HALF A MILE TUNNEL
ON THE BLUE BELL
BIG CREEK PROPERTY CLOSE TO
ITS LEDGE--WORk WILL
BE PUSHED.

A review of the mining operations
on Big creek which The Miner pro-
poses to give at no distant day, will
form an interesting chapter. Consid-
erable activity has been in evidence
there during the long winter and a
busy season can be forecasted.
The Wardner or Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mineral zone is clearly In
evidence in the Big creek district. The
geological survey report treats quite
fully of this. The principal mining
Bunker Hill and Sullivan about two
miles.
One of the principal properties
which has been undergoing steady
and systematic development in that
locality is the Blue Bell, situated about
three miles up the creek.
The tunnel contract on the property
was completed short time ago and
another is to be let at once. long
crosscut intended for good depth. has
been the plan of development and TINS
has now been completed distance OF
22OO feet. According to estimates of
the company's engineer, SO feet more
of tunnel will reach the ledge and

WALLACE MAN IN
CAsS|AR IN SEVENTIES
NEW ALASKA STRIKE REACHED
PARTLY BY ROUTE TO
OLD CAMP.

"Cariboo and Cassiar" These are
The two great gold placer camps, the
most northerly in their time, that the
placer miner Of the '60s and '70s are
wont to dwell upon. They were great,
and In history rank with Pierce City.

gulch, last Chance and long list Of
others in the interior which came u
years after the 40 and so discoveries
in California In later years came the
Klondike, Fairbanks, Nome and other
far north discoveries. Cassiar and
Cariboo are in the British country.
Cassiar. farther north than Cariboo,
is in the frozen country.
So far as information is obtainable
now, the new gold diggings which
promise to rival the Klondike Is years
ago. are easiest reached by southern
route. The old Cassiar camp Is men,
toned by the Seattle papers in de-
Iscribing this route and 1t seems that
La portion of the trip is over the same
water way and trails which the Cas-
star gold seeker took in the '70s,
Angus Sutherland, of this city, was
ing the summer of that year there.
Asked by Miner reporter of tho then
fartherest northern gold camp, he
said 1t was a rich producer, and while
not so very long lived, 1t made many
quick fortunes. The ground was froz-
Ell and had to be thawed by the crude
method of log burning But the dig
lgings We're comparatively shallow.
The journey to the camp took five or
|six weeks. He was on slow boat
from Victoria to Fort Wrangel. From
there his party was transported quite

miles. Dees lake is in the Cassiar
country, and Mr.. Sutherland renem-
bered Tibbetts creek, named after the
discoverer, as one of the richest
creeks. Though late arrival, Mr..
Sutherland himself secured and
worked fairly good ground.

KLOND|KE IN ALASKA
NEW DiGGlNGS EAST OF ATLIN
ATTRACTING WIDE
ATTENTION..

Probably the most reliable news
from the new placer regions in Alaska,
$50 miles east of the Atlin district
finds it's way to Seattle. From what
is already known it gives big prom
ise and may even rival the Klondike
The Seattle Post -Intelligencer of re-
cent date has this interesting COM
ment and description of the district
and the routes by which it can be
reached:
.'As more is learned of the exact
Atlin district the conviction grows
among mining men that the route by
Wrangel, thence up the Stickene river
to Telegraph creek and across by the
wagon road constructed during the
rush of 1898 to Nahln crossing. only
90 miles from the new strike, is the
most feasible summer route.
"All tho supplies for Nakina and
the Nahlin river telegraph stations
regularly packed In from Telegraph
creek, which is the base of supplies
for all points on the Nakina river. The
Nakina Is 60 miles northeast of Atln
and about midway between Atlin and
the new gold fields,
From WrangeI by Steamer.
Telegraph creek is easily reached
from Wrangel by steamer and the
prospector can travel from Wrangel
to within 25 miles of the new strike
over well used wagon road first con-
structed In 1898 to accommodate the
Klondike traffic which went In by that
route to the Yukon fields and which
has since been maintained for service
to the country lying between the Cas-
star and Lake Teslin.
"On the other hand. the pack trail
leading east and southeast from Atlin
is not practicable for freighting be-
|yond the Nakina river, across which
there is no bridge. IT would seem
that barring the all-Water route from
White Horse down into the IIootalin
qua and down Lake Teslin, from the
southeastern tip of which pack
would still have to be made, the Wran
gel, Stickene river and Telegraph
creek route Is the best ono for use IN
summer.
New Strike in Basin.
--latest reports place the new strike
on Silver and Moosehorn creeks as
being in basin on the western slope
Of Level mountain, which in reality
Is a high plateau about IS miles east
Of Lake Teslln trail crossing on the
Nahlin river.
"rhe Nahlin is 90 miles from Tcle
graph creek, which would make the
new strike about lis miles distant.
Ordinary freight over the government
wagon road will cost about 8 cents
per pound laid down at the new gold
fields from Wrangel. II Ia said that
freight by way of Atlin, White Horse
or any other base Of supplies for Sill

The recent strike Of good copper ore
