HIKERS and other outdoorsmen who have been down the Kildala dike road lately may have seen the drilling rig pictured above. The Sentinel spotted it and began to ask questions. The answers led not to oil or gold but to Eurocan Pulp & Paper Co. Ltd. A spokesman in Vancouver disclosed that although engineering and economic studies had been completed on the proposed Emsley Cove site down the channel the economic feasibility of other possible sites were also being throughly investigated. Eurocan personnel, together with the Vancouver firm of Ribley, Klohn and Leonoss Ltd., have been doing seismic and other tests on the site where the rig is shown, above, between Kildala neighborhood and Minette Bay,
