The '- Kettle River rapids on the Nelson `13 can provide `.a great deal of power n and the speaker stated that when this 8 power is developed the timber and pulpwood onthe banks of the river can be made a wonderful source of wealth. The northern part of the province] 1 is rich in minerals, the pre-Cambri- ' t I an strata that holds the great miner- , al wealth of Ontario crosses Mani- toba and there are gold, copper and silver in large quantities. In 1917 copper was brought out by team and Eibarge and shipped to Golden, B.C., _[to be smelted.
