"Doll-Sized Baby 'Doing Fine' In Incubator:
KITIMAT'S TINIEST BABY is doing well in 85 degree temperature of Kitimat Hospital's incubator. Born a week ago Monday, the three-pound five ounce infant is the first child of Mr. and Mrs. John Deans, Anderson Creek. She's been named Dallas - "after the best city in the biggest state in the US because sehs' the tiniest baby in town," said her mother. Neither hospital authorities nor parents have any idea how long the infant will be in the incubator. "It depends on how fast she reaches five pounds," her mother said."

Barney Mulvaney's dog team with mail from Kitimat nearing Hazelton 1910 see too :Kitselas white settlement.
The fabulous Barney Mulvany renowned throughout the north country, now living in retirement at Burns Lake, began his experiences on the Skeena when he carried Her Majesty's mail by dog team and on his back from Kitamat to Hazelton. His was a roving character and in his own words "my first ambition was to start at the mouth of every river in B.C. and go to the head of it to see what was on the other side of the summit". This he claims to have accomplished, but the Skeena was his first love and his wanderings always brought him back to its banks. Like years have been occupied with recording his experiences in prose and verse. His ballad of "Kitselas" recounts a legend of the Skeena doubtless gleaned as he camped with his Indigenous friends along the trail from Kitselas to Hazelton.

From the years 1953-1958, Mike Kinnear took photos during his school years, until graduation, while working for Fred Ryan Ltd. after school and holidays. Photos for him was a hobby, and he took many photos of the smelter and townsite as it grew around him. Mike also took a number of photos for the Kitimat Northern Sentinel, during the Ken Brumley and Pixie Meldrum years as editors. Mike and his family left Kitimat in 1958, but he spent the best part of 40 years in the photographic field, mainly in the retail/wholesale part of the photo industry.
