writes,
Charles
F.
deGanahl
of
White
Plains,
New
York,
in
a
letter
to
the
Vanderhoof
District
Board
of
Trade
which
has
been
passed
on
to
the

Columbia.
"I
would
first
like
to
lay
down
a
few
general
principles,
which
I
think
should
be
followed
In
order
to
foster
the
mining
Industry.
"My
Information
Is
that
some
sixty
or
seventy
years
ago
there
were
three
or
four
thousand
people
successfully
mining
gold
from
placers
In
the
Omineca
area.
This
Industry
slowly
died
from
two
causes.
First
the
old
timers
could
only
work
to
the
top
of
the
water
table,
except
as
they
could
secure
drainage
by
tunnelling
or
otherwise
to
the
bedrock.
The
cost
of
freight
was
twenty-five
to
thirty
cents
a
pound.
Machinery
was
out
of
the
question,
A
placer
had
to
be
extremely
rich
to
enable
them
to
make
a
living.
To
a
large
extent,
they
worked
out
the
gold
down
to
the
water
level.
Then
other
fields
came
In,
and
drew
them
away
to
other
districts.
Thus
the
area
re
mained
forgotten
for
some
sixty
or
seventy
years.
Today,
to
my
way
of
thinking,
the
best
Indicator
for
sold
in
the
Omineca
district
Is
to
10
to
the
old
workings
and
ascer
tain
If
the
oldtlmers
succeeded
In
draining
their
find,
or
rather
succeeded
in
finding
bedrock.
If
they
did
not,
I
think
it
usually
will
be
found
that
the
richest
part
of
their
mines
was
still
in
the
ground
when
they
abandoned
them.
of
roads
has
been
largely
along
the
line
of
least
resistance
In
British
Columbia,
and
In
many
other
places.
That
is,
along
the
general
slopes
or
flatlands.
Gold
Is
found
in
the
difficult
country
rugged
and
steep
hills.
This
means
that
roads,
where
at
all
approaching
the
gold
bearing
country,
terminate
before
they
get
to
the
gold.
"Certainly,.
If
we
are
to
get-to
the
gold,
the
roads
and
trails
must
penetrate
Into
the
area
where
the
gold
Is;
.because
we
cannot
take
It
out
by
hand,
or
can
we
get
machinery
into
the
area
unless
we
have
roads
and
trails
to
do
It
with.
Hence
roads
and
trails
are
the
first
essential.
I
believe
that
your
minister
of
mines
Is
deeply
con
scious
of
this'
fact
as
there
is
every
jvldence
that
this
is
the
case.
"We
must
not
forget,
however,
that
roads
and
trails
are
merely
ihe
beginning
the
arteries
that
enable
us
to
get
the
tools
into

and
the
