STAKING MANY GOLD CLAIMS

Since the reported discovery of gold
this xpring by Ely Fleteher and Ben
Nelson on the large yporphory dike
about cight miles north east of Smith-
era, sone sixty claims lave been stak-
d, chiefly by local people. The dike
is only two miles from a good auto
mobile voad. Samples taken from over
i hundred feet of the surface give a
return of $30.26 per ton, There is a,
event local interest in the find and if
ihe dike lives up to expectations it
lromises to be one of the biggest pro-
positions in British Columbia, It ean
he worked by steamshovets 1f work
now being done on the dike proves it
worth while to continue operntions.

A number of men are engnged strip-
jing the surface and a thorough test
of the gronnd will be made. Among
those who have staked ground ate R.
W,. Wilson & Son who have elght of

the sixty claims staked.
