Marcos, years ago I think I had dinner with a guy working on that deposit-lol. I used to help a lot of people with mining stocks and he was tryng to raise money. Not sure if it is the same one. RDV guy emailed me again and said he has more targets to drill than money and time to drill them with. Funny they are spending so much time on the Big Bull. They must have something they like there. CCM. One of these days that guy is going to fly. I will probably miss it as I do not take any rises in that stock seriously it has been so constant for so long. If RDV gets up to CCM I might trade part of it across.

Marcos (and EC, etc.) I have a book for you to read. A few years ago I stumbled across Edward Hoagland's book Notes from the Century Before in a bookstore in Williams Lake where I had stopped off to replenish my store of books, as per usual I had read every book I had brought on this particular camping trip to the Chilcotin and Cariboo before it was half over. Edward Hoagland is usually accorded the title of best American essayist of the 20th Century. If you've read many issues of Harper's or the New Yorker you have likely read his wonderful prose. In the mid-1950s he ended up in northern BC, fell in love with the place, and devoted several summers to travelling all over northern BC and the southern Yukon talking to old-timers, white and aboriginal, prospectors, hunters, trappers, fisherman, and just plain eccentrics. Given the age of his interviewees -- one old woman still headed out into the bush every summer well into her 80s -- this is a view right back into the 19th Century when northern BC was still really a frontier. Hoagland was such a sympathetic listener for their stories and is such a brilliant wordsmith, that some of the images and scenes I read in this book remain vivid to me many years later. I haven't been north of the Skeena, but before too long I intend to explore some of Hoagland's footsteps for myself. In the meantime, I'll have to content myself with re-reading the book. LC
