Photograph of the Granduc Mine, 32 miles from Stewart, was viewed last Friday by Joe Banyay of Kitimat and the other directors of Skeena "B" Regional District. Construction, which involves an 11 and a half mile tunnel though solid rock to the main ore body, has been practically halted since February over a labour dispute. The towns population is now fast slipping from it's winter high of 750 as workmen move away.
