of the mors important Discoveries

— 3... WELLS '

During the advent tof steamers
to Hazelton, on the Skeena River,,|;
and the building of a wagon road
to the Bulkley Valley from there,
transportation facilities enabled
prospectors to enter along the
and penetrate the whole interior;
giving rise to such discoveries as
the Rocher de Boule. Silver Stan-
dard, and properties on Nine-
mile mountain. The two former
developed into shipping and mill-
ing properties, and’ shipped, to-
gether with minor exceptions,
$2,295,000 worth of metalliferous
minerals.

Co-incident with this activity,
the upper Bulkley was prospected
and many locations were made on
Hudson Bay mountain and the
Telkwa and Babine ranges of
gold-silyer-copper minerals. Not-
withstanding shipments of high-

Telkwa, notably bright sheets of
native silver from the Hudson
Bay mountain, the district did
not entice the buying corporations
until J. F, Duthie, a Seattle ship-
builder, was encouraged by a
practical miner to develop -the

The Federal also acquired the
Dome Mountain gold properties,
and brought in heavy machinery
for operations there, for the pur-
pose of sinking on a series of
auriferous quartz veins carrying
$10 in gold over bodies 20 feet
wide, However, thev have not
as yet sunk deep enough to get
below the pinch of the igneous
thrust through the metamorphic
rocks, to prove it.

In the intervening territory
westerly.to Usk prospectors dis-
covered high-grade copper at the
east termination of the Kleanza
range, overlooking Copper River
to the east and south, in an older
formation of andesite flows and
porphyry intrusives, rising to
6,000 feet above sea level, form-

On the northern portion of this
zone separated by Kleanza. creek,
the Silver Basin was discovered
at the east end of the O.K. range
in 1923, at an elevation of from
4000 to 5000 feet above seu level,
and thirteen miles east of Usk.
These'discoveries are important,
in that they. show high-grade
silver ores that can be easily
handled by the prospector. The
ore is in the form of native silyer,
grey copper, bornite as subsidiary,
galena and some argentite, in
bands of calcite and quartz from
one to erghteen inches in width,
in calcareous veing from six to
ten feet wide fissures crosscutting
the formation. The ore carries
597 ounces in silver, $30 in gold,
and from 6 to 15 per cent copper.
New discoveries are being made
from time to time, Legate creek,
north of this basin, is also the
fleld of high-grade gold-silver
finds in well-defined veins.

-In 1914 the Cordillera was dis-
covered on the east slope of the
Kitselas mountain, one mile be-
low the village of Usk, and 200
yards from the Canadian National

Railway track. It is a gold prop-

The Call of the
~ North Woods

Never do the great Canadian
north woods call so insistently,

as during this magie month of
October. when the mornings are
sparkling cool and clear, when
the wild goose honks over the
still lakes, when the trees are a
symphony of crimson, green and
gold, when the sun goes down
like a ball of fire and all night
long the quivering northern
lights play across the sky.

Then it is that you long to leave
the city’s dust, and din, the wie-
ket, the ‘telephone, the type-
writer, the newspaper, stiff col-
lars and razors all behind and
answer the call‘of the northern
wilds. You see the trail of the
moose on the spongy moss. You
héar the eall of the wild things
of the forest, the song of a bullet
through the clean coo) air and
the erash of your lordly prey as
it: falls before. your aim. But
perhaps business | ia urgent dnd
each day is filled to the brim
and he feels. he cannot go.

Still the north woods call, and

it no longer. You will get ‘out
your, old rifle, sweaters and tors
and go to the nearest. Canadian
