MAKE BIG COPPER STRIKE

Rocher de Boule Mine Hits Pay
Ore—Will Begin Ship-
Ments at Once

A big strike of ore was made
this weelc on the Rocher de Boule.
Reports emanating from reliable .
sources are to the effect that.
while working on No, 1 tunnel
a six-foot body of ore was en-
eountered carrying about 5 feet -

level. The vein has been traced —
over thirty feet and contains a
high percentage of pay ore, and
is one of-the biggest strikes ever
made on the property. The man-
agement is highly delighted with
the discovery and will reorganize
its plant and reconstruct its tram-
way, to facilitate shipments,
which will. be commenced with-
out delay. Quite a-flurry and |
a sharp rise in the price of the
small amount of Rocher de Boule
stock on the market was experi-.
enced on the Vancouver exchange
when the news reached there of
the strike,.-An added impetus
has been piven to the mining -
game on the mountain and faith
in quality and quantity of its ore
bodies has been rekindled.
