Dining room and restaurant IN COAL (Special Correspondence) With the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, the Queen Charlotte group of Islands standing but eighty miles from the city of Prince Rupert, has been brought prominently before the incoming capitalists and settlers. A wealth of timber covers the main island, where numerous parties of surveyors are now engaged in proving the various claims made by the locators. It has _ been asserted by the geologists, who visited and reported on the islands, that coal and oil will be exported in large quantities from the de- positis on Graham Island. Expert Opinions The late Professor Dawson re- ported, some twenty-five years ago that the coal and oil hidden beneath the land on Graham Is- land, woulf prove of inestimable value. The geological survey of Robert Bell and R. W. Ells show, that ‘from Frederick Island to Otard Cove is an oil territory, the tarry matter occurring in the Basalt rock.’’ A few years ago, a Chicago firm installed a plant on Masset Inlet, and boring for coal took place. For reasons best known to the parties engaged in the work, no report was made public of the result. Recently a plant, costing over $10,000 was installed at Tiahn on the West Coast of Graham Island, where your correspondent inspected the ground and found every indication of results that will astonish the most optimistic. Splendid Showings Experts from all parts of the world have visited the West Coast of Graham Island, and all are surprised at the showings. Along the shore line the tarry matter is oozing from the rocks. The shale and basalt make a better covering than can be seen in any other “oil camp.’’ The ground in the immediate neighborhood of the plant has been staked and recorded and it is within the possibilities of the near future that oil wells will be pouring forth their ‘‘gushers.’’ Already the men engaged have bored over sixty feet below the surface and are poistive that they wili meet with success. Seven men, under and experienced ‘‘driller,’’ are work ing at the plant and it is reported that there are three more outfits soon to be in the field. Your correspondent has over the whole of the territory. With him was a man who owns “‘oil’’ property in the United States, and the trip was made to exploit been the interior of the island. The jindications for oil can be seen on every hand and there is no doubt that the country is on the eve of development work that will bring this Province more prom- inently before the world than anything before discovered. A Hazardous Coast The West Coast of Graham Island is a very inhospitable place. The Pacific Ocean sweeps moun- tainous waves ashore, which would engulf any small craft, and is even dangerous for large vessels. The rocky shores are seamed and torn it would not be wise for navigators to visit the locality in any craft that would not stand wind and weather. In the interior, the ground is swampy and hilly, the valleys are made up of ‘‘mus- keg” and there is little clear land. There is a good route for a rail- way from Naden Harbor or Macest Inlet, and it is understood that three railway companies have se- cured charters to build roads— when conditions warrant. Coal is There The evidence of coal lands are EEE Corley & Burgess, rops . {NEERT YOUR LAND PURCHASE Re " naa va THE ~~ 4 MALLE ABLE “The ‘Stay Satisfactory’ Range’ THIRD ANENUE ° The Kaien Hardware Company THE DAILY NEWS GRAHAM ISLAND IS RICH AND OIL LANDS West Coast of the Island is Declared by Experts to be “Oil Territory’’--News Correspondent Visits The Drilling Camps plain, on Yakoun River and at Skidegate. Two companies are now engaged in development work and others will have their plants ihe in a short time. The black sands on the shore of the East Coast, carry gold; but the difficulty in clearing the ‘‘rust”’ from the mineral, and extracting the “‘iron’’ from the gold has been a drawback, which has kept many from exploiting the beaches. That they are rich in gold, is acknow- ledged by all who have attempted to mine from Rose Spit and Cape Ball. on giound, Other Valuable Deposits The wealth of copper at Ikeda, Jedway and other portions of Moresby Island will mean a source of profit to the owners of the mines in those localities, while the gold deposits at ‘Gold Harbor” and in other localities are but harbingers of the future development that will bring to light the potential- ities of the group of islands. The waterways and _ fishing grounds, with the timber and other means of supporting a large number of persons, will be written about in a future report. Fortunes for Some At the present time few of the residents of Prince Rupert realize the opportunities offered on the adjacent The in population, following the con- struction of the railway, will bring capital and labor to exploit. and develop thé territory now almost unknown. The opening up of country follows in the wake of the “iron horse’; but both land and sea offer inducements on the Queen Charlotte group of islands that will be better understood when these who are now engaged islands. increase in development work reap the benefits that so many in a new couniry cannot be brought to realize until the opportunities are lost. The prediction is made that the few now occupying the island, who understand the conditions of things there, will shortly profit by their persistence and a number of thriving cities will result from the splendid opporiunities offered on Queen Charlotte Islands.
