ATLN.-An important consolidation is under way for the purpose of work ing Pine creek on a large scale under one management. The North Columbia Mining Company Pine Creek Power Company and the Stevendyke property will combine and use Decks ditch, the best water channel in the district, which will be enlarged to carry 1000 inches of water and give a pressure of nearly 200 feet. Some rich ground, pre- viously opened up on the south bank of the creek will be worked. The first steam shovel to be used in the Atlin district is to be installed shortly on the Nilsson and Muirhead ground, which is known to yield we'll, and is expected to soon be dividend payer. The Mckee Creek Hydralic property will be exten- sively worked this season by the Ham. shaws, who control practically all the water in the creek. The British-Ameri- can Dredging Company will operate it's dredge on Gold Run, while the British Columbia Dredging Company will com plete it's Bucyrus dredge at Blue canon, on upper Spruce creek, and should be at work by June 1. Australian dredge operators have taken a bond on the Gold Bottom Company's ground, and Bull and Dixie creeks will be worked by Californians who prospected them last year.-Mining Reporter.
