a
large
number
were
present
to
show
the
Interest
that
is
taken
locally
in
mining.
The
meeting
was
very
enthusiastic
and
every
one
felt
confident
that
this
year
would
see
a
change
in
the
mining
situation
in
Omineca
as
every
sign
points
to
a
much
in
creased
activity
along
those
lines.
The
meettlng
also
expressed
great
appreciation
of
the
action
of
the
provincial
government
in
its
decision
to
establish
a

at
Prince

arid
it

Disappointment
at
the
failure
of
the
governments
to
rebuild
the
bridge
of
the
Avellng
Coal
Co.
across
the
Telkwa
River
was
expressed
at
the
meeting.
The
Avc-.'ilng
Coal
Co.
had
built
a
good
bridge
a
few
years
ago
and
then
it
was
hit
by
another
bridge
that
had
been
dislodged
farther
up
the
river
and
floated
downstream.
Since
that
time
these
people
have

are
mining
and
shipping
coal
under
a
great

for
want
of
the

whbh
they
are
not
financially
able
to
