Besides bseng very rich in silver, the ore also contains attractive gold values. no other mine in Brlish Columbia cau produce a piece of ore the same alze and with the same. values.- After years of. testing beside the town pump Duke Harris had the ore carted to the “Arnott house: where he was residing | at: the time and it remain- there until last week when the present nlinager of the Silver Standard mine had’ the two big, pieces placed in, the’ “amain “high : and ‘where ft "c can le seen. by all tourists and others who might be, interested,’ KITSECUGKLA Indian Agent, visited the village and inspected the work on the school and the improvement.
