WILLIAM FERNIE

The search for gold made many
early B.C. prospectors rich, but
one of the most successful of this
pioneer brotherhood was a man
who found not gold, but coal. And
the first time he found it, he pass-
ed it up as insignificant.

William Fernie was laying a
trail through the Crow’s Nest Pass,
accompanied by his brother Peter.
They saw a coal outcropping
but at the time they paid it little
heed. It wasn’t until years later,
in 1887, when railway construction
was starting and coal had a new
importance, that they formed a
company io find that body of
coal and developed it.

The result ‘was the famous
Fernie coal enterprise and the
town of. Fernie that built itself
around the mines, -

William Fernie was born in
Huntingdonshire, England in 1837.

He left school at an early age and|.

sought adventure in Australia,
New Zealand and South America.

Finally in 1860 he arrived in
the Crown Colony of Vancouver
Island, But that was too tame for
him tao. So he headed into the
wilderness of the adjoining colony

of British Columbia.

Success didn’t come easily. He
was just 23 then, For the next 27
years he worked his way through
the mountain settlements and
lonely valleys of B.C. He knew

Rock Creek, the Similkameen andj].

the Columbia River and he mined
for a time in the Kootenays and
then tried cattle ranching.

Between 1873-and 1882 he was
a government gold) commissioner
and he did short stints as a cus-
toms collector and a coroner of
the Kootenay district. Then when
he had reached an age when many
men are ready to shorten their
horizons, Bill Fernie earned his
fortune through his. invelyment
with the B.C. Southern Railway
and Crow’s Nest Pass: ‘Coal Com-
pany,

He lived many years in the
Kootenays and was past 60 when

he came again to Victoria to build
a home to settle. He died’ there at

the ‘age of 84 in 1921. He never

married. He was respected in the
community for many charities
while he lived and when he died
there was provision in the $253,000
estate for gifts of $50,000 to old
friends and $10,000 to the city's
Jubilee, Hospital.
