TERRACE — Murray Pezim’s
Prime Resources has been add-
ed to the list of companies
negotiating for a road into the
gold-rich Iskut Valley area
north of Stewart.

Company spokesman Ralph
Brown said last week the com-
pany wants the road so it can
build a connection to its Eskay .
Creek development project in
the Iskut area.

The road is expected to start
at Bob Quinn on Hwy37 and
lead into the Iskut with com-
panies building their.own con--
nections to their own proper-
ties,

Jail site delayed

TERRACE | The B.C.
Buildings Corporation (BCBC)
has extended until July 9 the
deadline for a Terrace property
owner to accept:its final offer
for land on which it wants to
build a new correctional centre.
Although BCBC had
originally indicated last Friday
was the deadline for either
securing the property
described as the most suitable
site — or eliminating it from its
short-list of three, spokesman
John Murphy said complica-
tions arose forcing the two par-
ties to agree to a new timetable.
Although Murphy would not
‘reveal the location of the pro-
perty, he confirmed it was not
on the bench, the location of
other sites described as high on
the correctional centre site list.
In a letter to mayor Jack
Talstra, Solicitor General Russ
Fraser agreed that a Keith
Avenue site suggested by coun-
cil “‘would'be ideal.”
Talstra last week declined to
identify the Keith Ave. parcel
favoured by. the city because it

‘might compromise purchase
