rule, but equally distinct and trace.
able often through six full claims Oh
more. Their value lies principally
IN the exceedingly high grade of the
ore assays, and returns of 4OC
ounces IN silver being thought
nothing OF. The headquarters OF
this section is at the town of Wat
sonville, between Bear and Fish
lakes, where Kaslo and Seaton
creeks take their origin, flowing
respectively east and west. All
around for many miles the forma-
ton appears to be scanned with
Lodges of high grade ore, and in this
nelghborhood most of the develop
ment work which will be done in
the camp this winter is going on.
Already several mines have attained
a depth Of from rs to $50 feet, and
at this depth there is enough ore in
sight to pay for each of them, a
statement which hardly appears
creditable when it is known that
the most likely have sold for from
$4,000 upwards.
To describe the principal claims
In this section will give the reader
a fair idea of its characteristics.
The first important claim up Kaslo
creek on the right, after passing the
trail to Brennan's camp, is the
Whitewater. This claim shows a
ledge 10 to II feet wide containing
carbonates aud galena. This is a
very high grade ore. Shipments
made last fall to the Great Falls
smelter yielded over 200 ounces in
silver to the ton.
About mile from this is the
Wellington mine, one of the few in
the camp owned by Canadian cap
ltal. This shows about Is inches
Of very high grade carbonates and
galena carrying sulphurets. A
depth Of over 100 feet has been at
tanned on this claim, and on the
dump is i ge amount of high
grade shippingsue. Work on this
claim has been continued all winter.
On the divide between Bear lake
md the north fork Of Carpenter
'reek, about one and a half miles
north Of Bear lake, are several
claims showing lodges of white
quartz carrying gray copper. These
ire free milling propositions. The
pest developed of them is the Silver
which has a nice ore dump
continuing so or 60 tons of ore.
some OF this has been assorted, and
Will run over 800 ounces to the ton.
On the left bank going up are
several important tributaries above
he south fork. On Spring creek
he best developed are the Carbon
tie and the Fourth of July. The
lrst named shows a well defined
edge, traceable the full length of
he claim, Of carbonate and galena
re assaying from $50 to 4OOounces.
The other IS on the opposite side of
spring creek, and shows a ledge
raceable through two full claims
rom 8 to u feet wide, containing
ugh grade galena and gray copper
ssaying from 1873 to 61O ounces.
On the next creek above on the
anne BANK, called Jackson creek.
fter the discoverer, is one Of the
argest lodges in the country. 1t is
II Of 20 feet wide, containing gal
ma and carbonates, and has been
onded to Seattle capitalists for
10000. Down this creek is trail

100 feet. The ore assays consider
ably over 100 ounces on the average.
The Washington is considered by
many to be the best claim in the
camp. 1t shows on the surface a
ledge from to 20 feet wide, carry
ing galena and carbonates. A tun-
mel has been run in on the ledge 100
feet, which shows a solid body of
thrde feet of galena, besides some
carbonates, all the way. This ore
will average 140 ounces. Just above
it is the SLOGAN Boy, with three par
allel lodges, one of which is of still
higher grade ore. A working shaft
was sunk on this property 100 feet,
and work continued on all these
claims throughout the winter. The
Fremont appears to be an extern
sion of the SLOGAN Boy down the
mountain on one side, and the
Snowstorm on the opposite side also
shows up the same lodges. The
Lucky Jim is some distance from
there and is more of carbonate
proposition than either of them.
Its product, too, runs very high,
and the bond of $4,000 on it, given
last fall, has been taken up. A
dozen more claims in the vicinity
deserve special mention, but enough
has been said to explain the char
acter and grade of the bonanzas now
being worked in this locality.
ON CARPENTER CREEK.
Returning to the forks of the
creek and again resuming our iourn-
ey up Carpenter creek, we come in
four miles to London creek, pass
ing on the way the Wonderful and
several other lodges of high grade
galena. About a half mile up
London creek, which comes in on
the south, is the SLOGAN Star, one of
the biggest mines of the camp. On
the way to the mine we passed a
a boulder of float measuring 125
tons, or in other words, forming
cube measuring ten feet each way,
which recently sold on the ground
for $4,000 in cash. The SLOGAN
Star shows an immense wide ledge
with strong iron cropping. Sew
eral thousand dollars worth of work
has already been done on it and a
depth of 100 attained, showing a
continuous vein of ore five feet in
width of solid clean high grade ga
ena running from 125 ounces of
silver upwards.
NOBLE FIVE HILL.
About mile above London creek
Noble Five creek comes in and it is
n this gulch that the most surpris-
ng array of bouanzas is to be found.
About 300 feet up the mountain
side, which mountain it must be
understood is called Noble Five
Hill and forms the divide between
Aaslo and Carpenter creeks, is a
series Of mines which would be
wonder in any camp. First on the
vest comes the Bonanza King
group Of five claims on one ledge,
leld at a price Of 100000. These

'ery high-grade galena, chloride
md carbonates. Next on the east
$ the Deadman group, but slightly
developed, but very promising in
-spect. Next comes the Rico, now
'elng worked by its new owners,
'atsy Clark and others Of the Ceur
7 Alenes, and purchased by them
few months ago for $4,000, when
My assessment work had been

and its limits are clearly marked
by the country granite, which cuts
it off on all sides except the east,
where it extends across the range
throughout what has been described
as the Kaslo country, back of which
the granite comes in, making the
circle complete.
Throughout this area the lodges
of high-grade galena are numerous.
They are almost all definitely
known to be fssure veins. They
all run In one unvarying direction,
northwest and southeast, while the
lay of the slate is northwest south
east. The country rocks dip to the
east at an angle, while the mineral
lodges dip just the opposite way.
The ores embrace half dozen diff
ferent varieties of galena and all
are high grade. Hardly anything
has been found running under 100
ounces in silver and 80 per cent
lead, and from that the returns
were away up in the thousands, de-
pending on the proportion of gray
copper, native, ruby or antimonial
silver present in the ore.
Last spring absolutely not dol
lars worth of assessment work had
been done in the camp, and now
many of the properties are down
lOO feet or more. Large shipments
have been made and are being made
daily of ore running in large lots of
several tone from 1875 ounces in sill
yer up. Last spring not trail had
been blazed, even through the thick
timber; now wagon roads traverse
the main valley and good pack trails
have been cut to a dozen different
groups Of mines. Then there were
half a dozen genuine locations and
5O or more locations and wildcats,
now there are upwards Of 100 prom
Using claims being developed.
The belt in which all these won
ders have been achieved is the val
ley Of Carpenter creek and its trib-
utaries, and portion of the Four
Mile creek basin, which adjoins it
on the south. Carpenter creek en-
tiers SLOGAN lake about eight miles
from its northern extremity. About
hive miles up the creek forks. Here
IS located q rich gray copper pros
pect called the Gray Eagle, showing
from six to eight inches of very
high grade ore between granite walls,
the only discovery SO far made in
that formation. Between here and
the lake, on the southern bank,
some seven or eight fine prospects
have been located on the divide be-
tween Carpenter creek and Four
Mile creek. On several of them
work has been pushed all winter,
and when the snow goes off two of
them at least will have a depth Of
over 100 feet shown up on the
ledge.
At the forks already referred to
creek divides into three.
The north fork is but little pros
pected yet, but numerous small
lodges Of gray copper ore have been
located. AS little interest has yet
been shown in this section, how
ever, and no trail has yet been built,

The middle fork is called Seaton
creek, and on the divide between it
and the north fork, generally called
Carpenter creek, some of the best
mines in the district have been
found. The dividing ridge is called

Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Kern,
Tulare and Fresno. 1t has been deter
mined to conduct this fair with view
to developing the citrus fruit industry of
Southern California, the main contests
for premiums being largely scientific
tests as to quality of fruit under such
conditions that neither awarding judges
nor even the owners Of the fruit can To-
cate the ownership of the fruit prior to
making the awards.

The Pioneer Poet Laid to Rest on Fri
day Last.
The pioneer poet, A. Il. Kercheval,
was buried from his residence on Lemon
street Friday afternoon. Notwithstand-
ing the extreme inclemency of the
weather there was large Assem- blage
of his ne ghbors and friends pr esent at
the funeral services, conducted by Rev.
B. F. Coulter. The brother and other
relatives of deceased from the northern
part of the state assisted in the sad GER
emonies. The remains were taken to
Rosedale cemetery and buried along
side of those of Mrs. Kercheval, who
died about year ago.
Mr.. Coulter delivered quite a lengthy
eulogy on the dead pioneer, and spoke
feelingly of his sweet character as a
man, his devotion to his family and his
public spirit as a citizen. He dwelt
upon his great gifts as a poet and
praised his published productions He
had written lines that were hot doomet
to die, and all his poems were instinct
with the spirit of patriotic and Chris
tian nature.
Thus has been laid at rest one of the
most amiable and gifted men we have
ever had in our midst.
