A considerable amount Of de-
velopment has already been done
and a good showing made. A
shaft sunk on the ledge opened
up some fine looking gray cop
per. It was then decided to run
q drift from a point down the
mountain side to give an esti-
mated depth Of about 400 feet on
this showing. The drift has
been run about 200 feet but it is
believed that 400 feet Of work
still remains to be done before
the workings reach q point below
the shaft.
The ledge shows a width Of
about 10 feet on the surface and
it is believed that this has ma
terially increased with the depth
given by the drift.
The company has started a
still lower drift to give an ulti-
mate depth Of $50 feet. This
has been driven about SO feet
ard the men had just reached
solid formation when work closed
down for q day or two.
The property is located west
of the Gray Copper mine in the
Osborne section and work is be-
ing done under the supervision
of Ed Eiseman.

Largest Diamond.

T. THAT the CulIinan diamond is
the largest ever discovered no one can
doubt It's original weight was 3.253at
carats- The stone was cut into eleven
pieces for King Edward, TO whom Il
was presented. The largest OF these
weighs 5I61z carats and the next 800 Is
carats. The largest is FIVE times the
weight or the famous KohinOOr diamond.
As 20 the Otner statements about the
Cullinan stone, e must be admitted
there is room for doubt. The Pitt dia-
mond originally weighed 80 carats- II
was cut TO 1864 cerats, and this stone
has been pronounce by some Of the
greatest desmond experts to be the most
brilliant and perfect in the world They
have fixed the value It $2.5G0.cJO, while
the same value has been given for the
CulIinan diamond The latter being SO
much larger than the Pitt would indi-
cate that the Culliuan diamond is its
inferior in quality.
