BRINGING HANDS
FROM DOWN EAST
G.T. P. Ships Tninloadi ef Workers Frwo Befotd Rockies to Head of Steel West of YeDowkead
Last week a Grand Trunk Pacific train arrived from the east at the head of steel With a load of workers for the grade to reinforce the depleted gangs along the line, of construction in British Columbia. This consignment will be followed fcy others as fast as the employment agents acting for the contractors djan supply the
-' tlfci miwufrgul dm <Afot laborers, following dose on the return of President Chamberlain points to turner energetic efforts to recruit laborers/ in the east. fte president recently,, stated that the
"only thing hindering rapid construction was the dearth of hands on the grade and Ais difficulty the contractors are now trying to overcome.
All the men hired so far are being ¦hipped to Mile S3 and are being distributed to the different camps down tHe Fraser river. ¦¦.
COAL IN YELLOWHEAD
O. & Finnic, inspecting engineer for the department of the interior, who has just completed a trip over the Yellowhead Pass coal areas and has returned to Ot tawa to make his report, is enthusiastic over the future of the Yellowhead district aw one of the great coal areas of Canada.
"The arrival of the two new transcon. ttnental lines," says Mr. Finnie, "has been followed in the Yellowhead district by the opening of several mines. The coal being taken out is first class for steaming purposes and superior in quality to the article found on the prairies. Two companies are taking out 100O tons of coal per day and a third is about ready to ¦tart operations.''
The department is chiefly interested in the mines for the collection of the royal ty. Under the new regulations coal areas awe leased at one dollar per acre and five
sad the Cariboo road between Aahcrcf t '''Sod Soda Creek ¦ is literally covered with wagons. Indians have joined with white . men and all the men are laboring to get the great accumulation of waiting goods through, to the Fraser before the water becomes so low that the boats between Soda Creek and Fort George will be forced to .tie up. That time is not far distant, as was made evident when the steamer B.X. punched a hole in her bottom on the rocks below South Fort George the other day."
