U.S., Canada Firms
Vie for Big Hydro
Potential in B.C.
VICTORIA, B.C., OP)—Premier
Bennet held talks Friday with one
of two rivals for the million dollar
hydro-electric potential of north
ern British Columbia and the
southern Yukon.
Officials of the Aluminum Com
pany of America, which proposes
to use B.C. and Yukon waters to
power a project in Alaska, said
they provided the premier with
some requested information.
Meanwhile, it is reported here
that Frobishers Ltd., Alcoa’s Can
adian rival which plans a giant
metallurgical project in northern
B.C., is rushing survey parties
into the area.
Frobisher has two already in
the field and another one is re
portedly ready to move.
Alcoa has received a definite
rejection from Ottawa to a plan
to run B.C.-stored water through
a point near Skagway, Alaska,
where it proposes an aluminum
project.
Premier Bennet held hush-hush
talks with officials of the two
enterprises here earlier this year.
No details of the meeting were re
leased but the premier said he
was holding preliminary talks.
One Alcoa official said he could
see no reason why both develop
ments could not be undertaken
but denied reports a compromise
offer by his firm whereby it
would locate its development in
Canada.
The plan rejected by the Cana
dian government last year called
for a $300,000,000 project by Al
coa which would see the Yukon
River diverted above Whitehorse
into Yaiva Inlet and 'thence to
near Skagway. It would develop
about 2,000,000 horsepower. Fro
bisher’s scheme would ultimately
cost $700,000,000.
