White Horse Ore Bodies Are
 Simply Immense
It All Sounds Like a Pipe Dream But Thoro To Evidently An Ann- oonda Over on tho Fity Mile River IT Reports Arc True

Mr. w. Trcthoway. a mining engineer from Seattle. came over from White Horse yesterday and goes below on Che City of Seattle tonight Mir Trcthcway has spent three weeks studying Che cop- per properties Of Atlin in Che interest of mining people.
 IIc says that for mdcvclopod prospects Che showing is simply Immense.
 There are two classes of copper ore In Che district One of these is a heml- ttc. which Hes in very large bodies but carries low grade vaigcs-about from two Co seven per cont copper and about 2 in gold. The other ore lies iu smaller veins and ls a bornitc cholcopyrtc which VIII. with a little picking. carry from % Go % per cent Of copper This ore. ns may bc seen from the tests. is very rich. These bodies are smaller and lt win Tee oulrc a great deal of work Co block them ont But thc showing is good enough Co warrant it
 The hcmultc ore shows great out cropplngs on the three different proper ties 10 lies seven miles from White Horse In the direction of Mt Golden Horn. The mineral zone follows along Che upper slopes of the foothills and Hes parallel to tho river
 There ls no dcvclopmcnti work Co bc done on these three great hemittc out crops They can be Quarried from i2 Co IS months on a very large scale without dead work There are i5oO0O tons of ore ln plain sight granting that Che ore goes no deeper than six feet But there ls no reason Co believe that these vast outcrops le above other rocks There ls every indication that they arc true lodcs In place and that Che surface covers mil- Hons and millions of tons. The lode on one or these properties is tracoahle for 2JO feet and it has on average width Of @ feet and nn upralse in thc hlll Of 80 feet 10 is O solid mass The ranguc in this orc contains much Iron. The forma- tIon of Che country ls very similar Co the copper bearing districts or Arizona ana Butte
 10 is a lucky thing for Che future of thls district that coal is being found in number of localities In the country. The coal found back of Golden Horn s good Hcamnlg coal or course. good cokcinr conl win bc necessary Co matte this ore lt win take experimenting to Go ascertain if Che coals SO for discover cd win hc available.
 The formation of the country ls calcItc and calomitc and Che lodes follow Che line Of contact of thc fclsitc and l1l- omitc It ls fortunate that these two rlneeas nf orc eXIst In thp same lIFtrirI TO desulphurize Che rich bornite Che hen- ltIte win be found very valuable iH smct' ing
 On thc the Pueblo Chemultc,gdH0nt,
 No mining could bc done at good 'l"- at untu Che orc bodies were suiic crtlG opened so that between 3oo and '0o ton. could bc daily taken from thc works
 Mir Trethway fully credits thc tory ci Che carload lot of ore which was sm1pc'I | from White Horse last winter and reaIi zcd Co thc mine owners i91 per ton. nct after paying all charges for freight aej smelling. There was practically ro rangue In that shipment Three car- loads Of bornite have been very proat ably shipped from White Horse.
 On Che Pueblo hcmlttel es-foot 1 shaft has been sunk and has exposed from 10000 Co l5O.Oo0 tons of ore.
 10 might Doc some time before condi- tlons regarding freight. coal and avail. able capital are such that Che White Horse ore bodies can be opened and work ed Co profit. but that Che time win come is reasonably certain.
