Fisheries Prince Rupert, B.C. There is a great future for the Cod and Herring fishing business, which up to the present time has scarcely been touched, most of the fishermen confining their operations to the Halibut and Salmon. At Seal Cove, on the extreme east of Prince Rupert townsite, is located the plant of the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Co., Ltd. This is the largest cold storage plant in the world used exclusively for fish, and is of great interest to the tourist, who is shown every courtesy by the manage- ment. To emphasize the importance of Prince Rupert as the natural port for the marketing of fish, it is interesting to note that a special ship has been placed on the Alaska-Prince Rupert run to ship the Alaskan catches through the port of Prince Rupert. cNCining HE three chief metals produced in the North-western District of the Province of British Columbia, of which Prince Rupert is the centre and distributing point, are gold, silver, and copper. Previous to 1914 the metal production in this area was negligible, but in that year the Granby Consolidated “blew in” its smelter at Anyox, B.C. thereby establishing the mining industry in this part of the provinee. Since that time there has been a steady develop- ment and expansion, until at present it is the greatest pro- ducing district. During the ten years, up to the end of 1923, the District had produced $76,000,000 in the three mentioned metals, segregated into approximately: 600,000 ozs. of gold, 10,500,000 ozs. of silver, and 267,000,000 Ibs. of copper. In this ten years of operating Granby alone produced about 257,000,000 Ibs. of copper. The past two years, 1922-23, have seen a remarkable inerease in the production of gold and silver, amounting in that time to 325,000 ozs. of gold, and 8,000,000 ozs. of silver, the copper output for the same period being 65,000,000 Ibs. In 1923, the District produced 87% of the gold, 53% of the silver, and 58% of the copper outputs of the province, or 64% of the total of the three metals. [PAGE EIGHT]
