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
lngs. 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 for
shipment, and during the winter it is
proposed to ship in all 500 tons of high
grade ore. Development is steadily
proceeding in the Silver Queen with, it
is said, satisfactory results. A bond
and lease was recently given to certain
parties on the Eethel, near Trout Lake
City, and some ore is being sacked, the
intention being to send it to some
smelling point before the end of the
year.
