Once Famous Resort Already famous as a scenic re- sort, located as it is on -90-mile Lake Atlin acrcss from Llewellwynl ing and big game hunting, Atlin . has diminished from a town ofj{ over 4,000 to a settlement of less thamr a tenth that size. High cost of freighting supplies to mines and the high cost of operating: tourist accommodations is a princi-1 pal factor involved in the town's, diminished activities. First advantage to Atlin of the highway would be the lowered freight costs. Formerly a center of extensive mining, only mines in the area i{now operating are individual hy- { draulic ‘properties: the Piccolo Brothers' mine on McKee Creek; ! O'Donnell Creek, where Nathan Murphy and his son Melvin Beck- man operate; on Spruce and Boul- der Creeks. These are individualj properties; “diggings,” they are: called. | The Kootenay Hotel, operated by | Mr. and Mrs. William Roxborough, than whom there are no fjner hosts, is the surviving inn at Atlin where formerly were operated the large White Pass Inn, the Royal Hotel and the Kootenay.
