Mining development Is proceeding
apace at Revelstoke, the properties at
present leading the way being the Sill
yer Cup, Sunshine, Towser, Nettie L.,
Silver Queen, Eethel, st. Elmo and the
Beatrice. At the Silver Cup rich ore
underneath the old workings has been
opened up, and by means of a raise in
ore, the lower tunnel, 100 feet deeper,
has been connected with the old work
ings. A crosscut tunnel, 120 feet below
the main Sunshine tunel, recently, af.
ter being extended about so feet, reach
ed the vein and high grade ore, the re
suit being most satisfactory in every
way. Two crosscut tunnels to tap the
ore recently exposed on the surface are
being driven on the Towser, bonded not
long ago for $4,000. At the Nettie l.
about 100 tons are sacked ready fol
shipment, and during the winter it /:
proposed to ship in all 500 tons of high
grade ore. Development is steadily
proceeding in the Silver Queen with, i
is said, satisfactory results. A bono
and lease was recently given to certain
parties on the Eethel, near Trout Lak'
City, and some ore is being sacked, tn,
intention being to send it to SOM
smelling point before the end of tn
, year.
