woods and Douglas camps), Smiths.
Copper. Deadwood Providence. Long
Lake. Summit. Greenwood WELLINGTON
and Skylark. The only localities in the
district not visited are Kimberly camp
and Pass creek. work in these two new
sections not yet being sufficiently adj
vance3 for them to have any reasonable
claim upon the time and attention of the
visiting official. Thefe is good reason TO
think that Mr.. Carlyle has seen much cal
culated TO impress him favorahly with the
prospects Of the mining industry in this
district both as regards variety and value
of ores and indications of permauence.
Under these circumstances his report vii,
probably confirm the belief many already

attain Ia considerable proportions here

numbers Of men and adding materially 20
the advancement and prosperity of the
Kettle River mining division While at
Grand Forks. Mr.. Carlyle will devote A

Pathfinder and few other claims on the
north fork of Kettle river He may also
visit Christina lake, TO see some OF tbe,
many claims recently located on its chief
tributary creeks. He will then proceed 10

IN the southern portion. he will examine
he leading claims OF the Trout Lake.
