Two Provincial Claims Before Federal Government
Two major claims are presented to the federal government. Nova Scotia seeks about 600000 to reimburse the subsidy paid for the eastern extension of the Canadian Pacific Railway branch, rejected by Sir Charles Tupper in 1808. Prince Edward Island also files a claim. A San Francisco dispatch notes a large mining machinery contract by Alaska Treadwell group and Fraser & Chalmers worth about 400000 for 620 Corlins engines and related equipment, with 830 stamps on a vein once 520 stamps are installed. A US bill would require $50 per claim after three months, aiming to deter prospectors and shift activity abroad.
