Gavigan, who ° recently visited Usk, interested himself in the mines | * there which are: proving promising. Telling of them Mr. Gavigan said: The Emma Group situated one mile!’ from Usk and now being operated by Mr. Lowery of Montanna is doing con- siderable work and employes. at ‘the| present time about 10 men. The Columario mine is -situated about five miles from. Usk and is now employing about 10 men under ditee- tion of J. Willman. They have just recently taken in a compressor and. equipment to the value of $10,000. . The Chimney Mass Creek Mine is ahout 12 miles from Usk. Five men are working at the mine and the com- pany is paying the cost of building a road to the mine, As soon ns the road is completed a large quantity of mach- inery now at: Usk will be taken in. The mine commenced operation ‘about ‘ a year ugo. The Dindem group is about and rs half miles from Usk. The operations are wider the management of Mr. Laundsbry who recently went .out to Seattle to purchase more. equipment. A considerable quantity of machinery is now at the mine where four men are employed. When machinery arrives from the Old Country it is expected they will employ between 1h and 20 men. The Toulin mine is an old property crown granted 25 years ago. This mine was reopened recently under di- rection of Mr. Willman, At the pres- ent time they have three men working and expect to increase this before long. The Singlehwrst mine was recently reopened by Mr. Seeley of Seattle who is now getting ready for the season's operations. ’ ‘The Kitselas Copper Mountain . Com: pany is about a mile from Usk. Over $80,000 was spent in putting in a mill! which afterwards was found not situ- ated ‘in the proper’ place. After in- stalling the mili they found the high grade ore was recovered by, working through a lower tunnel which they had not driven until after putting in the mill. Mr. Darby is in charge, A mining engineer, McKechnie, from the Consolidated, .examined pamver of properties including _Kit- selas Copper. There is mod ore in a 70-foot tunnel but it is lower than the mill, thus handicapping operations.
