lead ore from: the Silver Bow claim on

has a lot of high ore on the dump at
the mine whieh he is having sacked at
the present ‘time. - At first it was ‘in-

tig plant at Prince ‘Rrpert, but as tt
is not ready, and not likely to be for

Dr. Kindle to.
Upper Skeena
This Summer

Dr, EF. D. Kindle arnived, from Ot:
tawa at the middle of last ‘Week and.
on Friday moved his party” aud ‘équip-
ment to Hazelton. For the: past few
years a systematic geologicat;’ ‘survey
of the Skeena Valley has been carried
on during the summer months and Dr.
Kindle’ and others have covered niuch
of the ore bearing territory, Last
year work was carried on as far us
Cedarvale and this year’s plans call
for a further survey from that ‘point
on up the river. Dr. Kindle told The

| News that he is looking forward to the

work of this season. Knowing that it
will take him into a district where 1
number of properties have nndergone
considerable development he is curi-
ous to see just what the mineral cou-
ditions are,

He plans to spend some considerable
time on Rocher de Boule mountain ond
on Four Mile and Glen mountains, both
of which. show high mineral contents.
In fact it is on Glen mountain where
the Silver Standard mine is located,
and on which big developments will he
undertaken. shortly. In his work Dr.
Kindle will use maps prepared by the
topographical survey parties. ‘These
parties, whileworking separately, ure
all working to a general scheme.

The tupogrephical maps that are be-
ing issued giving the work of these
parties are printed on a seale of four
miles to the inch. Contours are given
far cach five hundred foot level, and
they shoukl prove invaluable to those
who wish to have aceurate information
of the mountain country,
