Spokane recently to purchase sup
plies. He believes he still has nearly
that distance to go before he strikes
an ore body. but he is far from dis
couraged at the prospect
In fact, he has earned the name of
Volcanic Brown" because Of his per-
sistent faith in his property. which he
has named the Volcanic because Of his
theory of its formation. and he be-
lieves he will eventually uncover a
body of ore OF such magnitude as to
startle the mining world.
In recounting the events that led up
to his starting west on a prospect

"T was q filer IN q sawmill at Mus
kegon, Mich, in 1881, when the men Of
the mills struck for shorter time than
eleven and one-half hours.
"I had long been attracted by the
mining possibilities Of sthe Spokane

of the Canadian Pacific railroad I
prospected territory on either side Of
the roadbed from Banh to the coast,
and, returning to Revelstoke, B. C..
made a dugout canoe and followed the
river to Marcus, Wash. While there q
traveller, returning from the north,
gave me a piece of silver ore, which /
assayed and found to run 900 ounces
of silver; but as he was telling me the
location of the claim we were over
heard by two. other prospectors, who
set out for the place by
the way Of Spokane, up the coast and
inland from Victoria.
ITO head them on 1t was necessary
for me to make most of the trip on
snowshoes over an unsettled region,
suffering the greatest hardships on
the trip. but arrived there three days
before my rivals. No deposit of silver,
however. could be found.
