Question Looms Over Subsidy for Railways in Provincial Assembly
Legislative session opens next week at Victoria with a minefield of railway subsidies. Proposals from the Coast-Kootenay line to Midway to Spences Bridge face opposition and potential provincial Dominion collaboration. CP Rail eyes Midway and Vernon control, while V and E and local interests push for favorable running privileges. Dunsmuir opposes provincial charter and subsidy though farmers want direct access to mining regions. Delegates from Phoenix poised to rally boundary interests at Kaslo meeting as hockey carnival and local events stir activity.

Improving facilities double tracking at several mines
The Granby Mines policy under Superintendent Williams doubles main track at the 200 and 300 foot levels of the Old Ironsides and Victoria mines to speed ore removal and timbering. A prior double tracking at Knob Hill has paid for itself, with capacity to ship 1,060 tons daily if other machinery fails. The move is part of broader underground improvements to enhance mine development and output.
