FWCP Report No. FF14-07. 41 pp. + app. Bull Trout Redd Count Surveys in Select Kootenay Lake Tributaries-2013 Executive Summary The Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) annually funds two major compensation projects on Kootenay Lake: a large scale nutrient restoration project, and operation of the Meadow Creek kokanee spawning channel. One of the primary rationales for these projects is the restoration of the adfluvial bull trout and Gerrard rainbow trout populations, therefore monitoring the status of these apex species is a high priority of the FWCP as reflected in the program’s Large Lake Plan.

Geofile 1997-02 Slocan Mining Camp and Area (082K03, 082F14)
GeoFile 1997-02 Slocan Mining Camp and Area (082K03, 082F14) By: B.N. Church (P.Eng.) and L.D. Jones (P.Geo.), 1997 Originally created as a web article in 1997, this document was re-released, with slight modifications, as a GeoFile in 2019. Abstract The Slocan map area of southeastern British Columbia contains 271 documented mineral occurrences, including 125 in the Slocan City area and 123 in the Slocan Camp area. The area is within the Selkirk Mountains and includes the communities of New Denver, Silverton, and Slocan City on the shores of Slocan Lake (Figure 1). Figure 1: Mineral Occurrences of the Slocan Camp and Area (082K03, 082F14) BC Geological Survey Mining History The Slocan area is one of the oldest mining camps in the province which flourished after the turn of the century and has continued to produce intermittently ever since. The history in the West Kootenays dates back to the 1820s when the Bluebell deposit (082FNE043), near Riondel on Kootenay Lake was discovered. Active exploration began around 1865. In 1883, Thomas Hammil located the Lulu and Spring claims (082FNE148) at Ainsworth. In the late 1880’s, Jim Brennan, a prospector working west of Ainsworth, collected some high grade silver samples which sparked considerable interest in this new and virtually unexplored area. After initial interest at Sandon, prospectors extended their range of exploration to the south and west, discovering several deposits containing appreciable gold on Memphis Creek and locating the Dayton claim (082FNW173) in 1893 near Slocan City. During this period, the sustained mining activity throughout the Slocan area provided the incentive for the Canadian Pacific Railway to extend their line south and east from Nakusp to Kaslo and Cody in 1895, and connect Slocan City with the Nelson line in 1897.

Humphries School in Kaslo on a mild Tuesday evening in late June for a public forum on what is shaping up to be the West Kootenay’s most controversial Independent Power Project. As you may know, Axor Corporation of Quebec propose a 99.5 megawatt project that would periodically divert a good portion of Glacier and Howser Creeks and some of their tributaries through two penstocks, each of nearly 7 km. in length, which would empty into Duncan Lake. The meeting’s format was to have presentations by the proponent and the Environmental Assessment Office, followed by a public question-and-answer session. Instead, the EAO’s Garry Alexander could barely get through his initial presentation in the face of numerous and repeated catcalls from many in the seated throng, which was almost totally hostile to the proposal.

U.S. DEPARTMENT of the INTERIOR U.S.GEOLOGICAL SURVEY ALK.BIB a Selected Bibliography of Alkaline Igneous Rocks and Related Mine
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S.GEOLOGICAL SURVEY ALK.BIB A selected bibliography of alkaline igneous rocks and related mineral deposits, with an emphasis on western North America compiled by Felix E. Mutschler, D. Chad Johnson, and Thomas C. Mooney Open-File Report 94-624 1994 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. INTRODUCTION This bibliography contains 3,406 references on alkaline igneous rocks and related mineral deposits compiled in conjunction with ongoing studies of alkaline igneous rocks, metallogeny, and tectonics in western North America. Much of the literature on these topics is not readily recovered by searches of current bibliographies and computerized reference systems. We hope that by making this bibliography available, it will help other workers to access this occasionally hard to find literature. The bibliography is available in two formats: (1) paper hardcopy and (2) Apple Macintosh computer-readable 3.5 inch double density diskette. The computer-readable version of the bibliography is a 725 KB WORD (version 5.0) document. Individual literature citations are arranged alphabetically by author(s) and the order of items in each citation follows the standard U.S. Geological Survey format.
