Gated nickel claim. The deposit is
believed to be very extensive, but no
work has been done in the way OF de-
velopment. The discovery is notewor.
thy, as nickel hitherto has not been
found in the province in paying guam
titles. A small stringer OF nickel was
found near Fort Steele several years
ago, but the showing did not justify
development.
Since the arrival there OF the presi-

ed. after a conference with Jay p.
Graves, the general manager, and A. C.
Flummerfelt, the assistant general
manager, to continue the enlargement
Immediately In order to bring the ca
pacity up to the 1000 tons daily. Two
additional furnaces will be ordered at
once. but as their construction will oc-
cupy three or four months the plant
will not be brought up to the maxi.
mum capacity before next spring. A
converter is also being installed in con-
nection with the enlargement now in
progress.
Possibly no mine in the Boundary
has had greater variety Of ups AMI
downs than the Winnipeg, located in
Wellington camp. a little over two
miles from Phoenix. 1t Is pleasure TO
state that at present the prospects OF
this property becoming one OF the large
mines Of the Boundary are decidedly
bright Shipments from the new ore
bodies were resumed about a month
ago. and several cars Of ore have been
sent gu, each week to the CRANKY smell
ter. This ore varies considerably in
value. but 1t Is reported that one car
gave net returns OF $34 per ton. Others
probably did not run as high, but still
were encouraging to the directors.
