Lakeview-Dividend about the middle
of this month according to a report
received from the officers of the COM

started on a larger scale than ever.

from the Lakeview-Dividend last year.
The ore was hauled from the mine to
the railroad at this point by an i'm
mense auto truck, which was kept on
the road as long as weather condi-
tions would permit.

OLD TIMER DEPARTS

Otto Schwartz left Wednesday
morning for Spokane, where he has
some valuable property interests
which he proposes to dispose of and
later return to LosAngeles, California,
the place he has decided upon for his
future home. Mr.. Schwartz expressed
regret at leaving Okanogan county, as
he is fond of this country and has
many friends here, but the associa-
lions are so sad to him that he felt
that changed surroundings were nee
essary to his peace of mind, He was
one of the first settlers in this part of
the county, having been preceded
here, as he says, by but two persons,
Alec McCaulay and Chas, Reinhart
For many, many years, Mr.. Schwartz
lived on ranch near the foot of
Whitestone lake, and there he reared
his family. A few years ago his wifes
health failing, he took her to south
ern California, hoping that the change
of climate would prove beneficial. But
she died there. A little later he lost
young daughter here, and the recent
tragic death of his son Herbert which
was the reason for his return at this
time, was such heavy blow to the
formerly cheerful little German that he
found it impossible to remain here
where there are so many constant re-
minders of the ones ne has lost. Mr..
Schwartz is comfortably well to do.
Besides some property in this country,
and the property he is now trying to
dispose of in Spokane, he has interests
nand around Los Angeles where he
intends to concentrate his holdings.
and which will keep him busily en-
gagged. Among his interests in that
country is one that promises to de-
velop into a big proposition. It is an
artesian prospect in a big valley about
$50 miles east of Los Angeles.

EDMONTON, ALBERTA, COMPANY
PURCHASED THE PROPERTY
AND START WORK
WILL DRIVE LONG TUNNEL
Contract Made With the Similkameen
Power Co. for Electric Power to
Run the Compressor Plant

Extensive development work will be
started on the Ivanhoe just as soon as
the necessary machinery can be
placed on the ground according to the
positive assertion of w. B. McChesney,
representative of the Alberta & Wes-
tern Mines, limited, an Edmonton, AL
berta, company that purchased the
lvanhoe several weeks ago. Mr.. Nc
Chesney returned to Edmonton Sat-
urday after visiting the property and
making arrangements preliminary to
the location of the compressor plant
and the starting of underground work.
While here Mr.. McChesney contract
ed for electric power to the amount of
~ horsepower from the Similkameen
Power Co. The machinery will be
ordered at once and shipped to the
property, and it is the intention of the
company to contract for driving 4,2OO
feet of tunnel at the start. This is to
be a cross cut tunnel and should tap
the ledge at depth of about 1000
feet. The work will be done under the
supervision of John E. Ryan, a min
ing engineer formerly connected with
the famous Treadwell mine in Alaska,
who made the examination of the
lvanhoe for the Edmonton company
before the deal for the property was
closed. Mr.. Ryan is now at the Ivan
hoe and will have general charge of
all the development work from the
start.
The work done on the Ivanhoe in
the past consists of five hundred foot
incline driven on the ledge which is
all In ore. The new company has
ample means to prosecute develop
ment to the point that will completely
demonstrate the value of the property.
They are not depending on the sale of
stock for funds with which to do the
work, but have the capital to start
with.
The values in the Ivanhoe are gold
and silver, principally the latter. The
property was carefully exported be-
fore the Edmonton company took it
over, and the report of their engineer
resulted in the immediate closing of
the deal and the determination to
thoroughly prospect and develop the
ledge. H.f

dark charges of dishonest methods in
operation have frequently been made
Whatever the cause, the present COM
pany is satisfied that it was not owing
to the lack of values in the ore or
failure in the quantity. The officers
of the Owasco company assert that
they have ample capital to carry out
their plans to thoroughly develop the
mine. At the start they will employ
about % or so men and will increase
the force as the progress of develop
ment requires.
The Okanogan Free Gold mine was
formerly owned by the bank of Mont
real which institution came into con-
troll of the property through the de-
fault of the old company in the matter
of loans made by the bank. The Owas-
co company purchased the property
from the bank about five or six years
ago. A United States patent has been
obtained to the property.
