The Crur d. Alene Statesman saws, w.
A. Hills informed us on Sunday TINT
he had just struck the ledge in tho
Little Giant, after working faithfully for
three years. There is ore all through
the main tunnel OF this property, some
of 1t quite rich, but 1t was scattering and
In small quantities wherever found.
The owners of tho Giant group arc
Messrs. w. A. Hills and James O'NeilI.
After doing assessment work on their
various claims this summer they de.
cided to make the Little Giant show her
colors IL the owners went broke. To
that end they put on two shifts, work
ing day and night, and after running
into the hill for u distance of 240 feet, on
sunday noon they struck the main ledge
in tho lower tunnel after working through
the hanging wall. The ore is galeua
and crystallized lead in good quantities.
Just how wide tho ledge IL, is as yet
unknown. When the men came TO the
ore ledge they Mt once quit work and
came to Mulian to celebrate.
Ihe Ginnt group Is composed of four
good prospects, the ohlei Of which Is tho
Little Giant, upon which most of the
labor has been expended. Ii Is located
across the South Fork agd about two
miles south of the town of Mullau, and
is IN the Hunter district. Tho Central
mine, the property OF Governor Miles
{. Moore, OF Washington, and J. Il.
Empield, is the western extension of
the Little Giant, ana 1t already has a
good showing OF galcnn, but hardly
enough to justify tho building of con-
Centrator.
The Tacoma Ledger of Friday saysi
Nineteen Acknowledged Cinnamon. with
nineteen different expressions on their
countenances huddled together in car
ON the Northern Pacific railroad yester.
day morning, and chattered like a crowd
of apes. They were Cinnamon whom
United Stated Marshal Brown recently
tried to unload at Victoria, but on ac.
count of a.tcchnicnlity in the law, he WAS
compelled to bring them back to this city.
When the officials at Washington, ID. G.,
were informed that Collector Bradshaw
had no place to keep the Cinnamon IL
they were sent to Port Townsend, the
order TO that elect was rescinded and
the marshal directed to take them back
to Frisco. Yesterday he collected them
and took them to Portland via tho
Northern Pacific. From Portland they
started for Frisco aboard one of the
Pacific Mail company's steamers, aud
from that city they will be sent TO tho
Flowery Kingdom. n sadder looking
crowd of heathons would DO hard to lind
than Marshal Browns charges when
they learned that they were to be sent
"a me, and one of them remarked:
Heican milan to diam smlart."
The Victoria Times, speaking of fur
shipment, In its issue of Wednesday,
says:
The steamer Islander both yesterday
and to day carried from the city partic-
ularly valuable csrgoes. In both cases
the shipments were OF furs, although the
kinds di tlered.
Included in yesterdays consignments,
from the Hudson's Bay Company here
to the Hudson's Bay Company. London,
were all classes OF bear beaver, otter and
mink, totaling 10000 skins, with an ap-
proxinnte value ofSl5O,OOO. Theassort.
ment was of uniformly good quality and
the skins this year are, If anything diff
fercnt Of q little better average size than
last season. This is the first time
in the history OF the old CORPORA
ton that the annual shipment from
Victoria has been made by rail. The
Titania generally includes the nrs in
her manifest from this city. II is an
experiment principally that the adop--
ton of the rail route has been decided
on this season. Freights will of course
be much higher, but interest and insur-
ance will be reduced and iurs will reach
London In time for the January instead
OF the March sale. Without doubt this
will be the largest individual consign-
ment of inrs that has yet passed over
G. +. r., and no efforts will bo spared
TO land it in England as speedily as pos.
sible.
Another strike was made near Sulli-
van last week, says the Cmur d. Alene
sun. which affords furthsr proof of the
existence Of an immense silver and lead
bolt crossing Pritchnrd creek. On tho
23d of May last, several claims were
located in the vicinity of the Cater and
Darling properties, near sullivan, by
Messrs. Wilmot, Miner and Wolf Work
has been prosecuted on one--the Lizzie
" oods-and OIL the 9Th OF this month
the ledge was struck in a tunnel which
is in only eleven feet. The ledge is cross
cutted for seven feet and the foot wall is
not yet reached. The ore Is galena and
silver, with more or loss hematite of iron
through the ledge, but as greater depth
is attained this will run out. A large
quantity Of the rock was brought 70
town and all the mining men who have
examined II pronounce it as being rich
in silver and lcnd, There is q striuger of
rich ore about four inches wide ON the
hanging wall, and large kidneys are
| found all through the ledge. The hang
! ing wall is granite. This is parallel
/ ledge to the Barton, and the claim Is on
| the north side of Prichard creek, show
/ ing that the belt crosses the creek and
extends indefinitely northward, and
\ that the rich ledges of Canyon creek ex-
| tend across the range. a little more de-
| velopmcnt on the many properties
| discovered this spring and bodies
| OF ore will be unearthed rival
| ing those of South Fork. The owners of
! the Lizzie Woods have other claims on
! this leuge--lhe Golcondu, Willamette,
! Thanatopsis and Jeanette. Mr. Wilmot
| is one of the pioneers Of the camp, and
has been mining on Trail gulch and
other places on the north side since the
early days; sometimes in the face of
! adverse circumstances. In his own
words, IL worked one season and u half
and cleared $6 but | knew that would
strike IL some time and Just kept chub-
| bing along, and / think have got il
dead sure this time" We feel confident
that his words will prove true.
