Hi, This page I just scanned has a picture of Mrs Hanson and her son Christopher at Sheep Creek. The Hanson's ran the camp laundry and the bathhouse. I've seen their laundry equipment at the museum at Salmo. Another has my grandfather standing in the doorway of their cabin at Sheep Creek. The other 3 has 2 young women who must have been friends of Catherine Purcell, my grandmother. I have no idea who they were however. If you'd like to see the scans, I'm happy to share them. Jim Bundy

Greetings- there is a wonderful book on Camp Vernon- "Camp Vernon- a Century of Canadian Military History- by Hugh Rayment and Patrick Sherlock... also a forward by Pierre Berton. this book is probably the best of the best on the history of Camp Vernon.. The history takes you right from the beginning, stories and loads of pictures etc. Happy reading Mary

Hi, I've scanned another page in an album of ours. This page has 2 photos taken at Bowen Island, with boats. Another one was taken at Stanley Park, with a stone lined pond and an island in the middle, with swans. I remember that place. There's also an old photo of Kootenay Lake. If you'd like to see any, just ask. Jim Bundy

My grandfather was also in Camp Vernon that year (and we have photos). Do you have any idea of dates in 1916? My Jack signed up in Vancouver 23 March 1916 - and he left Canada 14 August 1916. There is a photo of the ship leaving Victoria too. It would be interesting to compare dates - and if it seems they were there the same time - to share photos?

Hi, I've scanned this set a while back this year. While my Bundys were moving all over the place, Mom's family, the Ramsays, were firmly entrenched at Capilano North Van, where the family home still stands.

Hi again Lawrence and list, As a result of my previous posting I have been having an "off-list" conversation with a very nice and knowledgeable lady , Claudia Cole, who is an Archival Research Agent working in BC. She has corrected my assumption about New Westminster and tells me that "The Cassiar" was indeed in the New Westminster administration district at that time - despite the enormous geographical separation. Claudia was far too polite to correct me in public herself, but I felt that I should straighten out the record, particularly as it does help to confirm your (Lawrence's) data. I didn't mention it before but we do have in our catalogue a book, Year Book of British Columbia - 1903, catalogue #CA0166, which contains a lot of general and statistical information on Cassiar and even some mentions of "Lightning Creek" although I'm not at all sure that there was only one of these so you might need more information to track that particular reference. On the PS to your later posting; "PS would Peter OLLIER have come overland or via sea to the west coast at that time?" As "steamers" (steam ships) were in service in the last quarter of the 1800's it was possible to travel to the west coast by sea but it was a long - not to say dangerous - journey. On the other hand there were plenty (relatively) of ships crossing the Atlantic and travel from coast to coast was a possibility. Before the "National Trans-continental Railway" was completed cross continental rail transport was mostly on the US side of the border. There were also available overland "road" routes through both the US and Canada so while you might find out which routes were more popular I think you would need more information to know which route your ancestor actually chose.

Hi, Just scanned another page in 1 of my albums of old photos. This set has the Motherlode Mine, Sandwick W(est?) Courtenay log wagon with horses, Brookmere BC with cabins and tents, Waldo BC Jordan's Camp 1916 in winter, and another shot of the horse drawn sleigh in front of massive icicles, maybe hanging from a rail bridge(?) at Sheep Creek. Also one with my grandmother with an unknown friend and a young girl, maybe friend's daughter. My grandparents only had 1 child, my Dad, in 1921, when Catherine was 31 and Granddad 33. They'd been married 9 years by then. I'll be happy to share them with anyone. Jim Bundy

Hi, I just scanned another page from an album. This one has several photos of that cabin at Burquitlam, so I wonder if mine lived there for a time. Then there's one of a boarding house located at 896 Howe Street Vancouver in 1916, a man on a cart with horse somewhere in BC, and one of my grandmother at a house/cabin at Bowen Island, also in 1916. In those times, mine liked to move around a lot. I'd be happy to share any with you. Jim Bundy

Hi to Sue, Claudia, Tara, Heather & Malcom. I am responding to you all in this reply if thats OK. First thanks for your responses to my enquiry I was expecting a warm Canadian welcome and was not disapointed, thanks. I live in Cornwall, England but do have fond memories of Canada...when I was a young lad in the 1970's I left Tilbury, UK. on a Polish (Poland) ship heading for Montreal, I was off Gold Mining in the Porcupine Lake (Timmins) area of Ontario..I / we traveled all over Canada and ended up living in Vancouver (Kitsalano) for a couple of years, little did I realise then that I had an ancestor that trod the trail before me! I am 99% certain that the Peter OLLIER in the 1881 Canadian Census is him. His age fits within a couple of years on the Census Record..he is listed as a miner & I have early UK census records of him working in the Quarries in Northen England then he disapears from the UK altogether ie: no marriage record, no more census records and no death record so I think it's him alright. His last sighting was in the UK 1861 census. Now here is the bit that confuses me: The Peter OLLIER that died in Nanaimo V.I. is certainly of the right age...however in the BC voters list of 1875 there are two seperate listings for a Peter OLLIER...the first is for Peter OLLIER of Lightning Creek a Free Miner, the district code is CL which I am almost sure stands for Cariboo / Lightning Creek (as in Barkerville, Wells, Stanley etc) The other listing in the same register for that same year is: Peter OLLIER of Cavan St. Nanaimo, labourer, householder. I am wondering if these two are one of the same ie: worked the Gold Fields and had a house in Nanaimo with the proceeds. Peter OLLIER is also on the Nanaino petion of 1878 also. Have searched the Canadian 1881 Census for a "Nanaimo" Peter OLLIER...nothing has been found. Any comments are welcome. Thanks for reading all of this. BTW Edwin Charles OLLIER death Vancouver...yes he is one of ours he was born in Crewe, Cheshire, England in 1896 have found him crossing the border at Detroit in the 1940's. Best regards to you all. PS would Peter OLLIER have come overland or via sea to the west coast at that time?

Joanne, Lawrence, and List: I would not be surprised at anyone getting a start in the gold fields, but then settling on the southern coast, or on Vancouver Island. I mentioned earlier the RATH brothers who mined in Cassiar. William Rath took land north of Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island, and settled there to farm. A large part of that farm is now known as Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park. Ideal climate is available on Vancouver Island and vicinity...why live anywhere else?? (well, there is the rain to consider, but think about the snow in the north and interior of the province!) Another such case was the man who in 1895 built the house in Victoria, where fifty years later I was to live and grow up. Charles Printer was a placer miner for some months of the year, according to the 1901 census, and farmed his property during the other months. When I worked in the Nanaimo Museum, I was told by old timers, that a certain large and luxurious home there was built by a man who made his fortune in gold mining, far from Nanaimo. Gold Commissioner records are at BC Archives...that's where you'll find the records of miners being licenced, and claims, if it's gold mining. I searched at http://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-5A31F8D/advsearch/TextualRec ords on the exact phrase gold commissioner and came up with 36 results...mostly government records, from different areas of the province. Some of the titles don't give much clue as to where or when the records were created, but if you click on each one, you come up with more description, and sometimes detailed finding aids.

Hi Lawrence, and welcome to the BC list, A little help I think. We have already released a reproduction on CD of Lovell's 1874 Gazetteer of British North America, our cat. # CA0104, but it has no reference to any of the place names you mentioned (except New Westminster of course but I'll get back to that.) We also have a copy of the 1895 edition waiting to be scanned and had more luck in that edition in that there is an uncharacteristically long entry for Cassiar which looks like a good possibility for you. Because of the length of the entry I'm only going to try and pick out the relevant bits for you: NB: These are literal quotes so the stilted language comes directly from the book. I left it like that because it leaves some room for ambiguity and you should be aware of this. "......" indicates text left out.) "Cassiar is a mineral country, producing gold placer mining. It was discovered in 1873 by McCullough & Thibert ......" (Hence no entry in the 1874 gazeetter.) "Cassiar is reached by steamer from Fort Wrangel, Alaska Territory, 700 miles (time 4 days), thence by river steamer to Glenora, 140 miles, on Stickeen river (time 2 days). A fine government trail commences here and brings the traveler to head of Dease Lake, a distance of 84 miles; thence 18 miles by steamer to Laketown - principal town in district ........ *80 miles down Dease River is Sylvester's Landing, at the mouth of the McDames Creek; 12 miles, on good trail, the trail is reached, and the mines are working. Defot Creek, 12 miles from Thibert, is also a gold-bearing creek. There are also a number of small creeks in the area paying wages and over, but the former are generally considered the principal ones." I didn't go looking for the relevant detailed maps but I would expect there to be enough here to locate the area using modern recourses. The entry goes on to further describe access routes for goods and mail, which was said to be forwarded from Victoria "in earlier years" which makes me wonder if the "New Westminster" reference might be a mail route since it is clearly no where near "Cassiar." No mention of Lightning Creek anywhere (in either gazetteer) but consider the ".... There are also a number of small creeks in the area ..." part of the quote above. Again uncharacteristically, the entry goes on to describe the hunting and growing prospects of the area and it looks to have been a good area to set up "wilderness" housekeeping. It does also say, however, that the winters were long and hard, the area being above 59 degN. The temperature dropped to 72 deg (F presumably) below during the 1879-80 winter. (It's about -58 degC.) These gazetteers can be absolute gold mines (pardon the pun) of information - as evidenced by the extract above - but we receive very little encouragement to publish the reproductions which is why this one is still still sitting on the "waiting to be scanned" shelf. I wonder if it's because people don't realize what they contain which is partly why I'm glad to be able to help you out with the above information. Incidentally, if this is your man I suspect you will have difficulty getting a more specific location for him as there is an implication in the entry that the area was in decline because the gold was running out and these mining camps tended to be transient affairs with little or no "government." Good luck though - a throughly fascinating area of research into Canadian development. Malcolm Archive CD Books Canada Inc. President: Malcolm Moody PO Box 11 Manotick Ontario, K4M 1A2 Canada.

Hi Lawrence, My only knowledge of Lightning Creek is via my Dad, who spent time at Wingdam while his parents cooked for the miners. The mine at Wingdam was dug under Lightning Creek, which worked well till the day the creek came crashing down into the mine. Dad says the miners in there at the time came running out to safety, but that ended the mining there at that time.

RE: OLLIER in Cassiar If your man was a miner, there could be something on him in the BC Archives records of that mining district. I did some work on the Rath brothers in Cassiar district, 1873-4 and found their miner's licences. Other information about the miners in that district at that date was found in the Colonist newspaper of Victoria, when William Rath came as the representative of the miners to fight for their rights with bureaucracy over registration problems caused by their extreme distance from the capital. There was often news of the mining districts published in the city papers, and this sort of information could give you a good idea of what was going on, month to month, so that you'd have a pretty good idea of what your ancestor was doing there, even if there was never a mention of his name. The BC government's Sessional Papers could contain more detailed information about mining activity in the report of the Ministry of Mines. (also held at BC Archives) Maps of all the mining districts probably exist too, with the contemporary names for creeks, so you could figure out exactly where he was. If there was some other industry starting up at the time in Cassiar, such as farming or forestry, records should be found in BC Archives. You might also find some court records, and government agent records, but you won't find local newspapers! I couldn't even get regular newspaper coverage for that area for the 1980s! Fortunately, the Colonist (Victoria) and Columbian (New Westminster), both held at BC Archives, would cover news from Cassiar. Photographs of Cassiar area in general would be found in the BC Archives collection. Unfortunately, there are two other Lightning Creeks in the province, one in Cariboo and one on the southern border of B.C. The Cariboo Lightning Creek near Barkerville was also the name of the town situated there, with gold mining, and you'll find there are plenty of photos of that one but perhaps nothing of the Lightning Creek in Cassiar. For Lightning Creek in Cassiar, the best bet is probably to try for old mining maps, and see what the later name for the creek was.
