The Silver Standard mine, owned by J. W.
Stewart and associates, with D. McLeod as man-
aging director, is the premier property of the
northern mineral belt. To date ‘it is much the
biggest producer in the district. . Last sammer it
sent out a trainload of ore that weighed 282 tons
and ‘yielded $30,000. Its output last winter was
over’ $700 tons of hand sorted ore e and returned
$114 per ton.

The mine is located on Glen mountain about
six miles from the railroad depot at New Hazel-
ton by the wagon road under construction. It
covers four parallel ledges, the second of which
has: been developed to a depth of 400 feet by a
shaft and drifts, while a cross-cut from the 250
foot level of the shaft has opened the No. 3 ledge
to.a depth of 300 feet. The ore of the Silver

Standard ‘is a mixture of galena, zine and gray

copper and occurs in lenses showing from two to
four feet of clean shipping ore.

here is a good machinery equipment on the
property now, and the mine is electrically lighted
A force of about 25 men is employ-

The No, 1 ledge appears to be the strongest

. and widest. but little work has been done on it on
" account of the wetness of the workings.
principal production has been from .the No. 2

The

ledge where a large body of good concentrating
ore has been developed south of the shaft and

some fine shoots of clean shipping ore in the drifts | === ee SSE

to the north on both the 150- and 280- foot levels.
From a surface cut on the No. 3 ledge some 50

tons of $200 ore have been extracted. Only pros-|f

pecting | work has been dcne on the upper vein,

This year’s work at the Silver Standard mine |ff
should bring it to a point where it will be capable |}

of large and steady production. The character

and ‘system of mineralization in its ledges has|f
been pretty well worked out so that in future|#-
much less dead work will be required to open up|&

its shoots of high grade. Everything underground

indicates that the horizons at and below the. 400-|

foot level will prove far the most productive. -

In one respect the Silver Standard differs a
from: nearly all the other mines and prospects in|
the country. It lies at a: comparatively low eleva- |
The|f
- ‘strength of its ledges and the high grade of ore
“they ‘contain on such low horizons is the best|

- guarantee that could be given as to the probable
on persistence to great depths.of most of the ore
bodies, which outerop on the bare peaks above the

“The American Boy mine, ‘owned by the Ha
ris Mines, Limited, is another property situated
It is located.on
the long western slope. of Nine Mile mountain
about seven miles by wagun road from the New
Hazelton depot. Its principal depelopment is also
by. shaft and its lowest level—1765 feet—shows . a
wider and stronger ore body and higher grade ore
than any other part of the mine. It is also to ‘be
noted that oxidation not only persists to the low-
est level, but is strongest there, indicating, in
my judgment, that a zone of secondary enrich-.
ment lies still deeper. The American Boy ore
shows little zine and consists for the most part of
clean galena and gray copper. |

To carry on the development of the property.
a hoist has been ordered and sooner or Jater a
pump will be required though the “workings are
still ‘dry as a bone. ; “i

The American Boy group consists of erght
claims and is known to be traversed by five ledges,

only three of which have. been. materially devel- |:
oped. The principal work has been done on the},

No. 3 or shaft vein. Surface stripping on this
ledge extends 300 feet north and 150 feet south
of the shaft. On the 100-fvot level 135 feet of
drifting has been done. The drift on the 175-foot
level shows a continuous ore body averaging fully
two feet in width.

The Silver Cup is the best developed : among
the properties located on the crown and -northern
slope of Nine Mile mountain, It has a magnifi-
cent surface showing consisting of .a continuous
outerop of high-grade galena about two feet in
width and 200 feet in length. The No. 1 tunne}
is driven continuously on this ore body for 175
feet and has good ore in the face.
tunnel has to be extended fiftv feet or more to
get under the beginning of this ore shoot. The

No. 3 and No. 4 tunnels are neither to the ledge i
When work is resumed on| (

yet, in my opinion.
this property this summer, as has now been ar-
ranged for by the owners, the extension of these
three tunnels should quickly place. the mine in a
position to ship a great deal of ore. My general
average of samples from this property was 185
ounces of silver and 60 per cent lead. “ A small
shipment was made from the mine when it was
working a couple of years ago and there is a con-
siderable quantity of ore sorted and sacked for
shipment on the dumps now.

Another property which has a lot of sacked ore
ready to ship is the Sunrise. I estimate the. pile
which has been corded up for a couple of years
at 80 tons, It all came from a surface cut along

‘Adjoining the Silver Cup ii is a
fractional claim of about 40 acres
called the Silver King and owned
by Hugh Harris. It shows a two-
foot ledge, one half of which as-

{says from 500 ounces in silver to

the ton up to 1300. This was the
highest grade ore [ found in any
property in the immediate vicin-
ity of New Hazelton.

Everything now, indicates that
several of these properties will
be actually operated during the
coming ‘summer ‘and that - this
section. of. the camp will: ship
several hundred tons of high
grade ore during the ensuing
year.

‘There is a wagon road from

New Hazelton to a point ‘beyond
the American ‘Boy mine. which
may be extended this year to ‘the
Silver Cup, serving all the .pro-
perties above mentioned en route.
