 The Rainy Hollow crowd has la5ored hard and earnestly since the discovery of the district in developing it and bringing it to the attention of men with capital. Often they have worked under adverse conditions and with hard luck. In fact, they have put up, uncomplain- insly, with the hardships and trying experiences which seem to follow the poor prospector wherever he goes. But they Persevered with tha, per severeuce and grit that has made Alas ks what is-the Kind that makes tor success wherever it is displayed.

This does not include the gold and silver Two of the richest copper lodges that have been struck on the Kennedy and Burn ham property show immese value in bornite which runs high in copper glance. The lodges are 30 feet wide The work that has been done on these two claims for the past four years speaks for itself There are a5 the present time about 5000 tons of solid ore blocked out and ready for the Smel- ter, not ton of which will run less than S4OO, Martinus Thomson, the representative of one of the biggest London syudicates and share holder in the same, says, I have made many a big mining deal for my people but that of the Rainy Hollow is Of the greatest magnitude owing to the vast amount of capital to be invested before they can get the property started He also says that the ore body IS so well tdefned and covers such an area .that if men and money can do it the work will be vigor- usly carried out to make it one of the greatest producers iu the world.
