By BRUCE RAMSEY

A gentleman, who calls himself a friend end of ine, told
me last week where to find a whole passle of silver bars
and | believed him, If | had shown the same skepticism as
I have about another friend who claims to have shot 13
ducks with one shot | would have been a lot smarter.

The silver, as | found out up In Slocan City, Iles at the
bottom of Slocen Lake and as | am not addicted to water!
| lost Interest In the idea of becoming suddenly a wealthy
man.

According to the story, 800 bars of silver were lost in
1903 when a freight car plunged into the lake. Of these
675 were recovered so that leaves 125 down in the murky
water of Slocan Lake, and at the present price of silver
that’s not to be sneezed at.

As if to entice me further, this friend. also pointed to
the spot, further up the lake, Where in 1946 an engine, a
snow plow, three steel bodied cars, a wooden way car and
a caboose went into the drink,

Now there was something really worth considering.
There are some people who wax eloquent over lost mines
and buried treasure, but the elite of this group are those
who lick their chops over buried and lost steam locomotives,
I stand to be counted. \

Once upon a time, the prosecutor from Burnaby was &
guest in-my house and he told me of how he was going
to “get” industries along the banks of tiny Still Creek who,
he sald, were polluting not only Still Creek, but Burnaby
Lake into which it flows. ;

| said “nonsense”, and he was slightly taken aback.

Futher back in time, | told him, a strange thing hap-
pened [ust near Willington Ave. and the Lougheed Highway.

When the Great Northern Railway's Vancouver,, West.
minster and Yukon line was being built there was an ac
cident. (The VW&Y, despite its expansionist name, never
got any closer to the Yukon than the corner of Columbia
and Pender in what is now Vancouver's Chinatown, At that
time, Pender was called Dupont St. and it had a reputation
not talked about in family journals.)

A train work crew one day pulled up at the cook
house for lunch, leaving their loccie, coal tender, and sev-
eral oil cars standing unattended. After lunch the crew re-
turned to see nothing but bubbles coming up from where
their dearly-beloved train had once stood. Alas, the area
was a soft peat bog.

The engineer aboard was William Lyman, who many
years later told me the story with a chuckle. Wires and cor-
respondence by the ton past between New Westminster
and St. Paul, Minn., the headquarters of the GN, and after
the initial fury had passed, the incident was forgotten.

Then in 1915 there was an oil rush to the bog at
Willington and Lougheed. A feverish staking of “rich oil
lands" began, and several would be Rockefellers displayed
fars of rich oil they had scooped up from surface pools.

The drill rigs which came in could find no oil bearing
structure but by golly, there was oil all over the place.

ed on’ Wednesday of pep

pal fathers of Burnaby turned their attention to the
nasty companies who were dumping their oil into Still Creek.

As Still Creek drains this bog, it was evident to me that
oll was still seeping up from the vanished wey train, The
prosecutor looked at me aghast.

Now there is a moral somewhere in that story, and if
you think long enough about this tale ‘you'll find it. In
case you can’t it is this: Historians ARE a benefit to society.
The industries atong Still Creek and Burnaby Lake love me
for getting them off the hook.
