High grade gold-copper ore, in commercial quantities, is being developed. The solid ore struck in the lower workings, where a long tunnei was driven last. win- ter by Bingham and Davis, is 18 inches to 8 feet wide and carries high values in copper, silver and native gold. EK. L. Moody, one of the owners, reported on Satur- day, that there were 3 feet of ore in the.face of the tunnel and that pannings from the> drill holes show a long string of fine colors that will boost.the values beyond all former expectations. Three hundred and fifty- sacks of ore hauled down to the ‘depot for shipment, most of this ore»com- ing from the upper workings. A large quantity of ore from the lower level is piled up on the dump looking the Goleonda of wealth. The property was loeated some eight years ago by Moody and R. Lowrie and it was often thought too small by professional inyesti- gators, but it remained for an old ‘|sour-dough, S- A. Davis, to know- a good thing when he saw it. It is in the main mineral zone oc- cupied by the Kitsalas Mountain Copper Co. and is very similar in oré chacter. : The main workings of the two properties are 3,500 feet apart. The lower minerali- zation is about 400 feet wide and is in a soft schist zone, while to the west is another gold bearing vein in a hard formation, and it is believed equally rich. Great importance is attached to these discoveries on this slope of Kit- selas mountain. The Smithers hospital picnic on Sunday last ran into unfavorable weather which didnot help the attendance. It was, however, a financial success, Mine Near Usk|| Usk, B, C.—The Lucky Luke]. OVERHEARD AROUND - NEW HAZELTON Grace Phillips of Telkwa is a guest of Jean Burns, ; W. S.
