ie jDevelopment of
A Lucky Luke To
Begin ¢ at Once

\

me USK, December 26.—Develop-
| ment on the Lucky Luke proper-

} ty, a mile and a half south of
: Usk, is being opened up, perman-
ently, there is reason to-believe,
_as a result of the work which was
{done recently, when a carload of
ore was taken out to test the
value of the vein contents. A
& shipment of 25 tons was made to
@ the Granby smelter in October,
® and averaged .78 oz, gold; 12.7.
| oz. silver; 22.44 per cent. copper,
per ton. A syniicate of Seattle
business men, with §. A. D.
Davis in charge of operations,
will have development work

started at onee, with a view to|

subsequently installing a plant.
| In the meantime a tunnel to ex-
tend from the lower adit is to be
driven 100 feet further. Sup-
|; plies and tools are being .as-
Sembled and-taken to the mine,
The geological features of the
property hold great potentialities
for a mine, the predominating
mineral being gold, as is the case
in all adjacent properties in the
Usk district.
