Annual Christmas tree sales help everyone from Beavers to
Venturers. Scouts and hardy leaders cut the trees locally each
year and the money raised is split between all groups to help
pay for activities and-equipment. Above, Matthew Holland (left
rear), 7, and Steven Holland, 5, of the 4th Terrace Beavers
put in the Saturday afternoon shift with the help of three-year-

old 4th Beaver mascot Scott Winkler (front).

Snow knocks trees |

down, lights out

Power outages blacked: : out
areas of Terrace on four separate
occasions last Friday evening
and Saturday morning. The
cause of the outages was several
inches of wet, heavy snow that
caused tree branches to come
into contact with hydro lines. In
some cases, the snow load
caused entire trees to fall across
lines, and a few of them caught
fire for brief periods of time.

B.C. Hydro design and
accounts manager Susan Hen-
yecz says the first reported

- outage occurred in New Remo at

about 4:45 p.m.; power there
was restored later that evening.
At 5:56 p.m. the horseshoe area,
bench area and much of rural
district north of Terrace lost

: power for about 30 minutes. The

same. arca was hit with second
‘outage of about 45 minutes at
about 8 p.m.,and a third carly

Saturday morning between 4:30
a.m. and 5:25 a.m.

Henyecz says B.C. Hydro
would like to apologize to the
many customers who where
unable to contact them by tele-
phone due to a technical glitch.
The power outage affected the
hydro office as well, and when
an electrical generator automati-
cally kicked in it also threw a
switch activating their emerg-
ency telephone system.

As a result, calls were being
routed to unmanned phones in
the office rather than to an
answering service. Henyecz says
a few phone calls did get
through to the answering service,
though, and there were enough
of them to locate problem areas.
She adds that the problem has

been corrected and shouldn’t J

happen again.

Eskay Creek —

ihe operation, but he also said
‘Corona welcomes the chance to
develop Eskay alone. He added
that the two companies are in
agreement on calculations of ore
reserves and grade but used
different models to project the
return. Placer Dome had visual-
ized a 750-ton-per-day opera-
tion, but Corona is basing its
return projections on 400 tons
per day. |

‘Steen said a preliminary study
on the mine done by Kilborn
Engineering and received by
Corona last week estimates a
capital cost of $210 to develop a
thine at Eskay with production

costs of $150 an ounce. The

annual production is projected at |

250,000 ounces of gold and 10
million ounces of silver. The
report estimates the life of the
mine to be around eight years.

The announcement didn’t
affect trading in either com-
pany’s shares in a dramatic
manner. After the announcement
Corona dropped 50 cents to
$5.25 and Placer lost 3/8, open-
ing at $11.75 yesterday morning.
Jim Bartleit, a mining analyst

with Odlum Brown, said, “I _

don’t think it’s a big deal for
either one of these companies."
