Narysvale Courant.
The past year has been one of great
vicissitudes in the district, and though
dscouraging at times, there has been
nothing which should work to the last
ing injury of the mines or their ulu-
mate value as mining propositions. On
the contrary, these bid fair in the near
future to work for the lasting benefit
of all concerned.
Both the Annie Laurie and the Sc
vier mines have passed into the hands
OF receivers. The former property
has been sold and has passed into the
hands of a set of men who are hard
at work upton "a program which will,
II followed with sufficient tenacity,
end in placing the mine once more
among the great dividend payers of
the state The latter Is still inactive
but there are negotiations now under
way which will in the near future put
IL back again In the active list.
The Annie Laurie mill has been
turning out 100 tons a day for some
time, and a considerable force of men
are engaged at the mine, not only in
stopeing out the ore, but in developing
the reserves of the mine. which are
very heavy. Though the financial de
preston has In measure retarded
the plans mapped out, those who are
the best informed aver that before
the close of 1905, there will be a new
mill of 500 tons capacity at work at
the mine, and that from that time on
the property will be worked to its full
est capacity.
Among the active properties in the
district may be mentioned the Col.
den Treasure. This property consists
Of twenty-one claims, and the com.
pany at its back is pursuing con

everything to encourage this work.
and the management are confident
that even before the month OF Janu-
airy has passed that there will be such
showing of ore as will justify a still
greater era OF activity. Already ore
which has a value of more than 81 900
per ton has been encountered in the
workings OF the mine, and though the
quantity Is small, IL IL in indication
OF what may be expected when the
ground is more fully developed.
There are many other properties in
the neighborhood OF Gold Mountain
which have been worked during the
year which has passed. Much of this
of course has been assessment work.
but In the aggregate II amounts to
many thousands of dollars.

the year has, all things considered.
been exceedingly quiet. The Gold De.
velopment company. which is the sue
cessor to the p. A. II. Franklin group
OF properties, has been operating dur.
ing the year. Though no ore has been
shipped. the work has been of very
satisfactory character The manage
ment has determined to follow a sys.

end, thoroughly demonstrate the value

alization which the territory shows
throughout, there Is little question,
should the present policy of the com.
pany be fully carried out. that its
properties will prove as great as any
In the state.
The Outzen group OF claims is an.
other property which has been under
development during the year The
success which has attended the labors
OF the promoters OF this property Is
one OF the most gratifying incidents
that can be recorded IN the camp Sys-
tematic work has been going on In
this mine for some time. The reward
has been the uncovering of a splendid
body of ore, which. In the near future.
will make II a worthy successor TO
the great Annie Laurie, when the An.
ME Laurie was at It's best. The year
1908 will see this property take its
place among the producing mines OF
the district.
But little work, II any. has been ac.

property has been mismanaged almost
from the first. AS was said above, Il
was the mine which first drew the at.

tiles In the old mine. What the next
year will have In store for Il, Il is
very hard to say. There Is talk. how.
ever, that il will again be worked.
The Wedge is another mine which
has been idle through he year Like
the Dalton, II has been worked at in
tervals, but never with any system.
