to its original basis. 1t is believed by

ties which he is Interested i'm. He has
an interest in five claims, viz, the
Wall Street, 1Etna, Georgia, Mary Ann
aud Alice May, all located about nine
miles from Nor.hport, where the LIE
Isoi Mining Company's big smelter is
situated. This smelter, Mr.. Mckay
says, treats ore cheaper than any either
in the I'm ted States. "A great deal of
work has been done on all of his claims,
but more on the Wall Street than any
"f the rest. On this property they have
II tunnel running 800 feet into the
mountain, one shaft 50 feet deep and
one So feet. Rock taken from this prop
eriy assays from $50 to $l75 per ton.
They have been obliged to suspend
work for the time being on account OF
bad air in the tunnel and are now wait
ing for machinery to arrive so they can
go on with their work. Mr.. Mckay
feels very hopeful and thinks they have
ii very fine property. Let us hope they
have, as he has We rIed very hard and
certainly deserves good thing.
