The
development

resources

Telkwa

depend
upon
the

at
Prince
Ru
pert,
since
transportation
by
rail
alone
would
make
the
product
quite
unsuitable
for
a
competitive
market.
The
Telkwa
coal
has
been
given
a
rating
higher
than
that
of
any
other
Pacific
deposit.
While
the
full
extent
of
the
deposits
has
not
yet
been

one
of
the
two
collieries
presently
operating
on
a
small
scale
has
a
deposit
of
35
million
tons
proven
and
53
million

estimated.
The

to
be

Recently
the
Bulkley
Valley
Collieries
of
Telkwa
had
an
opportunity
to
export
a
large
quantity
of
coal
over
a
period
of
time,
the
quantity
under
discussion
being
some
100,000
tons
per
year.
The
collieries
were
ready
to
make
an
experimental
shipment
of
8,000
tons
of
this
order,
but
solely
because
there
are
no
coal
handling
facilities
at
Prince
Rupert,
all
this
business
was
lost.
Another
possible
order
of
some
100,000
tons
was
also

but
lack
of

brought

Reference
is
made
to
the
recent
press
reports
that
30,000
tons
of
coal
from
Blairmoie,
Alberta,
is
now
moving
to
China
through

This
correspondent
has
been
informed
that
there
are
at
the

bunkers
at
Jasper

the

type
(over

which
have
been
used
up
to

by
the

Our

is
that

that
the
reason
for

-is
that
the
present
bunkers
are
an
eyesore
in
what
is
primarily
a
tourist
resort.
It
is
reported
that
the
material,

etc.,
is
in
good
condition
and
easily
and
feasibly
salvageable,
and
that
it
is
quite
practicable
to
utilize
this
for

at
Prince

Surely,
if
it
is
sound
.economics
to
go
to
the
expense
of
completely
rebuilding

facilities
lor
the
sake
of
tourist
attraction,
it
is
even
more
sound
to
build
bunkerage
for
the
sake
of

in

or
