VoL. IV. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1914,

Although financial conditions resulting from the war have had
a deterrent effect on many new enterprises, it is hoped that the
Pacific, Peace River and Athabasca railway, which will open up a
vast and potentially rich territory in Northern British Columbia,
will be proceeded with, The ultimate expenditure on the scheme
when the work as contemplated is completed will be in the, neigh-
borhood of $100,000,000, according to C. F, Law, representing G.
Thomas, the Welsh coal magnate, who is at the head of the
enterprise, ‘‘We have had five reconnaisance survey parties in the
field all summer, eevering the territory From the mouth of the Naas
River through the Groundhog country to the Peace River and east-
ward to the Athabasca River,’’ said Mr. Law. ‘“I'wo permanent
locations have been established for the tramway surveys and
preliminary work at Vermillion Chutes on the Peace River, and at
Smith’s Rapids, on the Slave River, Atthese points are the only
natural obstructions to navigation, — .

Mr. Law was enthusiastic over the immense natural resources
of the north country, which is only awaiting transportation facilities
to make it one of the greatest in the Dominion. The company has

“There appears to be no limit to: the natural wealth of that

of gold, copper, nickel and hematite iron, and if the geological
features are any indication, there is a large deposit of - potash

Road and Trail Work
Considerable unfavorable criti-
cism has of late been directed at
the government for alleged short-
comings in the matter of road
and trail work, some of the
statements being ao bitterly hos-
tile as to invite the inference
that they are actuated by local
selfishness, political, prejudice or
personal animosity.
Looking at the matter. solely
from the viewpoint of the proa-
pector and mine owner, and with
no political axe togrind or wild-cat
town lots to peddle, it appears to
us that everybody is getting a
square deal, and that the. men
having the road - and trail work
in charge are conducting it im-
partially, honestly and. intelli-
gently, and for the best interests
of the mining industry as a
whole,—Chaleopyrite
