About this title

Synopsis

Beautifully done history of the Dolly Varden silver mines in British Columbia, one of Canada's richest silver mines, and the Dolly Varden Mines Railway that served it. Details the physical and economic struggles that eventually led to its demise: the rugged territory, the pitched battle between between the mine owners and the railway construction company, Taylor Engineering Co., and the ensuing financial embarrassments, and the logging operations that used the railway after the silver mine failed. Packed with black and white photos, detailed information and diagrams of the varied locomotives (including the Climax) and rolling stock, and maps (including end paper maps of the entire region). 183 pages with index.
