that of the Granite tramway. The

t~erials.
awe are doing considerable devel-
opment in the mine. We tunneled
on the vein for 1900 feet and are
now up-raising on the ore. 1t is
galena in porphyry, and the vein
varies from a mere streak to wide
shots of ore. The main ore body is
concentrating, but we have streaks
of shipping ore and could ship a
lower grade but for the high freights
and smelling charges. There are
thousands of tons on the dumps,
which was taken out in development.
"The camp now seems generally
prosperous and new strikes are being
made in several localities adjacent.
The Florence, which has been tied
up by litigation until lately is in
active operation. On the Silver
Belt, which adjoins the Broadwater
on the north, they ale driving a tun-
mel and are reported to have found
some very rich ore. On Mackey
creek several rich strikes are report
ed.
"There is a pretty good opening
for leasing miners there. The
Broadwater turned out two parties
this fall who had made enough
money to satisfy them. One of them
went back to Finland and the other
bought a ranch in the Dakotas and
settled on it. A good miner who
understands his business can make
money at leasing. One mistake
they make is to figure on the guam
tity of ore taken out, instead of on
the value. 1t would often pay them
to sort SO tons down to 10 tons of
high grade ore, on account of the
saving in freight and treatment
charges.
Barker has only low grade ore,
and there is very little doing there;
in fact, [ don't know of any work

a large scale with heavy investment,
which very few people care to I'M
dertake, as the freight charges on

"The advance in the price of sill
yer will give an impetus to mining.
The price of lead will also help, the
smelters having agreed on 4 cent
