- Campbell says he’ll spend
: $2.5 million, if re-elected,

son a study to decide how to

* build and finance a resource

* road northeast of here to

~an existing gold and copper

‘ mine and to other promising
properties.
te Commonly called
‘Kemess Road or the Stew-
‘prt-Omineca
Road and long wanted by
‘northwestern municipalities
‘and resource companies, it
‘would start north of Kitwan-

ga, winding its way north

‘and east to the existing Ke-
‘mess South mine owned by

‘Northgate Resources.

' Northgate now trucks its

‘ iprocessed ore east to Mack-

ienzie where it is then taken
iby rail to a smelter.
But a road connecting the

" isite to Hwy37.would make

ifor a shorter and more con-
venient hauling route to the
pow at Stewart. «

‘THE INVESTIGATION
into the seven-year-old

disappearance of Larry Vu:
as moving along slowly but

surely, say Terrace RCMP. .

; . Sgt. Scott Lovell says of-

lowed a number of tips, re-
sulting. in the identification
pf vehicles and “persons of
interést.”

+ “A number of tips de-

lowing up on those tips,’ ” he
Says. '
: Police have seized a cou-

ple of vehicles and conduct- :

ed forensic exams on them.
' Officers’ are. trying to
track down the history of

¥ anyone as being involved
in Vu’s disappearance.

PREMIER Gordon Campbell spent“some of his brief
campaign stop here April 27 talking about a study for
a long-wanted resource road northeast of here.

i

While northwestern of-
f= ficials have concentrated ©
@ on a road from Hwy37 to
the Kemess site in order to
draw business to this region,
it would also connect to the
current road leading east of
Kemess to Mackenzie.

“Tt would be an east-west
connector,” said Campbell
in comparing it to Hwy 16.

> The study will determine
the intended route, type of
road and draw in aboriginal -
groups who have traditional _
_ territory in the area. oS
~How the road will be fi-
nanced must also be deter-
mined, said Campbell.»

It would also make North-
gate’s plans to to develop its
Kemess North gold and cop-
per property that much more
viable.

Portions of the road al-

_Teady exist but would need
to be brought up to industrial
- hauling standard and a new

section needs to be built.

believed ‘to have

pearance.

Police were looking for a
Caucasian. man with shoul-
der length’ blonde or light
brown hair, who was about

30 years old when Vu disap-

peared.

The man was believed to
have been driving a red or
burgundy crew cab pickup
truck with a long box.

The truck was described

as having a large dent on ,

one side and a Tidy Tank —a
large fuel ‘tank with a pump
on it — in the back.

A plea for. public infor- re
mation arose after the dis-.

covery of Vu’s 1985 gold
four-door Dodge Aries on a
remote logging road off of

Kalum. Lake. Drive a week °

-after he disappeared.

Leads from the investiga-

tion near the area led to po-
lice wanting to’ speak to the
pickup truck driver. —
“Obviously we haven't
identified the operator of

‘the vehicle yet, but we have

identified people as persons
of interest,” Lovell says.

Police put two full-time
investigators on the case last
year.
