GRAND ENCAMPMENT ORE.
High Grade Gold From the Silver
Tip Mine.

{. F. Wray, who is in the city from
the Grand Encampment, says the
Boomerang, of Laramie, Wyo., re-
ceived a certificate this morning of an
assay made from ore brought in from
one of the claims in which he is in
terested in that camp.
The assay shows a value of SS.430 in
gold to the ton. This ore is from the
Silver Tip claim and was taken from a
shaft which had been sunk but Is feet.
One-siXth of this mine is owned by
Fish Commissioner Schnitger, and the
others interested are Messrs Pelz,
Wray, Boswell and Walters. They
have 200 tons of ore on the dump. The
ore is oxide of iron and quartz. An
assay made recently save a value of
Sa.644-6O. The property lies between
Cow creek and Calf creek
Mr.. Wray states that there are in
the neighborhood of 1900 people in that
section of country. Work is greatly
retarded by the amount of water that
is encountered. The season is extreme
ly wet, owing TO the large amount of
snow that fell during the winter and
spring on the range.
Mr. Wray says there is no trouble in
driving from Laramie directly into the
camp from almost any direction. From
Whisky park, the new location south
of the Encampment, the Cherokee
trail leads north.
There are two townsites in the Grand
Observation-Disclosures City and En-

BRITISH COLUMBIA MINES.
j. E. Bamberger Well Pleased With
the Kootenai Country.

]. E. Bamberger has just returned
from visit 70 the mining camps of
Rossland and Nelson, in the Kootenai
country. British Columbia, where he
has been in company with Messrs.
Simon and William Guggenheim of the
Philadelphia Smelling and Refining
Z company of Pueblo. of which Mr.. BAN
berger is the Utah representative.
In an interview with Mr.. Bamberger-
since his return he states that he was
well pleased with the camps visited by
him and he is convinced that in this
region some of the greatest producers
in the would will yet be opened, and
he stated that the mines inspected by
him were large with immense amounts
of ore in sight.
Mr.. Bamberge- is interested with
eastern people in a promising property
at Boundary Creek. and while he did
not visit ii during this trip, he was
informed that it was looking well with
good bodies of mineral in sight that
would carry average values of 10 per
cent copper, from 40 to 60 ounces silver
and $40 in gold to the ton. While no
ore is being shipped from the mine at
the present, a pump is being put in and
developments are being pushed with
the hope that railroad would be built
into the camp within another year, and
Mr. Bamberger stated that he had an
interview with President Corbin of
the Spokane & Northern road, who had
assured him that by next summer he
coulc ship his ore by railroad from
the dump at the mine The mine is 30
road, which is the nearest railroad
point. 1t is also only ten miles from
the American line.
The magnitude of the mines of Ross
land impressed Mr.. Bamberger very
favorably, and he states that they are
good for years to come. as the lodges |
are very large and the deposits per- !
manent. The leading mines of the |
camp embrace the LeRoi, which has /
caused such q stir in mining circles all /;
over the world; the War Ea gle is also !
a marvellous producer. while the Center /
Star is making fame as well as money /
for its owners, among whom are in /
cluded Alex Tarbut and Oliver Durranti
of this city. Another heavy producer
is the Nickel Plate. which is very
largely owned by Hon. A. W. McCune, /
the vice president of The Herald.
Mr. Bamberge- was well pleased with /
Rossland, which is a thrifty place of
about 5000 inhabitants, and he pre-
diets a wonderful future for the camp,
as ne states that new and important
strikes are of almost daily occurrence
there. He is also of the opinion that
in time Rossland will have smelling
facilities of its own, although he is sat
isfed that Northport, on the American
side of the line, is the natural smelling
center of that region, and that eventu-
ally it will come to this.

Gold Mountain, June 3O-There is a
fascination about this Gold Mountain
country that is not present in any other
district in Utah, excepting the region
west of Marysvale, where like condi-
tions are found The hillsides are gen
orally smooth. with pine and aspen
forests on every northern exposure,
while raspberry. sarvice and other
shrubs and alpine plants and flowers
form a carpet of emerald and exhale a
grateful fragrance, lulling newcomers

In such frame of mind we crossed

Considerable work has been done on
this group of nine claims and q small

lack of knowledge as to the best meth
Cd of treating the ore, the values went
with the shines. and partially justifies
the local saying that the Annie Laurie
tailings contain greater values than
were in the ore before it was milled.
The old workings are idle, but 80 feet
of tunnel is being driven near the mill.
It is the consensus of opinion among
those well acquainted with the group
that with intelligent development this
will be the making of a great property.
Some 600 feet down the hill TO the
