| suipherets or silver are the pleasing characteristics of it's ore. Fifty feet of l shaftIng is now being sunk on the claim. | and if the bright prospects found on the surface continue down, the Alberta ill l prove worthy sister to the Cup. With good wishes to the boys we are away to Silent. On the road we pass the wonder iul iron deposit worked by the Black Rock Co. for Smelt fux The vein is four feet thick. hematIte ore, and fifteen hundred feet long. Within a half an hour the. familiar croppings of the majestic
 RED CLOUD
 appear, majestic still, in spite of its soli- tude, silent and irrefutable reproaeh to the ignorance and extravaganza of it's owners. The bonanza mine still, that had it Shipman and a Hubbard to steer its fortunes would soon be contentedIy floating on the silvery sea of prosperity. 1 To be more practical. The Red Cl> ud Mine has thousands of tons of ore on is dump that will pay handsomely to work. Its ore reserves are immsnse~ and even above ground, in place still, is Igh 1 ore to make any one man rich. Not pound of ore was ever stopped out-the rock worke1, and on the dump, coming l from the surface, and the sinking oi shafts and winzcs. Dssensions amongst its owners is all that causes it to remain 1 idle. The day however cannot be far dis l tant when the old Red Cloud will prove 1 | the assertions of the writer, that "tnere l are millions in it." Adjoining the Red | Cloud Is the promising mine known as 1 the l. NELLY KENYON, d mine that has over three feet Of free | milling ore that averages 40 ounces silver to the ton. Further north on the same | lead are the ROVER AND MELISSA, both splendid properties which will prove fortune to their owners in shOri period. Continuing south, we pass ihe IRON CAT,
 at pressnt idle but good property be- yond doubt. Adjoining this claim is the
 ENGINEER,
 another good mine. We now are oppo- ] site the great ano magnificent
 BLACK ROCK
 mine, which properly named. shouid have beer called Silver Mountains. Two years Mr Hughes sold this valuable pro- perty to Boston Company of whom Mr. F. J. Clark is ;he representative. Imme- diately upon securing the property Mir. Clark commenced careful aud thorough development of the mine. The main Sba is now down 4S5 feet, all in pay ore, and cross-euts, drifts and other workings OI the ledge show up s2lendidly. There i, an immense quantity of orc ou the dump, aud the furnace at the river is coDVer!- | ing the ore into bullion. On the mesa | adjoining the mIne the company has l erected q number of neat and cozY frame houses, where their employees are con- fortabIy housed Ore houses, steam l hoisting works and all the necessary ap- plianees of tfrst-class mine are placed where they are the handiest- There is no confusion in the workings of this i'm mense mine, and tue aff ,irs of the Black Rock and Pacific Company move wilh the regularity of clockwc'rk. For all this it is but simple justice to give the credit to Mir Franklin J. Clark, the courteous and capable gentleman in charge of the valuable interests of this company. He has made host of friends through his uniform kindness, and his ability is recognised by all. ID d. jusli; 6 to the great Sllver Mining DiStri ct would require an abler pen than mine. The camp is still in it's infancy, but it's youth promises $ bright manhood, which i, bourd to give uutol1 wealth to this Ter ritory.
