_ SOCIETY RECEIVES}

GRANT

The Cassiar Concert Society heard recently that
their application for a provincial grant had been
_approved. The Society has been allowed the max-.
imum “Arts Resource Touring Subsidy”, which
is $1500.00.

One of the prerequisites for receiving the grant is
that there has already been one season. However
an exception was made for our organization, due

~ to our extreme isolation.

The money has to be used to subsidize the art-
ists fees for the upcoming season. In our Society
the money raised by selling subscriptions pays
‘these fees. Since the theatre has a limited seat-
capacity, raising sufficient ‘funds would

_ “have posed a problem. ‘The additional $1500.00

MINING EXPLORATION IN THE CASSIAR AREA

Ngeah

Mining exploration in the Cassiar area has increas-

ed drastically in‘1979 over recent years. This is in

- part due to an increase in mining throughout the

whole province; but can also, be linked to a re-
newed interest in gold, The increase in prices for
gold, silver, tungsten, tin and molybdenum espec-.
ially; as well as copper, lead and zinc, has spurred
this interest.

Some major exploration ventures are:
_UNION CARBIDE

Recently completed a diamond drill program on

- their Lamb Mountain tungsten property 5. miles

north of Cassiar. This property has also been in-
vestigated for molybdenum.

CANADIAN SUPERIOR

Are presently diamond drilling and eo ducting
geological mapping on their lead-zinc-silver prop-
erty on Reed Mountain.

SHELL CANADA RESOURCES

Are presently doing geological mapping and pros-

pecting on their claims south of Cassiar, which

have been optioned from Bill Storie. They hold.
quite an extensive area and are looking for tin,
lead, sinc, copper and molybdenum..

ESSO MINERALS -

Are exploring near the Erickson Creek Gold Mine
for possible further gold veins, in conjunction +

with Nu-Energy Development. : ae

TABLE MOUNTAIN MINES

Are conducting underground work on their gold
property on Table Mountain above Erickson
Creek. They hope to establish enough tonnage to
start: production on a scale similar to Erickson
Creek Gold Mime.

PLAZA RESOURCES.INC. AND
CUSAC INDUSTRIES LTD’

Are working on their joint group of claims to the
south-east of Erickson Creek. They are following
strong. quartz veins similar to those at Erickson
and Table Mountain and hopefully carrying Se

ar gold.

UNITED HEARNE RESOURCES

Creek and plans to de-ice the adit and do some.
underground test work.

CASSIAR ASBESTOS

Has optioned the Cassiar Moly property south
of Cassiar and has conducted minor trenching
and geological mapping. This property adjoins
Shell to the south and is the location of some
spectacular molybdenum samples.

As well as the above specific properties, numerous
companies, large and small, and many private
individuals are exploring the Cassiar area this year.

It echos the interest shown in the mid-sixties, and
we hope it .is the forerunner of future mining
development i in our area.

CASSIAR’S FIRST SAFETY
BINGO WINNER

For several months there has been quite a dis-
play of goods at the entrance to the Dry-—goods —
store. These, we were told, are the prizes for
the’ safety bingo. However many of us are un-
aware of the rules of the safety bingo.

All employees of C.A.C., with the exception of
senior management, are eligible to play. The
employees are given one bingo card each. Every
day numbers are drawn: and the cards marked
as at a regular bingo. Should there he a lost.
time accident anywhere on the property —

then the whole game is cancelled and everyone .
has to start again. The games have been organ--
ised as an incentive for everyone to ‘Think
_ Safety’ at all times.

We are pleased to announce that there has fin-
ally been a winner. Barbara Leckie is the very
first winner since the games began in January.
She chose a digital watch as her prize. The
second line winner was Pierrette Charbonneau
who chose a Black and Decker Workmate as her:
prize.
