the corresponding period of last
year. _

The Silver Bow mine on Klean-

-|Vanmeter and Arthur Clore, of
Terrace, is proving up beyond all
expectations, From the first
staking of this property there has
been a great deal of interest
taken in the find, and some who
have more faith than others have
staked claimd in the same vicin-
ity. Considerable prospecting
and developing has been done
since fast summer. .

Van Meter and Clore started
work on a three-inch stringer of
ore onthe surface and sank a
shaft of 50 feet and drifted eight
feet from the bottom. This work
put on the dump or blocked out
in the mine $20,000 worth of ore.
The one-time stringer had widen-
ed out very. materially as depth
was gained. The ore is worth
over two hundred dollars a ton,
a substantial proportion of the
value being gold.

the north will be very active this
year. Among the engineers who
will visit here this season will be
Arthur W. Jenks from the Kay
Copper Co. and men from the
Victoria Development Syndicate,
The latter people will be in early
and mean business. Mr. Cabrera
also plans to proceed with the ..
development of the sands of the
Skeena river, beginning across
the river from Hazelton and at
different points up the river. An
engineer is looked for daily.

Mr. Lay has quite a program
mapped out forhimself. He will
begin ina few days a series of
lectures to prospectors and min-
ers at different points along the |
rrilwey where requested, begin-
ning at Hazelton. About the first
of May he hopes to get into the
Fort Graham ecuntry and there
look into the report of immense .
galena deposits. The reports are.
supposed to be authentic and he
has hopes of finding there the
makings of ‘another Sullivan. mine
No. engineer has yet made annexe
amination: From Fort Graham: |
he is going to the Parsnip. river, .
then down the Peace river. On: ©
the return trip he come via the
Omineca country.

The next he has mapped out is
to Prince Rupert and then down
the coast to Ocean Falls from
which point he will strike inland
to the Sibola country. examining
the south eastern section. The
balance, of the season will be de-
voted to the districts where de-
velopment is further advanced.

which point some sixty tons of
machinery were recently shipped .
into the Manson Creek : placer
fields.
