Captain McCoskrie and A.C. Murray, a Hudson’s Bay trader, had great hopes for the Crown grants of District Lots 103 and 42 they acquired in 1902. These lots were strategically located between the Gitanmaax Reserve around Hazelton and the Reserve close to the bridges across the Bulkley River at Hagwilget. The Hazelton Hospital was located on close to the southern boundary of DL 105 immediately to the north of DL 103. A Hazelton Town site Syndicate was set up in 1905 and the town site on the 353 acres on DL 103 they owned mapped out, complete with street names. There was to be a River Street, a River Drive and a Water Street. The government even built a bridge to cross the river. Because it required a steep descent to it and ascent from it on the other side was extremely steep, it was unpopular and considered dangerous. Their plan depended on the railway coming to Hazelton but, when it became clear that it would not, the plan soon withered. Some reports suggest McCoskrie may have donated a small part of his land to the Hazelton Hospital.
