- Photographs of the official opening of Kaiser Resources Ltd. strip mining project above the company’s coal processing development in Sparwood, British Columbia. The company had 500 shareholders and Japanese Industrial officials. The company mined more than seven million tons of coal annually. Most of which went to Japan as the annual increment of Kaiser’s billion dollar contract with Japanese steel companies. Production was valued at more than $100 million a year and the success was expected to continue. The ceremony included officials firing flares to signal the 88 car CPR unit train to start moving toward the deep water Roberts Bank super port near Vancouver.
