HARD ROCK MINING
 IN YUKON DISTRICT.

William Sine, Yukon territorial assayer, located at Whitehorse, sub mitted the following Interesting re, port, together with a review of the hard rock mining in southern Yukon, and references to other important hard rock mining in the territory:
 1 have the honor to submit a statement of the work done in this office during the twelve months pre- ceding March l, 1916, together with a brief summary of conditions in hard rock mining in different parts of the territory.
 During the above mentioned peri cd 1242 samples of rock were re ceived for assay, and 1,573 assays or quantitative estinlations We're nlai.e, comprising fifteen elements.
 This shows an increase of 4ZJ samples and 511 assays over and above that of the previous twelve months, the work from the southern end of the territory alone having almost trebled.
 In addition to the above, numcr- Ous QualititaVe determinations were made in connection with the identi- fication of various rocks and min, erals.
 A detailed statement is attached to this report showing the various elements for which assays were made and the different districts from which the samples were received.
 In the Whitehorse district con siderable activity in copper mining is going on, and it is expected that by the time navigation opens four copper properties will be shipping out ore to the shelter, namely. the Pueblo Grafter, Copper King and the War Eagle. Of these, the Pueblo will be worked on the most eXten sive scale. This group was closed down shortly after the outbreak of the war. but has lately been reor ganized under a new company, and at the present time the shafts which were allowed to fill with wa ter, are being pumped cry. and the shipping of ore will be started as soon as possible.
 It is the intention of the company to ship an average of about 30t tons of ore daily, and employ from two to three hundred men. The Grafter copper mine has beer steadily shipping ore from the frs of July, 1915. During that period over 5000 tons of copper ore has

been shipped to the smelter, aver aging seven per cent copper, and about three dollars in gold and silver per ton. About 500 feet of pros pecting drifts have been made, and at present the diamond dril! is b. ing used to locate such bodies of ore as may be at greater depths than the present workings It Is the intention of the company this cOm- ing summer to use the drill on &dia cont undeveloped properties. This mine employs an average of thirty men.
 The Anaconda and Rabbit Foot copper claims were worked for Q short time last summer, and about 1S0 tons of ore, averaging a little over five per cent shipped to the shelter At the present time an outside company Is negotiating with the owners of those two claims with view to leasing and bonding them.
 The War Eagle and Copper King properties have recently started ope- rations and are being opened up for shipping ore.
 The price of copper being now so high warrants the working of every copper property in the belt, and doubtless before the summel is over all copper properties around Whitehorse will be working.
 In the Wheaton River district. outside parties have bonded six of the best antimony properties, and are getting ready to ship at least 100 tons of antim0ny ore a month to the smelter This deposit is said to be one of the largest known deposits of antinony ore in the world
