I'm searching for photos of Meadow Lake in your excellent archive. Can you give me a link please?

I am also doing some research on meadow lake, the only good thing that I have found is a book by Paul Fatout, called Meadow Lake Mining District. Do you have any material to pass on?

[Above] is a ... scan of the Houseworth CPRR #1288. You do not appear to have this one, so I am forwarding a scan of the one I recently acquired.
