As of press time yesterday, the name of the pilot and three passengers aboard the flight have not been released. According to Capt. Tony Jones of CFB Comox, leader of the search effort in Terrace, the aircraft left the Bronson Creek airstrip at 1:50 p.m. Monday and was due to arrive in Terrace at about 3:30 p.m. The last communication with the pilot was about 10 minutes after his departure from Bronson Creek. The pilot was presumably following the Iskut River valley towards the Highway 37 corridor and reported weather conditions in that area at the time were a 3,000 foot ceiling and snow showers. The Bronson Creek airstrip is located about 110 kilometres northwest of Stewart and about 330 Idlometres northwest of Terrace. The airstrip serves a number of mining interests in the area, primarily that of Cominco's SNIP gold properties. Jones says the "preferred" flight path of the aircraft would have been east from Bronson Creek, following the Iskut River valley to llighway 37, south to a point about 20 kilometres north of Cran- berry Junction, southwest to a point near New Aiyansh following the Nass River, and south from Aiyansh to Terrace. lte says a Buffalo aircraft from CFB Comox followed that route Monday 17 night in a preliminary electronic search but was unable to detect any signals from the Navajo's emergency locator transmitter. A source at search headquarters in Victoria adds that a satellite survey of the area also failed to detect a signal from the aircraft's emergency location transmitter. A search for the missing aircraft resumed Tuesday morning with two helicopters from Northern Mountain ltelicopters, two commer- cial aircraft from Transprovinclal and one private aircraft, bow Last Wednesday the Ladies of the Royal Purple held tl~elr tourm annual m, Tasmon snow. =ne cloud and rain in the area yesterday morning made a full scale 50 enthusiastic and graceful models were employees of the Terrace Co-op or family members of ,search difficult, but by noon two armed forces helicopters and the Co-op employees.

We should note here that Weeber didn't exactly use the word "amal- gamation", but that,s the idea that :" has been tossed around for years ' because it just might make more sense economically than incor- porating two separate cities.
