Groundhog
Coal
Field
EXHAUSTIVE
BRIEF
and
resolution
seek-"
AN
ing
a
complete
geological
survey
of
the
Groundhog1
coal
field
which'
was
dispatched
last
year
from
the
Associated
Boards
of
Trade
annual
convention
at
Terrace
and
which
was
followed
up
by
wires
sent
a
few
days
ago
by
the
Associated
Boards
executive
to
the
minister1
of
natural
resources
at
Ottawa,
Hon.-
E.
T.
Kenney
of
Skeena
and
H.
G.
Archibald,
M.P.
for
Skeena,
at
Ottawa,
has
had
gratifying
result.
Mr.
Glen,
"the
federal
minister,
has
admitted
the
warrant
of
such
a
survey
being
made1
and,
with
that
end
in
view,
announces
there
will
be
preliminaries
carried
out
this
year
so
that
the-survey
may
be
undertaken
next
year.
It
is
in
keeping
with
the
new
interest
that
is
becoming
so
increasingly
manifest
every
day
in
this
part
of
British
Columbia
that
the
government
should
get
the
record
up-to-date
on
what
mining
engineers
as
far
back
as
nearly,
forty
years
ago
in
their
reports-
indicated
to
be
the
largest
coal
field
iii'Canada.
The'
Geological
Survey
was
in
the
area
ili;1912
and
there
were-also
extensive
examinations
in
the
early
days
on'
behalf
of
private
interests.
Since-World
War
II,-
however,
there-has
been
little
active
interest
in-.the
region.
The
idea
of
the-survey
is-'to
obtain
a;
true
and
up-to-date
appreciation
of
the
extent
and
vame'qf
the
field
so
that
capital
may
be
interested
in
its
development.
The
Groundhog
coal
fields
are
located
near
the
;headwaters
of
theSkeena,
Naas
andStikine
Rivers
approximately1
150
mires
north'
of
"Hazelton
and
105
"miles
east
of.
Stewart.
The'total
extent
of
the
field
;is
estimated
at
an
area
of
'75
by.
30'
miles
and
the
;semi-anthraeite-coal
content
is
hazarded
to
be
well
upwards
of
a
billion'
tons.
Just
before
World
War
I
a
good
deal
of
interest
;was
focussed
on
the
Groundhog
coal
fields
when,
as
a
result
of
investigation
and
promotion
by
R.
C.
'Campbell-Johnston,
a
prominent
British
Columbia
mining-,
engineer;
Lord
Rhondda.
Welsh
coal
baron,
!became:
interested
and,
indeed,
was
considering
Iplans
for
a
railroad
to'open
up
the
area
and
connect
with
the
tHen
Grand
Trunk
Pacific
Railway
near
Terrace.
However
Lord
Rhondda
'died
and
rwith
him
the
great
idea.
;
The
depletion
of'
some
of
the
older
coal
fields
and
the
need
for1
more
efficient
coal
mining
pro-dnctiornntdiids
has
given
rise
to
thejsuggestion
that
this
might
be
an
appropriate
time
fdr
the
opening
up
of
this
admittedly
great
new
field.
It
is
."satisfactory
therefore,
that
the
federal
government,
through
its
minister,
deems
it
advisable
that
Jadequate-
surveys
should
be
made
and
that
steps
with
that
end
in
view
are
to
be
taken
without
delay.
