P.C. Based Camera Systems Stewart to benefit from power line expansion up north STEWART. STANDS to benefit from any ex- pansion of the provincial hydro-electric grid on Hwy37 North, says a village councillor. Running power north of Meziadin will encourage mineral development. and ‘that means employment should ore be shipped out through the port at Stewart, says Craig Caruso. “Without power, there won’t be any eco- nomic development ‘of any size. There’s potential there now, but the region needs power,” he said. The area north of Meziadin has power through diesel generators but the amount available is in no way enough to satisfy min- ing companies with Prospective develop- ments. ‘One company, Red Chris, has a copper and gold. property just south of Iskut and — adjacent to Hwy37 and while it .has envi- ronmental approval, the. project won't be going ahead unless there is hydro power to the area. , The Red Chris property potential is one of the reasons there’s a growing lobby. group pushing the provincial government to extend . hydro power north.of Meziadin. ° “It’s not just Stewart,” Caruso said. “What’s good for Stewart is also good for LES - ‘FINAL! ~ Terrace and the rest of the northwest.” He said new mining properties made pos- sible by hydro power are needed soon to balance the economic impact to be caused when the Eskay Creek gold mine closes in just over a year. Arrow Transportation Ltd. now employs approximately 30 people, most: of whom who live in Stewart, to haul ore from Eskay Creek to the village for loading onto ships, said Caruso. And there are about seven full time and some part-time jobs for people doing the loading onto those ships, he added. © “We also have some log export, but it’s up and down,” Caruso said. Overall, mining exploration just lately ‘ has been responsible for an economic upturn among Stewart’s 530 people. “This is the first summer-in a long while anybody who wanted a job had:a job,” said’ Caruso. “That was pretty neat to'see.” Stewart itself relied on diesel power until the early 1990s when B.C, Hydro construct- _ eda line in'to the town. Part of the reasoning was to ‘encourage forest companies to locate there, but that kind of economic potential was never fully ‘realized. "All USTED Here“ ‘Ss just some of what’s on sale!
