book review *

A book of special interest to British
Columbians, where mining 44 one of the
princtpak industries, 44 The Town That Got
Lost by Pete Loudon. Mr. Loudon %&% a B.C.
newspaper man who Lived for 10 yeards of his
earky youth in Anyox, a thriving mining
townsite of the Granby Copper Mine. A
Strickky company town with no access to it
except by boat, it was a small world in
Athekf. He tells of his growing up there
with his family and frXends and of the many
explLoits of boyhood in a place where there
was no outside entertainment except for the
movie theater. He writes of the town
buildings, the people and then of the Great
Strike and the "Big Blast". The mine shut
down in the mddkle thirties and the towns-
people were forced to Leave and enter the
world of the Great Depression. Mr. Loudon's
book tells of how in 1971 he and two {rtends
flew into Anyox and proweled around the
nemains of the town, now given over to bush
and wild animals. This %& the kind of thing
that can happen to any mining town. This 4s
a great book to be nead by those of us old
enough to remember such times. It'S also
of much interest to younger readers who
have never had such experiences as these.
