way on the hill and at Keno Clty. at the foot of the hill and at vari- ous places in the gulches and along the creeks at the foot of the hill where cabins are being built. 4 number of new cabins are heinz erected at Keno City by recent ar- rivals. Among those building at Keno City is Palmer, formerly Whitehorse automobile man, who re gently took two autos and truck and stock of merchandise to Mayo. He is erecting a store building at Keno City, and plans to run his cars on the Keno-Mayo route.
 The road crew under James Me Neill corduroyed a considerable DOT ton of the last two miles of the road connecting Discovery, on Dun can and Keno City, but the appro- priation was not sufficient .o finish the corduroy work this season. MT. McNeill left here to inspect the new Mayo-Minto cutoff
 The Yukon Gold is down 200 feet or more on No. 9 vein, its chef producer. on the Rico claim, and has out several hundred tons of ore on the claim which is sacked and ready for handling as soon as the roads become fit for the winter sleighing. Work is continuing on the vein. It has averaged something like four feet in width, and for some time, be- ginning early in the fall, the com pany got native silver and duby sil- yer in the deep shaft and the assay values of the ore from that shaft is reported better than ever The Yu- kon Gold has moved it's camp from it's original location to the point close beside No. 9 vein, on the Rico, and has the mess house, the bunk houses and all under one roof in a fine new lumber structure. It is understood the company also plans to take ore this winter from No. l vein and to continue development of No 12 vein Warren Mcfarland is in charge of the work of the com pany at Keno and in Mayo City. .
 On the McQuesten slop of Keno the Yukon Gold has erected fine new log building for crew waich is working there on the Sadie claim, which the company bought from Jim Clark The vein there is one of the largest in the district. Eight or 10 trenches show it to have width of 12 to 15 feet between the walls, with high values the full width, and carrying gray copper in much of the ore. A shaft which is being put down on what appears to be the narrowest point on the vein is down 35 feet and the width of the ore is five to seven and a half feet. and the values high in galena and gray cop per.
 A little to the south of the Sadie the Bradley people are opening the ground on the Ladue claim, on which Cunningham and Stewart made their rich strike, and have the vein locat- ed along stretch of 450 fee. or more, and are starting two shafts, which are to be sunuk depth of 300 feet each this winter. T le shafts are to be connected under ground. The work is in charge of w. B. Hargreaves in absence of Liy- ingston Wernecke. The vein matter apparently will prove as wide as that on the Sadie The ore in the original cut on the Ladue is said to be fully 15 feet wide, with seven and half feet of it solid. Assays there are reported to have averaged 800 ounces in silver.
 Mr Bussey. in charge of the Slate | Creek Company's operations, is busy at several points on the hill It is understood that he has arranged to work the Lucky Queen claim on a l lay this winter, and that he will have camp established there soon. The | logs, it is said, are being gotten out now. The Lucky Queen is the well known Hec Morrison claim, where large vein of gray copper ore has
 been located MT Bussey also is
 proceeding with the work of opening | the Fisher claim. where he struck the ore in September. The vein as now exposed is four feet wide, car
 rying sofid galena of high value. The
 isher claim was staked by Joe
 Walsh A camp is being erecte l in
 the vicinity by Mir. Bussey, and ne intends to keep crew of men working all winter l.. H. Titus is associated with the Slate Creek en- l terprise. The strike on the Fisher has stimulated interest in the vi- cinity of that claim, and quite num-
 Der of others owning claims on that slope are planning to work there this winter and next season. Charley Coutts recently bought clain on Crystal pup. and plans to prospect | it extensively.
 In Mayo City the shortage of ! cabins has stimulated the erection of buildings. Hammers are to be heard in all directions. Lumber is snort, owing to the Bradley people buying up practically the whole supply on hand at Mayo, but many are plan ming to get out logs this winter. A crew of men left here this week ;o go up the Stewart to cut logs for | the sawmill here. which is owned by n
