The Manitoba Mountain.

The region just south of the townsite is
attracting much attention this spring. says
the Belt Mountain Miner. The record of
the Ontario company has proved beyond q
doubt that the granite leads Of this district
are very valuable, consequently every foot
of ground has been thoroughly prospected
and several valuable locations made. Chief
among the prospectors has been NJ. Seacott.
Commencing with the South Ontario and
Clendenin he traced three distinct leads.
On the first, which is believed to be a CON
tinuation of the Ontario, he located the
Mountain Chief. the Louise and the Napo-
leon. Cross-cuts were made every 200 feet
and the direction and size of the vein thus
determined. In each discovery the surface
rock and general indications are
identical with the Ontario. Crossing
This lead, which runs southwesterly, are
two others which are parallel and eA-
tend north and south. On these two
leads are located the Mcdonald, Render,
Monte Christie. Louise, Louise and Joseph
inc, These two leads vary from three to
eight feet in thickness and carry a pay
streak varying from three to twenty-six
inches. The granite walls are we'll defined
and almost perpendicular. The Gaping is
q dark iron carbonate but soon turns to a
blush quartz, carrying galena and s%ulphuret
of silver. Even with the small amount of
DEVELOPMENT these claims are looked upon
with much favor by those who have visited
them.

Strikes in Jefferson County.

The prospects in the Stella mine, Amazon
district, continue to improve, says the Age.
A carload OF the galena ore struck a couple
OF weeks ago netted $1,4OO, there being
tventy-one tons of ore in the car. Some
fifty or sixty tons Of the same character of
ore are now on the dump ready for ship
ment. A new strike was made i'll the mine
Monday, which promise to greatly increase
the value of the property. This was three
feet of carbonates, found in drifting
west from the shaft. The recent galena
strike was made in drifting east, and the
vein maintains a width of five feet.
it is under bono and lease to Fred Marks
and his partner.
Pat MCGOWAN has temporarily suspended
work on the Minneapolis mine, Cataract
district, on account of lack of funds. He
has put a good deal of work and money into
the property the past three years. but feels
that it will all come back to him after q
while. He has on the lead a new 100-foot
shaft, from which there is a crosscut sixty
feet to a second vein on the claim. At the
depth of eighty feet there are levels twenty
five feet in one direction, and sixty feet in
the other, both in ore. At a depth of forty
feet there are levels also in both directions
and both in ore. On the west end of the
claim is a ~seventy-foot shaft from which
the water drove him. The vein shows about
two feet of good shipping ore, with five to
ten feet of concentrating ore.
The Boulder Chief is said to be in a larRs
body of milling and concentrating AoT9s
The ore is a high grade galena, and the
value of tho property is much enhanced BY
the ease with which the mine can be worked.
But little is being done at present on the
mine. a few men. however, being engaged
in running levels and drifting.
The Hiawatha mine is rather quiet at
present, though the managers of the COM
pany have perfect confidence in it's future.
Sinking on the shaft will be resumed after
the payment of another assessment on the
stock, which will be made in the course of
two or three weeks. 1t is likely that as
sessment will follow assessment until the
mine is thoroughly developed.
Roger NcCaffrey is developing the Sheri-
dan lode, Cataract district. having a 100
foot tunnel run in on the vein. Ihere ia
from three to six feet of quartz, some of the
ore assaying from $500 to $4,000 to the ton.
1t shows considerable ruby silver, with
chlorides and sulphates.
Frank Nelson, of Wickes, has a crew of
men at work on the Belle lode, near Wickes,
and another crew on the Mocchsin lode, in
Rocker gulch. He has been taking out ore
from the latter for some time, but the heavy
SHOWS have prevented shipments.

Kootenay Mines.

Last spring a tenderfoot from Tacoma
wandered nto the lake country, and after
looking around for a while drove a stake in
Hot Springs district. says the Nelson Miner.
For a time his experiences were much the
same as hundreds Of others; he purchased
and worked worthless properties. and 10
Gated others equally worthless. Finally he
got hold of a claim called the "Tenderfoot.
This was not only a pretty good looking
prospect, but it was located near good
ground-the United and krao claims not
being far distant. Considerable develop
ment work was done on it last fall, and
work was again resumed this spring. This
week that tenderfoot sold that 'Iender-
FOOT to Richard Ashworth. of Billings,
Mont, for $1,000. Mr.. Ashworth will. as
soon as he returns from Montana, begin its
development in earnest. and having album
liant means the work will not lag for ready
money. If a few more men of his stamp
become interested in Hot Springs district,
that camp will not take q back seat even
for the Coeur d'Alene country as a silver
lead producer. w. W.. Sprague is the
tenderfoot.
The smelter at Revelstoke will be blown
in as soon as the ore now sacked at the
Number One mine, in Hot Springs district,
can be got through to Revelstoke.
