Kwinitsa Station moved to the harbour in Prince Rupert.
Station built in 1911, 100-152 Station Plan.
later referred to as Type "E"

Salt Works existed here at Kwinitsa Creek. 
The water was boiled down,
and Salt for Commercial Purposes was the result.
Mr. D. C. Whiteford discovered the salt brine, 1910-1911.
Have also seen D. C. Whitford as the spelling.
He built a Salt evaporator plant in 1910 here.
British Columbia Salt Works Ltd.,

F. H. Mobley (Moberly?) was involved in the testing
A Frank H. Mobley was in Rupert, Wholesale Merchant in 1911
There was a Daniel George Whiteford on Lower Skeena in 1911
I am thinking this was the guy, but he is shown as a farmer only
and middle initial would be G, not C?
b- Jan 1866 in ON, age 45 in 1911
wife- Ella Stewart Whiteford
