Lead bounty proposal stirs mining districts in Canada
Finance Minister Fielding introduced a bounty plan granting up to 100000 dollars per year for lead refined in Canada payable after July 1 1902. The scheme targets 20000 tons of refined lead in the first year, aiming to revive the moribund mining sector with strong support from advocates like G O Buchanan of Ruslo and delegations from the Kootenays. The Victoria Day celebration showcased robust local turnout and lively Caledonian sports despite some event clashes.
