BRIDGE OF LITIGATION Span at South Fort George Gets into Court Again The temporary bridge across the Fraser river above South Fort George was the subject of further court proceedings last week in Vancouver. The B. C. xpress company applied to have work on the bridge stopped on the ground that it interfered with their steamboats. The ap- plication was adjourned for a week. The G. T. P. has applied for an injunction against the Salmon River Lumber & Shingle company and Fort George Tim- ber & Trading company ordering them to remove a raft of logs from the bridge where it is now tied, and to stop them from sending further logs down the river until work on the bridge is completed. “One boom of logs came down and ripped out a lot of trestles of the bridge,” said Mr. F. W. Tip- pin for the railway company. “But what about the damage inflicted upon these other com- panies if their lumbering opera- tions have to stop?” asked Mr. Justice Morrison. “We will embody in the order an undertaking to make good whatever damage is caused them,” said Mr. Tiffin. An in- terim injunction was accordingly granted. Caught Many Whale The most recent catch by the steam whaler operated by the Canadian North Pacific Fisheries Limited, off the west coast of Vancouver island, was made at the Kyoquot station and con- sisted of nineteen whales, these including two sperm whales, eight humpbacks, four sulphur bottoms and five fins. The sperm whales are the most valu- able, as~ from the blubber of these the most valuable lubri- cuting oil is secured, Fell on a Hay Knife Edmonton, May 16,—Walter Lancey, son of Chief of Police A.

MANY ARE BOOSTING — FOR GROUNDHOG COAL Cardiff Magnate Is Now on Coast Endeavoring to Put Through Important Undertaking (Seattle P,-1. The prospective opening of the Panama canal, says Consul- General R. E. Mansfield of Van- couver, B.

This is especially true with re- gard to the coal mining interests anthracite coal lands by the British Columbia Anthra- syndicate, a e@émpany -com- posed of Quebee financiers, in what is known as the Groundhog jdistrict in British Columbia and estimated to contain 1,141,444,- 000 tons. In addition to the coal deposits, the company holds charters from both the Domin- ion and provincial for constructing a railway from the mouth of the Naas river into the coal fields, a distance of 140 miles, and beyond its. holdings for a distance of sixty miles. cite The product of the Groundhog district is said to be the oaly hard smokeless anthracite coal in the world outside of Wales, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The opening of the Panama ca- nal will enable naval and other vessels using hard coal to come through the canal with a small amount of fuel in their bunkers jand replenish their supplies at one of the Pacific stations with coal from the British Columbia mines, Nasoga bay, the proposed railway, is said to be admirably adapled for a_ coal- distributing point, the harbor be- ing well protected and capable of berthing large The es- timated cost of building a rail- way into the coal fields, equip- ping the colliery, providing roll- ing stock, buying coal-carrying ships and general organization on a working basis is $10,000,- 000, Engineers port for the vessels. who have surveyed to various industries, activity to} jshore line to point mined from the field to supply all the naval squadrons on the Pacific ocean with smokeless anthracite coal, and that on ac- count of its geographical loca- tion a port at the mouth of the Naas river could compete with Wales and Pennsylvania. lJ.
