East Kootenay Rail Link and Mineral Wealth Prospects
A proposed Crow's Nest Pass Railway line would connect Fort Steele and surrounding districts, enabling transport for mining districts including high grade copper and lead ores and alluvial gold. The plan requires a government charter, with potential dividends during and after construction as foreseen by observers in 1890s British Columbia. The London Times highlights East Kootenay's rich mineral prospects and the wider Canadian population growth projections.
