Jedway
Jedway is a landing and erstwhile settlement and mining camp on Harriet Harbour, part of Skincuttle Inlet, on the east coast of Moresby Island in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, Canada.〔(BC Names/GeoBC entry "Jedway (landing)" )〕 Jedway was once a hub for mines in the area during a mining boom on South Moresby, including mines at Ikeda and Lockeport,〔(''Boundary Creek Times'', 27 November 1908 )〕〔(''Coast News'', 17 July 1958 )〕 though a mine at the Jedway iron-magnetite deposit, known as the Jessie showings, did not open until 1961. In the earlier period, Jedway had been the "capital" of the Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii) until that (the headquarters of the provincial Gold Commissioner, E.M. Sandilands, whose position carried with it all the functions of and powers of government, to Queen Charlotte City in 1910.〔(''Nicola Valley News'', 2 September 1910 )〕 A 1908 in ''The Ledge'', a mining newspaper based in Greenwood, said "there is room for another hotel in Jedway".〔( ''The Ledge'', 19 July 1908 )〕 Jedway remained a local service centre after that, however, with two Chinese sentenced to months-long imprisonment being relocated there from Queen Charlotte City in 1912 indicating the presence of jail facilities there.〔(''Masset Leader'', 19 September 1912 )〕
==Jedway Iron Mine==
An open-pit mine, the Jedway mine operated until 1969, with the location being described as "more of a camp than a town" with a peak population of 258 in those years.〔(ghosttowns.com entry "Jedway" )〕 The mine was operated by Jedway Iron Ore Company'', a subsidiary of the Granby Mining Company Limited, with both companies holding a range of claims in the area. 3,938,702 tonnes of ore was milled, producing about 2.1 megatonnes of iron concentrate; export contracts for the ore were with Sumitumo Shoji Kaisha of Japan 〔(BC MINFILE Record summary No. 103B 026 )〕
