WALKER, Deputy Minister MINING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA An Outline of the Development of the Industry VICTORIA, B.C. Primed by DON MCDIAHMID, Printer to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty 1954 This pamphlet deals principally with the history of mining activity in British Columbia to the end of the year 1953. The written account is supplemented by a selection of photographs. MINING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA It is a curious fact that, although what is now British Columbia possessed a vast wealth of visible resources, little attention was paid to them in the eighty years following Captain Cook's visit to the west coast of Vancouver Island in 1778. Such interest as was aroused was mainly in furs. It was interest in fur that led John Meares to establish his short-lived post at Nootka, and interest in fur that spurred Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser, and David Thompson to undertake their arduous expeditions into British Colum• bia from the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains. In the period from 1805 to 1849 fifteen posts were established along the routes of the fur brigades, and here and there the Oblate Fathers had planted churches among the tribes. -

Birds of Nakusp, New Denver, And
Wildlife Afield 9(2):115-200, 2012 © Biodiversity Centre for Wildlife Studies Birds of the Nakusp, New Denver, and Burton Region of Southeastern British Columbia, 1975 to 2012 – Part 2: Passerines (Flycatchers through Old World Sparrows) Gary S. Davidson PO Box 294, Nakusp, British Columbia, Canada V0G 1R0 Abstract from the nonpasserine species accounts. Between August 1975 and December 2012, 266 species of birds, including nonpasserines and passerines, were recorded in the Nakusp, New Denver, and Burton regions of southeastern British Columbia. Accounts for 146 species of nonpasserines (55% of the total number of species) were published (Davidson 2011). The following and final component treats the 120 species of passerines. Accounts for regularly occurring species usually include six parts: status, ornithological history, descriptions of non-breeding and breeding habitats, occurrence and migration chronologies (i.e., early arrival, peak movement, and late departure), specific breeding information, and comments. The latter provides clarification for taxonomic decisions, noteworthy regional and provincial distributional information, relevant literature, and a summary of Nakusp Christmas bird counts from 30 consecutive years. The passerine species accounts have been Figure 104. The first half of Birds of the Nakusp, New prepared primarily from my personal database of Denver, and Burton region of Southeastern British over 40,000 individual records.

Columbia Lake Quick Fact Sheet
COLUMBIA LAKE QUICK REFERENCE SHEET JUST A FEW AMAZING THINGS ABOUT OUR AMAZING LAKE! . Maximum length – 13.5 km (8.4 mi) . Maximum width – 2 km (1.2 mi) . Typical depth – 15 ft . Average July water temperature – 18 C – making it the largest warm water lake in East Kootenay . Surface Elevation – 808m (2,650 ft) .Area – 6,815 acres (2,758 hectares) . Freezing – last year, it was observed the lake froze on December 7, 2016 and thawed on March 29, 2017. Columbia Lake is fed by several small tributaries. East side tributaries include Warspite and Lansdown Creeks. West Side tributiaries include Dutch, Hardie, Marion and Sun Creeks. Columbia Lake also gets a considerable amount of water at the south end where water from the Kootenay river enters the lake as groundwater. The water balance of Columbia Lake is still not fully understood. The Columbia Lake Stewardship Society continues to do research in this area. Columbia Lake got its name from the Columbia River. The river was so named by American sea captain Robert Gray who navigated his privately owned ship The Columbia Rediviva through its waters in May 1792 trading fur pelts. Columbia Lake is the source of the mighty Columbia River, the largest river in the Pacific Northwest of North America. The Columbia River flows north from the lake while the neighbouring Kootenay flows south. For approximately 100 km (60 mi) the Columbia River and the Kootenay River run parallel and when they reach Canal Flats, the two rivers are less than 2 km (1.2 mi) apart. Historically the Baillie- Grohman Canal connected the two bodies of water to facilitate the navigation of steamboats (although only three trips were ever made through it). -
