STRIKE ON GREY CLIFF.
A recent strike has been made on the
Grey Cliff comDany'S property, stu
ated on Crown creek, in the northeast
corner of the reservation, which NAV
prove very valuable. This claim was
one of the first discovered in that part
of the reservation, and almost ever
since its discovery development work
has been going on in a small way Up
to the present time they have almost
completed 100 feet of work. The tun-
mel is being run in on the ledge, but up
to the present time the ore has been of
low grade. A few days ago the ore
took decided change, which is
than heretofore.
NEST EGG MACHINERY.
The machinery for the Nest Egg
mine, at Rosalind, has arrived and will
be put in position as soon as possible.
The new machinery that is being
placed in the Nest Egg consists of a
4drill compressor. plant, a 60horse
power boiler and hoist and three ore
cars. The Nest Egg is developed by
three shafts. No. l is down about 80
feet, No. 2 about the same distance.
No. shaft is down 30 feet, from the
bottom of which a drift has been run
some 25 feet All three shafts are in
ore and have good showings.
IRON MASKS LUCK.
War Eagle are equally as much inter-
ested in the Iron Mask, one of the War
Eagles neighbors. That the War Eagle
people are lucky crowd to travel with
is shown by the reports from Rossland
regarding the Iron Mask. Superin-
tendent James Clark says that the vein
was cut to depth of 30 feet last
Tuesday and a clear ore body Is inches
wide exposed. The ore averages $45 in
now shipping two carloads of ore per
day and will soon increase to three.
BEAVER CREEKS RICHES.
The Beaver Creek district is liable to
loom UP as rich silver producing re-
gion. The latest reports from that sec
ton are to the effect that some very
rich strikes of galena have been made
on the Ida Queen, which is being de-
veloped this winter, a strike of almost
pure native silver is reported The ore
is very strange looking and assayed
$4,000. The vein is three feet wide and
the rock until this find has been of
very low grade. The tunnel is in 80
feet.
WORK ON KASLO CREEK.
The Gibson and Palouse mines, on the
south fork of Kaslo creek, are looking
very we'll at the present time The
properties the developed by a 173-foot
drift on the lead. From this drift a
Wine is being sunk which, at the depth
OF Is feet, struck a very good body Of
ore, nine inches in width. A crosscut
tunnel has been run 152 feet and has
cut No. 1 and No. 2 leads, both of which
show some good looking ore
BONDED THE ARGO.
The Argo. a claim adjoining the
townsite of Sandon, has been bonded
for $4,000 to an English syndicate It
is one of the best looking properties in
the district. The No. tunnel, which
is in 10 feet has had ore all the way.
and a winze sunk from No. tunnel to
No. tunnel has ore all the way.
The Orphan Boy, in the Big Bend,
will be equipped with machinery soon.
Manager Hoskins has ordered a mill
from San Francisco and it will be
shipped at once. He had three tests of
ore made in San Francisco, the aver
age return from 60 pounds being $29 so.
New Denver is to be Illuminated by
James d. Loney has bought
the old electric light plant at Kamloops
and is having it removed to New Den
yer, where it will be placed in opera
ton.
The Monitor owned by Mr.. Petty of
Sandon, is shipping ten tons of ore
daily. Mr.. Petty netted $4,000 last
year from the Monitor and will prob
ably beat the record this year.
