TELLS THEM ABOUT THE KooTENAY
Mining Engineer Informs Colorado
of Imaginary Difficulties.

Denver Dec. Ga special to the News
from Aspen, Colo, says:
ID. w. Brunton, well-known mining
engineer who has just returned from
Kootenay. British Columbia, says that
district is rich In gold and silver. lie
states, however, that men make a mis-
take who go there at this time of the year
expecting TO find work. as only a few OF
the large mines are working, and pros
pecting is impossible on account of the
snow, which is four to 10 feet deep. Even
in the summer the heavy timber makes
prospecting very difficult, 1t being impos-
sible for pack animals to make their way
through the heavy growth. Transporta-
ton by boats is easy. as the rivers are
navigable.
