On some OF the claims a good deal of

parallel leads and one cutting through at
an acute angle TO the others. One OF
these has been eross-cut for eighteen feet
and the footwall is not IN sight Assays

Harry: then John Fisher. OF Rossland,
and David Nickerson entered the scramble
and were followed by Mr.. Nickerson's
brother. Daniel Mr.. Bauerman and Ben
jamin Anderson are now In possession. and
have stripped the north lead. showing six
teen feet Of ore. and stripping the south
lead for twenty feet has not revealed either
wall. The ore assays sl2 for all values.
On the Canadian Lakeview a drift has
beeen run on the ledge for twenty feet.
showing four feet Of ore. and cross-cut
OF eight feet has Just shown both walls.
Assays show S14 gold and per cent. cop
per. On the Lakeview Extension are four
lodges one OF which has been cross-cut
and Is ten feet wide between walls. The
American Lakeview, which Is three-quar-
ters of mile south of the boundary. has
a ledge three feet wide on the surface.
showing a good deal OF free gold. which

which is now sixty-five feet deep shows
Il TO have split into two two-foot lodges.
They are believed TO come together again
deeper. Assays average Sl2 gold, IL per
cent. copper four ounces silver. though
some specimens have run much higher.
The Peaeock has a drift fifteen feet on
four-foot ledge. which carries peacock
copper and assays $50 gold and II per cent.
copper.
The Calumet Is one OF the best claims
on the mountain, having a ledge twenty
to thirty feet wide between walls of diorite
and syenite. The ledge matter is talcose
schist. In which are streaks of rich pay
ore one 70 three feet wide and carrying
large amount of petite. An analysis OF
this petite showed II TO be @ per cent.
gold 43 per cent. silver. 81 per cent. tellu-
rum. Picked pieces of ore show nuggets
of free gold, and would ASSAY as high rs
$751; 90. and the ledge Will average $40 gold.
A cross-cut tunnel Is now fifteen feet in
the ledge.
On the Gold HILL which has been bond
ed TO Capt. Hall for $3.50. twenty-five
foot shaft has shown up six feet OF ore.
with only one wall. and the ledge is be-
iieved to be fifteen feet wide. The Inter
national. so named from being right on
the boundary, has been bonded TO George
Garfield of Oakesdale. and @. Fl. Norton.
of Kettle Falls. large amount OF strip
ping has been done and a shaft twenty
five feet deep shows up four feet OF ore,
which assays p per cent. copper and 81
gold. The Satellite. which is bonded to
Capt Hall for 5000. has drift on the
ledge about fifty feet deep and several
open cuts showing four feet OF ore. As
saws show 50 TO $50 gold. fair average
being $40 carried by zinc blend. and a trace
OF copper On the Nickerson. In which
a half interest was recently sold TO George
Turner. OF Spokane several open cuts have
within the last few days shown up three
feet OF ore similar 20 that on the Inter
national The Copper King. also under
bond to Capt Hall, has n cross-cut four
or FIVE feet long, showing eighteen TO
twenty inches OF copper sulphides, which
ASSAY s12 gold and per cent. copper. The
Copper Queen. which IL believed 10 be on
the Copper King lead, has a three-foot
ledge OF quartz. carrying copper sulphides.
but no work has been done and no ASSAYS
have been made. The New York which
Is bonded 20 Mr.. Garfield, has a shaft
twelve feet deep and n cross-cut on five
foot ledge. which shows well In gold and
copper though no assays have been taken
The Frosty. which Is on the American
side adjoining The New York has a shaft
ten feet deep on two and one-half feet OF
ore similar 10 the Gold Dust. which ASSAYS
50 gold and Is per cent. copper. On the
| California some stripping has shown
! ledge eight or ten feet wide. The Orient
also has ten-foot ledge on the surface.
| but no work has been done
The bonding OF several OF the best claims
| by outsiders encourages the belief that
quite an amount OF development Will be
| done this summer. and work for the sea-
