year before anyone else.\nFor the last two or three years my\nservices have always been available in\nthe public interests and for the benefit\nof the people ot Hazelton, and I have\nshown time and again that I have been\nwilling to do my part both in labor and\nin donating generously towards the\ndifferent celebrations, Who was it got\nthe telegraph rates reduced? The\nweekly mail service and many other\nthings? As far as supporting the\nnewspapers of Hazelton, I have paid\nthem more than double that of any\nother person in this town, although I\nam called a mischief-maker, because I\nam against blind pigs and all other sorts\nof crime and am not afraid to say so\nat the risk of again being called a mischief-maker. I think that even the\nblind piggers themselves have more respect for a man who declares himself\nthan for a man who is neither one\nthing or the other, in other words a\n\"fence-straddler,\" and who is afraid to\nshow his citizenship against lawlessness.\nNow, as for my particular attitude\ntowards the question to which this\neditorial denunciation refers, the Government licences the sale of liquor only\nto houses which conform to the high\nstandard required. Three such hotels\nhave been built in this town at a large\nexpense and are conducted within the\nlaw, and cannot be ruined by competition with outlaw businesses.\nC. G.

At the annual meeting of the\nThe Police Calendar\nThe week has been a busy one for the\npolice, a score of cases appearing on\nthe docket. A majority of the cases\narose from the illegal sale of liquor to\nIndians and others. Alice Wilson, an\nAndimaul Indian woman, was found\nintoxicated in a room in the Hazelton\nhotel, and was lined $25. Refusing to\ntell who supplied her with liquor, she\nwas further sentenced to fourteen days'\nimprisonment. Out of this case arose\na charge against C. G.

Mansur, Assistant Solicitor.\n\"Nov. 17, 1910.\n\"A. Whealler, Esq., Barrister,\n\"Vancouver, B.C.\n\"Dear Sir:-Re Lot 882, Coast District, B.C. Your letter of\nthe 2nd September last has been referred to me by the Land Commissioner. I have had tracing attached to each one of the enclosed\nconveyances, and enclose herewith an extra blue print for your\ncopy of conveyance which you desire to keep. I note that you\nrequest that a conveyance be incorporated in this Deed, that a\nsiding be placed and maintained on this land, The Company\nwould much prefer to have clear title to this right-of-way, but at\nthe same time it is their intention to establish and maintain a siding\non this property, and it seems to me that an undertaking in the\nform of a letter would be sufficient for your purposes. I am,\ntherefore, authorized to undertake, on behalf of the Grand Trunk\nPacific Railway Co., that the Company will construct a siding upon\nthe land described in the enclosed conveyance, and that so long as\nthe Company's line of railway is in its present location, this siding\nwill not be removed east or west of this land.\n\"You will understand that the location of the Company's line\nmight be at some future time and for some unforeseen cause\nchanged by the Board of Railway Commission and the Company\nwould not like to bind itself to maintain a siding at this point forever, as upon the application to the Board the Company might be\nordered to change its location.\n\"1 think the above undertaking should be sufficient guarantee\nto you of the good faith of the Company and I trust that you will\nnot insist upon this covenant being incorporated in the Deed.\n\"Yours truly,\n\"(Signed) CHAS. H. MANSUR,\n\"Assistant Solicitor.\"\nAlso, if there were no such agreement with the Grand Trunk\nPacific Railway Co., there would still be a station at New Hazelton,\nas the location of stations on the line are governed by the Dominion\nRailway Commissioners.\nRead the following extracts from the Dominion Railway Act:\nRevised Statutes op Canada, 1906. Vol.. 1.\nSTATIONS.\n258. Every station of the Company shall ho erected, operated and maintained with Kood and sufficient accommodation and facilities for traffic.\n2. Before the company proceeds to erect any station upon its railway, the\nlocation of such station shall be approved of hy the Hoard.\n3. In the case of any Railway, whether subject to the legislative authority\nof the Parliament of Canada or not, subsidized in money, or in land, after Ihe\neighteenth day uf July, one thousand nine hundred, under the authority of an\nact of the Parliament of Canada, the payment and acceptance of such subsidy\nshall he taken to he subject to the covenant or condition, whether expressed or\nnot in any agreement relating to such suhsidy, that the company, for the time\nheine; owing or operating such railway shall, when thereto directed or ordered\nhy the Hoard, maintain and operate stations with such accommodation or facilities\nin connection therewith as are defined hy the Hoard, at such points on the railway as are designated in such order.\nThe Railway Commission will meet in Ottawa in a\nfew days and after their Session the exact point of the\ndepot on lot 882 will be announced.\nThe Bulkley Bridge\nNow in regards to a bridge across the Bulkley river, connecting\nthe roads from the mines with the railway. It has been quite\nextensively advertised, although very little in Hazelton, that a\nbridge was to be constructed at a point farther down stream than\nthe present bridge.\nTo anyone who knows the location of the mines and the topography of the country, this idea is comedy. If there is a mine\nowner on Nine-mile mountain, or Four-mile mountain, who is willing to say that there is any other route from the mines to the railway that will favorably compare, as to distance and grades, with\nthat to New Hazelton, over the proposed high-level bridge across\nthe Bulkley at Haguelgate, we have a special cash prize of $250.00\nawaiting him in our office to be paid over on his word.\nWe are pleased to announce that an engineer will be on the\nground at an early date to make a survey, and immediately his\nreport is forthcoming the preliminaries to the construction of the\nbridge will be proceeded with.\nStop and Think!\nHere we come to one of the most important features in regard\nto the station grounds. The grade through New Hazelton allotted\nto the G. T. P. is on level grade.\nNew Hazelton is the only point on the G. T. P. from the bridge\nacross the Skeena where a level grade can be procured. From New\nHazelton west the grades are maximum.\nThe Road to Ground Hog\nThe cheapest route, the shortest route, and the route with the\neasiest grade to the Groundhog Coal Fields from the G. T. P. main\nline is from New Hazelton. In fact this is the only feasible route,\naccording to the engineers and those pioneers who have covered\nevery foot of the country.\nNew Hazelton\nis the town for\nthe Business Man\nthe Speculator\nthe Small Investor\nMake your selections now.
