At No. 8 Mine, now No 4 Shaft of the Cnnadian Collieiies (Dunstntiir) Ltd , is a coal mine which within eighteen mouths will be employing 500 miners, and in all probability 1,0-0 miners within 3 years. This number of miners with their families ami necessary tradespeople and others, will mean a population of 2600 lo 5000, The writer of this article, whilst giviiin al. due credit lo the Canadian Colliery Co,, for tlie new life blood lliul will eettainl) flow through the City of Courtenay from the operation of No, 8 Mine, could not refrain front th awing n mind picture on a larger scale of "A r.KKATKk COURTENAY," had the pamphlet beeu able to finish up by staling that devclopm nt work would also start in 1 lie immediate future of the l.-irge "Crown Granted Coal Areas" surrounding our city, owned fur the most pari by the fanners residing in the Comox Valley. The prosperity and benefit to the whole tlistiict that would follow in the train of such development woik carried through to an actual working basis of the coal areas in question, would be of a size commensurate with the importance of the undertaking, and would dwarf to a mere shallow in comparison the prosperity that we all enjoyed 3 or 4 year, ago, Courtenay in a very few years would most certainly lival Nan limo in size and population Comox as the shipping point would enjoy undreamed of development and prosperity. livery resident of our city and the district at large would directly and indirectly feel the stimulus of better markets, better business conditions, more money in circulation than ever before, Hot air, you remark, but why so, four years ago the farmers coal rights was a live issue, an option was thrill in force, meetings were being held, and any coal right owner one met was fairly optimistic as to the benefit he would derive from lhe sale of his " Black Diamonds." Four years ago the price ol Jioo per acre for coal rights was tenatevly discussed as being a low figure, today many owners would 1 ot pass up an offer of $'j$ per acre, and y>t the same value lies ' elow tlie si r.'ace today as did 4 years ago, if we can accept lhe report of the engineer, cm the field, as authentic. It appears to me tlie whole trouble is tiie coal right owners have got cold feet, have lost heart iu the marketable value of what thev have to sell, and it also appears to me they have done so without just cause, because, beyond the log of one diamond drill hole aud the report of otin consulting engineer on tlie field, they had not sufficient data at hand with which lo prove and convince to any prospective purchaser that the coal areas claimed to exist, underlaid the Comox Valley. Vou iny agree with the f.regoing paragraph, im' add, that ��� the present time is out of place to talk ol' further development work with the war raging in Europe, and a financial stringency existing keenly felt by all. I say that the ] resent -'ear, if ever, is the physiological period, to alien pt the financing and accomplishment of sufficient development work of the Crown Granted Coal Areas to put th 111 on a saleable basis. ! make this statement in view of the fact that lhe war will surely be over either this year, or early iu next, when, i, is a commonly accepted fact, that for at least ten years following the end of ihe war there will be the greatest levival of business, the greatest shipping tonnage in operation, tlie greatest market foi coal, "and especially steam coil," that this coast lias ever experienced. No doubt exists in my mind but that during ihe early period of this era of prosperity, nionied interests could be found who would take over these coal areas on a working basis. providittK sufficient di V' lopnioiil work hntl bet 11 done by Ih, owners to eliminate all doubt as to the existence, th pit) and 1 xteut, of wm kable coal seams 111 this valley, or lhat a einifpany could be formed and sufficient shares sold to provide the capital to sink the first shaft and str.rUoperntions But to tako advantage of eitlur opportunity depends emir ly on having the project in such shape, as to interest capital at that earlv peri xl after the close of the war when Canada is in the limelight in lhe e-.es of the whole world, aud capital from many hitherto untouched sources will be drawn to li :r tor development ol her industrial resources. A diamond drill should be pounding nwav this summer and fall, but tu put it there it is up to tue owners to get busy now. Next week, if the Editor will grant me space, I shall at tempi to outline the cost at d extent of tlie necessary diamond drill work, and to suggest a possible method of financing same.
