comes back with a rather high opinion
OF them. Snow creek is but a short dis
lance from Neihart, and for the amount
OF work done it certainly makes a fine
showing. III the very near future, with
the development in store for thai por-
ton OF the Belt mountains, it is certain
to be an important and prosperous camp.
At Silver City the Healy (Alberta)
mine is turning out some fine b o ore
which the company intend to send to
Swansea, Wales, TO be smelted. The
present indications are that this mine is
going to turn out very rich. The surface
ore yields over 10 per cent copper and a
considerable percentage OF silver and
other minerals. There is a prospect Of
Silver city booming again and that after
the placer mining is over, the inhabit-
ants will return and settle down to hard
pan.-Nor-Wes
