Strike in the Algonquin--A Fine

Special Correspond ace ye,o North West.

A visit to the new strike in the cross-cut
level 100 feet west of the main shaft allows
me TO report pro tempo the existence ola
NEW BODY OF ORE IN TUE ALGONQUIN

bears marked resemblance to Trout rock,
(of the base metals, zinc largely predomina-
ting, and in general average assay 1t out
ranks anything. hitherto found in the mine
east 1t appears that no faith was placed In
the development west-all work done and
good ore hitherto found being invariablyto
the east of the shaft, the vein in that direc.
ton being well defined and very compact.
This pleasing discovery may be altogether
attributed to what might be, and has been,
considered an. q 1fortunate accident-the re-
cent breakage of the sinking pump. Sinking
in the main shaft being temporarily stayed,
the men were put to work driving west, and
in 100 feet cut the ledge. The vein proper
measures eight feet in width and carries 30
inches of high grade rock. Should this aver
age be kept up for 100 feet, Algonquin stock
will be like government securities, hard to
get In the main east level, two shifts are
cutting the immense body of low grade ore
and selecting the best for milling. The Chin

AT THE SALMON.
The incline on No. shaft has reached a
total depth of 300 feet. The stump still con-
tinues downward until station can be put in
on the new level to be started at the distance
of $50 feet. Water under control and no ore
taken from upper slopes.
THE HOPE MILL
is running steadily on company rock from
the Hope mine. A two years supply of ore
is said to be on hand.
THE EMERALD MINE

(Eph) were offered $4,000 for their interes,
and refused it. The ore is rich and plentiful
Two more generous or deserving men never
lived, and in common with host of friends
we hope they may make their thousands out
of it.
THE TROUT SHAFT
is 5l2 feet deep, progress about two feet per
day and water under control.
