with indignation, and are especially
gratifed TO announce that the rep

trust that the report is well grounded.
Almost all the smelters on the coast

mining is at stand still. 1t is hardly
probable that this suspension of oper-

there is no object in extracting them,

products to the Grand Forks smelter.

his voice was raised against a third

shipment of trout fry that came in
on the Spokane train that same even

an active interest in protecting game
birds and stocking the various fresh
water lakes of the county with trout
and bass. The commission succeeded

delivered at Oorville for distribution
Some $4,000 weer taken off the train
at Nelson, for planting in lakes south
of that place, and others were dis
tributed at Loomis, Okanogan and
elsewhere. 1t was the intention to
have 5000 left at Oroville, but through
circumstances for which no one here
is at fault there was no one on hand
to receive and care for the fish. I'm
luckily the people here were not noti-
fled that the fish were en- route, and
nothing was known of the expected
shipment until about the time the
train was in sight, and then it was
impossible to see those who would
have taken charge of the fry. This
must have been an oversight, as resi-
dents of other portions of the county
had been notified in advance, and were
on hand to receive their share of the
spOils.

REMARKABLE SHOWING,

The further progress is made open
ing up the ore body ON the cliff just
west of town the greater is the sur
prise of w. G. Smith, who owns the
property, with the extent and charter
of the mineral showing. The rock
carrying mineral is conglomerate,
and native copper can be seen through
all the pieces taken out where work
is going on. The ledge or dyke, is
100 feet wide, and wherever a blast
has been put in across that huge de-
posit copper is present. Investigations
as yet have been confined to the sur
face. If this is continuous lead, and
there is every reason from surface
indications to believe it is, this is one
of the most wonderful bodies of high
grade copper ore that has yet been
discovered in the northwest. 1t seems
incredible that this body, right on the
edge of town, the present working in
plain sight of the business center,
should have remained so long undis
covered. AS yet the holding is only
a prospect, yet with every round OF
holes it is becoming more and more
of a mine, and one of remarkable
promise. 1t would be strange indeed
if as work proceeds this deposit would
finally become a mine of great produc-
ing capacity and consequent value, al
though just as unexpected results
have followed mining in other districts
where mining has been made profit
able. Should the property turn out
to be such mine it will be the great.
