ing all this rich stuff is in British CO.
lumbia, the country has been opened
I'D by Americans who own most OF the
properties, although considerable Eng

he says, are modest, the Leroy mine,
owned by Americans, yielding not less
than 200 tons a day, $48 to the ton.
Some of the silver mines in the SLOGAN
region are paying handsomely, bring
ing to their owners in some cases not
less than $1,000 daily. ....4

mining machinery which is being
purchased from San Francisco and for
which a freight charge Of 81 cents per

purchased in St. Paul if obtainahle
