Copper Refinery | On
This Coast Is Urged

by Resident Engineer £

 

 

Possibilities of Lead, Zine and Silver Refining Are Also
Alluded to By Dr. J. T. Mandy in Speaking .
Before Rotary Club

 

A strong argument in favor of the establishment of a
copper refinery on the Pacific Coast, with the possibilities
of refineries for lead, zine and silver and the establishment
of works for the processing of copper and other metals,
was made out in an address to the Prince Rupert Rotary
Club at its weekly luncheon here yesterday by Dr. J. T.
Mandy, resident mining engineer.%
He showed that in 1930, the latest] ts
figures available, the production of Not Retiring
copper at Anyox amounted to ap-|
proximately 23,500,000 pounds and
at Britannia 22,500,000 pounds.
There were all kinds of potential
sources Of supply on Vancouver

 

For the other metals mentioned

aS soon as the market improved
sufficiently to make it worth while
mining and the market would re-
turn, he believed, just as -soon~as
industrial conditions improved

Dr. Mandy showed that it was a
hardship for producers on the coast
to have to ship to Trail or to other
smelters or refineries. He had been
told that, if Britannia stopped ship-
ping to Tacoma, the smelter there
would have to close. This showed
the possibilities in British Colum-
bia, with two such large sources of
supply. There were at present only |
three copper refineries in Canada
at Trail, at Copper Cliff and at
Montreal. Noranda, with an output
of 65,000 tons, kept up a smelter, a
refinery and a processing plant. If
such were established on this coast
it would mean a tremendous im-
petus to business generally. People
had no definite comprehension of
of the possibilities. With the new
Empire market and with the wa-
terpowers available on this coast

DEEP SNOW SAVED TOWN
OF STEWART FROM MORE
SERIOUS DAMAGE IN FIRE

Further Details of Big Conflagrati Conflagration Brought te City By
Arrivals From North Last Night

 

The fact that there was snow to the depth of two or
three feet on the roofs of the buildings prevented even
more extensive destruction being wrought by the $60,000
fire which visited the town of Stewart on Tuesday morn-
ing, it is reported by arrivals in the city last evening from
the Portland Canal mining camp. The deep snow made it
