Good mining results An Australian mining com pany in which Cominco Ltd. has a major interest has te- ported favorable drilling re- sults from a mineral deposit in Tasmania.

The Okanagan Wine Cellar, which opened in down- town Vittoria. at the Beginning of August, also claims another first — cheques and credit cards are accepted. “It's the first store of ite kind in Canada,” says manager Bob Dougan, who runs the shop for the five estate wineries that haye banded together in the Okan- agan Estate Wineries Association. “Quebec and Ontario have stores run by individual commercial wineries which sell only their products,” he said. “None offer samples.” Most of the 44 types of wine found in the store, which is open six days a week, are new to those sampling them. Government liquor stores carry only a handful of estate wines. The five estate wineries — Claremont, Divino, Graymonk, Cellars, Sumac Ridge and Uniacke — are small family-owned operations, Dougans said “We are no threat to the commercial wineries,” he said. Each estate winery is allowed to produce a maximum 136,000 litres of wine a year. The total between the five is a maximum 711,000 litres, “hardly a drop in the bucket” compared to the large commercial operations. Only one estate winery has come close to producing the maximum, said Dougans. About 70 per cent of the wine is white, the rest red. “Estate wine is small in quantity but high in quality,” he said, noting the only other way to sample estate wines is to drive to the source in the Okanagan. Large commercial wineries have every reason to support the wine stores, Dougans said, because — unlike Europeans and Californians who “accept our wines without problem” — British Columbians are the indus- try’s “biggest crities.” ‘Sny major new Hydro electrical 1990s. The ministry forecast said the need for new hydro facilities has been pushed back to 1997 front earlier fore. ‘casts of between 1990 and 1994 because of continuing slow demand for energy in the industrial sector. ‘The forecast also said electricity prices will rise toan average of two per cent a year until 1990-91 and one per cent until the end of the century. Residential gas prices are-expected to increase an average 3.5 per cent a year for the rest of the decade From 1991 to 2000, the ‘average annual increase is forecast at 0.8 per cent and natural gas will continue to be about one-third cheaper than light fuel oil. The forecast also assumes construction of the Vancouver Island natural gas pipeline and predicts that by the year 2000, consumers on the island will be using 14 per cent of all natural gas sold in British Columbia Total provincial energy requirements will grow an average of 1.7 per cent a year until the end of the century, the report says. “By comparison, the gross provincial product will rise by an average of 3.5 per cent a year during the rest of this decade and 8.7 per cent during the 1990s.” USE LESS ENERGY Energy Minister Stephen Rogers said this means “a cumulative increase in the GPP of 80 per cent by the year 2000 and we will achieve that improvement by using only 82 per cent more energy.” Another factor in the energy picture will be a significant switch from gasoline and diesel to alternative automotive fuels, the forecast says. “By the end of the century, compressed natura! gas and propane will supply five per cent of all transportation fuel in the province.” Renewable forms of energy such as solar, wind and wood will also make some advances, the report predicts. “By the year 2000, they will supply 2.5 per cent of British ial energy req or 0.04 per at of our total energy needs.” ‘The pulp and paper industry will increase its reliance on wood waste as an energy source, the report says.

Geologists aboard Pandora Tl, a federal Fisheries and Oceans Department research ship, discovered the rich de. posits on the Explorer Ridge, about 200 kilometres west of northern Vancouver Is land, on the third research mission to the ridge. Stephen Scott, a Univer sity of Toronto geologist and chief scientist on the re search cruise, said the bril liant red-anid-orange deposits contain an estimated 1.5 mil lion tonnes of copper and zine-rich sulphide ore. But Seott said in a tele phone interview from Sid ney, Tuesday that thé ore deposits are covered by water ranging in depth from 1,800 to 1,960 metres and “are perehed on cliffs as much as 80 metres high.” “It is ineredibly rough ter rain,” he-said. Scientists using the three man submarine Pisces IV found the sulphide deposits created by vents of hot water percolating up from voleanic chambers under a fault line more than 150 metres across and at least seven metres thick. “This is by far the largest deposit ever seen on any ridge and it is definitely in Canadian waters,” he said.

And there's more to be found, said Scott. “It we had more dives, we would have found 17 more deposits,” he predicted But the research vessel was forced to return to port three days early because of bad weather and trouble with the diving equipment. The Explorer Ridge itself was discovered in February and so far the research mis- sions have covered only about 10 per cent of its area. education, he said. Skelly said such a program could not be implemented overnight, but said an NDP government would work to- wards such a goal. On another subject, Skelly called on Expo to disclose the minutes of directors meet- ings. He said, he is not convinced the meetings and the minutes should be pri. vate. But he said he is convinced the Expo board did not want to table the minutes wiht hte labor relations board because they would be embarrassed by the contents. The contents of the minutes would prob- ably indieate the Expo board is antilabor — that they want to employ all non-union labor on the site, he said. Skelly also said he met with Colin Kelly of the In- dependent Canadian Transit Union, adding that the bus shutdown in V: and B08 . equal access Victoria could have been avoided. Skelly said Kelly indicated before the summer that his members would be willing to go back to work solely on the of the an industrial missioner.

CONSIGNMENT SHOP vn ms. bam _ Diane Boyce, one of Kristiansen'’s workers, admits the Tories seem to be gathering strength. “People are saying, ‘Let's go with a winner.” In a swing through B.C. last week, Tory leader Brian Mulroney went gunning for votes in the Kootenays and on Vancouver Island, where New Democrat Jim Manly is facing a strong challenge from former Tory MP Don Taylor in Cowichan-Malahat-The Islands. LINK WITH SOCREDS The New Democrats, and particularly leader Ed Broad- bent on his trips through the province, have tried to link Mulroney with Social Credit Premier Bill Bennett. Broad- bent Mulroney's that the minded Bennett is headed in the right direction and then reels off a list of service-cutting legislation enacted by the Soereds, saying that's what Canadians can expect from a Mulroney government. Johnson, while acknowledging that wavering voters may get caught up in the Tory bandwagon, says “there's also an NDP bandwagon happening.” He says the New Democrats aimed at seven Tory ridings they feel they can take — “ridings where we feel the Conservative candidate is weak.” The NDP also benefits from the strong trade union movement in B.C., which has traditionally supported the party. Union members aren't told how to vote, but the undecided, identified in telephone calls by union volunteers, are quickly sent an information package. Among other things, it contains a covering letter from the B.C. Federation of Labor that notes the “significant social legislation” passed when the NDP held the balance of power in the House of Commons. ‘There is no question the NDP is fighting the Tories and not the Liberals. Canvassers claim the electorate's desire for change is paramount, and the constituency battles will be won by the party that hands on to its existing support and draws the most disenchanted Liberals.
