NEW YORK (AP) — Real
estate mogul Donald Trump
said Tuesday he pulled out of
the stock market completely
over the past four weeks, at a
profit of about $200 million
US, and one reason was
federal government moves to
bolster the American dollar.

In the wake of Monday's
market plunge, Trump dis-
closed that he had sold off his
$500 million worth of hold-
ings in Allegis, Holiday, Bally
and various other companies.

The New Yorker advised
that anyone who was “lucky
enough to escape the catas-
trophe of yesterday should
remain where he is — stay in
cash for a while, see where
the world is going.”

“The advice on a larger
scale is for this country to get
smart and to make its
so-called allies pay for what
they're getting from us,” he
said in a telephone interview.

‘Trump referred to the cost
of defending “some of the
greatest money machines
ever built, such as Japan,
Saudi Arabia.”

He said the Federal Re-
serve was foolish to bolster
the U.S. dollar at a time
when Japan was finally find
ing it harder to compete with

Interest renewed
in gold machine

VANCOUVER (CP) — Six
years ago, Garry Mclsaac
believed British Columbia
gold would make him a mil-
lionaire.

His company was produc-
ing the Flying Dutchman
Model A sluice box that
mechanically vibrates to sep-
arate fine gold from silt, sand
and gravel being carried
through it by water.

The $2,300 machine was
catching on with amateur and
professional prospectors and
the Abbotsford, B.C., in-
ventor was dreaming of the
province's biggest gold rush
since 1858.

But it never happened. The
bottom dropped out. Gold fell
to $220 US an ounce from
$800 US in 1980 and interest
rates shot up.

“Everyone quit buying any
machines,” says Mclsaac,
whose business collapsed,
causing him to lose his house
and farm to creditors. “I was
caught between a rock and a
hard place.”

Today, gold is trading in
the $460 US range, interest
rates have cooled and stabi-
lized and MclIsaac's dreams
are being rekindled.

“You can knock me down
but you can't keep me down,”
says Mclsaac, who has re-
sumed prospecting and is
drawing improved versions

of his gold recovery machine.
“The stuff is out there, you
just have to go out and get
it.”

More people than ever are
going for the gold in this
province.

Brian Parrott, research di-
rector for the Mining As-
sociation of B.C., expects
production to reach 400,000
ounces and be valued at more
than $215 million this year.

That's a one-third increase
over 1986 production of
308,000 ounces valued at $150
million. By 1990, Parrott ex-
pects production to double
last year’s output.

Mines in Ontario and Que-
bec continue to produce most
of Canada’s gold. The de-
posits in B.C. aren't as rich in
gold, meaning more rock
must be blasted, transported,
milled and smelted to pro-
duce it.

Gold production became
more economic in B.C. with
the rising prices and today’s

m began late in 1985.

This year, more than 80
per cent of the $120 million
Parrott expects to be spent
on mineral exploration will
go toward hunting for gold,
the second most precious
metal to platinum.

Last year, $91 million was
spent on mineral exploration
in B.C. compared with $65
million three years ago.

Dr. Max Gorelick, spokes-
man for the Red Cross
Society, said the calls are
from people wondering if
they're related to the Frohn-
mayer family. A lot of check-
ing must be done before they
can be asked to take a blood

bility, he said.

“We may go down many
cul-de-sacs before finding
someone with the identical

we'll follow every lead.”

STUDIES FAMILIES

Gorelick said researchers
are helped by the fact that
there has been a lot of study
on the pioneering families in
the Musquodoboit area.

Frohnmayer's wife, Lynn,
ended Monday's search in an
upbeat mood.

“My first impression is

she said,

“We went to the gas

and we have a hunch we may

A local resident said people

are concerned for the two

“We're hoping we can help,
and it will be interesting to
see if people really are re-

The Frohnmayer family
plan to visit the Colchester
County museum to look for
clues to relatives in the area,
then travel to Pictou to meet
with Johnny Reid, an expert
in family histories.

Board cites ‘risk

By The Canadian Press

Two Sons of Freedom women,
whose conditions continue to worsen
because of a lengthy hunger strike,
were denied parole Friday because “of

And for the second time this week,
‘one of the women was transferred to
hospital after becoming dangerously

said.

Bridge a heritage site?

By SURJ RATTAN
Staff Writer

Although nothing is official yet,
the old Doukhobor bridge may be
designated as a heritage site by the
B.C. Heritage Trust.

The trust provincial body
responsible for allocating funds to
heritage projects in B.C. — held a
meeting in Castlegar Friday and
toured two sites it has already granted
money: the CP Rail station and the
chapel house on Zuckerberg Island
Heritage Park.

And according to Selkirk College
instructor Bill Sloan-one of the 11

directors on the B.C. Heritage Trust-
the old Doukhobor bridge may be
added to the station and Chapel House
group.

“We're logking at the old Douk-
hobor bridge on this trip and I'm trying
to impress the Trust with the value of
it, but there’s no indication at this point
that they would move to purchase it or
obtain it from the Department of High-

Crown corporation that reports to
Tourism Minister Bill Reid. Its job is to
help municipalities and non-profit
societies with heritage restoration.

Little interest

in school race

Interest in the Nov. 21 Castlegar

However, there will be a race for
the three vacant three-year aldermanic

The Heritage Trust has already
granted about $25,000 towards the re-
storation of the chapel house on
Zuckerberg Island and a further
$40,000 towards the CP Rail station.

After touring the CPR station,
Mike Patterson, chairman of the B.C.

the possibilities of the building.”

the looks of it and there's some real

He added that there are about five
or six steps in the restoration of a
project such as the rail station.

“The first one is to galvanize the
community to get moving on it and

“then deal with the railroad and the

municipality and have those pieces
come together, and of course the
building has to be moved onto a new
foundation and the actual exterior
restoration has to be done and then
some kind of interpretation and

He added that the Heritage Trust

Green Party eyes
Kootenay chapter

By CasNews Staff
The B.C. Green Party will hold an
informational meeting in Castlegar this
week with an eye to forming a West
Kogtenay, chapter
. “The Castlegar meeting is a
chance for committed Greens, as well
as would-be members to get together,”
said Jim Terrel of Rossland, one of the
local

organizers.
Terre! said the meeting will help
the party gauge the level of community
in an alternative political

y-

“I think there's some justifiable
frustration, both with the government
ahd the NDP,” Terrel told the Castle-
gar News in an interview.

“I feel abandoned by the Liberals
and the Conservatives. I'm looking for
alternatives.”

Terre! said he wouldn't be sur-
prised if other West Kootenay resi-
dents feel the same way, but he
couldn't say how many there might be.

“That's part of what the meeting is
about,” he explained.
Terrel said the formation of a local
chapter will depend on how much
interest is shown.

A dinner meeting is set for 6 p.m.
Friday at the Monte Carlo Motor Inn,
followed by a public informational
session at 8 p.m. on Green Party issues
in the West Kootenay.

people in this area about what they

work on issues in the upcoming Nov. 21
