Route to Fernie Opens Rich Elk Valley for Rail Line
The proposed Crow's Nest Southern railway from Jennings Montana up the Kootenay to the Elk and Fernie promises rich mineral and timber resources. The line would pass through open farming country with coal and oil prospects, timbered tracts, and dramatic caves near Morrissey. Coal indications run strongly for seventy miles north of Fernie, with large saw mills at Coal Creek and dense green timber north of Michel. The charter covers Elk valley to the main CPR line, suggesting expansion beyond Fernie and deeper exploitation of Dominion Coal reserves.
