VANCOUVER IRON PROPERTY.

Psnnsylvania Men Said to Be Buying
for Developments.
Seattle, July l6.-The Post. lntelli-
gencer states that managers OF the
McKeesport iron works. in Pennsyl-
yania, have been visiting the Pacific
coast, and have secured sites for new
iron works at Port Angeles, after an
unsuccessful attempt to locate in Vic.
toria, b. G. The belief is expressed
that the iron deposits of Vancouver
island have attracted the attention of
these iron men and that raw iron will
be taken from Barclay sound, and else
where in the island, down to Port An
geles for working. 1t is known that
the McKeesport iron men have secured
options on three properties in the Bare
lay sound country, namely the Ander-
son Company, another owned by Viii
son, Braden, Irving and others, and a
third the property of Thompson, Bra
den. Logan and Kains. An option has
been secured on these claims until the
end OF the year, and before the begin
ming of next month between 400 and
500 men will be taken up to Barclay
sound to exploit its mineral wealth.
If development proves that these
properties are at all equal their prom
Use, it will mean much for Vancouver
island and for Victoria. The proper
ties in question run about ~ per cent
in pig iron, a very high per centage,
and one which envoked enthusiastic
expressions from the visiting magnates.
From these the raw material for the
Port Angeles foundries will be drawn.
The Galena, one of the promising
claims ON the Gordon river, passed re-
cently>under bond to a number of East
ern capitalists. Active work will COM
mence on this mine on August ! and
will be continued until the end of the
year. A large sum is involved in this
transaction should it 60 through.

Gold Mining In British Columbia.
The first authenticated discovery OF

DR.. G. M. Dawson, occurred at Mitch

of Queen Charlotte island, in 1851, a
nugget weighing several ounces having
been accidentally picked up by an
Indian woman on the seashore. This
nugget WAS brought to Fort Simpson,

officer in charge of the Hudson Bay
Company's post at that place. was for.

places" The find was worked fol-
some months and then abandoned, the
narrow vein entirely giving out; no
other indications of mineral were ever
found on the island. Notwithstanding
that this extraordinary little seam Of
quartz had yielded in few weeks il
was worked a value of $4,000 on the
