Mineral claim surveys planned under ministerial directive
A letter from the Minister of Agriculture and Mines notes surveys of mineral claims across the country. Mining men will be allowed to inspect areas to enable claim holders to start mining if promising. The St George coal area is already being surveyed by an American engineer with a diamond drill. A group of Wood Cruisers from International Paper Co visited by Kyle to inspect timber lands, with some landing at Gander Bay. If surveys show good prospects, further action is expected. The Gander Project has long been discussed, and cruiser surveys are believed to be funded by claim holders. Opportunities and prospects for fisheries may influence next steps.
