The feature of the week i in vocal
mining was 3 remarkable strike
onthe Rochér: de Boule group,
where a-body. of high grade cop-

{par ore was. encountered in the

upper: vein, “A crosseut tunnel,

run ‘to. tap: the- vein,: reached the
footwall. on. Monday; breaking
into ore showing ‘@ good ‘deal of
native: copper as well as copper
glance and..eopper. pyrites, The
vein was reached - in 60 fest,’
about 11 feet less than the ow-

ners expected to drive, the gain;

beinig’ accounted’. for by the
atraightening - up ‘of the: vein,

wwhich:shows'in the tunnel" dip

of %5 degrees, R.. P. Trimble,
one of the owners, came ‘in yes-
terday with samples from the
véin; which are attracting much
attention, “He reports the tunnel
has cut through 4 feet of the ore,

Jand the hanging wall has not yet
{been reached. The showing ‘is

"declared ‘to be! ¥éry fine and
strengthens the. general opinion
that this. greun’ is bound to play
an important part. asa producer. | -

"On the lower vein, which: ‘ig also|-

; remarkable. for its unusual show-

ing of ore, ‘an assay of $13 ounces
of silver has been obtained from
the lead ore.

: “When the. tunnel on the upper
vein has been driven far enough
to define the width. of the lead,:
the work of prospecting the veins
will be. practically finished and
thé way will be. open ‘for a com-
prehensive: plan of ‘development
by means of. tunnels which will
tap the veitis sat" ‘considerable
depth. .

“It is understood that! the bond
given” to W.:cJ. Cowan | will
béetaken up within a few days,
when Trimble & Pemberton, the
present owners, will turn the
Recher de Boule group over to
the American capitalists who are
‘associated with Mr. Cowan.”

as the result of the operations, of

have acquired ground for dredg-
ing purposes, Probably the most
important work is that inaugu-
rated by -G. H. Knowlton; the
Vancouver operator who has a
number of men employed pros-
pecting his leases by means of
rotary drills, . Mr, Knowlton,
who returned from the Omineca
on Monday, states that five miles .
of ground are already prospected,

twelve to thirty-four feet deep,
The result, of the. work is most
encouraging and. only better

quired to make. dredging highly
profitable, —-

Mr. Knowlton, who was ac-
companied by M. E. Lafferty, .
a dredging expert from Leadville,
left for the coast on Tuesday,
He will return in the spring, and
hopes to have extensive oper- —

Efforts are-being’ made to secure
the construction of a wagon road
from Tatla lake to the mines, al-
lowing the transportation of a
plant, which it is now impossible
to take in.
