Mining Industry Is Backbone

_of New Organization.

Ina speech delivered at the
organization meeting of the Min-
ing Men’s Club, in, Vancouver,
President .R, R. Hedley said:

“Many people have rather

hazy ideas of mining and its|

branches. Mining will be the
backbone of the country in the
near future when the men who
know the possibilities of the re-
sources stored away by Nature,
have made it clear to the general

other husiness, for mining is a

mation as to the value of the

Hedley Says Groundhog Of.

fers Great Opportunity for|.’

Investment of Capital.

Robert R. Hedley, the noted]:
mining) engineer, speaking in
Vancouver regarding the Ground-
hog coal field, in which he is
largely interested, said it was
entirely a matter of transporta-
tion. Railway facilities must be
provided if thé coal measures
were to be worked, and. the pro-
ducts of the properties reaching
the outer world. In this fine

anthracite field there was a rreat|’

opportunity for the large capital-
ist willing to develop and operate.
“T look’’ he said, “‘to a solution
to this problem in the alterna-
tive of three lines, an extension
ofthe G. T. P. from Hazelton,
Canadian Northern activity from
Stewart on the Portland Canal
and also a private line down the
Naas river. Until one. of these
lines is built the coal measures
will resist development, for cheap
transport iseverything.’’ In ad-
dition to the Groundhog: proposi-
tion, Mr. Hedley is also enthusi-
astic for the Copper River field
of bituminous coal, from which
he anticipates a good supply ‘of
metallurgical coke, and also the
measures now in course of pros-
pecting near the Babine lake.

J, W. Austin, Provincial Assay-
er, will return to Hazelton about

May 15, and will resume business! ((
