The st. Paul will have acces to the
Lamont mine through the joint track
arrangement Mt the Great Western
II will be remembered that last
winter the ST Paul and Northwestern
built a joint track to the Great Western
mine. This track is now being ex-
tended SO as to connect with the spur
put in by the Northwestern from their
Mansfield branch to the Lamont shaft.
The route Of the new extension is a
parallel Of the Mansfield branch Of the
Northwestern down past the rock cut
b the Lamont shaft. This joint
track Arrangement is good thing
for the mining companies as il gives
them both roads to ship over and il
is likely that ere many months every
mine la the district will have joint
tracks 20 their pockets.

CLURGEs BUYING MINES.

The Clergue syndicate has been par
chasing some new mineral lands in the
viciaity Of the Helen mine The pro-
perties purchased are understood to be
the ones that the Picixands- Msther
people picked up over la Canada at
the time that the Multiplication range
WAS first discovered The properties
lie adjacent TO the Heien. The latter
property lies on the border Of y lake
and the mining company has been at
work for nearly a year pumping the
water ont Of the lake 80 as to yet the
ore that lies under the water. This
undertaking has been accomplished
and the Clergue peolpe found that it
would be Of advantage to them to
secure the surrounding properties.
IL is stated that tue Helen mine is
not panning out as well as was OK
pscted at the outset and it may be
that the immediate reason for the pur-
chase Of the properties is the fact
that the Glurges need ore and want

The long looked for depht
Of 100 feet was attained at this
exploration this week and drifting
was started At the present writing
the drift is in 10 feet from the shaft
3 feet Of which is ore Of excellent
grade and the breast is yet ore. The
boiler gayt out last Wednesday morn
ing and work was suspended until
another boiler could be secured. The
sinking gave indications Of ore all
along and The last 20 feet contained a
great deal Of good stuff, The drift is
being driven to the south across the
formation and present indications are
that the shaft is on the hanging side
OF the deposit.
II has been thought all along that the
shaft was on the foot side.
