The highway would go south of Prudhomme Lake over an easy divide of about five hundred feet to the head of Warke Canal, then following a natural easy route between the mountains to Skeena City. The river is a mile and a half wide at tnat . point so a power ferry similar to that on Francois Lake would be necessary to take passengers and cars, to and fro The highway would then follow the south bank of the Skeena River to Remo. where it would connect up with the Terrace high way system, a distance of approxi mately eighty- miles- from Taylot Lake, to which point the road will have, been completed this winter. There Is possibility of iah alter nate route from' the nlghborhood of the Hot Springs on the soutl bank of the Skeena, following tht Scotia River over a divide to the headwaters of the Wedeene Rivet to Join with the Kltlmat River onl5 a few miles up from Kltlmat and I then following that valley through to Lakelse. This route Is long but It might prove to be easlei to build than the other end and It would open up new country. It would be Investigated thoroughly before any highway route was finally decided upon. In any event the difference In cost would be very slight. Only Feasible Route Both air and land Investigation shows that there Is no feasible route through the mountains be tween the Skeena and Naas Rivers and no1 feasible route for a high-- way connecting Prince Rupert with the Naas. It may be possible to get through as far as the Khutza-mateen River but that would be of little value. Beyond that Is a bar rier of high mountains. The proposed route for the high way would open up very little valuable land unless it should take the route through the Kltl mat Valley. It would, give access to a number of lakes went up the Skeena, would open to settlement a few small areas that might develop Into dairy farms.
