Creek trail. at 16-mile to the Baain,
where several pack-train loads were
delivered at the camp esteblished for
developing the late silver ore finds
made by Wells last season. A cabin
was built and other facilities completed
for continuous work during the open
season, The main outlet of this basin
is by Chiminess Creek, where a mag-
nifleent grade has been located by
Wells and the Stewart Bros. The lat-

made as to the amount required to turn
it into a road for hauling the high grade
silver ores that are being developed in
the Silver Basin.

A new find of silver-bearing copper
ore was made’ within the Silver Basin
radius at the head of the north fork of
Kleanza Creek, at a point Where the
Legate, Chiminess and Kleanza form
their common source, by Thomas Scul-
ley and associates, and six claims were
located. © Through further exploration
they brought some very high grade
chalcocite ore, The completion of the
Kleanza Creek trail will facilitaté the
exploration of this district,

James Gall and party disbanded the
government trail gang last Saturday,
after completing the last link in the
Xleanza trail. After many years of
striving the prospectors bave' at last
induced the officials to relieve a long
felt want. ‘The trail entailed some
tremendous difficulties through rock
and swamp, but there will now be no
bugoboo, which shooed off the prospec-
tive purchasers, nor will the Prospector

have the usual kick or want of a trail.

previous experience on the Skeena
the Vancouver Province says:
He is well known:.among pio-
neers of British Columbia, for
he spent some exciting times in
this province, Coming west
about 1886, he was thrown from
4 horse and went into hospital at
Kamloops. Whilereeovering from
his injuries trouble broke out
with the Skeena River Indians,
and he was commissioned by the
Montreal Witness to act as “war
correspondent.” He reached the
mouth of the river on an old
vessel called the ‘Cariboo Bly”’,

and found a British gunboat and
a battery of artillery there, No
“war”? developed, and Pocock
went on to Alaska.
On his return to the Skeena in
the fall he was asked by the
missionaries in charge at Metlat
kahtla to go up the river and
take over the mission post at Kit-
wanga, which was in the center
of the disaffeeted district. He
made the journey in a Hudson’s
Bay Co. freight canoe and re-

The extended absence of J. Hamblet
in the hills, between Copper Riyer and
the east end of the Kleanza range,
where he went alone on a prospecting
tour ia causing concern. Intending to
be back in three days, he has overstay-

relief party is being organized to hunt,
