generating
plant
at
Big
Falls,
on
the
Ecstall
River,
a
plant
that
can
be
increased
by
the
in-stallation
of
additional
units
according
to
the
demands
made
upon
it.
While
the
new
plant
was
commenced
some
months
ago,
most
of
the
work
on
it
will
be
done
next
year
and
officials
of
the
company
state
that
it
is
the
intention
to
rush
work
on
it
so
as
to
be
readv
for
any
eventualities.
It
is
scheduled
for
openintr
next
1
b
September.
During
the
year
the
Big
Bay
Lumber
Company
has
extended
its
operation,
so
that
it
has
been
cutting
regularly
something
like
60,000
feet
of
lumber
a
day,
and
has
been
operating
a
planing
mill
and
box
factory
and
turningbut
a
large
quantity
of
aeroplane
spruce.
Logging
in
the
district
has
been
well
ahead
of
1928,
but
there
has
been
disappointment
that
the
new
Bill-mor
mill
at
Porpoise
Harbor
has
not
operated
yet.
It
is
planned
to
commence
cutting
there
in
the
spring.
A
new
departure
in
the
lumber
business
has
been
the
cutting
and
shipping
from
the
Queen
Charlotte
Inlands
of
rived
spruce
by
which
a
larger
percentage
of
the
high-grade
lumber
is
saved.
This
promises
to
develop
into
an
important
indugtry.
Fishing
during
the
year
has
been
good.
The
halibut
catch
amounting
to
approximately
28,000,000
pounds
was
nearly
a
million
pounds
higher
than
for
1928
and
the
prices
averaged
slightly
higher.
Also
the
prices
paid
for
salmon
were
higher
than
ever
before
so
that
fishermen
on
the
whole
did
well.
Grain
shipping
has
been
a
disappointment
owing
to
the
tieup
and
small
crop.
However,
Prince
Rupert
people
are
very
hopeful
of
the
western
outlet
of
the
Peace
River
country
being
built
soon
and
that
they
will
benefit
very
materially
from
it.
In
mining,
the
advent
of
the
Britannia
company
to
Alice
Arm,
steady
production
at
Anyox
owing
to
the
high
price
of
copper,
,
the
taking
control
of
the
Owen
Lake
property
by
NQafyTimmms
and
the
steady
development
.t
Stewart
ana
at
interior
points
have
been
high
marks
in
the
pathway
of
progress.
At
Queen

Islands
there
has
been
a
little
development
work
going
on
and
oil
prospecting
commenced
and
it
la
said
will
be
continued
next
year.
Also
experiments
have
been
made
with
gold

from
the
black
sands.
