Lead -Zinc Silver City Comet
The excerpt mentions the large Sullivan Mine in Kimberley, BC. I assumed it was near the Trail, BC smelter, but I see it was some distance away. Do you know if the Sullivan Mine had its own smelter? Is Trail the only smelter left in western Canada?
Here's a good report on the Sullivan Mine and covers its Mining, milling and smelting.
