Depa rtment The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada A northward view up Granby River Valley from Thimble Mountain. The ridge in the foreground and across the Valley is underlain by the Middle Triassic Sharpstone Conglomerate and Brooklyn Limestone sequence. iii ABSTRACT The Grand. Forks-Eholt map area is underlain predominantly by a sequence of moderately deformed and slightly metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks, previously termed the "Anarchist Group" and ranging in age from Permian/or Earlier to Middle Jurassic. These rocks are divisible into two distinct sequences: (a) cherts (Knob Hill), quartzites, phyllites, and greenstones of Permian/or Earlier age. The term Anarchist Group is now restricted to this lower sequence which resembles the Cache Creek Assemblage (Penn.-Lower Triassic) widespread throughout southcentral B.C.; (b) Sharp- stone Conglomerate/Brooklyn Limestone sequence (Middle-Upper Triassic), and overlying Pragmental Andesites (Middle Jurassic) which correlates with the Takla-Hazelton Assemblage (Middle Triassic - Middle Jurassic) in north central B.C.

  • Across Canada : Annotated Guide Via Canadian Pacific, the World's Greatest Transportation System
    mw wmtm m «* ^ 0«.mcf The EDITH and LORNE PIERCE COLLECTION of CANADIANA Queen's University at Kingston Save the Forests! Canada's timber reserves are national assets of incalculable value. To neglect to take ordinary precautions which ensure them against destruction from forest fires is to rob civilization. Quite apart from the danger to the lives, homes and property of settlers, every acre of forest burned means labor turned away, reduced markets for manufactured products, heavier taxation on other property, and higher lumber prices. Passengers on trains should not throw lighted cigar or cigarette ends from car windows. Those who go into the woods—hunters, fishermen, campers and canoeists—should consider it their duty to exercise every care to prevent loss from fire.

This Edition Revised to May, 1922. Canadian Pacific Railway MONTREAL ACROSS CANADA BY CANADIAN PACIFIC THE Canadian Pacific Railway is the world's greatest transportation system. With a total length, including lines owned and controlled, of over 19,600 miles, it serves all the important industrial, commercial and agricultural sections of Canada, as well as many parts of the United States. Practically every large city of Canada is on its system. It reaches famous historic spots, wonderful holiday-making and sporting resorts, and some of the most magnificent scenery in the world. Its steamship services reach out across the Atlantic to Europe, and across the Pacific to the Orient.
