Gold

TERRACE — Investigators are
trying lo deteymine what caused a
Central Mountain Air DC-3 carga
plane to crash ata gold mine near
Stewart fast week.

The crash killed both crew
members — pilot Grant David
John Webb and co-pilot Manfred
Emest Harrichhausen. Both were
36-year-old Smithers residents,

The DC-3, an 18-scaler aircrafi
converted to carry about three
tonnes of cargo, took off at 8:30
a.m. Jan. 13 from the Bronson
Creck airstrip on the Iskut River
bound for Wrangell, Alaska.

It carried two 3,000-Ib bags of
geld ore concentrate from Com-
inco's SNIP gold mine,

“They took off, got into the air,
made a tum and then ran into
trauble,”’ said Stewart coroner

Terry Heinricks.

The plane rolfed upside down
and then crash-landed on the icy
banks of the Iskut River about
500 yards from the end of the
runway, he said.

A “tremendous” fire ensued,
Heinricks said, destroying the

. plane,

The temperature was about -15
degrees Celsius and the weather

- was-clear-at the time of the'crash.-
The pilots flew the run between .

the mine and Wrangell several
times a day. It was to be the first
flight of the day.

“This was a crew, that was very

familiar with the airport, with the
condilions, and with the route,”
‘Heinricks added.

. Company officials estimate
Webb had flown the Wrangell-
Bronson Creek trip about 2,500

plane crashes

limes,

The crash came just three days
before Central Mountain Air’s
contract to service the mine site
was to end.

The DC-3 was the fourth Cen-
tral Mountain Air plane to go
down in as many years.

A DC-3 burned on the muway
al Bronson Creck after an engine

fire May 21, 1989...

Three crew members aud three

: passengers died when another

CMA DC-3 went down. Apr. 4,
1991. on Thulade Lake, 250km
north of Smithers.

And a pilot and three pas-
sengers died Sept. 12, 1992 when
a four-sealer Cessna 206 under
charter from CMA crashed while
attempting to land at a remote
Babine River fishing camp.

Claims deadline to change?

' TERRACE — A March deadline

to have a preliminary Nisga’a
land claims deal completed could
be extended, says a federal Jand
claims official,

“All: three parties have dis-
cussed this at great length. Al-
though they are making best ef-
forts, if may not be possible to.
have an agreement in principle

» completed,” said Susan. Sieg last:

weck.
The discussions on extending
the deadline lank place during a

‘negotiating session here.

The March deadline is part of

“an agreement signed in 1991 be-

tween the Nisga’a Tribal Council

.and the federal and provincial

governments,

Sieg said negotiators for the
three parties do not regard the
March 1993 deadline as a fixed
date that could cause problems if
an agreement is not concluded.

_ The three parties are still com-
mitled to an agreement, They,are
working toward that, to get it
done,” she said. ;

Sieg said.au announcement on a
deadline extension is expected

goon.

Progress has been slower than
expected. since negotiations be-
gan.

While there are whal are called
main table negotiations, the
parties have also created a num-
