iThe View From Ottawa Jim Fulton, M.P. Private Highways in B.C. Transportation is a key is- sue to all of us. Most days we travel by car or truck to work, school, the post office or to visit. Much of our economy is based on the movement of wood, fish, minerals or = manufactured products from one ‘point ta an- other. We pay big bucks for our roads! The movement to privatize parts of the transportation structure has been to date quiet— ly received around B.C. Billions of dollars in fuel tax rolls in to Ottawa and Victoria every year . These taxes are collected on every drop, every litre and every gallon. Until now we have assumed that the money goes back into upgrading roads, construct— ing bridges and yes, even. for Paving for highways. My ears really perked up recently when I heard a federal proposal to put up "toll booths" on our roads. Was Step No. 1 ta turn maintenance over to private contractors and Step No. 2 toa turn over control through toll booths? It seemed possible when I discovered that only SZ of the $4.2 billion in cash collected on fuel at the federal level was re— turned far road constructian last year. It seemed even more pos—- sible when the Socreds put a “tall booth" on a mining road here in the Northwest last year. It became a reality this month when the Premier announced public funding to construct a private gold road down the Iskut Valley. Spend public millions on a priv— ate road? Spend money on Highway 37 from Meziaden ta the Yukon border is little better than a washed-out creek bed? AS one miner put it to me when he learned ten million dal-— lars was to be spent on a private mining road rather than 10 mil- lion on Highway 37: ee there's one kind of mine here in the Northwest that can fly out it's product - it's gold mines. If you're lucky you can fly out the gold once a week in a suit— case." It’s time to stop privatiza- tion of aur highways. It is time ta stop government from handing our taxes aver as welfare ta wealthy corporations. It's time to upgrade Highway 16 and Highway Page 2 Cassiar Courier |CASSIAR MINING CORPORATION Princeton Mining Princeton Mining Corporation C"Princeton") announces that it intends to make a normal course issuer bid for up to 500,000 of its Common shares, representing 2% of the outstanding shares of Princeton. The normal course issuer bid commenced on or after July 5, 1990 and will continue from time to time until Princeton has acquired 500,000 Common sha- res or July 4, 1991, whichever occurs first. The purchases of Common shares under the normal course issuer bid will be made through the facilities of The Toronto Stock Exchange at the prevailing market price from time to time. Princeton (and the pre- decessor company, Cassiar Mining Corporation) has purchased 206,500 Common shares within the last 12 months under a previous Normal Course Issuer Bid which expired on July 3, 1990. The directors of Princeton are of the view that the Common shares are presently undervalued and the repurchase by the way of normal course issuer bid would be in the best interest of Prince— ton’s shareholders. All Common shares purchased by Princeton pursuant ta the normal course issuer bid will be cancelled. Princeton Mining Corp. Press Release July 13, 1990 Princeton Mining Corporation announces that the second phase of the diamond drilling in the area adjacent ta the Similco open pit mine near Princeton, British Columbia continues to add encour- agement. Results from the initial 20 diamond drill holes on the Virgi-— nia Definition Drilling program have’ been received and to date indicate significant potential to increase both grade and tonnage of the deposit. & tabulation of drill re- sults with a map is attached. All holes are vertical, are dril- led in 100 foot centers and aver- age close to 700 feet deep. Drillheles VB-30-1, VA-30-Z, VB-90-2 and VA-90-8 intersected Significant grades over substan— tial lengths, thus opening the eastern end of the deposit both near surface and at depth. VB-90-10 encountered near— surface mineralization from 107 to 325 feet (228 feet) grading 0.44% Cu and an additional inter— section from 400 to 706 feet (306 feet) grading O.59% Cu.

These intersections will increase potential reserves in the north-— east corner of the deposit which remains open. Average precious metal cont— yibutions converted to copper equivalent add approximately 25% to the copper grades. Interpretation of results indicates a possible increase in Grade and tonnage over previous calculations especially at depth and along the east and northeast ends. Drilling is continuing to— wards the open western end and in the zone connecting the Virginia and Alabama deposits. Two thirds of the $1.5 million drilling pro- ject has now been completed.
