CITY ELECTION

Auditor Asked to Submit
Concrete Proposal AT
Next Meeting

A bond election likely will be
called at the next regular meeting
Of the city commission to provide
for refunding the city indebtedness.
Mayor A. B. Cole at a commission
meeting this morning asked Auditor
j. S. Ford to be prepared to submit
a concrete proposal at the next
meeting.
"You will have to increase as
sessed valuations, increase the tax
rate or vote refunding bonds" Ford
told the commission.
"And the economical thing to do
would be to issue low interest bonds
to retire high interest warrants" he
added.
1--WE have been informed that we
should refund our Indebtedness by
leading bond buyers and bond attor-

Cobolini said.
Every member Of the court ap-
peared to be ready to call an cleo

was presented.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1929-03-28
Panhandle a Hindrance

All other routes from the coast to Northern B. c. pass through the mar row strip of Southern Alaska. Un- doubtedly this is a disadvantage and probably has been an important fac tor in hindering development, but one which it does not appear possible at present to overcome.
 The most southerly route is the Unuk river, which at certain stages of water can be navigated with diff culty to the boundary. Some years ago road existed as far as the third canyon, which is we'll inside B. C., and also within the mineralized zone. The bridges are now cut but the road could be rehabilitated at no great cost and probably the con- struction of a railway would be quite feasible.
 From the head of Bradford Canal. north of the Unuk river, access can be gained to the Upper Iskut river by a low pass just west. of the interna- tional boundary. This route has not been opened up and does not seem comparable to that up the Stikine river. By this river and it's tributa- ries over 100 miles of contact is readily accessible.
 At present during the open season regular weekly service by fairly large boats is maintained between Wrangell, Alaska, at the mouth of the river, and Telegraph Creek.
 Iskut river is navigable by large boats for a considerable distance and the Clearwater, another tributary [of the Stikinel by small boats for about 20 miles.
 Roads and railways could probably be constructed fairly easily along the main valleys and many of the tribu- taries.
 The Whiting is a very swift and dangerous river but it can be navi- gated for some distance and may af- ford means of ingress to the mineral ized zone.
 The Taku river can be readily navigated to the Inklin and for part or all of the distance by fairly large boats. The valley is said to be suit able for the construction of rail- ways. Much of the area in the north can easily be reached by railway and boat service through Atlin district
The Wrangell sentinel., 1929-03-28
Cassiar Batholith

In the central part of Northern B. c. is another batholith; although it has not been definitely establish ed that the Cassiar batholith is con- tinuous with the 0mineca batholith such is believed to be the case. Along the east side of this in the Finlay area the presence of mineral ization has been we'll established by recent discoveries.
 A similar mineralized zone occurs on the east side of the Cassiar batho- lith and if these gigantic masses are linked together it is not unreason- able to suppose that the mineralized zone is also continuous. There is some evidences of naturalization along the western flank of the Cas- siar-Omineca batholith but so far in formation about this area is very scanty. Nothing of a very encourage ing nature has yet been found, but this zone must also be considered as a potentiality.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1929-03-28
Lode Mining Advances

During recent years through the bringing into prominence of the Fer guson mine considerable prospecting has been done for lode deposits in the Finlay river area. There has also been some activity in a small sec tion around Atlin, but the vast terri tory between this and the Portland Canal district has been largely neg lected. During the last three years the average number of hard rock prospectors actively engaged in this whole area would probably not greatly exceed fifteen; certainly the number would be but small frac- tion of those working within the few hundred square miles adjacent to Stewart.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1929-03-28
Other Industries

The established industries of Northern B.C.. except mining devel- opments of the Finlay and Atlin dis tricts. do not offer very great pros pective profits for the near future.
 Trapping under the present sys- tenn where each individual practices conservation for his own salvation, will long continue to be the source of a small income and this business can be considerably expanded, for in cer- tain sections there are numerous splendid trap line areas unoccupied, and the possibilities of fur farming are still to be considered. Big game hunting will also continue to be a source of livelihood to few since in those sections where parties are most frequently conducted there is as yet no apparent decrease in the quantity of game The Stikine river, Dease Lake and the Atlin routes offer un- excelled avenues for the development of that pseudo rustic tourist traffic which is now SO popular.
 While these do not offer very prosperous future there would seem to be great potentialities in the un- developed resources, especially min eral.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1929-03-28
A HIGHLY UNPARALLELED
 ZONE NEGLECTED
Did Some Good

The Gold Pan stampede, however, had two salutary results. The in creased demand for passage on the Stikine river brought about the es- tablishment of a splendid boat serv- ice between Wrangell and Tele- graph Creek during the summer months, and the inadeQuacy of the old pack trail from Telegraph creek to Dease Lake brought about it's re- placement by an excellent automo- bile road. Thus ready access to the heart of Northern B. c. has been af- forded. These two features together with the developments at the Fergu- son mine on Inginika river, and in that vicinity, seem to be the only outstanding evidences of recent progress in this part of the province.
 It is interesting to note that the total permanent white population of the northern 100000 square miles excepting a small corner in the vii cinity of Atlin is less than 100, while south of this and even to the north the ratio of population is con- siderably greater.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1929-03-28
Big Mineral Zone

It has long been known that a fairly broad area along the eastern contact of the Coast Range Batho- lith in British Columbia constitutes a zone where geological conditions are favorable for the occurrence of mineral deposits. This contention has been amply borne out by the discovery of many valuable ore de- posits in areas adjacent Portland Canal, Alice Arm, Atlin and other points farther north and south. In fact it is believed that most of the ore deposits of western British Co., lumbia owe their origin to the same forces which developed this large granatic mass (Coast Range Batho- lith) extending as it does along the coast throughout the Province. A study of geological maps of B. c. shows that wherever the zone east of that mass is cut by rivers inlets or railroads, in other words, wherever it is readily accessible, there have been numerous discoveries of miner al deposits and some of the most fa- nous mining camps are so located. A map showing the location of mines would seem to indicate that the zone favorable for mineraliza- tion is discontinuous between Stew art and Atlin but geological opinion suggests that this is not the case and the explanation lies rather in a dis continuity of development than in any actual change of physical con ditions. fs
The Wrangell sentinel., 1929-03-28

mention since the larger valleys are generally we'll wooded-the lower flats with cottonwood and the slopes with spruce,A hemlock and balsam. Throughout the area there is an abundance of water power during the summer, but probably the winter supply is limited. It Is not likely that the area will prove to be of much value for agriculture although along the Stikine river. below Telegraph Creek and at other favorable spots, vegetables and berries are grown of a quality which cannot be excelled anywhere. Most of these other assets however will await the development of the mineral resources since these seem destined to be of major impor- tance. at least in opening up the country.
 More than anything else northern B. c. needs prospectors and there Is much to warrant fully the belief that honest effort will be met with just reward. Following in their foot steps will come capital, industry and prosperity in which north and south alike will share.
