No, 40, Although unable to replenish their stocks, the merchants of Hazelton have been very busy during the last week outfitting parties of miners, prospectors and suyveyors bound for many different parts of this great district. The trail to the Omineca river gold- field is now open, and operators are beginning to rush men and sup- plies in to the creeks. The higher parts of the trail to Ground- hog mountain and the upper Skeena district are still covered with snow, but with the prospect of an unusually early season, the coal men and others who are developing the resources of the newer part of the Northern Interior are busy preparing for a strenuous season, and within two weeks a large amount of supplies will be sent over the trail to the north. Miners and prospectors interested in the Nine-mile camps, Rocher de Boule, Hudson Bay mountain, Telkwa, Babine and other nearby districts, ave already on the ground or procuring their supplies, and notwithstanding the retarding effect of thesfreight embargo, Omineca-Bistrict ig well started on what4 should prove the greatest season of development it has yet seen. It is reported that Engineer Kerr, representing the Railway Board, will arrive at Prince Rupert today for the purpose of inspec- ting the second secticn of the railway, between Vanarsdol and|. Skeena Crossing. Tit is announced that he will submit a tele- graphie report to the Board, so that the people of the district may look for transportation facilities within a week, provided the rail- way company has the new seetion in condition to pass inspection. Many and loud have been the complaints respecting the total lack of transportation for freight and passengers : between . Vanarsdol and Hazelton, and great injury has been inflicted by those -respon- sible for the conditions which have so retarded business during the. oe last few weeks, If the road is approved and a train service in-|. augurated, our grievances will be soon forgotten in the effort to keep pace with the great development which will follow: ae te If the reliabil ity ‘of the Vancouver Sun is to: be gauged by the character of its. Hazelton correspondence, that journal is unlikely to gain a very enviable reputation. The latest issue of the Sun to reach us contains a garbled report of the last meeting of. the Board : of Trade which makes it evident that the local correspondent of the paper, whoever he may be, ig a New Hazelton partisan without the sense of fairness which is desirable i in-&2 newspaper writer. . He concludes his misleading account. of the abortive attempt to stam- pede the Board by alleging ‘‘At the present time the Board is stated to be ina bad light.” —sEt is well-known to the people of Hazelton ‘that a majority of the Board of ‘Trade has been and is in favor of the South Hazelton townsite, ....,, The members did not place them- salves on record: previous to the first hearing of, the ease, through a perhaps mistaken reluctance to: antagonize the minority and: a confidence 'that- “the petition af the townspeople asking fora station ‘on Lot 851 would be granted by the Railway: Board: the Sun does, that the South Hazelton people waited until after the. decision was. rendered before they ‘ ‘got, busy, with promises ‘of free lots, ete.”? is deliberate misrepreseritation., , On the other. hand, it was not until after the Board of Trade at. a regularly called meeting, passed a strong resolution, previously endorsed. by the council of the Board, stating. its’ preference for South Hazelton, that any concessions to the people of. the present town were an- nounced by the New Hazelton interests, oa On Tuesday the whole: question ig to be: reopened by the ‘yail- way Board, arid while it will.come up in a more complicated form, owing to the introduction of new interests, there is a strong proba- bility that it will be decided in amanner satisfactory to the. majority of: Hazelton people, who have placed themselves on record g as fayor- ing South Hazelton. woe Tg .
