Crow's Nest Line Key to Coal Boom and Smelting Power
The piece argues a railway spur between Crow's Nest coal fields and the Great Northern would secure a vast coal and coke market for British Columbia. It cites 250,000 acres with an estimated 20,000,000,000 tons of coal, notes potential smelting growth in Fernie and southern BC, and warns against export duties or competition from U S. lines. It concludes with a call for a charter to begin construction and claims broad economic benefits for BC, mining, and government revenue.
