McConnell Creek, Cassiar district, British Columbia ............. In pocket Plate I. View looking southeasterly from the northwest end of Connell y . Range. Frontispiece v PREFACE McConnell Creek map-area lies in a mountainous, relatively inaccess­ ible region near the centre of the northern half of British Columbia. Little was known about it until 1907-08 when placer gold was discovered on McConnell Creek. This activity, and that of a later rush of placer miners in 1932, quickly waned, without disclosing commercial mineral deposits or material geological information. Subsequent investigations by the Geolog­ ical Survey in areas to the south succeeded, however, in drawing attention to the McConnell Creek area as a possible source of lode deposits. Accord­ ingly, field work was commenced there by Dr. Lord in 1941, and, although interrupted by more urgent wartime duties, was completed by him in 1945. The present report is descriptive of the geology, structure, and economic features of the area. Granitic intrusions, both of Mesozoic and Tertiary age, are described, and the presence, in this part of the province, of a large area of Upper Cretaceous and Paleocene strata is noted for the first time. A belt of strong, post-Paleocene faults, in part continuous with the Pinchi fault zone, traverses the area from southeast to northwest, and probably extends far beyond. Many occurrences of gold, silver, copper, coal, and other minerals, found in the course of geological mapping and resultant active prospecting, are described. Although none of these is yet known to be commercially valuable many are of sufficient interest to warrant further search. As an aid to the prospector, Dr. Lord has listed the more favourable host rocks, and has defined the areas within which mineral occurrences are most concentrated. GEORGE HANSON, Chief Geologist, Geological Survey of Canada OTTAWA, March 25, 1948 McConnell Creek Map-Area, Cassiar District, British Columbia CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION GENERAL STATEMENT McConnell Creek map-area lies in the mountainous central part of northern British Columbia between latitudes 56 and 57 degrees, and longitudes 126 and 127 degrees. It includes about 2,600 square miles. Geological mapping was begun by the writer in 1941 and continued by him during 1944 and 1945. No previous geological mapping had been done in the area by the Geological Survey, although Malloch (1914) 1 briefly visited Sustut Valley in 1912 and correlated certain coal-bearing strata found there with his Skeena series of the Groundhog

The Pacific NorthWest LNG Project (the Project) is proposed to be located primarily on federal lands and waters administered by the Prince Rupert Port Authority approximately 15 kilometres south of Prince Rupert, British Columbia. At full production, the facility would receive approximately 3.2 billion standard cubic feet per day, or 9.1 x 107 cubic metres per day, of pipeline grade natural gas, and produce up to 20.5 million tonnes per annum of LNG for over 30 years. The Project would include the construction and operation of a marine terminal for loading LNG on to vessels for export to Pacific Rim markets in Asia.

  • Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
    35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed.

The value of British Columbia mineral production in 1947 was more than $113,000,000, a record which far exceeds the value of production in any preceding year. Many factors contributed toward the record value, but by far the most impor- tant was the high price for most products. The price of gold we.9 lower than for any year since 1937, the price of silver, although high, was somewhat lower than the 1946 price, but the price for copper was the highest for any year since 1918, the price for lead exceeded substantially the price in any preceding year, and the price for zinc was much higher than for any year except 1915 and 1916.

  • THE VIRGINIAN a Horseman of the Plains by OWEN WISTER
    THE VIRGINIAN A Horseman Of The Plains by OWEN WISTER To THEODORE ROOSEVELT Some of these pages you have seen, some you have praised, one stands new-written because you blamed it; and all, my dear critic, beg leave to remind you of their author's changeless admiration. TO THE READER Certain of the newspapers, when this book was first announced, made a mistake most natural upon seeing the sub-title as it then stood, A TALE OF SUNDRY ADVENTURES. "This sounds like a historical novel," said one of them, meaning (I take it) a colonial romance. As it now stands, the title will scarce lead to such interpretation; yet none the less is this book historical--quite as much so as any colonial romance. Indeed, when you look at the root of the matter, it is a colonial romance. For Wyoming between 1874 and 1890 was a colony as wild as was Virginia one hundred years earlier. As wild, with a scantier population, and the same primitive joys and dangers. There were, to be sure, not so many Chippendale settees. We know quite well the common understanding of the term "historical novel." HUGH WYNNE exactly fits it. But SILAS LAPHAM is a novel as perfectly historical as is Hugh Wynne, for it pictures an era and personifies a type. It matters not that in the one we find George Washington and in the other none save imaginary figures; else THE SCARLET LETTER were not historical. Nor does it matter that Dr. Mitchell did not live in the time of which he wrote, while Mr.
