 John Hirschey, of Hope, will install a mill on his rich gold quartz property this season. Robinson and COlwcll, who own a rich prospect in the Moose pass district, propose to start dcvel- opment this season, an outfit for the purpose being on the ground. Should the vein maintain it's val ues with depth, and there is no reason. to believe otherwise, in view of the fact that all veins thus far developed show no evi- dence of pinching out, either in values or width of vein matter, a fine gold quartz property will be added to the list of producers, as 1t is the plan of the owners to 1install machinery just as soon as la demonstration has been made. The Hickey property at Mile 2l is being steadily developed, and a late report from there states thai the tunnel is now be- | ing driven in six feet of good pay ! ore.
